Split je najveći grad u Dalmaciji, drugi po veličini grad u Hrvatskoj, druga je po veličini hrvatska luka i treća luka na Mediteranu po broju putnika. Gradsko središte čini starovjekovna Dioklecijanova palača iz 4. stoljeća (pod UNESCO-vom zaštitom od 1979. godine), što je jedinstven primjer u svijetu. Veličinom drugi grad u Republici Hrvatskoj i najveći hrvatski grad na istočnoj obali Jadranskog mora smjestio se između rijeka Žrnovnice na istoku i Jadra na zapadu. Grad koji nudi hlad marjanske šume na zapadnom dijelu poluotoka, 15 kilometara šetnica uz more i dalmatinsku pjesmu na kamenim ulicama staroga grada, smješten na jednom od najsunčanijih dijelova srednjeg Mediterana poznat je i po svojim klimatskim pogodnostima, mjerljivim i kroz 2700 sunčanih sati godišnje. Split je važno hrvatsko, mediteransko kulturno središte, po veličini danas i drugi sveučilišni centar u Hrvatskoj, a poslije Zagreba ima i najveći broj diplomatskih, konzularnih, odnosno predstavništava međunarodnih organizacija u Hrvatskoj. Split, kao grad na moru i jedna od najznačajnijih turističkih destinacija u Hrvatskoj. posjeduje i snažnu brodograđevnu industriju te razvijeno građevinsko poduzetništvo, ali i prerađivačku industriju. Split je i središte informatičke djelatnosti te sjedište jednoga od najvećih trgovinskih lanaca u Hrvatskoj. S obzirom na broj stanovnika Split se svrstava i u među gradove s najuspješnijim sportašima koji su osvajali olimpijska, svjetska i europska odličja u plivanju, vaterpolu, veslanju, jedrenju, nogometu, košarci, rukometu, atletici, borilačkim sportovima… 24 VI Master Class on Vitiligo and Pigmentary Disorders - ‘‘Innovative Therapies in Dermatology Symposium’’ POZDRAVNA RIJEČ / WELCOME ADDRESS Split je i grad za kojega će kroničar lako zapisati kako on živi svojim usporenim ritmom, na koji ćete se brzo priviknuti. Taj osjećaj da je ovdje svaki dan praznik, trgovi, restorani i kafići prepuni ljudi i nezaobilazna “riva”, kojom ljeti gospodari blagi osvježavajući maestral, a zimi, kao zimski kaput, mediteransko sunce i palača štite od hladnoće, i sve to se može izraziti jednostavnom konstatacijom - osjećaš se kao kod kuće.

Split is not only an urban, cultural and traffic centre of Dalmatia with road and sea connections to Dalmatia’s numerous summer resorts, but it is itself often a tourist and excursionists destination. A city with a 1700-year old tradition, a variety of archaeological, historical and cultural monuments, among which the well-known Palace of Diocletian, inscribed into the UNESCO World Heritage List, certainly occupies a special position, and the warmth and offer of a modern Mediterranean city. The first detailed tourist guide through the town and its surroundings, published in 1894, bears witness to the long tourist tradition in Split. To be able to grasp the historical significance of the city, one should first visit the museums of Split: the Museum of Croatian Archaeological Monuments - a capital Croatian cultural project, established in 1893 in Knin; the Archaeological Museum from 1820, one of the oldest in Croatia; the Treasury of the Split Cathedral, including a valuable collection of religious art; the Ethnographic Museum, founded in 1910; the Museum of Marine History; the Museum of Natural Science. The Art Gallery, established in 1931, the Collection of the Franciscan Monastery in Poljud, the Mestrovic Gallery, and other are also worth visiting. Split is a major sports centre (the 1979 Mediterranean Games) with many famous and popular sports clubs and competitors. There are also many sports facilities for recreational purposes. The sports offer includes almost all types of water and other sports, from football, basketball and tennis to mountain climbing and rifle-shooting, water skiing and rowing. Worth visiting is Marjan Forest Park, the green oasis the citizens of Split have been proud of for generations, carefully maintained and cherished. The park includes promenades, vista points, solariums, nature paths, playgrounds and the Split zoo. A marvellous view is offered from the top of Marjan on the old and new parts of Split. It takes only 15 minutes of pleasant walking to reach Marjan from the historical core of Split through the old quarter Varos. The Marjan stairway, running along the crest of the hill, leads to another, higher top of Marjan, Telegrin, with a vista point offering prospect on the Split peninsula, Kozjak, Mosor, the Kastela Gulf, Salona and Klis, Trogir and Ciovo, and the islands of Solta, Brac, Hvar and Vis. The southern cliffs of Marjan represent in recent times a very good training ground for mountaineers and free climbers, who gather here every April on the occasion of the traditional Marjan Cup. 25 VI Master Class on Vitiligo and Pigmentary Disorders VI. edukativni skup o vitiligu i poremećajima pigmentacije - ‘‘Inovativne dermatološke terapije’’ 25 Split has a variety of restaurants and wine cellars, offering domestic specialities. There are many beaches and public beaches in the city and its surroundings, the most popular of them being Bacvice, a sand beach almost in the very heart of the town.

Mirna Šitum, Suzana Ožanić Bulić Department of Dermatology and Venereology, University Hospital Center “Sestre milosrdnice”, Zagreb, Croatia; [email protected] Pigmentary disorders are aetiologically complex part of general and corrective dermatology, medical cosmetology, as well as dermatological oncology, requiring interdisciplinary approach in diagnostics and treatment. Negative psychological impact of pigmentary disorders on patients’ quality of life prompts the need for successful treatment, and if necessary, aesthetic correction. This, along with positive change in physical appearance resulting in higher self-confidence and general mental health, is motivation to study this complex field of skin disorders, mostly of unknown aetiology and modest treatment results. Pigmentary disorders cover not only wide area of skin diseases, but also systemic disorders causing hyper or hypopigmentation of the skin. Other important causes of skin pigmentary disorders are environmental factors, malignancies, or even habits. Hyperpigmentation characterized by increased melanin synthesis from unchanged number of melanocytes are called melanotic hyperpigmentations. Less common are melanocytic hyperpigmentations resulting from increased number of melanocytes. Depending on the level 28 VI Master Class on Vitiligo and Pigmentary Disorders - ‘‘Innovative Therapies in Dermatology Symposium’’ POZDRAVNA RIJEČ / WELCOME ADDRESS of melanin deposition, epidermal, dermal and mixed, epidermo-dermal hyperpigmentation can be seen. Epidermal hyperpigmentation is characterised by brown colour resulting from increased amount of melanin in the epidermis, and is also known as melanoderma. Melanoderma has several causes; hyperproduction of melanosomes with increased transport to keratinocytes, increased size of melanosomes, or decreased keratinocyte turnover, leading to keratinocytes overloaded with melanosomes. Dermal hyperpigmentation result from melanim accumulation in dermis, also known as coeruloderma, after characteristic blue-gray colour. Accumulation of melanin in the epidermis and dermis gives brown-gray colour of mixed type hyperpigmentation. Hyperpigmentation of the skin can also be classified as localized or diffuse depending on the affected area, or linear and reticulate in relation to distribution and clinical features of pigmentation. Most common causes of localized hyperpigmentation are melasma, aging spots (lentigines) and postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Diffuse hyperpigmentation can result from systemic disorders like endocrinopathies, drug administration and application of various physical and chemical substances. Linear PIH most commonly occurs on anterior trunk and lateral limbs. Bleomicyn treatment or increased intake of uncooked or partially cooked shitake mushrooms result in flagellate hyperpigmentation. Another type of linear hyperpigmentation along Blaschko lines represents pathways of epidermal cell migration and proliferation during the development of the foetus, present in many inherited and some acquired skin disorders. Inherited skin disorders resulting in reticulated hyperpigmentation pattern are genodermatoses like Dyskeratosis congenita, Naegeli-Franceschetti-Jaddassohn syndrome, Dermopathia pigmentosa reticularis, X-linked reticulate pigmentation, Dowling-Degos disease and Reticulated acropigmentation of Kitamura. Erythema ab igne represents a type of acquired reticulate pigmentation of skin as a consequence of prolonged exposure to various sources of heat. Majority of hyperpigmentations are localized on sun exposed, visible skin of the face and hands, causing significant psychological distress to the patient. Hyperpigmentations also include heterogenous group of hyperpigmented skin changes like ephelides, café-au-lait macules, Naevus Becker, melanotic macules of mucosae, lentigo simplex, lentiginoses and senile lentigo. Despite recent advances in the treatment, hyperpigmentation remains a therapeutic challenge for physicians and patients. The other end of pigmentary disorders comprises of hypopigmentations that result from decreased quantity of melanin in the epidermis. There are two major types of hypopigmentations, melanocytopenic hypomelanosis, resulting from complete or partial depletion of epidermal or follicular melanocytes due to inherited (impaired differentiation, proliferation or migration of melanoblasts) or acquired factors. Acquired hypopigmentation is usually caused by chemicals, like phenol derivates and hydroquinone, causing loss of pigmentation at the contact site, but also on unexposed skin. Hypopigmentation can appear after cryotherapy, especially in dark skin types. Delayed hypopigmentation may appear even some time after the exposure to potential agents. Chemicals cause selective destruction and apoptosis of melanocytes sometimes permanently impairing the process of re-pigmen- 29 VI Master Class on Vitiligo and Pigmentary Disorders VI. edukativni skup o vitiligu i poremećajima pigmentacije - ‘‘Inovativne dermatološke terapije’’ 29 tation. Vitiligo is another acquired type of hypopigmentation of unknown aetiology due to the loss of functional melanocytes in epidermis and hair follicles. Melanopenic hypomelanosis is characterized by unchanged number of epidermal and hair follicle melanocytes, but the amount of melanin is reduced or the transport of melanin from melanocytes to keratinocytes is impaired. Example of the latter is postinflammatory hypomelanosis, common in dark skin types and resulting from increased mitotic rate of keratinocytes and decreased cell turn-over. It is most common in psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, sarcoidosis, lichen sclerosus, lichen striatus, lupus erythematosus, mycosis fungoides and pityriasis lichenoides chronica. Complete loss of pigment is rarely seen in postinflammatory hypopigmentation and rarely occurs in atopic dermatitis and lupus erythematosus. Infective cause of pigment loss is seen with fungal infections of the skin, e.g. Microsporosis, Pityriasis versicolor, Lepra, Treponemal infections (non-venerical syphilis), Onchocerciasis, after Herpes zoster infection or Kala-azar disease. Halo naevus or Naevus Sutton is melanocytic naevus with acquired hypopigmentation caused by autoimmune reaction due to production of cytotoxic autoantibodies or cytotoxic T-lymphocytes characterized by destruction of melanocytes, ultimately leading to disappearance of the naevus. Histopathology is showing junctional, intradermal or combined naevus surrounded by dense lymphocyte and fibrohystiocyte infiltrate with complete loss of melanin in depigmented area. In conclusion, although most pigmentary disorders are benign in nature, they present cosmetic and psychological challenges to the patient, necessitating evaluation and treatment. Proper diagnosis will allow the physician to facilitate appropriate treatment and reassure patient. sunčanih sati godišnje.

