    Abstract Oral lichen planus (OLP), a T-lymphocyte-mediated disease of the oral mucosa, has a complex pathogenesis that involves a number of factors. The disease is characterized by recurrent episodes and requires continuous follow up, and there is no curative treatment available. Erosive lichen planus, among others, has a risk of malignant transformation and requires standardized treatment to control its progression. Different clinical subtypes of oral lichen planus require appropriate treatment. Pharmacological treatments are the most widely available and have the greatest variety of options and a number of novel pharmacological treatments are presented as highlights, including JAK enzyme inhibitors. The second is photodynamic therapy, which is the leading physiological treatment. In addition, periodontal treatment and psychological treatment should not be neglected. In this review, we briefly discuss the most recent developments in therapies for oral lichen planus after summarizing the most widely used clinical treatments, aiming to provide different proposals for future clinical treatment.

    Abstract Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic immune inflammatory disease that is an oral potentially malignant disorder (OPMD), occurs in the oral mucosa and affects approximately 0.5% to 4% of the general population. There are usually five types of OLP: reticular/papular, plaque-like, atrophic/erythematous, erosive/ulcerative, and bullous. Furthermore, the chance of causing oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is 1.4%. Although the etiology of OLP is still unknown, accumulating evidence supports that immune dysregulation may play a vital role in the pathogenesis of OLP, especially the massive production of various inflammatory cells and inflammatory mediators. In this review, we focus on the relationship between OLP and its immune microenvironment. We summarize current developments in the immunology of OLP, summarizing functional cell types and crucial cytokines in the OLP immune microenvironment and the underlying mechanisms of key signaling pathways in the OLP immune microenvironment. We highlight the application potential of targeted immune microenvironment therapy for OLP.

    Abstract Background: Damaged and dead cells release cell-free DNA (cfDNA) that activates cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) synthase (cGAS), which leads to the activation of stimulator of interferon genes (STING)
    Methods: cfDNA was extracted from the saliva and plasma of OLP patients; its concentration was measured using the Quanti-iT-PicoGree kit and its relationship with OLP inflammation was assessed. cfDNA of OLP patients (cfDNA-OLP) was transfected into THP-1 macrophages and the expression of inflammatory factors was investigated by performing quantitative real time PCR (qRT-PCR), western blotting, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). STING expression was analyzed in the tissues of OLP patients and healthy controls using immunohistochemical staining and western blotting. siRNA was used to knockdown
    Results: The concentration of cfDNA in the saliva and plasma of OLP patients was considerably higher than that of healthy controls, and it positively correlated with the levels of inflammatory cytokines and clinical characteristics. cfDNA-OLP induced an inflammatory response in THP-1 macrophages. STING expression was significantly higher in OLP tissues than in the gingival tissues of healthy controls. STING knockdown suppressed cfDNA-OLP-induced inflammation in THP-1 macrophages. PAMAM-G3 inhibited the inflammatory response caused by cfDNA-OLP.
    Conclusion: The cfDNA level is increased in OLP patients, and the STING pathway activated by cfDNA-OLP might play a critical role in OLP pathogenesis. Treatment with PAMAM-G3 reduced the inflammation induced by cfDNA-OLP, and therefore, may be a potential treatment strategy for OLP.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of Multi-focused (MF) laser in the treatment of vulvar lichen sclerosus (VLS).
    Methods: In this single-center, randomized controlled trial, we compared the effect of fractionated MF laser with other treatments on patients with biopsy-proven VLS. Patients with VLS were enrolled in this study and randomly divided into three groups. Patients in the experimental group were treated with a CO
    Results: One month after treatment, the pruritus degree, skin elasticity, skin color, lesion scope, and total score decreased in the experimental group, and the differences were statistically significant (
    Conclusion: For the three treatment methods for VLS, topical corticosteroids + traditional Chinese medicine can quickly relieve itching symptoms in patients, but it cannot significantly improve skin elasticity, skin color, and lesion scope, and VLS easily relapses after treatment. Radiofrequency can improve itching symptoms and skin color but has poor effects on the change of skin elasticity and lesion scope. Multi-focused laser treatment can alleviate the degree of pruritus, improve skin color and elasticity, and narrow the lesion scope, and VLS will not relapse within three months after treatment.

    Abstract Background: Lichen planus (LP) with distribution of lesions along Blaschko's lines is a rare entity, accounting for 0.24%-0.62% of all patients. Unilateral distribution of lesions in arm, leg, trunk, and waist is even less common. Approximately 10% of patients with LP manifest nail lesions.
    Case summary: A 20-year-old woman presented to our department with polygonal, purpuric, flat-topped papules over the right arm, right leg, and right side of trunk and waist for the last 5 mo. The patient initially developed nail deformation in the left middle finger with no obvious cause, followed by development of blue-purple and red maculopapular rash with pruritus. During the disease course, the skin lesions aggravated and spread to several segments due to scratching. The lesions showed unilateral distribution along the Blaschko's lines. The diagnosis of LP along Blaschko's lines was established based on dermoscopy and skin biopsy. Her cutaneous lesions considerably improved after 4-wk treatment with intramuscular glucocorticoid, oral acitretin, topical glucocorticoid, and retinoids.
    Conclusion: Cases of LP involving multiple segments of the body along the Blaschko's lines with nail damage are rare.

