Article Synopsis
  • SAPHO syndrome is a rare inflammatory disease that is hard to diagnose and treat due to its various symptoms, lack of specific tests, and limited treatment options focused mainly on symptom relief.
  • A case study details a 32-year-old Chinese woman with severe joint pain and skin lesions, who did not respond well to standard treatments like NSAIDs and biologics.
  • After starting baricitinib, a JAK inhibitor, she saw significant improvement in her symptoms within two weeks, leading to a reduction in dosage, and no recurrence or side effects during follow-up, suggesting that baricitinib could be an effective new treatment option for this condition.

A Case of Paradoxical Reactions to Biologic Therapy for Psoriasis.

Clin Cosmet Investig Dermatol

June 2023

Department of Dermatology, Dushu Lake Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University (Medical Center of Soochow University, Suzhou Dushu Lake Hospital), Suzhou, People's Republic of China.

Article Synopsis
  • Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that is treated with biologic agents, which can sometimes cause unexpected side effects known as paradoxical reactions.
  • A case study describes how a patient developed pyoderma gangrenosum and eczema due to a specific biologic therapy, secukinumab, but was successfully treated with baricitinib.
  • These paradoxical reactions highlight the need for more research to better understand their causes and to create personalized treatment plans for patients on biologic therapies.

Direct Immunofluorescence of IgG on Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded Tissue by Heat-Induced Antigen Retrieval as a Sensitive Method for the Diagnosis of Pemphigus.

Clin Cosmet Investig Dermatol

May 2023

Department of Dermatology, Dushu Lake Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University (Medical Center of Soochow University, Suzhou Dushu Lake Hospital), Suzhou, 215123, People's Republic of China.

Purpose: Direct immunofluorescence (DIF) on frozen sections (DIF-F) plays a key role in the identification and differential diagnosis of bullous dermatoses, which are a group of critical autoimmune diseases that include pemphigus, bullous pemphigoid (BP), and epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA). However, this technique requires specialized laboratory equipment conditions, sample acquisition and sample preservation. In this study, the application value of DIF on paraffin-embedded tissue sections (DIF-P) detecting IgG using heat-induced antigen retrieval (HIAR) in the diagnosis of bullous dermatosis was explored.

Biallelic mutations in LSS in autosomal-recessive mutilating palmoplantar keratoderma.

Exp Dermatol

May 2023

Department of Dermatology, Dushu Lake Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University (Medical Center of Soochow University, Suzhou Dushu Lake Hospital), Suzhou, China.

Article Synopsis
  • * A study focused on a 38-year-old Chinese male patient revealed biallelic variants in the LSS gene associated with his condition, specifically mutations c.683C>T (Thr228Ile) and c.779G>A (Arg260His).
  • * The research demonstrated that the Arg260His mutant had significantly reduced expression and no enzymatic activity, while the Thr228Ile mutant had partial activity, highlighting the connection between LSS mutations and mutilating PPK.

A Novel Variant and a Missense Variant Identified in the Gene in Three Chinese Familieswith Dyskeratosis Congenita.

Clin Cosmet Investig Dermatol

September 2022

Department of Dermatology, Dushu Lake Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University (Medical Center of Soochow University, Suzhou Dushu Lake Hospital), Suzhou Ctiy, Jiangsu, People's Republic of China.

Purpose: Dyskeratosis congenita (DC) is an inherited telomere biology disorder characterized clinically by mucocutaneous triad of reticulate hyperpigmentation, nail changes and oral leukoplakia. Bone marrow failure, pulmonary fibrosis and malignancies are the mainly life-threatening causes. There are X-linked recessive, autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive patterns of DC.
