Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) has the potential to interact with tissue or cells leading fast, painless and efficient disinfection furthermore positive effects on wound healing regeneration. For clinical implementation it is necessary examine how CAP improves which molecular changes occur after treatment. In present study we used second generation MicroPlaSter ß® in analogy current standard (2 min treatment time) order determine induced by using vitro cell culture studies human fibroblasts...

Abstract Topical photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a widely approved for actinic keratoses, Bowen's disease (squamous cell carcinoma in situ ), superficial and certain thin basal carcinomas. Recurrence rates when standard treatment protocols are used typically equivalent to existing therapies, although inferior surgery nodular carcinoma. PDT can be both as lesional field therapies has the potential delay/reduce development of new lesions. A protocol using daylight treat keratoses practised, with...

Despite of the approval Photofrin® in various countries, chemically defined sensitizers for photodynamic therapy (PDT) are still needed absorption light infrared spectrum, which provides a maximal penetration into tissue. Therefore, both efficacy and mechanism action clinically approved dye indocyanine green (ICG) laser irradiation were investigated vitro. For investigation phototoxic effects, HT-29 cells incubated 24 h prior to by using different concentrations ICG (10–500 μM). In each...

Over the past few years, application of cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) in medicine has developed into an innovative field research rapidly growing importance. One promising new medical CAP is cancer treatment. Different studies revealed that may potentially affect cell cycle and cause apoptosis or necrosis tumor cells dependent on device doses. In this study, we used a novel hand-held battery-operated utilizing surface micro discharge (SMD) technology for production air consequently analysed...

In the last twenty years new antibacterial agents approved by U.S. FDA decreased whereas in parallel resistance situation of multi-resistant bacteria increased. Thus, community and nosocomial acquired infections resistant led to a decrease efficacy standard therapy, prolonging treatment time increasing healthcare costs. Therefore, aim this work was demonstrate applicability cold atmospheric plasma for decolonisation Gram-positive (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA),...

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rarely diagnosed ulcerative neutrophilic dermatosis with unknown origin that has been poorly characterized in clinical studies so far. Consequently there have significant discussions about its associated factors and comorbidities. The aim of our multicenter study was to analyze current data from patients dermatologic wound care centers Germany order describe comorbidities PG.Retrospective investigation PG Germany.We received 259 20 different Germany. Of these...

Abstract Cold atmospheric plasma has already been shown to decrease the bacterial load in chronic wounds. However, until now it is not yet known if treatment can also improve wound healing. We aimed assess impact of cold argon on process donor site Forty patients with skin graft sites upper leg were enrolled our study. The divided into two equally sized areas that randomly assigned receive either or placebo (argon gas) for 2 minutes. Donor healing was evaluated independently by blinded...

Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) has been gaining increasing interest as a new approach for the treatment of skin diseases or wounds. Although this demonstrated promising antibacterial activity, its exact mechanism action remains unclear. This study explored in vitro and vivo whether CAP influences gene expression molecular mechanisms keratinocytes. Our results revealed that 2 min using MicroPlaSter ß analogy to performed clinical studies wound induces IL-8, TGF-ß1, TGF-ß2. In assays indicated...

Abstract Numerous comorbidities and cofactors have been known to influence wound healing processes. In this multicentre study, clinical data of 1 000 patients with chronic leg ulcers from ten specialised dermatological care centers were analysed. The patient cohort comprised 567 females 433 males an average age 69·9 years. wounds persisted on for 40·8 months had a mean size 43·7 cm 2 . Venous represented the most common entity accounting 51·3% all wounds, followed by mixed‐type in 12·9%...
