Background: The emergence of biological agents and small molecule drugs has revolutionized the treatment landscape for psoriasis, yet there remains a lack of systematic reviews elucidating the efficacy and safety of drugs for patients with psoriasis and mental disorders (MDs). The aim was to systemically evaluate the efficacy and safety of FDA-approved psoriasis drugs on MD symptoms and MD drugs on psoriasis symptoms.
Methods: We conducted comprehensive literature searches of the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library from inception to March 24, 2024, identifying 116 relevant studies for inclusion.
Results: Our review encompasses 62 clinical trials and 54 case reports/series. Analyses of clinical trials revealed a positive impact of psoriasis drugs on MD, with notable exceptions including lithium and benzodiazepine receptor agonists, which exhibited adverse effects on psoriasis. Furthermore, analysis of case reports/series highlighted the efficacy of drugs such as apremilast, etanercept, infliximab, and secukinumab in ameliorating MD symptoms, contrasting with detrimental effects observed with methotrexate (MTX), cyclosporine, adalimumab, and secukinumab. Notably, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) inhibitors and interleukin inhibitors demonstrated superior efficacy compared to conventional treatments. In the anxiety group, secukinumab showed the largest effective size as assessed by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale - Anxiety (HADS-A) index; In the depression group, ixekizumab showed the largest effective size assessed by the 16-item Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomology - Self-Report (QIDS-SR16) index.
Limitations: The extracted data cannot be meta-analyzed, as the measurement scale is not uniform.
Conclusions: This systematic review provides robust evidence regarding treatment options for individuals with psoriasis and MD, emphasizing the potential benefits of specific drugs in managing both conditions concurrently.

Background And Objective: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Despite advances in treatment, metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) remains a significant challenge due to its heterogeneity and resistance to therapy. Regorafenib, a multikinase inhibitor, can inhibit tumor progression through multiple mechanisms, thereby improving patient prognosis.

Background: Contingency management (CM), an incentive-based intervention to encourage target behaviors, effectively promotes medication adherence. However, efforts to extend CM to HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) have been lacking. As part of a randomized clinical trial to promote HIV Prevention among people who inject drugs (PWID), we examined the readiness of staff in community-based organizations serving PWID to implement CM for PrEP uptake and adherence in this population.

Background: Indocyanine green (ICG) is a near-infrared fluorescent dye widely used for intraoperative navigation during liver surgeries because of its non-radioactive nature, high safety, and minimal impact on liver function. However, variability in its dosage and concentration and its low imaging success rates have limited its widespread application. To address these issues, we developed a novel ICG-human serum albumin (ICG-HSA) complex to enhance fluorescence visualization during laparoscopic anatomical liver resection.

This comprehensive review explores the emergence of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO-NPs) as versatile nanomaterials, particularly exploring their biogenic synthesis methods through different biological entities such as plants, bacteria, fungi, viruses, and algae. These biological entities provide eco-friendly, cost-effective, biocompatible, and rapid methods for TiO-NP synthesis to overcome the disadvantages of traditional approaches. TiO-NPs have distinctive properties, including high surface area, stability, UV protection, and photocatalytic activity, which enable diverse applications.

Background: China is seeing a growing demand for rehabilitation treatments for post-stroke upper limb spastic paresis (PSSP-UL). Although acupuncture is known to be effective for PSSP-UL, there is room to enhance its efficacy.
Objective: This study explored a semi-personalized acupuncture approach for PSSP-UL that used three-dimensional kinematic analysis (3DKA) results to select additional acupoints, and investigated the feasibility, efficacy and safety of this approach.
