Abstract
Psoriasis continues to affect a large percentage of patients worldwide and strongly appears to be a systematic disease. Efforts are being made to understand its etiology, which have led to research extended to genomic analysis with a focus on the role of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which play a major role in the pathogenesis of the disease. Plasma proteomic analysis in various diseases has provided promising results for choosing the right treatment for psoriasis, suggesting that it could play a key role in the prevention, prognosis, and treatment of the disease by individualizing treatment choices based on the proteomic profile of each patient. In this review, we focus on existing data in the bibliography on proteomic analysis in psoriasis and relevant approaches to future targeted therapies.

Abstract
Psoriatic lesions on the scalp, face, intertriginous, genitals, palms/soles, and nails are often delay diagnosed, hard-to-treat, and cause disability. Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is one of the most frequent and significant comorbidities in psoriasis. Many studies have discovered a link between psoriasis and MetS, but none have specifically assessed the hard-to-treat psoriasis in Indonesian population. This is a multicenter study involving four dermatology referral hospitals to investigate the association between psoriasis severity that has hard-to-treat lesions with the prevalence of MetS in Jakarta, Indonesia. Data was collected from April to October 2022. The severity of 84 hard-to-treat psoriasis patients was measured by Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) scores. The participants divided into PASI score >10 (severe) and ≤ 10 (mild-moderate) groups. MetS was identified based on the modified National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III. MetS was found in 64.3% of patients. Patients with a PASI score>10 had a significantly higher risk of metabolic syndrome compared to those with a score ≤ 10 (78.6% vs 50%, OR 3.667; 95% CI 1.413-9.514; p = 0.006). The prevalence of hypertension (p = 0.028), low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (p = 0.01), mean fasting blood sugar (p = 0.018), and triglyceride levels (p = 0.044) between the two groups differed significantly. This study found most frequent components of MetS were abdominal obesity, decreased levels of HDL cholesterol, hypertension, hyperglycemia, and hypertriglyceridemia respectively. Individuals with severe hard-to-treat psoriasis had a 3.67 times more likely to have MetS rather than the mild-moderate group.

The Impact of Shared Assistance between Dermatology and Internal Medicine on Patients with Psoriasis. J Clin Med 2024; 13:2441. [PMID: 38673714 PMCID: PMC11051363 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13082441] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2024] [Revised: 04/14/2024] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: The care of psoriatic patients requires a multidisciplinary approach that addresses not only skin involvement but also cardiovascular risk factors. Coordination between dermatology and internal medicine departments, with a specific focus on treatment and long-term follow-up, can substantially improve the course of a disease and its associated complications. Objective: to evaluate the effects of the holistic management of patients with psoriasis by a multidisciplinary team consisting of dermatology and internal medicine specialists. Methods: We conducted an observational, prospective, single-center case-control study between October 2016 and December 2019 in San Jorge University Hospital (Huesca, Spain). Cases included patients undergoing follow-up in the combined dermatology and internal medicine clinic. The control group consisted of an equivalent number of randomly selected, age- and sex-matched patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis who were seen in the general dermatology department of the same hospital during the same time period. Main outcomes and measures: The primary outcome was the control of psoriatic disease and cardiovascular risk factors such as weight, blood pressure, waist circumference, body mass index (BMI), SCORE index (Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation), and blood test parameters, as well as diet, physical exercise, and habits such as tobacco and alcohol consumption. To compare data collected over time, data were grouped into three time periods: baseline (t1), intermediate (t2), and final (t3). Results: The case group consisted of 27 patients, and the control group consisted of 25 patients. Multivariate analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between the 10-year risk of experiencing a cardiovascular event (SCORE) and the clinical characteristics and analytical variables of patients with psoriasis and controls (n = 52). The variables that were significantly associated with a higher 10-year risk of experiencing a cardiovascular event were age (OR, 1.33; CI95% 1.21-1.50; p < 0.001); smoking (OR, 5.05, CI95% 1.07-27.37; p = 0.047); PASI (OR, 7.98, CI95% 2.32-35.86; p = 0.003); BSA (OR, 1.22, CI95% 1.01-1.49; p = 0.044); and being a control patient (OR, 3.26; CI95% 0.84-13.56; p = 0.029). Conclusions: Pharmacological and behavioral interventions carried out as part of the procedure of the multidisciplinary clinic resulted in improvements in the following variables relative to the control group: PASI, BSA, DLQI, PSOLIFE, lipid profile, insulin and HOMA-IR GGT levels, vitamin D levels, and SCORE. These findings indicate the beneficial effect of the multidisciplinary clinic, which reduced the risk of cardiovascular events in psoriatic patients with metabolic comorbidities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Case-control studies indicate an association between lower serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels and psoriasis. Data from larger population-based cohorts including mild cases are sparse. OBJECTIVES To investigate the association between 25(OH)D and psoriasis in a large population-based cohort, and assess possible effect modification by overweight. METHODS Data from the Tromsø Study 2015-16 (Tromsø7), which included 19 520 participants from the general population aged 40-79 years, were subjected to a cross-sectional analysis. We assessed the shapes of the relationships between 25(OH)D and psoriasis using fractional polynomials. Odds ratios (ORs) for lifetime and active psoriasis were estimated using logistic regression. Adjusted models included month of blood sampling, body mass index (BMI), age and sex. Two-way and additive interaction between BMI and 25(OH)D were explored. RESULTS From a total of 19 520 participants [10 203 women (52.3%); mean age 56.3 years (SD 10.4); mean 25[OH]D, 63.4 nmol L-1 (SD 21.9)], 2088 (10.7%) reported lifetime psoriasis and 1179 (6.0%) reported active psoriasis the past 12 months. There was no association between 25(OH)D and lifetime psoriasis [OR per 10 nmol L-1 increase in 25(OH)D 1.02, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.99-1.04]. The relationship between 25(OH)D and active psoriasis was suggested to be nonlinear, but the model was not significant (P = 0.098). There was evidence for a superadditive effect (i.e. larger than the sum of the factors) of BMI > 27.5 kg m-2 and 25(OH)D < 25 nmol L-1 on the odds for active psoriasis (OR 1.92, 95% CI 1.18-3.12), but not for lifetime psoriasis (OR 1.41, 95% CI 0.93-2.15). There was no evidence for two-way interaction between BMI and 25(OH)D. CONCLUSIONS This large population-based study found no significant relationship between 25(OH)D and psoriasis. The analysis may have been underpowered to detect a threshold effect in the lower 25(OH)D spectrum. Interaction analysis indicates that high BMI and vitamin D deficiency combined increase the odds of active psoriasis more than the sum of these factors, with an estimated 92% higher odds for active psoriasis in participants with BMI > 27.5 kg m-2 and 25(OH)D < 25 nmol L-1. Providing advice to prevent vitamin D deficiency may be considered in the follow-up of overweight patients with psoriasis.

Abstract
Introduction Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease occurring worldwide. It is currently considered a multi-system disease, which is associated with several comorbidities. Aim To deeply understand the clinical characteristics of psoriasis comorbidities and explore the relationship between psoriasis comorbidities, different subtypes and related influencing factors. Material and methods This retrospective study analysed data from the electronic inpatient medical record system of dermatology and non-dermatology departments at a tertiary hospital in China. We collected relevant demographic data and clinical features of all patients diagnosed with psoriasis from January 2013 to September 2023. Results This study ultimately included a total of 1097 patients with psoriasis. Psoriasis vulgaris was the most common among the subtypes of psoriasis, with 957 (87.2%) cases. The sample consisted of 65.6% of males and 34.4% of females, with an average age of 53.5 ±15.2 years. Common comorbidities of psoriasis included hypertension (38.2%), hyperlipidaemia (29.4%), type 2 diabetes mellitus (24.6%), fatty liver disease (21.4%), coronary heart disease (21.0%), tumours (15.5%), gastroduodenal disease (14.4%), osteoarthropathy (11.8%), and cerebrovascular disease (10.8%). The incidence of hypertension (p = 0.015), hyperuricemia (p < 0.001), osteoarthropathy (p < 0.001), and autoimmune disease (p = 0.003) among different subtypes of psoriasis showed statistically significant differences. In addition, gender, smoking and alcohol consumption all have significant impacts on the distribution of comorbidities. Conclusions The distribution of psoriasis comorbidities and complications varies among different subtypes of psoriasis. Lifestyles such as smoking and alcohol abuse, as well as gender, are also associated with the occurrence of psoriasis comorbidities.

