Simulating PDT of port-wine stains in the in vivo chicken wattle model using Hemoporfin and radiation at 532 nm: Comparison of a LED and a laser source. Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2024; 46:104068. [PMID: 38598961 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2024.104068] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2023] [Revised: 03/21/2024] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 04/12/2024]
Abstract
Port-wine stain (PWS) birthmarks are congenital capillary malformations occurring in 0.3 %∼0.5 % of newborns. Hemoporfin-mediated vascular-acting photodynamic therapy (Hemoporfin PDT) is an emerging option for treating PWS. This in vivo study aimed to compare laser and light-emitting diodes (LED) as light source for Hemoporfin PDT. Chicken wattles were used as the animal model. Color and histopathological changes were evaluated after combining Hemoporfin with KTP laser or LED light source of 532 nm at the same doses. Both PDT approaches could induce significant vascular injury and color bleaching. Although the use of the laser resulted in a greater vascular clearance, the LED showed more uniform distribution both in the beam profiles and tissue reaction and exhibited better safety. This in vivo study suggests that the LED is a favorable choice for larger PWS lesion.

Abstract
Objective Port-wine stains are a kind of dermatological disease of congenital capillary malformation. Based on the biological characteristics of port-wine stains and the advantages of microneedle transdermal administration, we intend to construct a nanodrug co-loaded with rapamycin (RPM), an anti-angiogenesis drug, and photochlor (HPPH), a photosensitizer, and integrate the nanodrug with dissolvable microneedles (MN) to achieve anti-angiogenesis and photodynamic combination therapy for port-wine stains. Methods First, RPM and HPPH co-loaded nanoparticles (RPM-HPPH NP) were prepared by the emulsification solvent-volatilization method, and its ability to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) was investigated under 660 nm laser irradiation. Mouse hemangioendothelioma endothelial cells (EOMA) were used as the subjects of the study. The cellular uptake behaviors were examined by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. The cytotoxicity effects of RPM-HPPH NP with or without 660 nm laser irradiation on EOMA cells were examined by MTT assays (with free RPM serving as the control). Then, hyaluronic acid (HA) dissolvable microneedles loaded with RPM-HPPH NP (RPM-HPPH NP@HA MN) were obtained by compounding the nanodrug with HA dissolvable microneedle system through the molding method. The morphological characteristics and mechanical properties of RPM-HPPH NP@HA MN were investigated by scanning electron microscope and electronic universal testing machine. The penetration ability of RPM-HPPH NP@HA MN on the skin of nude mice was evaluated by trypan blue staining and H&E staining experiment. Results The RPM-HPPH NP prepared in the study had a particle size of 150 nm and generated large amounts of ROS under laser irradiation. At the cellular level, RPM-HPPH NP was taken up by EOMA cells in a time-dependent manner. The cytotoxicity of RPM-HPPH NP was higher than that of free RPM with or without laser irradiation. Under laser irradiation, RPM-HPPH NP exhibited stronger cytotoxic effects and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The height of the needle tip of RPM-HPPH NP@HA MN was 600 µm and the mechanical property of a single needle was 0.75048 N. Trypan blue staining and HE staining showed that pressing on the microneedles could produce pores on the skin surface and penetration of the stratum corneum. Conclusion RPM-HPPH NP@HA MN can deliver RPM-HPPH NP percutaneously to the lesion tissue and realize the synergistic treatment of port-wine stains with anti-angiogenic therapy and photodynamic therapy, providing a new strategy for the construction of nanodrug-loaded microneedle delivery system and the clinical treatment of port-wine stains.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS Hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether mediated photodynamic therapy (HMME-PDT) has emerged as an alternative approach for port-wine stain (PWS), which was primarily treated with pulsed dye laser (PDL). This study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HMME-PDT for PWS and to explore influential factors on the efficacy. METHODS A total of 254 patients were enrolled. Patients received an intravenous injection of HMME at 5 mg/kg. Lesion areas were irradiated with 532-nm light for 20-25 min. Efficacy was assessed according to fading of lesions and graded as excellent (≥90 %), good (60 %-89 %), fair (20 %-59 %), or poor (<20 %). Adverse events were recorded. Clinical data were analyzed including gender, age, lesion sub-type, lesion location and number of treatments. RESULTS Overall, 72.4 % of patients achieved an effective response, with 27.6% showing excellent efficacy, 24.8 % showing good efficacy and 20.1 % showing fair efficacy. Only 27.6 % showed poor efficacy. Patients under the age of 18 obtained a better efficacy than adults. Lesions in face showed a better therapeutic outcome than those in neck or trunk and extremities. A more effective response was seen in pink type compared with nodular thickening type. Multiple HMME-PDT treatments could improve the clinical response. Lesion location, lesion sub-type, number of treatments were independent influential factors on efficacy. Adverse events included edema, blister, crust, hypopigmentation, hyperpigmentation, pain, itch and burning sensation. No severe systemic side events were observed. CONCLUSIONS HMME-PDT was effective for treating PWS and was safe and well-tolerated by patients. It is worth further investigation in efficacy and safety involving more patients from medical institutions in different regions in China. The optimal treatment parameters and treatment protocols are still being explored in the clinical treatment for PWS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To conduct a retrospective analysis of Hemoporfin photodynamic therapy (HMME-PDT) in the treatment of port-wine stains (PWS). METHOD A retrospective analysis was conducted based on the clinical data from March 2017 to December 2022, so as to summarize the demographic characteristics, clinical efficacy and adverse reactions. The effectiveness of HMME-PDT was examined with respect to treatment times, age, gender, subtype, and location of PWS lesions. RESULT The age of the 2952 cases ranged from 8 months to 56 years old (median, 2.8 years), with 1419 males (48.07 %), and 1533 females (51.93 %). There were 669 cases of pink type (22.66 %), 2184 cases of purplish red type (73.98 %), and 99 cases of nodular thickening type (3.35 %). The prevalence location was face (88.04 %), neck (14.94 %), limbs and trunk. 1602 cases (54.27 %) had never received treatment, 661 cases (22.39 %) had been treated by pulse dye laser (PDL), 229 cases (7.76 %) had previously been treated by PDT, 296 cases (10.03 %) had received both the modalities. The 2952 cases completed totally 7996 HMME-PDT times. Cure rate and effective rate increased continuously with the number of treatments. The pink type has the highest cure rate and effective rate, followed by the purplish red type and the last was the nodular thickening type. The therapeutic effects are considerably influenced by age, subtype, and treatment site (P < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the effectiveness of HMME-PDT between both genders. The local adverse reactions after the first treatment included edema (97.73 %), itching (82.62 %), purpura-like change (79.51 %), crusts (24.59 %), infection (4.07 %), scars (1.08 %), hyperpigmentation (0.61 %), and depigmentation (0.41 %). Nausea and vomiting occurred in 2 juveniles and 1 young adult (5, 6 and 22 years old respectively) immediately after treatment, and did not interfere with the administration of the treatment. Patients aged 21-30 were found to have a 3.4-fold higher likelihood of undergoing HMME-PDT under general anesthesia compared to those aged 15 or younger. There was no distinct systemic adverse reaction, such as allergic responses, cardiovascular effects, neurological symptoms, hematological abnormalities, respiratory symptoms, or musculoskeletal issues. CONCLUSION HMME-PDT is preferred in treating PWS, with relatively high effective rate and cure rate, mild local reactions and no distinct systemic adverse reaction.

Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2023; 44:103840. [PMID: 37866443 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2023.103840] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2023] [Revised: 10/04/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 10/24/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a potential treatment for port-wine stains (PWS), but its effects on intraocular pressure (IOP) have not been reported. This study evaluated the efficacy of PDT for facial PWS and analyzed the changes in IOP before and after treatment. METHODS Data from 32 patients with facial PWS who underwent single PDT treatment at our department were collected. The patients were divided into three groups based on the location of the PWS. Group A (15 cases) involved the eyelid of the eye being measured; Group B (10 cases) was located near the eyes but did not involve the measured eyelid; and Group C (7 cases) was situated on the face but not near the eyes. IOP measurements were taken before and after treatment, and the efficacy and changes in IOP were analyzed. RESULTS The overall efficacy rates of single PDT were 84.37 %, demonstrating superior efficacy for the pink type, age < 6 years, and skin lesions < 10 cm2 (P < 0.05). The higher IOP was observed on the side with eyelid involvement of PWS (P < 0.001). The IOP of the affected side in Group A decreased by 2.13 ± 2.10 mmHg on average after treatment, which was statistically significant compared with the other two groups (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Eyelid involvement in PWS increases the risk of elevated IOP. Hemoporfin-mediated PDT can reduce the IOP in patients with PWS involving the eyelid within a safe range. PDT for facial PWS is considered to be safe and effective.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Port wine stains slowly grow thicker over time, nodules appear on the surface, and the color slowly deepens from pink to purple. Even after laser treatment, some port wine stains will recur and slowly grow, and the erythema appears again. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of bleomycin in combination with triamcinolone acetonide in the treatment of inhibiting the proliferation and recurrence of port wine stains. RESULTS Histopathological change: Before treatment, dense capillaries were distributed within the lesion, and blood fills the lumen. Lack of normal skin structure: After bleomycin and triamcinolone acetonide injection, the number of capillaries was significantly reduced, and fibrosis occurred in tissues. Changes in facial morphology: After treatment, the port wine stains became thinner, the asymmetry of the face was effectively improved, and the appearance have been significantly improved. After 5 years of follow-up, there were no recurrent cases. CONCLUSION Bleomycin and triamcinolone acetonide injection can effectively inhibit the proliferation of port wine stains and prevent port wine stains from recurring after treatment.

