Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science 134, no. 1 (2009): 148–55. http://dx.doi.org/10.21273/jashs.134.1.148.
Full textAbstract:
Postharvest changes in flesh firmness, soluble solids concentration (SSC), and titratable acidity (TA) associated with increasing severity of sunburn browning of apples (Malus ×domestica Borkh.) were investigated over time in regular atmosphere cold storage. In 2005, ‘Gala’ apples were harvested at maturity and sorted into five classes ranging from no sunburn (Sb-0) to severe sunburn browning (Sb-4). Flesh firmness, SSC, and TA were measured on flesh tissue beneath the sunburned area of the apples at harvest and at monthly intervals for 6 months. In 2006, a similar protocol was used for ‘Gala’, ‘Golden Delicious’, ‘Jonagold’, ‘Granny Smith’, and ‘Fuji’ apples, except that these fruit quality traits were determined at harvest and after 3 and 6 months in regular atmosphere cold storage. Flesh firmness and SSC increased, but TA decreased both years in all cultivars as sunburn severity increased from Sb-1 to Sb-4. The patterns of higher firmness with more severe sunburn browning persisted during cold storage even though firmness in all classes of fruit decreased gradually with time in cold storage. The patterns of lower TA as severity of sunburn increased also persisted during cold storage, but TA declined more markedly in apples with more severe sunburn. The ratio of SSC to TA (SAR) increased as the severity of sunburn increased in all five cultivars. The SAR also increased dramatically from harvest to 3 and 6 months after harvest with ratios exceeding 200 in Sb-4 of some cultivars after 6 months storage. This occurred because TA declined very markedly as time in cold storage increased. Relative water concentration of tissue in sunburned areas of apples declined as the severity of sunburn increased, and helps to account for the higher SSC and firmness observed in sunburned apples.

Full textAbstract:
New Zealand (NZ) has the highest melanoma incidence rate in the world. Primary prevention efforts focus on reducing sunburn incidence and increasing sun protective practices in the population. However, sunburn from excessive ultraviolet radiation (UVR) remains common. To reduce sunburn incidence, it is important to examine those individuals who experience unintended sunburn. This study aims to use data from the NZ Triennial Sun Protection Survey to describe respondents who were not intending to tan but were sunburnt after outdoor UVR exposure. Information on sociodemographics, concurrent weather conditions, sun protection attitudes and knowledge, and outdoor behaviour was also collected. The results showed 13.5% of respondents’ experienced unintended sunburn during the survey weekend but had not attempted to obtain a tan that summer. Respondents who reported unintended sunburn were more likely than others to have been near water and in unshaded areas, used sunscreen, had higher SunSmart knowledge scores, had lower positive attitudes towards tanning, and were outdoors for a longer duration with less body coverage. As sunburn was unintended these respondents’ outdoor sun protective behaviours may be amenable to change. Future public health initiatives should focus on increasing sun protection (clothing and shade) and reducing potential barriers to sun protection.

Full textAbstract:
Sunburn causes fruit browning and other physiological symptoms, reducing fruit production and quality. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the anatomical differences and abiotic stress responses in ‘Nichinan 1 gou’ satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu Marc.) according to the severity of sunburn damage (five grades: control, no sunburn; I to IV, increasing severity of sunburn). Additionally, the quality of sunburned and non-sunburned fruits was compared, and the sunburn-inducing temperature was estimated. Anatomical observations confirmed that with increased severity of symptoms, the damage to fruit rind surface and oil glands was increased. In the analysis of peel pigments, chlorophyll content in the rind gradually decreased compared with IV, whereas the carotenoid content gradually increased up to III. The flavonoid content in the peel and pulp was the highest in III. In the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl and 2,2′-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical analyses, the IC50 (the concentration of compound at which the percentage of inhibition is 50%) value was the lowest in grade III in peel or IV in pulp, indicating a high free radical scavenging ability. The fruit quality analysis between sunburned and non-sunburned fruits showed differences in total soluble solid content, total acidity, firmness, coloration, and free sugar and organic acid contents, indicating a significant effect on fruit quality. In the heat tolerance tests on fruit rind in the laboratory and field, the damage was confirmed at temperatures above 47 °C.

Full textAbstract:
Significant changes in pigments were identified, quantified, and correlated to the changes in color associated with sunburn browning (SB) of ‘Fuji’ apples (Malus domestica Borkh.). Apples were sorted into five classes: NB, no sunburn; SB-1 to SB-4, increasing severity of sunburn browning. A decline in chlorophylls a and b and reduced anthocyanin accumulation with increased sunburn severity were observed. A significant increase in total quercetin glycosides was seen with slight sunburn (i.e., SB-1) with most of the increase resulting from increased quercetin 3-galactoside and quercetin 3-glucoside + quercetin 3-rutinoside. Quercetin glycosides increased modestly from SB-1 to SB-4, but few differences were statistically significant. β-carotene increased in sunburned apples both years, but changes in SB-3 and SB-4 were inconsistent between the 2 years. The xanthophylls were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in SB-1 than in NB, but no difference was detected from SB-1 to SB-4. Lutein, a xanthophyll, showed no change as a result of sunburn in either year. Hue angle was highly correlated (P < 0.05) to the concentrations of total chlorophylls, idaein, and total quercetin glycosides. Despite minor differences between growing seasons, the overall trends of decreased chlorophyll and idaein, and increased quercetin glycosides and carotenoids persisted. Lower chlorophyll and anthocyanin concentrations observed in the sunburned apples allowed the yellows from the carotenoids and quercetin glycosides to be more prominent. Additionally, the increases in carotenoid and quercetin glycoside concentrations of sunburned apples made the change in color more striking.