Recent discoveries about the pathogenesis of vitiligo have led to the development of new therapies. In particular, developments in phototherapy, one of the cornerstones of treatment for vitiligo, has made available new treatments such as Microphototherapy with UVB narrow band excimer laser and monochromatic excimer light. These therapies are able to give good results both in patients with generalized vitiligo and in those with focal and segmental vitiligo. In addition to steroids, topical medical treatment include derivatives of vitamin D, calcineurin inhibitors up 30 VI Master Class on Vitiligo and Pigmentary Disorders - ‘‘Innovative Therapies in Dermatology Symposium’’ POZDRAVNA RIJEČ / WELCOME ADDRESS to the promising possible use of products based on prostaglandin E or antioxidants. The actions of some topical treatments is furtherly enhanced when combined with light therapy, thus increasing the therapeutic outcome. Ultraviolet-B (UVB) phototherapy is a well-established mode of treatment for several types of dermatological disease. For vitiligo, narrow band UVB (NB-UVB) phototherapy is an effective therapy, demonstrating greater efficacy and safety compared to broadband UVB or psoralen plus UVA treatments. While the treatment efficacy of NB-UVB artificial light sources is well documented, the long term time and cost commitment of the therapy remains a barrier to treatment adherence. Natural sunlight is an ideal source of accessible UVB radiation; however, exposure to natural sunlight generally results in erythema prior to the accumulation of sufficient dosage of therapeutic wavelengths of UVB. This communication describes a novel topical cream designed to selectively deliver NB-UVB therapy when exposed to sunlight. The topical cream (Photocil) when combined with natural sunlight could offer patients a more convenient phototherapy option for psoriasis and vitiligo, potentially increasing patient compliance.

It is a multifactorial disorder related to both genetic and nongenetic factors. In patients with complete depigmentation, the differential diagnosis includes chemical or drug-induced (e.g. imatinib, mesilat, potent corticosteroid) leukoderma, post-inflammatory depigmentation, leukoderma associated with underlaying melanoma, sleroderma, late stage of treponematosis and onchocerciasis. In young persons with single circular lesions on the trunk, a halo nevus sould be considered. Early onset of slight hypopigmentation and depigmentation during childhood, must arouse suspicion towards diagnosis of nevus depigmentosus or different genodermatoses, respectively. Various physical (burns, frostbites), and chemical factors (arsen, monobenzyl hydroquinone, azaleic acid, benzolyl peroxid) can produce lesions similar to vitiligo, as well as mycosis fungoides, and hereditary disorders of metabolism. Early lesions or those with partial loss of pigment need to be distinguished from postinflammatory hypopigmentation, pityriasis versicolor and other cutaneous infections. 31 VI Master Class on Vitiligo and Pigmentary Disorders VI. edukativni skup o vitiligu i poremećajima pigmentacije - ‘‘Inovativne dermatološke terapije’’ 31 I V 4 – VITILIGO AS A SYSTEMIC DISEASE . .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..................................................................... Vedrana Bulat Department of Dermatology and Venereology, University Hospital Center «Sestre milosrdnice», Zagreb, Croatia; [email protected] The final consequence in pathogenesis of vitiligo is the loss of functional, mature melanocytes of the skin. Occasionally, internal organs containing melanocytes may also be affected. Recent investigations are suggesting that melanocytes are more than melanin-producing cells. The melanocytes are likely to have a number of extra-pigmentary abilities. Melanocytes are found at many locations throughout the body. Certain tissues (e.g. inner ear, eye, leptomeninges, heart) where melanocytes are found serve primarily for conducting the action potential. That could also be the case with melanocytes within the epidermis. During the embryonic development, melanocytes and neurons evolve from the same primary germ layer (ectoderm). Melanocytes are aligned in a cyclic, regular arrangement on the basal membrane. Why are melanocytes aligned in such an ordered manner on the basal membrane? It is possible that melanocytes, apart from the visible pigment production, have a role in the conduction of some kind of impulse within the epidermis. Nonsegmental vitiligo has been significantly associated with various cutaneous and noncutaneous diseases. At first glance, vitiligo and diseases such as atopic dermatitis, diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid arthritis, and chronic urticaria, appear to be quite different. However, they have common genetic risk factors, which implies that they share a similar pathogenesis, mainly autoimmune pathogenesis. There has also been found an increased incidence of autoantibodies against melanocytes and several other types of autoantibodies. Introduction of systemic biologic treatments for nonsegmental vitiligo confirms the hypothesis that it is a systemic disease and it should be treated with systemic agents. Despite obvious clinical differences, vitiligo and associated cutaneous and noncutaneous diseases share many important similarities that may help us to better understand their immunopathogeneses, and develop new treatments for our patients. 32 VI Master Class on Vitiligo and Pigmentary Disorders - ‘‘Innovative Therapies in Dermatology Symposium’’ POZDRAVNA RIJEČ / WELCOME ADDRESS I V 5 – PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF VITILIGO .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .....................................................................

Szepietowski Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Allergology, Wroclaw Medical University, Wroclaw, Poland; [email protected] Vitiligo is a chronic skin disease with loss of pigment resulting in irregular pale patches of skin. The disease is considered in the spectrum of psychodermatological disorders with profound psychological consequences. One may argue that psychological factors, like stressful life evens, contribute to the etiology and the chronic course of the disease, but it is also of importance that vitiligo influences heavily patient’s well being, especially in subjects with patches localized on visible skin areas and in those with dark skin. In many societies the disease is poorly understood and is believed to be a sign of leprosy or sexually transmitted disease. Women suffering from vitiligo in different parts of the world still have difficulties in getting married. Patients are stigmatized, with significantly lowered quality of life. Both mental and physical components are affected. Their quality of life is more decreased than patients with chronic inflammatory diseases, such as psoriasis. Many patients feel embarrassment and shame. The depression and anxiety are diagnosed even in up to 40% of vitiligo subjects. In summary, vitiligo has devastating effect on patient. Therefore, there is a need for effective treatment options. The benefit of offering adjunctive psychological support should always be taken into consideration in holistic approach to the therapy of vitiligo patients.

