Phosphor for phototherapy: Review on psoriasis

Abstract: We review developments in the field of phototherapy in terms of the treatment wavelength, dosimetry and phosphor used for different dermatoses. We attempt to categorize skin lesions and diseases by morphology, focusing on conditions that can be treated using phototherapy and photochemotherapy. Recent research and review articles are studied, the treatments explained and information on phototherapy that is applicable to psoriasis and other diseases is tabulated. The clinical features, epidemiology, epitalogy an… Show more

“…UVA is normally in the wavelength range from 320 to 400 nm and causes skin tanning effects. UVB is in the range from 280 to 320 nm and causes sunburn (erythema) [ 3 ]. UVA is known to damage DNA, protein and lipids.…”

“…Psoriasis is a highly recurrent skin immune disease characterized by skin lesions. The incidence in the world is about 0.1–3%, and 5 million people suffer from this disease in China . The symptoms of psoriasis are mainly reflected in the epidermal proliferation and inflammatory cell infiltration, accompanied by rapid proliferation and differentiation of keratinocytes, over‐angiogenesis in dermal papillary as well as T cell infiltration .…”

“…The incidence in the world is about 0.1–3%, and 5 million people suffer from this disease in China . The symptoms of psoriasis are mainly reflected in the epidermal proliferation and inflammatory cell infiltration, accompanied by rapid proliferation and differentiation of keratinocytes, over‐angiogenesis in dermal papillary as well as T cell infiltration . The complex pathogenesis of psoriasis is a result of genetic inheritance, immune, infection and other related factors which still cannot be fully clarified .…”

“…The key cytotoxic effect of UVB during plaque clearance in psoriasis is apoptosis of epidermal keratinocytes 10 . Furthermore, UVB damages nuclear DNA (a UVB's chromophore), which suppresses DNA synthesis in psoriatic epidermal cells 11 . In addition to its suppressive effect on keratinocytes, NB-UVB reduces the number of inflammatory myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs) and interleukin (IL)-17/22-producing CD3+ T cells 12 .…”
