If not diagnosed correctly, allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) may ensue, because targeted allergen avoidance is not possible. The primary objective of the study is to estimate the prevalence of CA to seven fragrance materials in patients with suspected ACD across Europe. Based on the outcome, a conclusion will be drawn as to whether present risk management regarding maximum recommended concentrations of each of these, based on quantitative risk assessment (QRA2), is adequate. The planned study is a surveillance study based on consecutive patients, patch tested in 10 European departments of dermatology with a series of allergens as indicated by their personal history, including the European baseline series, supplemented with the seven additional fragrance ingredients. The patch test procedure will follow the guideline of the European Society of Contact Dermatitis (ESCD) with additional standardization procedures. The envisaged sample size is 8100; recruitment will be in three data cycles with brief intervals allowing for descriptive interim analyses. Those patients reacting positively to any of the study allergens will be followed-up specifically to identify the source of sensitizing and/or eliciting exposure(s). Results will inform risk reassessment and subsequent risk management measures. Study results will be published in an open-access peer-reviewed scientific journal. Structured post-marketing surveillance of consumer risk of contact allergy by monitoring prevalences of positive patch test reactions in a dedicated European expert network is developed which can serve as a model for further chemicals. Important outcomes will be either a confirmation of effectiveness of risk management measures in place, or alternatively identifying aspects needing improvement (for certain cosmetic product categories).

Furthermore, many studies emphasize that the prevalence of mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety, is much higher among patients with AD compared to the general population. Consequently, there is an urgent imperative to delve into emerging research trends and focal points concerning the association between AD and depression. By analyzing the literature on the correlation between AD and Depression in the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) over the past three decades, our study aims to investigate the key research areas and trends related to the connection between AD and depression through bibliometric analysis, offering useful insights for future researchers in this area. Publications from January 1, 1994, to December 31, 2024, were retrieved from WoSCC on January 5, 2025, and visualized with Excel and Vosviewer software. Summing up to 729 papers were included, authored by 3,670 individuals. The United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom were prominent in researching the link between AD and depression, with the US publishing the highest number of papers—216 in total. Jonathan I. Silverberg stood out as the most prolific author in this field. Keywords visualization analysis revealed that “atopic dermatitis” and “depression” were core topics. It is noteworthy that there has been a significant evolution in research emphasis over time, with studies of AD associated with depression moving from early “pruritus” “psoriasis”, and “stress” studies, gradually transitioning into the field of adolescent mental health, suggesting that society’s interest in dermatologic conditions and their psychological impact is gradually extending from purely physical symptoms to the broader implications of mental health and quality of life. A thorough bibliometric analysis was initially performed to outline the current state and knowledge framework of the connection between AD and depression, aiming to offer guidance and new insights for future research in this area.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8203,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Dermatological Research","volume":"317 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00403-025-04269-w.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144091152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therapeutic efficacy was assessed by Verbal rating scale (VRS), Vancouver scar scale (VSS), dermoscopic, and ultrasonic examinations. Additionally, H&E and immunohistochemical expression of Caveolin-1 (Cav-1) were studied. Significant improvements in both VSS and VRS of keloid scars were detected in the three groups studied. These findings were significantly higher among patients treated by combined Vit. D3 and PRP followed by Vit. D3 monotherapy, and lastly PRP monotherapy. Parallel dermoscopic and radiological findings were detected confirming the clinical results. In the three groups studied, histopathological examination reported significant reduction in collagen with more compact orientation, and significant increase of Cav-1 immunohistochemical expression in keloid scars after treatment.

This retrospective study analyzed data from 56 alopecia patients treated with PRP at NYU Langone Health between November 2017 and March 2025. Patients were categorized as “improved,” “stable,” or “worse” based on self-assessments, and changes in hair density and width were evaluated over the course of PRP treatment.

Results showed that patient-reported outcomes correlated significantly with changes in hair density (<i>p</i> = 0.0006), but not hair width (<i>p</i> = 0.2688). The greatest increase in hair density was observed in the “improved” group (+ 18.9 hairs/cm²), with a more modest gain in the “stable” group (+ 7.6 hairs/cm²), while the “worse” group experienced a decrease (− 19.7 hairs/cm²). Differences in density across all three groups were statistically significant (<i>p</i> = 0.0012), whereas width changes were not (<i>p</i> = 0.5009).

Ubiquitin-specific protease 41 (USP41) has recently been reported to be overexpressed in various malignancies. However, its role in melanoma remains unclear. Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) was used to perform pan-cancer analysis using data from the the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) databases. Melanoma tissue microarray (TMA), clinical patient tissues, and cells were used to explore USP41 expression profiles by immunohistochemistry (IHC), RT-qPCR or Western blotting. Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) were used to knock down USP41 in melanoma cells. Cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were assessed using CCK-8, EdU staining, wound healing, and transwell assays, respectively. Cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry and TUNEL staining. GEPIA revealed that USP41 is highly expressed in most human cancers, including melanoma. USP41 is overexpressed in melanoma tumor tissues and cells. IHC showed that USP41 was positively stained in melanoma tissues and was significantly correlated with the TNM stage of melanoma. USP41 knockdown inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion while promoting cell apoptosis and inhibiting phosphorylated PI3K, AKT, and mTOR in the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. The results indicate that USP41 may play a carcinogenic role in melanoma partly via the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, suggesting that USP41 may be an effective therapeutic target for the treatments of cutaneous melanoma.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8203,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Dermatological Research","volume":"317 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144091111","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}
