We previously reported the skin elastic properties of normal subjects as measured by a newly developed suction device (6). In the present report, we examined the skin elastic properties of 62 patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc), clinically diagnosed as limited or diffuse type. We measured the skin elastic properties on the forearm and chest and investigated correlations with disease type and clinical skin score. Patients with the diffuse type SSc showed significantly lower values than those with the limited type SSc or normal subjects in distention and retraction ability at the chest and forearm. This suction device is clinically useful for the objective evaluation of skin elastic properties in diffuse systemic sclerosis.
我们之前报道过通过一种新开发的吸引装置测量的正常受试者的皮肤弹性特性(6)。在本报告中，我们检查了62例临床诊断为局限性或弥漫性类型的系统性硬化症(SSc)患者的皮肤弹性特性。我们测量了前臂和胸部的皮肤弹性特性，并研究了其与疾病类型和临床皮肤评分的相关性。弥漫性SSc患者在胸部和前臂的扩张和回缩能力方面的值显著低于局限性SSc患者或正常受试者。这种吸引装置在临床上可用于客观评估弥漫性系统性硬化症患者的皮肤弹性特性。
