强脉冲光(IPL)是波长为(500~1 200) nm的连续、多波长的非相干性宽谱光。本研究共招募了31名女性志愿者(平均年龄(23.39±1.41)岁),在空军特色医学中心统一进行IPL半脸照射,对其IPL照射前(PI组)与照射一周后(AI组):对角质层含水量、经表皮水分散失、皮脂含量、pH值、红斑指数、黑素指数生理指标变化进行比较分析;通过超高效液相色谱串联四极杆飞行时间质谱(UPLC-QTOF-MS)结合正交偏最小二乘判别分析(OPLS-DA)模式对PI和AI组面部皮肤表面脂质(SSL)进行分析。生理指标数据分析表明, AI组角质层含水量(P=0.024)显著增加、黑素指数(P<0.001)、红斑指数(P<0.001)显著降低,而TEWL值、pH值、皮脂含量无显著变化;面部SSL结果分析表明,一共鉴定出1 704种总脂质,筛选出60种差异性脂质。差异性脂质可分为7大类,其中有5大类脂质:脂肪酰类(fatty acids, FA)、鞘脂类(sphingolipids, SP)、固醇脂类(sterol lipids, ST)、孕烯醇酮脂类(prenol lipids, PR)、多聚乙烯类(polyketides, PK)在IPL照射前后含量差异显著,均为AI低于PI;16种亚类在IPL照射前后含量差异显著,均为AI低于PI;神经酰胺(CERs)是主要的差异性脂质,含量为AI低于PI,推测CERs含量降低与皮肤屏障受损相关,这为有脂质添加的IPL照射后护理产品研发提供新思路。
Intense pulsed light (IPL) is a continuous, multi-wavelength, incoherent broad-spectrum light with a wavelength of (500 to 1 200) nm. In this research, a total of 31 female volunteers at the age of 23.39±1.41 years were recruited to get half-face IPL irradiation at the Air Force Medical Center, PLA. Indexes as stratum corneum water content, transepidermal water loss (TEWL), sebum content, pH value, erythema index and melanin index were observed and discussed, together with the analysis of facial skin surface lipid (SSL) conducted by ultra-performance liquid chromatography with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-QTOF-MS) combined with OPLS-DA (Orthogonal Partial Least Squares-Discriminant Analysis) mode based on samples prior of (PI) and after (AI, One week after IPL irradiation) IPL irradiation. The results indicate that water content of the stratum corneum (P=0.024) significantly increase in AI compared with PI. However, the remarkable decrease of melanin index (P<0.001) and erythema index (P<0.001) in AI is detected. And there are no sufficient changes in TEWL value, pH value, and sebum content. Additionally, a total of 1 704 lipids are detected and 60 different facial SSL lipids are further screened between PI and AI. Differential lipids are divided into 7 categories, of which 5 major types -[FA], [SP], [ST], [PR], [PK] are excessively degraded after IPL irradiation. The content of 16 subclass is significantly different between PI and AI, all of which are AI lower than PI. Ceramides (CERs) are the main differential lipids, and the content in AI is lower than PI. While the CERs levels are related to skin barrier damage. This provides new ideas for the development of lipid-added skincare products after IPL irradiation.
