For
years, scientists have been telling us that a diet rich in whole
grains, fruits, and vegetables is the key to long-lasting health. If
you need even further motivation to start filling your meals with these
wholesome foods, however, this may be it: The same foods that are great
for your internal health can also do wonders for you skin. Vibrant,
fresh, youthful-looking skin can be yours by eating certain kinds of
unprocessed, nutrient-packed foods.
With
so much emphasis being placed on cutting calories and dieting, it’s
easy to miss out on nutrients that are important to the health of our
skin. Fortunately, the foods that are good for your skin are also good
for your waistline. And unlike diets that go in and out of style as
rapidly as the latest fashion trends, the anti-age “diet” is not really
a diet at all. Rather, it is a simple shift in the way you look at what
you eat.
What Causes Skin to Age?
First,
let’s take a look at the factors that cause our skin to age. The main
enemies of youthful, vibrant skin are highly processed foods and
exposure to harmful UV rays, which can lead to dryness, premature
aging, wrinkles, clogged pores acne, and inflammation. Eating fried and
processed foods can cause damage to skin cells while exposure to
ultraviolet light from the sun instigates a process called oxidation,
which is also very damaging to the skin. That’s why antioxidants, which
destroy free radicals and repair cellular damage, are so good for your
skin.
Fortunately, there
are foods that slow down the aging process by preventing inflammation,
protecting against oxidation damage from the sun, and promoting
turnover of healthy skin cells. Please come and discuss your concerns

Stretch Marks
Between
75 and 90% of women develop stretch marks to some degree during
pregnancy. The sustained hormonal levels as a result of pregnancy
usually means stretch marks may appear during the sixth or seventh
month.
Many people believe that using
oils or creams in high-risk areas (e.g. breasts, hips, abdomen, thighs)
may help prepare the skin for stretching by giving the skin more
flexibility.
Though cocoa butter is an
effective moisturizer, no research studies have shown its ability to
either prevent stretchmarks, or improve their appearance once a stretch
mark has already formed.
Various
treatments are available for the purpose of improving the appearance of
existing stretch marks, including laser treatments, chemical
peels, dermabrasion, and prescription retinoids. Few published studies
exist for over-the-counter remedies, but two ingredients have shown
early promise in clinical research-- darutoside and registril [Sederma
Labs. Used daily for one month, they
resulted in significant improvement in the appearance of a stretch
mark's length, depth, and irregular surface area. One available product
that contains both darutoside and registril is Stretchmark Minimizing
Cream, from Belli Cosmetics.Some cream manufacturers claim the best
results are achieved on recent stretch marks; however, few studies
exist to support these claims.
A recent
study in the journal "Dermatologic Surgery" has shown that
radiofrequency combined with 585-nm pulsed dye laser treatment gave
"good and very good" subjective improvement in stretch marks in 89.2%
of 37 patients, although further studies will be required to follow up
on these results. In addition, the use of a pulsed dye laser has shown
to increase pigmentation in darker skinned individuals with repeated
treatments.
A surgical procedure for
removing lower abdominal stretch marks is the tummy tuck, which removes
the skin below the navel where stretch marks frequently occur .But the
tummy tuck can leave you with hypertrophic scars which could be
flattened with intralesional steroid injections.
A
new modality, fractional laser resurfacing, offers a novel approach to
treating striae. Using scattered pulses of light only a fraction of the
scar is zapped by the laser over the course of several treatments. This
creates microscopic wounds and as such is a "no downtime" procedure.
The body responds to each treatment by producing new collagen and
epithelium. In a 2007 clinical trial, 5-6 treatments has resulted in
striae improving by as much as 75 percent.I f you have any questions
please contact the Doctor at NYC Dermatology by Board Certified
Dermatologist Dr. Gary Rothfeld.

