Article Synopsis
- Researchers discovered a new treatment called compound 4aa, which can help people with atopic dermatitis (AD) by blocking certain signals in the immune system.
- This new compound is derived from chlorophyll a and showed promising results in reducing symptoms like itching and redness in both human patients and mice.
- It was found to be safe and well-tolerated, suggesting it could be a good option for people suffering from AD in the future.
Objectives: Although several self-reported questionnaire-based studies have found an association between smoking and moderately increased albuminuria, this result remains controversial. We investigated whether moderately increased albuminuria was associated with smoking status, verified by urinary cotinine (an objective biomarker of tobacco exposure), using population-based, nationally representative data.
Methods: This study included 2059 participants aged ≥ 50 years from the 2014 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
