S1P receptors can affect cell fate by mediating cell differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis. S1P mainly plays an immunomodulatory role in vivo. In recent years, increasing numbers of studies have shown that S1P is involved in the occurrence and development of immune-related skin diseases by regulating keratinocyte differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis; lymphocyte migration; and angiogenesis. This review explores the metabolism and signal transduction mechanism of S1P, focusing on research advancements in the immune regulation function of S1P and its impact on immune-related skin diseases. The aim is to provide insights that can contribute to the research and application of S1P in immune-related skin diseases.","PeriodicalId":73440,"journal":{"name":"International journal of dermatology and venereology","volume":"58 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140483511","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}

Sixty patients with crow’s feet were recruited and randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive botulinum toxin type A using either a three-point or a four-point intramuscular injection technique. The treatment efficacy was assessed based on the changes in the Crow’s Feet Grading Scale score at 1, 4 and 16 weeks after treatment.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 After treatment, the average Crow’s Feet Grading Scale score was significantly decreased compared with the pretreatment score at all timepoints (1, 4, and 16 weeks) in both states (dynamic and static). The average subjective patient-rated satisfaction scores after treatment were significantly higher in the four-point injection group than the three-point injection group (P=0.028). The adverse events were post-injection bruising in three patients and a feeling of eyelid tightness in three patients.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 Botulinum toxin type A injection is an effective treatment for crow’s feet. Adding a fourth injection maintains the same therapeutic effect and does not increase adverse effects. Patients with lower-fan crow’s feet patterns may benefit more from four-point injection therapy.