Research Institute, Inc., has just been issued a patent for their
bioabsorbable scaffolds. These scaffolds are used in hair cloning
procedures to ensure that the cultured cells are kept in place in order
for a new hair follicle to be formed.
The
patent, number 7,198,641, which was initially filed on August 7, 2001
and has subsequently been revised, was finally issued on April 3, 2007.
According to the patient, the
“bioabsorbable scaffolds are useful for the tissue engineering of new
hair follicles and to methods for their manufacture and to methods of
their use in creating new hair. More specifically it relates to new and
useful bioabsorbable porous structures that have the correct
architecture to facilitate culturing of the appropriate follicle
progenitor cells and their development into normal, functional,
hair-producing follicles. The invention also relates to methods of
making and using bioabsorbable scaffolds to implant and grow new hair
follicles in vitro and in vivo.”
These
tiny scaffolds are essentially the key to being able to grow new hair
follicles because without them the cells cannot be held together after
being injected into the scalp. New hair follicles get created in a
specific process that results from the interaction between different
cells. If these cells cannot be held together in the same place by
some mechanism, then they will simply disperse from the point of
injection and no new hair follicle will be formed.
The process for using the scaffolds to grow new hair follicles goes something like this:
Intercytex recently released their annual report which includes details of their hair cloning technique dubbed ICX-TRC.
The Phase
II trial of ICX-TRC, their cell therapy product for hair regeneration
in male-pattern baldness, began in September 2006. The process
involves taking a biopsy from the subject, separating out the relevant
cells, and growing them in their facility using a proprietary process.
All
biopsies from the first group of 9 patients have been taken and most of
these patients have been treated. Further groups will follow to
investigate variations in the delivery technique. Intercytex expect
to report preliminary data from this trial around the middle of 2007.
In
the Phase I trial, which had 7 subjects, there were no safety issues
and 5 out of the 7 patients had an increased number of hairs after
treatment. The Phase II trials have 10 patients per group and is
ongoing. It is an efficacy trial designed to look for new hair growth.
Intercytex has also received a £1.8m grant from the British government to assist in the commercialization of their process.

Newswise
— A newly discovered small molecule called IQ-1 plays a key role in
preventing embryonic stem cells from differentiating into one or more
specific cell types, allowing them to instead continue growing and
dividing indefinitely, according to research performed by a team of
scientists who have recently joined the stem-cell research efforts at
the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California.
Their findings are being published today in an early online edition of
the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
This
discovery takes scientists another step closer to being able to grow
embryonic stem cells without the “feeder layer” of mouse fibroblast
cells that is essential for maintaining the pluripotency of embryonic
stem cells, says the study’s primary investigator, Michael Kahn, Ph.D.,
who was recently named the first Provost’s Professor of Medicine and
Pharmacy at USC. Such a layer is needed because it is currently the
only proven method to provide the stem cells with the necessary
chemical signals that prompt them to stay undifferentiated and to
continue dividing over and over.
Still,
growing human embryonic stem cells on a layer of mouse fibroblasts has
never made much sense to the scientists forced to do just that. “Stem
cells that grow on feeders are contaminated with mouse glycoproteins
markers,” Kahn says.
“If you use them into humans, you’d potentially have a horrible immune response.”