ABSTRACT Sunburn during adolescence increases a person's lifetime skin cancer risk. This study examines the association between sports team participation and sunburn prevalence among U.S. high school students. Using cross-sectional data from the 2021 National Youth Risk Behavior Survey, we compared sunburn prevalence among students who participated in one or more sports teams during the past 12 months to those who did not. Nationwide, 64.4% of high school students experienced one or more sunburns during the past 12 months, and 49.1% had played on one or more sports teams during the past 12 months. Sports team participation was associated with higher sunburn prevalence overall (adjusted prevalence ratio [aPR], 1.2; 95% CI [1.2, 1.3]) and among female (aPR, 1.2; 95% CI [1.2, 1.3]) and male (aPR, 1.2; 95% CI [1.1, 1.3]) students. Sunburn prevalence is higher among student athletes than those who do not participate on sports teams. Evidence-based organizational policies and practices are available to help keep student athletes sun-safe while allowing them to enjoy the benefits of sports participation. Future research could examine the contexts in which high school students experience sunburn and why student athletes are at an increased risk.

Full textAbstract:
Over five million cases of skin cancer are diagnosed each year in the United States with melanoma the third most common cancer in young adults. While publications have shown that sunburns increase the risk of developing melanoma throughout the lifetime including in adolescence and adulthood showing the importance of altering sun exposing behaviors throughout the lifetime, use of sun protection in college students remails low. In Fall 2019, an online survey of undergraduate students living on campus at a large southwestern university was conducted to determine the frequency of recent sunburns as well as sun protective behaviors and perceived knowledge of and barriers to sun protection. Associations between knowledge, behaviors, and barriers with self-reported sunburn were evaluated using logistic regression. Over 46% of 458 students reported at least one sunburn in the past three months and 21% reported having multiple sunburns in that period. Furthermore, 53% reported that they intentionally tanned their skin outdoors occasionally or more frequently, while 6.4% reported using an indoor tanning bed occasionally or more. Adjusted for skin sensitivity, recent sunburn history was associated with higher tanning activity scores and with high agreement that tanning was attractive (p < 0.01). This information can inform a more targeted series of intervention programming on the university campus.

ABSTRACT Skin cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in the United States. Despite years of education about prevention, incidence is increasing. There are mixed findings about sun protection factors' relationship to preventing sunburn. This study aimed to identify the factors associated with the performance of sun-protective behaviors and understand sunburn risk factors, which relate to skin cancer risk, controlling for demographic factors. This is a secondary analysis of cross-sectional data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2017 to 2018. Data were subset to U.S. participants ages 20 years and older who answered the dermatology questions, which included 3,404 people. A hierarchical logistic regression analysis was conducted in SPSS to investigate the contribution of several factors predicting sun-protective behaviors while controlling for demographic variables. In addition, multiple logistic regression analyses were used to examine potential factors related to getting a sunburn. Statistical significance was p < .05. Race, education, birth country, gender, and sun sensitivity were significant predictors of sun protection behaviors. Those who used sunscreen with a higher frequency and those with severe sun sensitivity had the highest odds of reporting a sunburn. Younger age and severe sun sensitivity were associated with multiple sunburns. The discrepancy between the perceived level of sun sensitivity and the incidence of sunburn suggests that people need to be adequately informed about the risks of sunburn. This finding supports the need for additional research to understand the attitudes and health beliefs toward sunburn and skin cancer prevention.

Full textAbstract:
Background Overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation has increased skin cancer incidence and the risk of sunburns, especially during the summer months. Objective Identify the frequency and factors associated with sunburns in a sample of beachgoers in the northern coast of Peru. Methods We conducted a secondary data analysis of a previous study that assessed the awareness, behavior and attitudes concerning sun exposure among beachgoers. We included adults between 18 and 59 years who went to a beach in northern Peru during summer (March 2018). Three generalized linear models of the Poisson family were constructed to evaluate the factors associated with having had at least one sunburn last summer. All regression models reported the adjusted prevalence ratio (aPR) with their respective 95% confidence interval (95% CI). Results Of a total of 402 participants, 225 (56.0%) had one to five sunburns and 25 (6.2%) had six or more. Beachgoers who were 1–15 days (aPR: 1.16, 95% CI [1.05–1.27]) or more than 15 days (aPR: 1.22, 95% CI [1.09–1.36]) exposed to the sun on the beach had a higher frequency of at least one sunburn. The non-regular wearing of a hat or cap also increased the frequency of sunburns (aPR: 1.06, 95% CI [1.01–1.12]). In contrast, those who had Skin Phototype III (aPR: 0.94, 95% CI [0.88–0.99]) or IV (aPR: 0.69, 95% CI [0.63–0.75]) had a lower frequency of sunburns. Conclusion Three out of five beachgoers had one or more sunburns in the last summer. The factors associated with a higher frequency were the time of sun exposure at the beach and the non-regular use of a hat or cap. Type III–IV skin phototypes were associated with a lower sunburn frequency.

