Professor owns unique experience of preventing bronchial asthma by the blistering therapy of dog-day moxibustion. He believes that the method has the action of festering moxibustion without its adverse reaction, the pathogenesis of asthma is the impairment of the dispersing and descending of the lung. When the lung,the spleen and the kidney are deficient,pathogenic factors,such as phlegm,damp and the cold,twist in the lung and the air passage is blocked, then asthma happens. Blistering therapy with little but fierce medicines acquires the features of specific but overall acupoints and more big blister. Meanwhile,with the emphasis on communication and nursing service,the therapy is apparently effective and worth widely using.

Article Synopsis
  • Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a complex condition that complicates diagnosis due to its diverse symptoms, as illustrated by a 59-year-old woman with asthma and sinusitis who presented with rare skin blisters and nerve issues.
  • Medical examinations showed elevated eosinophils, a specific antibody related to neutrophils, and signs of small vessel inflammation, leading to the diagnosis of EGPA.
  • Treatment with glucocorticoids and cyclophosphamide resulted in significant improvement, highlighting the importance of recognizing unusual skin lesions for early diagnosis and intervention to prevent serious complications.

Article Synopsis
  • Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a group of genetic skin disorders that lead to blistering and erosions on the skin due to minor trauma, with the simplex form (EBS) particularly linked to mutations in keratin genes K5 and K14.
  • EBS results in painful skin lesions that significantly affect the quality of life, and research has identified key genes involved in inflammation and skin integrity through studies on mouse models and human cells.
  • This review discusses the three subtypes of EBS, their genetic causes, gene expression patterns, molecular mechanisms, and recent advancements in treatment options.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a prevalent inflammatory skin condition impacting both children and adults globally, with a prevalence of 15-30%. It ranks as the most prevalent skin disorder based on disability-adjusted life-years by the World Health Organization. It presents with symptoms like skin irritation, redness, dryness, itchiness, and vesicular blisters and commonly coexists with other atopic symptoms like allergic rhinitis, asthma, and food allergies.