Abstract
Hemoporfin-mediated photodynamic therapy (HMME-PDT) is commonly used in the treatment of port-wine stains (PWS). However, the influential factors for the efficacy of the treatment are not well defined. This study intends to observe the influential factors for the efficacy of HMME-PDT in the treatment of port-wine stains (PWS). A total of 551 patients with PWS of head and neck was enrolled in this retrospective study. Further screening the patients of facial PWS, 484 patients were chosen. Patients were treated with HMME-PDT. All patients received 1~3 sessions of treatment with 2~3-month intervals. We photographed the lesions before each session and 2~3 months after the last session. Ages, sessions, lesion subtypes, and previous treatment history were related to the response of HMME-PDT (P =0.032, P<0.001, P=0.012, P=0.003 respectively). Treatment sessions were the independent factor correlated with efficacy after 3 sessions of treatment. Patients with no treatment history targeting PWS showed higher efficacy than those were treated with laser or other photodynamic treatment (P<0.05). The efficacy was higher by increasing the sessions of treatment. The efficacy was higher for lesion on maxillary prominence area and mandibular prominence area that on frontonasal prominence area and optic vesicle area (P<0.05). HMME-PDT is an effective in the treatment of PWS. Patients received no previous treatment for PWS, total treatment sessions and lesion on maxillary prominence area and mandibular prominence area are positive factors.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pulsed dye laser (PDL) is currently considered to be the first-line treatment for port-wine stains (PWSs) on the extremities despite its less than satisfactory therapeutic efficacy. Hemoporfin-mediated photodynamic therapy (HMME-PDT) is a vascular-targeted therapy that has rarely been used to treat PWSs on the extremities. Here, we evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of HMME-PDT for the treatment of PWSs on the extremities. METHODS Clinical data and dermoscopic images of PWSs on the extremities were obtained from 65 patients who underwent HMME-PDT between February 2019 and December 2022. The clinical efficacy of HMME-PDT was analyzed by comparing the pre- and post-treatment images. The safety of HMME-PDT was evaluated through observation during the treatment period and post-treatment follow-up. RESULTS The efficacy rate of a single HMME-PDT session was 63.0% and that of two and three to six sessions was 86.7% and 91.3%, respectively. A positive correlation was found between therapeutic efficacy and the number of HMME-PDT sessions. The therapeutic efficacy of HMME-PDT was better on the proximal extremities than on other parts of the extremities (P = 0.038), and the efficacy of treating PWSs in each site was relatively improved with an increase of treatment time. The clinical efficacy of HMME-PDT differed across four PWS vascular patterns identified by dermoscopy (P = 0.019). However, there was no statistical difference in the therapeutic efficacy based on age, sex, type of PWS, and treatment history (P > 0.05), which may be partly attributed to the relatively small sample size or poor cooperation of infant patients. No obvious adverse reactions were observed during the follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS HMME-PDT is a very safe and effective treatment for PWSs on the extremities. Multiple HMME-PDT treatments, lesions located in proximal limbs, and PWSs with type I and IV vascular patterns under dermoscopy were associated with higher efficacy of HMME-PDT. Dermoscopy may help predict the clinical efficacy of HMME-PDT. TRIAL REGISTRATION NO 2020KJT085.

Abstract
Background Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a rare condition associated with a GNAQ gene mutation, which affects neural crest cells. A pulsed dye laser (PDL) is a first-line therapy for SWS, but its outcomes are worse than those in patients with port-wine stains (PWS). Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising therapeutic option for PWS. However, its use for PWS associated with SWS has rarely been studied. Aims To investigate the therapeutic and adverse effects of photodynamic therapy in treating SWS-associated PWS. Methods Patients with SWS and matched patients with large size facial PWS were included in this study. Both colorimetric assessment and visual evaluation were conducted to evaluate patients' responses to treatment. Results Colorimetric assessment (blanching rate) and visual evaluation (scores of colour improvement) showed that after two PDT treatments, the SWS and PWS groups had similar treatment responses (21.2% vs. 29.8%; 3.39 vs. 3.65; P = 0.18, P = 0.37). However, there was a significant difference in efficacy between patients with SWS with and without a treatment history (12.4 and 34.9%, respectively; P = 0.02), as well as between patients with lesions located on the central and lateral faces (18.5 and 36.8%, respectively; P = 0.01). Both the SWS and PWS groups experienced minor adverse effects, and the frequency of these effects was not significantly different between the two groups. Limitation The study was limited by a small sample size and the possibility of later onset of glaucoma. In addition, false-negative magnetic resonance imaging screening results for SWS could not be ruled out due to the young age of some participants. Conclusion Photodynamic therapy is a safe and effective therapeutic option for SWS-associated PWS. Patients without a treatment history, and lesions on the lateral face, responded well, demonstrating good efficacy.

Abstract
Port wine stain (PWS) is a congenital and progressive capillary malformation characterized by structural abnormalities of intradermal capillaries and postcapillary venules. The visible manifestation is often considered a disfigurement and the accompanying social stigma often causes serious emotional and physical impact. Hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether (HMME) is a newly authorized photosensitizer for treating PWS in China. Hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether photodynamic therapy (HMME-PDT) has successfully treated thousands of Chinese patients with PWS since 2017, and HMME-PDT may be one of the most promising strategies for the treatment of PWS. However, there are few reviews published about the clinical use of HMME-PDT. So in this article, we want to briefly review the mechanism, efficacy evaluation, effectiveness and influencing factors, and the common postoperative reactions and treatment suggestions of HMME-PDT in the treatment of PWS.

