This disfiguring condition frequently affects visible areas of the body and therefore causes a heavy psychological burden and a decreased quality of life. Although remains intractable, the evergrowing understanding of its immunopathogenesis has dramatically shaped the treatment paradigm for vitiligo. With the impact of autoreactive cytotoxic T cells explained extensively, accumulating evidence suggests the unique role of regulatory T (Treg) cells in the immune microenvironment of vitiligo. We systematically reviewed Treg deficiency, instability, reduced vitality and dysfunction reported in vitiligo patients, combined with novel findings regarding Treg function modulation in autoimmune backgrounds including metabolic alteration, post-translational modifications and interaction with other immune cells. We further summarized classic and advanced Treg-targeted therapeutics in vitiligo practice and research. Herein, we aimed to display the updated knowledge of Treg cells in vitiligo, providing insights into novel Treg-based therapeutic strategies.</p>","PeriodicalId":9238,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Dermatology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142823768","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this DCE was to examine patient preferences for the treatment of Bowen's disease.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A DCE was conducted alongside a randomised controlled non-inferiority trial comparing the effectiveness of surgical excision, MAL-PDT, and 5-fluorouracil cream as treatments for Bowen's disease. Preferences were elicited by presenting patients with choice tasks between surgical excision, MAL-PDT, and 5-fluorouracil cream with the following attributes: effectiveness, cosmetic outcome, side effects, treatment duration and process. A mixed logit model was used to account for the panel nature of the data (repeated choices for each respondents) and heterogeneity in preference.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 215 patients completed the DCE. Patients have a clear preference for excision and non-invasive therapies were less valued, as indicated by the large and negative label effect.Both moderate and good to excellent cosmetic outcomes were accepted and preferred to poor cosmetic outcomes for all treatments. In addition, none or mild to moderate side effects were considered acceptable and preferred to severe side effects.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Patients show a clear preference for surgical excision, and of the two non-invasive treatments, 5-fluorouracil cream is preferred to MAL-PDT.
