Abstract:
The skin specimens of the patients with psoriasis were examined with electron microscope after the photo-herbal therapy of Anglica dahurica, Sichuan variety and ultraviolet A (UVA) irradiation. It was found that the therapeutic effects of this photo-herbal therapy were similar to those of the photochemotherapy of psoralen and UVA. Both of the therapies could accelerate the degeneration amibreakdown of the psoriatic cells and normalize the proliferation of the basal cells. However the large vacuoles formed in the nuclei of the psoriatic cells after the photochemotherapy reported by other authors could not be revealed after the combined treatment of A. dahurica and UVA.
