Bath-PUVA is used to treat a variety of dermatoses. However, the kinetics of 8-methoxypsoralen during treatment are not completely clarified.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the intensity of the phototoxic response and the persistence of phototoxicity after bath-PUVA.
Twelve volunteers were exposed to UVA doses ranging from 0.5 to 40 J/cm2 from 10 to 240 minutes after bath-PUVA treatment. The resulting phototoxic response of the skin was determined.
Irradiation 10 minutes after the psoralen bath led to the lowest assessed minimal phototoxic dose (MPD) of 1.42 J/cm2 (mean, SD +/- 0.29). Thereafter, the MPD increased significantly and sharply every hour. At 4 hours after the psoralen bath, UVA doses up to 40 J/cm2 failed to induce any phototoxic erythema (MPD).
For optimal effects, UVA irradiation has to be administered immediately after the psoralen bath; no restrictive behavior is necessary after bath-PUVA treatment.
浴用补骨脂素联合紫外线A(Bath-PUVA)用于治疗多种皮肤病。然而,治疗期间8-甲氧基补骨脂素的动力学尚未完全阐明。
本研究的目的是调查浴用补骨脂素联合紫外线A治疗后光毒性反应的强度和光毒性的持续时间。
12名志愿者在浴用补骨脂素联合紫外线A治疗后10至240分钟接受0.5至40 J/cm²的紫外线A照射剂量。测定皮肤由此产生的光毒性反应。
补骨脂素浴后10分钟照射导致评估的最低最小光毒性剂量(MPD)为1.42 J/cm²(平均值,标准差±0.29)。此后,MPD每小时显著且急剧增加。在补骨脂素浴后4小时,高达40 J/cm²的紫外线A剂量未能诱导任何光毒性红斑(MPD)。
为获得最佳效果,紫外线A照射必须在补骨脂素浴后立即进行;浴用补骨脂素联合紫外线A治疗后无需采取限制性行为。
