Abstract
Background Despite a solid rationale, the usefulness of antioxidants in treating vitiligo has not been clearly demonstrated. Combining superoxide dismutase (SOD) with a wheat gliadin biopolymer protects it during the passage through the gastrointestinal tract. Objective To evaluate the efficacy of gliadin‐protected SOD (GP‐SOD), associated with narrowband ultraviolet B(NB‐UVB), for treating vitiligo. Methods We conducted a 24‐week monocentric interventional prospective randomized placebo‐controlled trial in the tertiary center for vitiligo care in the department of Dermatology of Nice University hospital, Nice, France. Subjects with non‐segmental vitiligo affecting more than 5% of the total body surface were included. The subjects received gliadin‐protected SOD (GP‐SOD; 1 g/day for 12 weeks followed by 0.5 g/day for 12 weeks) or placebo in combination with twice‐weekly sessions of NB‐UVB. The primary endpoint was the total repigmentation rate at 24 weeks, compared with baseline, as assessed by investigator‐assessed Vitiligo Extent Score (VES) on standardized pictures. Results A total of 50 patients were included. After 24 weeks, a greater improvement in VES was observed in the GP‐SOD group (19.85%; SE 4.63, P < 0.0001) compared with the placebo group (8.83%; SE 4.72, P = 0.0676). Tolerance was good in both groups. No related side‐effect was reported. Conclusions The use of GP‐SOD appears to be a useful add‐on to phototherapy in the treatment of vitiligo patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immunotherapies using anti-CTLA4 and anti-PD1 antibodies have revolutionised the management of patients with advanced melanoma. The aim of our study was to analyse the efficacy and safety of immunotherapies in patients with advanced melanoma under real-life conditions. METHODS We conducted a monocentric, retrospective, observational study that included all patients treated with immunotherapies (ipilimumab, i.e. ipi; nivolumab, i.e. niv and pembrolizumab, i.e. pbr) for advanced melanoma with exclusion of primary mucosal or ocular melanoma. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). RESULTS A total of 110 patients were included. Median PFS was better in the anti-PD1 group than in the anti-CTLA4 group (3.9 months vs. 2.9 months, P=0.025). The frequency of adverse events of any grade was 53.4% with ipi, 66.7% with niv and 75% with pbr. DISCUSSION Our study shows slightly inferior efficacy data vs. clinical trials of ipi and niv because patients were presenting more severe illness at inclusion. Nevertheless, the study argues in favour of the superiority of anti-PD1 antibodies vs. anti-CTLA4 antibodies in terms of PFS and best overall response. Moreover, our study exhibits safety data comparable to those from clinical trials except for a lower frequency with ipi. CONCLUSION Our efficacy and safety data obtained under real-life conditions are reassuring since they are consistent with data already published.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neoangiogenesis occurs within days following laser treatment of port wine stains (PWS), and plays a central role in treatment failures. Topical use of timolol can significantly reduce the production of vascular endothelial growth factor in vitro, and in animal models. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of topical timolol in combination with pulsed dye laser (PDL) treatment, compared with PDL alone, for treating PWS. METHODS This was a prospective multicenter controlled trial performed in children with PWS of the face who had not previously received laser treatment. After randomization, one group was treated with PDL alone, and the other with PDL followed by twice daily applications of timolol gel. Three laser sessions were performed at 1-month intervals with fixed parameters. The evaluation was performed on standardized pictures by two independent physicians blinded to the treatment received. The primary endpoint was marked or complete improvement of the PWS [Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) 3 or 4] 1 month after the third session. RESULTS Twenty-two children were included. Two patients were lost to follow-up. There was no difference in the success rate between the two groups (IGA 3 or 4 observed in one of 10 patients and two of 12 patients, for PDL alone, and for PDL associated with topical timolol, respectively; P = 1·0). No side-effect related to the application of topical timolol was observed. CONCLUSIONS The addition of timolol gel for preventing neoangiogenesis failed to significantly improve the efficacy of PDL treatment of PWS.