Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of intense pulse light(IPL)on the content of colla- gens and mRNA expression of procollagen in BALB/c mouse skin.Methods The BALB/c mice dorsal skin was irradiated by IPL.Skin specimens were taken at different time points after irradiation.Histopatho- logical changes were observed by hematoxylin-eosin-staining,quantitative assessment of collagenⅠand collagenⅢwas performed with immunohistochemical staining,and mRNA expression levels of procollagen were de- tected by RT-PCR.Results After the irradiation,no obvious change was observed for the staining intensity of collegen at 1 week;however,the thickening of dermis began at 2 week,and continued until 8 week.The staining of collagenⅠandⅢwas also stronger in IPL-irradiated regions than in sham-irradiated areas at 2 week(P
