Abstract

Background: This paper reports a segmental Stiff Skin Syndrome (SSS) case in a four-year-old girl.  SSS is a rare disease characterized by skin hardening and joint stiffness due to a mutation of the fibrillin-1 (FBN-1) gene encoding the fibrillin protein. The effective therapies for this disease are limited. Case Report: The patient presented with hardened skin and a limping gait.  Clinically, there were hard, hyperpigmented patches with hypertrichosis on the skin of the left femur and left gluteal. The left coxae and left genu joint were in fixed flexion, causing a limping gait. The SSS histology revealed thickened collagen fibers, trapping adipocytes between them, but no inflammatory cells.  The UV-A phototherapy and physiotherapy session resulted in a modest improvement. Discussion: This case's segmental SSS diagnosis was based on clinical and histological findings. Establishing a diagnosis of SSS is a challenge for clinicians because it can resemble other skin disorders, particularly sclerosing diseases. The recommended management for SSS remains limited. In this case, after the UV-A phototherapy and physiotherapy, complaints of hardened skin were said to soften.

Abstract

Background: Keloid is a process of abnormal collagen thickening during wound healing in skin tissue accompanied by the formation of new blood vessels. Many keloid therapy modalities have been developed but the recurrence rate of those treatment still ranged 1-70%. Herbal plants have been developed for various types of treatment, one of which is for treating keloids. Purpose: The alpha mangostin content in mangosteen peel is known to have antifibrotic properties, further research is needed regarding the administration of alpha mangostin on the process of keloid occurrence. Methods: The investigation was conducted in vitro on phase III keloid fibroblast cells. There were two groups, which divided into the control groups and the treatment groups. The control groups and treatment groups were given alpha mangostin extract in concentrations of 20 μM; the sample of this study was 16. For each group after 24h of the incubation, fibroblast cell proliferation was measured by Microtetrazolium (MTT) assay, fibroblast cell migration was measured by scratch assay, SMAD3 expression was measured after immunocytochemical staining, and type 1 collagen was measured by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). The Ethics Committee at the Research Ethics Commission of Faculty of Medicine Andalas University has reviewed this research. Result: Alpha mangostin can reduce the average expression of TGF-β1, SMAD3 expression, type 1 collagen, proliferation, and migration.  . Conclusion: At concentration of 20 μM, alpha mangostin suppressed TGF-β1 expression, SMAD 3, collagen type 1, proliferation, and migration in keloid fibroblast cell.

Abstract

Background: Atopic march is one of the global health problems that is commonly found in children. The prevalence of allergic rhinitis in Indonesia reaches to 1.5% to 12.4% and continues to increase every year. Allergic reactions can affect all tissues and organs in the body. Some clinical manifestations of allergies are allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, and asthma (atopic march). Atopic march often begins in infancy with the development of atopic dermatitis later in life. Purpose: To analyze the correlation between the prevalence of allergic rhinitis and history of infantile atopic dermatitis in children. Methods: This research used an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. Result: The data were categorized based on a history of atopic dermatitis and the diagnosis of allergic rhinitis. The statistical tests revealed a relationship between the incidence of allergic rhinitis and history of infantile AD in children. The chi-square test yielded a p-value of 0.014 and a contingency coefficient value of 0.213. The odd ratio (OR) value at a confidence level (CL) of 95% and a limit of 1.312 – 6.256 is 2.865, which means that patients who have a history of AD have a 2.8 times higher risk of experiencing AR. Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is that there is a correlation between the incidence of allergic rhinitis and history of infantile atopic dermatitis.

Abstract

Background: With the advancement of technology, access to information about acne vulgaris has become easier. Social media has become a key platform for influencers and doctors to educate the public about acne, which often leads acne sufferers to use social media as a reference for understanding the condition and treatment options. As a result, many individuals choose to practice self-medication based on information obtained from social media. Purpose: This study aims to examine the impact of social media on self-medication and the treatment of acne vulgaris. Methods: This is an analytical cross-sectional study conducted among high school students. The sample was selected using consecutive sampling. Data was collected through a questionnaire that assessed social media usage, self-medication practices, and treatment outcomes. Result: Among the 92 respondents who participated in this study, the following results were found: 18 respondents had a high level of social media usage, 54 respondents had a moderate level, and 20 respondents had a low level. In addition, 64 respondents expressed interest in self-medication, while 28 respondents were not interested in self-medication. The results of the acne treatment of 64 people interested in self-medication showed that eight people had significant improvement in self-medication results, 52 people had slight improvement, and four people had no improvement. The bivariate analysis shows that social media influences self-medication but does not affect treatment outcomes. Conclusion: Social media influences self-medication but does not affect the treatment outcomes of acne vulgaris.

Abstract

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a recurrent and chronic inflammatory skin disease affecting the quality of life and productivity of individuals. Several studies have reported the profile of transepidermal water loss (TEWL) in AD patients, however, there is either no data or very limited data on TEWL values in normal skin or in non-atopic individuals. Purpose: This study aims to update of the available evidence about TEWL values in healthy (non-AD) adults and AD patients, especially in Indonesia. Methods: This analytic study involved 37 non-AD subjects and 37 subjects with AD. TEWL measurements were assessed on the volar side of the left forearm. Result: The mean values in the non-AD group were 5.61 ± 3.85, while the mean values in the AD group were 18.07 ± 4.88. There is a significant difference in TEWL ​​values between the groups with non-atopic dermatitis and atopic dermatitis (p<0.001). Conclusion: TEWL value is significantly higher in AD patients compared to non-AD  individuals, indicating a compromised skin barrier function in AD. The consistent results across populations and geographic regions support the utility of TEWS as a reliable measure of AD severity, which can help clinicians customize treatment plans to meet the needs of each patient.

Abstract

Background: Immunodermatology is a medical specialty specializing in detecting and treating skin conditions induced by a compromised immune system response. Each cellular element of the skin undergoes a unique developmental process and serves a specific function within the skin. Many disorders affecting epithelial organs, including the skin, mucous membranes, digestive tract, and respiratory tracts, require immunodermatological testing for diagnosis and treatment. Immunodermatology, a field at the intersection of dermatology and immunology, continues to evolve, with new research being published annually. Purpose: This review aims to summarize the foundational principles of immunodermatology, current diagnostic approaches, and selected immune-mediated skin disorders. Review: There are numerous dermatological conditions related to immunodermatology. Advances in immunology and dermatology have enhanced our understanding of the skin as an active immune organ. Immunodermatology encompasses a wide range of diseases involving both innate and adaptive immunity. Despite growing research, many aspects remain under investigation. Conclusion: The skin’s immunological function could be viewed as a complex and multifaceted interplay between signal processing and defense reactions. Immunodermatology continues to expand with ongoing innovations in diagnostics and therapeutics, highlighting its importance in future clinical and research developments.