Abstract
Laser therapy has become the golden standard of port wine stain (PWS), but complete clearance of resistant PWSs is still difficult. The application of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in the treatment of PWS shows potential in clinical practice, especially for large-area and deep lesions. In this work, in vivo animal experimental investigation on the coupling effect of PDT with multi-pulse laser (MPL) irradiation on the treatment of PWS was conducted by using a dorsal skin window chamber model. Through visualization of the thermal response of blood vessels and damage evaluation, it is found that the combination of PDT with MPL results in 96.2% more vascular injury than PDT alone and 90% more than MPL alone, thus reducing side effects such as purpura after treatment. The combined therapy also has the benefit of large treatment area, uniform fading effect, shortened light duration, and reduced photosensitizer admit.

Effects of Photodynamic Therapy on Nav1.7 Expression in Spinal Dorsal Root Ganglion Neurons. Curr Med Sci 2022; 42:1267-1272. [PMID: 36462133 DOI: 10.1007/s11596-022-2640-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2021] [Accepted: 05/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine the effects of photodynamic therapy (PDT) on the expression of Nav1.7 in spinal dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. METHODS The primary DRG neurons from newborn SD rats were cultured. The cells were identified by neuron-specific enolase immunofluorescence staining. DRG neurons were divided into four groups: control group, photosensitizer group, laser group, and PDT group. The cell viability was detected by a cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) assay. qRT-PCR and Western blotting were used to determine the mRNA and protein expression levels of Nav1.7 in DRG neurons. RESULTS The purity of the cultured primary DRG neurons was greater than 90%. Compared with the control group, no significant change was found in the cell viability of the photosensitizer group, while the viability in the laser group and the PDT group was significantly reduced. The mRNA and protein expression levels of Nav1.7 were significantly greater in the laser group and the PDT group than in the control group. At the same time, the mRNA and protein expression levels of Nav1.7 were greater in the laser group than in the PDT group. CONCLUSION Both laser and PDT could upregulate the expression of Nav1.7 in DRG neurons, and the promoting effect might be related to the pain induced by clinical treatment. This study provides a research basis for the use of laser and PDT to treat pain. A better understanding of the relationship between Nav1.7 and PDT can help clinicians better manage PDT-related pain.

Abstract
Port-wine stains (PWSs) are congenital vascular malformations that involve the skin and mucosa. To date, the mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis and progression of PWSs are yet to be clearly elucidated. The potential reasons for dilated vessels are as follows: (1) somatic GNAQ (R183Q) mutations that form enlarged capillary malformation-like vessels through angiopoietin-2, (2) decreased perivascular nerve elements, (3) the coexistence of Eph receptor B1 and ephrin B2, and (4) the deficiency of αSMA expression in pericytes. In addition, ERK, c-JNK, P70S6K, AKT, PI3K, and PKC are assumed to be involved in PWS development. Although pulsed-dye laser (PDL) remains the gold standard for treating PWSs, the recurrence rate is high. Topical drugs, including imiquimod, axitinib, and rapamycin, combined with PDL treatments, are expected to alter the recurrence rate and reduce the number of PDL sessions for PWSs. For the deep vascular plexus, photosensitizers or photothermal transduction agents encapsulated by nanocarriers conjugated to surface markers (CD133/CD166/VEGFR-2) possess a promising therapeutic potential in photodynamic therapy or photothermal therapy for PWSs. The pathogenesis, progression, and treatment of PWSs should be extensively investigated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemoporfin-mediated photodynamic therapy (Hemoporfin-PDT) is a safe and effective treatment modality for port-wine stain (PWS). However, there is still no consensus about the influential factors for the efficacy of the treatment. This study investigated the influential factors associated with the efficacy of Hemoporfin-PDT. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 321 PWS patients who underwent Hemoporfin-PDT at our center from August 2017 to July 2021. The correlation between efficacy versus sex, age, location, type of PWS, treatment numbers, and the lesion size were analyzed. RESULTS The numbers of treatment sessions undertaken were associated with the response to therapy, and compared with patients who received one session, patients who received two or more sessions showed a better response (ORadj=2.46, 95%CI, 1.49-4.07; ORadj=6.01, 95%CI, 3.38-10.70, P<0.001). The effect on central face, peripheral face, and neck was superior to the extremity and trunk, respectively (P<0.001). The lesion size smaller than and equal to 25 cm² showed a better effect than those whose lesion size was larger than 64 cm² (ORadj=1.92, 95%CI, 1.03-3.57, P=0.040). However, other variables, including sex and age, were not associated with the efficacy of the treatment. CONCLUSIONS Hemoporfin-PDT is an effective and safe treatment for PWS. The number of treatments was a favorable factor for Hemoporfin-PDT, smaller lesion sizes showed a better effect than the larger one, and the location of extremity and trunk was a negative factor.

