Introduction Paediatric psoriasis is often misdiagnosed, and the overlap condition of psoriasis and atopic dermatitis (AD), known as psoriasis-dermatitis, further complicates accurate identification. Research has shown that interleukin-36 gamma (IL-36γ) measurement via tape stripping can help diagnose complex cases of psoriasis in adults. However, there are no published studies evaluating the applicability of this method in children, especially for distinguishing psoriasis from AD and the overla

Introduction Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated skin disease with known physical and mental health comorbidities, such as cardiovascular disease, depression, and anxiety. Psoriasis also has a significant impact on quality of life and sleep due to factors like itch and pain. This study aims to assess the relationship between sleep quality, mental health, and psoriasis, and specifically investigate the impact of poor sleep quality on mental health outcomes within participants with psoriasis.Me

Background The impact of traditional systemic drugs to treat psoriasis (ciclosporin, methotrexate, and acitretin) in a subsequent response to biologics has not been adequately addressed in the literature. In clinical practice, it is increasingly necessary to initiate, due to concomitant comorbidities, biologics in patients with psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis (PsA) who have not undergone prior treatment with systemics, i.e. full-naive.Objectives and methods This study analyzed the possible impa

Background Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease affected by genetic and autoimmunity. The traditional Chinese medicine, Compound Qingdai Capsule (CQC), has shown potential benefits in treating psoriasis in clinical settings. Despite its efficacy, the molecular mechanisms underpinning its therapeutic action remain unclear.Purpose This study aimed to unravel the molecular mechanism of Compound Qingdai Capsule for psoriasis based on the psoriasis pathogenic pathway network, integrating multi-omics a

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease driven by immune dysregulation. This study explores the role of B cells, particularly cytokine-producing subsets, in psoriasis pathogenesis. Although T cells, particularly Th17, have been well documented in psoriasis, recent evidence suggests that B cells contribute to the disease process. Flow cytometry analysis of 50 psoriasis patients and 20 healthy controls revealed a significant increase in IL-6-producing effector B cells (Beffs) and a decrea

Introduction Research findings show a substantial correlation between Crohn's disease and psoriasis. However, the exact cause or pathogenesis of the concurrent manifestations of these two conditions in the same individuals remains uncertain. This research aimed to scrutinize the important molecules and mechanisms responsible for the concomitance of Crohn's disease and Psoriasis by using quantitative bioinformatics utilizing a publicly available RNA sequencing repository.Methods The database Gene

Few studies have examined the features of patients with IgA nephropathy secondary to psoriasis (IgAN-Pso); leaving the long-term renal outcomes and risk factors for this group unclear. A total of ninety patients with IgAN without evidence of a secondary cause other than psoriasis were enrolled in this retrospective study. The participants were categorized into two groups: the mild-to-moderate psoriasis group (n = 74) and the severe psoriasis group (n = 16). A comparative analysis was conducted o

Introduction Palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by pustules on the palms and soles. Patients with PPP may be at an increased risk of developing psoriatic arthritis (PsA). The Psoriatic Arthritis Screening and Evaluation (PASE) questionnaire is a tool designed to screen for PsA in at-risk populations. The objective of this study was to identify potential risk factors influencing PASE scores in patients with PPP.Methods The EPPPIK study was a cross

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease of the skin manifested by keratinocyte hyperproliferation, immune dysregulation, and chronic inflammation that result in scaly plaques. Conventional interventions such as corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and biologics offer symptomatic relief but are limited by side effects and incomplete remission. Psoriasis pathogenesis is complex and entails numerous immune cells (dendritic cells, Th1, Th17, Th22, Tregs, macrophages, NK cells) and molecular pathwa

Psoriasis, the most common inflammatory skin disease, is marked by excessive proliferation of keratinocytes and infiltration of immune cells into the epidermis. Current treatments, particularly biologics targeting the IL‑23/IL‑17 axis, demonstrate excellent efficacy, but issues of recurrence and side effects persist. Therefore, it is essential to identify safer and more effective alternatives. Lobetyolin (LBT), a key component of polyacetylenes in Codonopsis pilosula, exhibits potent antioxidant
