Although ultraviolet (UV) light or exogenous hormones have been associated with the development or exacerbation of melasma, the use of laser as a treatment modality has not been cited as a factor linked to the development of melasma lesions. It is unclear whether epidermal trauma caused by laser or other treatment can lead to the formation of a new melasma lesion. We report on the formation of new melasma lesions in a patient who was treated for acquired bilateral nevus of Ota-like macules (ABNOM) with a high-fluence 1064 nm Q-switched (QS) neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd/YAG) laser.

Purpose: Abnormal melanin synthesis causes hyperpigmentation disorders like melasma and lentigines, impacting psychological well-being. RNA interference (RNAi) uses small RNA molecules to inhibit gene expression by targeting specific mRNA, silencing genes involved in undesirable cellular functions. This study assessed INTASYL compounds, self-delivering RNAi molecules, designed to target and reduce tyrosinase gene expression to decrease pigmentation.

A 56-day culture experiment was conducted to assess the effects of lysophospholipid added to a low-fishmeal diet on growth performance, hepatopancreas health, and intestinal microbiome of . Three experimental diets were set up in this study: normal fishmeal positive control diet (20% fishmeal, P), low fishmeal negative control diet (12% fishmeal, N), and low fishmeal + lysophospholipid diet (12% fishmeal with 0.1% lysophospholipid, L).

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on reducing melanosis and maintaining the quality of frozen aquatic products by studying the interactions between epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO).
- EGCG was found to inhibit PPO activity in a dose-dependent manner, which helps in preventing the oxidation and discoloration of frozen products.
- The combination of EGCG and ice glazing significantly improved the quality of the frozen samples, showing a 77.17% reduction in melanosis and notable preservation of amino acids over six weeks.