Abstract
Introduction Although pulsed dye laser (PDL) remains the gold standard for the treatment of port-wine stains (PWS), hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether photodynamic therapy (HMME-PDT) is another treatment modality that has been shown to be effective in the treatment of PWS. This study aimed to observe the clinical efficacy and therapeutic response of HMME-PDT in the treatment of pediatric Chinese patients with PWS and to analyze the association between the efficacy of therapy and the dermoscopic features of PWS. Methods Pediatric patients with PWS and negative HMME skin test were enrolled between December 2017 and May 2021. Patients received an intravenous injection of 5 mg/kg HMME, and lesions were irradiated with 532-nm LED green light with a power density of 70–80 mW/cm2 for 20–25 min. Digital photographs and dermoscopic images were taken before and after two treatment sessions, and the clinical response was observed. The relationship between the efficacy of HMME-PDT and the dermoscopic features of PWS was retrospectively analyzed. Results A total of 216 pediatric patients (1–14 years) were recruited. Sixty-six patients had the pink type, while 150 had the purple type. After two HMME-PDT sessions, 55 patients showed excellent efficacy (25.46%), 77 patients showed good efficacy (35.65%), 69 patients showed fair efficacy (31.94%), and 15 patients showed no improvement (6.95%). Dotted and globular vessels were highly associated with excellent efficacy (41.82%); linear vessels were mainly associated with good efficacy (54.55%); reticular vessels were mainly associated with fair (55.07%) and mixed vessels were mainly associated with no improvement (26.66%). Conclusion HMME-PDT is an effective and safe treatment for pediatric patients with PWS. Dotted and globular vessels as well as linear vessels showed better efficacy compared to the other dermoscopic patterns in patients with PWS. Dermoscopy can provide useful clinical information about treatment outcomes.

Abstract
Background and objectives Port-wine stains are defined as congenital benign vascular lesions. The treatment of port-wine stains remains a challenge, worldwide. This study aimed to analyze the histological characteristics in different types of port-wine stains and provide guidance for clinical decision-making. Methods and materials Biopsies were from the hospital from 2015 to 2021. H&E staining, Immunofluorescence staining, Masson's trichrome staining and Weigert staining were performed on the tissues. Results A total of 35 port-wine stains patients were included in the study of four distinct types, namely red port-wine stains (11 cases), purple port-wine stains (seven cases), hypertrophic port-wine stains (nine cases) and nodular port-wine stains (eight cases). The mean vessel diameter of the different types was 38.7 ± 5.9 μm, 93.5 ± 9.7 μm, 155.6 ± 21.8 μm and 155.6 ± 29.54 μm, respectively. Mean vessel depth was 396.4 ± 31 μm, 944.2 ± 105.4 μm, 2,971 ± 161.3 μm and 3,594 ± 364.6 μm, respectively. The vessels in red port-wine stains, purple port-wine stains and hypertrophic port-wine stains were mainly composed of capillary and venous malformations, whereas those in nodular port-wine stains were venous or arteriovenous malformations. Limitation The main limitation of the current study was the small number of patients. Conclusion As the disease progresses, vessel diameters become larger, the vessel wall becomes thicker and vessels were found in a greater depth. A treatment plan should be scientifically formulated keeping in mind the histological characteristics of port-wine stains.

Abstract
The development of appropriate photothermal detection of skin diseases to meet complex clinical demands is an urgent challenge for the prevention and therapy of skin cancer. An extensive body of literature has ignored all high-order harmonics above the second order and their influences on low-order harmonics. In this paper, a new iterative numerical method is developed for solving the nonlinear thermal diffusion equation to improve nonlinear photothermal detection for the noninvasive assessment of the thickness of port-wine stain (PWS). First, based on the anatomical and structural properties of skin tissue of PWS, a nonlinear theoretical model for photothermal detection is established. Second, a corresponding nonlinear thermal diffusion equation is solved by using the new iterative numerical method and taking into account harmonics above the second-order and their effects on lower-order harmonics. Finally, the thickness and excitation light intensity of PWS samples are numerically simulated. The simulation results show that the numerical solution converges fasterand the physical meaning of the solution is clearerwith the new method than with the traditional perturbation method. The rate of change in each harmonic with the sample thickness for the new method is higher than that for the conventional perturbation method, suggesting that the proposed numerical method may provide greater detection sensitivity. The results of the study provide a theoretical basis for the clinical treatment of PWS.

Abstract
Introduction Hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether-photodynamic therapy (HMME-PDT) has been showing promising results in the treatment of port-wine stains (PWSs). We evaluated the clinical efficacy and treatment response of HMME-PDT in adult Chinese patients with PWSs. Methods A single-center retrospective study recruited adult PWS patients with negative HMME skin test results from December 2017 to May 2020. Patients received an intravenous injection of 5 mg/kg HMME and the lesions were exposed to 532 nm LED green light with an irradiation power density of 85–95 mW/cm2 for 20–25 min. Digital photographs were taken before and after two therapy sessions and observed by three blinded dermatologists for clinical response. Results A total of 72 patients aged between 18 and 55 years were recruited. There were 65 patients of the flat purple type, 5 of the hypertrophic type, and 2 of the nodular thickening type. Of the 65 patients, 7 showed excellent efficacy (10.77%), 13 patients indicated good efficacy (20.00%), 47 patients showed fair efficacy (64.62%), while 3 cases displayed no improvement (4.62%). All five patients of the purple and hypertrophic type showed fair efficacy (100%), and no improvement was observed in patients of the nodular thickening type (100%). Pain, pruritus, and a burning sensation were observed during treatment. Edema was noted on the treated areas post-treatment. No other obvious systemic adverse reactions were observed.
Conclusion HMME-PDT is an effective and safe treatment for adult patients with purple PWSs. Multiple HMME-PDT treatments can improve the response and cure rate.

