Aims Of The Study: The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-dermatitis effects of oak wood vinegar (OWV) in a 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB)-induced contact dermatitis mice model.
Materials And Methods: Immunoglobulin E (IgE) production, infiltration of immune cells (neutrophils, CD3+ cells), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression, skin thickness, and expression of phosphorylated STAT3 (signal transducers and activators of transcription 3) protein were tested in a DNCB-induced contact dermatitis model. In vitro wound healing and proliferative assays were also performed.
Results: OWV showed anti-inflammatory effects on DNCB-induced dermatitis in mice, leading to inhibition of IgE production, immune cell infiltration, and iNOS expression. Skin thickness and the level of phospho-STAT3 were dramatically reduced by OWV. Using the HaCaT human keratinocyte cell line, we confirmed that constitutive STAT3 activation induced faster proliferation of epithelial cells. In addition, OWV suppressed HaCaT proliferative ability and phospho-STAT3 levels.
Conclusions: The study revealed that OWV has anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative effects in a DNCB-induced contact dermatitis mice model. Furthermore, we showed that the mechanism by which OWV most likely inhibits epithelial proliferation is through STAT3 inactivation.

Article Synopsis
- Ferroptosis is highlighted as a type of cell death linked to inflammatory skin conditions, but its role in allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is not well understood.
- The study aimed to understand how ferroptosis contributes to ACD using a mouse model, focusing on different cell types and employing a treatment to inhibit this process.
- Results showed that ferroptosis was particularly significant in immune cells like neutrophils and CD8 T cells, and using a ferroptosis inhibitor improved skin inflammation and reduced cell death in ACD mice.

Article Synopsis
- Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a prevalent skin condition that results in chronic eczema, and the mature fruit of Cannabis sativa (Cannabis fructus) has shown potential antioxidant properties, though its mechanisms for treating AD are not well understood.
- Research involved the use of HPLC-ESI-MS/MS to identify key compounds in Cannabis fructus, particularly trilinolein, and assess its ability to prevent AD through various biological pathways.
- Findings indicated that trilinolein improves AD symptoms in experimental models by enhancing skin cell differentiation, reducing oxidative stress, and exhibiting a therapeutic effect similar to an established drug, crisaborole.

Introduction: Eczema and contact dermatitis are relatively common, non-life-threatening disease, but can reduce the patient's quality-of-life when it becomes chronic. This study describes two cases of bee venom acupuncture (BVA) and herbal medicine (San Wu Huangqin decoction; SWH) co-treatment for hand eczema and contact dermatitis, then confirms the effect of the combination therapy in an in vivo model of eczema.
Case Presentation: A 56-year-old female (case 1) and a 33-year-old male (case 2) presented to the clinic with symptoms of itching and erythema (case 1), and scaliness (case 2) on both hands.

Objectives: Ozone is widely applied to treat allergic skin diseases such as eczema, atopic dermatitis, and contact dermatitis. However, the specific mechanism remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the effects of ozonated oil on treating 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB)-induced allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) and the underling mechanisms.