Full textAbstract:
Red color development toward harvest may conceal superficial blemishes such as sunburn browning in apple peel. Masking of sunburn may result in the underestimation of sunburn incidence in full red and blushed cultivars and may result in inaccurate assessments of sunburn susceptibility of various cultivars. However, anthocyanin accumulation may potentially also increase sunburn by decreasing the albedo and thereby increasing the fruit surface temperature (FST). Conversely, it has been proposed that anthocyanins may protect peel against photothermal stress. We assessed the effect of anthocyanin accumulation on the visible sunburn incidence in two trials. In the first trial, hue angle, blush coverage, sunburn incidence, and sunburn severity were assessed on fully exposed apples of the green cultivars, Granny Smith and Golden Delicious, as well as the blushed cultivars, Royal Gala, Fuji, Braeburn, and Cripps' Pink, and the full red cultivar Topred, a month before harvest and again at harvest. Increases in sunburn toward harvest were greater in green than in red and blushed cultivars. Accumulation of anthocyanins seemed to decrease the conspicuousness of sunburn browning, which is a superficial form of sunburn while sunburn necrosis, which manifests as sunken black spots, was not masked by anthocyanins. In the second trial, ‘Granny Smith’, ‘Fuji’, and ‘Cripps’ Pink’ apples with moderate sunburn browning, sunburn necrosis, or no sunburn were tagged 1 month before the expected harvest date. Sunburn browning was apparent and significantly increased in severity in ‘Granny Smith’ while the severity of visible sunburn browning symptoms decreased in ‘Fuji’. Sunburn severity increased at the same level in the control and sunburn browning ‘Cripps’ Pink’ fruit. Measurement of maximal photochemical efficiency of the originally undamaged apples and the sunburn browning treatment indicated comparable damage levels in the peel of the sunburn browning treatment in all three cultivars. No masking of sunburn necrosis occurred. Our data thus provide clear evidence that anthocyanin accumulation masks sunburn browning in blushed and red cultivars, but does not seem to increase the susceptibility or protect these cultivars from sunburn damage. The incidence of sunburn browning is likely to be underestimated in red and blushed cultivars, with compounding effects on comparative studies of sunburn susceptibility between cultivars and sunburn physiology.

Full textAbstract:
Background Melanoma is attributable to predisposing phenotypical factors, such as skin that easily sunburns and unprotected exposure to carcinogenic UV radiation. Reducing the proportion of young adults who get sunburned may reduce the incidence of melanoma, a deadly form of skin cancer. Advances in technology have enabled the delivery of real-time UV light exposure and content-relevant health interventions. Objective This study aims to examine the feasibility of young adults performing the following tasks daily: wearing a UV dosimeter, receiving text messages and real-time UV-B doses on their smartphone, and responding to daily web-based surveys about sunburn and sun protection. Methods Young adults aged 18-39 years (n=42) were recruited in the United States in June 2020 via social media. Participants received the UV Guard sun protection system, which consisted of a UV dosimeter and a smartphone app. During 3 consecutive periods, intervention intensity increased as follows: real-time UV-B dose; UV-B dose and daily behavioral facilitation text messages; and UV-B dose, goal setting, and daily text messages to support self-efficacy and self-regulation. Data were self-reported through daily web-based surveys for 28 days, and UV-B doses were transmitted to cloud-based storage. Results Patients’ median age was 22 years (IQR 20, 29), and all patients had sun-sensitive skin. Sunburns were experienced during the study by fewer subjects (n=18) than those in the preceding 28 days (n=30). In July and August, the face was the most commonly sunburned area among 13 body locations; 52% (22/42) of sunburns occurred before the study and 45% (19/42) occurred during the study. The mean daily UV-B dose decreased during the 3 periods; however, this was not statistically significant. Young adults were most often exercising outdoors from 2 to 6 PM, walking from 10 AM to 6 PM, and relaxing from noon to 2 PM. Sunburn was most often experienced during exercise (odds ratio [OR] 5.65, 95% CI 1.60-6.10) and relaxation (OR 3.69, 95% CI 1.03-4.67) relative to those that did not exercise or relax in each category. The self-reported exit survey indicated that participants felt that they spent less time outdoors this summer compared to the last summer because of the COVID-19 pandemic and work. In addition, 38% (16/42) of the participants changed their use of sun protection based on their app-reported UV exposure, and 48% (20/42) shifted the time they went outside to periods with less-intense UV exposure. A total of 79% (33/42) of the participants were willing to continue using the UV Guard system outside of a research setting. Conclusions In this proof-of-concept research, young adults demonstrated that they used the UV Guard system; however, optimization was needed. Although some sun protection behaviors changed, sunburn was not prevented in all participants, especially during outdoor exercise.

Full textAbstract:
Excessive ultraviolet (UV) exposure can lead to sunburn, characterized by skin barrier damage, inflammation, pain, and an increased risk of skin cancer. Recombinant collagens have gradually attracted attention due to their high purity, low immunogenicity, batch-to-batch consistency, and excellent solubility. Additionally, the type of dressing significantly affects wound repair. Gels are ideal for sunburn treatment because they maintain a moist environment, adhere firmly, and do not need to be removed. Herein, we have created bioactive triple-helical recombinant collagen (THRC) gels for improved healing of sunburned skin. The THRC gels remained stable after a three-month stability test, displaying a rheological behavior characteristic of non-Newtonian pseudoplastic fluids. In vivo skin irritation tests conducted on New Zealand rabbits demonstrated that THRC gels were safe for use. A sunburned mice model was established to study the biological effects of THRC gels. Non-invasive combo evaluations indicated that THRC gels exhibited an exceptional capability of recovering dermis density, erythema index (EI), hydration, and transepidermal water loss (TEWL) of sunburned skin to a healthy state. Histological observations revealed that THRC gels significantly enhanced the repair of damaged skin by accelerating the recovery process, promoting collagen deposition and regeneration. Molecular biological characterizations further demonstrated their remarkable antioxidant properties, including the inhibition of lipoperoxidation and the enhancement in superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH) activities. These safe and bioactive recombinant collagen gels provide a novel approach for sunburn repair and show potential for long-term cosmetic benefits.

