Ultraviolet A (UVA ) phototherapy (spectral range 340-400 nm) is a well-established treatment option for various skin diseases such as localized scleroderma. Recent improvements of conventional UVA light sources (metal-halide or fluorescent lamps) have brought attention to a new light-emitting diode (LED) technology with remarkable advantages in handling and clinical routine. This study provides a preclinical histological and molecular evaluation of an LED-based UVA prototype with a narrower spectral range (360-400 nm) for treating localized scleroderma.

Background: Morphea (morphoea) is an immune-mediated disease in which excess synthesis and deposition of collagen in the skin and underlying connective tissues results in hardened cutaneous areas. Morphea has different clinical features according to the subtype and stage of evolution of the disease. There is currently no consensus on optimal interventions for morphea.

Therapeutic progress in primary cutaneous lymphomas continues to be largely dominated by the T-cell lymphomas, towards which the great majority of recent therapeutic innovations have been directed. The latter include local treatments consisting either of relatively classical but "revamped" approaches involving different pharmaceutical forms (example: chlormethine gel) or else lower but seemingly equally effective dosages (electron therapy), or of more innovative approaches (example: UVA-1, dynamic phototherapy, imiquimod, resimiquimod). However, significant progress has been made chiefly in terms of systemic treatments with the emergence of "targeted" drugs that directly and specifically target tumour cells (monoclonal antibodies directed against CD30, CCR4 or CD158k) and the further development of "small" molecules such as histone deacetylase inhibitors and new cytostatics.
