Journal ArticleDOI
Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide nanoparticles in sunscreens: focus on their safety and effectiveness
TL;DR: Caution should still be exercised when new sunscreens are developed and research that includes sunscreen NP stabilization, chronic exposures, and reduction of NPs' free-radical production should receive full attention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photodynamic Inactivation of the Dermatophyte Trichophyton rubrum
TL;DR: The photodynamic efficacy of light-activated porphyrins deuteroporphyrin monomethylester (DP mme) and 5,10,15-tris(4-methylpyridinium)-20-phenyl-[21H,23H]-porphine trichloride (Sylsens B) was compared with that of some other photosensitizers that are well known in the field of photodynamic treatment as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photodynamic Treatment of the Dermatophyte Trichophyton rubrum and its Microconidia with Porphyrin Photosensitizers
Threes G. M. Smijs,Richard N. S. van der Haas,Johan Lugtenburg,Yan Liu,Rob de Jong,Hans J. Schuitmaker +5 more
TL;DR: A promising result of this study is the demonstration of the complete degradation of the fungal hyphae in the time after the PDT and the inactivation of fungal spores, both with red light.
Journal ArticleDOI
Focus on skin as a possible port of entry for solid nanoparticles and the toxicological impact.
TL;DR: A review of data published on NP skin penetration, toxicological issues and on physicochemical NP characterisation focuses on skin as a route of exposure for NPs and the toxicological impact in skin with special attention to physicochemical properties of NPsand skin.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel ex vivo skin model to study the susceptibility of the dermatophyte Trichophyton rubrum to photodynamic treatment in different growth phases
TL;DR: It is concluded that T. rubrum is susceptible to PDT in a situation that mimics the clinical situation, and the fungicidal effect of PDT on fungal spores is of particular importance.
