Telangiectasia Macularis Multiplex Acquisita and its Potential Association with Calcium Channel Blockers: A Retrospective Study of 46 Chinese Patients.

Telangiectasia macularis multiplex acquisita is an acquired cutaneous telangiectasis of unknown aetiology, and it lacks both effective and cost-efficient treatment. This study aims to identify a novel potential associated factor of the disease and explore feasible therapeutic interventions. In this retrospective case series study, 46 Chinese patients diagnosed with telangiectasia macularis multiplex acquisita between 1 January 2007 and 18 May 2023 were included.

Update on Palmar Fasciitis and Polyarthritis Syndrome: A systematic review.

Objectives: This systematic review aims to (1) summarize the clinical, laboratory, and imaging characteristics of Palmar Fasciitis and Polyarthritis Syndrome (PFPAS) patients and (2) evaluate the effectiveness of different treatments.

Methods: We conducted a systematic search of three electronic databases (Scopus, Embase, and PubMed) from inception to December 31, 2023. We presented demographic and clinical features, along with laboratory factors and imaging examinations of PFPAS patients.

Compound heterozygous ABCA12 variants identified in a Chinese patient with congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma: Advancing genotype-phenotype correlations and literature review.

Background: Ichthyosis is a common keratotic skin disease with high clinical, etiological and genetic heterogeneity. There are four types of non-syndromic hereditary ichthyoses, among which autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI) is a heterogeneous group of recessive Mendelian disorders. ARCI present with different phenotypes and ABCA12 pathogenic variants have been shown to cause complex ARCI phenotypes, including harlequin ichthyosis (HI), lamellar ichthyosis (LI) and congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (CIE).

Two new flavanones from Hedw.

Seven flavanones, including two new compounds coupled with styryl units, communins C () and D (), as well as five known compounds, were isolated from Hedw. The planar structures of all compounds were determined using extensive spectroscopic analysis. The absolute configurations of two new compounds were assigned by comparing experimental ECD with calculated ECD.

Video education improves patients' knowledge and satisfaction in treatment of solar lentigines with picosecond 755-nm alexandrite laser: A retrospective study.

Background: Picosecond lasers are widely used in dermatologic and cosmetic practice. In clinical practice, informed consent for laser treatments is critical to ensure patients' understanding of health information.

Objectives: To evaluate whether video-based informed consent improves patient comprehension and satisfaction.

Genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity of multiple lentigines and precise diagnosis in four Chinese families with multiple lentigines.

Lentigines are well-defined, small, brown macules resulting from the accumulation of melanin content in the basement membrane zone with an increase in the number of melanocytes. Hereditary multiple lentigines (ML) can be associated with multiple genes and are not commonly encountered in clinical practice. Patients can solely have skin involvement or present with multisystemic deformative phenotypes.
