Psoriasis is a chronic recurrent inflammatory skin disease, which often recurs at the remission site of the primary skin lesions. Tissue resident memory T cells (TRM) can reside in the skin for a long time. In recent years, many studies have shown that TRM plays a crucial role in psoriasis recurrence and effective inhibition of TRM may be the key to control psoriasis recurrence. However, the anti-injury and anti-apoptotic characteristics of TRM make it difficult to control the recurrence. In this paper, we reviewed the production and residence of cutaneous TRM and the relationship between TRM and psoriasis recurrence.

Nagashima-Type palmoplantar keratosis (NPPK) is the most common palmoplantar keratosis in Asian population. In 2013, Kubo found that it was caused by homozygous or complex heterozygous mutations in serine protease inhibitor B7 (SERPINB7) by whole exome sequencing, and 15 different pathogenic mutations have been found at present. The typical clinical feature of NPPK is hyperkeratosis. NPPK has a good long-term prognosis, but there is still no standardized treatment. Current studies have found that gentamicin can effectively relieve skin hyperkeratosis and smell in patients with NPPK, but more clinical studies are needed to verify.

Objective: To determine the effect of clascoterone on androgen-induced human sebocytes proliferation, lipid synthesis and inflammatory factors expression in vitro and explore its anti-acne mechanism. Methods: The immortalized human sebocytes SZ95 were cultrured in vitro and then divided into Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) group, clascoterone group and clascoterone+DHT group. The cell proliferation, intracellular neutral lipids, lipid synthesis-related proteins expression, inflammatory factors and transcription level of cytokines was detected by CCK8, nile red staining and western blot, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and RT-qPCR respectively. Results: Compared with the DHT group, the number of cells in the clascoterone+DHT group significantly decreased (P<0.01) after 24-hour treatment. After treated with linoleic acid (LA), the level of neutral lipids in the clascoterone+DHT group was significantly  lower than that in the DHT group (P<0.0001). The lipid synthesis-related proteins such as PPARγ, PLIN2, FASN and SCD1, the transcription levels of IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8 and the corresponding protein levels in the clascoterone+DHT group was significantly  lower than those in the DHT group (Ps<0.05) . Conclusion: Clascoterone has a partly androgen-independent regulatory effect on human sebocytes proliferation, lipid synthesis-related genes and inflammatory factors in vitro, which might be one of anti-acne mechanisms.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are pluripotent adult stem cells with the potential for self-renewal, multi-lineage differentiation and immunomodulatory properties. Studies have reported the presence of MSCs in the dermis and epidermis of patients with psoriasis and suggested that MSCs may promote the inflammatory process and psoriatic lesions development through high HLA-Ⅰexpression and low immunosuppressive capacity against CD3+T cells. At present, the safety and efficacy of MSCs infusion have been confirmed in mice psoriasis models induced by imiquimod and clinical trials, but there may be potential risks. The update of MSCs in the treatment of psoriasis is reviewed in this paper.

Objective: To access the effect and possible mechanism of antihistamine ebastine on atopic dermatitis (AD) mouse model induced by 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB). Methods: Eighteen Balb/c female mice aged 6-8 weeks were randomly divided into treatment group, negative control group and blank group. The AD mouse model was prepared by coating DNFB on the back skin of mice, and the mice in the blank group were not treated. After 2 weeks of modeling, the treatment group was given ebastine of concentration of 0.41 mg/mL, 0.2mL, by gavage, once a day, and the negative control group was given the same amount of normal saline. After 2 weeks of administration, the changes of body weight, skin lesion and scratching behavior of mice were assessed, the thickness of skin lesions and the number of eosinophils were observed by HE staining, and the level of serum interleukin-4 (IL-4) was detected by ELISA. Results: Typical AD lesions such as erythema, edema, exudation, crust and skin thickening appeared in the back skin of the model mice. The weight of mice in the treatment group and the blank group increased after the experiment (P<0.05), but there was no significant change in the negative control group (P>0.05). Compared with the negative control group, there was no significant difference in the score of skin lesion in the treatment group before treatment (P>0.05). After treatment, the score of skin lesion in the treatment group decreased significantly (P<0.05). In addition, the scratching times, epidermal thickness, eosinophil number and serum IL-4 in the treatment group were lower than those in the negative control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Ebastine has certain therapeutic effect on AD mouse model, which may through inhibiting Th2 immune response in vivo.

Objective: To study the infection situation of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) and drug resistance characteristics of MRSA and MSSA in inpatients that infected with skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) in our hospital. Methods: The data of SSTIs inpatients who underwent bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test in our hospital from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020 were collected and the recall factor and disease distribution of SA, MRSA and differences in drug resistance between MRSA and MSSA were analyzed. Results: A total of 1455 SSTIs inpatients were collected, including 323 SA infection (22.2%). Of 323 SA cases, 72 (22.3%) were positive for MRSA. The recall factor of MRSA showed an increasing trend from 2018 to 2020. The patients positive for MRSA were most pemphigus, bullous pemphigoid, eczema, psoriasis and erythroderma. The drug resistance rates of MRSA to 11 antibacterial agents such as azithromycin, penicillin, erythromycin, clarithromycin and tetracycline were significantly higher than those of MSSA, with significant differences (Ps<0.05), and there was no significant difference between MRSA and MSSA on drug resistance rates of cotrimoxazole, clindamycin and gentamicin (Ps>0.05).  Conclusion: The recall factor of SA in SSTIs is high in our hospital, and the proportion of SA in MRSA is high, and the drug resistance rate of MRSA to most antibacterial drugs is significantly higher than MSSA.
