"Latar belakang: Studi epidemiologi menunjukkan bahwa jumlah akne vulgaris AV perempuan dewasa mengalami peningkatan. Hormon, produksi sebum, p. ance, proses inflamasi menjadi berbagai faktor yang terlibat dalam patogenesis terbentuknya AV dewasa. Tujuan: Mengetahui korelasi antara kadar Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate DHEAS dan kadar sebum pada pasien AV perempuan dewasa. Metode: Studi potong lintang dilakukan pada Bulan Juni-Oktober 2017. Sebanyak 50 sampel perempuan dewasa usia 25-49 tahun didapatkan dengan consecutive sampling. Dilakukan anamnesis, pemeriksaan fisik, pengukuran kadar sebum wajah dan pengukuran kadar hormon DHEAS. Hasil: Terdapat hubungan bermakna antara kadar DHEAS dengan kadar sebum wajah pada pasien AV p:0.008; r:0.371 . Setiap kenaikan kadar DHEAS diikuti dengan peningkatan kadar sebum wajah. Diskusi: Androgen berikatan dengan reseptor androgen pada sebosit kulit sehingga androgen dapat mengontrol perkembangan kelenjar sebasea dan produksi sebum. Selain diproduksi secara sistemik, hormon androgen juga diproduksi secara lokal di kulit. Hal inilah yang dapat menjelaskan terjadinya AV dewasa tanpa disertai adanya hiperandrogenisme.

Background: Epidemiologic studies have shown that number of adult female acne vulgaris AV increases. Hormone, sebum production, Propionibacterium acne and inflammatory process are factors involved in adult AV development.

Objective: The aims of this study is knowing the correlation between Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate DHEAS and sebum level in adult female acne.

Method: This research used cross sectional study, and held from June to October 2017. Fifty samples aged 25 49 years were collected by consecutive sampling. Anamnesis, physical examination, sebum and DHEAS measurement were conducted.

Result: There was significantly difference between DHEAS and skin sebum level in AV patients p 0.008 r 0.371. Every increased DHEAS level was followed by increasing of sebum production in AV patient.

Discussion: Androgen binds to androgen reseptor in skin sebocyte, so that androgen could control sebaceous gland development and sebum production. Besides being produced by systemic, androgen is also produced locally in the skin. This could explain how adult AV develops without any hyperandrogenism."

"Latar Belakang: Hiperhomosisteinemia merupakan salah satu faktor risiko terjadinya penyakit kardiovaskular (PKV). Psoriasis vulgaris adalah penyakit kulit inflamasi kronis yang berhubungan dengan beberapa penyakit penyerta, misalnya aterosklerosis dan PKV. Defisiensi folat dapat terjadi pada pasien psoriasis, akibat utilisasi yang meningkat di kulit yang mengalami hiperproliferasi dan atau penyerapan oleh usus yang berkurang. Hal ini dapat mengakibatkan peningkatan kadar homosistein dalam darah. Penulis meneliti korelasi antara kadar homosistein serum dan derajat keparahan psoriasis vulgaris, yang diukur dengan metode psoriasis area severity index (PASI) dan luas permukaan tubuh (body surface area, BSA). Metode: penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan potong lintang, pada 36 pasien psoriasis vulgaris. Subyek terdiri dari16 perempuan dan 20 laki-laki. Kadar homosistein serum diukur dengan metode competitive immunoassay dan dikorelasikan dengan derajat keparahan psoriasis. Hasil: pada subyek psoriasis laki-laki, kadar homosistein serum berkorelasi positif dengan derajat keparahan penyakit yang diukur dengan PASI (korelasi Pearson, r = 0.615 , p < 0,05) dan BSA (korelasi Spearman , r = 0,476 , p < 0,05). Tidak ada korelasi antara kadar homosistein serum dengan PASI (korelasi Pearson , p > 0,05 ) dan BSA (korelasi Spearman, p > 0,05) pada subyek psoriasis perempuan. Kesimpulan: Terdapat korelasi positif yang signifikan secara statistik antara kadar homosistein serum dengan derajat keparahan psoriasis yang diukur dengan PASI dan BSA pada subyek psoriasis laki-laki.

Background: hyperhomocysteinemia is an independent risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Psoriasis vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory skin disease associated with several comorbidities, such as atherosclerosis and CVD. Psoriatic patients often presents low levels of folic acid as a result of an increasing vitamin utilization in the skin and/or reduced gut absorption. This may result in raised levels of homocysteine. The authors investigated the correlation between serum homocysteine levels and the severity of psoriasis vulgaris measured by psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) and body surface area (BSA). Method: we performed a cross-sectional study in 36 patients with psoriasis vulgaris. The subjects comprised 16 women and 20 men. The serum levels of homocysteine were measured by competitive immunoassay method and were correlated with the severity of psoriasis (PASI and BSA). Result: in male psoriasis subjects, serum homocysteine levels positively correlated with disease severity as measured by PASI (Pearson's correlation; r = 0.615, p < 0.05) and BSA (Spearman's correlation; r = 0.476, p < 0.05). There was no correlation between serum homocysteine levels with PASI (Pearson's correlation, p > 0.05) and BSA (Spearman's correlation, p > 0.05) in female psoriasis subjects. Conclusion: a significant correlation between serum homocysteine levels with disease severity measured by PASI and BSA in male psoriasis subjects was evidenced."
