Background The aim of this study was to assess the predictive validity of the Patient
and Observer Assessment Scale (POSAS), in order to determine whether it can be
used to predict final scar quality. Methods Patients with a maximum TBSA burned of
20% who were treated in a Dutch burn center and participated in two scar
assessments at 3 months and >18 months post-burn were included. Scar quality
assessment consisted of the POSAS, Dermaspectrometer (color) and Cutometer
(elasticity). Predictive validity was determined in three ways: (1) the discriminative
ability to distinguish good from reduced long term scar quality, (2) correlations
between POSAS items score at the two subsequent assessments and (3) linear
regression was conducted to identify POSAS items as independent predictors.
Additionally, reliability, construct validity and interpretability were assessed. Results
A total of 141 patients were included with a mean TBSA burned of 5.2% (+/-4.5). The
ability of the Patient scale to discriminate between good and reduced long term scar
quality was adequate with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.728 (CI 0.640-0.804),
the ability of the Observer scale was good with an AUC of 0.854 (CI 0.781-0.911).
Correlations between items scored T3 and T > 18 were at least adequate. On item
level, pain and stiffness (Patient) and pliability and relief (Observer) were identified as
significant predictors for reduced long term scar quality. The POSAS was reliable,
construct validity was adequate at three months but declined at?>18 months.
Conclusion This study found that final scar quality can be adequately predicted by an
early POSAS assessment at three months.

The identification of appropriate skin tear prevention guidelines for the elderly
requires clinicians to focus on local risk factors such as structural alterations of the
epidermis and dermis related to skin tears. The aim of this cross-sectional study is to
explore the prevalence of skin tears and to explore skin properties related to skin
tears in elderly Japanese patients at a long-term medical facility. After doing the
prevalence study, 18 participants with skin tears and 18 without were recruited and
an evaluation of their skin properties using 20-MHz ultrasonography, skin blotting and
also Corneometer CM-825, Skin-pH-meterPH905, VapoMeter, Moisture Meter-D and
CutometerMPA580 was undertaken. A total of 410 patients were examined, the
median age was 87years and 73.2% were women. The prevalence of skin tears was
3.9%, and 50% of skin tears occurred on the dorsal forearm. The changes in skin
properties associated with skin tears included increased low-echogenic pixels (LEP)
by 20-MHz ultrasonography, decreased type IV collagen and matrix
metalloproteinase-2, and increased tumour necrosis factor-alpha by skin blotting. In
conclusion, this study suggests that increased dermal LEP, including solar elastosis,
may represent a risk factor for skin tears; this indicates that skin tear risk factors
might not only represent chronological ageing but also photoageing.

Non-invasive objective devices for monitoring the inflammatory, proliferative and

remodelling phases of cutaneous wound healing and skin scarring.

Experimental Dermatology. 25 (8) (pp 579-585), 2016. Date of Publication: 01 Aug

AN: 611413208
Objective evaluation of cutaneous wounds through the use of non-invasive devices is
important for diagnosis, monitoring treatment response and can lead to the
development of improved theranostic strategies. The need for objective monitoring of
wound healing and scar formation is evident as this enables accurate diagnosis,
evaluation and prognosis for clinicians and allows for the standardisation and
validation of methodology for researchers. Therefore, this review provides an
overview of the current application of non-invasive objective technologies for the
assessment of wound healing through the different phases of repair. We propose that
Page 6
cutaneous healing parameters can be split into three core domains: anatomical,
mechanical and physiological. These categories can be further subdivided with
respect to specific phases of healing. There is no single instrument, which can
measure all the parameters of healing simultaneously; thus, it is important to choose
the correct device for the particular healing characteristics being monitored.
However, multiprobe systems, which include a number of devices connected to one
main unit, are useful as they enable multiple measurements of different parameters.
Many of the devices have not been validated against histological examination.
Additionally, some of the instruments have not been evaluated in all wound or scar
types and may not be useful throughout all phases of cutaneous wound healing. In
conclusion, non-invasive objective devices are useful in the assessment of cutaneous
wound healing, as these tools can link the treatment and diagnosis by evaluating
response to treatment and thus could aid as a marker for healing and scar
maturation.

