    Abstract Type 2 diabetes is associated with an increased risk of herpes zoster and postherpetic neuralgia. However, the association of type 1 diabetes with herpes zoster or postherpetic neuralgia remains unclear. This retrospective cohort study using Taiwan's Health Insurance Research Database included 199,566 patients with type 1 diabetes and 1,458,331 with type 2 diabetes, identified during the period 2000 to 2012. Patients with type 1 diabetes had a significantly higher risk of developing herpes zoster than those with type 2 diabetes (p < 0.001). Across all age groups, the impact of diabetes on herpes zoster was greater in type 1 than in type 2 diabetes. Patients with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes had a 1.45-fold higher risk of post-herpetic neuralgia than those without diabetes (hazard ratio 1.45, 95% confidence interval 1.28-1.65; hazard ratio 1.45, 95% confidence interval 1.37-1.52, respectively), and there was no difference between the 2 types of diabetes (hazard ratio 1.06; 95% confidence interval 0.93-1.21). The results recommend consideration of herpes zoster vaccination at an earlier age in patients with type 1 diabetes.

    Abstract Glucocorticoids (GCs) are the most common treatment for inflammatory skin disorders; however, they show several adverse side effects, including atrophy and collagen decrease following chronic treatment. In particular, transcription factors and p38 signaling for collagen synthesis have been shown to be suppressed by the active glucocorticoid receptor (GR). LY294002 (LY), a phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor, has been reported to protect keratinocytes in epidermis against GC-induced hypoplasia; however, its protective effect in dermis remains unclear. Furthermore, clobetasol propionate (CP) is the most used commercial synthetic GC, yet studies on how CP causes side effects in dermal fibroblasts are limited. In this study, dermal atrophy was modeled using CP in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) and C57BL/6 mice. CP treatment significantly upregulated FK506 binding protein 5 (FKBP51), an atrophy marker (2.4 ± 0.25 and 3.3 ± 0.3 fold in

    Abstract Doxorubicin (Dox) causes the generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inactivates insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) signaling, leading to cardiomyocyte apoptosis. IGF-binding protein 3 (IGFBP3) is the most abundant circulating IGF1 carrier protein with high affinity, which has been reported to mediate ROS-induced apoptosis. Hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF1A), an upstream protein of IGFBP3 is regulated by prolyl hydroxylase domain (PHD) through hydroxylation. In this study, we investigated the role of IGFBP3, HIF1A, and PHD in Dox-induced cardiac apoptosis.Cells challenged with 1 μM Dox for 24 h increased ROS generation, augmented intracellular and secreted IGFBP3 levels, and reduced IGF1 signaling. Further, we showed that Dox enhanced the extracellular association of IGF1 with IGFBP3. Moreover, echocardiography parameters, especially ejection fraction (EF) and fractional shortening (FS) were significantly reduced in ventricle tissue of Dox challenged rats. Notably, siRNA approach against IGFBP3 or an anti-IGFBP3 antibody rescued Dox-induced cardiac apoptosis, mitochondrial ROS, and the decrease in the IGF1 signaling activity. Furthermore, silencing HIF1A either using siRNA or inhibitor downregulated intracellular IGFBP3, rescued apoptosis, mitochondrial generation, and reduction in IGF1 signaling. Finally, western blot data revealed that ROS scavenger reversed Dox-induced cardiac apoptosis, increased levels of HIF1A and secreted IGFBP3, and decreased IGF1 survival signaling and PHD expression.These findings suggest that Dox-induced ROS generation suppressed PHD, which might stabilize nuclear HIF1A protein, leading to increased IGFBP3 expression and secretion. This in turn results in enhanced extracellular association of the latter with IGF1 and blocks IGF1 pro-survival signaling and may result in inducing cardiac apoptosis.

    Abstract Diallyl trisulfide (DATS), an organosulfide compound derived from garlic, is renowned for its potent antioxidant properties, particularly in countering the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). It has also gained recognition as a potential agent for preventing heart-related conditions. Doxorubicin (Dox), a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug, is known to induce severe cardiac complications by promoting ROS production. Therefore, it was imperative to investigate whether DATS possesses cardioprotective capabilities against Dox-induced cardiac apoptosis and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. In this study, we observed that the intracellular ROS levels and cardiac apoptosis were heightened in H9c2 cells exposed to Dox (1 μM). However, treatment with 10 μM DATS effectively mitigated the Dox-induced ROS generation and apoptotic signaling, concurrently activating the PI3K/Akt pathway. Notably, the anti-apoptotic effects of DATS were attenuated when PI3K siRNA and the LY294002 PI3K inhibitor were employed. Furthermore, the TUNEL assay results demonstrated a significant reduction in Dox-induced apoptosis with DATS treatment. In summary, our findings indicate that DATS can activate the PI3K/Akt pathway, reducing ROS production in cardiac cells exposed to Dox, and subsequently rescue cardiac cells from apoptosis.

