In psoriasis, there are two types of cells that are closely related to it, and they play an important role in the process of Western medicine**.
1.Epidermal keratinocytes: These cells are an important part of the epidermis, they are responsible for the production of keratin, and are involved in the differentiation and formation of the epidermis. Under normal circumstances, it takes about 30 days for these cells to proliferate, differentiate, and evolve. However, in psoriasis patients, this process becomes abnormal and only takes 4-5 days to occur. This abnormal cell proliferation leads to excessive proliferation of the psoriasis rash.
2.T lymphocytes: T lymphocytes play an important role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Due to the dysregulation of T lymphocytes, the appearance and function of T cells are altered and the associated cytokines are released. This may lead to abnormal proliferation and differentiation of epidermal keratinocytes in psoriasis**, which in turn induces the pathogenesis of psoriasis.
Understanding the roles and changes of these two types of cells can help to better understand the pathological changes and methods of psoriasis. In Western medicine, attention is paid to the abnormal proliferation of epidermal keratinocytes and the disorder regulation of T lymphocytes, and the pathological changes of psoriasis are tried.
In psoriasis**, Western medicine focuses on inhibiting the proliferation and differentiation of epidermal keratinocytes to reduce abnormal thickening and excessive peeling of the stratum corneum. Topical ointments contain hormonal drugs, vitamin D3 drugs, and acitretin that are designed to inhibit abnormal proliferation and hyperkeratinosis of epidermal keratinocytes.
In addition, phototherapy, as a routine** method, can reduce the number of epidermal keratinocytes and inhibit the function of the epidermal keratinocytes through specific wavelengths of light** to reduce the formation of abnormal keratin and the improvement of erythema. Oral medications, such as immunomodulators and anti-inflammatory drugs, can affect the activity of T lymphocytes, thereby reducing inflammation and improving symptoms.
Western medicine** can control the psoriasis rash very well in the early stage, and the rash will subside quickly, but it is difficult to ** psoriasis. Often after a period of time, the rash will be aggravated, and the damage to the skin will also bury hidden dangers for health.