Full textAbstract:
An experiment that entailed the manipulation of irrigation was carried out to assess the effect of water stress on sunburn development in ‘Cripps’ Pink’ apples. Normal irrigation, half irrigation, and no irrigation treatments were applied for 15 days starting on 14 Mar. 2010 (Southern hemisphere). Stem water potential, fruit surface temperature (FST), sunburn incidence, and sunburn severity were measured. Sunburn was also categorized into browning, necrosis, or bleaching sunburn types. Fully exposed fruit without prior sunburn symptoms were tagged for progressive sunburn assessments, whereas sunburn was also assessed at harvest for all fruit per tree. Soil moisture and stem water potential decreased, whereas FST, sunburn incidence, and severity increased linearly with a decrease in irrigation level. Sunburn necrosis increased with increasing water stress. In conclusion, water stress aggravates sunburn development under conditions conducive for its development by increasing FST.

Full textAbstract:
High temperatures and drought are common stresses limiting crop growth and productivity in subtropical regions where citrus are produced. In addition to impacts on physiological processes such as transpiration, photosynthesis, and respiration, excessive solar radiation can also reduce fruit productivity by inducing physiological disorders such as sunburn. This study evaluated the effects of radiation reflectants and anti-transpirants on leaf physiology, and fruit sunburn in grapefruit trees (Citrus x paradisi Macfs. cv. Rio Red) in south Texas during the 2016 and 2017 growing seasons. Two calcium-based reflectants, and a methene/pinolene-based anti-transpirant were foliar applied to fruit-bearing trees. Reflectants reduced fruit and leaf temperatures by 0.2°C and 0.21°C, respectively, while the anti-transpirant treatments increased fruit and leaf temperature by approximately 0.83°C and 0.2°C relative to the controls. Stomatal conductance decreased by 1.3% and 3.3%, respectively, in response to the reflectant treatments, while anti-transpirant treatments resulted in decreased stomatal conductance (8.3%) relative to the controls. More sunburned fruit were found in anti-transpirant treated trees in both years (6% and 8.2% for 2016 and 2017) and the reflectant treatments reduced sunburn incidence by 4.9% and 1.8% in those years. These observations indicate that reflectant applications could be a viable strategy to mitigate heat/radiation stress and sunburn in grapefruit.

Full textAbstract:
This research aimed to evaluate the composition of wines made with white grapes which are particularly susceptible to sunburn symptoms due to the absence of anthocyanin. Sunburn is a complex physiological dysfunction leading to browning or necrosis of berry tissues. In vintage 2021, the canopy of ‘Verdeca’ grapevines grown in Salento, South Italy, was differently managed by sun exposing or shading the bunches. Micrometeorological conditions were studied at different levels. Grapes were vinified, comparing the winemaking with and without skin maceration. The vegetative-productive balance of plants was not substantially modified. On the contrary, a significant effect was observed on the quality and quantity of grapes produced: smaller berries with sunburn symptoms were found on unshaded bunches. This influenced the percentage distribution among skin, pulp and seeds, causing a decrease in must yield of up to 30%. The pH was significantly higher in macerated wines made using shaded grapes, due to a lower titratable acidity and to significant impacts on the acid profile. Obviously, maceration produced a higher extraction of phenolics in wines, which reached their maximum in wines made with sunburned grapes. The absorbance at 420 nm, index of yellow color, was also significantly higher in sunburned grapes, indicating greater oxidation. Even though excessive grape sun-exposure could negatively affect the perception of white wines made without maceration (resulting in more oxidative character), the sensory quality of orange/amber wines was not significantly impacted by the presence of sunburned grapes. Thus, this winemaking technique could be particularly interesting to set up a production strategy adapted to viticultural regions strongly affected by climate change.

Full textAbstract:
Sunburn can be caused either by heat stress or by UV-B radiation. Under natural conditions fruit sunburn is usually caused by the combination of both heat stress and UV-B radiation. To evaluate the use of reflectance spectroscopy in early detection of fruit sunburn, 5-year-old `Fuji' apple bearing trees growing in pot-in-pot system at the Lewis-Brown Horticulture Farm of Oregon State Univ. were used in the experiment. Fruit sunburn was monitored either under natural conditions or treated with UV-B, heat or both under controlled conditions after detached from the tree. Under natural conditions, the sun-exposed side of Fuji fruit has much higher anthocyanins than the shaded side. The increase in anthocyanins at the sun-exposed side is to protect the fruit from sunburn. When the temperature higher than 40 °C the sunburn symptom initiated first by change the color of the sun-exposed side from red to tan, then to yellow patches, and finally turn to brown and dark brown patches. The peel pigments analysis results indicated that anthocyanins decreased earlier than chlorophyll in the symptom development. The results of detached fruit exposure to 30,000μW/cm2 UV-B lights or to 40 °C at control conditions for 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours indicated that high intensity UV-B lights or high temperature alone can cause sunburn respectively. The UV-B and temperature combination treatment enhanced the sunburn processes. The apples with sunburn caused under natural conditions or under UV-B and temperature controlled conditions were scanned by using reflectance spectroscopy of FOSS NIR system at different stage of the sunburn. The results indicted that Fuji apple sunburn can be efficiently detected at the early stage of sunburn in both natural and controlled conditions.

