Article Synopsis
- The review aimed to assess the effectiveness of macrolides in treating asthma in adults and found mixed results.
- While macrolides helped improve asthma control and quality of life slightly, they did not significantly reduce severe exacerbations, improve lung function, or show major benefits over placebo.
- Overall, evidence is insufficient to recommend macrolides for adult asthma management despite some noted positive effects.

Narrow-band ultraviolet B (NB-UVB; 310-315 nm) is commonly used to treat vitiligo, but the mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effect have not been understood completely. Here, we evaluated the effects of broadband UVB (BB-UVB), NB-UVB, 308 nm xenon chloride (XeCl) excimer laser, and 308 nm XeCl excimer light on the expression of endothelin-1 (ET-1) in a cultured human epidermal tissue model. Our results provide a theoretical basis for the effectiveness of UVB irradiation, including excimer light and excimer laser, in the treatment of vitiligo.

Geriatric and Environmental Dermatology, Nagoya City University of Medical Sciences, Nagoya, Japan.
Background: While the 1450 nm diode laser is highly effective for the treatment of acne, its use is associated with considerable pain. Low-energy, double-pass irradiation was attempted as an alternative to prevent the occurrence of pain as an adverse effect.
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of low-energy, double-pass, 1450 nm diode laser treatment in the treatment of acne in Asian patients.
A new targeted blue light phototherapy for the treatment of acne.
Photodermatol Photoimmunol Photomed
February 2007
Department of Geriatric and Environmental Dermatology, Nagoya City University of Medical Sciences, Mizuho-cho, Nagoya, Japan.
Background: The effects of blue light phototherapy on inflammatory acne lesions were recently investigated. Many reports have used high-intensity, narrow-band 420 nm UV-free blue light delivery systems. The aim of this study was to evaluate a new blue light system (MultiClear) for targeted blue light phototherapy.
