Papillon-Lefevre syndrome (PLS) is an extremely rare inherited disease as an autosomal recessive trait. The disorder is characterized by diffuse palmoplantar keratoderma and premature loss of both deciduous and permanent teeth. This paper described a case of PLS with classic clinical features and briefly reviewed the relevant literature.

Article Synopsis
- The human peptide LL-37 can trigger autophagy in macrophages, but its effectiveness varies based on post-translational modifications (PTMs) and its cellular source.
- Neutrophil-derived LL-37 was modified and did not induce autophagy, while macrophage-derived LL-37, mostly native, was effective in initiating this process.
- The presence of an intact N-terminal di-leucine motif in LL-37 is essential for autophagy activation, highlighting how modifications can influence its role in infection and inflammation.

An uncontrolled activity of neutrophil serine proteases (NSPs) contributes to inflammatory diseases. Cathepsin C (CatC) is known to activate NSPs during neutrophilic differentiation and represents a promising pharmacological target in NSP-mediated diseases. In humans, Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome (PLS) patients have mutations in theirCTSC gene, resulting in the complete absence of CatC activity.

The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has presented new challenges and opportunities for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), aiming to provide objective assessments and improve clinical effectiveness. However, there is a lack of comprehensive analyses on the research trajectory, key directions, current trends, and future perspectives in this field. This research aims to comprehensively update the progress of AI in TCM over the past 24 years, based on data from the Web of Science database covering January 1, 2000, to March 1, 2024.

Article Synopsis
- * The review covers the structure, function, and genetic variants of CTSC, linking them to several syndromes like Papillon-Lefevre syndrome, Haim-Munk Syndrome, and aggressive periodontitis, which involve skin and dental issues.
- * CTSC's role in diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COVID-19, and various cancers highlights its potential as a target for new therapies in autoimmune and inflammatory conditions.
