Ushwankathelo

I-Psoriasis yimeko yesikhumba engapheliyo ebandakanya ukuphuma ngokukhawuleza kweeseli zolusu. Abantu abane-psoriasis bahlala befumana iindawo ezinoburhalarhume kunye nezikali zesilvery ezibizwa ngokuba ngamacwecwe kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zemizimba yabo.

Akukho lunyango kwesi sifo se-autoimmune, kodwa lukhona unyango olunokunceda ukunciphisa iimpawu ze-psoriasis. Oku kubandakanya amayeza asekhaya okuzolisa ulusu, amayeza asemzimbeni kunye nawomlomo, kunye nonyango olulula.

Qhubeka ufunda ukuze ufunde ngakumbi malunga nonyango olubomvu lokukhanya (RLT) lwepsoriasis, kubandakanya ukuba isebenza njani kwaye ikulungele na.

Yintoni unyango lokukhanya okubomvu?

I-RLT luhlobo lonyango olukhanyayo olusebenzisa ii-diode ezikhanyayo (i-LED) ukunyanga iimeko ezivela kumabala ukuya kumanxeba aqhubekayo. Abanye abantu abane-psoriasis bafumana unyango olukhanyayo ngemitha ye-ultraviolet (UV), kodwa i-RLT ayinayo nayiphi na imitha ye-UV.

Kwimeko yesibhedlele, xa i-RLT idityaniswe namayeza athile, inokubhekiswa kunyango lwe-photodynamic.

Awunyanzelekanga ukuba ubonane nogqirha ukuvavanya i-RLT. Kukho iimveliso ezahlukeneyo zabathengi kwintengiso ezijolise ekusetyenzisweni kwezithambiso. Uninzi lweesaluni zokwenza isikhumba, njenge-B-Tan Tanning kwiindawo ezithile zaseFlorida, ePennsylvania, eNew Jersey naseDelaware, zibonelela ngeebhedi ezikhanyayo ezibomvu. Ezi salon zithi iibhedi ezikhanyayo ezibomvu zinceda ukunciphisa:

• iseli
• induna
• amanxeba
• ukuzolula amanqaku
• imigca emihle
• imibimbi

Ukujolisa ngakumbi kwi-RLT, kuyakufuneka ubone ugqirha wesikhumba kuqala.

Kudala likhona nini unyango olubomvu lokukhanya?

Oososayensi kwi-National Aeronautics and Space Administration kunye nee-Quantum Devices, Inc. (QDI) baqala ukufumanisa ukukhanya okubomvu njengendlela yokukhulisa izityalo kwindawo phaya ekuqaleni kweminyaka yoo-1990. Ii-LED ezibomvu zivelisa ukukhanya okuqaqambe kali-10 kunemitha yelanga. Bafundile ukuba oku kukhanya kungxamisekileyo kunceda imetabolism yamandla kwiiseli zezityalo kwaye ikhuthaza ukukhula kunye nefotosinthesisi.

Ukusukela ngo-1995 ukuya ku-1998, iMarshall Space Flight Centre yacela umngeni kwi-QDI ukuba ifunde isibane esibomvu ukuze isetyenziswe kwezonyango. Ngamanye amagama, bafuna ukubona ukuba ukukhanya okubomvu okunika amandla iiseli zezityalo kuya kusebenza ngendlela efanayo kwiiseli zabantu.

Eyona nto kugxilwe kuyo kolu phando yayikukufumanisa ukuba ngaba i-RLT inokuchaphazela iimeko ezithile ezichaphazela oosomajukujuku. Ngokukodwa, izazinzulu zazifuna ukubona ukuba ngaba i-RLT inganceda nge-atrophy yemisipha kunye nemiba yokuxinana kwethambo evela kumaxesha amade obunzima. Amanxeba ayaphola kancinci esithubeni, ke leyo yayiyeyona ndawo iphambili yezifundo zabo.

Lusetyenziselwa ntoni unyango lokukhanya okubomvu namhlanje?

Ngokusebenzisa izibonelelo kunye novavanyo lweklinikhi kwiminyaka ukusukela kuphando lokuqala, i-RLT ibonakalise ukusebenza kwezinye iimeko zonyango, kubandakanya:

• induna
• amabala obudala
• umhlaza
• Psoriasis
• ukonakaliswa lilanga
• amanxeba

I-RLT inokusetyenziselwa ukunceda ekusebenziseni amayeza athile alwa nomhlaza. Amanye amachiza omhlaza anovakalelo ekukhanyeni. Xa iiseli ezinyangiweyo zichanekile kwiintlobo ezithile zokukhanya, njengokukhanya okubomvu, ziyafa. Olu nyango lube luncedo ngakumbi kunyango lomhlaza wokuqina, umhlaza wemiphunga, kunye nezifo zolusu ezifana ne-actinic keratosis.

Unyango olubomvu lokukhanya kunye nepsoriasis

Isifundo sika-2011 kuvavanyo lwe-RLT xa ithelekiswa nonyango lokukhanya oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka kubantu abane-psoriasis. Abathathi-nxaxheba babe nonyango lweedosi eziphezulu kathathu ngeveki iiveki ezine zilandelelana ngelixa besebenzisa isisombululo se-10 yepesenti yesaliclic acid kwiiplate.

Zaba yintoni iziphumo? Zombini unyango olukhanyayo olubomvu noluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lwalusebenza ngokunyanga i-psoriasis. Umahluko phakathi kwezi zimbini wawungabalulekanga ekukhuleni nasekuqineni kwesikhumba. Nangona kunjalo, unyango lokukhanya okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka luze ngaphambili xa kunyangwa i-erythema, okanye ulusu olubomvu.

Kubalulekile ukuba ukhumbule ukuba olu nyango lwenziwe ngeedosi eziphezulu kwindawo yezonyango. Iziphumo zinokwahluka kakhulu ukuba unyango lwenziwa ekhaya okanye esalon okanye kwiziko lempilo.

Umngcipheko kunye nokuqwalaselwa

I-RLT ayinxulumene nayo nayiphi na ingozi enkulu. Okwangoku, unokufuna ukuthetha nogqirha wakho ukuba uthatha amayeza awonyusa ukubonakala kwesikhumba sakho.

Kukho ezinye iindidi zonyango olunokukhanya olunokunceda nge-psoriasis. Cinga ngokubuza ugqirha wakho ngezi ndlela zonyango zilandelayo:

• ukukhanya kwe-ultraviolet B (UVB)
• ukukhanya kwendalo
• psoralen kunye nokukhanya kwe-ultraviolet A (PUVA)
• unyango lwe-laser

Ukuthetha nogqirha wakho

Akukho lunyango lwepsoriasis. Nangona kunjalo, unokufumana ukukhululeka kwiimpawu zakho ukuba usebenzisa umxube olungileyo kunyango. I-RLT sesinye isixhobo sokongeza kwikhithi yakho ukufumana isiqabu. Ewe kunjalo, ngaphambi kokuzama nantoni na entsha, kungcono ujonge kugqirha.

Nangona ungathenga izixhobo ezibomvu zokusebenzisa ekhaya okanye ulungiselele iiseshoni zonyango ngaphandle kweseti yezonyango, ugqirha wakho unokuba nezikhokelo ezithile eziza kwenza ukuba unyango lwakho lusebenze ngakumbi.
