ETIOLOGY AND PATHOGENESIS |  | 
| 
What is the relationship of perforating
  folliculitis, APD, & KD?  | 
They are in a disease spectrum or
  different stages in lesional development(folliculitis→APD→KD ). | 
| 
What might be the primary disorder of
  perforating folliculitis?  | 
Infectious folliculitis, such as
  Pityrosporum folliculitis. | 
| 
What is the most important mechanism of
  APD?  | 
Pruritus → manipulation/trauma | 
| 
What is the role of DM in the mechanism
  of APD? (3) | 
1.         
  DM→advanced glycation end
  product →vasculopathy/angiopathy 
2.         
  DM→advanced glycation end
  product–modified collagens I & III binds CD36→ keratinocyte terminal
  differentiation & upward movement of keratinocytes along with glycated
  collagen 
3.         
  DM→↑Fibronectin→keratinocytes
  acts with collagen IV | 
| 
What are the other mechanisms of
  APD?   | 
1.         
  Dialysis→dermal microdeposition
  (calcium salts, silicon) 
2.         
  Vitamin A deficiency. 
3.         
  Uremia→↑fibronectin→keratinocytes
  acts with collagen IV 
4.         
  Imbalances in TGF-β3, MMP-1,
  & tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1(TIMP-1) →disturbance of matrix.
   | 
| 
What is the possible mechanisms of EPS | 
1.         
  ↑elastin receptors(both familial & acquired) 
2.         
  Penicillamine→“bramble
  bush–appearing”  elastic fibers | 
|

| 
HISTOPATHOLOGY |  | 
| 
What are the pathological features of
  APD?  |

  giant cells | 
| 
What is the pathological difference
  between APDs?   |

APD 可以治療嘛?
ReplyDelete可以,最後一段MANAGEMENT就是治療。
ReplyDelete您好,首先謝謝你的回應。
ReplyDelete其實我是香港人居於香港,過去二十多年都服這個皮膚病所困擾,於香港都嘗試經不同醫生作冶療,但效果不理想,什至數年前醫生們經過討論亦說不能完全痊癒,只能作控制。
而近日於網上翻查下,發現閣下之文章,得悉台灣在這方面的治療效果是不錯,故 很希望日後能抽空到台灣作治療,其實這治療過程是否漫長和複雜?
十分感謝您的回應。
穿透性皮膚病如果涉及一些內科疾病就會比較難治療,有些治療項目例如紫外光(NBUVB)也需要每周二到三次,連續使用一段時間。畢竟醫療有很重的屬地主義,臺灣與香港雖然距離不遠,終究還是要搭飛機往返。過去我幫香港朋友治療這類慢性疾病的方式比較像是提供治療方向,輔導他在香港當地找到合法可行的治療方法,或是首次看診後,之後由臺灣的親友代理領藥。
Delete希望能幫助到閣下。
Dr. Cheng,
Delete萬分感謝你能抽空回應,待疫情過後,我會來台灣一趟,向你就醫。
感謝感謝

ReplyDeleteA person can use different Natural Remedies for Granuloma Annulare to obtain help from this problem. main organ of the body, the skin is susceptible to a quantity of different condition and matters. One such condition is granuloma annulare. Natural Treatment for Granuloma Annulare holds similarly external and internal applications, related to apple cider vinegar.
ReplyDeleteAlthough therapy has become more tolerable and once daily FDC tables have made it easier to adhere to prescribed treatment, it still requires that patients take their medication regularly to achieve sustained viral suppression. When treatment adherence is inadequate and replication is therefore not suppressed, But dr itua promised and fulfilled his promised to me as he said I will share his work to people that are suffering from Infertility, Herpes,Cervical Cancer,Bone Cancer,Brain Cancer,Prostate Cancer,Leukemia,Brain Tumor,Breast Cancer,Blood Cancer,Kidney Cancer,, Hepatitis A/B, Fibroid, HIV/ Aids, Alzheimer's disease, Arthritis, Copd, Diabetes, Liver/Kidney Inflamotry,Glaucoma., Cataracts,Macular degeneration,Cardiovascular disease,Lung disease.Enlarged prostate,Osteoporosis.Alzheimer's disease,HPV,
ReplyDeleteDementia. Fibromyalgia, Parkinson's disease, I have read a lot of testimony online from Jesus McKinney,Achima Abelard and Tara Omar on how dr itua heal them with his herbal medicine I contacted him on Email drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com. then we talk on whatsapp +2348149277967 he gave me instruction on how to drink it for two weeks then after drinking it for two weeks I went for test then I find out I was cured of HIV & HPV, I thank him allot i also send him some money for appreciation, Contact this great herbal doctor if you are a sick person.