Abstract
Psoriasis is one of the most common inflammatory skin diseases with a chronic, relapsing-remitting course. The last decades of intense research uncovered a pathological network of interactions between immune cells and other types of cells in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Emerging evidence indicates that dendritic cells, TH17 cells, and keratinocytes constitute a pathogenic triad in psoriasis. Dendritic cells produce TNF-α and IL-23 to promote T cell differentiation toward TH17 cells that produce key psoriatic cytokines IL-17, IFN-γ, and IL-22. Their activity results in skin inflammation and activation and hyperproliferation of keratinocytes. In addition, other cells and signaling pathways are implicated in the pathogenesis of psoriasis, including TH9 cells, TH22 cells, CD8+ cytotoxic cells, neutrophils, γδ T cells, and cytokines and chemokines secreted by them. New insights from high-throughput analysis of lesional skin identified novel signaling pathways and cell populations involved in the pathogenesis. These studies not only expanded our knowledge about the mechanisms of immune response and the pathogenesis of psoriasis but also resulted in a revolution in the clinical management of patients with psoriasis. Thus, understanding the mechanisms of immune response in psoriatic inflammation is crucial for further studies, the development of novel therapeutic strategies, and the clinical management of psoriasis patients. The aim of the review was to comprehensively present the dysregulation of immune response in psoriasis with an emphasis on recent findings. Here, we described the role of immune cells, including T cells, B cells, dendritic cells, neutrophils, monocytes, mast cells, and innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), as well as non-immune cells, including keratinocytes, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and platelets in the initiation, development, and progression of psoriasis.

Abstract
Gene therapy is one of the most advanced therapies in current medicine. In particular, interference RNA-based therapy by small interfering RNA (siRNA) has gained attention in recent years as it is a highly versatile, selective and specific therapy. In dermatological conditions, topical delivery of siRNA offers numerous therapeutic advantages, mainly by inhibiting the expression of target transcripts directly in the skin. However, crossing the stratum corneum and overcoming intracellular barriers is an inherent challenge. Substantial efforts by scientists have moved towards the use of multimodal and multifunctional nanoparticles to overcome these barriers and achieve greater bioavailability in their site of action, the cytoplasm. In this review the most innovative strategies based on nanoparticle and physical methods are presented, as well as the design principles and the main factors that contribute to the performance of these systems. This review also highlights the synergistic contributions of medicine, nanotechnology, and molecular biology to advancing translational research into siRNA-based therapeutics for skin diseases.

Abstract
Our observational study included on 54 patients with PsO, evaluated into the Dermatology Department of the Emergency County Hospital Craiova, Romania, between August 2023 and January 2024, and 40 controls. Our research proposed determining the prevalence of MetS in a cohort of PsO patients, and its relationship to subclinical atherosclerosis, evaluated by carotid ultrasound. Metabolic syndrome (MetS) was established according to National Cholesterol Education Program (NCP) Adult Treatment Panel (ATP) III criteria for MetS for 35 of the patients (64.81%) vs. 11 of the control group (27.5%), p=0.0003. An overview of each component of MetS depending on the diagnostic criteria for MetS showed that waist and total cholesterol exerted significant differences. Carotid ultrasound evaluation revealed an increased ITM, of over 0.9mm, for 19 (35.18%) or PsO patients, significantly increased compared to controls, as well as the presence of carotid plaques in significantly different percentages (37.03% PsO vs. 17.5% controls, p=0.001). We also noted that for patients with MetS, US examination displayed increased results for IMT compared to those without MetS. The prevalence of carotid atheroma plaque was augmented in patients with MetS and PsO. In our PsO group IMT exerted a positive inter-relation with: age, MetS, blood glucose, disease duration, and PASI. Important to note is that after multiple linear regression analysis, age and MetS were independent indicators of IMT (p=0.02 for age and p=0.001 for MetS). Our findings sustain a firm relationship between MetS and psoriasis and the major consequence of this observation is the inherent risk of cardiovascular events.

Abstract
Introduction The nocebo effect is defined as adverse outcomes secondary to negative patient expectations rather than the pharmacologic activity of an intervention. Nocebo effects can reduce treatment adherence and/or persistence. Therefore, nocebo effects in psoriasis need to be defined. Methods A Cochrane systematic review was updated with a search of MEDLINE, Embase, and the CENTRAL Register of Controlled Trials for phase II - IV RCTs comparing systemic therapy versus placebo for patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Estimates were pooled using a random effects model, and heterogeneity was evaluated using the I2 statistic. The primary outcome was the pooled proportion of any adverse event (AE) and corresponding risk difference (RD) in patients randomized to placebo versus systemic therapy. Results A total of 103 unique trials were identified enrolling 43,189 patients. The overall pooled AE rate in patients randomized to systemic therapy was 57.1% [95% CI: 54.7-59.5%] compared to 49.8% [95% CI: 47.1-52.4%] for placebo [RD 6.7% (95% CI: 4.6-8.9%), p < 0.00001, I2 = 75%]. Both biologic and non-biologic systemic therapy groups had a higher proportion of infectious AEs compared to placebo. No statistically significant RD in serious AEs or AEs leading to discontinuation was identified between systemic therapy and placebo groups. Discussion Half of patients exposed to inert placebo in clinical trials of systemic psoriasis therapies experienced AEs, which may be explained by nocebo effects. These findings have important implications when counseling patients and designing future studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with psoriasis require long-term management; therefore, understanding the long-term safety of new treatments, such as bimekizumab (BKZ), is crucial. OBJECTIVES To evaluate BKZ's 3-year safety profile in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. METHODS Three years of safety data were pooled from three phase III trials (BE VIVID, BE READY and BE SURE) and their ongoing open-label extension (BE BRIGHT). Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) are reported using exposure-adjusted incidence rates (EAIRs) per 100 patient-years (PY). RESULTS In total, 1495 patients received at least one BKZ dose; total BKZ exposure was 3876.4 PY. The overall EAIR of TEAEs was 175.5/100 PY and decreased with longer exposure to BKZ. The most commonly reported TEAEs were nasopharyngitis, oral candidiasis and upper respiratory tract infection (EAIRs of 15.0/100 PY, 10.1/100 PY and 6.5/100 PY, respectively); 99.3% of oral candidiasis events were mild or moderate in severity, none were serious and few led to discontinuation. EAIRs of other TEAEs of interest were low, including serious infections (1.2/100 PY), adjudicated inflammatory bowel disease (0.2/100 PY) and laboratory elevations in aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase (> 5 × upper limit of normal: 0.6/100 PY). CONCLUSIONS In these analyses pooled across 3 years, no new safety signals were observed with longer exposure to BKZ. The vast majority of oral candidiasis events were mild or moderate in severity, as reported previously.

Front Immunol 2024; 15:1328297. [PMID: 38550599 PMCID: PMC10972863 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2024.1328297] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2023] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Obesity and dyslipidemia, major global health concerns, have been linked to psoriasis, but previous studies faced methodological limitations and their shared genetic basis remains unclear. This study examines various obesity-related and lipidemic traits as potential contributors to psoriasis development, aiming to clarify their genetic associations and potential causal links. Methods Summary statistics from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) conducted for obesity-related traits (body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for the body mass index (WHRadjBMI)) and lipidemic traits (high-density lipoprotein (HDL), LDL, triglyceride (TG), total Cholesterol (TC), apolipoprotein A1 (apoA1), apolipoprotein B (apoB), and apolipoprotein E (apoE)) and psoriasis, all in populations of European ancestry, were used. We quantified genetic correlations, identified shared loci and explored causal relationship across traits. Results We found positive genetic correlation between BMI and psoriasis (rg=0.22, p=2.44×10-18), and between WHR and psoriasis (rg=0.19, p=1.41×10-12). We further found the positive genetic correlation between psoriasis and WHRadjBMI(rg=0.07, p=1.81×10-2) the genetic correlation, in while the effect of BMI was controlled for. We identified 14 shared loci underlying psoriasis and obesity-related traits and 43 shared loci between psoriasis and lipidemic traits via cross-trait meta-analysis. Mendelian randomization (MR) supported the causal roles of BMI (IVW OR=1.483, 95%CI=1.333-1.649), WHR (IVW OR=1.393, 95%CI=1.207-1.608) and WHRadjBMI (IVW OR=1.18, 95%CI=1.047-1.329) in psoriasis, but not observe any significant association between lipidemic traits and the risk of psoriasis. Genetic predisposition to psoriasis did not appear to affect the risk of obesity and lipidemic traits. Conclusions An intrinsic link between obesity-related traits and psoriasis has been demonstrated. The genetic correlation and causal role of obesity-related traits in psoriasis highlight the significance of weight management in both the prevention and treatment of this condition.

Comparison of Perceptions of Skin Condition, Product Use and Allergen Reactivity Between People with Psoriasis and Controls in the European Dermato-Epidemiology Network (EDEN) Fragrance Study. Acta Derm Venereol 2024; 104:adv23513.

