Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSerum TGF-β and TNF-α During Psoriasis Therapy with Narrowband Ultraviolet BAhmad Taha Khalaf, Yan YuehuaAlthough it is now an accepted concept that narrow-band UVB therapy is an efficacious therapy for psoriasis, the relationship between the response rate and the potential effects on serum cytokines is less well-established. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between the response rate and the changes of serum TGF-β and TNF-α necessary for understanding the underlying … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 12 · 6 Jan 2015 · 6,088 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePsoriasis Detection Using Skin Color and Texture FeaturesNidhal K. El Abbadi, Nizar Saadi Dahir, Muhsin A. AL-Dhalimi, Hind RestomProblem statement: In this study a skin disease diagnosis system was developed and tested. The system was used for diagnosis of psoriases skin disease. Approach: Present study relied on both skin color and texture features (features derives from the GLCM) to give a better and more efficient recognition accuracy of skin diseases. We used feed forward neural networks to classify … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,290 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNarrow-band ultraviolet B and Conventional UVB phototherapy in Psoriasis: a Randomised Controlled TrialYan Yuehua, Ahmad T. Khalaf, Zhai Xiaoxiang, Wang XinggangThe narrow-band (NB-UVB) was developed for use in phototherapy, as an alternative to a broad-band UVB source and to photochemotherapy, both of which have significant side effects and carry a risk of carcinogenesis. NB-UVB is a new phototherapy option that has proved to be particularly effective at clearing psoriasis vulgaris, with a reduced capacity to produce erythema. This study was … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,950 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsExploring the Relationship Between Skin Barrier Function, Sensitivity, and Repair MechanismsXiaoqing Yan, Yusong Shi, Jiguang YangFor healthy skin, the skin's barrier function must remain maintained. Many different molecular while immunological signaling mechanisms are involved in skin barrier control. The control of a healthy skin barrier, particularly acid mantle maintenance and proper amounts of ceramides, may help dermatologists develop remedies for skin barrier disruption disorders. In contrast, new medicines could focus on signaling pathways to offer … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 4 · 15 Feb 2026 · 1,893 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Duality of AIM2 Inflammasome: A Focus on its Role in Autoimmunity and Skin DiseasesMiriam CanaveseUnderstanding the inflammasome biology is one of the most exciting challenges in immuno-pharmacology. The role of the inflammasomes has been recognized in the host defense mechanism against invading pathogens and in the development of several conditions, such as cancer, auto-inflammatory, autoimmune, metabolic and neurodegenerative disorders. DNA recognition by the cells is a crucial immunological step leading to the initiation of … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 23 Apr 2016 · 7,369 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdipokines Overview: The Major Component of Immune DysregulationAnastasia Vladimirovna Poznyak, Daria Dmitryevna Borodko, Stanislav Anatolievich Antonov et al.Purpose of Review: Obesity is increasingly recognized as an immune endocrine disorder rather than only a metabolic condition. This review critically examines how adipokines particularly adiponectin, resistin, adipsin, and chemerin mediate the interplay between obesity and autoimmunity. Unlike previous reviews that broadly surveyed cytokines, our focus is on comparative roles of specific adipokines across multiple autoimmune diseases. Recent Findings: Evidence … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 11 Aug 2026 · 879 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Analysis of Binary Patterns Pyramid and Gabor Filters for Machine Learning-Based Nail Disease DetectionJagadeeswari Boopalan, Maruthu Perumal SabtharishiNail diseases, including Onychomycosis and Psoriasis, are common conditions that pose diagnostic challenges due to subtle clinical presentations and reliance on invasive methods. This study investigates the effectiveness of Binary Patterns Pyramid Filter (BPPF) and Gabor Filter (GF) as feature extraction techniques for machine learning-based nail disease detection, addressing three categories: Healthy, Onychomycosis, and Psoriasis. Using a dataset of 1,466 … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 8 · 2 Oct 2025 · 2,178 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractOzone Therapy: Overview of its Potential Utility in Male ReproductionZaher Merhi, Ali Bazzi, Rajean Moseley-LaRue et al.Ozone (O3), a highly water-soluble inorganic molecule, is a gas made of three atoms of oxygen (O) with a cyclic structure. Ozone can be produced by medical generators from pure oxygen after passing through a high voltage gradient. Ozone therapy (OT) can be given in medical practice via several routes that include transdermal, intramuscular, rectal, nasal, oral, vaginal, intravenous, intra-arterial, … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 4 Jan 2019 · 9,586 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVascular Endothelial Growth Factor: An Overview Across Multiple Disease ConditionsMiriam CanaveseVascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) is the major player in the regulation of physiological angiogenesis as well as it has also been implicated in pathological angiogenesis, associated with cancers and other conditions, among which psoriasis, autoimmune diseases and visual loss in macular degeneration. Interestingly, three regulatory Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (rSNPs) in the promoter region of VEGF-A gene have been significantly … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 6 May 2015 · 7,099 accessesView PDFCite