However, the lack of melanine may involve greater photodamage and thus an increase risk of melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancer. It is of interest that immunotherapy studies in a number of patients with melanoma have resulted in the development of skin depigmentation resembling vitiligo and that these patients have a more favorable prognosis for their tumor. Recent studies showed that patients with vitiligo have a decreased risk of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer. 33 VI Master Class on Vitiligo and Pigmentary Disorders VI. edukativni skup o vitiligu i poremećajima pigmentacije - ‘‘Inovativne dermatološke terapije’’ 33 I V 7 – VITILIGO IN EVERYDAY LIFE – PRACTICAL ADVICES . .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..................................................................... Igor Bartenjev Private practice and University of Ljubljana School of Medicine, Ljubljana, Slovenia; [email protected] Vitiligo is a common dermatological disorder that influence on patient’s quality of life, especially due to aesthetic impact and sensitivity to sun rays. It s a chronic skin disease characterized by portions of the skin losing their pigment. Aside from cases of contact with certain chemicals, the cause of vitiligo is unknown. Research suggests vitiligo may arise from autoimmune, genetic, oxidative stress, neural, or viral causes. Vitiligo is typically classified into two main categories: segmental and non-segmental vitiligo. The only sign of vitiligo is the presence of pale patchy areas of depigmented skin which tend to occur on the extremities. The patches are initially small, but often grow and change shape. When skin lesions occur, they are most prominent on the face, hands and wrists. The loss of skin pigmentation is particularly noticeable around body orifices, such as the mouth, eyes, nostrils, genitalia and umbilicus. Although multiple theories have been suggested as potential triggers that cause vitiligo, studies have most strongly implicated changes in the immune system as being responsible for the condition. Vitiligo has been proposed to be a multifactorial disease with genetic susceptibility and environmental factors both thought to play a role. Variations in genes that are part of the immune system or part of melanocytes have both been associated with vitiligo. A genomewide association study found approximately 36 independent susceptibility for generalized vitiligo. During the first visit of a patient, who often do not know anything about vitiligo it is very important to give a basic information about the disease and its course. Doctors duty is to look for diseases that can be associated with vitiligo such as autoimmune and inflammatory diseases i.e. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes, psoriasis, Addison disease, pernicious anemia, alopecia areata, and systemic lupus erythematosus. Diagnosis is usually simple, with only clinical inspection. Rarely vitiligo can be similar to: pityriasis alba, postinflammatory hypopigmentations, pityriasis versicolor, albinism, piebaldism, idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis, progressive macular hypomelanosis, tuberculoid leprosy. There is no cure for vitiligo but several treatment options are available. The best evidence is for applied steroids and the combination of UV light in combination with creams. Phototherapy is required twice a week for 6–12 months or longer. In last years due to the higher risks of skin cancer, experts suggests phototherapy only to be used if primary treatments are ineffective. Our suggestion for first-line vitiligo treatment are topical preparations of immune suppressing medications including glucocorticoids (such as 0.05% clobetasol or 0.10% betamethasone) and calcineurin inhibitors (tacrolimus or pimecrolomus). In general, non-segmental vitiligo responds to treatment better than the segmental form. Lesions located on the hands, feet, and joints are the most difficult to repigment; those on the 34 VI Master Class on Vitiligo and Pigmentary Disorders - ‘‘Innovative Therapies in Dermatology Symposium’’ POZDRAVNA RIJEČ / WELCOME ADDRESS face repigment most easy. In mild cases, vitiligo patches can be hidden with makeup or other cosmetic camuflage solutions. In cases of extensive vitiligo the option to de-pigment the unaffected skin with topical drugs like monobenzone, mequinol, hydroquinone may be considered to render the skin an even colour. The removal of all the skin pigment with monobenzone is permanent and vigorous. Depigmentation takes about a year to complete. Some surgical techniques are known from skin transplantation, as grafting and melanocytes transplanting to vitiligo affected areas, but are not used widely.

Natasa Teovska Mitrevska ReMedika General Hospital, Dermatology Department, Skopje, Macedonia; [email protected] Skin disease is often obvious and very visible to others. Those who suffer from skin diseases have to cope not only with the effects of their disease, but also with the reaction of others to their condition. Visible disfigurement, whether present at birth or acquired later in life, can have a profound psychological, physical, social and occupational impact. To assess the full impact of skin disorders on a person’s quality of life, it is important to consider four different aspects: physical, psychological, social and occupational impact. Measuring QoL is important because it is used for making decisions especially about non clinical aspects of the disease. It is also used for improvement of the doctor-patient relationship. It is important in discovery of functional and psychological limitations, and in choosing the treatment in the initial phase of disease. Holistic approach is essential in dealing with dermatological disorders, because of the profound and the far-reaching effects not only of the diseases, but also of treatments. It is necessary to talk to patients and discuss the impact of their disease, how they cope with it and how they feel about it. Vitiligo represents an emblematic case: often disfiguring and located in visible areas, confused in the past (and, in many world regions, even in the present) with leprosy, often perceived by physicians as a harmless, purely cosmetic problem, it significantly decreases the quality of life of affected persons. After a brief overview on definition, usefulness and methods for the assessment of quality of life, the author examines the peculiarities of its relationship with skin diseases, particularly vitiligo. Multidisciplinary approach is essential for better quality of life in vitiligo patients, and the team for achieving this is health professionals, groups of patients, support communities, associations and societies. 35 VI Master Class on Vitiligo and Pigmentary Disorders VI. edukativni skup o vitiligu i poremećajima pigmentacije - ‘‘Inovativne dermatološke terapije’’ 35 I V 9 – VITILIGO AND HYPERPIGMENTATION DISORDERS - WHAT’S MUTUAL? . .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..................................................................... Ivana Binić Clinic for Dermatovenerology, Medical Faculty, Niš, Serbia; [email protected] Cutaneous pigmentation is the outcome of two important events: the synthesis of melanin by melanocytes and the transfer of melanosomes to surrounding keratinocytes. Although the number of melanocytes in human skin of all types is essentially constant, the number, size, and manner in which melanosomes are distributed within keratinocytes vary. Pigmentation disorders include a large number of heterogeneous conditions that are usually characterized by altered melanocyte density, melanin concentration, or both, and result in altered pigmentation of the skin. Melanin production results from strong cellular and molecular connections between all cell populations in the skin and the key players besides melanocytes, are fibroblasts and keratinocytes. Minor changes in the cellular physiology of the skin can dramatically affect pigment production in positive or negative manners. When disturbed, it may determine different types of pigmentation defects, which are classified as hypo or hyperpigmentation and which may occur with or without an altered number of melanocytes. These two groups of disorders are different, but in the center of both is melanocyte with all associated cells, processes, regulatory genes. Key questions that remain to be answered include what are the signal (s) that modulate melanocyte stem cells’ awakening from and return to quiescence and to determine what are the signals modulating melanocyte death during catagen? Also, interesting questions may be about role of vitamin D and calcium in regulating process of pigmentation. Despite the differences between vitiligo and hyperpigmentation disorders, a better understanding of their etiopathogenesis and all the complex interactions between regulators of the melanogenesis and finding their mutual characteristics will help in the future in finding better therapeutic options for both types of disorders. 36 VI Master Class on Vitiligo and Pigmentary Disorders - ‘‘Innovative Therapies in Dermatology Symposium’’ POZDRAVNA RIJEČ / WELCOME ADDRESS I V 10 – PHOTOTHERAPY AND EXCIMER LASER TREATMENT FOR VITILIGO .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .....................................................................

PUVA (psoralen and UVA radiation), a standard treatment in the past, is done 2–3 times weekly. The most common complication with PUVA is overdosage and severe burning. Narrow-band ultraviolet (NB-UVB) light has a wavelength of 311 ± 2 nm. It has been claimed as the UV treatment of choice for vitiligo. The efficacy of NB-UVB is comparable to that of PUVA, with the some advantages, such as the absence of psoralen side effects and reduced cumulative radiation dose and photocarcinogenesis. Furthermore, it can be safely used in children and in pregnant women. Sessions are repeated two or three times a week for a maximum period of 6–18 months. The best results are achieved on the face, followed by the trunk and limbs. The poorest outcomes have been noted for lesions on the hands and feet. The 308-nm excimer laser emits a monochromatic light of 308 nm and produces faster repigmentation rates than any other medical method so far reported.

Classification of the disease is based on the distribution of lesions. Unilateral depigmented macules following segmental (dermatomal) or focal (quasidermatomal) pattern are considered as localized vitiligo. Generalized type of the disease includes acrofacial pattern involving face and distal extremities, vitiligo vulgaris with widespread, usually symmetrically distributed lesions and universal vitiligo with complete or nearly complete depigmentation of the body. Mucosal vitiligo may be classified as localized with involvement on one mucosal surface, or as generalized type of the disease in cases when typical depigmented macules are 37 VI Master Class on Vitiligo and Pigmentary Disorders VI. edukativni skup o vitiligu i poremećajima pigmentacije - ‘‘Inovativne dermatološke terapije’’ 37 presented in more than one mucosal area.

