Dermatosis neglecta (DN) is a rare condition, often linked to psychosomatic disorders, with an unclear etiology. Chilblain lupus erythematosus (CHLE) constitutes a rare variant of cutaneous lupus erythematosus, frequently mistaken for idiopathic chilblain due to its chilblain-like lesions. To date, no instances of concurrent DN and CHLE occurring at the site of a skin flap or graft have been documented.

Background: Melanoma is an aggressive skin tumor with limited therapeutic options due to rapid proliferation, early metastasis, and poor prognosis. Baicalin (BA), a natural flavonoid, shows promise in inducing ferroptosis and apoptosis but faces challenges of poor solubility and bioavailability. To address these issues, we developed a multifunctional drug delivery system: manganese-doped ZIF-8 nanoparticles (ZIF(Mn)) loaded with BA and modified with folic acid (FA) and polyethylene glycol (PEG).

This paper explores the synchronization problem in fractional multiplex higher-order networks. Initially, a fractional multiplex higher-order network model is established, which seamlessly integrates multiplex structures with higher-order interactions. Subsequently, by leveraging a well-crafted Lyapunov function, the Lyapunov direct method, and fractional inequalities, it is demonstrated that the fractional multiplex higher-order network can achieve intra-layer synchronization, inter-layer synchronization, and complete synchronization.

Background: Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by flushing, erythema, papules, and pustules on the central face. It affects patient appearance and is noted for its chronicity, recurrence, and resistance to treatment. Effective rosacea treatment requires repairing the skin barrier, reducing inflammation, and promoting vasoconstriction.

Herein, the study reports the first electrochemical nickel-catalyzed enantioselective hydro-arylation/alkenylation of enones in an undivided cell with low-cost electrodes in the absence of external reductants and supporting electrolytes. Aryl bromides/iodides/triflates or alkenyl bromides are employed as electrophiles for the efficient preparation of more than 56 valuable β-arylated/alkenylated ketones in a simple manner (up to 97% yield, 97% ee). With the advantages of electrochemistry, excellent functional group tolerance and late-stage modification of complex natural products and pharmaceuticals made the established protocol greener and more economic.

Article Synopsis
  • Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that causes facial redness and visible blood vessels, with its exact causes still unclear, and current treatments not fully effective.
  • The study investigated the effects of the JAK inhibitor tofacitinib on rosacea, showing promising results in a mouse model where it reduced inflammation and improved skin appearance.
  • In patients, oral tofacitinib also led to significant improvements in redness and flushing, indicating its potential as a new therapeutic option targeting the JAK/STAT signaling pathway in rosacea treatment.

Cross-electrophile coupling reactions of different electrophiles have been extensively studied but mainly limited to bromides and iodides. Here, we report an electrochemically induced nickel-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling strategy between alkenyl triflates and α-chloroamides in an undivided cell under mild reaction conditions, affording the α-functionalized amide derivatives in good to excellent yields with broad substrate scopes and good functional group tolerance. The control experiments were conducted, and a plausible mechanism was proposed.

Herein, we describe an electroreductive cross-electrophile coupling protocol for the construction of valuable monofluoroalkenes from easily accessible alkyl or alkenyl halides with -difluoroalkenes. The reaction can be conducted under sustainable and mild conditions delivering valuable and functionalized monofluoroalkenes with excellent -selectivity. The protocol's most notable advantage is the release of nickel catalyst from the inexpensive electrodes without the addition of extra hazardous metal catalyst and superstoichiometric reductant.

  • Acquired digital fibrokeratoma (ADF) is a rare skin condition often misdiagnosed; this report discusses 5 cases of ADF in patients with a mean age of 42.6 years.
  • All cases were characterized by solitary, skin-colored, firm papules on the hands or feet, with diameters less than 1 cm, and were misidentified as other skin lesions before being confirmed by histopathology.
  • Surgical resection was performed on all patients, with no recurrences noted during a follow-up period of over six months.

An electroreductive cross-electrophile coupling protocol was developed for the construction of valuable 1,3-dienes from vinyl bromides. Furthermore, this scalable method can also be used to forge complex [4 + 2] cycloadducts in a one-pot manner. One of the most important advantages of this green and sustainable protocol is the in situ release of nickel catalyst from the inexpensive electrodes without the addition of extra harmful metal catalysts and reductant.

Objective: By presenting a case study on multiple instances of Bowen's disease and the consistent use of narrow-band ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) phototherapy over a three-year period, our aim is to enhance the comprehension of domestic clinicians regarding the disease. Additionally, we seek to review existing literature, encouraging dermatologists to consider clinical secondary primary lesion diagnoses.

Method: Our approach involves analyzing a diagnosed case of multiple Bowen's disease, examining clinical manifestations, histopathology, imaging results, and treatment methods related to NB-UVB phototherapy.

Purpose: Melanomas are highly malignant and rapidly develop drug resistance due to dysregulated apoptosis. Therefore, pro-apoptotic agents could be effective for the management of melanoma. Hydrogen sulfide is ubiquitous in the body, and exogenous hydrogen sulfide has been reported to show inhibitory and pro-apoptotic effects on cancer cells.

Background: Condyloma cuminata (CA) is a sexually transmitted disease caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, which is prone to recurrence and difficult to cure in the short term. CD207 is a C-type lectin receptor that is specifically expressed on the surface of Langerhans cells (LCs) and is considered as an LC-specific immunohistochemical marker. The main purpose of this study is to explore the correlation between the expression of CD207 in CA skin lesions and the duration of CA disease course and frequency of recurrence, in order to provide new prognostic markers for CA to clinicians.

Article Synopsis
  • The text discusses a rare skin infection caused by an atypical bacterium primarily affecting workers in seafood processing and those handling fish, occurring after skin punctures.
  • It highlights a specific case of a female patient with chronic idiopathic myelofibrosis who developed a skin infection while being treated with the JAK inhibitor ruxolitinib, despite not having a known source of injury from fish.
  • The infection was diagnosed through histopathology and NGS sequencing, and the patient was successfully treated with antibiotics after 10 months, underscoring the importance of monitoring for infections as the use of JAK inhibitors increases.

ELISA or Western blot is known as a basic technique to be used for measurement of intracellular proteins, but in some cases, they cannot overcome problems such as normalization between samples or extraneous costs for required commercial kits. In order to address this problem, we developed a rapid and effective method (a hybrid of Western blot and ELISA). We use this new hybrid method to detect and normalize trace protein changes in gene expression intracellularly at a lower cost.

Chromosome 16p11.2 reciprocal genomic disorder, resulting from recurrent copy-number variants (CNVs), involves intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and schizophrenia, but the responsible mechanisms are not known. To systemically dissect molecular effects, we performed transcriptome profiling of 350 libraries from six tissues (cortex, cerebellum, striatum, liver, brown fat, and white fat) in mouse models harboring CNVs of the syntenic 7qF3 region, as well as cellular, transcriptional, and single-cell analyses in 54 isogenic neural stem cell, induced neuron, and cerebral organoid models of CRISPR-engineered 16p11.
