Abstract Shampoos are daily care products designed to clean the hair and scalp. The aim of this study was to compare the contents of baby and newborn shampoos sold in supermar- kets and pharmacies, determine the levels of substances reported to be dangerous to babies and newborns’ health in these shampoos. This cross-sectional study included 18 newborn and baby shampoos that families could buy at supermarkets and pharmacies in Turkey. For newborn and baby shampoos, the number of preservative substances have been determined. A total of 68 chemicals was found in these 18 shampoos, with an average of 14.83 ± 2.43 chemicals in each shampoo. Most of these chemicals were not recommended for use in children. Shampoos that contain numerous chemicals and substances confirmed to be harmful or have suspicious effects should not be recommended. It is clear that more studies are needed in this under-researched area. Keywords: Child, chemical, newborn, pediatrician, shampoo Introduction Even low levels of chemicals can have negative effects on growth, and these effects are more pronounced during the early stages Hair and body cleaning and care are important routine parts of of life, especially the fetal and infancy periods [3,4].

Li Professor of Biomedical Sciences Florenz Plassmann Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT LU, QIPING, Ph.D., May 2020, Molecular and Cellular Biology Investigation of the Zinc-Mitophagy Signaling in Hypoxic Cells Director of Dissertation: Yang V. Li Zinc is one of the most essential trace elements in the body. The concentration of intracellular free zinc is strictly regulated. The abnormal zinc concentration has been implicated in numerous clinical manifestations including ischemic stroke. Zinc homeostasis is achieved by proteins and organelles which sequester zinc or release zinc. Mitochondria are the power plants of the cell, the proper function of mitochondria is crucial for cellular metabolisms and physiological activities, their quality and quantity are regulated by mitophagy through selectively removing damaged mitochondria. Emerging evidence over the past decade has shown that zinc affects mitochondria in response to ischemia. It is progressively clear that zinc-mitochondrial interactions occur in and contribute to ischemic injury. Among the pathological effects of zinc accumulation on mitochondria, zinc induced release and accumulation of ROS draws special interest. ROS is a major cause of mitochondrial damage and initiates mitophagy.

In Indonesia, the prevalence of SD is 0.99–5.8% of all dermatology cases from 2013 to 2015. SD has been known to be a prominent manifestation among HIV patients, but there is an increasing trend in the general population. Therefore, in 2017, the Indonesian Society for Dermatology and Venereology proposed a consensus for the management of SD in Indonesia based on the discussion from 12 dermatological centers. Concurrent with the development of new drugs, this study aims to evaluate and develop a guideline for the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis in Indonesia to update the previous guidelines in 2017. Methods: Systematic review was based on evidence-based methods, and scientific evidences were acquired through systematic search. Evidence analysis was in accordance with the level of evidence. The available evidences were evaluated, and conclusion was based on the grade of recommendation.

Snyder, DVM, 2, and F. Alan PhD Andersen, PhD3 Abstract Sodium Iaureth sulfate is a member of a group of salts of sulfated ethoxylated alcohols, the safety of which was evaluated by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel for use in cosmetics. Sodium and ammonium laureth sulfate have not evoked adverse responses in any toxicological testing. Sodium laureth sulfate was demonstrated to be a dermal and ocular irritant but not a sensitizer. The Expert Panel recognized that there are data gaps regarding use and concentration of these ingredients. However, the overall information available on the types of products in which these ingredients are used and at what concentrations indicates a pattern of use. The potential to produce irritation exists with these salts of sulfated ethoxylated alcohols, but in practice they are not regularly seen to be irritating because of the formulations in which they are used. These ingredients should be used only when they can be formulated to be nonirritating. Keywords cosmetics, safety, sodium laureth sulfate, salts of sulfated ethoxylated alcohols The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel previ acknowledged that although these ingredients can be eye and ously evaluated the safety of sodium myreth sulfate, with the skin irritants, they can be used safely in the practices of use and data myreth sulfate and 2”1 conclusion, based on for sodium concentration reported.