Abstract
Psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory skin disease, goes beyond visible symptoms and affects the general well-being of patients. The aim of this study is to understand how patients with psoriasis perceive their skin characteristics and reactivity to allergens. The study population includes 11,283 participants within the European Dermato-Epidemiology Network (EDEN) Fragrance study, covering several European regions. The study compared perceptions of skin dryness, sensitivity, product avoidance and reactivity to allergens between patients with psoriasis and controls, evaluating the potential influence of psoriasis severity. The results showed that subjects with psoriasis reported dry skin (71.1%) and sensitive skin (49.4%) more often than did controls (51.6% and 38.5%, respectively). Psoriasis patients were more likely to avoid specific products. Interestingly, there were no significant differences in patch-test results between the 2 groups and the severity of psoriasis did not have a consistent impact on these perceptions. In conclusion, people with psoriasis tend to perceive their skin as drier and more sensitive. Notably, the severity of psoriasis did not consistently influence these perceptions and objective reactivity to allergens did not align with subjective perception. Understanding these aspects is crucial for tailoring treatments to improve the well-being of patients with psoriasis, which warrants further research to explore subjective perceptions of skin well-being in patients with psoriasis.

Front Immunol 2024; 15:1354593. [PMID: 38500874 PMCID: PMC10944886 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2024.1354593] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2023] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 03/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Background There is no consensus on the effect of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) inhibitors on lipid profiles in patients with psoriasis. This study aimed to investigate the effects of TNF-alpha inhibitors on lipid profiles (triglycerides, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, or high-density lipoprotein) in patients with psoriasis. Methods We searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases for articles published before October 17, 2023. Four TNF-alpha inhibitors (infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab, and certolizumab) were included in our study. (PROSPERO ID: CRD42023469703). Results A total of twenty trials were included. Overall results revealed that TNF-alpha inhibitors elevated high-density lipoprotein levels in patients with psoriasis (WMD = 2.31; 95% CI: 0.96, 3.67; P = 0.001), which was supported by the results of sensitivity analyses excluding the effect of lipid-lowering drugs. Subgroup analyses indicated that high-density lipoprotein levels were significantly increased in the less than or equal to 3 months group (WMD = 2.88; 95% CI: 1.37, 4.4; P < 0.001), the etanercept group (WMD = 3.4; 95% CI = 1.71, 5.09, P < 0.001), and the psoriasis group (WMD = 2.52; 95% CI = 0.57, 4.48, P = 0.011). Triglyceride levels were significantly increased in the 3 to 6-month group (WMD = 4.98; 95% CI = 1.97, 7.99, P = 0.001) and significantly decreased in the 6-month and older group (WMD = -19.84; 95% CI = -23.97, -15.7, P < 0.001). Additionally, Triglyceride levels were significantly increased in the psoriasis group (WMD = 5.22; 95% CI = 2.23, 8.21, P = 0.001). Conclusion Our results revealed that TNF-alpha inhibitors might temporarily increase high-density lipoprotein levels in patients with psoriasis. However, changes in triglycerides were not consistent among the different durations of treatment, with significant increases after 3 to 6 months of treatment. Future prospective trials with long-term follow-up contribute to confirming and extending our findings. Systematic Review Registration https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/, identifier CRD42023469703.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with psoriasis may have cognitive impairment. However, there is limited information regarding intrinsic brain activity and cognitive function in patients with psoriasis. OBJECTIVES This study aim to assess alterations of intrinsic brain activity and its association with cognitive function in patients with psoriasis. METHODS A total of 222 patients with psoriasis aged 18-70 years and 144 age and gender-matched healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled into this study. All subjects underwent brain resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) and neuropsychological testing. The rs-fMRI data were analysed for both intrinsic brain activity as indicated by amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) and seed-based functional connectivity (FC). Correlative analysis of brain activity with cognitive assessment was performed. RESULTS Compared with the HCs, patients with psoriasis had worse cognitive performance in the Trail Making Test, Digit Span Test and Stroop Color-Word Test (p < 0.05). Patients with psoriasis showed decreased ALFF in the left superior frontal gyrus, the left medial superior frontal gyrus and the right precuneus gyrus; as well as enhanced ALFF in the left paracentral lobule (pFWE < 0.05). Significant correlations were noted between the altered ALFF in the four brain regions and cognitive assessment (p < 0.05). Moreover, patients with psoriasis had increased FC between the four brain regions with altered ALFF (seeds) and the left prefrontal gyrus, the left anterior cingulate gyrus, left superior parietal lobule and default mode network (DMN) regions such as the right precuneus gyrus, left inferior parietal lobule, right angular gyrus and bilateral inferior temporal gyrus (pFWE < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Patients with psoriasis had altered brain activity and connectivity in the key brain areas within the DMN-prefrontal circuit. These brain changes may be the underlying neural correlates for cognitive functioning in patients with psoriasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis is a common, chronic, inflammatory disease. Although it mainly affects the skin, it has been associated with a large number of comorbidities. In addition to comorbidities such as depression and psoriatic arthritis, it is known that there is an increased prevalence of cancer in psoriasis patients. Skin cancers, particularly squamous cell carcinoma, have been associated with psoriasis. However, basal cell carcinoma data are limited. METHODS 346 psoriasis patients and 306 individuals were selected as the control group. There were no differences between the patient and control groups in terms of age and gender. The mean age of the psoriasis patients was 49.9 ± 15.8 years and the control group was 49.4 ± 13.4 years. Sociodemographic data of the patients were recorded. Pharmacological agents used in the treatment of psoriasis were included in the analysis. Disease severity was assessed by the psoriasis area severity index (PASI). In the physical examination of the patients, biopsies were taken from lesions suspicious for BCC. BCC diagnosis was made by histopathologically. RESULTS The frequency of BCC was higher in psoriasis patients than in the control group (6.6% vs. 2.9%, p < .001). Advanced age (p < .001), smoking (p = .003), and arthritis (p < .001) were associated with BCC in psoriasis patients. However, there was no relationship between PASI and BCC (p = .142). Among the psoriasis treatments, only UV therapy was associated with BCC (p = .038). The frequency of PUVA (p < .001) and number of PUVA session (p = .010) was higher in psoriasis patients with BCC rather than NB-UVB. CONCLUSION The frequency of BCC is increased in psoriasis patients. Psoriasis is associated with an increased risk of BCC, especially when treated with PUVA therapy for a long time.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Secukinumab is an anti-interleukin (IL)-17A monoclonal antibody indicated for multiple immunological disorders. Here, we aim to summarize secukinumab safety in clinical trials (CTs) and post-marketing setting (PMS) until 25 June 2022. METHODS Adverse events (AEs) were summarized with crude reporting rate (RR) per 100 patient-years (PY) in PMS for all reported indications and with exposure-adjusted incident rates (EAIR) per 100 PY in pooled 47 CTs for approved indications. RESULTS Secukinumab exposure totaled 1,159,260 PY in PMS and 27,765 PY in CTs. AEs were mostly (> 80%) non-serious in PMS. EAIR for serious AEs was 7.0/100 PY. Nasopharyngitis (RR 0.59/100 PY, EAIR 16.08/100 PY) and pneumonia (RR 0.14/100 PY, EAIR 0.17/100 PY) were the most common infection and serious infection, respectively. Candida infections (RR 0.20/100 PY, EAIR 2.16/100 PY) were the most common fungal infections. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) was observed in PMS (0.14/100 PY) and CTs (0.26/100 PY). Most (76%) patients with prior IBD did not report IBD flare during CTs. PMS monitoring identified paradoxical skin reactions including dyshidrotic eczema (RR 0.006/100 PY) and pyoderma gangrenosum (RR 0.003/100 PY). CONCLUSION Secukinumab safety profile with increased patient exposure remained favorable. Paradoxical skin reactions were identified in post-marketing monitoring.

Abstract
PURPOSE Although many studies have investigated the association between psoriasis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the causal relationship between psoriasis and COPD is still unknown. METHODS We employed bidirectional Mendelian randomization to investigate the causal relationship between psoriasis and COPD. Genetic instruments for exposure were selected from two distinct genome-wide association study databases. Single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with exposures at the genome-wide significance level (p < 5 × 10^-8 ) and exhibiting low linkage disequilibrium (r^2 < 0.001) were chosen as instrumental variables. Causality was assessed using multiple MR methods, including Inverse-Variance Weighted (IVW), MR-Egger, Weighted Median, Simple Mode, and Weighted Mode. A significance level of p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Heterogeneity was examined using Cochran's Q test, and MR-Egger regression was employed to detect pleiotropy. The robustness and reliability of the results were further evaluated through leave-one-out analysis. RESULTS We found a positive causal association between psoriasis and COPD [IVW: odds ratio (OR): 1.0006; p = 0.0056]. Heterogeneity and pleiotropy have not been discovered, so the results of the study are reliable. In the reverse analysis, no causal association between CPOD and psoriasis was found. CONCLUSION Our findings revealed that psoriasis was associated with an elevated risk of COPD. However, no causal association between COPD and psoriasis was identified in our study.