Joelle Nonni Avène hydrotherapy centre, Avène, France; [email protected] As we live in a society very much concerned about physical appearance, looking as good as possible has become everyone’s objective. Consequently, unsightly skin imperfections can have a dramatic and highly negative impact on the patient’s personal, social or working life. The medical corrective make-up thus represents the alternative solution that helps to gain back one’s self-confidence notably in the case of visible dermatoses. Patients suffering from vitiligo can use medical corrective make-up on the face and body; both men and women alike. This specific line of make-up has to be hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, water-resistant and with sun protection. It does not clog pores or promote acne or irritation. The technique of the medical corrective make-up includes at least 3 steps: 1) A make-up base (day cream) adapted to the skin type or a sun protection,2) A compact foundation which provides a perfect coverage,3) A mosaic translucent powder to fix the make-up. To increase the result and apply less make-up, it is also possible to apply a self-tanner 2 or 3 times by week. However, to realise a quick corrective make up with a nice result, some tips are interesting to teach patients. Medical corrective make-up helps patients to feel once again good about themselves. Also medical corrective make-up can give to the patients who suffer from vitiligo more confidence and lessen feelings of self-consciousness, nervousness and anxiety. Once make-up is applied and skin imperfections concealed, the patient’s self-confidence gradually comes back. Finally, the patients’ quality of life is significantly improved. 38 VI Master Class on Vitiligo and Pigmentary Disorders - ‘‘Innovative Therapies in Dermatology Symposium’’ POZDRAVNA RIJEČ / WELCOME ADDRESS I V 13 – VITILIGO TREATMENT GUIDELINES - WHERE ARE WE NOW? .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..................................................................... Andrija Stanimirović Department of Clinical Medicine, University of Applied Health Sciences and Private Dermatovenereology Office, Zagreb, Croatia; [email protected] Although vitiligo is an asymptomatic disease, it can have severe consequences on patients’ quality of life and physical health. Available treatment options are aimed on stopping of the disease spreading, induction of repigmentation and achieving of sufficient cosmetic results. Vitiligo is neither contagious nor life threatening disease so it is often widely assumed that problems which affect the patients just have a cosmetic nature. Due to this matter, vitiligo is considered as an orphan disease and unfortunately, many physicians (including dermatologists) still consider vitiligo to be an incurable disease and are not familiar with available therapeutic options. Here we present five therapeutic algorithms for vitiligo treatment constituted from different worldwide working groups and organizations in the last few years. The following therapeutic options include mainly topical corticosteroids, topical calcineurin inhibitors, topical vitamin D3 analogues, phototherapy (PUVA and NBUVB), oral corticosteroids, antioxidants, laser and surgical therapy. A group of British authors established algorithm for the management of vitiligo in adults and children by non-specialists in 2010. One year after, group of authors from USA suggests their algorithm for dermatologists. The European Dermatology Forum Consensus presented algorithms for the management of patients with nonsegmental or segmental vitiligo in 2013, the same year when Japanese authors provided their proposal of the algorithm for the management of vitiligo in Japan. Considering available guidelines for the management of vitiligo, both available and unavailable therapeutic options in Croatia, and our clinical experience we have established our guidelines for the management of vitiligo in Croatia in 2014. This proposal and selection of specific therapeutic options in several lines are based on international up-to-date guidelines in accordance with evidence based medicine. 39 VI Master Class on Vitiligo and Pigmentary Disorders VI. edukativni skup o vitiligu i poremećajima pigmentacije - ‘‘Inovativne dermatološke terapije’’ 39 I V 14 – VITILIGO CLOUD BANK: BIO-IT SYSTEM FOR PATIENTS, DOCTORS AND INVESTIGATORS . .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .....................................................................

Vitiligo treatment development is an unattractive field for pharmaceutical companies due to lack of understanding of the pathophysiology of this multifactorial disease. Available generics have average efficacy and safety profiles, lack in ceasing the disease progression and unsuccessful in meeting the demand.The study of vitiligo requires comparison of large numbers of affected and unaffected individuals, and comparisons within patients’ cohort to reveal disease subtypes and responsiveness to a particular treatment. We applied a cutting edge approach to bio-informatics, bio-banking, digital healthcare technologies, and in-depth scientific knowledge to build Vitiligo CloudBank, the first disease-specific electronic health record in vitiligo. It condenses large volumes of research-quality data, enabling investigators to cross-analyze multiple profiles, treatments and lab results. Vitiligo CloudBank allows patients to register anonymously online, record vitiligo symptoms and monitor disease progression and treatment outcomes over time.

The cost of multiple doctor visits during the demanding treatment regimen has resulted in low compliance, limiting access to this safe and effective mode of treatment. Here we present a novel topical cream that selectively filters solar radiation to deliver narrow-band UVB to vitiligo lesions from solar radiation. Numerous studies have demonstrated that natural sunlight therapy at the dead sea in Israel provides therapeutic efficacy 40 VI Master Class on Vitiligo and Pigmentary Disorders - ‘‘Innovative Therapies in Dermatology Symposium’’ POZDRAVNA RIJEČ / WELCOME ADDRESS for vitiligo patients on par with artificial broad-band and narrow-band UVB phototherapy; however, similar treatments at locals at or above sea level fail due to the development of erythema prior to sufficient therapeutic dosage. We conducted a pilot study at sea level to assess the efficacy of a novel topical cream that selectively filters non-therapeutic wavelengths of UVB from natural sunlight and delivers treatment for acrofacial vitiligo. Our results demonstrate that the novel topical cream can provide a convenient alternative to artificial light phototherapy.

Igor Korobko VR Foundation, New York, USA; [email protected] Vitiligo is currently considered as a predominantly autoimmune disorder thus interventions with immunomodulating capacity provide a rational solution to halt vitiligo progression. Indeed, conventional treatments capable to stop progression of vitiligo, narrow-band ultraviolet B and systemic steroids, both are known to have immunosuppressive activity. While a number of experimental treatments were tested for their capacity to cope with vitiligo spreading, their widespread use is limited owing to frequent side effects or inconvenient and lengthy course of treatment, besides the efficiency of available options is not absolute. Therefore there is a need for new safe and convenient options to fight vitiligo progression, with immunomodulating compounds, owing to their frequently good safety profile and autoimmune nature of vitiligo, being attractive candidates. Here, available options to stop vitiligo progression are overviewed, with the most recent developments in the field, namely the use of non-steroid immunomodulators, being discussed in details. 41 VI Master Class on Vitiligo and Pigmentary Disorders VI. edukativni skup o vitiligu i poremećajima pigmentacije - ‘‘Inovativne dermatološke terapije’’ 41 I V 17 – LOW-DOSE ORAL CYTOKINES THERAPY FOR VITILIGO : THE FUTURE IS HERE . .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..................................................................... Torello Lotti Institute of Dermatology, University of Rome “G. Marconi”, Rome, Italy; [email protected] Vitiligo is a skin disorder characterized by a progressive depigmentation which is caused by the loss of melanocytes at the cutaneous level. The causes of melanocyte loss are still unclear, but a relevant number of observations lead researchers to ascribe cellular immunity as having an important role in vitiligo pathogenesis. In vitiligo, the observed imbalance in cytokine expression at cutaneous lesions level both on the border of affected area with healthy skin and in the center of the spot, is probably due to a shift of the immune system with a prevalence of Th1/ Th17 (high IL-1 and IL-17 levels) response instead of a Tregs/Th2 one (low IL-4 level) and may be part of etiology of this autoimmune disease. TNF-α also has a pivotal role in oxidative stressmediated cytotoxicity directed against melanocytes and keratinocytes and sustained by T-cells and B-cells activation. Apoptosis of keratinocytes is a key event in Vitiligo onset. Keratinocytes produce a number of growth factors that support the viability of the melanocytes through paracrine action. Among these factors, the basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF or FGF2) is a potent regulator of melanocytes proliferation, differentiation and function; there is an inverse correlation between the levels of TNF-α and bFGF in the presence of vitiligo and low levels of bFGF are responsible of melanocytes death and, finally, of skin lesion depigmentation. TNF-α is, therefore, a key player of cell-mediated autoimmune response and inflammation, responsible of the keratinocytes apoptosis. It is therefore arguable that the inflammatory phenomenon supported by this cytokine and the breaking down of the paracrine crosstalk between keratinocytes and melanocytes are central events in inducing and sustaining vitiligo and thus represents one of the key targets within a therapeutic strategy based on deep knowledge of the etiology of the disease. In the last years, sustained by a critical mass of scientific evidences, a new pharmacological concept is raising the interest of the scientific community: the low dose cytokines therapy, part of Low Dose Medicine (LDM) paradigm. LDM medical approach (born from the fusion of the most recent knowledge in the fields of Molecular Biology, PNEI and nano-concentrations research is founded on the use of biological signaling molecules that control and guide the homeostatic functions in order to restore the physiological homeostasis) is based on the use of nano-concentrations of cytokines (in the 42 VI Master Class on Vitiligo and Pigmentary Disorders - ‘‘Innovative Therapies in Dermatology Symposium’’ POZDRAVNA RIJEČ / WELCOME ADDRESS range of pg/ml), administered orally in order to achieve a systemic effect. The availability of low-dose medicines containing nano-concentrations (in the range of pg/ ml) and Sequentially Kinetic-Activated (SKA) cytokines and growth factors represents a unique opportunity for the study of an innovative immunological therapeutic approach for vitiligo treatment. The therapeutic use of SKA low dose bFGF (Guna S.p.a. – Italy) is aimed at improving the stimulation of the residual population of melanocytes (via up-regulation of trans-membrane receptors) mimicking the paracrine signaling exerted, in physiological conditions, by keratinocytes. The effect of bFGF is improved if in association with the pool of anti-inflammatory cytokines that acts reducing the apoptotic phenomena and the cytotoxicity mediated by TNF-α. The anti-inflammatory SKA low dose molecules pool is composed by Anti-IL-1; IL-4 and IL-10. Anti-IL-1 is useful in the reduction of IL-1-mediated acute inflammation, present in perilesional region; IL-4 exerts an effective control against autoimmune triggers, reducing cell-mediated cytotoxicity; IL-10 is the opposing cytokine of both IL-1 and TNF-α and is effective in chronic inflammation control. The use SKA low dose bFGF and specific SKA low dose anti-inflammatory cytokines pool represents a new therapeutic approach for vitiligo strictly based on disease etiology and aimed both to stop the disease progression, through opposing chronic inflammation, and to induce skin repigmentation by direct stimulation of melanocytes. 43 VI Master Class on Vitiligo and Pigmentary Disorders VI. edukativni skup o vitiligu i poremećajima pigmentacije - ‘‘Inovativne dermatološke terapije’’ 43 INOVATIVE THERAPIES (IT) – INVITED SPEAKERS I IT 1 – MANAGEMENT OF ATOPIC DERMATITIS . .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .....................................................................

