In this issue of Dermatol Sinica, Ku et al. conducted a narrative review to identify different adverse skin reactions and associated risk factors in HCW and the public with prolonged use of masks during the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] They reported that retroauricular dermatitis, cheilitis, rosacea, acne vulgaris, nasal bridge damage, itch, allergic contact dermatitis, and irritant contact dermatitis are common mask-related adverse skin reactions. In addition, the long duration of wearing masks, preexisting skin diseases, and being HCWs are highlighted as definite risk factors. This review summarized the mask-related dermatoses and the associated risk factors. Therefore, it helps HCWs and the public adopt appropriate preventative measures based on their individualized circumstances. Vitiligo is a chronic autoimmune depigmenting skin disorder resulting from the selective destruction of melanocytes. The pathogenesis of vitiligo is complex and the therapeutic choice for vitiligo was limited in the past. The wood’s light, dermoscopy, and clinical photography were traditionally used to diagnose vitiligo. Interestingly, several potential biomarkers and advanced noninvasive skin imaging such as reflectance confocal microscopy and optical coherence tomography have recently assisted in evaluating vitiligo disease activity and severity. The clinical management of vitiligo is aimed at halting disease progression and facilitating repigmentation. In this issue of Dermatol Sinica, Shen et al. update the pathogenesis of vitiligo, discuss emerging biomarkers for the assessment of vitiligo disease activity and severity, and summarize prospective targeted therapies in treating vitiligo.[2] Various scientific and technological breakthroughs have been achieved in the field of medicine, especially in the field of dermatology, improving the accuracy of disease diagnosis and treatment to a new stage, in which the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has played an indispensable role. However, a study in 2020 found that while 85% of dermatologists were aware that AI is an emerging technology conducive to the development of dermatology, only 24% had a better understanding of the field.[3] In this issue of Dermatol Sinica, Ye and Chen review the recent new development of AI in dermatology, to promote dermatologists in the better understanding and mastering of it.[4] In this issue of Dermatol Sinica, Song et al. reported that hypertrophic scar patients owned elevated HOX transcript antisense intergenic RNA (HOTAIR) and decreased miR-30a-5p.[5] HOTAIR knockdown can inhibit the proliferation, migration, and collagen synthesis of scar fibroblasts by negatively regulating the expression of miR-30a-5p. Ye et al. reported that dupilumab showed good efficacy and safety in patients with photodermatoses through light-induced type 2 inflammatory response.[6","PeriodicalId":11107,"journal":{"name":"Dermatologica Sinica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135913337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The patient was previously diagnosed with biopsy-proven bullous pemphigoid after experiencing multiple itchy erythema and blisters all over the whole body for 3 months. He was treated with prednisolone 10 mg three times daily and azathioprine 25 mg daily. Lesions showed improvement during the first 2-week follow-up. However, while the prednisolone dose was tapered down to 10 mg daily, the disease flared up again. He presented at our hospital with multiple tense bullae and erosions on erythematous pruritic wheals over the neck, trunk, and limbs without mucosal involvement [Figure 1]. Laboratory tests revealed eosinophilia and elevated levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE). There were no positive findings for potential infectious risk factors such as hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, and Cytomegalovirus, as well as tumor markers. The score of Bullous Pemphigoid Disease Area Index (BPDAI) is 69 and the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) of pruritus is 9.Figure 1: Multiple tense bullae and erosions on erythematous pruritic wheals over the (a) neck, anterior chest, and (b) bilateral thighs.Initially, we treated the patient with intravenous methylprednisolone 4 mg/day, doxycycline 100 mg twice daily, systemic antihistamines, and topical steroids. However, we observed hyperglycemia, with poor-controlled blood sugar levels increasing up to 480 mg/dL. After discussing the options with the patient, we prescribed oral baricitinib 4 mg/day. Subsequently, we initiated the tapering of the systemic steroid in 2 days. At 1-week follow-up, the erythema on the body has disappeared and no new blisters have formed. The pruritus has also subsided, leaving only the wounds from the ruptured blisters [Figure 2]. No flare-up was noted after 8-week follow-up without any adverse event, and the BPDAI and VAS of pruritus have decreased to 0 points.Figure 2: (a and b) After 2 weeks of baricitinib treatment, the lesions showed resolution with residual erythema and scarring.Baricitinib is a first-generation Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor. It works by targeting JAK1 and JAK2 proteins, which play a key role in regulating the immune response and inflammatory pathways.[1] To date, baricitinib has been found to be effective in treating rheumatoid arthritis, alopecia areata, and atopic dermatitis. Although the mechanism of JAK inhibitors in treating blood pressure (BP) is not yet established, several studies have shown its efficacy. Xiao et al. reported successful treatment of concurrent BP and plaque psoriasis with baricitinib in an 83-year-old man, who showed significant improvement and complete remission without adverse effects.[2] Fan and Wang have reported that seven cases of recalcitrant BP were successfully treated with tofacitinib and maintained complete remission during 9 months of follow-up.[3] In the pathogenesis of","PeriodicalId":11107,"journal":{"name":"Dermatologica Sinica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135913338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there is a relative paucity of mortality data in patients with dermatologic diseases. Objectives: We aim to assess the overall mortality from dermatological disorders in a third-level university hospital which serves as a dermatology referral center. Methods: A retrospective medical note review of patients with dermatologic diseases who died during an 11-year period (from March 2008 to February 2020) was undertaken. Results: There were 63 death cases out of 2810 admissions for patients with dermatologic diseases (crude mortality 2.24%). The average age was 61.8 years and the male-to-female ratio was 2.3. Cutaneous malignancies (53.96%) were the primary causes of death, followed by drug reactions (23.8%). Among skin cancers, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC; 47.05%) and melanoma (35.29%) were the leading causes of death. Toxic epidermal necrolysis (53.33%) was the leading cause of death among drug reactions. Sepsis (30.74%) was the most common immediate cause of mortality in this series. A large fraction of patients (73%) had significant underlying comorbidities.

Pursuing attractive appearance and colorism have promoted the development of the skin whitening market globally. The proteins targeted in this research are tyrosinase-related protein 1, cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element-binding protein, receptor tyrosine kinase, and endothelin receptor type B. Objectives: This study aims to identify the potential of coumarin derivatives as novel effective, safe, and natural antimelanogenesis agents for whitening purposes or therapeutical intention to treat hyperpigmentation disorders. Methods: Four three-dimensional structures of the targeted proteins and 94 ligands were obtained from Protein Data Bank and PubChem, respectively. The ligands were docked against modified targeted proteins to examine the binding affinity and protein-ligand interactions using PyRx and BIOVIA Discovery Studio. The top 13 derivatives were selected for further analysis on the pharmacokinetic properties through SwissADME and pkCSM web servers. A total of eight compounds were further chosen to conduct multiple ligand simultaneous docking (MLSD). Results: Difenacoum is the most potential antimelanogenesis agent due to its strong inhibitory binding affinity in targeted protein models (5M8M, 4TQN, 5X93), but it does not exhibit favorable behavior pharmacokinetic properties. From the in silico pharmacokinetics screening, novobiocin sodium is the most potent derivative due to its relatively appropriate and safer properties. However, none of the ligand pairs investigated in MLSD possesses a synergistic effect on the binding affinity. Conclusion: Our findings identified colladin, farnesiferol C and novobiocin sodium may be promising natural resources for developing antimelanogenesis agents.","PeriodicalId":11107,"journal":{"name":"Dermatologica Sinica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83765073","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