Skin Res Technol 2024; 30:e13641. [PMID: 38426414 PMCID: PMC10905529 DOI: 10.1111/srt.13641] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2023] [Accepted: 02/19/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Frailty is associated with a variety of diseases, but the relationship between frailty and psoriasis remains unclear. METHODS First, we conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization based on genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to investigate genetic causality between frailty index and common diseases in dermatology. Inverse variance weighted was used to estimate causality. Second, expression quantitative trait locus (eQTLs) analysis was conducted to identify the genes affected by Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Third, we performed function and pathway enrichment, transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) analysis based on eQTLs. RESULTS It was shown that the rise of frailty index could increase the risk of psoriasis (IVW, beta = 0.916, OR = 2.500, 95%CI:1.418-4.408, p = 0.002) through Mendelian randomization (MR), and there was no heterogeneity and pleiotropy. There was no causality between the frailty index and other common diseases in dermatology. We found 31 eQTLs based on strongly correlated SNPs in the causality. TWAS analysis found that the expressions of four genes were closely related to psoriasis, including HLA-DQA1, HLA-DQA2, HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1. CONCLUSION It suggested that the frailty index had a significant positive causality on the risk of psoriasis, which was well documented by combined genomic, transcriptome, and proteome analyses.

[PMID: 38403646 PMCID: PMC10895777 DOI: 10.1186/s12931-024-02721-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2023] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 02/27/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although some studies have indicated that Psoriasis could contribute to the risk of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), no study has reported a clear causal association between them. Our aim was to explore the potential relationship between Psoriasis and IPF using Mendelian randomization (MR) design. METHODS To explore a causal association between Psoriasis and IPF, we used genetic instruments from the largest available genome-wide association study (GWAS) of European ancestry, including psoriasis (5314 cases, 457,619 controls) and IPF (1028 cases, 196,986 controls). Our main analyses were conducted by inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method with random-effects model, with the other complementary four analyses: weighted median method, weighted mode, multivariable MR and MR-Egger approach. RESULTS The results of IVW methods demonstrated that genetically predicted psoriasis was significantly associated with higher odds of IPF, with an odds ratio (OR) of 1.09 (95%CI, 1.01-1.18; P = 0.02). Weighted median method, weighted mode and multivariable MR also demonstrated directionally similar results (P < 0.05), while the MR-Egger regression did not reveal the impact of psoriasis on IPF (OR = 1.09, 95%CI, 0.98-1.21; P = 0.11). In addition, both funnel plots and MR-Egger intercepts indicated no directional pleiotropic effects between psoriasis and IPF. CONCLUSIONS Our study provided potential evidence between genetically predicted psoriasis and IPF, which suggests that understanding the mutual risk factors between psoriasis and IPF can facilitate the clinical management of both diseases.

Intersecting Pathways: Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Psoriasis Duet-A Comprehensive Review. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:2660. [PMID: 38473907 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25052660] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2024] [Revised: 02/17/2024] [Accepted: 02/22/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated, inflammatory disease that has a major impact on patients' quality of life. Common psoriasis-associated comorbidities include cardiovascular diseases, psoriatic arthritis, inflammatory bowel syndromes, type-2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is affecting a substantial portion of the population and is closely linked with psoriasis. The interplay involves low-grade chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, and genetic factors. The review presents the pathophysiological connections between psoriasis and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, emphasizing the role of cytokines, adipokines, and inflammatory cascades. The "hepato-dermal axis" is introduced, highlighting how psoriatic inflammation potentiates hepatic inflammation and vice versa. According to the new guidelines, the preliminary examination for individuals with psoriasis should encompass evaluations of transaminase levels and ultrasound scans as part of the initial assessment for this cohort. Considering the interplay, recent guidelines recommend screening for NAFLD in moderate-to-severe psoriasis cases. Treatment implications arise, particularly with medications impacting liver function. Understanding the intricate relationship between psoriasis and NAFLD provides valuable insights into shared pathogenetic mechanisms. This knowledge has significant clinical implications, guiding screening practices, treatment decisions, and the development of future therapeutic approaches for these chronic conditions.

Abstract
Although various comorbidities have been noted to be associated with atopic dermatitis (AD) and psoriasis, few studies have compared comorbidities between the two diseases, and little is known about whether these comorbidities vary by the subtypes of psoriasis. In this study of 1:1 age- and sex-matched pair analysis between patients diagnosed with either psoriasis or AD at Asan Medical Center between 1991 and 2020, comorbidities, as determined by the International Classification of Diseases-10 codes, and likelihood ratios of metabolic and neurologic comorbidities in psoriasis compared with AD were studied using a logistic regression model. Among a total of 14,128 patients, the psoriasis group had higher odds of obesity (odds ratio [95% confidence interval]: 1.49 [1.34-1.66]), hypertension (1.14 [1.03-1.26]), diabetes mellitus (1.46 [1.29-1.66]), chronic kidney disease (1.59 [1.22-2.08]), and Parkinson's disease (2.1 [1.15-3.83]) than the AD group. Subgroup analysis revealed that patients with plaque psoriasis had higher odds of obesity (1.18 [1.05-1.33]), hypertension (1.18 [1.06-1.32]), diabetes mellitus (1.53 [1.34-1.75]), chronic kidney disease (1.66 [1.26-2.17]), and Parkinson's disease (2.12 [1.16-3.88]) compared with AD. Meanwhile, guttate psoriasis was associated with higher odds of dementia (3.63 [1.06-12.40]) and patients with generalized pustular psoriasis showed higher odds of diabetes mellitus (5.42 [1.56-18.83]) compared with AD. In conclusion, Asian patients with all types of psoriasis should be closely monitored for the development of metabolic and neurologic diseases, especially men and those aged ≥ 40 years.

Enhanced impact of psoriasis severity on the treatment demands of patients during the COVID-19 pandemic: a cross-sectional study based on a national psoriasis registry in China. BMJ Open 2024; 14:e079627. [PMID: 38367975 PMCID: PMC10875510 DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2023-079627] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2023] [Accepted: 01/17/2024] [Indexed: 02/19/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The personalised treatment demands of patients with psoriasis did not get significant attention during the pandemic lockdown. This study aimed to investigate the treatment demands of patients with psoriasis with different severities, stratified by COVID-19 pandemic conditions. DESIGN Cross-sectional study design. SETTING Multicentre study based on a national psoriasis registry in China. PARTICIPANTS A total of 22 425 adult patients with psoriasis were enrolled between August 2020 and September 2021. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcomes were patient demands for quick healing of skin lesions and improving mental health, which were collected by questionnaires. Multivariable logistic models were used to examine the impact of disease severity, as measured by Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI), body surface area (BSA) and Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA), on treatment demands, as stratified by COVID-19 pandemic conditions (lockdown vs non-lockdown). RESULTS Increasing PASI score significantly increased patient demands for rapid healing of skin lesions and improving mental health during non-lockdown periods. The magnitude of both associations further increased during the COVID-19 lockdown from an OR of 1.45 (95% CI 1.27 to 1.65) to 2.19 (95% CI 1.57 to 3.05) and 2.21 (95% CI 2.03 to 2.40) to 2.82 (95% CI 2.24 to 3.55), respectively. The skin lesion healing demand was more triggered by the overall irritation level (measured by IGA, OR 1.64, 95% CI 1.35 to 1.99 during non-lockdown periods vs OR 2.70, 95% CI 1.63 to 4.49 during lockdowns), while the mental health improving demand was more triggered by lesion coverage (measured by BSA, OR 2.01, 95% CI 1.85 to 2.19 vs OR 3.27, 95% CI 2.57 to 4.15). CONCLUSIONS Psoriasis aggravation significantly increased patients' treatment demands, especially during lockdowns. The used psoriasis severity measures highlighted patients' treatment demands differently. This suggests more accessible and personalised healthcare for patients with psoriasis should be available during future pandemics.

