AI Article Synopsis
- Psoriasis is a common skin condition that typically appears in areas of friction, but when it affects the lips, it's rare and often misdiagnosed.
- Despite various anti-psoriatic treatments available, most evidence comes from limited case studies with incomplete results.
- A 14-year-old boy with lip psoriasis was treated successfully with adalimumab, leading to complete remission after 6 months.
Article Abstract
Psoriasis is a common chronic skin disease mainly located in areas of friction. Psoriasis of the lips as an exclusive presentation is rare and often misdiagnosed. Different anti-psoriatic therapies have been proposed, but the literature is limited to case studies with partial results. Biologic therapies have revolutionized the management of many dermatologic conditions, including psoriasis, and they are approved for pediatric use. We report the case of a 14-year-old boy with a 2-year history of white-yellowish scaling lesions on his lips, without intraoral involvement. Lip biopsy showed a psoriasiform pattern. Treatment with adalimumab 40 mg every other week was started, and after 6 months of therapy, we obtained a complete remission of the patient's lip psoriasis.

Liposomes Loaded with 5-Fluorouracil Can Improve the Efficacy in Pathological Scars.
Int J Nanomedicine

Department of Dermatology, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha, 410008, People's Republic of China.
Article Synopsis
- - Pathological scars, like hypertrophic scars and keloids, are caused by excessive fibroblast activity and collagen buildup, leading to pain, itching, and psychological distress for patients.
- - Researchers developed 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) loaded liposomes (5-Fu-Lip) to enhance the delivery and effectiveness of 5-Fu for treating these scars, overcoming issues of limited drug penetration.
- - 5-Fu-Lip demonstrated better results in reducing fibroblast activity and scar severity compared to traditional 5-Fu, suggesting it could be a more effective treatment option for pathological scars.
Disruption of post-thymic tolerance in skin-reactive TCR transgenic mice through the interaction of lymphopenia and intestinal microbiota.

Autoimmune diseases often arise from conditions where the immune system is compromised. While lymphopenia-induced proliferation (LIP) is crucial for immune system development and maturation, it is also caused by environmental insults, such as infection, and becomes a risk factor for autoimmunity in adults. We used Dsg3H1 TCR transgenic mice, whose T cells are designed to recognize desmogrein-3, a skin antigen, to explore the impact of lymphopenia on post-thymic tolerance.

To improve the permeation of curcumin, we prepared curcumin-based ionic liquid (Cur-Bet-IL) (IL formed using curcumin succinic anhydride and betaine) from curcumin by combining theoretical calculation and experimental research and then prepared curcumin-based ionic liquid liposome (Cur-Bet-IL-Lip). The Cur-Bet-IL-Lip has good stability (stored for 10 days without significant changes) and biocompatibility, which encompasses not only the properties of curcumin but also the characteristics of ionic liquids and liposomes. Cur-Bet-IL-Lip can penetrate the stratum corneum and deliver curcumin to the epidermis and dermis of the skin, and the cumulative permeability of curcumin after 24 h was 49%.

Article Synopsis
- A cutaneous horn, or cornu cutaneum, is a growth made of keratinizing skin cells that often develops over underlying skin lesions such as benign and malignant tumors, infections, or other skin conditions.
- The text describes two cases: a 22-year-old woman with a cutaneous horn linked to a stubborn wart on her toe, and a 57-year-old man with a horn associated with inverted follicular keratosis on his lip.
- The most common conditions related to cutaneous horns are actinic keratosis, squamous cell carcinoma, and seborrheic keratosis, with several benign and malignant tumors associated with these skin growths.