Background: Physical activity is associated with greater odds of sunburn in adults, increasing harmful sun exposure and skin cancer risk. The authors sought to investigate parallel associations between sunburn and physical activity among US high school students. Methods: The authors examined pooled cross-sectional data from the 2015 and 2017 Youth Risk Behavior Survey. A nationally representative sample of 21,894 US high school students who responded to the sunburn question was included. Results: Prevalence of sunburn was 56.6% between 2015 and 2017. Sunburn prevalence was higher in physically active students (88.3%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 86.7%–90.0%; P < .0001) and student athletes (63.0%; 95% CI, 59.4%–66.7%; P < .0001). Among male students who were vigorously physically active (≥5 d) or on ≥3 teams, the odds of sunburn were 2.33 (95% CI, 1.81–3.00; P < .0001) and 2.52 (95% CI, 1.96–3.23; P < .0001), respectively. Among female students who were vigorously physically active (≥5 d) or on ≥3 teams, the odds of sunburn were 1.65 (95% CI, 1.36–2.02; P < .0001) and 2.92 (95% CI, 2.07–4.13; P < .0001), respectively. Conclusions: Many US high school students are affected by sunburn, and the odds of sunburn are elevated during physical activity and team sports participation. Efforts are needed to improve sun safety regulations, education, and resources for youth during school and physical activity.

Full textAbstract:
Protective netting and evaporative cooling are commonly used for sunburn protection in apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) orchards in semiarid environments such as central Washington state. Sunburn is caused by a combination of solar radiation and heat, which can cause significant economic losses. Although protective netting and evaporative cooling can be effective for preventing apple sunburn, netting can also introduce new risks, including red color development on the fruit surface. This study evaluated whether retracting netting before harvest improves red color development and/or changes sunburn risk compared with leaving netting in place until after harvest. An experiment was conducted that compared three netting treatments: 1) netting from June until harvest, 2) netting retracted 10 d before harvest, and 3) no netting all season combined with the presence or absence of evaporative cooling. Fruit was harvested and assessed for sunburn incidence and external quality characteristics immediately after harvest. In retracted netting treatments, red color was higher when netting was retracted compared with the nonretracted controls, and sunburn risk did not increase with netting retraction. Evaporative cooling reduced sunburn incidence. Retractable netting can be used to minimize the loss of fruit to sunburn while allowing a full light environment that promotes red color near harvest. There is no inherent increase in sunburn risk from netting retraction, and the proportion of fruit with red color improved.

Full textAbstract:
Sunburn of apple costs growers millions of dollars in economic losses annually. We have identified two types of sunburn in apple and their causes. The first (sunburn necrosis) is caused by thermal death of epidermal and subepidermal cells (peel), and causes a necrotic spot on the sun-exposed side of the fruit. Thermal death occurs at 126 ± 2°F (52 ± 1°C). Electrolyte leakage increases significantly with necrosis, indicating that membrane integrity is lost during thermal death. The second type (sunburn browning) is sublethal and results in a yellow, bronze, or brown spot on the sun-exposed side of the fruit. Sunburn browning occurs at a fruit surface temperature of 115 to 120°F (46 to 49°C) and has little effect on membrane integrity, but sunlight is required for sunburn browning.

Full textAbstract:
Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) is originally from southern China, but due to its higher adoptability and profitability, it is being cultivated in India. In India, litchi is harvested and sold during April-May and fruits have nutritional and economical values. Litchi cv. 'Rose Scented' is highly preferred in India for its taste, but sunburn and fruit cracking are a major drawback for its cultivation. Studies were conducted to quantify the severity of sunburn and incidence of fruit cracking. Fruits first affected by sunburn and burnt outer skin or peel or cuticle part, later turned into cracking. So sunburn acted as a predisposition to fruit cracking in ‘Rose Scented’. Thus, sun burn and cracking can be seen in the same fruit. These types (cracked fruit with sunburn) of fruits were 8.26%, 19.58% and 43.25% in 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively. Lower thickness of cuticle and spongy layer and higher temperature of fruit surface in burnt and cracked fruit may be accountable for fruit burning and cracking. A close correlation was observed between sunburn, cracking and weather situation over two months. A positive relationship was found between maximum temperature, sunburn and fruit cracking.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background The positive association between physical activity and sunburn is a health behavior trade-off between the health benefits of physical activity and increased risk of skin cancer. Purpose We assessed walking, which is a common source of physical activity, and the prevalence of sunburn. Methods This research used the 2015 National Health Interview Survey of adults (N = 26,632), age ≥ 18 years. We defined four exclusive categories of walking: (a) those who reported not walking; (b) only transportation (to get some place, such as work, a store, or public transit stop); (c) only leisure (such as for fun, relaxation, or exercise); and (d) both categories. We estimated the adjusted prevalence of sunburn by walking category and separately for walking duration; we stratified by gender and sun sensitivity. Results The adjusted sunburn prevalence was not different between walking categories for women, but it was for men. Specifically, prevalence was lower for men who reported not walking, 34.1% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 32.2%–36.1%) compared to 38.8% (95% CI: 36.5%–41.2%) who walked for both purposes (p = .003). Walking duration was not associated with sunburn prevalence. Conclusion We could not determine whether sunburn occurred during walking trips because the questions were not asked as such. However, the results suggest that walking, unlike leisure-time physical activity (such as exercise, sports, or physically active hobbies), may not generally be associated with sunburn, except for the higher sunburn prevalence for men who walked for both leisure and transportation purposes.