Association between systemic immune inflammation index, systemic inflammation response index and adult psoriasis: evidence from NHANES. Front Immunol 2024; 15:1323174. [PMID: 38415255 PMCID: PMC10896999 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2024.1323174] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2024] [Indexed: 02/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Background The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) are both novel biomarkers and predictors of inflammation. Psoriasis is a skin disease characterized by chronic inflammation. This study aimed to investigate the potential association between SII, SIRI, and adult psoriasis. Methods Data of adults aged 20 to 80 years from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (2003-2006, 2009-2014) were utilized. The K-means method was used to group SII and SIRI into low, medium, and high-level clusters. Additionally, SII or SIRI levels were categorized into three groups: low (1st-3rd quintiles), medium (4th quintile), and high (5th quintile). The association between SII-SIRI pattern, SII or SIRI individually, and psoriasis was assessed using multivariate logistic regression models. The results were presented as odds ratios (ORs) and confidence intervals (CIs). Restricted cubic spline (RCS) regression, subgroup, and interaction analyses were also conducted to explore the potential non-linear and independent relationships between natural log-transformed SII (lnSII) levels or SIRI levels and psoriasis, respectively. Results Of the 18208 adults included in the study, 511 (2.81%) were diagnosed with psoriasis. Compared to the low-level group of the SII-SIRI pattern, participants in the medium-level group had a significantly higher risk for psoriasis (OR = 1.40, 95% CI: 1.09, 1.81, p-trend = 0.0031). In the analysis of SII or SIRI individually, both SII and SIRI were found to be positively associated with the risk of psoriasis (high vs. low group OR = 1.52, 95% CI: 1.18, 1.95, p-trend = 0.0014; OR = 1.48, 95% CI: 1.12, 1.95, p-trend = 0.007, respectively). Non-linear relationships were observed between lnSII/SIRI and psoriasis (both p-values for overall < 0.05, p-values for nonlinearity < 0.05). The association between SII levels and psoriasis was stronger in females, obese individuals, people with type 2 diabetes, and those without hypercholesterolemia. Conclusion We observed positive associations between SII-SIRI pattern, SII, SIRI, and psoriasis among U.S. adults. Further well-designed studies are needed to gain a better understanding of these findings.

Abstract
Background Psoriasis is a frequent form of chronic inflammation in dermatology that is unmistakably linked to the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its elements. This study was to explore the current status and new developments in the global research, and the holistic landscape of this field more intuitively through bibliometric analysis of scientific output and activity. Methods Publications regarding psoriasis and MetS were searched and chosen from the database of the Web of Science Core Collection. Excel 2019, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace software were utilized to conduct bibliometric analysis. Results There were 1096 publications included. The scientific outputs in this field had increased from 2004 to 2022, and the expansion could continue in the following years. The United States contributed the most publications (241, 21.99%) and had the most citation frequency (13,489 times). The University of California System was the most productive affiliation. Girolomoni G., Armstrong A.W., Gisondi P. and Gelfand J.M. were key and influential researchers. Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology published the greatest number of articles (65 articles). By analyzing keyword frequency and clustering, we have identified the following areas of research interest and frontiers: prevalence, risk, association, gene expression, waist circumference, adipose tissue inflammation, vascular inflammation, cardiovascular disease, psoriatic arthritis, and fibrosis. Conclusion This bibliometric analysis elucidates research domain of psoriasis and MetS, portraying present hotspots and future emerging trends. This field has generated significant interest and displays potential for further growth. The United States has made distinguished contributions, and currently dominates this field.

Abstract
Psoriasis is an immune-mediated inflammatory disease associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The risk of CVD increases with the severity of psoriasis, and exposure to systemic inflammation may partly explain the increased risk of CVD in these patients. This raises the question of whether anti-psoriatic treatment, in addition to treating the skin lesions, also lowers the risk of developing CVD. Different types of studies have examined the impact of systemic anti-psoriatic treatments on the risk of CVD in patients with psoriasis and epidemiological observational studies with, e.g., myocardial infarction and stroke as outcomes, and clinical studies investigating circulating inflammatory biomarkers in the blood indicate that anti-psoriatic therapy has a protective effect; however, no randomized controlled trial (RCT) has examined the impact of systemic anti-psoriatic treatment on future hard cardiovascular endpoints. This narrative review provides an overview of the clinical cardiovascular imaging studies examining the effect of systemic anti-psoriatic treatment on the risk of subclinical CVD in patients with psoriasis. We found a total of 24 clinical imaging studies, where 16 of these were observational cohort studies and eight were RCTs. The observational studies suggest an improvement in the risk of subclinical CVD based on different cardiovascular imaging biomarkers; however, the RCTs showed inconsistent results and mainly included vascular inflammation as the outcome. Future RCTs including other imaging biomarkers as surrogates for subclinical CVD, with longer follow-up and with hard cardiovascular endpoints are warranted to address whether systemic anti-psoriatic treatments reduce the risk of CVD.

Abstract
The effectiveness and safety of biological agents for treating psoriasis have been confirmed; however, their effects on glucose metabolism biomarkers in psoriasis patients remain unclear. A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed according to PRISMA guidelines. The final analysis enrolled 12 studies, including eight randomized controlled trial (RCT) (n = 5628 patients) and four observational cohort studies (OBSs) (n = 393 patients). The meta-analysis comprising nine studies (six RCTs and three OBSs) revealed a slight reduction in the levels of HOMA-IR associated with the use of biological therapies in OBS (biological therapies vs. traditional therapies: WMD = -0.2, CI = -0.10 to 0.50, p = 0.02). Although a considerable number of studies were analysed, our review did not show a significant alteration in HOMA-IR levels among patients treated with biological therapies such as IL-17 inhibitors and IL-12/23 inhibitors at weeks 12-16 in RCTs. We also did not observe remarkable alterations in the fasting plasma glucose levels of patients in both OBS and RCT. Additional RCT on a larger scale and duration is required to provide more conclusive evidence regarding the effect of biological agents on glycogen metabolism in psoriasis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A number of new, highly effective biologic drugs for psoriasis have been approved over the past few decades, which raises the question whether psoriasis is still a disease that requires inpatient treatment. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of inpatient data between 2010 and 2019 (the last 10 years prior to the coronavirus disease 2019 [COVID-19] pandemic) from three German dermatology departments at university hospitals (Aachen, Bonn, and Essen). The data collected included age, gender, the primary admission diagnosis, length of stay (LOS), and number of all comorbidities recorded during hospitalization. RESULTS A total of 59,500 patients were admitted to the three dermatological departments in the defined 10-year period. Of these patients, psoriasis (L40.-) was the main diagnosis for 4322 (7.3%). An almost continuous increase was observed in all inpatient dermatological cases, which was as high as 27% in 2016 compared to 2010. For psoriasis patients, the most substantial increase in the number of admissions was reached in 2016 compared to 2010 and was as high as 45%. While there was a statistically significant reduction of the mean LOS for all dermatological inpatient cases from 6.4 ± 6.6 days in 2010 to 5.1 ± 4.6 days in 2019 (p < 0.001), the decrease in 2019 compared to 2010 (from 12.2 ± 5.5 to 8.9 ± 3.3 days) was significantly greater for the inpatient psoriasis patients compared to the inpatient population overall (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Our data show a stable need for inpatient psoriasis facilities in Germany. Further analysis of hospital admissions after the end of the COVID-19 pandemic is needed to understand the ongoing influence of modern systemic treatment options on inpatient psoriasis care in Germany.

Abstract
Skin-related immune disorders are a category of diseases that lead to the dysregulation of the body's immune response due to imbalanced immune regulation. These disorders exhibit diverse clinical manifestations and complicated pathogenesis. The long-term use of corticosteroids, anti-inflammatory drugs, and immunosuppressants as traditional treatment methods for skin-related immune disorders frequently leads to adverse reactions in patients. In addition, the effect of external preparations is not ideal in some cases due to the compacted barrier function of the stratum corneum (SC). Microneedles (MNs) are novel transdermal drug delivery systems that have theapparent advantages ofpenetrating the skin barrier, such as long-term and controlled drug delivery, less systemic exposure, and painless and minimally invasive targeted delivery. These advantages make it a good candidate formulation for the treatment of skin-related immune disorders and a hotspot for research in this field. This paper updates the classification, preparation, evaluation strategies, materials, and related applications of five types of MNs. Specific information, including the mechanical properties, dimensions, stability, and in vitro and in vivo evaluations of MNs in the treatment of skin-related immune disorders, is also discussed. This review provides an overview of the advances and applications of MNs in the effective treatment of skin-related immune disorders and their emerging trends.

