Black-spot poison ivy is an uncommon presentation of poison ivy (Toxicodendron) allergic contact dermatitis. A 78-year-old sought evaluation of a black spot present on her right hand amid pruritic vesicles. The presentation of a black spot on the skin in a clinical context suggesting poison ivy is indicative of black-spot poison ivy. Dermoscopy revealed a jagged, centrally homogeneous, dark brown lesion with a red rim. A skin sample was obtained and compared against a poison ivy standard using ultra-fast liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UFLC-MS/MS). This finding confirmed the presence of multiple urushiol congeners in the skin sample. Black-spot poison ivy may be added to the list of diagnoses that show a specific dermoscopic pattern.

Article Synopsis
- Lacquer trees, which are important for the economy, face stress from high summer temperatures, prompting a study of their responses using transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic analyses.
- The research discovered significant changes in metabolites, with 224 being upregulated and 69 downregulated, alongside hormonal fluctuations where jasmonic acid increased while abscisic acid decreased.
- Key findings included the upregulation of specific genes linked to nitrogen transport and amino acid production, as well as 35 protein modules identified to be involved in secondary metabolite biosynthesis, indicating complex regulatory mechanisms at play.

Toxicodendron species are economically and medicinally important trees because of their rich sources of natural products. We present three chromosome-level genome assemblies of Toxicodendron vernicifluum 'Dali', Toxicodendron succedaneum 'Vietnam', and T. succedaneum 'Japan', which display diverse production capacities of specialized metabolites.

This study examined five plants () for their potential to address insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes. assays showed that leaves and flowers inhibited α-glucosidase and α-amylase while enhancing glucose uptake in normal and insulin-resistant HepG2 cells. Phytochemical screening and SPE purification identified the key constituents responsible for the effects.
