    Abstract Introduction: Morphea localized scleroderma (LS) is a rare skin disease with unknown pathogenesis, which causes sclerosis of the dermis and subcutaneous tissue.
    Objectives: It was aimed to compare the characteristics of patients with pediatric and adult-onset morphea.
    Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on the records of 183 adult morphea patients. The demographics, clinical and laboratory characteristics, and treatment options of the patients were recorded. Adult patients with morphea over the age of 18 were divided into two groups according to the age of onset and compared.
    Results: Twenty-two percent (N = 41) of the patients had pediatric-onset morphea (POLS) and 77.6% (n=142) had adult-onset morphea (AOLS). While POLS had a higher head-neck involvement, AOLS had a higher breast involvement (P < 0.001 and P = 0.043). Patients with linear morphea were younger, and more frequently had at least one laboratory anomaly (P = 0.016 versus 0.024). Anti-dsDNA positivity and low hemoglobin (Hb) were observed more frequently in patients with breast involvement. Patients with inguinal involvement, on the other hand, had lower Hb and a higher rate of diabetes, and those patients were older (P = 0.042, 0.040, and 0.012, respectively).
    Conclusions: Clinical characteristics and accompanying laboratory anomalies of the patients with morphea depend on the age of onset, involvement areas and the types of morphea, having such data readily available should guide the holistic approach for, and the monitoring process of, the disease.

    Abstract Objective: Seborrheic dermatitis is a common papulosquamous skin disease with unknown pathogenesis. The aim of our study was to determine the serum level of 25-hydroxy vitamin D in patients with seborrheic dermatitis SD.
    Methods: A total of 53 patients and 60 healthy controls were included in the study. Serum vitamin D, calcium, phosphorus, and parathormone levels were measured in the patient and control groups, and a comparison was made between the two groups regarding these parameters.
    Results: Severe vitamin D deficiency was more frequent among patients with seborrheic dermatitisSD compared to controls (52.8 vs. 25.8%, p=0.003). In patients with severe vitamin D deficiency, seborrheic dermatitis SD was detected more frequently at an early age (p=0048) and in women (p=0.015). No correlation was found between the seborrheic dermatitis skin involvement site and vitamin D level.
    Conclusion: The fact that vitamin D levels decreased in patients with seborrheic dermatitis SD and patients with severe vitamin D deficiency develop seborrheic dermatitis SD earlier suggests that the low levels of vitamin D are related to seborrheic dermatitis.

    Abstract Background: Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) is a common, chronic inflammatory disease with relapses and remissions.
    Objectives: So we planned to investigate the relationship between SD and metabolic syndrome (Mets).
    Methods: 54 patients over 18 years of age without known diabetes mellitus, hypertension, coronary artery disease who were clinically diagnosed with SD in our clinic and 47 healthy controls were included in the study. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated of all participants. Complete blood count, fasting blood sugar (FBG), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) were examined. The relationship between the presence of MetS, disease severity, and duration was investigated.
    Results: Average age of patients was 35.4 (sd: 12). Average age of controls was 32.9 (sd: 10.7). MetS was detected in 35.2% (n = 19) of the patient group and 10.6% (n = 5) of the control group. The presence of MetS was higher in SD patients than in the control group (p = 0.004). The rate of people with high TG was significantly higher in the SD group than the controls (p = 0.015). HDL level was significantly lower in the patient group (p = 0.050). Systolic and diastolic blood pressure were high in patients (p = 0.016, p = 0.029).
    Conclusions: Seborrheic dermatitis should be considered as a MetS marker and the presence of MetS should be examined in this group of patients. This can be helpful for the early diagnosis of a systemic disease complex with numerous complications. Also, treatment of MetS can also improve SD lesions.

    Abstract Background: Psoriasis is a multifactorial, chronic inflammatory skin disease where genetic and environmental factors play a role in the pathogenesis. Smoking is one of the critical environmental factors triggering psoriasis.
    Objective: The purpose of the present study was to analyse the smoking habits of patients with psoriasis and the effect of smoking on disease characteristics.
    Methods: One hundred and thirty-three patients who applied to the department of Dermatological and Venereal Diseases, Ankara Numune Education and Research Hospital, between May 2018 and May 2019 and were diagnosed with psoriasis participated in the study. Clinical, demographical, and treatment-related characteristics, and smoking habits of patients were recorded.
    Results: Sixty-seven point six percent of psoriasis patients were smokers. The presence of moderate to severe psoriasis (P = .028), nail involvement (P = .004), administration of systemic treatment (P = .024) and additional cardiovascular disease (P = .038) frequencies was higher in smokers compared to non-smokers. Besides, a positive correlation was observed between the amount of smoking and psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) (P = .003; r = .32).
    Conclusions: Smoking has many negative effects on patients with psoriasis including higher PASI levels, increased frequency of nail involvement, and cardiovascular diseases. Questioning cigarette smoking in psoriatic patients and supporting smoking cessation may contribute to reducing the adverse impact of smoking on psoriasis.