[PMID: 34965475 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2021.102703] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2021] [Revised: 12/19/2021] [Accepted: 12/20/2021] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulsed dye laser (PDL) is the gold-standard therapy for port-wine stains (PWSs), but the therapeutic efficacies vary widely with each individual. Recent studies suggest that hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether-photodynamic therapy (HMME-PDT) is an effective alternative in the treatment of PWS. This retrospective study aimed to compare the effects of HMME-PDT and Cynergy dual-wavelength laser on red and purple color types of PWS METHODS: This retrospective study included 38 PWS patients who received Cynergy dual-wavelength laser treatment (PDL group) and 39 PWS patients who received HMME-PDT treatment (HMME-PDT group). Patients in each group received two treatments. The curative effect of purple or red PWS in two groups was analyzed. RESULTS After the first treatment, the total significant response rate and the total response rate of the HMME-PDT group were 43.59% and 74.36%, which were significantly higher than those of the PDL group (5.26% and 47.36%) (P < 0.05). After the second treatment, the total significant response rate and the total response rate of the HMME-PDT group were 69.23% and 100%, which were obviously higher than those of the PDL group (34.21% and 68.42%) (P < 0.05). For both groups, the total significant response rate of purple-type PWS was remarkably higher than that of red-type PWS (the HMME-PDT group: P = 0.004; the PDL group: P = 0.048). There was no obvious difference in terms of patient age and PWS location between the HMME-PDT and PDL groups. Furthermore, there was no considerable difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION The single-center retrospective study suggested that HMME-PDT might have better efficacies on purple and red PWS than PDL treatment. The total treatment efficacy was greater in purple-type PWS than in red-type PWS.

Abstract
Hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether (HMME) is a newly authorized photosensitizer for the treatment of port-wine stain (PWS) in China. However, no research on its efficacy for treating PWS lesions of Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) has been made. To assess the efficacy and safety of HMME-PDT in the treatment of SWS and simple large segmental facial PWS. Medical records of patients with SWS and large segmental facial PWS were reviewed. Efficacy was evaluated according to colour blanching and graded as excellent (≥75%), good (50-74%), fair (25-49%), and poor (≤24%). Adverse events were analysed. 19 patients with SWS and 33 patients with large segmental facial PWS were analysed. 52.6% SWS and 69.7% PWS patients (P>0.05) achieved at least 25% improvement. Common adverse events included short-term pain, edema, pruritus, exudation, and scab. No severe adverse event occurred. HMME-PDT was effective and safe for SWS and large segmental facial PWS.

