AI Article Synopsis

  • - Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a skin condition characterized by inflammation, impaired skin barrier, itchy lesions, and abnormal immune responses; researchers aimed to test a combination of three herbs (LE, HC, SP) for its anti-AD effects.
  • - Using advanced chromatography techniques, 42 compounds were identified in the individual and combined herb extracts, with the combined extract (LHS) showing higher levels of specific flavonoid glycosides known for their potential health benefits.
  • - The study found that LHS was more effective than any individual extract in reducing epidermal thickness, mast cell numbers, and immunoglobulin E release, indicating its superior anti-AD properties through synergistic bioactive compound changes from the herb combination

Article Abstract

Unlabelled: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is an inflammatory skin disease showing skin barrier dysfunction, eczematous lesions, severe itching, and abnormal immune responses. The aim of this study was to determine whether an herb combination of (LE), (HC), and (SP) has a superior anti-AD effect. Forty-two compounds were identified in LE, HC, SP, and a combined herb extract of LE, HC, and SP (LHS) using ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC)-Orbitrap mass spectrometer (MS). The concentration of flavonoid glycosides including orientin (luteolin-8--glucoside), quercetin-3--rhamnoside, and luteolin-7--glucoside in the LHS was increased than in individual extracts. Furthermore, the treatment of LHS most effectively inhibited the increase of epidermal thickness, the number of mast cells, and the release of immunoglobulin E compared with that with each extract. These results suggest that the potential anti-AD effects of the LHS are due to the changes of bioactive compounds by the combination of herbs.

Background: The prevalence and burden of atopic dermatitis (AD) are disproportionately high in individuals with skin of colour (SOC). Previous research shows that risk for xerosis and/or dyspigmentation is heightened in this population and may be more bothersome. However, there are no patient-reported instruments developed specifically for these disease sequelae in patients with SOC.

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, pruritic, and inflammatory dermatosis seen in individuals with an atopic predisposition. This study aimed to examine the immunoreactivity of spexin and TRPM2 in skin samples from patients with AD and MF lesions using immunohistochemical methods.

Materials And Methods: The study utilized a total of 60 skin samples, comprising 20 from AD patients, 20 from MF patients, and 20 from control subjects.

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) was first described in the early 1990s. Initially a rarity, it is now the most common cause of dysphagia for solid foods in young adults. Its prevalence is estimated to be 1:2000.
