This study aims to explore the common pathogenic mechanisms of psoriasis and atopic dermatitis, two T-cell-mediated autoimmune diseases. Utilizing single-cell transcriptomic sequencing data, we revealed that Treg cells primarily express TIGIT in both psoriasis and atopic dermatitis, and identified a subset of macrophages that highly express SGK1. These cells can interact with T cells via the NECTIN2-TIGIT signaling pathway, inhibiting the differentiation of T cells into a pro-inflammatory phenotype, thereby uncovering a common immunoregulatory mechanism in both diseases.

Homeostasis of these tissue-resident T cells is supported by fibroblasts, the primary structural cells in the dermis. In psoriasis, there is increased expression of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2), mediating structural alterations in skin tissues and modulating inflammation.

Tissue-resident memory T cells (Trm) are a sub-population of memory T cells that reside in skin tissue. Recent studies have revealed potential role of Trm in the reoccurrence of psoriasis, as these cells tend to be profusely infiltrated in the lesions observed during psoriasis relapse. Trm can be classified into CD8 Trm cells that are distributed mainly in the epidermis and CD4 Trm cells in the dermis.

Background: There are still some gaps in the summary and generalization of cosmetic-related adverse reaction reports.
Objective: The aim of this study is to summarize and analyze the occurrence of cosmetic adverse reactions in Shanghai Han population by using available survey data.
Materials And Methods: Collection, statistics and analysis of patients with cosmetic adverse reactions in Shanghai Huashan Hospital from 2017 to 2021.
Psoriasis is a common immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease. Although biological agents have achieved good clinical efficacy in the treatment of moderate-to-severe psoriasis, the phenomenon of secondary non-response (SNR) has been gradually recognized. SNR refers to the gradual decline of efficacy after the patient achieves clinical remission with biological agents such as TNF-α biologics.

However, the functions of lnc-AGXT2L1-2:2 in keratinocytes remain unknown. Meanwhile, co-expression network analysis indicated lnc-AGXT2L1-2:2 could interact with estrogen-related receptor alpha (ERRα).

Erythroderma psoriasis (EP) is a rare and severe form of psoriasis, which is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that usually occurs simultaneously with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a significant precursor of CVD. This study was to investigate the association between EP and MetS in the Chinese population.

Methods: The data of patients diagnosed with psoriasis between January 2013 and October 2018 who underwent thyroid function tests were collected. Free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), total triiodothyronine (TT3), total thyroxine (TT4), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), thyroglobulin antibody (TGAb), and thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) were measured.
Introduction: Psoriasis is a common chronic relapsing inflammatory skin disease, which may have considerable detrimental effects on the quality of life. Considering high costs and side effects associated with the use of conventional medications, acupuncture, as one of complementary and alternative nonpharmacological therapies, is commonly used in the management of psoriasis for reducing itching, repairing the skin lesions, etc. However, the effects of acupuncture in the management of psoriasis are still inconsistent, especially in psychosocial abnormality due to psoriasis.
