: C-reactive protein is an inflammatory biomarker and its level increases in the serum of psoriatic patients. Its level is also associated with Psoriasis Area and Severity Index score.
: The aim of this study was to assess the decrement of serum C-reactive protein level with narrow-band ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) therapy.
: C-reactive protein serum levels in psoriasis patients were measured before and after treatment with NB-UVB and the data were analyzed in relation to the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index score improvement.
: Baseline C-reactive protein levels among psoriatic patients were higher than normal. These levels decreased significantly after treatment (P<0.001). At the beginning of the study, patients with higher levels of C-reactive protein also had more extensive and severe skin involvement. The highest decrease in C-reactive protein was observed in patients who responded better to the treatment and achieved a higher Psoriasis Area and Severity Index 75%. There was an association between baseline Psoriasis Area and Severity Index scores and C-reactive protein levels.
: Patients with moderate to severe plaque-type psoriasis had active systemic inflammation, which was demonstrated by increased levels of C-reactive protein. Furthermore, skin disease severity was correlated with C-reactive protein levels. Phototherapy healed the psoriatic skin lesions and reduced inflammation, while decreasing C-reactive protein levels.
C反应蛋白是一种炎症生物标志物,其水平在银屑病患者血清中升高。其水平还与银屑病面积和严重程度指数评分相关。
本研究旨在评估窄谱中波紫外线(NB-UVB)治疗后血清C反应蛋白水平的下降情况。
测量银屑病患者接受NB-UVB治疗前后的血清C反应蛋白水平,并结合银屑病面积和严重程度指数评分的改善情况对数据进行分析。
银屑病患者的基线C反应蛋白水平高于正常水平。治疗后这些水平显著下降(P<0.001)。在研究开始时,C反应蛋白水平较高的患者皮肤受累也更广泛、更严重。在对治疗反应较好且银屑病面积和严重程度指数达到75%以上的患者中,观察到C反应蛋白下降幅度最大。基线银屑病面积和严重程度指数评分与C反应蛋白水平之间存在关联。
中度至重度斑块型银屑病患者存在活跃的全身炎症,这通过C反应蛋白水平升高得以证明。此外,皮肤病严重程度与C反应蛋白水平相关。光疗治愈了银屑病皮肤病变并减轻了炎症,同时降低了C反应蛋白水平。
