Background: It was reported that pseudoexfoliative material deteriorates iris, brain, heart and lung functions. This material is also found in the skin.

Aims: The purpose of this study was to investigate the possible effects of pseudoexfoliation material on the aging of the facial skin.

Study Design: Cross-sectional study.

Methods: Forty pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PES) cases and 40 age- and gender-matched controls were evaluated. Job, cigarette use and the presence of any systemic diseases as well as the duration of sun exposure for all the cases were recorded. All of the cases underwent facial skin examination with Wrinkle Assessment Scale as per Lemperle G et al. and Pinch Test.

Results: Wrinkle Assessment Scale scores of the groups also were compared for all 8 facial locations. There were statistically significant differences found between Wrinkle Assessment Scale scores in PES and Control Group for all 8 locations. Mean Wrinkle Assessment Scale scores of women were 4.12 ± 0.74 in Control Group and 4.75 ± 0.37 in PES group (p = 0.0001). For men, mean Wrinkle Assessment Scale scores were 3.77 ± 0.72 in Control group and 4.54 ± 0.36 in PES group (p = 0.002).

Conclusion: These results implies that there is quicker progression in aging of facial skin in PES than normals.

'Tuogu' and 'Bingtang' plums display unique textural responses to salt curing, manifesting in volume reduction, surface wrinkling, and alterations in color and texture, alongside ongoing material exchange. Over a seven-day salting period, 'Tuogu' plums lost 14.9 % of their moisture, compared to 'Bingtang' plums' 24.

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a major pro-inflammatory cytokine that demonstrates a robust correlation with age and body mass index (BMI) as part of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype. IL-6 cytokines also play a crucial role in metabolic homeostasis and regenerative processes primarily via the canonical STAT3 pathway. Thus, selective modulation of IL-6 signaling may offer a unique opportunity for therapeutic interventions.

With the growing demand for aesthetic enhancements, particularly filler injections for nasolabial folds (NLFs), there is a need for more objective and quantitative assessment methods beyond the traditional subjective scales like the Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale (WSRS). This study introduces a novel evaluation method combining 3-dimensional (3D) imaging and grayscale analysis to objectively assess NLF severity and treatment outcomes. A total of 100 healthy participants (86 females, 14 males; mean age 41.