Background: The clinical use of non-invasive instrumentation to evaluate skin
characteristics for diagnostic purposes and to evaluate treatment outcomes has
become more prevalent. The purpose of this study was to generate normative data
for skin elasticity, erythema (vascularity), melanin (pigmentation), and thickness
across a broad age range at a wide variety of anatomical locations using the
Cutometer (6 mm probe), Mexameter, and high-frequency ultrasound in a healthy
adult sample. Methods: We measured skin characteristics of 241 healthy participants
who were stratified according to age and gender. Sixteen different anatomical
locations were measured using the Cutometer for maximum skin deformation, gross
elasticity, and biological elasticity, the Mexameter for erythema and melanin, and
high-frequency ultrasound for skin thickness. Standardized measurement procedures
were applied for all participants. Results: The means and standard deviations for each
measured skin characteristic for females and males across five different age groups
(20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70-85 years old) are presented. As previously
described, there were variations in skin characteristics across age groups, anatomical
locations, and between females and males highlighting the need to use site specific,
age and gender matched data when comparing skin characteristics. Conclusion: The
reported data provides normative data stratified by anatomical location, age, and
gender that can be used by clinicians and researchers to objectively determine
whether patients' skin characteristics vary significantly from healthy subjects.

A sixteen-week monadic clinical study evaluating the effects of a skin care product on
the appearance and condition of mature skin.
Summers J., Grob D., Rice M., Schwartz S., Frumento R., Hodge L., Sondgeroth J.
Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology. Conference: 74th Annual Meeting
of the American Academy of Dermatology. Washington, DC United States. Conference
Publication: (var.pagings). 74 (5 SUPPL. 1) (pp AB25), 2016. Date of Publication: May

[Conference Abstract]
AN: 72275125
Background: Thin, fragile skin is a common condition in older adults. The condition
can lead to a number of problems, from an aged appearance and a loss of firmness
and elastosis, to tearing and fragility that leads to bruising easily. Mechanistically,
collagen and elastin production slows down as we age, making skin drier, less pliable;
therefore, more prone to wrinkling and scaling. Thus, many older adults become
displeased at the appearance of their skin. Several topical consumer products are
available that claim to improve this process; however, published data is limited.
Methods: This was a sixteen week study evaluating the arms, legs, hands and
decolletage in people over the age of 45 (45-70 yrs). Specific evaluations included
the appearance of skin crepiness, transparency, plumpness, texture/smoothness,
elasticity and firmness (cutometer and expert grading). Instrumental evaluations
included measurements for skin hydration, barrier function dermal thickness and
collagen content. Assessments included expert clinical grading for efficacy and
safety, instrumental evaluations, image analysis and subjective questionnaires. A one
week washout period preceded the treatment period, in which subjects used
standardized support products for all decolletage, leg, arm and hand cleansing. The
Page 11
study product was used by subjects a minimum of two times a day (morning and
evening and as needed on the treatment regions in place of their normal moisturizer)
for 16 weeks of treatment. Results: Thirty five subjects were enrolled and completed
the study, no serious adverse events were reported and all tolerance evaluations
were negative. Visual grading revealed significant improvements for all parameters
at all-time points, with crepiness improving by 25%, 25% and 21% at week 12 for the
regions arms, decolletage and hands, respectively. Similarly, cutometer
instrumentation (firmness/ elasticity, respectively) revealed significant improvements
at week 12 for the regions of arms (64%/91%), decolletage (58%/46%) and hands
(56%/64%). SIAscopy, used to measure collagen content, revealed a 38%, 46% and
56% increase in skin collagen content in the decolletage, hands and arms,
respectively, after 16 weeks of continued use. Ultrasound (Cortex USA 20 MgHz) was
used to measure skin thickness. All three treatment regions showed significant
improvement in skin thickness by week 16 with an average improvement of 13%.
Conclusion: These data support the use of this product in a mature population to
improve multiple visible and tactile skin attributes over 16 weeks of continuous use.

Background: Thin, fragile skin is a common condition in older adults. The condition
can lead to a number of problems, from an aged appearance and a loss of firmness
and elasticity to tearing and sensitivity that leads to easy bruising. Mechanistically,
collagen and elastin production slows down as we age, making skin drier and less
pliable and skin is therefore more prone to wrinkling and scaling, many older adults
become upset at the appearance of their skin. Several topical consumer products are
available that claim to improve this process, however published data is limited.
Methods: This was a 16-week monadic evaluation of one facial skin treatment serum.
One test product was used with a standardized supporting moisture product on a
panel of forty-eight subjects prequalified as having thin/fragile skin. Instrumental
assessments including Cutometer (MPA 580; Courage+Khazaka, Cologne Germany),
Ultrasound (DermaScan C; Cortex Technology, Hadsund, Denmark), Clarity Image
Analysis (BTBP, San Jose, CA), and SIAscope (MedX; Mississauga, ON, Canada) were
performed at visits on weeks 0, 4, 8, 12, and 16. Data from these assessments were
utilized for analysis of intended product efficacy. Results: Subject demographics are
shown in Table I. The average age of subjects enrolled was 57.62 years. Cutometer
results showed early improvements after 4 weeks of use in firmness and elasticity
(51.55% and 49.47% improvement, respectively), subjects having these
improvements steadily increased throughout the trial. SIAscope collagen data (Table
II) showed significant improvements after 12 and 16 weeks of use. Ultrasound data,
similarly, showed significant improvements in skin thickness after 12 and 16 weeks of
use, echogenicity were numerically improved. Clarity image analysis showed
significant improvements in total lines/ wrinkles, fine line wrinkles, deep line wrinkles,
and the average length and width of wrinkles and in both the crow's feet region and
globally after 16 weeks of product use. Conclusions: Under the conditions employed
in this study, use of this topical facial skin product daily for sixteen weeks led to
measurable improvements in the appearance of facial skin (firmness, elasticity and
Page 13
lines/wrinkles) as well as mechanical properties (skin thickness, collagen) in an aged
population of males and females.

