Abstract

Please cite this paper as: Fluorescence induction of protoporphyrin IX by a new 5‐aminolevulinic acid nanoemulsion used for photodynamic therapy in a full‐thickness ex vivo skin model. Experimental Dermatology 2010; 19: e302–e305. Abstract: An ex vivo porcine skin model was utilized to analyse the penetration of 5‐aminolevulinic acid (5‐ALA) contained in a nanoemulsion‐based formulation BF‐200 ALA (10% 5‐ALA‐hydrochloride) versus 16% aminolevulinate methyl ester‐hydrochloride in a commercially cream (MAL cream) by fluorescence microscopy of their common metabolite protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) after 3, 5, 8 and 12 h. Fluorescence signals of PpIX in pig skin treated with BF‐200 ALA were stronger than those for MAL cream. At 8 and 12 h, the PpIX fluorescence signals were 4.8‐ and 5.0‐fold higher than those measured after MAL cream application. Fluorescence signals of PpIX after application of BF‐200 ALA were detected in deeper tissue layers of the epidermis than after application of MAL cream (97.2 ± 5.7 μ m for BF‐200 ALA vs 42.0 ± 4.2 μ m for MAL cream). These data implicate that BF‐200 ALA in photodynamic therapy might lead to a superior therapeutically effect of intraepidermal (in situ) squamous cell carcinomas.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • BF-200 ALA leads to much stronger PpIX fluorescence than MAL cream and induces fluorescence at a tissue depth more than twice that achieved with MAL cream.

    “The resulting ALA nano-emulsion with 10% ALA hydrochloride (BF-200 ALA) not only leads to much stronger PpIX fluorescence than that by MAL cream but also induces fluorescence at a tissue depth of more than twice as much as that achieved with MAL cream.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