It follows a relapsing course. Although the pathogenesis of AD is not completely understood, it is thought to result from a complex interplay between disruption of deficient skin barrier function, immune dysfunction, abnormal microbial skin colonization, environmental factors and strong psychosomatic influence. Management of AD remains a clinical challenge where the primary goals are to improve the barrier function, to suppress inflammation and to control microbial colonization. The management should always be adapted to the severity of the AD. Management of AD includes: basic treatment of disturbed skin barrier function and emollient therapy (“skin care”), avoidance strategies (non-specific and specific provocation factors), dietary intervention, topical anti-inflammatory therapy (topical glucocorticosteroids, topical calcineurin inhibitors), antimicrobial therapy, phototherapy, systemic immunosuppressive therapy and others. The key to managing AD is education of the patient, parents and family. It is important to give clear explanations about the disease, the disturbed barrier function and how and why treatments are used. We will present you our knowledge and experience in the management of AD, with an emphasis on the findings reported in the literature over the past few years. 44 VI Master Class on Vitiligo and Pigmentary Disorders - ‘‘Innovative Therapies in Dermatology Symposium’’ POZDRAVNA RIJEČ / WELCOME ADDRESS I IT 2 – PATHOGENESIS AND MANAGEMENT OF ITCH IN ADULT ATOPIC DERMATITIS PATIENTS .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..................................................................... Jacek C. Szepietowski Department of Dermatology, Venreology and Allergology, Wroclaw Medical University, Wroclaw, Poland; [email protected] Itch is an important clinical problem in patients suffering from atopic dermatitis. Its pathogenesis is multifactorial with dermal, neurophathic and neurogenic components. In our recent study we documented that at the time of examination itch was present in more than 80% of patients. Moreover, in another recent study we showed that itch in atopic dermatitis patients plays a crucial role in influencing patients’ psychosocial well-being. Pruritic subjects seem to be more depressed, and the intensity of itch is related to the stress experienced by patients prior to disease exacerbation. As the pathogenesis of itch atopic dermatitis is not completely clear, there is no one treatment of choice available. Based on our experience the most frequently used management regimes are topical emollients and oral antihistamines, but the long-term effects of these agents seem to be very limited. Pruritic subjects should be informed to limit factors exacerbating itch and suggested to avoid overheating of organism, intake of alcohol and hot spices, irritating detergents. They should wear loose cloths of natural material, like cotton is and they should keep their nails short cut to prevent the additional destruction of the skin surface. Concerning the oral antihistamines, the new generation ones are of limited effectiveness. According to the European Guidelines for Atopic Dermatitis the sedative antihistamines are useful in reducing the intensity of itch. Topical corticosteroids, and especially calcineurin inhibitors, are effective local agents. One may also consider creams with structured lipids with endocannobinoids or capsaicin (only very localized itch). Cyclosporin A used in the therapy of atopic dermatitis markedly reduce itch in the vast majority of patients. In very severe chronic cases antidepressants, such as paroxetin, were reported to be beneficial. In the holistic approach psychotherapy should be considered, especially habit-reversal with awareness training. 45 VI Master Class on Vitiligo and Pigmentary Disorders VI. edukativni skup o vitiligu i poremećajima pigmentacije - ‘‘Inovativne dermatološke terapije’’ 45 I IT 3 – THERAPEUTIC APPROACH FOR INTOLERANT SKIN - WHAT TO DO? . .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .....................................................................

Intolerant skin is usually defined as a non-immunologic manifestation of cutaneous hyperreactivity linked to a variety of normally well-tolerated stimuli. It is also described as an inflammatory reaction without a recognition of a specific alergen. Most commonly this disease is described as a facial condition but there are description of patients with manifestations of different localization. There is a number of exogenous factors that can contribute to this condition. Confirming diagnosis is sometimes very difficult and time consuming. There are no guidelines on the therapy of this condition.

It is often cause of a great concern to the patient for cosmetic and psychological reasons. Here we present available therapeutic options for alopecia androgenetica (AGA) and alopecia areata (AA), the most common types of noncicatricial alopecias and also for folliculitis decalvans (FD), one of the most challenging causes of cicatricial alopecia. AGA is an androgen-dependent hair loss which affects roughly 50% of men and perhaps as many women older than 40 years. Topical minoxidil in concentration of 2% and 5% and finasteride are FDA-approved current therapies for androgenetic alopecia in men, whereas 2% minoxidil solution, oral contraceptives and spironolacton are proposed for female patients. Other possible therapeutic options, still mostly under clinical trial phases, include 5-α-reductase inhibitors, androgen receptor antagonists, ATP-sensitive potassium channel openers, growth factors, antioxydants and botanical extracts. AA is autoimmune non-scarring hair loss which affects 0,1-0,2% general population. Because 46 VI Master Class on Vitiligo and Pigmentary Disorders - ‘‘Innovative Therapies in Dermatology Symposium’’ POZDRAVNA RIJEČ / WELCOME ADDRESS of its autoimmune etiopathogenesis, corticosteroids applied topically or intralesionally still remain the cornerstone of initial treatment. Other potential therapies include topical sensitizing agents, photochemotherapy, pulse corticosteroid therapy, antibiotics and biologics. FD presents as an expanding patches of alopecia with peripheral pustules on the scalp resulting with scar formation. Although exact etiopathogenesis is still unknown, in most cases Staphylococcus aureus can be isolated from the pustules. Treatment of this condition consists of systemic antibiotics, topical or intralesional corticosteroids, retinoids or, newly suggested, biologics. Nondrug alopecias therapies such as hair transplantation, low-level laser therapy (LLLT), follicular neogenesis or inductive cell therapy could be beneficial for different forms of hair loss.

Besides, the young, sexually active population in the generative period is mostly affected. Despite some recent hopeful therapeutic developments such as immiquimod, topical green tea derivatives (sinecatechins, polyphenon E) and nitrinzic complex, the therapy of anogenital warts (AGW) remains a medical problem. Both physician- (including cryotherapy, topical cytotoxic therapy, curettage, surgical approach and laser) and self-administered therapeutic approaches are not fully satisfactory. So, treatment of AGW is often frustrating for physicians and patients alike. Ultimately, within the spectrum of therapeutic options for condylomata, no method is really superior to others; recurrences might occur in 30-70% of cases. In general, treatment should be guided by the available resources, the experience of the provider and the preference of the patient. Most recently, a prophylactic vaccine that targets the most relevant HPV DNA types should substantially reduce the burden of the large spectrum of the HPVassociated clinical diseases for both men and women. Besides, a proper dermatological training is required as the clinical criterion is still very important and the HPV-induced lesions get quite often misdiagnosed unless managed by the skilled professionals. We definitely need the HPV vaccination programme to get rid of one of the oldest and up to now unsolved problems of mankind. It can be thus concluded that the HPV-genital infections represent a significant dermato-venereological issue, and the dermatovenereologists should definitely be the part of the HPV management programme team. 47 VI Master Class on Vitiligo and Pigmentary Disorders VI. edukativni skup o vitiligu i poremećajima pigmentacije - ‘‘Inovativne dermatološke terapije’’ 47 I IT 6 – NOVEL TOPICAL CREAM DELIVERS SAFE AND EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVE TO TRADITIONAL PSORIASIS PHOTOTHERAPY . .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .....................................................................

However, children by the age of 12 years can also be affected by acne that is referred to as pediatric acne. On the basis of the time of onset and clinical presentation, pediatric acne may be categorized into four clinical entities: neonatal, infantile, mid-childhood, and preadolescent acne. Neonatal acne (from birth to 6 weeks of age) may be a term used for heterogeneous papulopustular conditions such as neonatal cephalic pustulosis or transient neonatal pustular melanosis, as well as true acne. As neonatal acne is typically self-limited, treatment is usually not necessary. Infantile acne (from 6 weeks to 1 year of age) is more common in boys and usually presents with comedones as well as inflammatory lesions such as papules, pustules or occasionally nodules. Treatment modalities include topical benzoyl peroxide, retinoids, antibiotics or combination of these; whereas more severe cases may require employment of oral antibiotics or isotretinoin. Mid-childhood acne 48 VI Master Class on Vitiligo and Pigmentary Disorders - ‘‘Innovative Therapies in Dermatology Symposium’’ POZDRAVNA RIJEČ / WELCOME ADDRESS (from 1 year to 7 years of age) is very rare and should warrant an endocrinologic workup for causes of an underlying endocrine disorder. Preadolescent acne (from 7 years to 12 years of age or menarche in girls) usually presents as comedonal acne located primarily on the forehead and central face. Treatment of mid-childhood and preadolescent acne is very similar to that used for adolescent acne with the emphasis on the limitation of use of the tetracycline family of oral antibiotics. Furthermore, the approach to pediatric acne should be to use the mildest agents possible with still providing therapeutic efficacy. A basic discussion of reasonable therapeutic expectations and possible side effects is often helpful in maximizing patient compliance.

