Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of home remodeling and food allergy (FA) on the development of atopic dermatitis (AD) in children.

Methods: The Modified International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood questionnaire was used to survey 4,111 children recruited from 3 kindergartens and 6 elementary schools from Seongnam, Korea. Participants' parents agreed for them to participate in physical examinations, skin prick tests, and blood tests.

Results: Home remodeling in the past 12 months (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 3.40, = 0.006), lifetime diagnosis of FA (aOR 3.95, < 0.001), parental history of AD (aOR 2.67, = 0.001), and FA (aOR 2.35, = 0.004) were independent risk factors for lifetime diagnosis of AD ever. When history of home remodeling and FA were combined, the risk for moderate-to-severe AD by scoring atopic dermatitis (SCORAD) score increased (aOR, 7.19, = 0.011, for interaction = 0.034).

Conclusion: Home remodeling, lifetime diagnosis of FA, parental history of AD, and parental history of FA were independent risk factors for AD. In addition, we observed a synergistic interaction between home remodeling and FA in the risk of moderate-to-severe AD.

The Significant Role of Atopic Skin Diathesis in Prurigo Nodularis.

Sisli Etfal Hastan Tip Bul

December 2024

Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, Istanbul University, Istanbul, Türkiye.

Objectives: Atopic skin plays a significant etiological role in the development of prurigo nodularis (PN). In addition to atopic dermatitis (AD), atopic skin diathesis without eczema can also contribute to the development of PN due to its association with itching. This study aims to evaluate PN in terms of AD/atopic skin diathesis, associated comorbidities, and clinical findings.

Objective: To present and analyze eight clinical cases illustrating the use of rose stem cell-derived exosomes (RSCEs) in treating various dermatological conditions and to review current literature on plant-derived exosomes in medicine and dermatology.

Background: RSCEs possess low cytotoxicity, high biocompatibility, and effective cellular uptake, making them promising agents for dermatological therapies. A literature review included in the introduction and discussion covers the broader role of plant-derived exosomes, highlighting their therapeutic potential in skin treatment.

Identifying Disease Associated Multi-Omics Network With Mixed Graphical Models Based on Markov Random Field Model.

Genet Epidemiol

January 2025

Interdisciplinary Program of Bioinformatics, College of Natural Science, Seoul National University, Seoul, South Korea.

In this article, we proposed a new method named fused mixed graphical model (FMGM), which can infer network structures associated with dichotomous phenotypes. FMGM is based on a pairwise Markov random field model, and statistical analyses including the proposed method were conducted to find biological markers and underlying network structures of the atopic dermatitis (AD) from multiomics data of 6-month-old infants. The performance of FMGM was evaluated with simulations by using synthetic datasets of power-law networks, showing that FMGM had superior performance for identifying the differences of the networks compared to the separate inference with the previous method, causalMGM (F1-scores 0.
