Square Area of Purpuric Lesions

n=5 arms • Measurement of purpuric lesion size was only done in 10 arms (5 participants with senile purpura). The other 5 participants were used as controls for other measures.

Number of Purpuric Lesions
5.8 purpuric lesions
n=5 arms • Only 5 participants (10 arms) were analyzed regarding number of purpuric lesions and size of purpuric lesions. The additional 5 younger subjects were used as to compare changes in mrna and skin thickness but could not be used to measure purpuric lesions as they did not have any.
5 purpuric lesions
n=5 arms • Only 5 participants (10 arms) were analyzed regarding number of purpuric lesions and size of purpuric lesions. The additional 5 younger subjects were used as to compare changes in mrna and skin thickness but could not be used to measure purpuric lesions as they did not have any.
5.4 purpuric lesions
n=10 arms • Only 5 participants (10 arms) were analyzed regarding number of purpuric lesions and size of purpuric lesions. The additional 5 younger subjects were used as to compare changes in mrna and skin thickness but could not be used to measure purpuric lesions as they did not have any.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 51 days (Treatments done every 7 days starting on Day 0 and ending on Day 21, then the final outcome was measured 30 days after the last treatment)

Population: This outcome measure was only assessed in those with purpuric lesions

The number of purpuric lesions 30 days after the last treatment will be subtracted from the number of purpuric lesions at baseline

The Change From Baseline to 30 Days After the Last Treatment in the Number of Senile Purpura Lesions

Interval -12.75 to 0.75
-.35 number of purpuric lesions
Interval -8.75 to 4.0

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 51 Days (30 days after the final treatment at Day 21)

Population: This measure was only assessed in those with purpuric lesions

The size of the purpuric lesions will be measured by multiplying the height by the width in cm of each lesion and totaling the total cm2 area for each lesion on each arm. Then the total square area 30 days after the last treatment will be subtracted from the total square area at baseline.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 22 days (1 day after final treatment at day 21)

Population: Data collected for those participants with senile purpura for both interventions, data collected for those participants without for only the control no treatment arm

Measurement of epidermal thickness in um as measured by H\&E stained sections using the AxionVision image analysis software based on slides from biopsies taken from the subjects 1 days after their last treatment.