The aim of this study is to identify the US features of skin tumors, especially
morphological and vascular, in order to develop an integrative and differentiating
imaging model for benign and malignant skin tumors. Material and method: Twenty
three patients with solid skin tumors were included in the study. The diagnostic
procedures were clinical examination, dermoscopy, multimodal ultrasonography (US),
using high frequency and conventional US, contact elastography, and i.v. contrast
enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). Results: The US characteristics of the basal cell
carcinomas were: hypoechoic, inhomogeneous masses, with hyperechoic or anechoic
areas, depending on the histological differentiation, increased rigidity, uneven
vascularization at Doppler examination, central or mixed type circulatory model, with
1-2 supply vessels, velocity >2 cm/s, intensely inhomogeneous load of the contrast
agent ( CA) and quick wash out time. The benign tumors were hypoechoic or echoic
masses, with inhomogeneous structure, Doppler signal present only in
dermofibromas, peripheral circulation model, velocities < 2.00 cm/s, a weak and
uneven loading of the CA in the vascular bed, and a slow wash out time. Analysis of
the CA dynamics evidenced a significantly higher value for the wash out time in the
malignant tumors (38.2s+/- 15.15) as compared to the benign ones (54.2s +/- 8.5).
Particularly the tumor thickness examination by HFUS evidences an ultrasound index
that may be considered as a statistically significant predictive factor (p<0.05), highly
sensitive (r =0.97) for the non-invasive assessment of the histological Breslow index.
Elastography did not represent a differentiation examination in the cases studied.
Conclusions: Ultrasound allows a complex, multimodal approach of skin tumors,
which completes clinical and histological examinations, orients the therapeutic
management and may assessthe therapeutic efficacy and the tumoral prognosis.

Skin findings in Williams syndrome.

Kozel B.A., Bayliss S.J., Berk D.R., Waxler J.L., Knutsen R.H., Danback J.R., Pober B.R.
American Journal of Medical Genetics, Part A. 164 (9) (pp 2217-2225), 2014. Date of

Previous examination in a small number of individuals with Williams syndrome (also
referred to as Williams-Beuren syndrome) has shown subtly softer skin and reduced
deposition of elastin, an elastic matrix protein important in tissue recoil. No
quantitative information about skin elasticity in individuals with Williams syndrome is
available; nor has there been a complete report of dermatologic findings in this
population. To fill this knowledge gap, 94 patients with Williams syndrome aged 7-50
years were recruited as part of the skin and vascular elasticity (WS-SAVE) study. They
underwent either a clinical dermatologic assessment by trained dermatologists (2010
WSA family meeting) or measurement of biomechanical properties of the skin with
the DermaLabTM suction cup (2012 WSA family meeting). Clinical assessment
confirmed that soft skin is common in this population (83%), as is premature graying
of the hair (80% of those 20 years or older), while wrinkles (92%), and abnormal
scarring (33%) were detected in larger than expected proportions. Biomechanical
studies detected statistically significant differences in dP (the pressure required to lift
the skin), dT (the time required to raise the skin through a prescribed gradient), VE
(viscoelasticity), and E (Young's modulus) relative to matched controls. The RT
(retraction time) also trended longer but was not significant. The biomechanical
differences noted in these patients did not correlate with the presence of vascular
defects also attributable to elastin insufficiency (vascular stiffness, hypertension, and
arterial stenosis) suggesting the presence of tissue specific modifiers that modulate
the impact of elastin insufficiency in each tissue. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Background: Pentacyclic triterpenoids improve epidermal barrier function and induce
collagen production. Here, their effects on cutaneous aging by means of objective
instrumental measurements were elucidated. Methods: Reconstituted human
epidermis, cultivated keratinocytes and fibroblasts were incubated with Terminalia
arjuna triterpenes (T. arjuna bark extract), and mRNA and protein expression of
various genes was determined using microarray analysis, qRT-PCR and ELISA
techniques. Clinical efficacy of T. arjuna bark extract versus vehicle control cream
was elucidated in 30 patients and transepidermal water loss (TEWL), skin hydration
Page 19
and elasticity were measured. Another 30 female patients in their postmenopausal
phase were treated with a similar regime, and skin sebum content, cutaneous blood
microcirculation and skin density/echogenicity were assessed. Results: Incubation
with T. arjuna triterpenes increased FGF-2, TSP-1, TGF-beta and CTGF expression, and
VEGF secretion in vitro. Elevated lactate dehydrogenase release upon sodium
dodecyl sulphate challenge was reversed by the application of T. arjuna bark extract.
T. arjuna bark extract decreased TEWL, improved skin moisturization, reduced
scaliness and led to significantly improved skin elasticity. Also, increases in blood
microflow and skin sebum content as well as improved skin thickness/echogenicity
were noted on postmenopausal skin, resulting in visible reduction of sagging skin on
the jowls as demonstrated by digital photography. Conclusion:T. arjuna bark extract
appears as an innovative active ingredient that exerts versatile antiaging properties
in vitro and in vivo.