Abstract
Psoriasis is an uncontrolled, long-lasting inflammatory dermatosis distinguished by thickened, erythematous, and flaky skin lesions. Massive amounts of inflammatory cytokines are produced when immune system imbalances are driven by genetic and environmental triggers. Vinpocetine (VNP), a man-made analogue of the compound vincamine found in the dwarf periwinkle herb, has robust anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and anti-oxidative effects; alleviates the epidermal penetration of immune cells, such as eosinophils and neutrophils; and abolishes the generation of pro-inflammatory molecules. Objective This study was aimed at exploring the effects of long-term topical VNP, both alone and co-administered with clobetasol propionate, in an imiquimod-induced mouse model of psoriasiform dermatitis. Methods The study protocol consisted of 48 Swiss albino mice, randomly divided into six groups of eight mice each. In group I, petroleum jelly was administered daily for 8 days. In group II, imiquimod was administered topically at 62.5 mg daily for 8 days. In groups III, VI, V, and VI, 0.05% clobetasol propionate, 1% VNP, 3% VNP, and 3% VNP plus 0.05% clobetasol were administered topically for an additional 8 days after the induction, thus resulting in a total trial length of 16 days. Results Topical VNP at various doses alleviated the severity of imiquimod-induced psoriatic lesions-including erythema, silvery-white scaling, and thickening-and reversed the histopathological abnormalities. Moreover, imiquimod-exposed animals treated with VNP showed markedly diminished concentrations of inflammatory biomarkers, including tumour necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-8, IL-17A, IL-23, IL-37, nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), and transforming growth factor-β1. Conclusion This research provides new evidence that VNP, alone and in combination with clobetasol, may serve as a potential adjuvant for long-term management of autoimmune and autoinflammatory skin diseases, particularly psoriasis, by attenuating psoriatic lesion severity, suppressing cytokine generation, and limiting NF-κB-mediated inflammation.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory cutaneous condition characterized by several comorbidities, including musculoskeletal disorders. While the association with psoriatic arthritis has been widely addressed in literature, the aim of the present systematic review was to identify all available evidence on the relationship between psoriasis and fibromyalgia, a musculoskeletal syndrome primarily characterized by chronic widespread pain. We followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, and MedLine and Web of Science (WOS) databases were searched for literature up to March 2023. After the removal of duplicate records, a total of 11 articles were deemed eligible for inclusion in a qualitative synthesis. Our results suggested that psoriatic patients had a higher prevalence of fibromyalgia (8-30%), with a very high impact on symptoms of psoriasis. Moreover, fibromyalgic patients had a slightly increased prevalence of psoriasis (2.2-6.7%) compared to the control groups. Finally, several studies demonstrated the substantial impact of fibromyalgia on psoriatic outcome measures in patients with concomitant psoriatic arthritis. In conclusion, available data support a potential interplay between psoriasis and fibromyalgia, but further research is encouraged in this area.

Abstract
Psoriasis is associated with cardiometabolic comorbidities, including obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidaemia and hypertension. Many studies that established these associations originated from primarily White and/or relatively affluent populations. To evaluate whether there is a differential risk for cardiometabolic comorbidities in racial/ethnic minorities, we performed a cross-sectional analysis comparing cardiometabolic comorbidities between those with and without psoriasis in a racially and ethnically diverse population of 56 987 low-income patients, stratified by race/ethnicity, and assessed whether race/ethnicity acts as an effect modifier for cardiometabolic comorbidities. We found that psoriasis was statistically significantly associated with obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidaemia and hypertension. The association of psoriasis with comorbidities did not differ significantly by race/ethnicity; thus, we did not find evidence of effect modification. However, our diverse, low-income population had an extremely high baseline prevalence of cardiometabolic comorbidities compared with previous populations studied. Our results suggest education and intervention regarding modifiable risk factors are particularly important among vulnerable populations.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory disease affecting the skin and other systems. Gastrointestinal disease was found to be correlated with psoriasis in previous studies and it can significantly affect the quality of life of psoriasis patients. Despite the importance of the gut microbiome in gut and skin health having already been demonstrated in many research studies, the potential effect of probiotics on GI comorbidities in psoriasis patients is unclear. To investigate the effects of probiotics on functional GI comorbidities including irritable bowel syndrome, functional constipation, and functional diarrhea in psoriasis patients, we conducted a targeted 16S rRNA sequencing and comprehensive bioinformatic analysis among southern Chinese patients to compare the gut microbiome profiles of 45 psoriasis patients over an 8-week course of novel oral probiotics. All the participants were stratified into responders and non-responders according to their improvement in GI comorbidities, which were based on their Bristol Stool Form Scale (BSFS) scores after intervention. The Dermatological Life Quality Index (DLQI) score revealed a significant improvement in quality of life within the responder group (DLQI: mean 10.4 at week 0 vs. mean 15.9 at week 8, p = 0.0366). The proportion of psoriasis patients without GI comorbidity manifestation at week 8 was significantly higher than that at week 0 (week 0: Normal 53.33%, Constipation/Diarrhea 46.67%; week 8: Normal 75.56%, Constipation/Diarrhea 24.44%, p = 0.0467). In addition, a significant difference in the gut microbiome composition between the responders and non-responders was observed according to alpha and beta diversities. Differential abundance analysis revealed that the psoriasis patients exhibited (1) an elevated relative abundance of Lactobacillus acidophilus, Parabacteroides distasonis, and Ruminococcus bromii and (2) a reduced relative abundance of Oscillibacter, Bacteroides vulgatus, Escherichia sp., and Biophila wadsworthia after the 8-week intervention. The responders also exhibited a higher relative abundance of Fusicatenibacter saccharivorans when compared to the non-responders. In summary, our study discovers the potential clinical improvement effects of the novel probiotic formula in improving GI comorbidities and quality of life in psoriasis patients. We also revealed the different gut microbiome composition as well as the gut microbial signatures in the patients who responded to probiotics. These findings could provide insight into the use of probiotics in the management of psoriasis symptoms.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION As research on the role of the Th17/IL-23 pathway gains importance, the relationship between atopic dermatitis (AD) and psoriasis is becoming elucidated. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study wasto evaluate whether AD and its severity affect the risk for psoriasis. METHODS This retrospective population-based study used the database from the 2009 National Health Insurance Services-Health Screening Cohort in Korea. A total of 3,957,922 adult subjects were included and observed until 2018. The primary outcome was newly diagnosed psoriasis. RESULTS After adjusting for possible confounding factors, the moderate-to-severe AD group had the highest hazard ratio (HR) for psoriasis (HR = 2.50; 95% confidence interval (CI), 2.40-2.61), followed by the mild AD group (HR = 2.31; 95% CI: 2.19-2.44) compared with the non-AD group during a median 8.11 ± 1.19 years of follow-up. LIMITATIONS It is difficult to define AD, which is not standardized, using a claims database and exclude patients who were misdiagnosed with AD. CONCLUSION Patients with severe AD showed an increased risk for psoriasis compared to controls, and the risk for psoriasis was increased according to AD severity. This suggests that psoriasis and AD could share inflammatory, immune, and genetic features.

Drakos A, Torres T, Vender R. Emerging Oral Therapies for the Treatment of Psoriasis: A Review of Pipeline Agents. Pharmaceutics 2024; 16:111. [PMID: 38258121 PMCID: PMC10819460 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics16010111] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2023] [Revised: 12/19/2023] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
The introduction of biologic agents for the treatment of psoriasis has revolutionized the current treatment landscape, targeting cytokines in the interleukin (IL)-23/IL-17 pathway and demonstrating strong efficacy and safety profiles in clinical trials. These agents however are costly, are associated with a risk of immunogenicity, and require administration by intravenous or subcutaneous injection, limiting their use among patients. Oral therapies, specifically small molecule and microbiome therapeutics, have the potential to be more convenient and cost-effective agents for patients and have been a focus of development in recent years, with few targeted oral medications available for the disease. In this manuscript, we review pipeline oral therapies for psoriasis identified through a search of ClinicalTrials.gov (30 June 2022-1 October 2023). Available preclinical and clinical trial data on each therapeutic agent are discussed. Small molecules under development include tumor necrosis factor inhibitors, IL-23 inhibitors, IL-17 inhibitors, phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitors, Janus kinase inhibitors, A3 adenosine receptor agonists, and sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 agonists, several of which are entering phase III trials. Oral microbials have also demonstrated success in early phase studies. As new oral therapies emerge for the treatment of psoriasis, real-world data and comparative trials are needed to better inform their use among patients.

Curr Issues Mol Biol 2024; 46:663-676. [PMID: 38248345 PMCID: PMC10814322 DOI: 10.3390/cimb46010043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2023] [Revised: 01/04/2024] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 01/23/2024] Open
Abstract
This manuscript explores the role of pyroptosis, an inflammatory programmed cell death, in the pathogenesis of two chronic dermatoses, psoriasis and hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). The diseases, though clinically diverse, share common pathogenetic pathways involving the unbalanced interaction between the adaptive and innate immune systems. This review focuses on the molecular changes in psoriatic and HS skin, emphasizing the activation of dendritic cells, secretion of interleukins (IL-17, IL-22, and TNF-α), and the involvement of inflammasomes, particularly NLRP3. This manuscript discusses the role of caspases, especially caspase-1, in driving pyroptosis and highlights the family of gasdermins (GSDMs) as key players in the formation of pores leading to cell rupture and the release of proinflammatory signals. This study delves into the potential therapeutic implications of targeting pyroptosis in psoriasis and HS, examining existing medications like biologics and Janus kinase inhibitors. It also reviews the current limitations and challenges in developing therapies that selectively target pyroptosis. Additionally, the manuscript explores the role of pyroptosis in various inflammatory disorders associated with psoriasis and HS, such as inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular disorders. The review concludes by emphasizing the need for further research to fully elucidate the pathomechanisms of these dermatoses and develop effective, targeted therapies.

