Article Abstract

Several studies have reported the pathogenic role of in atopic dermatitis (AD); the significance of 's influence on AD needs to be further investigated. Dupilumab, a monoclonal antibody to anti-Interleukin (IL) 4Rα, and ruxolitinib, a Janus kinase (JAK)1/2 inhibitor, are the first approved biologics and inhibitors widely used for AD treatment. In this study, we aimed to investigate how () affects the skin barrier and inflammation in AD and interacts with the AD therapeutic agents ruxolitinib and anti-IL4Rα. To induce an in vitro AD model, a reconstructed human epidermis (RHE) was treated with IL-4 and IL-13. was inoculated on the surface of RHE, and anti-IL4Rα or ruxolitinib was supplemented to model treated AD lesions. Histological and molecular analyses were performed. Skin barrier and ceramide-related molecules were downregulated by and reverted by anti-IL4Rα and ruxolitinib. Antimicrobial peptides, VEGF, Th2-related, and JAK/STAT pathway molecules were upregulated by and suppressed by anti-IL4Rα and ruxolitinib. These findings show that aggravated skin barrier function and Th2 inflammation and decreased the efficacy of anti-IL4Rα and ruxolitinib.

Background: Topical glucocorticoids are widely used in psoriasis treatment but may lead to systemic adverse effects, particularly with prolonged use. While pediatric cases are well-documented, adult-onset iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome from topical corticosteroids remains under-recognized.

Case Presentation: A 31-year-old woman with a 10-year history of psoriasis vulgaris self-administered high-potency clobetasol propionate ointment (monthly cumulative dose escalated from 30 g to 100 g over 22 months) under no physician supervision.

Vitiligo, a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by the presence of depigmented skin patches, remains a therapeutic challenge due to its multifactorial pathogenesis and the absence of highly effective treatment options. Although the exact etiology of vitiligo is not fully understood, factors such as genetic factors, oxidative stress, autoimmunity, and inflammation are implicated in the destruction of melanocytes. Current therapeutic strategies primarily focus on modulating immune responses and alleviating oxidative stress.

Skin cancer is the most common malignancy in the USA, yet many young adults underestimate their risk. To promote prevention, ten free sunscreen dispensers were installed across a university designated as a Skin Smart Campus. We conducted a cross-sectional survey of 203 students, staff, and faculty to assess sun protection behaviors and dispenser use.
