UV-induced skin damage.
Solar radiation induces acute and chronic reactions in human and animal skin. Chronic repeated exposures are the primary cause of benign and malignant skin tumors, including malignant melanoma. Among types of solar radiation, ultraviolet B (290-320 nm) radiation is highly mutagenic and carcinogenic in animal experiments compared to ultraviolet A (320-400 nm) radiation. Epidemiological studies s...
متن کاملPhotodynamic Therapy for Sun Damage and Skin Cancers
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a medical treatment that uses a photosensitizing drug (a drug that becomes activated by light exposure) and a light source to activate the applied drug. The result is an activated oxygen molecule that can destroy nearby cells. Precancerous cells and certain types of cancer cells can be treated this way. The procedure is easily performed in a physician's office or o...
متن کاملDoes evening sun increase the risk of skin cancer?
C ircadian clocks are time tracking systems for all organisms, including mammals, to adjust to the day/night cycle in regard to physiological behaviors. Usually, a 24-h periodicity is observed in the rhythms of mammals related to feeding, sleep and other behaviors. However, the cycle can also be reset by light or other external signals. Circadian regulation involves a central clock in the hypot...
متن کاملHistopathological studies on sun-exposed hexachlorobenzene-induced porphyric rat skin.
Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) is a porphyrogenic agent. The inducement of skin changes was attempted through repeated exposure of the skin of HCB-induced porphyric rats to sunlight. The following skin changes were produced in the porphyric rats; erythema, erosion, crust, skin thickening and scarring. Histopathological examination revealed the presence of acanthosis, vacuolization of the malpighian ce...
متن کاملNatural and sun-induced aging of human skin.
With worldwide expansion of the aging population, research on age-related pathologies is receiving growing interest. In this review, we discuss current knowledge regarding the decline of skin structure and function induced by the passage of time (chronological aging) and chronic exposure to solar UV irradiation (photoaging). Nearly every aspect of skin biology is affected by aging. The self-ren...