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Oxytocin, a neurohypophysial hormone, regulates bone metabolism in animal studies and postmenopausal women. In men, oxytocin is not associated with bone mineral density, bone turnover markers, or prevalent fractures, but weakly negatively with incident fragility fracture requiring further studies. INTRODUCTION We previously showed that serum oxytocin (OT) level is associated with bone mineral density (BMD) and bone turnover rate in postmenopausal women. The aim of our study was to assess the relationship between circulating OT levels and bone status in men. METHODS In 552 men aged 50 and older from the MINOS cohort, we measured serum levels of OT. We assessed the association of serum OT levels with BMD (lumbar, femoral neck, total hip), bone turnover markers (BTM) (serum N-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen (PINP), bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (bone ALP), and C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX-I)) and fracture risk. RESULTS In the univariate analysis, serum OT level was not associated with BMD at any site, BTM levels, or with prevalent or incident fracture. OT was significantly correlated with body mass index (BMI) (r = 0.17, p < 0.001), total or bioavalaible 17β-estradiol (r = 0.09, p = 0.04 and r = 0.20, p < 0.001, respectively), free testosterone (r = 0.17, p < 0.001), and leptin (r = 0.16, p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis did not show significant relationship between serum OT and BMD. After adjustment for age, BMI, interaction BMI/age, history of fall in the last year, and BMD, OT and prevalent fracture were not associated. By contrast, the same analysis with additional adjustment for prevalent fracture showed a weakly significant negative association between OT and incident fracture, e.g., after adjustment for femoral neck BMD, HR = 0.73, 95 %CI 0.55-0.99, p = 0.04. CONCLUSION In men, serum OT levels are not associated with BMD, bone turnover rate, or prevalent fractures. The weak negative relationship with fracture risk requires further studies.

Abstract
Background As CD4/CD8 ratio inversion has been associated with non-AIDS morbidity and mortality, predictors of ratio normalization after cART need to be studied. Here, we aimed to investigate the association of antiretroviral regimens with CD4/CD8 ratio normalization within an observational cohort. Methods We selected, from a French cohort at the Nice University Hospital, HIV-1 positive treatment-naive patients who initiated cART between 2000 and 2011 with a CD4/CD8 ratio <1. Association between cART and ratio normalization (>1) in the first year was assessed using multivariate logistic regression models. Specific association with INSTI-containing regimens was examined. Results 567 patients were included in the analyses; the median CD4/CD8 ratio was 0.36. Respectively, 52.9%, 29.6% and 10.4% initiated a PI-based, NNRTI-based or NRTI-based cART regimens. About 8% of the population started an INSTI-containing regimen. 62 (10.9%) patients achieved a CD4/CD8 ratio ≥1 (N group). cART regimen was not associated with normalization when coded as PI-, NNRTI- or NRTI-based regimen. However, when considering INSTI-containing regimens alone, there was a strong association with normalization [OR, 7.67 (2.54–23.2)]. Conclusions Our findings suggest an association between initiation of an INSTI-containing regimen and CD4/CD8 ratio normalization at one year in naïve patients. Should it be confirmed in a larger population, it would be another argument for their use as first-line regimen as it is recommended in the recent update of the “Guidelines for the Use of Antiretroviral Agents in HIV-1-Infected Adults and Adolescents”.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several markers of comorbidities and cardiovascular (CV) risk are disturbed in moderate to severe psoriasis (PsO). The effect of systemic treatments of psoriasis on these markers remains poorly understood. OBJECTIVES To study the frequency of disturbance of inflammatory parameters and markers of comorbidities and CV risk associated with moderate to severe PsO and psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and to assess their evolution under systemic treatments. METHODS Monocentric prospective study on patients with PsO and PsA starting a systemic treatment for their psoriasis. The following markers were evaluated at baseline (M0), 3 months (M3) and 6 months (M6); weight, fasting blood glucose, blood pressure, uric acid, hepatic steatosis, smoking, lipid, metabolic and inflammatory parameters. RESULTS Forty-three patients, 31 PsO and 12 PsA, were included. Forty completed the study. Response to treatment was good, with 71% of the population obtaining a Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) of 75. All patients had at least one comorbidity, and 45% had two or more. A statistically significant decrease was observed only for inflammatory parameters (C-reactive protein [CRP], P = 0.004) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR, P = 0.002). We did not observe any correlation between the PASI and CRP (correlation coefficient 0.128, P = 0.438) or ESR (correlation coefficient 0.294, P = 0.069) for responding patients. CONCLUSIONS We observed a high frequency of disturbance of inflammatory parameters and markers of comorbidities and CV risk in a population with moderate to severe PsO and PsA, most of which were not detected before. A significant decrease in inflammatory parameters was noted after the introduction of systemic therapy, while other parameters remained unaffected by the treatment, except the weight that increased under biologics therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Uncovered self-expanding metal stents offer effective relief for colonic obstruction. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of fully covered self-expanding metal stents (FCSEMSs) in the treatment of benign colonic strictures. PATIENTS AND METHODS All patients presenting with a symptomatic benign colonic stricture (occlusion or subocclusion) during a 6-year study period were treated with FCSEMSs. The stents were placed and removed 4 - 6 weeks later at one of 10 endoscopy centers. The efficacy of the stent (clinical and radiological signs of colonic decompression within 48 hours), technical success, stent retrieval, safety, and recurrence of symptoms were evaluated during follow-up. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify variables associated with clinical success, stent migration, and symptom recurrence. RESULTS The study included 43 patients (24 men, 19 women; mean age 67.6 ± 10.4) with occlusive (n = 18) or subocclusive symptoms (n = 25) due to anastomotic (n = 40), post-ischemic (n = 2), or post-radiation (n = 1) strictures. Insertion was successful in all patients. Clinical success was obtained in 35 patients (81 %). Migration was observed in 27 patients (63 %). The median duration of stenting was 21 days (95 %CI 17.8 - 35.4 days). Multivariate analysis showed that stents more than 20 mm wide migrated significantly less often. Recurrence of obstructive symptoms was observed in 23 patients (53 %), irrespective of migration. No predictive factors for recurrence or clinical efficacy were found. CONCLUSIONS FCSEMSs for treatment of symptomatic benign colonic strictures are safe and effective, despite a high rate of spontaneous migration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The treatment of vitiligo remains unsatisfactory. OBJECTIVES To assess in patients with vitiligo the effect of a laser dermabrasion in addition to the association of topical steroids and ultraviolet (UV) B in difficult-to-treat areas. METHODS This was a single-centre prospective randomized trial including patients with nonsegmental vitiligo who had at least two symmetrical lesions located on bony prominences and/or extremities. An erbium laser-assisted dermabrasion was first performed on one side (randomly assigned). After 48 h, hydrocortisone 17-butyrate cream applied daily for three periods of 3weeks followed by a 1-week steroid-free interval and narrowband UVB treatment was performed on both sides twice weekly for 12weeks. The evaluation was performed on standardized pictures by two physicians blinded to the type of treatment received. The criterion of success was a repigmentation of at least 50%, 1month after the end of the treatment. RESULTS Eighteen patients were included (24 paired lesions treated). Two patients dropped out for personal reasons. Almost 50% of lesions achieved at least 50% repigmentation in the dermabrasion side while only 4·2% did so with topical steroids and UVB alone (P<10(-4) ). Side-effects were delayed healing, pain and two hypertrophic scars. The tolerance and patient satisfaction were 4·2 and 4/10 for the laser-treated side and 8·4 and 3/10 in the UVB+ steroids alone group, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Laser dermabrasion significantly improves the repigmentation rate in vitiligo lesions. Despite a high rate of repigmentation in such difficult-to-treat areas the high rate of side-effects and the poor tolerance strongly limit its use in current practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The 308-nm excimer laser and 308-nm excimer lamp have both been shown to be effective in treating vitiligo but a direct comparison has never been performed. OBJECTIVES To test the equivalence of these two devices for treating nonsegmental vitiligo. PATIENTS AND METHODS A randomized monocentric study was undertaken. One lesion was treated with the 308-nm excimer laser and its counterpart with the 308-nm excimer lamp. Lesions were treated twice weekly with the same dose on both sides for a total of 24 sessions. The evaluation was done by two independent physicians blinded to the treatment on direct light and ultraviolet light photos. RESULTS Twenty patients were included: 17 completed the study and 104 lesions were treated. The two treatments showed similar results in terms of efficacy for a repigmentation of at least 50% (P = 0.006). The lamp induced more erythema than the laser. CONCLUSIONS The 308-nm excimer lamp and laser showed a similar efficacy in treating vitiligo. For the same fluence, the lamp induced more erythema suggesting photobiological differences between the two devices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The adverse effects of isotretinoin have been well documented, but dental side effects over the course of