Abstract
Background Hemoporfin-mediated photodynamic therapy (HMME-PDT) is reported to be effective and safe for port-wine stains (PWS). However, its efficacy is influenced by several factors and there is no appropriate method to evaluate efficacy so far. Therefore, this study explored the clinical efficacy of HMME-PDT for PWS on the face and neck and the feasibility of evaluating treatment potency with optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods A total of 211 PWS patients subjected to HMME-PDT were recruited for study and correlations of therapeutic effect with treatment sessions, age, gender, lesion distribution and treatment history analyzed. OCT was utilized for quantitative analysis of PWS lesions of 36 selected patients before and after HMME-PDT. Results The efficacy of two consecutive treatments was significantly higher than that of single treatment (P < 0.05). In multivariate analysis, after the first treatment, age, lesion distribution and treatment history were correlative factors affecting treatment efficacy (P < 0.05). The improvement effect on central facial lesions was lower than that on lateral facial lesions (P < 0.05). The efficacy of therapy on the group with no history of pulsed dye laser (PDL) treatment was greater than that on effective and ineffective treatment groups (P < 0.05). After the second session, age remained the only factor correlated with efficacy (P < 0.05). Dilated vessel diameter and depth before and after treatment were significantly different (P < 0.05). With increasing treatment times, age was the most significant factor influencing treatment efficacy. Conclusions Our collective findings indicate that HMME-PDT therapy is effective and safe for PWS and support the utility of OCT in objective assessment of the efficacy of HMME-PDT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Port-wine stain (PWS) is a congenital capillary malformation associated with negative effects on the quality of life and psychological health of the patients. Pulsed dye laser (PDL) is the current treatment of choice for PWS; however, there is little information on the factors determining the treatment price of PWS. We aim to explore the factors determining the treatment price of PWS. METHODS Data were collected through telephone surveys and self-reported questionnaires from hospitals, chain clinics, and doctor's offices that offered PWS treatment from February 1 to March 30, 2021. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and multivariate analysis using a log-linear regression model. RESULTS A total of 104 observations were gathered. The estimated base price of the treatment without any additional features is 98.34 USD. Treatment by dermatologists has an additional charge of 28.41 USD or 28.9%. Some private clinics offer a lower price of 28.7% (or 28.27 USD) by illegally having non-medical doctors perform the treatment. Treatment with 595-nm PDL and 585-nm PDL and 1064-nm Nd:YAG lasers has an additional charge of 34% (or 33.45 USD) and 38% (or 37.41 USD), respectively. The location and type of medical facility can also affect the price of the treatment. CONCLUSION Many factors determine the base price and shadow price of PWS treatment. Factors determining a higher cost of laser fee includes non-government facilities, location within the capital city, and shopping complexes (high-cost location). Lastly, the type of laser and medical personnel provider can also affect the price of the treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Port-wine stains occur in 0.3-0.5% newborns, mainly on the face and neck. Pulsed dye laser is recognized as the gold standard treatment; nevertheless, it is associated with a low cure rate and a high recurrence rate. AIMS This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of hemoporfin photodynamic therapy for pulsed dye laser-resistant port-wine stains in children. METHODS We studied 107 children who received hemoporfin photodynamic therapy for port-wine stains on the face and neck that were resistant to pulsed dye laser. After intravenous injection of 5 mg/kg hemoporfin, the local lesion was irradiated with 532 nm LED green light for 20 min with a power density of 80-100 mW/cm2. A total of 65 patients were given a second treatment after eight weeks. The efficacy and therapeutic responses were recorded at four days and eight weeks after each treatment. RESULTS The efficacy was positively correlated with the number of treatments received; two treatment sessions yielded significantly better results compared to a single treatment with a response rate of 96.9%, a significant response rate of 50.8% and a cure rate of 21.5%, respectively (P < 0.001). After two treatment sessions, the efficacy was negatively correlated with age (P = 0.04). The efficacy for port-wine stains located on the lateral part was better than that of the central face (P = 0.04). The efficacy for the pink type was better than that for the red and purple types (P = 0.03). No allergic or systematic adverse reactions were reported. LIMITATIONS No objective measurement data were available. CONCLUSION Hemoporfin photodynamic therapy is effective and safe for pulsed dye laser-resistant facial port-wine stains in children.

Abstract
Hemoporfin-mediated photodynamic therapy (HMME-PDT) is a vascular-targeted treatment for port-wine stains (PWS). However, the efficacy of this has varied and is difficult to predict. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of influential factors associated with HMME-PDT and provide a suitable method for predicting the efficacy. Patients with facial PWS who underwent HMME-PDT were retrospective analyzed. A total of 212 patients (93 males) with mean age of 13.01 ± 12.67 years (range, 1-51) years were included. There were 143 cases with red, 56 cases with purple, and 13 cases with hypertrophic-type PWS. The number of HMME-PDT sessions ranged 1-6. The excellent response rate after 1-4 PDT sessions was 9.4%, 17.6%, 32.7%, and 42.9%, respectively. The number of PDT treatments is associated with efficacy, and patients who underwent treatment with more than three sessions had response better than those who underwent treatment with less than three sessions (p = 0.003). Response to HMME-PDT in patients of different ages, previous treatment history, lip involvement, and vessels morphology showed significant differences after two treatment sessions (p = 0.001, 0.03, 0.014, and 0.001, respectively), while patients of different sex, subtype, lesion size, location (medial, lateral, or mixed), or non-vascular morphology showed no significant differences. Logistic regression analysis confirmed that the patients with lip hypertrophy (p = 0.002), history of more than five times prior treatment (p = 0.003), fewer PDT sessions (<3) (p = 0.000002), linear vessels (p = 0.007), and reticular vessels (p = 0.0003) showed association with poor response of HMME-PDT. In conclusion, HMME-PDT is an effective treatment for PWS. Patients who had underwent treatment for more than five times prior, lip hypertrophy, and linear vessels or reticular vessels under dermoscope showed association with poor efficacy.

