“…Therefore, the assessment of the interaction between acne, emotional issues and psyche is crucial to avoid severe damage. 5 - 12 Recent studies have noticed the negative impact of acne on medical students, as well as significant associations between suicidal ideation, mental health problems, social impairment, and adolescents with acne. 12 - 13 …”

BACKGROUNDmany studies about the psychosocial impact of acne have been reported in international medical literature describing quality of life as a relevant clinical outcome. It is well known that the patient's perception about the disease may be different from the physician's evaluation. Therefore, it is important to use validated instruments that turn the patient's subjective opinion into objective information.OBJECTIVESto translate into Brazilian-Portuguese language and to culturally adapt a quality of life questionnaire, the Acne-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (Acne-QoL), as well as to evaluate its reliability and validity.METHODSmeasurement properties were assessed: 1) validity: comparison between severity and Acne-QoL domain scores, correlations between acne duration and Acne-QoL domain scores, and correlation between Acne-QoL domain scores and SF-36 components; 2) internal consistency: Cronbach's α coefficient; 3) test-retest reproducibility: intraclass correlation coefficient and Wilcoxon test.RESULTSEighty subjects with a mean age of 20.5 ± 4.8 years presenting mild (33.8%), moderate (36.2%) and severe (30%) facial acne were enrolled. Acne-QoL domain scores were similar among the different acne severity groups except for role-social domain. Subjects with shorter acne duration presented significant higher scores. Acne-QoL domains showed significant correlations, both between themselves and with SF-36 role-social and mental health components. Internal consistency (0.925-0.952) and test-retest reproducibility were considered acceptable (0.768-0.836).CONCLUSIONSthe Brazilian-Portuguese version of the Acne-QoL is a reliable and valid satisfactory outcome measure to be used in facial acne studies.

“…According to the literature, depression is one of the most common psychiatric disorders in dermatology, affecting 25 to 40% of patients. Thus, dermatologists and other health professionals should be attentive to depressive symptoms, as more severe cases can result self-deprecating feelings, which are reinforced by the comments of others and experiences of interpersonal rejection (Ribas et al, 2008;Knobel et al, 1977).…”

Acne é uma condição genético-hormonal caracterizada por manchas moderadas a graves que ocorrem devido ao acúmulo de sebo nos folículos capilares por meio da hiperqueratinização folicular. Pode ser inflamatório ou não inflamatório e é autolimitado, o que significa que tende a evoluir para resolução naturalmente. No entanto, os casos mais graves podem exigir tratamento prolongado para evitar o agravamento da condição e cicatrizes permanentes. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o impacto da acne na qualidade de vida de adolescentes e determinar associações com estilo de vida e hábitos alimentares. Estudo descritivo, analítico e transversal realizado com adolescentes brasileiros de 14 a 18 anos de escolas públicas. A coleta de dados envolveu a aplicação de um questionário com informações sociodemográficas, o Global Acne Grading System (GAGS) e o Cardiff Acne Disability Index (CADI). A prevalência de acne foi de 100%. De acordo com o GAGS, 76,63% tinham acne leve, 21,99% acne moderada e 1,37% acne grave. Com base no escore CADI, 70,45% da amostra apresentou impacto leve, 25,12% impacto moderado e 3,44% impacto grave. A análise estatística dessas variáveis revelou resultados significativos (p <0,05), mas o coeficiente de Pearson revelou uma correlação fraca (r = 0,265). Os presentes achados demonstram que o impacto da acne na qualidade de vida dos adolescentes é diretamente proporcional à sua gravidade. É necessário disseminar o conhecimento sobre o tema para a população para diminuir o impacto dessa condição.

Chitosan (CH) is a biopolymer that exhibits a number of interesting properties such as anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activity and is also a promising platform for the incorporation of photosensitizing agents. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of antimicrobial activity of chitosan hydrogel formulation alone and in combination with the methylene blue (MB) associated with antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) against planktonic and biofilm phase of Propionibacterium acnes. Suspensions were sensitized with 12.5, 25.0, 37.5, 50.0 μg/mL of MB for 10 min and biofilms to 75, 100 and 150 μg/mL for 30 min then exposed to red light (660 nm) at 90 J/cm2 and 150 J/cm2 respectively. After treatments, survival fractions were calculated by counting the number of colony-forming units. The lethal effect of aPDT associated with CH hydrogel in planktonic phase was achieved with 12.5 µg/mL MB and 1.9 log10 biofilm reduction using 75 µg/mL MB. Rheological studies showed that formulations exhibited pseudoplastic non-Newtonian behavior without thixotropy. Bioadhesion test evidenced that the formulations are highly adhesive to skin and the incorporation of MB did not influence the bioadhesive force of the formulations.