Full textAbstract:
Sunburn, a major type of solar radiation injury, causes large economic losses of several fruits, vegetables, and ornamentals. Sunburn necrosis occurs in attached apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) when excess solar radiation is converted to heat energy and causes a high fruit surface temperature (FST). When the FST reaches ≈52 °C, thermal death of cells is induced and sunburn necrosis appears later. A second type of sunburn, sunburn browning, is caused by the combination of high FST (46 to 49 °C) and high solar radiation. Cell death is not induced, but several pigment changes occur and the apple peel typically turns yellow or brown. The objective of this study was to develop a unique technology for protection of apples from sunburn necrosis and sunburn browning. Natural waxes in the cuticle and pigments in the upper epidermis of apple, which reflect and absorb ultraviolet radiation, attenuate only part of the harmful ultraviolet radiation. I hypothesized that applying additional wax as a sprayable emulsion would augment natural waxes in the cuticle and that addition of reflective compounds to the wax emulsion would reduce the heat load on the fruit. Synthesis of a formulation of this composition would be unique for plants and would be akin to sunscreens used by humans that generally contain organic (chemical) compounds to absorb harmful ultraviolet radiation and inorganic (physical) compounds to scatter, block, and/or reflect solar radiation. Emulsified carnauba wax, a natural plant wax, decreased transmission of ultraviolet radiation; addition of emulsified, organically modified clay to the wax emulsion enhanced reflectivity. When combined into a sprayable formulation, the carnauba wax and organoclay emulsion was more effective in protecting apples from sunburn browning than from sunburn necrosis. Spraying the unique formulation on apple trees caused no phytotoxicity on either leaves or fruit and did not decrease leaf chlorophyll fluorescence or whole-tree gas exchange, indicating no effect on photosynthesis or transpiration of apple trees. The unique formulation is patented as a sunburn protectant for fruits and vegetables and is marketed in several countries as RAYNOX®.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Childhood sunburn significantly elevates lifelong skin cancer risk, underscoring the need for effective prevention. While sunscreen, protective apparel, and shade-seeking are advocated, a quantitative synthesis of their efficacy in children is crucial. This meta-analysis aimed to consolidate and quantify the evidence on the effectiveness of these core sun protection strategies in preventing pediatric sunburn. Methods: A systematic search of PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Cochrane CENTRAL, and Web of Science (January 2014 - December 2024) identified randomized controlled trials and cohort studies evaluating sunscreen, protective apparel, or shade-seeking behaviors for sunburn prevention in individuals aged 0-18 years. Data on sunburn incidence were extracted, study quality assessed, and pooled Risk Ratios (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) calculated using a random-effects model. Results: Six studies (two RCTs, four cohort studies) involving 8,500 children were included. Regular sunscreen use (SPF ≥30) significantly reduced sunburn incidence (RR 0.65, 95% CI 0.55-0.77). Protective apparel use also demonstrated substantial protection (RR 0.70, 95% CI 0.60-0.82). Enhanced shade provision and shade-seeking behaviors effectively lowered sunburn risk (RR 0.75, 95% CI 0.62-0.90). Multi-component strategies combining these approaches showed consistent protective benefits. Conclusion: This meta-analysis provides robust quantitative evidence that diligent sunscreen application, consistent use of protective apparel, and active shade-seeking are all significantly effective in reducing sunburn incidence in children. These findings strongly support multifaceted public health initiatives emphasizing comprehensive sun protection to safeguard pediatric skin health.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Introduction: Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States (US) and is associated with notable morbidity and mortality. There has been mixed evidence regarding whether rural vs. urban residence is an independent risk factor for skin cancer, and it is not clear to what degree these differences are driven by demographic or behavioral factors. We investigated if there are differences in skin cancer sun protection behaviors between urban and rural residents. Methods: We used data from three (2013-2018) National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) cycles. Sunburns and sun exposure and behavior measures were dichotomized: 2+ hours outside during work days or non-work days, at least one sunburn in the past year (yes/no); sunscreen use, wearing long sleeves, staying in the shade (never, rarely, sometimes/most of the time, always). Urban/rural residence was measured as a 2-level indicator. We compared sunburn and sun behavior measures by rural-urban status using adjusted survey-weighted logistic regression models. Because of distribution difference by rural-urban status, we stratified by non-Hispanic (NH) white identity vs. identifying as a person of color. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals presented were adjusted for age, sex, income, education, body mass index, and smoking. Results: When comparing urban vs. rural residents, both NH white individuals (42.9 vs. 29.1%, OR: 1.60 [1.27, 2.01]) and people of color (48.9 vs. 36.5%, OR: 1.54 [1.08, 2.19]) in rural communities had greater odds of spending 2+ hours outside on work days. Rural NH white residents had greater odds of spending 2+ hours outside on non-work days (64.8 vs. 72.2%, OR: 1.45 [1.12, 1.88]). Both rural NH white individuals (26.7 vs. 21.6%, OR: 0.72 [0.57, 0.89]) and rural people of color (41.1 vs. 35.5%, OR: 0.81 [0.68, 0.97]) had lower odds of staying in the shade. Rural NH white residents reported lower sunscreen use (35.1 vs. 26.0%, OR: 0.74 [0.59, 0.93]). Among people of color, rural residency was associated with greater odds of at least one sunburn in the past year (34.5 vs. 24.7%, OR: 1.60 [1.23, 2.09]). Sunburns were more frequent overall (59-61%) in NH white individuals; however, no significant differences by rural-urban residence were observed. Conclusions: Rural residents report engaging in skin cancer preventative sun behaviors less often than urban residents. Greater sunburn frequency among rural and urban NH white individuals compared with individuals of color is consistent with higher skin cancer rates in NH white individuals. However, over 25% of people of color reported a sunburn in the past year, highlighting the importance of intervention on skin cancer risk beyond NH white individuals. Consistently less sun protection behavior across rural populations even after adjustment for demographics emphasizes that rurality should be recognized as an independent risk factor for sun risk behaviors.

