Abstract:Objective To explore the inhibitory effect of calcium-based antimicrobial polypeptide compounds gel on Malassezia and its clinical efficacy and safety in treating seborrheic dermatitis.Methods In vitro bacteriostatic experiment: to explore the effectiveness and minimum bacteriostatic concentration of calcium-based antimicrobial polypeptide compounds gel on inhibiting Malassezia. Clinical studies: 60 selected patients with head dermatitis seborrheica were randomly divided into experimental group and control group, 30 cases in each group. The experimental group was externally applied with calcium-based antimicrobial polypeptide compounds gel, and the control group was externally applied with gel matrix. And both of them were directly applied on the skin lesions, 3 times a day for 4 weeks. The changes of symptoms before and after treatment, the occurrence of adverse reactions, and the overall clinical efficacy of the two groups were recorded and evaluated.Results In vitro bacteriostatic experiments show that calcium-based antimicrobial polypeptide compounds gel was effective against Malassezia, the minimum inhibitory concentration was 0.3 mg/ml. Clinical research results: Before treatment, the symptom scores and mycoscopic examination results of the two groups were not statistically significant. After 4 weeks of continuous treatment, the effective rate of the experimental group was 85.19%, and the effective rate of the control group was 52.17%. There was a significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05). After 4 weeks of treatment, there were significant differences in the differential value of symptom scores between the two groups before and after treatment (P < 0.05), and the negative conversion rate of mycoscopy was also significantly higher than the control group (P < 0.05). No adverse reactions occurred in the two groups.Conclusion The calcium-based antimicrobial polypeptide compounds gel has an inhibitory effect on Malassezia furfur, can alleviate the pain of patients with seborrheic dermatitis, and is a safe and effective auxiliary method for the treatment of scalp seborrheic dermatitis.
