Case report: Successful treatment of acute generalized pustular psoriasis with multiple comorbidities with oral tacrolimus.

Acute generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a serious illness. Despite various treatment methods, there is still lack of effective treatment plans for refractory cases with multiple comorbidities. This case report presents a 67-year-old woman with acute GPP, stage 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD), type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, in whom skin symptom disappearance and kidney function improvement were observed after the use of oral tacrolimus as the sole therapy.

Spongelike Bimetallic Selenides Derived from Prussian Blue Analogue on Layered Ni(II)-Based MOF for High-Efficiency Supercapacitors.

Recently, employing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as precursors to prepare various metal oxides, sulfides, and selenides has drawn enormous attention in the field of energy storage. In this paper, the nanosheets of an organophosphate-based Ni-MOF were successfully synthesized and employed as the template to prepare the Prussian blue analogue (PBA) nanoslices and nanoparticles on the nanosheet (PBA/Ni-MOF-NS- h, h stands for the reaction time.) by an in situ etching method.

Trends in photodynamic therapy for dermatology in recent 20 years: A scientometric review based on CiteSpace.

Objective: Analyze the research state and development trend of photodynamic therapy for dermatology using visual knowledge graphs derived from the Web of Science Core Collection database.

Methods: The Web of Science Core Collection database was utilized as the search data source for the bibliometric analysis, and the associated articles published between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2022, were obtained using the search terms "photodynamic therapy" and "dermatology". CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and additional tools were utilized for bibliometric analysis, and visual knowledge graphs were created.

Fire needle combined with photodynamic therapy for cutaneous infectious granulomatosis caused by mycobacterium chelonae: A case report.

Mycobacterium chelonae is a non-tuberculous mycobacteria, which can cause skin infectious granuloma through cosmetic injection. This disease's treatment requires a combination of sensitive antibiotics and a lengthy treatment cycle. Photodynamic therapy is still effective for patients who are unwilling to take antibiotics orally.

Transition metal doped WSiNmonolayer for water splitting electrocatalysts: a first-principles study.

High-performance water splitting electrocatalysts are urgently needed in the face of the environmental degradation and energy crisis. The first principles method was used in this study to systematically examine the electronic characteristics of transition metal (Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, and Ru) doped WSiN(TM@WSiN) and its potential as oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts. Our study shows that the doping of TM atoms significantly improves the catalytic performance of TM@WSiN, especially Fe@WSiNshows a low overpotential (= 470 mV).

Compound glycyrrhizin tablets combined with the 308 nm excimer laser in the treatment of vitiligo: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Although the 308 nm excimer laser is commonly used to cure vitiligo, its clinical efficacy is limited. Experts have found that the efficacy of compound glycyrrhizin tablets combined with the 308 nm excimer laser in the treatment of vitiligo is significantly enhanced, but the specific research methods and clinical data must be clarified.

Objective: To determine the clinical efficacy of compound glycyrrhizin tablets combined with the 308 nm excimer laser in the treatment of vitiligo.

Electrocatalytic activity of MoSiNmonolayers decorated with single transition metal atoms: a computational study.

Two-dimensional (2D) MoSiNis a newly created material that has superstability and ultrahigh carrier mobility. Besides, the hydrogen evolution reaction activity was proved excellent by doping transition metal (TM) atoms and introducing N vacancies. But, the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) of 2D MoSiNis unclear even.

Stochastic sensitivity analysis and feedback control of noise-induced transitions in a predator-prey model with anti-predator behavior.

In this study, we investigate a stochastic predator-prey model with anti-predator behavior. We first analyze the noise-induced transition from a coexistence state to the prey-only equilibrium by using the stochastic sensitive function technique. The critical noise intensity for the occurrence of state switching is estimated by constructing confidence ellipses and confidence bands, respectively, for the coexistence the equilibrium and limit cycle.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials of fire needle combined with ALA-PDT for the treatment of moderate-to- severe acne.

Background: Moderate-to-severe acne affects people's health and quality of life. As first-line therapeutic medications, isotretinoin and antibiotics are used to treat moderate-to-severe acne, but outcomes can be improved. The combination of fire needle and ALA-PDT may be one option.

Asiaticoside Combined With Carbon Ion Implantation to Improve the Biocompatibility of Silicone Rubber and to Reduce the Risk of Capsule Contracture.

Capsular contracture caused by silicone rubber is a critical issue in plastic surgery that urgently needs to be solved. Studies have shown that carbon ion implant in silicone rubber (carbon silicone rubber, C-SR) can significantly improve the capsular structure, but the effect of this improvement only appear 2months or later. In this study, asiaticoside combined with carbon silicone rubber was used to explore the changes in the capsule to provide a reference for the treatment of capsule contracture.

Tanshinone Capsules Combined With Prednisone for Facial Seborrheic Dermatitis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials.

Background: Facial seborrheic dermatitis (FSD), also called facial seborrheic eczema, is a common disease affecting both male and female patients worldwide. Tanshinone is the main bioactive component extracted from the Traditional Chinese Medicine , which is widely used in treating skin inflammatory diseases. It is necessary to evaluate the clinical evidence for tanshinone capsule treatment of FSD.

Comparative Genomic Data Provide New Insight on the Evolution of Pathogenicity in Species.

species are commonly isolated from environmental and clinical samples. As common causes of zoonotic mycosis, species may result in localized or disseminated infections, posing considerable threat to animal and human health. However, the pathogenic profiles of different species varied, in virulence, geographic location and host ranges, which have yet to be explored.

Clinical observation on therapeutic effect of filiform fire needle for vitiligo: A retrospective study.

Vitiligo is a common and refractory disease worldwide. The limited efficiency and side effects of the conventional treatment options create demands towards the development of strategies. Excellent repigmentation is demonstrated after several filiform fire needle sessions in the vitiligo lesions.

Appraisal of guidelines for androgenetic alopecia using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation II instrument.

Rationale, Aims And Objectives: The purpose of this study is to systematically evaluate the quality of methodological guidelines for androgenetic alopecia (AGA) using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE) II instrument by searching and analysing the available worldwide guidelines. This could provide a reference for selecting clinical guidelines and for developing new guidelines in the future.
