Clinical data from 156 AGA patients, including 89 males and 67 females, were collected. The patients were assigned to either medication group (<i>n</i> = 86) or microneedling group (<i>n</i> = 70). Treatment adherence was assessed using the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MGL). Additional data on the patients’ basic information, annual income, education level, side effects, treatment efficacy, disease severity, and mental health (anxiety and depression) were also recorded. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify factors associated with treatment adherence. The results showed that patients in the microneedling group demonstrated significantly higher treatment adherence compared to those in the medication group (<i>P</i> = 0.032). Within the microneedling group, adherence was significantly associated with age, education level, annual income, treatment duration, and side effects (<i>P</i> < 0.05). Specifically, patients over the age of 30, those with higher incomes, higher educational levels, and those with treatment durations of less than 3 months exhibited better adherence. Additionally, both treatment efficacy improvement and reduced anxiety were strongly correlated with better adherence (<i>P</i> < 0.001, <i>P</i> = 0.010). In the medication group, side effects and treatment efficacy were significant factors influencing adherence (<i>P</i> = 0.001, <i>P</i> < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis revealed that, within the microneedling group, patients with at least a middle school education or higher (OR = 0.031, <i>P</i> = 0.035; OR = 0.016, <i>P</i> = 0.041) and those who experienced improved treatment outcomes (OR = 0.002, <i>P</i> = 0.006) were more likely to adhere to treatment. On the other hand, the occurrence of side effects significantly increased the likelihood of non-adherence (OR = 92.358, <i>P</i> = 0.019). Patients with more severe conditions were more likely to adhere to treatment (OR = 0.035, <i>P</i> = 0.038). In the medication group, those with stable or improved treatment outcomes showed better adherence (OR = 0.004, <i>P</i> = 0.010; OR = 0.005, <i>P</i> = 0.012).

Microneedling therapy demonstrates significant advantages in improving patient adherence, particularly by reducing side effects, enhancing perceived treatment efficacy, and improving mental health.

A low overall risk of upstaging and SLNB following MMS validates recent data in the literature and supports use of MMS for MIS/IM treatment. As partial and punch biopsy contribute to upstaging risk, dermatologists should consider broad shave biopsies when sampling suspicious pigmented lesions. Preoperative scouting biopsies may be useful in reducing upstaging risk, number of MMS stages, and associated patient morbidity.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8203,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Dermatological Research","volume":"317 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143749078","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}

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as critical regulators of gene expression in various diseases, yet their specific roles in AD remain poorly understood. This study investigates the role of LINC00114, an lncRNA identified as significantly upregulated in lesional skin of AD patients. Using RNA sequencing, quantitative real-time PCR, and in vitro experiments, we demonstrate that LINC00114 is induced by Th2 cytokines IL-4 and IL-13, correlating with clinical severity scores. Notably, the observed 2–3 fold changes in LINC00114 expression indicate a substantial biological impact; as such alterations can significantly influence inflammatory pathways and epidermal barrier integrity. Mechanistically, LINC00114 functions as a molecular sponge for miR-128, inhibiting its regulatory effects on pro-inflammatory targets. Furthermore, LINC00114 enhances the JAK/STAT signaling pathway, promoting Th2-driven inflammation. Our findings also reveal that LINC00114 impairs epidermal barrier function by downregulating key proteins such as filaggrin and involucrin. In a murine model of AD, targeting LINC00114 with siRNA significantly reduced skin inflammation and improved barrier integrity. These results highlight LINC00114 as a novel therapeutic target for AD, offering potential avenues for more effective treatments aimed at restoring immune balance and skin barrier function.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8203,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Dermatological Research","volume":"317 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143749079","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}
