Psoriasis and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are chronic inflammatory conditions associated with the dysregulation of immune system reactivity. The inflammatory processes of both diseases have not yet been fully characterized, and the evaluation of proteins/markers that could be involved in their pathogenesis is of great importance. We selected four markers: CRP, sCD200R1, CD5L, and sTLR2; in particular, sCDR2001 has not yet been measured in the context of psoriasis and metabolic syndrome. Material and methods: In the study, 64 controls and 43 patients with psoriasis with or without a metabolic syndrome were enrolled. The levels of selected markers were measured using ELISA kits. Results: CRP levels were significantly higher in psoriasis patients, especially in the subgroup of patients with MetS compared to nonMetS patients (p < 0.01). sCD200R1 and sTLR2 were not significantly different between groups and subgroups; however, CD200R1 levels were slightly higher in both control groups compared to both groups of patients. CD5L levels were significantly higher in patients with MetS compared to nonMets patients (p < 0.02). We also evaluated the correlations between parameters in controls and patients’ groups, as well as in subgroups. Correlations between BMI and CRP were found in all groups and subgroups. Other correlations were group- and subgroup-specific. For example, in the patients’ group, CD5L correlated with sCD200R1 (p < 0.05) and in MetS controls, with age (p < 0.03). Conclusion: The results show that the presence of systemic inflammation associated with psoriasis and metabolic syndrome and their combination alters the expression of specific molecules, especially CRP and CD5L, which were significantly increased in patients with psoriasis and a metabolic syndrome compared to controls without metabolic syndromes. Correlations between CRP and BMI in all groups suggest that overweight and obesity increase the intensity of inflammation and potentiate CD5L expression. In contrast, levels of molecules that may limit inflammation were not increased in psoriasis and metabolic syndrome subjects (they were non-significantly lower compared with healthy controls), which may reflect the chronic nature of both diseases and the exhaustion of inhibitory mechanisms.

“…It may also be appropriate to test whether un-trained consumers rate textiles more closely to objective testing results when using prescribed handling and manipulation methods such as those suggested by the AATCC Evaluation Procedure 5 (2006). Kim and Winakor (1996) also suggest that unipolar perceptual scales are more intuitive for participants than bi-polar scales. Although this is not standard descriptive practice in the textile industry, further study with unipolar perceptual scales may clarify the usage of terms such as Warm and Cool.…”

The tactile triangle: a design research framework demonstrated through tactile comparisons of textile materials

Tactile experiences of textile materials are difficult to communicate and elicit. To interrogate this space we propose the tactile triangle, a framework to facilitate systematic analysis and comparison of tactile experiences. The three levels reflect different aspects of tactile experience and possible methods to capture them: physical properties, in which human senses or objective testing measure fabric properties; the perceptual space level in which triadic comparisons reveal combinations of various dimensions which capture and describe tactile experiences; and finally the communication level, in which design games elicit languages communicating tactile perceptions. A case study illustrates the framework's use to compare the tactile experiences of textiles in experts and consumers. The results show expert and consumer perceptions overlapped and correlated well to objective measures except in the perception of temperature. We conclude by discussing the framework's effectiveness, the contribution of individual methods, and its potential as a communication tool for designers.Keywords: textile; fabric; sensory; touch; perception; aesthetics.

“…45 It seems that the uniformity of the group of persons who estimate the hand subjectively is important. Nationality, age (the sense of touch, suffers from deleterious effect of age -the effects of ageing are substantially greater in the Pacinian corpuscles than in other mechanoreceptors), gender, touching time, applied force, the speed of finger movement, 50 menstrual cycle (cutaneous sensitivity to painful stimuli, to changes in skin temperature, and to tactile stimulation have also been found to vary with the menstrual cycle; after the onset of menstruation, thresholds of Pacinian corpuscles increase reaching maximum near the ovulation time) and occupational activity, [51][52][53][54][55] with educational background as a secondary issue along with everyday life, all have an influence on the fingertips' skin surface quality.…”

The aims of this wide-range review concerning the hand of textiles are to present:(1) the diversity of definitions and the complexity of analysis of the hand of textiles;(2) the authors' own definition of the hand of textiles and division of techniques of its analysis. The review presents objective techniques, subjective techniques along with their physiological background, and a combination of techniques as well as a new biomechanical approach called modelling of skin. The structure of the paper is as follows:definitions of the hand of textiles, including the authors' definition; objective techniques of hand measurement; physiological approach; subjective techniques of hand measurement; combination of objective and subjective techniques; modelling techniques and the biomechanics approach for measurement of the hand of textiles; division of hand measurement techniques according to the authors. This paper gives a review of the international literature from 1930 to 2010 concerning the hand of textiles and other related subjects like skin physiology, perception though the skin, and biomechanical aspects of the skin. Due to obvious limitations the authors have chosen only those papers which seemed to have the strongest relation to the presented topic and which are at the same time the most interesting studies in the authors' opinion. KeywordsHand of textiles, subjective hand, objective hand, hand measurement techniques, model of the skin, biomechanical modelling Definitions of handThe hand of textiles is a crucial element influencing the purchase of textiles by individuals. Knowing the hand features of produced textiles and being able to analyse or predict them on the basis of textile components could provide producers and hand analysis experts with a tool which would allow individuals to be assured of final products with the best hand features, which