Researchers
in Japan have just published a study where they succeeded in culturing
dermal papilla cells for more than 30 passages (generations).
Usually
when cells are cultured they lose their properties after only a few
passages rendering them useless. Therefore being able to culture cells
for more than 30 passages means that the amount of cells you can clone
from a single source is significantly greater.
They
were also able to induce the formation of new hair follicles by
injecting these cells together with epidermal cells into mice.
Based on their study they concluded that fibroblast growth factor-2 is essential for the culturing of dermal papilla cells.
Long-Term Culture of Mouse Vibrissal Dermal Papilla Cells and De Novo Hair Follicle Induction
Tissue Eng. 2007 Mar 6
Osada A, Iwabuchi T, Kishimoto J, Hamazaki TS, Okochi H.
Department of Tissue Regeneration, Research Institute, International Medical Center of Japan, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, Japan.
We
have succeeded in culturing dermal papilla (DP) cells long term and
developed new techniques that enhance their hair follicle-inducing
efficiency in a patch assay.
The
outgrowing DP cells from mouse vibrissae were markedly stimulated by
10% fetal bovine serum-Dulbecco’s modified essential medium that
included fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2). Moreover, the potency of
proliferation was maintained during serial cultivations (more than 30
passages).
We combined these established
DP cells with epidermal cells and implanted them subcutaneously into
athymic mice to examine their hair follicle-inducing ability.
New
hair follicles were induced by dissociated DP cells at earlier passages
(under passage 4), but the cells from later passages could not induce
follicles. We next aggregated the DP cells to form spheres and then
injected them with epidermal cells. Unlike the dissociated DP cells,
the spheres made from the later passaged cells (more than 10 passages)
did induce new hair follicles.
We
examined several genes specific for DP of anagen follicles and
confirmed that their expression level was elevated in the spheres
compared with their expression level in adherent DP cells.
These
results suggest that FGF-2 is essential for dermal papilla cell culture
and that sphere formation partially models the intact DP, resulting in
hair follicle induction, even by later passaged cells.
According
to an article in the Italian newspaper “La Corriere Della Sera”, two
Italian plastic surgeons have created a process to create several hair
follicles from one single hair follicle.
The
surgeons, Prof. Pierluigi Santi and his colleague Prof. Edoardo
Rapposio, claim that in about 12 days they can create ten to fifteen
new growing hairs from one single hair follicle.
This
technique has been attempted before where surgeons have taken a hair
follicle and sliced it into two halves and both halves of the follicles
have been able to successfully grow a new hair. However there have
been problems with consistency with this type of procedure and it’s
never been successfully marketed before.
In
the latest attempt at this primitive form of hair cloning, the parts of
the dissected hair follicle are soaked in a cell culture medium before
being re-implanted into the scalp. It will be interesting to see what
type of success this method yields. While it’s not hair cloning in
its truest sense, if successful it could create hope for men who have
very little hair for a conventional hair transplant.
The
doctors plan on getting their procedure ISO certified and will be
opening a clinic dedicated to performing this procedure in early
2008. Initially the treatment will be offered to burn victims like
firefighters and later on it will be open to everyone else.

Many
older people suffer from dry skin, particularly on their lower legs,
elbows, and forearms. The skin feels rough and scaly and often is
accompanied by a distressing, intense itchiness. Low humidity — caused
by overheating during the winter and air conditioning during the summer
— contributes to dryness and itching. The loss of sweat and oil glands
as you age also may worsen dry skin. Anything that further dries your
skin — such as overuse of soaps, antiperspirants, perfumes, or hot
baths — will make the problem worse. Dehydration, sun exposure,
smoking, and stress also may cause dry skin.
Dry
skin itches because it is irritated easily. If your skin is very dry
and itchy, see a doctor. Dry skin and itching can affect your sleep,
cause irritability, or be a symptom of a disease. For example, diabetes
and kidney disease can cause itching. Some medicines make the itchiness
worse.
The most common treatment for dry
skin is the use of moisturizers to reduce water loss and soothe the
skin. Moisturizers come in several forms — ointments, creams, and
lotions. Ointments are mixtures of water in oil, usually either lanolin or petrolatum. Creams
are preparations of oil in water, which is the main ingredient. Creams
must be applied more often than ointments to be most effective. Lotions
contain powder crystals dissolved in water, again the main ingredient.
Because of their high water content, they feel cool on the skin and
don’t leave the skin feeling greasy. Although they are easy to apply
and may be more pleasing than ointments and creams, lotions don’t have
the same protective qualities. You may need to apply them frequently to
relieve the signs and symptoms of dryness. Moisturizers should be used
indefinitely to prevent recurrence of dry skin.A humidifier can add
moisture to the air. Bathing less often and using milder soaps also can
help relieve dry skin. Warm water is less irritating to dry skin than
hot water. If a patient has this type of problem they should be
evaluated by a Board Certfied Dermatologist to make sure they are
getting the proper therapy and also if it is not associated with
something more serious. Please enjoy our new updated medical
dictionary. If you have any questions please contact us at our NYC

The procedure involves cutting the stomach in two to create a pouch out
of the smaller proximal (near) portion of the stomach, attaching it to
the small intestine, bypassing a large part of the stomach and all of
the duodenum. The procedure may help with weight loss because the
stomach pouch is too small to hold much food and skipping the duodenum
reduces the absorption of fat which is rich in calories. The procedure
may be done by laparoscopy. Also called a Roux-en-Y anastomosis or Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy. http://www.apple.com/education/profiles/columbia/index2.html