Full textAbstract:
Sun damage on apples is attributed to the occurrence of high temperatures, incident radiation, and fruit and plant water parameters, all dependent on climatic conditions and management. The development of new production areas and climate changes increase the interest in studying the behavior of the fruit under different conditions. The effect on sun damage of three nets and two chemical protectants was evaluated in a commercial orchard of ‘Granny Smith’ in a neotropical climate during the 2012–2016 seasons. We recorded the evolution, incidence and severity of sunburn and sunscald. Fruit surface temperature, fruit size, sprouting and return to flowering was also recorded. Incident radiation and air temperature were considered for the assessment of the crop’s microclimate. The transmittance in PAR wavelength and the air temperature variation on netting treatments reached 0.4 and 9 °C, respectively. The fruit surface temperature for the White-Net and Black-Net-50% treatments was always lower than 46 °C. For the sun damaged fruits, the Black-Net-50% treatment showed the highest proportion of slightly sunburned fruits (94%) and the lowest proportion of heavy damages, with a sunscald index equal to or less than 2 (on a scale of 1–4) in all the tested conditions. In a neotropical climate, protectant applications did not reduce the incidence of sunburn, but with the use of nets it was possible to reduce both sunburn and sunscald without affecting growth processes dependent on leaf net assimilation.

Full textAbstract:
Background: The incidence of sunburn injuries continues to rise despite increased awareness of the risks of sun exposure and availability of sun protection. Whilst not a significant burden on burns care services, patients remain exposed to associated risks for future development of skin malignancies. The aims of this study were to determine the burden and severity of sunburn injury presentations to the Manchester adult and children’s burns services. Methods: A 10-year retrospective review was performed of patients with sunburn injuries, presenting to the Manchester burn services between 2010 and 2019 (inclusive). Data were collected from the International Burn Injury Database (iBID), electronic patient record (EPR) and local data collection systems. The data extracted included patient demographics, sunburn characteristics and management of the burn injury including need for admission and any documented surgical interventions. Temporal correlation was determined by linear regression analysis. Results: In total, 131 paediatric and 228 adult patients with sunburn injuries were managed by the Manchester burns services over the 10-year period. Mean % total body surface area burned was low (2.00% and 2.12% in adult and paediatric patients, respectively), with the majority of injuries either superficial or superficial partial thickness. Thirty percent (30.2%) of adult and 40.5% of paediatric patients were admitted with a mean length of stay of 3.51 and 1.11 days, respectively. The presentation of sunburn injuries progressively increased over the study period with a peak in 2017 (n = 58). Similar trends in patient demographics, burn size and depth and temporal trends were observed in national data from the same period for both adult and paediatric patients. Conclusion: This 10-year retrospective cohort study demonstrates an increasing trend of sunburn injury presentations to the Manchester specialist burns services; a pattern replicated in national data from England and Wales. The majority of sunburn injuries do not present to specialist burn services; therefore, these reported injuries reflect only a fraction of the true burden of sunburn nationwide. Despite increased awareness, an obvious need for enhanced public awareness campaigns regarding sun protection is therefore needed to address this trend. The educational and preventative role of burns care services is a key component in tackling both consequences of burn injuries themselves and associated risks such as future skin cancer development.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Acute sunburn is a prevalent dermatological issue, particularly affecting individuals with fair skin types I-III. It is characterized by erythema, edema, and discomfort due to ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure. Topical corticosteroids are commonly used for their anti-inflammatory properties, but their efficacy in sunburn treatment is debated due to limited high-quality evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs). This study aims to assess the efficacy of topical corticosteroids in relieving symptoms and inflammation of sunburn. Methods: A systematic review was conducted by searching PubMed, Web of Science, ProQuest, Scopus, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) for studies published up to April 30, 2024. Keywords included combinations of terms related to corticosteroids, topical application, and sunburn. Studies were selected based on PRISMA 2020 guidelines, focusing on adult patients treated with topical corticosteroids compared to placebo. Data extraction and quality assessment were independently performed by two researchers using the Cochrane Collaboration’s Risk of Bias tool. Results: The review included six RCTs with a total of 339 participants, aged 18-68 years, conducted in Europe and the USA. Various topical corticosteroids were studied, including methylprednisolone aceponate, hydrocortisone 17-butyrate, and hydrocortisone-21-acetate. Treatment durations ranged from single applications to twice daily for seven days. The results demonstrated that prolonged treatment with topical corticosteroids significantly reduced sunburn symptoms such as erythema and pain. When applied for seven days, treated areas showed lower sunburn reaction scores and reduced inflammation compared to untreated areas. Early application of corticosteroids, particularly within 6 hours post-exposure, was more effective than later applications. Histological analyses supported these findings, showing improvements in epidermal thickness and reduced dermal inflammation in treated areas. Conclusion: Topical corticosteroids can effectively alleviate acute sunburn symptoms and aid skin recovery by targeting inflammatory pathways. Their efficacy is enhanced with prolonged and early application. Further research is needed to optimize treatment protocols and assess long-term effects to fully realize the therapeutic potential of corticosteroid therapy in managing acute sunburn.