Claudia Menicanti, Stefano Veraldi Dermatology Unit, University of Milan, Milano, Italy; [email protected] Current therapies of acne involve one or several pathogenic factors. Topical antimicrobial agents and topical and oral antibiotics are used to reduce P. acnes colonization. Topical and oral retinoids manly reduce hyper-proliferation of ductal corneocytes. Finally, estrogens and anti-androgens can be used to reduce the effects of androgens on the sebaceous gland. The choice of the right treatment depends on the type and the severity of the disorder but often local treatments lead to local adverse events such irritant contact dermatitis (ICD) and they must be employed for long periods. For all these reasons and because of the emergence of antibiotic resistance, new nonantibiotic treatments are rising. In order to limit the side effect, without loosing the efficacy, new retinol esters, such as hydroxypinacolone retinoate have been synthesized. This is a new syntetic ester of 9-cis retinoid acid that, combined with papain and RNMF in gel, seems to be very effective with good tolerability and a improvement of compliance. The use of tretinoin as short contact therapy (SCT) seems to be superimposable to that of tretinoin used according to standard modality with a reduction of the incidence and the severity of ICD. Other topical agents such as nicotinamide combined with potassium azeloyl diglycinate and salicylic acid and the glycolic acid combined with retinaldehyde used in monotherapy have shown a significant clinical improvement and high adherence of patients. As an alternative to topical conventional treatment the chemo-exfoliation with salicylic acid (25-30%) peels has many clinical advantages being effective, economical and easy to perform and it also improves the penetration of other active topical agents. Dapsone 5% gel is a new option in topical therapy with more prominent effects in patients treated with oral isotretinoin.

It mainly appears after puberty or in adulthood in almost 5% of Caucasian. There are two basic forms; hereditary with multiple nevi (Dysplastic naevi Syndrome, BK mole syndrome), and non hereditary form that can appear as a single dysplastic nevi or multiple nevi. Dysplastic nevus syndrome occurs in people with a positive family history of melanoma and in 50% of patients with sporadic melanoma. Clinically, dysplastic nevi are unevenly brownish, blackish or yellowish pigmented nevi with bizarre shapes, asymmetric, with polycyclic edges, usually slightly elevated, and greater than 6 mm in diameter. Histological characteristics are variable atypia of melanocytes, increased number of 51 VI Master Class on Vitiligo and Pigmentary Disorders VI. edukativni skup o vitiligu i poremećajima pigmentacije - ‘‘Inovativne dermatološke terapije’’ 51 melanocytes, subepidermal fibroplasia, and a distorted rete ridge pattern with bridging between adjacent rete rides, lamellar fibroplasia and concentric lamellar fibrosis, and sometimes proliferation of blood vessels in the presence of lymphocytic infiltrate in the dermis. Diagnosis is based on the history, clinical and dermatoscope images and patohistological analysis upon surgical excision of the lesion. Differential diagnosis includes malignant melanoma and pigmented basalioma and other types of nevi. The people with dysplastic nevus syndrome or with sporadic dysplastic nevi should be followed up regularly, approximately every 3-6 month, according to the severity of clinical appearance. The follow-up should include examination of the skin, dermatoscope examination and photographic documentation. It is important to educate patient about importance of self-examination and protection from UV radiation. Melanoma is a malignant tumor arising from melanocytes and due to high risk of lymphatic and hematogenous metastases; it is among the most aggressive malignant tumors of the skin and mucous membranes. The worldwide incidence of melanoma is still increasing and it is a great medical and public health problem. In some countries (Western European) there is prolonged survival of the melanoma patients, which can be explained with early detection of melanoma, due to better knowledge, education of the doctors and the patients, and better diagnostic tools. Melanoma is the most common malignancy in Caucasian women, aged 25-29 years, and has the highest mortality among older man. The early detection and the surgical removal increases overall survival up to 95%, while the cure rate in advanced stages is modest. The risk factors for the development of melanoma include positive family and / or personal history of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer, dysplastic nevus, skin type (Fitzpatrick classification) and UV radiation. Melanoma is typically red -brown to blue-back asymmetric tumor that shows visible changes over time (months or years). The rapid onset of the lesion, or changes in the existing nevus that follows ABCDE rule and Ugly Duck rule should be observed by the dermatologist. The clinical features of melanoma can vary on the anatomical localization of the lesion and the type of growth. The four main subtypes of melanoma are superficial spreading melanoma, nodular melanoma, lentigo malignant melanoma and acral lentiginous melanoma, but there are also rarer forms of melanoma such as mucosal melanoma, amelanotic, desmoplastic, verrucous melanoma, metastatic melanoma of unknown primary site. Melanoma can develop lymphatic or hematogenous metastases. The earliest metastases are often found in regional lymph nodes, and the usual site of hematogenous metastases are liver, lungs, bones and brain. The prognosis of melanoma is almost directly related to the degree to which the tumor has invaded the skin. The major independent risk factor is tutor thickness (Breslow depth). There is almost a linear correlation between the measured tumor thickness and 10-year survival. The ulceration of the tumor and an elevated LDH levels significantly worsen the prognosis. In 2001, a new TNM -staging system was introduced by the American Joint Committee on Cancer that includes risk factors and links them to survival. The definitive diagnosis of melanoma is based on patohistological analysis of the excised tissue. It is recommended, whenever possible, to 52 VI Master Class on Vitiligo and Pigmentary Disorders - ‘‘Innovative Therapies in Dermatology Symposium’’ POZDRAVNA RIJEČ / WELCOME ADDRESS completely excise of the tumor, except in cases where it is difficult due to technical or cosmetic reasons (eg. large lentigo maligna on the face and extremities or changes in the mucous membranes). Studies have shown that the incisional biopsy of the suspicious lesion has no effect on the prognosis of patients with melanoma.The key to melanoma therapy is the excision of the primary tumor. The re-excision with an appropriate margin of safety is recommended at the earliest possible time and sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) for thickness of the tumor greater than 1 mm. According to studies, the SLNB has no impact on overall survival, but it is important in staging of the disease and has prognostic significance. If a patient has clinically involved lymph nodes (palpation, sonography, biopsy) then a complete regional lymph node dissection is indicated. Treatment of patients with advanced disease is in the field of the oncologist. The most important contribution the dermatologist can make is the follow up in order to monitor for development of a second primary melanoma and the skin cancers. The outlook for a second primary is far better than for a metastatic tumor. The frequency of follow up depend on tumor thickness and stage of the disease. It is important to check the operation site, in-transit area, regional lymph nodes to identify local recurrences. Palpation alone is not sufficient, so the ultrasonography of the lymph nodes and scars is routinely employed. The yields from routine chest X-rays and blood work are very low. Instead, the promising method is monitoring of serum levels of S 100 B, LDH and tyrosinase levels. In the advanced stages of disease, PET-CT should be performed. Identifying and treating solitary metastases may both prolonged survival and improve patients quality of life. Because of the propensity of melanoma to metastazise many years later and because of 5-10 % chance of second tutors, follow-up for the melanoma patients should be life-long.

AK are the result of chronic exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation and have a low risk of progression to invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). There are many options in the treatment patients with AK: cryosurgery, 5-fluorouracil cream, diclofenak gel, imiquimod cream, photodynamic therapy. Ingenol mebutate is a new option in the topical field treatment for AK.

The most important etiological factor is exposure to ultraviolet radiation and sun exposures in childhood are especially critical in the development of BCC. The treatment of BCC can be divided into surgical and nonsurgical options. Several factors may influence the decision of treatment options: patient age, histological subtype, tumor localization and size, etc. Surgical options include: excision with predetermined margins, Mohs micrographic surgery, curettage, electrodesiccation, CO2 laser surgery, and cryosurgery. Surgical excision with histologic control is the standard and highly effective treatment for primary BCC. Nonsurgical options include: radiotherapy, topical 5-fluorouracil, topical imiquimod, photodynamic therapy. Imiquimod may be an alternative to surgery for patients with small (< 2 cm), low risk, superficial, primary BCC. 5-fluorouracil is not recommended for the treatment of facial BCC and should only be used for small, superficial and low risk BCC. New and promising treatment option for patients with advanced and metastatic BCC is vismodegib, inhibitor of smoothened homologue (SMO).

Early diagnosis and therapy are important for the prevention of serious complications like ulcus cruris venosum. The classical open surgery with strippng of the saphenous vein and ligation of the junction area is not anymore the gold standard. In the last 15 years new, minimal invasive methods were established and several studies have shown that endovenous thermal ablation (ETA) with segmental radiofrequency catheter or laser is a highly effective and save procedure. The NICE guidlines 2013 regarding the treatment of varicose veins recommand the ETA as the first choice for the treatment of saphenous veins insufficiency. The treatment with ultrasound guided foam sclerotherapy is the second choice and open surgery is only recommanded if there is no possibility to perform ETA or foam sclerotherapy. A very new alternative is the chemical ablation with a medical cyanoacrylate glue. This method is performed without local anesthesia and without postoperative compression. First results are very promissing. The new interventional treatment options are very save, minimal invasive, with minimal post treatment discomfort and as effective as open surgery. Long term results with ETA have shown that there are less neovascularizations and recurrent varicose veins than after classic open surgery. 54 VI Master Class on Vitiligo and Pigmentary Disorders - ‘‘Innovative Therapies in Dermatology Symposium’’ POZDRAVNA RIJEČ / WELCOME ADDRESS I IT 15 – TREATMENT APPROACH FOR ULCUS CRURIS . .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .....................................................................

