We investigated

Objectives Conflicting data exist on TNF inhibitors' (TNFi) role in preventing psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in psoriasis. Using propensity score matching, we compared PsA incidence in severe psoriasis patients treated with TNFi versus narrow-band ultraviolet B (nbUVB) phototherapy over a decade of follow up.Methods Consecutive adults with severe psoriasis prescribed TNFi or nbUVB phototherapy between September 2005 and September 2010 were enrolled. Of 946 patients, 497 received TNFi (median follow-

Objective Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory arthritis that develops in 30% of patients with psoriasis, leading to increased morbidity and mortality and reduced quality of life. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) modulate gene expression and have been associated with the pathogenesis of immune-mediated disorders. We aimed to identify miRNAs that can be used as biomarkers for the development of PsA in patients with psoriasis.Methods miRNA expression levels were assessed in serum

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with a high world-wide incidence. Rutin, a natural citrus flavonoid glycoside, has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. To investigate the protective effects of rutin in imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis model mice and its underlying molecular mechanism. IMQ was applied to mice to induce inflammatory skin that phenotypically mimics psoriasis. The Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) score was used to evaluate the degree

Objectives Little is known about the ideal service delivery model and shortcomings in patient experiences in the NHS for patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). The objective of this work was to identify unmet needs perceived within the current health service delivery model for PsA from the UK Psoriatic Arthritis Priority Setting Partnership (PsA-PSP).Methods An online survey was conducted in 2020 and distributed to people with PsA, their carers and clinicians to identify research priorities in

Real-world data on concurrent psoriasis and active tuberculosis (TB) remain limited, particularly in high TB-burden settings. This retrospective study evaluated the incidence, prevalence, and clinical characteristics of psoriasis patients with active TB who had received topical or systemic treatments. Medical records from 13 066 psoriasis patients who presented at Siriraj Hospital over 18 years were reviewed. Among these, 86 (0.66%) developed active TB, yielding an incidence range of 135-1332 pe

Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin disease, and current treatments have their own limitations, including moderate treatment effectiveness, poor compliance, and potential safety risks, etc. Therefore, the primary focus of this study is to explore novel molecular targets and improve the diagnosis and treatment of psoriasis patients. In this study, comprehensive bioinformatics analysis was performed on the expression profiles of tissue samples from patients with psoriasis in the clinical trial of TY

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease whose main manifestation is scaly and erythematous plaques. The pathogenesis is complex, including genetic and environmental factors. In recent years, epigenetic modifications, which means changing in gene expression instead of altering the DNA sequence, have been gradually studied by scholars as an important mechanism in psoriasis pathogenesis. The clinical application of epigenetics in psoriasis is promising with its potential as diagnostic biom

Objective Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory condition associated with psoriasis and characterised by heterogeneous clinical manifestations, including peripheral and axial arthritis, enthesitis and dactylitis. A subset of patients exhibits a 'difficult-to-treat' (D2T) phenotype, necessitating complex therapeutic strategies. Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is highly prevalent in PsA patients and has been implicated in increased disease activity.This study aimed to evaluate the impact o

Background/objectives The mechanism of action of treatment drugs for psoriasis is based on anti-inflammation and the inhibition of epidermal proliferation, and retinoids and vitamin D3 derivatives are first-line therapy drugs for psoriasis. This meta-analysis aimed to comprehensively evaluate the efficacy and safety of calcipotriol-acitretin combination therapy for psoriasis and investigate its effect on serum inflammatory factors.Methods A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library,

Psoriasis, a chronic skin autoimmune disease characterized by abnormal immune responses, is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Recent microbiota research has revealed that short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), metabolites produced by gut microbiota, play a pivotal role in regulating immune function and inflammation. This review examines the current literature on the relationship between gut dysbiosis, SCFA production, and immune modulation in psoriasis, focusing on emerging evidence fro

Background Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by elevated levels of proinflammatory cytokines. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have demonstrated therapeutic potential, yet the specific mechanisms involved are not fully understood.Objective To investigated the effectiveness of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from MSCs that were genetically modified to overexpress miR-146a, in a mouse model of psoriasis.Methods To enhance miR-146a expression, MSCs were transfected,

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
