RG has been associated with numerous protective functions in various diseases.\u0000Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate whether RG water extract exacerbates inflammation in human sebocytes and outer root sheath (ORS) cells following treatment with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and Cutibacterium acnes strain (ATCC 1182)-induced inflammatory nodules in mice.\u0000Methods: Sebocytes and ORS cells were isolated and cultured from the human scalp. Reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were used to measure the expression of inflammatory cytokine and sebum-related genes after treatment with RG and LPS. Mice with Cutibacterium acnesinduced\u0000inflammatory nodules were orally administered RG in water for two weeks, and immunofluorescence staining was performed to assess the inflammatory nodules.\u0000Results: RG enhanced LPS-mediated inflammation by increasing the mRNA and protein expression of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor-α in sebocytes and ORS cells. RG also upregulated the expression of p-nuclear factor-kappa B (p-NFκB), p-c-Jun, and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (p-JNK) in LPS-treated sebocytes and ORS cells. Moreover, RG promoted LPS-induced sebum production in sebocytes. Additionally, RG hindered the improvement of inflammatory nodules in mice and increased the expression of inflammatory biomarkers, such as neutrophil, myeloperoxidase, and IL-1β, as well as tissue remodeling biomarkers, such as myeloperoxidase (MMP)-2, MMP-3, and MMP-9 in the inflammatory nodules.\u0000Conclusion: Our findings strongly suggest that RG exacerbates acne vulgaris. It is advisable to avoid using RG in patients with inflammatory acne.","PeriodicalId":36021,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mycology and Infection","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48888426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dermoscopic examination showed Morse code-like and sharp-angled zigzag hair with transverse white bands across the hair shaft (Fig. 1A). Scanning electron microscopy of the affected hair revealed thin and destroyed cuticles covered with numerous fungal arthro-conidia corresponding to the white bands on the hair shaft (Fig. 1B-1E). Microsporum canis was identified as the causative species via fungal culture and polymerase chain reaction. The patient received a treatment of oral griseofulvin (125 mg/day) and topical terbinafine for 8 weeks. Dermatophyte infections of the hair can result in three distinct patterns of fungal invasion: ectothrix, endothrix, or favus, depending on the specific species involved 1 . Ectothrix tinea capitis, often associated with Microsporum canis, is characterized by the accumulation of arthroconidia around the exterior of the hair shaft, leading to the circumferential destruction of the hair cuticle 2 . As the infected hair continues to grow, the affected portion rises above the scalp surface and becomes more prone to bending or breaking due to increased fragility. This gives rise to the appearance of Morse code-like or bent zigzag hair with transverse white bands, indicating focal weakening of the hair shaft caused by fungal invasion 3 . Understanding this information can assist clinicians in predicting the type of fungal invasion and comprehending the formation mechanism behind the distinctive dermoscopic features observed in cases of ectothrix tinea capitis.","PeriodicalId":36021,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mycology and Infection","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45063867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aspergillus and Candida have been reported as major pathogens resulting to comorbid infections in COVID-19 patients.\u0000Objective: Recent studies have shown a considerable burden of cases affected by mucormycosis after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection worldwide, and some underlying factors may contribute to this condition. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the epidemiology and demographic characteristics of mucormycosis patients after COVID-19 infection in the Ahvaz province of Iran.\u0000Methods: This descriptive-analytical epidemiological study was conducted on patients who developed mucormycosis following COVID-19 for a 6-month period in 2021. A checklist based on symptoms and possible risk factors was used to collect patient information.\u0000Results: The results showed that conjunctivitis, ophthalmalgia, facial swelling, feeling of pain or pressure in the face, and sinusitis were the most common clinical manifestations of patients with mucormycosis following COVID-19. Additionally, there was a significant association between corticosteroid and prophylactic antibiotic use, pain or pressure in the face, and ophthalmalgia with the outcome variables including alive or dead (p-values = 0.002, 0.011, 0.034, and 0.004, respectively). No statistically significant difference was found between the ages of the two groups (p-value = 0.495).\u0000Conclusion: The study findings revealed that the most common risk factors for mortality include diabetes, immune system defects, and use of prophylactic antibiotics or corticosteroids.","PeriodicalId":36021,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mycology and Infection","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48316575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