The main causes are chronic venous insufficiency, peripherial arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) and diabetes. The most common cause of PAOD is arterosclerosis. In diabetic patients, distal symmetric neuropathy and peripherial vascular disease are probably the most impotant etiological factors in the development of leg ulcer. Venous insufficiency is the most common etiology. The exact pathogenetic cascade leading to ulceration is still not fully elucidated. Many patients have ulcers of combined aetiology. Other rare causes of chronic leg ulecrs are: hematologic diseases, autimmune diseases, genetic defects, infective diseases, primary skin disease, cutaneus malignant diseases, use of some medication and therapeutic procedures and numerous exogenous factors. Knowledge of differencial diagnosis is essential for ensuring treatment success in patient with leg ulcer. Ulcer have slow healing tendency caused by an underlying pathogenetic factor that needs to be removed to induce healing. Compresion therapy has been considered the gold standard in tretment of venous ulcer.The main priciples of tretment for arterial ulcer is surgical intervetion if aterosclerotic occlusion affects large-size artery. The manegment of diabetic foot ulcer requires relief of any pressure at the wound sit, surgical debridment, control of glucose level and arterial reconstruction if necessary. Despite numerous advances, chronic wounds continue to be a tretmen challange. The beneficial effect of a moist wound enviroment and hypoxia reduction has been well established. Negativ pressure wound therapy (NPWT) remove edema, leading to increased localised blood flow and accelertion of granulation tissure formation. Autologus platelet-rich plasma (PRP) seams effective for treting chronic and difficult wounds. 55 VI Master Class on Vitiligo and Pigmentary Disorders VI. edukativni skup o vitiligu i poremećajima pigmentacije - ‘‘Inovativne dermatološke terapije’’ 55 I IT 16 – PATHOGENESIS AND MANAGEMENT OF CHRONIC URTICARIA . .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..................................................................... Piotr Kuna Medical University of Lodz, Poland Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is defined as itchy weals, angio-oedema, or both, arising spontaneously without external physical stimuli. Symptoms of the disease continue to develop for more than 6 weeks. It carries a high socioeconomic burden with considerable health care costs. Second generation H1-antihistamines are the mainstay of urticaria treatment and are the only licensed option. However, many patients are resistant to H1-antihistamine therapy. Omalizumab has proven to be an effective therapeutic option in patients with recalcitrant chronic urticaria. This presentation will highlight the major therapeutic options available today for the management of CSU knowing that good quality evidence for efficacy of many agents is scarce except for H1-antihistamines and omalizumab. LDM medical approach (born from the fusion of the most recent knowledge in the fields of Molecular Biology, PNEI and nano-concentrations research is founded on the use of biological signaling molecules that control and guide the homeostatic functions in order to restore the physiological homeostasis) is based on the use of nano-concentrations of cytokines (in the range of pg/ml), administered orally in order to achieve a systemic effect. The availability of low-dose medicines containing nanoconcentrations (in the range of pg/ml) and Sequentially Kinetic-Activated (SKA) cytokines and growth factors represents a unique opportunity for the study of an innovative immunological therapeutic approach for vitiligo treatment. The therapeutic use of SKA low dose bFGF (Guna S.p.a. – Italy) is aimed at improving the stimulation of the residual population of melanocytes (via up-regulation of trans-membrane receptors) mimicking the paracrine signaling exerted, in physiological conditions, by keratinocytes. The effect of bFGF is improved if in association with the pool of anti-inflammatory cytokines that acts reducing the apoptotic phenomena and the cytotoxicity mediated by TNF-α. The anti-inflammatory SKA low dose molecules pool is composed by Anti-IL-1; IL-4 and IL-10. Anti-IL-1 is useful in the reduction of IL-1-mediated acute inflammation, present in perilesional region; IL-4 exerts an effective control against autoimmune triggers, reducing cell-mediated cytotoxicity; IL-10 is the opposing cytokine of both IL-1 and TNF-α and is effective in chronic inflammation control. The use SKA low dose bFGF and specific SKA low dose anti-inflammatory cytokines pool represents a new therapeutic approach for vitiligo strictly based on disease etiology and aimed both to stop the disease progression, through opposing chronic inflammation, and to induce skin repigmentation by direct stimulation of melanocytes. 56 VI Master Class on Vitiligo and Pigmentary Disorders - ‘‘Innovative Therapies in Dermatology Symposium’’ POZDRAVNA RIJEČ / WELCOME ADDRESS 57 VI Master Class on Vitiligo and Pigmentary Disorders VI. edukativni skup o vitiligu i poremećajima pigmentacije - ‘‘Inovativne dermatološke terapije’’ 57 FREE COMMUNICATIONS (FC) I FC 1 – PSYCHOSOCIAL FACTORS IN PATIENT WITH MULTIPLE AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES . .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .....................................................................

We explored negative life experiences that had happened before the appearance of psoriasis and vitiligo. Recent studies suggest that multiple traumatic life events during childhood and adolescence in combination with genetic background could increase the vulnerability for developing some autoimmune diseases. Therefore, for the treatment of these patients, interdisciplinary approach is needed. That includes the participation of the dermatologist and a psychiatrist-psychotherapist.

Al- 58 VI Master Class on Vitiligo and Pigmentary Disorders - ‘‘Innovative Therapies in Dermatology Symposium’’ POZDRAVNA RIJEČ / WELCOME ADDRESS though Micro-Needling may look a little aggressive with its needles, it is actually much gentler. This is because Micro-Needling does not harm the epidermis. As the small handheld roller with its micro needles is gently rolled over the area being treated, it creates pin point punctures. The pores of the top layer of the skin are parted without being damaged, leaving the epidermis, intact. The procedure usually requires the application of anesthetic cream which is effective after 30 min. The treatment usually last for about 20-30 minutes, as considering the fact that the skin is “open” for about 10 minutes after the treatment, there are different substances that could be applied in order to penetrate deeper in the skin. The most effective substances are hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, ferrulic acid which helps in collagen production and the rejuvenation of the skin. Some reddening is typical after treatment but the downtime is very quick 2-3 days the most. The side effect of the treatment are minimal, and it is widely accepted by the patients.

Most people will experience infection with HPV at some time in their life. Plane warts are mainly caused by HPV-3 and HPV-10. Diagnosis is usually based on clinical examination. There is no single absolutely effective treatment and different types of treatment may be combined. One must take into account the possibility of spontaneous regression and so the therapeutic approach should not be too aggressive. Warts in adults, in those with long duration of infection and in immunosuppressed patients are less likely to resolve spontaneously and are more recalcitrant to treatment. Retinoids disrupt epidermal growth and differentiation thereby reducing the bulk of the wart. There are number of case reports and a limited number of trials showing the effect of systemic retinoids in the treatment of warts. We present two patients with plane warts on the face, in whom after 4 weeks of systemic isotretinoin treatment we observed total clearance of warts. 59 VI Master Class on Vitiligo and Pigmentary Disorders VI. edukativni skup o vitiligu i poremećajima pigmentacije - ‘‘Inovativne dermatološke terapije’’ 59 I FC 4 – JUVENILE ONSET HYPOPIGMENTED MYCOSIS FUNGOIDES: A CASE SERIES OF 3 PATIENTS . .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .....................................................................

Primary cutaneous lymphomas (PCLs) are exceedingly rare in children and adolescents, with mycosis fungoides (MF) being the most frequent PCL diagnosed in childhood. The incidence of MF is 6.4 per 1,000,000 per year in adults, but the occurrence in children and young adults is rare and has not been well established yet. Hypopigmented mycosis fungoides (HMF) is an atypical and rare subtype of MF characterized by solely hypopigmented patches or in combination with erythematous patches or plaques. There are no criteria that define a typical case of HMF. We present three cases of juvenile-onset HMF at Department of Dermatology and Venereology, University Hospital Center Zagreb between November 2014 and January 2015. Patients were between 9 and 12 years old at the time of diagnosis. The diagnosis was reached based on clinical, histopathological and immunohistochemical correlation. All patients were investigated at the time of diagnosis with complete blood count, peripheral smear, ultrasonography of abdomen and pelvis, and chest X-ray. They were all without extracutaneous progression of disease. Narrowband UVB (311nm) phototherapy and/or potent topical steroids were used as a first-line treatment. HMF is rare in Caucasians and with only few cases described in children. Juvenile-onset MF is often misdiagnosed at early stages as benign condition. HMF may simulate atopic dermatitis, pityriasis alba, pityriasis lichenoides, tinea versicolor, vitiligo, postinflammatory hyperpigmentation or leprosy (Hansen’ disease). Although HMF has good prognosis, it is a malignant skin lymphoma and should always be treated as such. Treatment modalities for juvenile MF are based on general strategies for adults according to disease stage. 60 VI Master Class on Vitiligo and Pigmentary Disorders - ‘‘Innovative Therapies in Dermatology Symposium’’ POZDRAVNA RIJEČ / WELCOME ADDRESS I FC 5 – PSORIASIS PATIENTS: PSYCHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTIC AND QUALITY OF LIFE IMPACT .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .....................................................................