Abstract
Purpose Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a malignant tumor with a high incidence. The therapeutic effect of conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy is not obvious. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an ideal modality to fight cancer, and the nature of photosensitizer limits its application in clinical therapy. The aim of this study was to explore a novel mode of drug delivery for the intervention of bile duct cancer. Methods Oxaliplatin and photosensitizer HCE6 were loaded with mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) to synthesize Oxaliplatin/HCE6-MSNs (OH-MSNs); the structure of OH-MSNs was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS), the drug release rate was detected by high performance liquid chromatography; the cellular activity, apoptosis level, and the expression levels of intracellular apoptosis and autophagy-related factors of OH-MSNs on cholangiocarcinoma cells were observed by CCK-8, flow cytometry, colony formation assay, and Western blot; the effects of OH-MSNs on cholangioma growth were observed by mouse tumor formation, immunohistochemistry, and tissue Tunel staining. Results The release of OH-MSNs to Oxaliplatin was enhanced under acidic conditions; compared with Oxaliplatin or O-MSNs, OH-MSNs showed more potent killing effects against cholangiocarcinoma cells (P<0.05), and exerted notably inhibitory effects on the activity of cholangiocarcinoma cells (P<0.05), promoted their apoptosis (P<0.05), and greatly facilitated the expression of pro-apoptotic factors and autophagic factors in cholangiocarcinoma cells (P<0.05), and markedly inhibited the expression of anti-apoptotic factors and autophagic inhibitory factors (P<0.05); moreover, OH-MSNs could significantly suppress the growth of mouse cholangiocarcinoma (P<0.05) and induce apoptosis of tumor cells compared with Oxaliplatin or O-MSNs (P<0.05). Conclusion MSNs loading greatly increases the killing effect of Oxaliplatin on cholangiocarcinoma cells and upgrades the autophagic level of cholangiocarcinoma cells, while OH-MSNs synthesized by further loading HCE6 have a more apparent killing effect on cholangiocarcinoma cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Port-wine stains (PWS) occur in 0.3-0.5% of the population. However, the dermoscopic features of PWS have not been systematically studied. METHODS Dermoscopic images of 264 cases with PWS were retrospectively analysed. RESULTS Linear vessels were the most frequent dermoscopic features of PWS (42.0%). Other dermoscopic features were reticular vessels (28.0%), sausage-like vessels (13.6%), dots or globules vessels (9.1%) and mixed vessels (7.2%). Nonvascular morphology comprised white circles (13.6%) and whitish veil (38.3%). Sausage-like vessels and whitish veil were mainly present in the thickened type and in those with PWS aged ≥18 years; mixed vessels were mainly present in purple type of PWS. Dermoscopic features showed no significant difference between lesions located on different facial areas (V1, V2 and V3). Dots or globular vessels were more common in non-facial lesions (P < 0.0001). White circles were only found in the facial lesions, and the frequency of white circles and whitish veil was higher in the treated group than in the untreated group (P = 0.004 and P = 0.04, respectively). The frequency of white circles was significantly higher in the prior treated group than in the untreated group (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSION There are various of dermoscopic features of PWS. The dermoscopic features of patients with PWS may correlate with age, subtype, location, prior treatment history and pulsed dye laser (PDL) resistance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulsed dye laser is the first treatment choice for port-wine stains. However, as some facial port-wine stains are resistant to this modality, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether (hemoporfin) photodynamic therapy for the treatment of such resistant port-wine stains. METHODS Patients were treated with two sessions of hemoporfin photodynamic therapy in our department. Patients received an intravenous injection of hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether (5 mg/kg) followed by 532 nm LED green light therapy. Three physicians graded the improvement in the port-wine stain, using a 4-level scale. Patients' satisfaction, reaction to treatment, and adverse effects were evaluated. RESULTS Thirty-one patients (mean age, 23.9 ± 11.9 years, range, 3-48 years) were enrolled in this study. Hypertrophic lesions accounted for 48.4% of port-wine stain, with 80.6% of lesions being larger than 40 cm2. With regard to location, 41.9% were located on the central face and 32.3% involved a mix of the central and peripheral face. After one session, a treatment response was identified in 87.1% of cases, with the response deemed 'significant' in 29.0%. After two sessions, these rates increased to 100.0% and 61.3%, respectively. The clinical effect after two sessions was significantly greater than that after one session. Treatment reactions and adverse effects were well tolerated, and included pruritus, burning sensation, pain, edema, purpura-like change, blister, crust, and hyperpigmentation. CONCLUSIONS Hemoporfin photodynamic therapy is a promising treatment for port-wine stains resistant to pulsed dye laser therapy.

Zhou J, Qi Z, Jin X. Surgical correction for patients with port-wine stains and facial asymmetry. J Cosmet Dermatol 2020; 19:3307-3314. [PMID: 32307862 DOI: 10.1111/jocd.13415] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2019] [Revised: 02/13/2020] [Accepted: 03/23/2020] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The refractory port-wine stains are often associated with soft and hard tissue hypertrophy leading to facial asymmetry and psychological problems. AIMS The authors describe and illustrate a surgical strategy for the treatment of both hard and soft tissue malformations in patients with port-wine stains to restore facial symmetry. METHODS The medical records, photographs of two patients with soft and hard tissue hypertrophy were reviewed. After physical examinations, 3-dimensional computed tomography was conducted to evaluate bony asymmetry. The surgical strategy was designed according to individual malformation and requests. RESULTS Both patients had congenital port-wine stains that were resistant to laser therapy. As they grew up, they developed both soft and hard tissue hypertrophy. Zygoma, maxilla, nose, and lips are involved, causing facial asymmetry, deviated nose, increased dental show and malocclusion. To correct bony malformation, orthognathic surgery, and facial bone contouring including zygomatic reduction, mandibular angles osteotomy and genioplasty were performed. After the correction of the bony factor, soft tissue symmetry was improved via resection, autologous fat grafting, liposuction, and rhinoplasty. Both patients were satisfied with the surgical result. CONCLUSIONS To acquire facial symmetry, surgical correction is inevitable for patients with port-wine stains associated with soft and hard tissue hypertrophy. The authors describe the successive correction of bony and soft tissue asymmetry to achieve harmonious surgical outcomes.
