概括
治疗白风的口服迷你脉冲普雷迪尼索隆 (OMP) 并没有抑制下丘脑-垂体-上腺 (HPA) 轴. 这种安全的治疗选择可能需要组合治疗以获得最佳的再颜色化.
科学领域:
- 皮肤病学 皮肤病学
- 内分泌学 在内分泌学.
- 药理学 药理学是指药理学的学科.
背景情况:
- Vitiligo 治疗具有挑战性,通常需要长时间的治疗.
- 外源性葡萄糖皮质类药物可以导致下丘脑-垂体-上腺 (HPA) 轴的抑制.
- 口服迷你脉冲普雷迪尼索隆 (OMP) 为每日类固醇管理提供了更安全的替代方案,但其HPA轴效应需要进一步调查.
研究的目的:
- 为了评估口服微脉冲普雷迪尼索隆 (OMP) 对不稳定白病患者的HPA轴抑制的影响.
- 评估OMP在白风治疗中的安全性和有效性.
- 调查OMP治疗后类固醇逐渐减少的潜在指导方针.
主要方法:
- 一项观察前试点研究对30名年龄在20-50岁的不稳定白风患者进行了观察.
- 患者接受了OMP,并且在基线,一周和治疗结束时测量了血清皮质醇水平.
- 排除标准包括最近的全身性皮质类固醇使用,长时间的局部类固醇治疗或其他免疫抑制治疗.
主要成果:
- 血清皮质醇水平在OMP治疗期间没有显著抑制.
- 在整个研究期间,ACTH刺激的皮质醇水平保持稳定.
- 73.3%的患者在平均4.41个月内实现了白风的稳定;13.3%的患者在六个月内没有实现稳定.
结论:
- 当OMP每周服用一次时,似乎不会抑制HPA轴.
- 单一的OMP治疗对再发色的疗效有限,最好与局部类固醇或光疗结合使用.
- 脉冲治疗中的普雷尼索隆显示出良好的安全性,没有显著的全身或皮肤副作用.

83
Glucocorticoids, a class of anti-inflammatory drugs, are pivotal in treating moderate to severe Crohn's disease by inducing remission. They exhibit their anti-inflammatory action by inhibiting the production of inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1, and chemokines like IL-8. In addition, they reduce the expression of inflammatory cell adhesion molecules and inhibit gene transcription of nitric oxide synthase, phospholipase A2, cyclooxygenase-2...

Adrenal gland disorders manifest when the production of adrenal hormones deviates from the norm, resulting in either excessive or insufficient concentrations.
Adrenal insufficiency, characterized by insufficient cortisol and aldosterone production, leads to conditions like Addison's disease. This disorder, affecting the adrenal cortex, exhibits symptoms such as skin bronzing, dehydration, low blood pressure, fatigue, and weight loss. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia, a genetic ailment causing...

58.2K
The response to stress—be it physical or psychological, acute or chronic—involves activation of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis. The HPA axis is part of the neuroendocrine system because it involves both neuronal and hormonal communication. Its function is to regulate homeostatic systems—metabolic, cardiovascular, and immune—providing the necessary means to respond to a stressor.

Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are anti-inflammatory drugs used primarily in treating persistent asthma and providing long-term maintenance. They target the bronchial mucosa, the lining of the airways, to control inflammation, a critical factor in asthma progression and exacerbation.
ICS work through a multifaceted mechanism of action. They suppress the inflammatory response caused by the proliferation of TH cells. They also reduce the transcription of the IL-2 gene, which is involved in the...

Adrenal hormones play a pivotal role in maintaining the body's electrolyte balance and orchestrating responses to stress, showcasing the intricate functions of the adrenal cortex and medulla.
The adrenal cortex, a powerhouse of hormone synthesis, generates over two dozen corticosteroid hormones. The zona glomerulosa produces mineralocorticoids, exemplified by aldosterone, influencing the electrolyte composition of body fluids. The synthesis of glucocorticoids such as cortisol and...

Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disorder marked by chronic inflammation of the GI tract. Various treatment strategies for Crohn's disease are employed, such as immunomodulatory agents, glucocorticoids, and biologics or anti-TNF therapy. Azathioprine (Imuran), a commonly used immunomodulatory drug for Crohn's disease, is converted in the body to mercaptopurine, which inhibits purine biosynthesis and cell proliferation. Both are utilized in severe cases of Inflammatory Bowel...
