Ultraviolet Radiation Effects on Immune Processes

Topical liquid crystalline gel containing lornoxicam/cyclodextrin complex

“…8 Release efficiency of lornoxicam-bCD complex (1:2 molar ratio) from different liquid crystalline gels immune system, which may ultimately contribute to the development of skin cancer [66][67][68][69]. Exposure to UVB light is initially associated with an inflammatory response characterized by increased blood flow and vascular permeability that results in edema and erythema, the infiltration of neutrophils into the dermis and the induction of proinflammatory cytokines [66,[70][71][72].…”

Recent Studies on Mechanisms in Photoimmunology

“…Studies to assess the influence of UVB radiation on contact hypersensitivity responses in mice have employed two distinct types of irradiation protocols (reviewed by Elmets and Bergstresser, 1982;. Regimens used for systemic sup-pression of immune responsiveness (high-dose UVB protocol) have employed large doses of UVB radiation (15-90 kJ/m') and have applied the contact sensitizer on an area of skin distant from the site of UVB exposure.…”

Effects of Sunlight on Mammalian Cells

“…It does not include in vivo studies, immune response studies, studies with skin as an organ, or studies with known sensitizers. Several recent Yearly Reviews in this series discuss related topics that include UV-carcinogenesis (van der Leun, 1984), the photochemistry of nucleic acids (Saito et al, 1983), fluorescent lamp radiation effects on eukaryotic cells (Jacobson and Krell, 1982) and the effects of UV light on humans (Greiter and Gachnait, 1984), on the immune system (Elmets and Bergstresser, 1982;Morison, 1984) and on the skin (Kochevar and Gange, 1983). Other recent reviews of photocarcinogenesis (Epstein, 1983) and action spectra (Coohill, 1984) provide detailed accounts of these subjects.…”
