Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between different psoriasis types and thyroid dysfunction.
Methods: The data of patients diagnosed with psoriasis between January 2013 and October 2018 who underwent thyroid function tests were collected. Free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), total triiodothyronine (TT3), total thyroxine (TT4), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), thyroglobulin antibody (TGAb), and thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) were measured. The thyroid function of patients with psoriasis vulgaris, pustular psoriasis, erythrodermic psoriasis, and psoriatic arthritis was evaluated, and the differences in hormone levels and antibodies in the pituitary-thyroid axis with psoriasis type were analyzed.
Results: The data of a total of 468 patients were analyzed in this study. The proportion of normal hormone levels was higher among vulgaris patients ( < 0.001), while the erythrodermic patients were more likely to have decreased FT3 or FT4 but normal TSH ( < 0.001). FT3 levels were lower in pustular patients ( < 0.05), FT4 levels were lower in erythrodermic patients ( < 0.05), and TSH levels were higher in patients with psoriatic arthritis ( < 0.05). TPOAb levels were higher than normal in all patients, but there was no significant difference in the levels of TPOAb and TGAb among 4 types of the patients.
Conclusion: Psoriasis is related to thyroid dysfunction, especially in patients with atypical psoriasis types. The possibility of complications should be considered in erythrodermic patients.

The receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE), a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, is expressed in various cell types and mediates cellular responses to a wide range of ligands. The activation of RAGE triggers complex signaling pathways that drive inflammatory, oxidative, and proliferative responses, which are increasingly implicated in the pathogenesis of skin diseases. Despite its well-established roles in conditions such as diabetes, cancer, and chronic inflammation, the contribution of RAGE to skin pathologies remains underexplored.

Growing evidence suggests that serotonin is an important mediator in the cross-talk between immune and bone cells, playing a role in the pathogenesis of various types of inflammatory arthritis (IA). However, the relationship between circulating serotonin and different outcomes in three most prevalent IA - rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), remains limited and requires further investigation. This study was performed to evaluate variations in serotonin serum levels among RA, PsA, and axSpA and to explore the utility of this biochemical marker in the assessment of disease activity and health status measurements provided by the Multi-Dimensional Health Assessment Questionnaire (MDHAQ).

Whether autoimmune diseases caused any effects on the risk of cancers remained yet clarified. This study aimed to investigate the causal effect of autoimmune diseases on pan-cancers through mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. The GWAS summary datasets of 10 autoimmune diseases were derived from the IEU or UK biobank website.

Psoriasis is an uncommon immune-mediated adverse event linked to nivolumab, and its clinical characteristics remain inadequately defined. This study aims to investigate the clinical features and patterns of nivolumab-induced psoriasis, providing insights for the identification and management of this condition. Case reports and case series of nivolumab related psoriasis were gathered by searching Chinese and English databases for retrospective analysis until June 30, 2024.

Introduction: Cancer has emerged as one of the leading causes of fatality all over the world. Phytoconstituents are being studied for their synergistic effects, which include disease prevention by altering molecular pathways and immunomodulation without side effects. The present experiment aims to explore the cancer preventive activities of Linn leaves extract in skin cancer cell lines (A431) and colon cancer cell lines (COLO 320DM)).
