Tralokinumab, a monoclonal anti-IL-13 antibody, is approved for treating atopic dermatitis (AD). Real-world data on its effectiveness and safety are limited. To evaluate the real-world effectiveness and safety of tralokinumab and the transition of laboratory indexes during 24-week treatment for AD patients. This retrospective study included 104 patients with moderate-to-severe AD treated with tralokinumab 300 mg every 2 weeks after primary 600 mg. Clinical and laboratory indexes were assessed until week 24. At week 24, achievement rates of Eczema Area and Severity Index 75 (EASI 75), EASI 90, and investigator's global assessment 0 out of 1 in systemic therapy-naïve patients, 83.3%, 72.2%, and 44.4%, respectively, were higher than those in systemic therapy-experienced patients, 46.7%, 20.0%, and 6.7%, respectively. Serum levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE), thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) significantly decreased at week 24, whereas neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) significantly decreased at week 12 from baseline. Twenty-nine patients (27.9%) experienced mild treatment-emergent adverse events. Tralokinumab treatment showed prosperous therapeutic effects and good tolerability in real-world practice for AD, with higher effectiveness in patients without prior systemic therapy compared with those with prior systemic therapy. Tralokinumab treatment significantly decreased clinical and laboratory indexes, EASI, Peak Pruritus-Numerical Rating Scale, IgE, TARC, LDH, NLR, and SIRI.

The relationship between vitamin C nutritional status and inflammation has garnered increasing attention, but studies in younger populations are limited. This study aimed to investigate the association between serum vitamin C and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels in children and adolescents. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).

The mechanisms underlying the impact of probiotic supplementation on health remain largely elusive. While previous studies primarily focus on the discovery of novel bioactive bacteria and alterations in the microbiome environment to explain potential probiotic effects, our research delves into the role of living Lactiplantibacillus (formerly known as Lactobacillus) and their conditioned media, highlighting that only the former, not dead bacteria, enhance the healthspan of Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans).
