This study investigated the influence of 0.00584% hydrocortisone aceponate spray (HCA; Cortavance Virbac SA, Carros, France) on blood serum cortisol levels and peripheral blood CCR4+ CD4+ T-lymphocyte levels in dogs with atopic dermatitis. Patients were randomly divided into group I (N=8) and group II (N=8). The dogs in group I were sprayed with HCA on the affected skin once a day for three weeks. The dogs in group II were treated once a day for 3 days followed by no treatment for 4 days for a total of three weeks. For the dogs in group I and group II the CADESI-03 scores before and after use of HCA showed significant reduction (P<0.01). The postcortisol level after the use of HCA in group I showed 36.0% decrease and showed significant suppression (P<0.01). By comparison, the use of HCA on group II did not show decrease in postcortisol levels. There was a tendency of suppression for hypothalamus—pituitary gland—adrenal gland system, but it was not serious influence. In addition, there was no influence on peripheral blood CCR4+ CD4+ lymphocytes percentage in dogs in group I after treatment with HCA.Corrigendum to “Influence of a Diester Glucocorticoid Spray on the Cortisol Level and the CCR4+ CD4+ Lymphocytes in Dogs with Atopic Dermatitis: Open Study”

The Mean

In an open study Diprolene®* Cream was administered to fifty patients with severe or resistant psoriasis, atopic dermatitis or other corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses. For a period of 14 days, patients applied 3·5 grams of medication twice daily. Efficacy was evaluated in forty-six patients, while tolerance and safety were evaluated in fifty patients. Therapeutic response in forty-one of forty-six patients was noted by treatment Day 3. By Day 14, mean total severity score of signs and symptoms in twenty-one patients with psoriasis was reduced by 88%. Similarly, in twenty-five patients with other severe or resistant corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses, a 99% decrease in the mean total severity score of signs and symptoms was evident. Of the patients evaluable for tolerance and safety, twenty-four of fifty reported transient, mild to moderate burning that occurred most often upon application of the study preparation. Therapy was not discontinued in any of these patients, and none required additional treatment for the local reaction. Morning plasma cortisol levels in monitored patients remained within normal limits throughout the study.

Salivary Cortisol Level

The symptoms of atopic dermatitis (AD) are often aggravated by stress, and AD can also lead to psychological stress due to social isolation and discrimination. The salivary cortisol level reflects psychological stress, and it is a good index to assess chronic stress. In this study, we measured the salivary cortisol levels in patients with AD (). AD patients were also evaluated for general disease severity using the Scoring Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) index. The serum levels of TARC, total IgE, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and peripheral blood eosinophil counts were measured by laboratory tests. The Skindex-16 was used as a skin disease-specific, quality of life measure, instrument. The results showed that the saliva cortisol level was significantly higher in AD patients compared to healthy subjects () while the serum TARC and LDH levels were positively correlated with the SCORAD index. However, no statistically significant correlations were observed between the salivary cortisol level and Skindex-16. These results suggest that the saliva cortisol level is therefore a useful biomarker to evaluate the stress in AD patients.

Background: Topical calcineurin inhibitors (tacrolimus and pimecrolimus) are indicated for the treatment of atopic dermatitis but ve also been studied in the treatment of psoriasis. Objective: To define the efficacy of topical calcineurin inhibitors in the treatment of psoriasis. Methods: We searched for English-language articles published since 1990 in PubMed, Ovid/Cochrane, and Embase using “tacrolimus,” “pimecrolimus,” or “topical calcineurin inhibitors” and “psoriasis.” Results: Nine double-blind and 13 open studies demonstrated the efficacy of topical tacrolimus in psoriasis, especially for facial, genital, and intertrigious psoriasis, and four double-blind and one open study demonstrated the efficacy of topical pimecrolimus. Conclusions: The evidence (double-blind and open studies) is strong that topical tacrolimus and, to a lesser extent, pimecrolimus have efficacy in the treatment of psoriasis. Since these agents do not cause cutaneous atrophy, they likely have a special role in facial, genital, and intertriginous psoriasis. Further studies would help define their roles in psoriasis.
