Filter by:The objective of this single center, 4-week, open label randomized, phase II study is to evaluate and characterize the tolerability and clinical effectiveness of dexamethasone 0.5mg/5ml solution in a mucoadhesive vehicle (Mucolox™) for the treatment of oral lichen planus.
60 individuals were subdivided into 2 groups, 30 patients with oral lichen planus, 30 control individuals. Expression of miRNA-138 and cyclin D1 were evaluated in oral mucosa utilizing Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry.
Lichen planus is a chronic cutaneous and mucosal disease characterized by the infiltration of cluster of differentiation (CD) CD8 T lymphocytes, localized under the basal membrane and associated with apoptosis of basal keratinocytes, suggesting a reactivity of T lymphocytes toward keratinocyte antigen(s), so far unidentified. In a recent study, the research team at Institut Pasteur has demonstrated in a peculiar clinical form of lichen planus (erosive lichen planus), that the immunogenic target of CD8 T lymphocytes could be the immunodominant peptide of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) 16. In line with this recent work which shows for the first time a link between HPV-16 and an autoimmune disease, erosive lichen planus, the aim of te study is to test the hypothesis that HPV could be also involved in the pathogenesis of other clinical forms of lichen, such as non erosive lichen planus or lichen sclerosus.
This clinical study is carried out to assess the efficacy of Tacrolimus and Clobetasol in symptomatic Oral Lichen Planus.
The objective of the study was to determine sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy of "Three Rings Vulvoscopy" for detection of vulvar dermatosis using histopathology as the reference standard.
Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a common sub-acute, chronic inflammatory mucocutaneous disease.This study was evaluated the comparative efficacy of lycopene and prednisolone for the treatment of oral lichen planus. Half of participants (total number of participants was twenty eight) were received lycopene and the other half were received prednisolone.
Introduction :Oral lichen planus (OLP) is one of the most common disorders of the oral cavity which is basically a chronic and inflammated mucocutaneous .There is no cure for OLP currently. The main focus of treatment is to reduce the duration and severity of the symptoms. This study was designed to determine and compare the parameters of improvement in patient symptoms and lesions caused by oral lichen planus by using triamcinolone acetonide mucoadhesive film and licorice mucoadhesive film. Methods and materials :The study was randomized by double-blind clinical trial . Patients with symptomatic OLP who referred to the Oral Medicine School of Dentistryin Medical Sciences in Isfahan University participated voluntarily. The patients were divided into two groups that were including 30 samples in each group. The first group was treated with triamcinolone mucoadhesive film and the second group were treated with licorice mucoadhesive film. Data were analyzed by using the Mann-Whitney test and t-test in SPSS software.
Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic disease characterized by periods of remission and relapse. Therapeutic objectives for OLP should be to quickly reduce disease symptoms by targeting pathophysiological pathways, and to provide long-term management by reducing recurrences. Pimecrolimus is a novel topical selective inflammatory cytokine release inhibitor; considering its mechanism of action it is reasonable to theorize that pimecrolimus may effectively treat OLP without the potential side effects that are associated with corticosteroids.
Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory mucocutaneous disease characterized by outbreaks or flares. It affects 0.2-1.9% of the population. Although the etiology is unknown, the pathogenesis of OLP is known to involve an immune disorder, with epithelial damage caused by cytotoxic CD8 + lymphocytes. Clinically, the disease is characterized by different types of lesions - papular, reticular and in the form of plaques - that can alternate with erosive and/or ulcerative areas. A variety of treatments have been proposed for OLP: topical or systemic corticosteroids, cyclosporine, retinoids, azathioprine, tacrolimus, pimecrolimus, photochemotherapy and surgery. Patients with symptomatic OLP often require intensive therapy to reduce the signs and symptoms. The disease can produce considerable morbidity and alter patient quality of life, particularly in the presence of ulcerative lesions. There is no fully resolutive and effective treatment - the management strategy focusing on the use of drugs that counter tissue inflammation and the underlying immunological mechanisms. The main inconvenience of these treatments is represented by the side effects they usually produce.
The study included forty individuals divided into 3 groups. 10 control subjects, 15 oral lichen planus (OLP) patients who were treated with topical corticosteroids and 15 oral lichen planus (OLP) patients who were treated with topical corticosteroids and green tea tablets.