Abstract
Objective Cardiometabolic risk factors have been shown to decrease biologic efficacy in patients treated for inflammatory conditions. The purpose of this systematic review is to provide a qualitative evaluation of studies investigating biologic response among psoriasis patients with cardiometabolic comorbidities. Methods A comprehensive review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Guidelines for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines to screen for studies including patients with cardiometabolic risk factors receiving biologic therapy for psoriasis. Studies not including a Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score to evaluate treatment outcomes were not included. All studies underwent quality/bias analysis using the Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies (MINORS) scale. Results Obesity and Body Mass Index (BMI) were the most studied cardiometabolic risk factors. The majority of the studies reported a lower frequency of achieving PASI75 and PASI90 response with increasing BMI/obesity rates. Diabetes and hypertension showed similar findings but were not studied as frequently. Hyperlipidemia and other lipid disorders were less frequently studied. Conclusion Relationships between cardiometabolic risk factors and lower frequencies of achieving PASI75/90 exist in current literature. This qualitative systematic review reports evidence of lower PASI75 and PASI90 response rates in the presence of cardiometabolic risk factors.

Abstract
Psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), atopic dermatitis (AD), and chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), are common, immune-mediated, chronic, inflammatory skin diseases that can affect the pediatric population. While there is adequate evidence supporting the use of biologics in pediatric patients, concerns regarding safety and efficacy amongst healthcare providers are not uncommon. However, new emerging evidence in this population highlights the safety of biologic therapy, making it crucial to review and establish a practical guide for their use. This article describes a methodological framework for initiating biologics in the management of pediatric psoriasis, HS, AD, and CSU, with a special focus on baseline work-up, monitoring, dosing, and considerations in this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although a growing number of observational studies suggest that angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) intake may be a risk factor for psoriasis, evidence is still insufficient to draw definitive conclusions. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Drug-targeted Mendelian randomization (DTMR) was used to analyze the causality between genetic proxied ACEIs and psoriasis. Furthermore, we performed a disproportionality analysis based on the FDA adverse event reporting system (FAERS) database to identify more suspicious subclasses of ACEIs. RESULTS Using two kinds of genetic proxy instruments, the present DTMR research identified genetic proxied ACEIs as risk factors for psoriasis. Furthermore, our disproportionality analysis revealed that ramipril, trandolapril, perindopril, lisinopril, and enalapril were associated with the risk of psoriasis, which validates and refines the findings of the DTMR. CONCLUSIONS Our integrative study verified that ACEIs, especially ramipril, trandolapril, perindopril, lisinopril, and enalapril, tended to increase the risk of psoriasis statistically.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are few studies dedicated to the characterization of the geriatric population with psoriasis, which has particularities in terms of clinical manifestations and therapeutic limitations. As psoriasis is a chronic disease, presenting a higher prevalence with age, the increase in life expectancy in Brazil demands knowledge about the behavior of the disease among the elderly. OBJECTIVES To characterize elderly people with psoriasis from a tertiary service, from the clinical-epidemiological point of view, presence of comorbidities, physical frailty, and affective impact, and to compare these aspects with adults with psoriasis and elderly people without the disease. METHODS Cross-sectional study of 64 elderly patients with psoriasis, 64 adults with psoriasis, and 64 elderly patients without the disease. Clinical-demographic aspects, the Beck depression scale, and Skindex-16 were evaluated. Indicators of physical frailty were evaluated in elderly patients: handgrip, sit-to-stand test, fatigue, and weight loss >5%. RESULTS In the elderly, the mean age (SD) of psoriasis onset was 44 (10) years, men represented 47% of the sample, the prevalence of arthritis was 22%, and ungual involvement occurred in 72%. Topical corticosteroids were used more often among elderly people with psoriasis (100%) than among adults with the disease (86%), with no difference among other systemic treatments. Diabetes mellitus occurred in 30% of the elderly. Hypertension (59%), dyslipidemia (52%), depression (34%), and fatigue (59%) were more prevalent among the elderly with psoriasis than among the healthy controls. STUDY LIMITATIONS The study was carried out in a public reference service for patients with psoriasis, all of which were undergoing treatment. CONCLUSIONS Elderly people with psoriasis from a tertiary service showed greater affective impairment, metabolic comorbidities, and physical frailty than elderly controls.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The risk of developing cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) in patients using psoriasis biologics has not been well characterized. The goals of this review were to investigate the incidence of CTCL in patients with psoriasis receiving biologic therapy in clinical trials and psoriasis registries, and to review cases of CTCL and biologic use reported in scientific publications. METHODS The US National Library of Medicine clinical trials database (clinicaltrials.gov) was queried to identify phase 3 and 4 clinical trials of the 12 biologic agents currently FDA approved for psoriatic disease. The incidence of CTCL in these trials was examined and summarized. To examine the incidence of CTCL in psoriasis registries, a Medline search was conducted. Finally, we performed a systematic review of CTCL cases reported in the literature. RESULTS Only two cases of CTCL were reported in 35,801 subjects with psoriasis receiving a biologic agent in the active arm of 108 psoriasis phase 3 clinical trials. One of these CTCL cases was determined by the investigator to be CTCL misdiagnosed as psoriasis prior to randomization. No cases of CTCL were reported in 5440 subjects with psoriasis in 34 phase 4 clinical trials. Only one case of CTCL was identified in 34,111 registry subjects. In the literature, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors had the highest number of reported cases of CTCL (34 cases), followed by interleukin (IL)-17 inhibitors (7 cases), and IL-12/23 inhibitors (6 cases). No cases of CTCL were found to be reported with IL-23 inhibitors. CONCLUSION Our findings indicate that the development of CTCL is rare in the setting of psoriasis biologic use. Of the limited number of cases of CTCL found, most were in the setting of TNF inhibitor use and no cases of CTCL were reported in the setting of IL-23 inhibitor use.

Drug survival of biologics and non-biologics in patients affected by palmoplantar psoriasis: a "real-world", mono-center experience. Int J Dermatol 2024; 63:51-58.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data on the treatment of palmoplantar psoriasis (PP) are very limited as these patients are often excluded from clinical trials. Moreover, this form of psoriasis is often resistant to treatment, making its clinical management complex. METHODS Primary endpoint was to evaluate the clinical and demographic characteristics and the drug survival of both biological and non-biological drugs in a population affected by PP. Secondary endpoint was to highlight any differences between the hyperkeratotic and pustular variant. We analyzed data from 233 psoriasis patients with palmoplantar involvement, with or without chronic plaque psoriasis. We performed a drug-survival analysis with the aid of Kaplan-Meier survival and a multivariate analysis to highlight the influence of certain variables on treatment persistence using a Cox regression model. RESULTS The drug-survival analysis revealed that biologic drugs compared to non-biologic drugs are associated with a higher persistence in treatment (59.73 vs. 43.56%); in particular, anti-IL23 drugs were found to be the drugs with the best drug-survival overall (67.94% of patients at 60 months are still on these drugs). Furthermore, our multivariate analysis shows that when compared with biological drugs, non-biological drugs are associated with an increased risk of treatment discontinuation (HR = 1.95 [95% CI: 1.41-2.68], P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Our study confirms the difficulty of treating PP and shows that biologic drugs are associated with longer persistence in treatment than non-biologics in both PP's variants, not because of their higher effectiveness but because of their better safety profile.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis is an immune-mediated chronic inflammatory skin disease. Great progress has been made in the pathogenesis of psoriasis in recent years, but there is no bibliometric study on the pathogenesis of psoriasis. The purpose of this study was to use bibliometrics method to analyze the research overview and hot spots of pathogenesis of psoriasis in recent 10 years, so as to further understand the development trend and frontier of this field. METHODS The core literatures on the pathogenesis of psoriasis were searched in the Web of Science database, and analyzed by VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and Bibliometrix in terms of the annual publication volume, country, institution, author, journal, keywords, and so on. RESULTS A total of 3570 literatures were included. China and the United States were the main research countries in this field, and Rockefeller University was the main research institution. Krueger JG, the author, had the highest number of publications and the greatest influence, and Boehncke (2015) was the most cited local literature. J INVEST DERMATOL takes the top spot in terms of the number of Dermatol articles and citation frequency. The main research hotspots in the pathogenesis of psoriasis are as follows: (1) The interaction between innate and adaptive immunity and the related inflammatory loop dominated by Th17 cells and IL-23/IL-17 axis are still the key mechanisms of psoriasis; (2) molecular genetic studies represented by Long Non-Coding RNA (LncRNA); (3) integrated research of multi-omics techniques represented by gut microbiota; and (4) Exploring the comorbidity mechanism of psoriasis represented by Metabolic Syndrome (MetS). CONCLUSION This study is a summary of the current research status and hot trend of the pathogenesis of psoriasis, which will provide some reference for the scholars studying the pathogenesis of psoriasis.

