Psoriasis tedavisinin vücut kompozisyon analizi, metabolik sendrom kriterleri ve psoriatik artrite etkisi

The effect of psoriasis treatment on body composition, components of metabolic syndrome and psoriatic arthritis

Funda Tamer, Mehmet Ali Gürer
Özet
Amaç: Psoriasis etyolojisi net olmayan, immün aracılı mekanizmalarla gelişen, kronik inflamatuvar bir deri hastalığıdır. Kronik inflamasyonun, vasküler ve metabolik bozuklukların gelişmesine neden olarak, psoriasise eşlik eden komorbiditelerin patogenezinde rol oynadığı düşünülmektedir. Özellikle metabolik sendrom komponentlerinden olan obeziteyle psoriasis arasında güçlü bir ilişkiden bahsedilmekte, psoriasis, beden kitle indeksi (BKİ) ve psoriasis tedavisinin karmaşık ilişkisi üzerinde durulmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, metotreksat, siklosporin ve biyolojik ajan olmak üzere sistemik tedavi başlanılan psoriasisli hastalarda, vücut kompozisyon analizlerini, eşlik eden komorbiditeleri ve ilgili laboratuvar bulgularını değerlendirerek, bu tedavi ajanlarının bakılan parametrelere ve komorbiditelere olan etkisini değerlendirmeyi amaçladık.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamıza metotreksat, siklosporin ve biyolojik ajan tedavisi alan 79 psoriasisli hasta dahil edildi. Tedavi öncesi ve tedavinin 12. haftasında olmak üzere, hastaların demografik özellikleri, vücut kompozisyon analizleri, eşlik eden komorbiditeler ve bunlarla ilgili laboratuvar bulguları değerlendirilmiş olup, sonuçlar tedavi öncesi ve sonrasında, tedavi grupları arasında karşılaştırıldı.
Bulgular: Biyolojik ajan tedavisi alan hastalarda, eşlik eden komorbidite ve metabolik sendromun daha sık izlendiği görüldü. Biyolojik ajan tedavisiyle vücut yağ oranının arttığı ve yine anti tümör nekrozis faktör alfa (anti-TNF-α) tedavisinin kilo alımına neden olduğu tespit edildi.
Sonuç: Çalışmamızın sonuçları, metabolik sendromun, hastalık süresinin daha uzun ve hastalığın daha şiddetli olması nedeniyle, komorbidite patogenezindeki kronik inflamasyona daha uzun süre ve şiddetli bir şekilde maruz kalan olgularda daha sık izlendiğini düşündürmektedir.

Summary
Background and Design: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory immune-mediated skin disorder with unknown etiology. Chronic inflammation in psoriasis has a role in the development of metabolic and vascular disorders related with associating comorbidities. Recent studies have suggested a strong association between psoriasis and obesity, which is one of the components of metabolic syndrome, and emphasized the complex relationship of psoriasis treatment with psoriasis and body mass index (BMI). In this study, our aim was to investigate the effect of psoriasis treatment with methotrexate, cyclosporine and biological agents on body composition, comorbidities and associated laboratory findings.
Materials and Methods: Seventy-nine patients treated with methotrexate, cyclosporin and biological agents were included in our study. Demographic characteristics, body composition analysis, psoriasis-related comorbidities and laboratory examinations were evaluated before
and after 12 weeks of systemic treatment.
Results: Comorbidities and metabolic syndrome tended to be more frequent in the anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (anti-TNF-α)-treated group. Increase in body fat and weight detected in patients receiving biologic drug therapy.
Conclusion: The results of our study showed that patients with severe psoriasis with longer disease duration were more likely to have metabolic syndrome because of severe and long-term inflammation in the pathogenesis of comorbidities. (Turkderm 2015; 49: 41-4)

A CUTANEOUS HORN MIMICKING POLYDACTYLY: A CASE REPORT

 
Funda Tamer, Mehmet Eren Yuksel

Abstract

A cutaneous horn is a general name for cornified material protruding from skin. On the other hand, polydactyly is a common congenital anomaly of the hand and foot which is characterized by extra finger or toe. A cutaneous horn might mimick polydactyly by resembling an extra toe. Hereby, we present a 72-year-old white Caucasian male with an extra toe-like projection on his fourth toe. Initially, polydactyly was suspected, however a cutaneous horn was also considered. The lesion was surgically removed. The histopathological examination of the specimen revealed hyperkeratosis, and thus confirmed the  lesion to be a cutaneous horn.
