The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between phenotype and endotype in elderly patients, and the long-term effects of dupilumab on molecular signature in these patients. A total of 50 elderly patients had been treated with dupilumab during the follow up period. Regarding effectiveness parameters, mean EASI score at Week 0 was 25.12 ± 4.23 and significantly reduced to 2.42 ± 3.15 at Week 52 (<i>p</i> < 0.05). Regarding safety, none of the registered adverse events led to the discontinuation of dupilumab therapy. Moreover, after 52 weeks of dupilumab treatment, Th2 cytokines expression was decreased, with IL-13 and IL-31 downregulated in both patient groups at Week 52, at both gene and protein levels when compared with Week 0. Our data also revealed a significant increase in both IL-4 gene expression and protein production at Week 52 when compared with Week 0. Unexpectedly, our results also revealed that IL-22 cutaneous expression was significantly increased, while circulating levels were decreased at Week 52 when compared to Week 0. In conclusion, our results highlight the effectiveness of dupilumab at a late time point as Week 52. Of note, a dumping of the Th2- and Th17- immune response at both systemic and in situ level and a possible remodelling role of IL-22 in the skin is suggested.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8203,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Dermatological Research","volume":"317 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00403-025-04090-5.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143632280","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}

There are various minoxidil formulations available including topical, oral, and injectable minoxidil. While injectable minoxidil may offer certain advantages, potential risks and costs should also be considered. First, we explore the enhanced bioavailability of injectable minoxidil in comparison to topical and oral formulations, as well as the variability in sulfotransferase enzyme levels and its role in the activation of minoxidil at hair follicles. Furthermore, we expand upon the potential adverse effects associated with injectable minoxidil given its widespread systemic distribution. We also highlight the importance of considering cost, access, and availability of injectable minoxidil given that injections are significantly more expensive than oral minoxidil tablets and involve the additional obstacle of frequent dermatology visits. Depending on geographic region and socioeconomic status, many patients may not live in sufficiently close proximity to a dermatologist for this level of care. Finally, we emphasize the need for ongoing research efforts to compare the efficacy, access, and tolerability of injectable minoxidil, alternative minoxidil formulations, and other alopecia medications.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8203,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Dermatological Research","volume":"317 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143632393","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}

Affecting 8–12% of the global population, with the continuous progress of microbial research in recent years, a variety of microorganisms may be associated with the onset of infertility. We therefore used a two-sample MR Analysis to investigate the association between skin microbes and infertility. we used preprocessed exposure data to correlate infertility measures (infertility in women, associated with anovulation; Female infertility, cervical infertility, vaginal infertility, other infertility or unknown causes; Female infertility, fallopian tube origin; ED; Based on this, the positive results were subjected to horizontal pleiotropy analysis and heterogeneity analysis. Finally, Steiger test was performed to confirm the absence of reverse causality. The data used in this study were obtained from the published GWAS data sets. skin microbiota from the study conducted by Moitinho-Silva et al., and the exposure from the Finn. In this study, we found a positive causal association between Lactobacillales, Clostridiales, Pseudomonadales, and Moraxellaceae and female infertility and anovulation by MR Analysis of two samples. Enhydrobacter, Betaproteobacteria have a negative causal association with female infertility and anovulation. Lactobacillales and Alphaproteobacteria had positive causal association with female infertility, cervical infertility, vaginal infertility, other infertility or unknown causes. There was a negative causal association between Haemophilus and female infertility, cervical infertility, vaginal infertility, other infertility or unknown causes. Alphaproteobacteria are positively correlated with female infertility and fallopian tube origin. Bacteroidetes is negatively correlated with female infertility and fallopian tube origin. Rhodobacteraceae, Clostridiales and Flavobacteriaceae had a negative causal association with male infertility. Corynebacterium had a positive causal association with ED, and Micrococcus had a negative causal association with ED. Our study reveals a causal association between skin microbiota and infertility, and provides a theoretical basis for the inclusion of skin microbiota in the prevention and treatment of infertility. To the best of our knowledge, our study is the first MR Analysis to explore the potential causal association between skin microbiota and infertility. On this basis, we make a reasonable hypothesis that skin microbes cause infertility, and propose possible mechanisms.
