Abstract

Multiphoton microscopy based on two-photon excited fluorescence (TPEF) and second harmonic generation (SHG) was firstly employed to investigate pathological process from the unaffected skin to the erythematous phase and to finally affected skin of Jadassohn-Pellizzari anetoderma. Our study showed that the normal elastic fibers in unaffected skin were almost completely absent in erthematous skin tissue, then replaced by a lot of elastic fibers with granular morphology in affected skin. The obvious change of collagen fibers and occurrence of inflammatory cell infiltration in erthematous tissue suggested that variation of these two components were also main pathogenesis of anetoderma except for deficiency of elastic fibers. Our results give a sight to noninvasively study the pathological process of skin disease and the other disease with tight relation to variation of collagen and elastic fibers in skin dermis and cell in skin epidermis.
