Real-Time Experience of Abrocitinib for the Treatment of Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid: A Case Report.

Background: Mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP), a rare autoimmune vesiculous and erosive disorder, may affect multiple mucous membranes, with the oral cavity being the most commonly affected site. Its treatment depends on the site(s) of mucosal involvement and disease severity.

Patients And Methods: A 62-year-old female patient with MMP that predominantly involved the oral cavity strongly rejected systemic corticosteroid or immunosuppressive agents and was successfully treated with abrocitinib, a highly selective JAK-1 inhibitor with a good safety profile.

Ferrostatin 1 ameliorates UVB-induced damage of HaCaT cells by regulating ferroptosis.

Ferroptosis, a type of programmed cell death, occurs when there is oxidative stress and lipid peroxides. This condition is marked by lipid peroxidation that relies on iron and the reduction of cellular defences against oxidation. To investigate the effect of UVB irradiation on ferroptosis of human keratinocytes HaCaT cells, the cells were pretreated with Ferrostatin 1 (Fer-1, 10 μM), an ferroptosis inhibitor and then irradiated with UVB (20 mJ/cm ) for 30 min to detect related indexes of ferroptosis through MTT assay, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, flow cytometry, reactive oxygen species (ROS) assay, western blotting.

Identification of the role of autophagy-related TNFSF10/ hsa-let-7a-5p axis in vitiligo development and potential herbs exploring based on a bioinformatics analysis.

Background: Vitiligo is a common clinical disorder caused by the destruction of epidermal melanocytes, which is often associated with autoimmune mechanisms. Autophagy plays a crucial role in maintaining cellular homeostasis and exhibits close associations with various autoimmune disorders. While dysautophagy of melanocytes is associated with vitiligo pathogenesis, there is a lack of studies on autophagy-related genes (ARGs) in blood samples from individuals with vitiligo.

Granulomatous rosacea (GR) is a rare inflammatory skin disease characterized by persistent, hard, yellow, brown, red, or flesh-colored papules, plaques, or nodules on the face. Limited data are available on patients treated for GR, with only case reports and case series published. Herein, we describe the case of a 53-year-old woman who presented to the hospital with persistent red to brown and pink patches on both cheeks accompanied by a burning sensation for one month.

Construction of a novel prognostic model in skin cutaneous melanoma based on chemokines-related gene signature.

Skin cutaneous melanoma, SKCM, is one of the most aggressive treatment-resistant tumours. Despite the fact that the BRAF oncogene and immunological checkpoints such as PD-1/PD-L1 and CTLA-4 have enhanced the therapeutic efficacy of SKCM, the subsequent resistance mechanisms and remedies have raised concerns. Chemokines have a significant role in the immunological milieu of tumor, which may increase the efficacy of checkpoint blockade and serve as a possible therapeutic intervention route.