treatment have never been studied. OBJECTIVES To prospectively document the oral side effects experienced by a group of patients taking isotretinoin and to compare the changes in oral health and salivary parameters with a control group. METHODS A cohort study was conducted within the dermatology department at the University Hospital in collaboration with two private dermatology practices in Nice, France. Patients were treated at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg/day. The control group was made up of students from the University of Nice-Sophia-Antipolis. The salivary flow, the buffer capacity of saliva, the number of pathogen bacteria and the DMFT index (number of decayed, missing and filled teeth) were assessed at each visit. RESULTS Eighteen patients and 99 controls were available for evaluation. None of the oral parameters varied with time in the control group, whereas the DMFT significantly increased in the treated group (3.07 +/- 3.85 vs. 3.41 +/- 4.36; p<0.036). The salivary flow gradually decreased with time (p<0.004), but the patients recovered their baseline salivary flow 2 months after the end of the treatment. CONCLUSIONS This study clearly showed that patients treated with isotretinoin experienced oral side effects.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pulse dye laser (PDL) appears an attractive method to treat warts. However, data concerning the efficacy of this approach are based chiefly upon open clinical studies or case reports and results vary widely from one study to another. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of PDL with a placebo in the treatment of a homogeneous group of patients presenting palmoplantar warts. METHODS This was a randomized, prospective, placebo-controlled, single-blind study conducted between December 2004 and July 2005 in patients consulting for palmoplantar warts at the Dermatology Department of the University Teaching Hospital of Nice. The treatment settings used for the 595-nm PDL were as follows: spot diameter 5 mm, pulse duration 0.45 ms, fluence 9 J/cm2 with 5 passes at a frequency of 1 Hz. Cryogen spray cooling (system incorporated in the machine) was given at a rate of 50 spurts of 40 ms prior to each laser pulse. In patients in the placebo group, cooling pulses alone were given. For the plantar warts (in both groups), hyperkeratosis was removed manually with a scalpel before each session. A maximum of three sessions was administered at 3-week intervals. The type and number of warts was counted and recorded in a treatment schedule before the start of therapy, at each session and 5 weeks after the final session. The global safety of the treatment was evaluated using a visual analog scale between 0 (intolerable) and 10 (completely safe). RESULTS Nineteen patients were included in the laser group and 16 were included in the placebo group. Sixty-four per cent (48/75) of warts in the laser group resolved completely compared with 13% (4/30) in the placebo group (p<0.001). In the PDL group, 6 of 19 patients (31.5%) no longer had warts by the end of the study compared with 3 of 16 patients (18.75%) in the placebo group (p=0.46). The global safety score of the treatment as assessed by the patients themselves was 8.31 in the laser group and 9.81 in the placebo group. DISCUSSION Pulse dye laser appears to be an effective treatment in palmoplantar warts but the efficacy of this method seems to be only equivalent to that of standard treatments (cryotherapy or salicylic acid preparations). Safety is excellent and constitutes one of the major advantages of this technique. The absence of any proven superiority over the standard treatments in terms of efficacy, coupled with the high costs involved, means that PDL should only be used second-line therapy in patients wishing to avoid constraints affecting their professional activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Appropriate use of prebiotics and optimal combinations of probiotics and prebiotics (synbiotics) could allow significantly better results to be obtained in the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD). OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficiency of synbiotics when compared with prebiotics alone (control group) in the treatment of moderate and severe AD in children aged 2 years and over. METHODS Double-blind prospective randomized study performed on children aged at least 2 years presenting AD with a minimum SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) score of 15. A dose of 1.2 x 10(9) colony-forming units Lactobacillus rhamnosus Lcr35 plus prebiotic preparation or an identically appearing prebiotic preparation alone was given three times a day for 3 months. Patients' diet and usual treatment for AD remained unchanged during the study period. Efficiency was evaluated using the SCORAD score. Use of topical drugs was noted. RESULTS A total of 48 patients were originally enrolled; nine did not complete the study. In synbiotic group, the mean values of the total SCORAD score was 39.1 before treatment vs 20.7 after 3 months of treatment (P < 0.0001). In the prebiotic group, the mean of the total SCORAD score was 39.3 before the treatment vs 24.0 after 3 months (P < 0.0001). After 3 months of treatment, no statistical differences between the two treatment groups with regard to the total SCORAD score were noted (P = 0.535). Neither were there any statistical differences in the total use of ointment between patients receiving prebiotics or synbiotics (P = 0.966) over the study period. Tolerance was excellent in both groups. CONCLUSIONS Both synbiotics and prebiotics used alone seem able to significantly improve the manifestations of AD in children aged 2 years and over.