`
`Preface
`
`Nail diseases, which include infections and inflammatory disorders, could affect
`human beings at any age. The diseases can result in feelings of inadequacy and
`depression in patients and affect their quality of life significantly.
`Oral and topical delivery of drugs have been the most common approaches to
`treat nail diseases. Topical therapy is the most preferred mode of drug delivery,
`due to patient compliance and convenience. Development of topical formulations
`to deliver effective amounts of drugs into the nail apparatus is highly challenging.
`This book provides a comprehensive review regarding the various nail diseases,
`topical formulations, drug delivery approaches, and unguokinetics of drugs. The
`chapters are contributed by pioneers in ungual drug delivery.

`
`THE NAIL UNIT
`
`The nail plate lies on the nail bed, is produced by the nail matrix, and is framed
`and ensheathed by the nail folds and the hyponychium (Figure 1.1). All these com-
`ponents, that is, nail plate, nail bed, nail folds, matrix, and hyponychium, make up
`the nail unit (Gonzalez-Serva 1997) and are described below. The nail unit starts to
`develop in the tenth week of embryogenesis and is almost completely formed by the
`17th week, after which changes in the nail unit are mainly associated with growth;
`it is well perfused by blood and lymphatic vessels, has a rich nerve supply, and is
`anchored in place by attachment to the distal phalanx (Dawber et al. 2001; Fleckman
`2005; de Berker et al. 2007; de Berker and Forslind 2004; Zaias 1990).
`The functions of the nail unit are manifold. Equivalent to claws and hooves in other
`mammals, the nail allows one to manipulate objects, enhances the sensation of fine touch,
`protects the delicate tips of fingers and toes against trauma, and is used for scratching
`and grooming (Barron 1970; Dawber and Baran 1984; Chapman 1986; Gonzalez-Serva
`1997). The multibillion dollar industry devoted to nail cosmetics and nail salons attests to
`our use of the nail as a cosmetic organ, even to the extent of sacrificing function for beauty.

`
`The Nail
`
`For example, the use of the computer keyboard is hampered by long nails, and yet, many
`of us are happy to cope with such difficulties. Such extremes of a prerogative of beauty
`over function have even been actively cultivated to communicate social status, exempli-
`fied by Chinese mandarin culture. At the other extreme of beauty versus function, nail
`biting, which severely compromises the beauty of nails, is known to serve several needs,
`including providing a sense of relief as well as alleviating boredom (Williams et al. 2007).
`
`1.1.1 NAIL MATRIX, NAIL BED, HYPONYCHIUM, NAIL FOLDS, AND CUTICLE
`
`The nail matrix—also called the root of the nail—is the germinative epithelial tis-
`sue whose cell division gives rise to the nail plate. Its distal portion is sometimes
`(especially in the thumbs and great toes) visible through the transparent nail plate as
`a white, semilunar area, called the lunula. The nail bed is a very thin epithelium on
`which the nail plate rests (and strongly adheres to), and slides over during its growth.
`The nail bed's dorsal surface is characterized by longitudinal ridges, and a comple-
`mentary set of ridges is also found on the underside of the nail plate (though not at its
`free edge), which has led to the nail plate being described as led on rails as it grows
`out (Dawber et al. 1994), and to the suggestion that the ridges contribute to adhesion
`between the nail plate and the nail bed (Rand and Baden 1984). It has, however, been
`pointed out that it is unclear whether the ridges seen on the nail plate actually belong
`to the nail bed epithelium and remain attached to the undersurface of the nail plate
`or whether they are etchings on the nail plate (Fleckman 2005). There has also been
`vigorous debate for more than a century about whether or not the nail bed contributes
`to production of the nail plate. The interested reader should refer to Branca (1910)
`and Johnson et al. (1991), and references within.
`The hyponychium is the region underneath the free edge of the nail plate where
`the latter starts to separate from the nail bed. It includes the space, the epithelium
`bordered by the nail bed and the distal groove, and the keratinous products of that
`area. The distal groove (Figure 1.2) marks the most distal boundary between the nail

`unit and the finger pulp. The onychodermal band—observed as a deeper pink band
`than the adjacent distal nail bed, especially when the finger is extended—marks the
`site of the "seal" between the nail plate and the nail bed before these two separate at
`the distal end of the nail unit.
`The lateral and proximal nail folds are folded skin structures that enclose the nail
`plate at its lateral and proximal edges, respectively. The dorsal surface of the proxi-
`mal nail fold covers part of the nail matrix and is continuous with the cuticle. Th
