Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic and inflammatory skin disease with intense itchiness that is highly prevalent worldwide.The pathogenesis of AD is complex and closely related to genetic factors, immunopathogenic factors, environmental factors, and skin infections. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are non-hematopoietic progenitor cells derived from the mesenchymal stroma.

The data of patient characteristics, drug factors and environmental elements of adverse reactions were collected and statistically analyzed.

Background: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been extensively reported to play critical roles in the pathogenesis of various disease, especially in cancer. However, little is known about the role of lncRNAs in the pathogenesis of pediatric allergic asthma.
Methods: High-throughput sequencing analysis was performed to identify differentially expressed mRNAs and lncRNAs in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 3 children with allergic asthma and 3 matched healthy controls.
Background: Allergic asthma is the most common type of asthma and often occurs in early life with increasing comorbidities, including atopic dermatitis and allergic rhinitis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in the pathogenesis of numerous immune and inflammatory disorders, particularly allergic inflammation. The specific miRNA profiles of children with allergic asthma have not been fully delineated and still require in-depth study.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAtherosclerosis (AS) is a progressive disease with a complex pathogenesis which is characterized by dyslipidemia and changes in the vascular wall composition. According to the degree of lesions, atherosclerosis can be divided into four stages: hyperlipidemia, lipid stria, fiber plaque, and atherosclerotic plaque. The present study aimed to establish a prediction model for the different pathological stages of AS based on lipidomics.

Aim: To screen the common allergens, allergen spectrum, and IgE difference between type 2 inflammatory allergic diseases and other allergic diseases in Weifang, China.
Objective: To analyse the role of serum cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) levels in the differential diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Methods: This case-control study analysed the clinical and laboratory characteristics of patients with RA and healthy control subjects. The diagnostic ability of COMP for RA was evaluated by comparing it with anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody levels.
Background: Multiple epiphysis dysplasia (MED) is a common skeletal dysplasia with a significant locus heterogeneity. In the majority of clinically defined cases, mutations have been identified in the gene encoding cartilage algometric matrix protein (COMP).
Methods: Five patients were included in the study.
Background: Pseudoachondroplasia (PSACH) is an autosomal-dominant osteochondrodysplasia due to mutations in the gene encoding cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP). Clinical diagnosis of PSACH is based primarily on family history, physical examination, and radiographic evaluation. There is evidence that decreased serum COMP concentration may serve as a diagnostic marker in PSACH.