    Abstract Objective: Oral lichen planus (OLP) is one of the most common oral mucosa diseases, and is mainly mediated by T lymphocytes. The metabolic reprogramming of activated T cells has been shown to transform from oxidative phosphorylation to aerobic glycolysis. The present study investigated the serum levels of glycolysis-related molecules (lactate dehydrogenase, LDH; pyruvic acid, PA; lactic acid, LAC) in OLP, and the correlation with OLP activity was assessed using the reticular, atrophic and erosive lesion (RAE) scoring system.
    Methods: Univariate and multivariate linear regression functions based on scikit-learn were designed to predict the RAE scores in OLP patients, and the performance of these two machine learning functions was compared.
    Results: The results revealed that the serum levels of PA and LAC were upregulated in erosive OLP (EOLP) patients, when compared to healthy volunteers. Furthermore, the LDH and LAC levels were significantly higher in the EOLP group than in the nonerosive OLP (NEOLP) group. All glycolysis-related molecules were positively correlated to the RAE scores. Among these, LAC had a strong correlation. The univariate function that involved the LAC level and the multivariate function that involved all glycolysis-related molecules presented comparable prediction accuracy and stability, but the latter was more time-consuming.
    Conclusion: It can be concluded that the serum LAC level can be a user-friendly biomarker to monitor the OLP activity, based on the univariate function developed in the present study. The intervention of the glycolytic pathway may provide a potential therapeutic strategy.

    Abstract Objective: Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a T cell-mediated inflammatory condition in the oral cavity. Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are gaining more relevance in immune diseases because they can be activated by cytokines without T cell receptor stimulation. Herein, we tested the effect of interleukin-23 (IL-23) on the activation status of OLP MAIT cells.
    Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from OLP patients were stimulated by IL-23 in the absence or presence of phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) and ionomycin. The activation status of MAIT cells was analyzed by flow cytometry after staining for CD3, CD4, CD8, CD161, TCR Vα7.2, and CD69.
    Results: The fraction of MAIT cells in OLP peripheral blood was approximately 0.38% to 3.97%, and CD8
    Conclusions: IL-23 showed different effects on the activation status of OLP MAIT cells and CD8

    Abstract Objectives: This study aimed to explore the impacts of autophagy-related 9 homolog B (ATG9B)-mediated autophagy on T-cell immune responses in oral lichen planus.
    Design: ATG9B expression was detected in lesions and local T cells by immunohistochemical analysis and immunofluorescence assay. The effects of ATG9B-mediated autophagy on T-cell immune responses were explored after ATG9B-overexpression or ATG9B-knockdown lentivirus transfection. A coculture system of activated T cells and lipopolysaccharide-induced keratinocytes was used to simulate the main cell crosstalk in oral lichen planus.
    Results: The expression of ATG9B upregulated in lesions and local T cells of oral lichen planus, especially in non-erosive oral lichen planus, suggesting that ATG9B may be a diagnostic factor for oral lichen planus. Notably, ATG9B-knockdown T cells of oral lichen planus demonstrated autophagy suppression, enhanced proliferation, and attenuated apoptosis, whereas overexpression of ATG9B showed opposite effects on T cells. In the coculture system of T cells and keratinocytes, ATG9B-knockdown T cells of oral lichen planus, but not ATG9B-overexpression T cells, promoted the proliferation and apoptosis of their cocultured keratinocytes. Additionally, exogenous insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) significantly reversed the apoptosis rates of keratinocytes cocultured with T cells expressing abnormal ATG9B. Furthermore, ATG9B-overexpression T cells showed decreased secretion of interferon-γ and tumor necrosis factor-α in the coculture system.
    Conclusions: This study revealed the regulatory roles of ATG9B-mediated T-cell autophagy on T-cell immune responses and crosstalk between T cells and keratinocytes in of oral lichen planus.

    Abstract The comprehensive phytochemical research of Lethariella cladonioides (Nyl.) Krog, (Parmeliaceae), a lichen in southwest China, resulted in isolation of eighteen compounds (1–18), including a new phenolic acid 3,5-dihydroxy-4-methylbenzaldehyde (1) and seventeen known compounds, nine phenolic acids (2–10), one dibenzofuran (11), two depsides (12 and 13), one alkane (14), one glucoside (15), two polyols (16 and 17), and one fatty acid (18). The structures of these compounds were assigned by detailed interpretations of spectroscopic data (1D and 2D NMR, HR-ESI-MS) and comparisons with the published data. Among them, 3,5-dihydroxy-4-methylbenzaldehyde (1) is a new one. (−)-hydroxypropan-2′,3′-diol-orsellinate (10) have not been reported from any species in the lichens. Compounds 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 16 and 18 were firstly isolated from the genus Lethariella (Motyka) Krog. Compounds 2, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18 were reported from L. cladonioides firstly. The chemotaxonomic significance of these compounds was also discussed.

    Abstract Abstract: Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus (LSA) is a chronic inflammatory disease. The clinical presentation is clustered distribution of porcelain white spots that can be fused together. Early diagnosis of LSA is difficult, especially in the vulva, where it is difficult to distinguish from vitiligo. Traditional diagnostic methods mainly rely on histopathology. In this study, we used reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) to study the characteristics of LSA and vitiligo. We investigated the clinical and confocal features of 40 cases of histopathologically proven genital LSA or vitiligo, and correlated the features with histopathologic findings. Through the analysis of the results, by RCM, we can easily distinguish genital LSA from vitiligo, which are clinically indistinguishable. This can reduce the number of unnecessary biopsies, and help with early diagnosis and timely treatment.