Abstract
Introduction Exosomes play a key role in cell communication and are involved in both pathological and physiological processes. Autophagy dysfunction and oxidative stress are linked to immune-mediated inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis. Stem cell-derived exosomes exhibit immunomodulatory and antioxidant efficacy. Methods We aimed to investigate the impact of psoriasis serum-derived exosomes on inflammation, oxidative stress, and autophagy in keratinocytes. Additionally, we explored the therapeutic potential of adipose-derived stem cell (ADSC) exosomes against inflammation induced by psoriasis serum exosomes. To validate psoriasis patient serum-derived exosomes and ADSC exosomes, we used nanoparticle tracking analysis, Western blotting, flow cytometry, and immunofluorescence. qPCR was used to study changes in the gene expression of proinflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress markers in HaCaT cells treated with psoriasis serum-derived exosomes or ADSC exosomes. The effects of these exosomes on autophagy in HaCaT cells were evaluated by Western blotting and immunofluorescence. Result The treatment of HaCaT cells with psoriasis serum-derived exosomes increased proinflammatory cytokine production and oxidative stress-related factor (Nox2 and Nox4) expression and decreased Nrf2 expression via P65/NF-κB and P38/MAPK activation. Compared with healthy control serum-derived exosomes, psoriasis serum-derived exosomes decreased ATG5, P62, Beclin1, and LC3 expression and autophagosome production in HaCaT cells. Conversely, ADSC exosomes suppressed proinflammatory cytokine and oxidative stress production, and restored autophagy in HaCaT cells treated with psoriasis serum-derived exosomes. Discussion These findings suggest that ADSC exosomes exhibit a suppressive effect on psoriasis serum exosome-induced inflammation and oxidative stress by regulating autophagy in keratinocytes.

Kulakli S, Oguz ID, Aksan B. Could Blood Cell-Based Inflammatory Markers Be Used to Monitor Response to Biologic Therapy in Psoriasis? SISLI ETFAL HASTANESI TIP BULTENI 2023; 57:536-542. [PMID: 38268655 PMCID: PMC10805057 DOI: 10.14744/semb.2023.43569] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2023] [Revised: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2024]
Abstract
Objectives Despite extensive research, there is currently no specific biomarker that reliably and universally indicates treatment response in psoriasis. Multiple studies have evaluated systemic inflammation markers, including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), and systemic immune response index (SIRI) in psoriasis patients. However, there are limited studies investigating changes in these markers with biologic therapy. The goal of this study was to investigate the impact of biologic therapy on parameters including NLR, PLR, MLR, SII, and SIRI in patients with psoriasis. Methods In this cohort study, we retrospectively evaluated 108 psoriasis patients who were on biological treatment, including interleukin (IL)17, IL23, and IL12/23 inhibitors, for a minimum of 12 weeks. We analyzed Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) scores, complete blood count parameters, and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels both before and after 12 weeks of treatment. Results The NLR, PLR, MLR, SII, SIRI, and CRP values all demonstrated a significant decrease, regardless of the specific type of biologic agent (p=0.001, 0.007, 0.011, <0.001, <0.001 and <0.001, respectively). Furthermore, we observed a statistically significant but low correlation between the reduction in PASI scores and PLR, SII, and SIRI values (p=0.036, r=0.202; p=0.042, r=0.196; p=0.023, r=0.219, respectively). Conclusion The NLR, MLR, especially PLR, SII, and SIRI might be used as simple, convenient, and inexpensive laboratory markers to monitor the degree of inflammation and response to treatment after biologic therapy in daily practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the association between the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and psoriasis. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2011-2014. PARTICIPANTS A subsample of 8387 individuals aged 18 years and older were screened for inclusion, of whom 238 reported a diagnosis of psoriasis. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES Psoriasis and the severity of psoriasis were defined according to participants' self-reports. Weighted logistic regression, subgroup and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analyses were conducted to estimate the potential relationship of the NLR with psoriasis. RESULTS In the fully adjusted models, the fourth quartile of the NLR was significantly and positively associated with the presence of psoriasis using the first quartile as a reference (OR: 2.22, 95% CI: 1.27 to 3.87, p=0.01). Elevated NLR was associated with an increased odds of having more severe psoriasis for the highest quartile (vs the lowest quartile), with an OR of 2.43 (95% CI: 1.10 to 5.36, p=0.003). The association between the NLR and psoriasis differed across prespecified subgroups by age, sex, race, income and education. A non-linear correlation of the NLR with psoriasis was observed using univariable and multivariable RCS (all p for non-linearity <0.05). CONCLUSIONS The NLR was non-linearly and positively correlated with the presence of psoriasis, and our findings suggest a significant association between the NLR and the severity of psoriasis. The potential role and value in the clinical diagnosis and prognostic assessment of the NLR in psoriasis calls for further longitudinal studies.

ZEITSCHRIFT FUR EVIDENZ, FORTBILDUNG UND QUALITAT IM GESUNDHEITSWESEN 2023; 182-183:1-7. [PMID: 37977896 DOI: 10.1016/j.zefq.2023.10.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2023] [Revised: 09/25/2023] [Accepted: 10/06/2023] [Indexed: 11/19/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory disorder with a physical and psychosocial burden. Recent epidemiological data on paediatric psoriasis in Germany is lacking. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence, the incidence and associated epidemiological features of paediatric psoriasis in Germany using health claims data from a national health claims database. METHODS Continuously insured patients with paediatric psoriasis (2014-2017) from the Institute of Applied Health Research Berlin (InGef) database were included in this analysis. Between 2014 and 2017, we analysed the prevalence and incidence of paediatric psoriasis (aged ≤17 years), relevant comorbidities, the most frequently attended and diagnosing medical specialties, and the number of systemic treatment prescriptions. RESULTS Overall, psoriasis prevalence (0.15-0.16%) and incidence (0.06-0.07%) remained stable between 2014 and 2017; both prevalence and incidence were higher in female patients. Psoriasis prevalence gradually increased with age between the age groups <6 years and 16-17 years. Obesity (11.5%) and somatoform disorders (7.0%) were the most common comorbidities identified. Overall, 90.4% of the psoriasis cases were diagnosed by either a dermatologist (50.9%), general practitioner (27.8%), or paediatrician (11.7%). Patients most frequently attended general practitioners (74.5%), dermatologists (57.9%) and paediatricians (56.5%). The use of systemic treatment(s) increased from 4.7% to 5.4% between 2014 and 2017. DISCUSSION The prevalence and incidence of paediatric psoriasis in Germany remained stable between 2014 and 2017, with a higher prevalence and incidence observed in females and older adolescents. Obesity and somatoform disorders were the most common comorbidities. General practitioners, dermatologists, and paediatricians were most often involved in the treatment of patients, highlighting the need for interdisciplinary management of paediatric psoriasis.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF THE ARTICLE Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated, skin disease with a significantly negative impact on patients' quality of life. Moderate-to-severe disease often requires systemic therapies and currently available ones still have numerous disadvantages or limitations. Tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) mediates immune signaling of IL-12, IL-23, and type I interferons, without interfering with other critical systemic functions. This article aims to review the current knowledge on deucravacitinib, a new oral drug which selectively inhibits TYK2, granting it a low risk of off-target effects. MATERIALS AND METHODS A review of the published literature was conducted using the PubMed database, published abstracts and virtual presentations from scientific meetings, data from industry press releases, and results published on ClinicalTrials.gov regarding the deucravacitinib for the treatment of psoriasis. Manuscripts with trial results, case series, clinical trial data from ClinicalTrials.gov, and articles highlighting expert perspectives on the topic of the article were selected. RESULTS Two phase 3, 52-week trials evaluated deucravacitinib 6 mg against placebo and apremilast - POETYK PSO-1 and PSO-2, enrolling 1688 patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis. At week 16, over 50% of patients treated with deucravacitinib reached PASI75, significantly superior to placebo and apremilast. Symptomatic improvement was also reported, with greater impact on itch. Deucravacitinib was well tolerated and safe. There were no reports of serious infections, thromboembolic events, or laboratory abnormalities. Persistent efficacy and consistent safety profiles were reported for up to 2 years. CONCLUSIONS Deucravacitinib has the potential to become a safe, effective, and well-tolerated treatment for patients with moderate-to-severe disease. Future studies will be important to determine the exact role of this drug in the treatment of psoriasis.
