Article Abstract

Inflammatory skin diseases and skin cancers are usually accompanied by metabolic comorbidities or altered metabolic status. Metabolomic analysis indicates that patients with inflammatory skin diseases and skin cancers exhibit altered metabolites, including glycans, lipids, and amino acids. This suggests that metabolic reprogramming may play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of these skin diseases. The solute carrier (SLC) superfamily is responsible for the transport of a range of metabolites, which may serve as crucial intermediate links in the metabolic reprogramming of diseases. Nevertheless, research on the SLC superfamily in skin diseases remains limited, and the development of its drug targets is even more scarce. Therefore, this review is devoted to elucidating our current understanding of the role of the SLC family in the pathogenesis of inflammatory skin diseases and skin cancers, with a particular emphasis on its role in metabolic reprogramming. In doing so, we aim to provide a reference point for the subsequent development of drug targets for the SLC family in skin diseases.

Introduction: Erysipelas is a common disease in the emergency department, whereas necrotising soft tissue infections (NSTIs) are rare but more severe. The study aimed to investigate the prevalence, incidence, population-based incidence rate, one-year mortality and clinical presentation of erysipelas and NSTIs, and the aetiology, treatment and recurrence of erysipelas.

Methods: This was a population-based cohort study including acute non-trauma patients ≥ 18 years old with erysipelas or NSTIs from the Region of Southern Denmark in the period from 1 January 2016 to 19 March 2018.

Aging is characterized by a gradual decline in the functionality of all the organs and tissues, leading to various diseases. As the global population ages, the urgency to develop effective anti-aging strategies becomes increasingly critical due to the growing severity of associated health problems. Immunotherapy offers novel and promising approaches to combat aging by utilizing approaches including vaccines, antibodies, and cytokines to target specific aging-related molecules and pathways.

Tahiti or the "myth of Paradise", Bora Bora, "the Pearl of the Pacific". Who has never wanted to take a plane and come and land on the heavenly beaches of Polynesia, a French territory at the antipodes of mainland France lost in the middle of the Pacific? However, we do not imagine that 60% of Polynesians live below the metropolitan low-income threshold or that life expectancy is lower than that of the mainland due to the high prevalence of cardiovascular diseases with three quarters overweight population.In addition to non-transmissible metabolic diseases, various pathologies common to temperate countries present specificities in Polynesia, leading to sometimes different management and medical reasoning.

Background: Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS) is an autoinflammatory disease caused by a gain-of-function mutation in the gene, which regulates inflammasome-mediated interleukin-1β (IL-1β) production. This leads to recurrent episodes of fever, rash, and arthritis, typically beginning in childhood.

Objective: To demonstrate the role of a missense mutation, c.
