| Abstract | Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a multifactorial chronic inflammatory disease mainly stemming from a genetic predisposition that leads to hypersensitivity to environmental factors and a common involvement of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) colonization. The aim of this work was to propose a new non-invasive approach to enumerate the genes coding for the toxins of SA in atopic skin samples. In parallel, the study aimed to evaluate the change in AD through 3 markers of the inflammatory response: IL-8, IL-1RA/IL-1alpha and IL-18. These methods were tested on 31 patients with AD, and finally on a group of 19 subjects for whom clinical improvement had been reported after various treatments. The study revealed the presence of a large number of genes encoding toxins in atopic samples, indicating a high rate of SA colonization, and also an increase in the level of all cytokine markers in atopic skin compared to the skin of healthy subjects. Finally, we found a positive correlation between increases in the SCORAD (Scoring Atopic Dermatitis Index) value after treatment and the corresponding evolution of the SA density. These methods provide a means to clinically evaluate the course of AD, and may help in the development of potential treatments. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
