The pharmacokinetic aspects of bath-PUVA are not completely clarified. Therefore, we determined the phototoxic response of human skin following psoralen baths at temperatures ranging from 32 degrees C to 42 degrees C (71.6-107.6 degrees F) and UVA doses ranging from 0.5 to 5.5 J/cm2. The highest therapeutical photosensitization (i.e., lowest minimal phototoxic dose) was assessed at temperatures of 37 degrees C (98.6 degrees F) and above. Photosensitization was significantly decreased at lower temperatures. These data indicate that a bath temperature of 37 degrees C (98.6 degrees F) should be used to gain optimal therapeutic efficiency in a clinical setting. Furthermore, in order to minimize the risk of adverse phototoxic effects in bath-PUVA, it is important to use a constant temperature during the psoralen bath.
水浴补骨脂素光化学疗法(bath-PUVA)的药代动力学方面尚未完全阐明。因此,我们测定了在32摄氏度至42摄氏度(71.6 - 107.6华氏度)的温度范围内进行补骨脂素浴后,以及在0.5至5.5 J/cm²的紫外线A(UVA)剂量下人体皮肤的光毒性反应。在37摄氏度(98.6华氏度)及以上的温度下评估出最高的治疗性光敏作用(即最低的最小光毒性剂量)。在较低温度下,光敏作用显著降低。这些数据表明,在临床环境中应使用37摄氏度(98.6华氏度)的水浴温度以获得最佳治疗效果。此外,为了将水浴补骨脂素光化学疗法中不良光毒性作用的风险降至最低,在补骨脂素浴期间保持恒定温度很重要。
