Background. Psoriasis is one of the most widespread chronic inflammatory dermatosis, affecting from 2 to 7% of population. Objective. The assessment of morphological peculiarities of treatment pathomorphosis in patients with psoriasis at using UV-therapy. Method. Skin samples for histological studies and investigation of Ki-67 and filaggrin expression in epidermis were obtained from 14 patients with vulgar psoriasis before and after narrowband UV-B therapy (311nm). Results. Prior to therapy, epidermis exhibited signs of acanthosis, papillomatosis, hyperkeratosis, parakeratosis, Munro microabscess and lymphocytic exocytosis; stratum granulosum was either present in the form of small islets or absent. Derma underwent perivascular histiolymphocytic infiltration and contained dilated vessel. The number of Ki-67+ cells in psoriatic foci was 5 times more numerous as in the skin of healthy volunteers (p<0,001). The course of narrowband UV-B therapy resulted in epidermal thinning, hyperkeratosis and parakeratosis, restoration of the stratum granulosum, decrease of epidermal exocytosis and inflammatory infiltrates in the derma. Narrowband UV-B therapy had led to a 66% decrease of Ki-67-positive keratinocytes (p<0.002). Conclusions. Taken together these data allows to consider CD4/CD8 0,60-0,62 ratio as objective efficacy indicator and immunohistochemical threshold for evaluation treatment adequacy. It is concluded that narrowband UVB-therapy (311nm) have beneficial effect on histological skin changes, proliferative activity and differentiation of keratinocytes.