Longitudinal burn scar quantification.

Nedelec B., Correa J.A., De Oliveira A., LaSalle L., Perrault I.

Quantitative studies of the clinical recovery of burn scars are currently lacking.
Previous reports validate the objective, precise, diagnostic capabilities of high-
frequency ultrasound to measure thickness, the Cutometer to measure pliability and
the Mexameter to measure erythema and pigmentation of scars. Thus, we
prospectively quantified clinical characteristics of patient-matched, after burn
hypertrophic scar (HSc), donor site scar (D) and normal skin (N) using these
instruments. One investigator measured 3 sites (HSc, D, N) in 46 burn survivors at 3,
6, and 12 months after-burn. A mixed model regression analysis, adjusting p-values
for multiplicity of testing, was used to compare means among sites and time points.
Participants were 41.2 +/- 13.5 years old, 87% males, predominantly Caucasian, with
an average of 19.5% body surface area burned. HSc thickness decreased significantly
between 3 and 6, 6 and 12, and 3 and 12 months (all p < 0.0001), but remained
thicker than D and N skin (all p < 0.0001). Pliability differed significantly between
HSc, D and N sites at all time points (all p < 0.0001), with HSc and D increasing
between 3 and 12 months (p < 0.05) but not reaching normal. HSc and D sites were
significantly more erythematous than normal skin (p < 0.05) at 3 and 6 months but D
sites approached normal by 12 months. The only time points at which pigmentation
significantly differed were the HSc and D sites at 6 months. Thickness, pliability,
erythema and pigmentation of N skin remained similar over the 12 months. We found
that post-burn HSc thickness, pliability and erythema differed significantly from D and
N skin at 3, 6, and 12 months and does not return to normal by 12 months after-
injury; however, significant improvements towards normal can be expected. Donor
sites are redder than normal skin at 3 and 6 months but can be expected to return to
normal by 12 months. Although the color of HSc and D sites change markedly with
time these color changes are primarily due to changes in redness of the site, not
melanin in this primarily Caucasian population.

Background/purpose: There has been growing interest in cellulite on parts of the
body; however, no objective assessment has been specifically established. This study
aims to demonstrate an optimized method by comparing the existing assessments of
cellulite. Methods: In Test 1, for subjects of 20 healthy females who have cellulite, we
measured volume and roughness of cellulite using fringe projection method,
roughness using replica method, dermo-subcutaneous interface length and
subcutaneous thickness using ultrasonography and skin temperature using infrared
ray, elasticity and blood flow. In Test 2, we applied an anti-cellulite cosmetic to 28
subjects for 6 weeks and observed if they have any changes. Results: In Test 1, the
effective parameter that is the most correlated with visual assessment was volume of
skin measured using fringe projection method (r = 0.780). Dermo-subcutaneous
interface length (r = 0.355) and subcutaneous thickness (r = 0.502) measured using
ultrasonography followed in order. In Test 2, after applying a tested product, the
correlation coefficient of volume of skin, of dermo-subcutaneous interface length and
of subcutaneous thickness are 0.409 (P = 0.000), 0.275 (P = 0.016) and 0.311 (P =
0.012) respectively. Conclusion: We conclude that visual assessment, volume of skin
(cavities), dermo-subcutaneous interface length and subcutaneous thickness are
optimized methods for assessing an effect of cosmetics on cellulite. © 2013 John