    Abstract Introduction: Psoriasis is an immune-mediated, chronic and inflammatory disease whose pathogenesis is affected by the interactions of several immune cells and cytokines. PD-1 is an inhibitor receptor that is expressed to a large extent in T lymphocytes and responsible for regulating autoimmunity and self-tolerance.
    Objectives: In this study, we aimed to investigate the expression of PD-1/PD-L molecules in the lesioned skins of psoriasis patients.
    Methods: The study included 30 psoriasis patients, and 15 healthy volunteers as the control group. Anti PD-1 and PD-L1 antibodies were applied to the skin biopsy samples that were collected from the patient and control groups. Cytoplasmic and membranous staining of PD-1 and PD-L1 were considered positive. The number of stained immune cells that was examined for each case.
    Results: The percentage of the tissues with high PD-1 (+) and PDL-1 (+) immune cell counts were significantly higher in the psoriasis patients compared to healthy controls (P values = 0.004 and 0.002, respectively). A negative and statistically significant correlation was detected between PDL-1(+) immune cell numbers and PASI scores (P = 0.033, r=-0.57).
    Conclusions: In the lesioned skin samples of psoriasis patients, the PD-1 and PD-L1 expressions were significantly higher in immune cells than that in the skin samples of the healthy controls. This study was the first investigation of the expression of PD-1/PD-L molecules in the immune cells in found the lesioned skins of psoriasis patients.

    Abstract Background: Vitiligo, a multifactorial, depigmented skin disease, is characterised by selective loss of functional melanocytes leading to pigment reduction in the affected areas of the skin.
    Aim: We aimed to examine thiol-disulphide homeostasis, IMA, copper, zinc, selenium, vitamin A and vitamin C levels in vitiligo patients.
    Materials and methods: The study included 83 vitiligo patients and 72 healthy controls. Copper, zinc, and selenium levels were measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometer; vitamin A and E levels were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. Ischemia-modified albumin and native/total thiol levels were measured by colourimetric method.
    Results: Serum native and total thiol levels were significantly lower in vitiligo patients (
    Conclusions: All thiol-disulphide homeostasis parameters (the most important antioxidant-oxidant system in circulation), trace elements, and vitamins together were evaluated in the present study in vitiligo patients. It can be concluded that vitiligo patients have increased oxidative stress status, and also the increase in the dissemination of the disease also increases the oxidative stress in the body.

    Abstract Background: Vitiligo is an autoimmune disease characterised by acquired loss of melanocytes. Although the pathogenesis of vitiligo remains unknown, oxidative stress and autoimmune dysregulations are considered to play a role.
    Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the HLA profile and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and their relationship to clinical characteristic of vitiligo patients.
    Methods: Ninety-one vitiligo patients and 100 healthy controls were included in the study. We analysed HLA allele frequencies using sequence-specific oligonucleotide Prob (SSOP) method. Serum total antioxidant capacity (TAC) levels were measured and compared between vitiligo patients and controls.
    Results: HLA-A*02 allele frequency was increased (OR = 1.6, CI = 1.12-2.24, P = .009), HLA-A*11 (OR = 0.46, CI = 0.32-0.91, P = .019) and HLA-DRB1*01 (OR = 0.39, CI = 0.16-0.92, P = .029) frequencies were decreased in vitiligo patients. HLA-A*02 allele especially increased the risk of late onset (Vitiligo onset >30 years of age) vitiligo (OR:3.67, 95% CI: 1.63-8.26, P = .002). Serum TAC levels were similar between vitiligo patients and healthy controls but TAC levels were significantly lower in patients who did not have an HLA-DRB1*01 allele (1.52 vs 1.61, P = .033).
    Conclusion: Our study showed that HLA-A*02 increases, HLA-A*11 and HLA-DRB1*01 decreases vitiligo susceptibility in Turkish patients as well as a possible relationship between HLA and TAC.