Sixty-one patient (25 male and 36 female) with diagnosis of plaque psoriasis participated in this study. During their stay at Naftalan, Special Hospital for Medical Rehabilitation they were referred to a psychological consult. Assessment was done through questionnaires concerning quality of life, patient’s personality, perceived social support and traumatic events. According to the results of our study, psoriasis has a substantial impact on patient’s life. Severe traumatic event in past 6 months experienced 54.09% of patients. Personality tests revealed increased neuroticism, mainly in female patients. Also, female patients reported about presence of indeterminate fear, shudder and tension, as well as elevated somatic anxiety and hysteria. Despite above mentioned data, patients evaluated their quality of life higher than perceived social support – 3.75 vs. 3.61. It is well known that quality of life is specific psychological phenomenon. Although more than 50% of our patients reported severe traumatic event in the last six months, it did not obviously influence to much on their quality of life. Regardless to high perceptive quality of life, psoriasis patients have increased psychoneurotic symptoms which are particularly expressed in female patients. Therefore, apart from medical treatment of skin lesions, psoriasis patients should have adequate psychological treatment and support from its environment. 61 VI Master Class on Vitiligo and Pigmentary Disorders VI. edukativni skup o vitiligu i poremećajima pigmentacije - ‘‘Inovativne dermatološke terapije’’ 61 I FC 6 – THERAPEUTIC USE OF MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES IN PSORIASIS - IMMUNOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES AND IMMUNE - BASED ADVERSE EFFECTS . .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .....................................................................

Lesions were non-responsive to superpotent topical steroids. First histological examination of skin lesion was not specific. Second histological examination showed dense lymphocytic infiltrate in upper dermis and immunohistochemical analysis revealed CD3 and CD20 positivity. Third histological examination of skin lesion showed epidermotropism and Pautrier’s micro abscesses. A diagnosis of patch stage mycosis fungoides was made. Staging (CBC with differential, smear for Sezary cells, liver enzymes, uric acid, LDH, axilar, inguinal and cervical lymph node ultrasound and CT scanning of thorax, abdomen and pelvis) revealed IB stage. PUVA bath therapy (26 expositions) was conducted which led to only partial regression but significant reduction of pruritus. Other comorbidities, including renal insufficiency with elevated creatinine levels and hyperlipidemia, disabled us to add oral retinoids to PUVA therapy. Four weeks after completion of therapy skin status started to aggravate with appearance of smaller tumours and recurrence of pruritus. Another skin biopsy was performed and sent to Centre for haematologic pathology (Merkur University Hospital). Immunohistochemical analysis revealed CD3, CD4, CD2, CD5 and CD30 positivity. Part of tumor cells were CD7 positive. Tumor cells were showing Ki67 expression and were negative for CD8. Presence of rare CD20 (B) lymphocytes were also determined. Stage IIB was diagnosed and patient was reffered to oncologist for further treatment. Although studies have proven good response rates to PUVA therapy in treatment of stage I mycosis fungoides (62-90% complete responses) it didn’t led to complete clearance in our case and prompt relapse was observed.

The aim of this study was to determine presence of high-risk mucosal human papillomavirus types in extra-genital Bowen’s disease. Nineteen paraffin embeded tissues histologicaly verified as Bowen’s disease were analysed. All lesions were located on the head. Detection of mucosal HPV DNA was performed using HPV screening kit (AID, Germany) according to their protocol. High-risk HPV types (16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 53, 56, 58, 59, 66, 68, 73, 82) were detected by polymerase chain reaction and subsequent reverse hybridisation with sequence-specific oligonucleotide probes. In all specimens analysis was negative for high-risk HPV types. In five out of nineteen samples (26%) there were no control DNA and we can not claim for certain that they are negative for high-risk HPV types. Most former studies have emphasised the role of high-risk HPV types in extra-genital Bowen’s disease, especially HPV16. Regarding our results we did not confirm connection between highrisk HPV types and extra-genital Bowen’s disease. Negative results obtained in this study could be due to small sample and/or difficulties related to sampling and low number of copies of the HPV genoma. 65 VI Master Class on Vitiligo and Pigmentary Disorders VI. edukativni skup o vitiligu i poremećajima pigmentacije - ‘‘Inovativne dermatološke terapije’’ 65 I I P 3 – THE USE OF PREPARATIONS CONTAINING SMECTITE, COPPER GLUCONATE AND ZINC GLUCONATE IN HERPES ZOSTER . .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .....................................................................

One of the frequent complications in herpes zoster is bacterial superinfection. The aim of this study was to present the therapeutic effect of the preparation containing smectite, copper gluconate, zinc gluconate, arginine pidolate and Uriage Thermal water®. This product is a triple-action product (absorbent, antiseptic and soothing). Twenty patients with moderate to severe herpes zoster were involved in the study. Ten patients with severe herpes zoster were hospitalized, and other ten patients with moderate herpes zoster were outpatients. All patients received Uriage Cu-Zn spray® as local therapy associated to systematic therapy (acyclovir). The duration of the study was three weeks. Patients applied Uriage Cu-Zn® spray over the affected area twice per day. The efficacy was evaluated by analyzing changes in typical bullosus lesions and patients and physicians global assessment. The efficacy parameters were assessed at baseline, day 1, day 2, day 5 and day 21. Tolerability and safety was assessed by physical examination, laboratory parameters and evalutaion of adverse events. Herpes zoster is a skin eruption due to reactivation of the virus Varicella zoster. The eruption appears in a band-like pattern on one side of the body. The involved area first become tender and red, and many have a deep pain. Clusters of blisters appear and soon burst, leaving erosions and ulcers that become crusted. Uriage Cu-Zn spray® help to dry up the blisters and ulcers and help to prevent bacterial superinfection. 66 VI Master Class on Vitiligo and Pigmentary Disorders - ‘‘Innovative Therapies in Dermatology Symposium’’ POZDRAVNA RIJEČ / WELCOME ADDRESS I P 4 – ANTI-THYROGLOBULIN ANTIBODY AND VITILIGO .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .....................................................................

The etiopathogenesis of the disease is still unclear, but there is evidence that autoimmunity and endocrine disfunction may be involved. The aim of this study was to evaluate serum levels of anti-thyroglobulin antibody (anti-Tg) in vitiligo patients and control subjects, and also to assess the difference between the localized and generalized forms of the disease. In this prospective study we investigated serum level of anti-Tg in 50 patients with vitiligo and 33 healthy controls. We also examined a possible association between serum levels of anti-Tg and disease severity. Comparison of median values of anti-Tg has showed that serum concentrations of anti-Tg are significantly higher (p<0.05) in serum samples of vitiligo patients in relation to control group. Statistically significant difference was also found in values of anti-Tg between patients with generalized and patients with localized vitiligo (p<0.05). This study shows a significant association between vitiligo and thyroid autoimmunity, and that tests to detect anti-Tg are relevant in patients with vitiligo. 67 VI Master Class on Vitiligo and Pigmentary Disorders VI. edukativni skup o vitiligu i poremećajima pigmentacije - ‘‘Inovativne dermatološke terapije’’ 67 I P 5 – PREVALENCE OF VITILIGO IN WEST HERZEGOVINA . .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..................................................................... Ana-Marija Sulić, Dubravka Šimić, Kristina Jurišić, Anita Ostojić Department for Dermatology and Venereology University Hospital Mostar, Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina; [email protected] Vitiligo is an acquired progressive pigmentary disorder characterized by depigmented maculae resulting from a reduction of the number and function of melanocytes. The prevalence of vitiligo ranges from 0.5 to 2% with considerable variation among different racial group. The average age of the onset is usually between 10 and 30 years of age. It is equally common in men and women. The etiopathogenesis of the disease is still unclear, but there is evidence that autoimmunity may be involved. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and epidemiological characteristics of vitiligo. The study was conducted as a crosssectional study of patients, treated at the Department of Dermatovenereology at University Clinical Hospital Mostar, from January 2012 to December 2014. Data were collected using a data collection form, included parameters of age, sex, family history, site of lesion, type of involvement and associated diseases. Results: The study included 110 patients with vitiligo, 64 female and 46 male. The hands, neck and face were the most common involved sites. The generalized type was the most common form of vitiligo. Associated disorder with vitiligo were documented in order for thyroid disorders and type 2 diabetes. This study indicated that the high percentage of vitiligo occurred in young ages therefore, it is expected that better case finding and screening methods were used to identify people with this disease so that, it can be quicker to recognize this genetic and autoimmune disease, and finally treated with better quality. 68 VI Master Class on Vitiligo and Pigmentary Disorders - ‘‘Innovative Therapies in Dermatology Symposium’’ POZDRAVNA RIJEČ / WELCOME ADDRESS I P 6 – HISTAMINE INTOLERANCE - DERMATOLOGIC SEQUELS .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .....................................................................

The intake of histamine-rich foods as well as alcohol or drugs which cause either the release of histamine or the blocking of DAO can lead to various disorders in many organs (gastrointestinal system, skin, lungs, cardiovascular system and the brain), depending on the expression of histamine receptors. Dermatologic sequels can be rashes, itch, urticaria, angioedema, dermatitis, eczema and even acne, rosacea, psoriasis and other. The recognizing of symptoms due to HIT is especially important in treating such patients. Because of the possibility of symptoms affecting numerous organs, a detailed history of symptoms following the intake of histamine rich foods or drugs that interfere with histamine metabolism is essential for making a diagnosis of HIT. Considering that such symptoms can be a result of multiple factors, the existence of HIT is usually underestimated, but considerable expectations are being made from the future studies. 69 VI Master