    Abstract Background: Skin pigmentation is modulated by various processes, with melanogenesis playing a key role. Melanin is synthesized by the catalysis of melanogenesis-related enzymes, such as tyrosinase and tyrosine-related proteins TRP-1 and TRP-2. Paeoniflorin is the main bioactive component of Paeonia suffruticosa Andr., Paeonia lactiflora., or Paeonia veitchii Lynch and has been used for centuries for its anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and anti-carcinogenic properties.
    Aims & methods: In this study, melanin biosynthesis in mouse melanoma (B16F10) cells was induced using α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), and then cells were co-treated with paeoniflorin to evaluate its potential anti-melanogenic effect.
    Results: α-MSH stimulation increased melanin content, tyrosinase activity, and melanogenesis-related markers in a dose-dependent manner. However, treatment with paeoniflorin reversed α-MSH-induced upregulation of melanin content and tyrosinase activity. Furthermore, paeoniflorin inhibited cAMP response element-binding protein activation and TRP-1, TRP-2, and microphthalmia-associated transcription factor protein expression in α-MSH-stimulated B16F10 cells.
    Conclusion: Overall, these findings show the potential of paeoniflorin as a depigmenting agent for cosmetic products.

    Abstract Background: There are limited population-based data regarding pediatric herpes zoster (HZ).
    Methods: Children aged <12 years with varicella infections between 2000 and 2006 were identified from a national population-based database and followed-up for a diagnosis of HZ until December 2008. Since a routine varicella vaccination program was started in 2004, vaccinated children without medically attended varicella were identified between 2004 and 2006, and followed-up for a diagnosis of HZ until December 2008.
    Results: Of 27 517 children with medically attended varicella, 428 developed HZ. The incidence of HZ was 262.1 per 100 000 person-years. Of 25 132 vaccinated children without medically attended varicella, 106 developed HZ. The incidence of HZ was 93.3 per 100 000 person-years. The mean duration from varicella to HZ was 4.12 years. Children diagnosed with varicella at aged <2 years had a higher incidence (P < .001) and shorter duration (P = .04) than those diagnosed aged ≧2 years. Children diagnosed with varicella aged ≥2 but <8 years had a significantly increased incidence of HZ after than before the vaccination program (relative risk = 1.85 at 3 years of follow-up, P = .03). Children with varicella infections had a significantly greater risk of HZ than vaccinated children without a history of varicella (relative risk = 2.31 at 4 years of follow-up, P < .001).
    Conclusions: This study demonstrates the population-based epidemiologic characteristics of pediatric HZ among those who contracted varicella. In the early postvaricella vaccination period, an increased HZ incidence was observed among children with varicella infection aged ≥2 years.

    Abstract Non-invasive and quantitative estimations for the delineation of sub-surface tumor margins could greatly aid in the early detection and monitoring of the morphological appearances of tumor growth, ensure complete tumor excision without the unnecessary sacrifice of healthy tissue, and facilitate post-operative follow-up for recurrence. In this study, a high-speed, non-invasive, and ultra-high-resolution spectral domain optical coherence tomography (UHR-SDOCT) imaging platform was developed for the quantitative measurement of human sub-surface skin mass. With a proposed robust, semi-automatic analysis, the system can rapidly quantify lesion area and shape regularity by an en-face-oriented algorithm. Various sizes of nylon sutures embedded in pork skin were used first as a phantom to verify the accuracy of our algorithm, and then in vivo, feasibility was proven using benign human angiomas and pigmented nevi. Clinically, this is the first step towards an automated skin lesion measurement system. In vivo optical coherence tomography (OCT) image of angioma (A). Thin red arrows point to a blood vessel (BV).

    Abstract Galangin, a natural flavonol, has anti‐inflammatory and antioxidative potential. However, the cytoprotective effects of galangin against oxidative‐induced aging in human fibroblasts have not been well studied. IGF‐1 signaling pathway is associated with the control of aging and longevity in human. The goal of this study was to investigate the effects of galangin on human skin fibroblast HS68 cells under H2O2 exposure to induce aging. In this study, we demonstrate that galangin could decrease the levels of pro‐inflammatory proteins and enhanced collagen formation through promoting the IGF‐1R pathway. Furthermore, aging markers such as senescence‐associated β‐galactosidase p53, p21Cip1/WAF1, and p16INK4A were upregulated under H2O2 exposure and galangin could reverse its effects. Taken together, these data indicated that anti‐inflammatory and antiaging activities of galangin may be mediated through the IGF‐1R signaling pathway. These findings may provide the evidence for galangin to develop as an antiwrinkle product on human skin.