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES To determine the true efficacy of the 308-nm excimer laser for the treatment of vitiligo, while taking into account confounding factors such as anatomic site of treatment, age, sex, skin type, MED, and duration of evolution of the vitiligo. STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-five patients with vitiligo were included. Each lesion was treated twice a week by the 308-nm excimer laser for a maximum of 24 sessions. Efficacy was blindly evaluated by two independent physicians. RESULTS Repigmentation was noted in 46 plaques/52 (88.5%). Repigmentation rate (75%) was obtained in 14 (26.9%). In "UV sensitive" areas (face, neck, trunk), 8/14 lesions (57.1%) had a repigmentation rate, 75% versus 6/38 (15.8%) in "UV resistant" areas (bony prominences and extremities) (P = 0.031). No relationship could be established between response to the treatment and the following variables: age, sex, skin type, MED, and duration of evolution of the vitiligo (respectively, P = 1, 0.666, 0.566, 0.628, 0.521). CONCLUSIONS An aesthetically reasonable result is achieved essentially in "UV sensitive" areas, thus appearing to be the appropriate places of choice for this treatment.

Abstract
Levels of triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c), as well as the TC:HDL-c ratio, were compared in patients receiving different antiretroviral therapy regimens. Patients receiving first-line regimens including protease inhibitors (PIs) had higher TC and TG levels and TC : HDL-c ratios than did antiretroviral-naive patients; patients receiving 2 PIs had higher levels of each lipid. Ritonavir-containing regimens were associated with higher TC and TG levels and TC : HDL-c ratios than were indinavir-containing regimens; however, receipt of nelfinavir was associated with reduced risk of lower HDL-c levels, and receipt of saquinavir was associated with lower TC : HDL-c ratios. Patients receiving nonnucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors had higher levels of TC and LDL-c than did antiretroviral-naive patients, although the risk of having lower HDL-c levels was lower than that in patients receiving a single PI. Efavirenz was associated with higher levels of TC and TG than was nevirapine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Since April 1999, we have set-up an infectious disease consultation in the emergency unit of the University Hospital in Nice. Unjustified antiobiotherapy is often initiated. We therefore conducted a survey to study the motives and validity of antibiotic prescriptions. METHOD This prospective study was conducted in two phases. The first consisted in asking the emergency physicians prescribing antibiotics to fill-in a questionnaire giving information on the diagnosis established and the antiobiotherapy proposed. In the second phase, the diagnoses and corresponding treatments were submitted to 4 experts who assessed the acceptability of the diagnoses and the antibiotics prescribed. The experts only had access to the clinical and para-clinical data available. Moreover, their therapeutic judgement was based on previously published consensuses. RESULTS The 6-month survey collected 117 questionnaires that could be analysed. The rate of error in diagnosis was of 33% (39/117). Thoracic x-rays could not be interpreted in 11% of cases. In single variant analysis, factors of erroneous diagnosis were due to its interpretation by an internist, the diagnostic category of "broncho-pulmonary infections" and the lack of documentation. In multi variant analysis, only the lack of documentation was related to erroneous diagnosis (OR = 5.5; IC 95% (2.03; 15.30), p < 0.0002). The rate of antibiotherapy not adapted to the diagnosis made by the physician was of 32% (37/117). In 24 cases the modalities of the prescription were incorrect and in 13 cases the prescription was unjustified. Only the status of the prescriber (internist) was statistically associated with an antibiotherapy not adapted to the diagnosis (OR = 2.2; IC 95% (0.93; 5.26), p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Unjustified antibiotherapy in an emergency unit is generally due to erroneous diagnosis of infection. The lack of documentation and inexperience of the prescribers appear to be the two elements contributing to unjustified antibiotherapy.
