“…UVB radiation penetrates to the epidermis and the upper dermis of the skin, where it mainly influences keratinocytes and Langerhans cells, not passing deeper layers of the skin and the structures under them (Gamblicher et al, 2005). Therefore, the increase of TGF-b1 serum concentration of the patients who received 311 nm narrow band UVB in treatment, may be related with the stimulation of TGF-b1 production in skin cells, and not with its its increase in blood.…”

“…Er kommt in allen Lebensaltern und bei beiden Geschlechtern vor. Eine Therapie ist nicht nötig, bei Therapiewunsch können topische Steroide (Klasse I-II) oder Schmalspektrumlichttherapie mit UVB 311 nm angewandt werden [2,15,19,34].…”

The diagnostics of penile skin alterations represent a urological and dermatological challenge. The spectrum of differential diagnoses ranges from benign skin alterations with no clinical significance, through infections, vesiculobullous diseases and neoplasms up to acute diseases necessitating emergency interventions. Evidence-based therapy concepts are not available for all these diseases and due to the rarity an interdisciplinary cooperation is expedient and promising.

“…Topical corticosteroids are usually used to treat AD flare-ups (Gambichler et al, 2005), although AD can also be treated by homeopathy, massage therapy, dietary restrictions, reduction of house mite dust, and herbal medicine. The use of herbal medicine may be preferred to steroids, because to the side effects of the latter.…”

(B. kazinoki) has long been used in the manufacture of paper in Asian countries. Although B. kazinoki leaves (BK) have been employed in dermatological therapy, use of BK has not been tested in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD). Using Nc/Nga mice, which are genetically predisposed to develop AD-like skin lesions, we confirmed the efficacy of BK in AD treatment. BK extract was applied topically to Dermatophagoides farinae-induced AD-like lesions in Nc/Nga mice, and the effects were assessed both clinically and by measuring skin thickness on the back and ears. We measured the effects of BK extract on plasma levels of IgE and IL-4. We also measured the ability of BK extract to inhibit the secretion of hTARC in HaCaT cells after stimulation by TNF-α and IFN-γ. We found that BK extract significantly reduced ear and dorsal skin thickness and the clinical signs of AD, as well as significantly down-regulating the plasma levels of IgE and IL-4 (p<0.01 for each comparison). Moreover, 500 mg/ mL of BK extract inhibited hTARC secretion in HaCaT cells by activated TNF-α/IFN-γ by about 87%. These findings suggest that topical application of BK extract has excellent potential in the treatment of AD.
