Abstract:
The use of at least any one of astaxanthin and an astaxanthin-containing composition for reducing the progression of damage caused to human skin by an external factor, and a method for reducing the progression of damage caused to human skin by an external factor, the method including allowing astaxanthin to be ingested, each according to the present invention, provide a food-and-drink composition, food-and-drink, pharmaceutical composition, and agent to reduce the worsening of the state of damaged human skin.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of a formulation for oral use comprising ozonated oil in the prevention and/or treatment by oral administration of systemic tissue diseases caused by monocyte inflammation, more in particular skin and/or mucous membrane lesions caused by the exposure to ionizing radiations and/or chemotherapeutic treatment.
Abstract:
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of a combination of triiodothyroacetic acid (TRIAC) and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) compared with TRIAC, DHEA or placebo alone on corticosteroid induced effect on collagen synthesis in humans. Six healthy male human volunteers aged 40-65 participated. Four areas of abdominal skin were pre-treated for 3 weeks with betamethasone valerate cream. The same areas were then treated with one of the following alternatives in the same cream vehicle: TRIAC, DHEA, TRIAC+DHEA and placebo for 2 weeks. Then suction blisters were raised in each of these areas with a vacuum pump. The blister fluid from each area was collected and frozen until analysis. Analysis of amino terminal propeptide of human type I procollagen (PINP) in suction blister fluid was performed using a commercially available immunoassay (Orion Diagnostics) kit. This study has for the first time shown that a combination of TRIAC and DHEA could effectively stimulate collagen synthesis in skin pretreated with betamethasone valerate demonstrated by an increase in PINP, and that the combination was more effective than TRIAC or DHEA alone. This combination could be used to effectively treat skin atrophy in corticosteroid induced skin atrophy. It could also be used to treat skin atrophy due to other circumstances such as e. g. sun damaged skin and skin atrophy due to high age. Another interesting application would be to combine TRIAC and DHEA with a potent corticosteroid in order to prevent corticosteroid induced skin atrophy. If this combination still is effective in the treatment of eczema and psoriasis and without the risk of skin atrophy this combination will be a major breakthrough for the use of potent topical corticosteroids.

Abstract:
A presente invenção apresenta nanoesferas carregadas com extrato de própolis vermelha (NPV), compostos por extrato hidroaloólico padronizado de própolis vermelha proveniente da própolis vermelha in natura, e de matrizes poliméricas com função nanoencapsulante, dispersante, estabilizante, evitar autooxidação de cremes. As NPV em suspensão ou no estado sólido são consideradas produtos intermediários para produção de composições dermocosméticas. A invenção trata também dos processos de caracterização das nanoesferas carregadas com extrato de própolis vermelha com tamanho nanométrico, bem como da identificação de isoflavonóides e atividade antioxidante e ação leishmanicida. Adicionalmente, a presente modalidade de invenção apresenta processos de obtenção das composições dermocosméticas contendo as NPV, preferencialmente, na forma de cremes não-iônicos, podendo ser também na forma de cremes catiônicos. Por fim, são apresentados usos das composições dermocosméticas contendo nanoesferas carregadas com extrato de própolis vermelha no tratamento de leishmanioses, cicatrizante e antioxidante.