Full textAbstract:
Sunburn stress is one of the main environmental stress factors that seriously affects the fruit development and quality of Chinese olive, a tropical and subtropical fruit in south China. Therefore, the understanding of the changes in physiological, biochemical, metabolic, and gene expression in response to sunburn stress is of great significance for the industry and breeding of Chinese olive. In this study, the different stress degrees of Chinese olive fruits, including serious sunburn injury (SSI), mild sunburn injury (MSI), and ordinary (control check, CK) samples, were used to identify the physiological and biochemical changes and explore the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs) by using transcriptomics and metabolomics. Compared with CK, the phenotypes, antioxidant capacity, and antioxidant-related enzyme activities of sunburn stress samples changed significantly. Based on DEG-based KEGG metabolic pathway analysis of transcriptomics, the polyphenol and flavonoid-related pathways, including phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, sesquiterpenoid, and triterpenoid biosynthesis, monoterpene biosynthesis, carotenoid biosynthesis, isoflavonoid biosynthesis, flavonoid biosynthesis, were enriched under sunburn stress of Chinese olive. Meanwhile, 33 differentially accumulated polyphenols and 99 differentially accumulated flavonoids were identified using metabolomics. According to the integration of transcriptome and metabolome, 15 and 8 DEGs were predicted to regulate polyphenol and flavonoid biosynthesis in Chinese olive, including 4-coumarate-CoA ligase (4CL), cinnamoyl-CoA reductase (CCR), cinnamoyl-alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD), chalcone synthase (CHS), flavanone-3-hydroxylase (F3H), dihydroflavonol 4-reductase (DFR), and anthocyanidin synthase (ANS). Additionally, the content of total polyphenols and flavonoids was found to be significantly increased in MSI and SSI samples compared with CK. Our research suggested that the sunburn stress probably activates the transcription of the structural genes involved in polyphenol and flavonoid biosynthesis in Chinese olive fruits to affect the antioxidant capacity and increase the accumulation of polyphenols and flavonoids, thereby responding to this abiotic stress.

Ultraviolet light causes photodamaged skin leading to photoaging skin. Ultraviolet-B (UV-B) causes epidermal keratinocyte apoptosis, namely sunburn cell, through apoptotic intrinsic pathway. Erythropoietin (EPO) has a role in cytoprotection in various tissues but its role to epidermal skin is not clear yet. This study was designed pretest-posttest control group design. Thirty two male mice Mus musculus, strain Balbc, were divided into control and treatment group, 16 mice each group. All mice were exposured by UV-B light 16mJ/cm2, distance 30 cm, duration 90 seconds, for 3 consecutive days. Four mice each group were randomly sacrificed as pretest data. The control mice were given aquadest subcutaneous injection 0.1 mL, and treatment mice were given EPO subcutaneous injection 0.1 mL (100 IU/kg BW). UVB were given everyday with same protocol above. Treatments were given 4 times, interval 3 days. All mice were sacrificed to examine sunburn cells. Data were performed as mean ± SD and analyzed by t-test using SPSS 17.0 with significant value p<0.05. Sunburn cells of pretest control were 25.00 ± 4.85% and treatment group were 24.83 ± 5.15%. Sunburn cells significantly decreased (p=0.002) in treatment group (31.5 ± 9.39%) than control (50.83 ± 6.70%). UV-B causes sunburn cells formation. EPO inhibits apoptosis through increasing NO production and eNOS expression, inhibiting caspase and proinflammatory cytokines, and increasing antiapoptotic protein. EPO has a role in skin apoptosis inhibition which is shown by decreased sunburn cells

Full textAbstract:
Orchard systems have drastically changed over the last three decades to high-density plantings that prioritize light interception that is evenly distributed throughout the entire canopy. These conditions allow the production of fruit with a high red color that meets consumer demands for uniformly colored fruit without external disorders. However, these systems also expose a higher proportion of fruit to full-sunlight conditions. In many semi-arid apple production regions, summer temperatures often exceed thresholds for the development of fruit sunburn, which can lead to >10% fruit losses in some regions and some years. To combat this, growers and researchers use sunburn mitigation strategies such as shade netting and evaporative cooling, which bring a different set of potential fruit quality impacts. Often, there is a tradeoff between red color development and fruit sunburn, particularly for strategies that affect light intensity reaching the fruit surface. In this paper, we review agronomic and environmental factors leading to reductions in red color and increases in sunburn incidence, along with advancements in management practices that help mitigate these issues. Furthermore, we also identify gaps in knowledge on the influence climate change might have on the viability of some practices that either enhance red color or limit sunburn for apple orchards in semi-arid environments. There is a need for cost-effective management strategies that reduce losses to sunburn but do not inhibit red color development in bicolor apple cultivars.
