Abstract
Hemangioma (HA), which is characterized by aberrant endothelial cell proliferation in blood vessels, is a common tumor during infancy. MicroRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) collectively participate in the development of HA; however, the potential roles of miR-195-5p in HA are not completely understood. The aim of the present study was to investigate the roles of miR-195-5p in HA. In the present study, miR-195-5p was found to be downregulated in HA cells, such as the XPTS-1 human infantile hemangioma-derived endothelial cell line and the EOMA hemangioendothelioma cell line. Overexpression of miR-195-5p was shown to suppress HA cell viability, colony formation and proliferation, and induced HA cell apoptosis. Furthermore, miR-195-5p downregulated Bcl-2 expression and upregulated Bax and Bcl-2 expression levels. V-ski sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (SKI) was identified as a target of miR-195-5p. Co-transfection of miR-195-5p mimics and SKI 3'-untranslated region wild-type decreased HA cell luciferase activity. SKI overexpression alleviated the miR-195-5p-induced decrease in HA cell proliferation and increased HA cell apoptosis. In addition, the regulatory role of miR-195-5p on the expression of Bcl-2, Bax and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase was reversed by SKI. Collectively, the results of the present study demonstrated that miR-195-5p suppressed HA progression and its effects were mediated via SKI. Therefore, the miR-195-5p/SKI axis may represent a novel therapeutic target for HA.

Abstract
Importance Recognizing segmental infantile hemangioma (IH) patterns is important for risk stratification and provides clues to pathogenesis. Previously, segmental hemangiomas were mapped to 4 facial regions, 3 corresponding to known facial metameres. Objectives To refine existing maps of facial segmental IHs, examine so-called indeterminate hemangiomas as they relate to known segmental patterns, and define a novel pattern of segmental scalp hemangiomas. Design, Setting, and Participants This retrospective cohort study was conducted at 4 pediatric dermatology centers (University of California, San Francisco; Indiana University; Medical College of Wisconsin; and Northwestern University/Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago) using photographic archives of patients younger than 12 years with segmental and indeterminate hemangiomas on the face and scalp. Clinical images were used to map hemangioma distribution onto standardized facial templates. Heat map densiometry identified recurrent patterns that were compared with previously published patterns of facial segmental hemangiomas. Patterns of indeterminate hemangiomas were compared with those of segmental hemangiomas. Data collection took place in 2017, and analysis took place from 2017 to 2019. Main Outcomes and Measures Distribution and patterning of segmental and indeterminate IHs of the face and scalp. Results A total of 549 IHs were mapped. The borders of the frontotemporal (S1) and frontonasal (S4) segments agreed with previous segmental maps; however, the maxillary (S2) and mandibular (S3) segment borders differed with respect to the preauricular skin. In contrast with previous reports, preauricular skin segregated with the mandibular (S3) rather than the maxillary (S2) segment. Indeterminate hemangiomas occurred within and respected the same borders as segmental hemangiomas. Hemangiomas on the lateral scalp commonly occurred in a C shape extending from the posterior auricular region. Conclusions and Relevance This cohort study provides an updated map of facial segmental IHs with redefined maxillary (S2) and mandibular (S3) segment borders. It provides evidence that indeterminate hemangiomas are partial segmental hemangiomas respecting anatomic boundaries of their larger segmental counterparts. A newly recognized C-shaped pattern of segmental scalp hemangioma is reported.

Abstract
A 2-month-old boy developed a protuberant, blue nodule inferomedial to the left medial canthus. It was unresponsive to oral and intramuscular antibiotics. After developing difficulty breathing, he was admitted, with the diagnosis of a dacryocele, and, after an inconclusive ultrasound, underwent probing and irrigation with nasal endoscopy. Intraoperatively, the lesion appeared discontinuous with the nasolacrimal system and could not be decompressed. Postoperative magnetic resonance imaging suggested a hemangioma or possible collapsed dacryocele. Doppler ultrasound confirmed a perinasolacrimal duct hemangioma. Systemic propranolol treatment was initiated.

Abstract
An open, prospective, nonrandomized study of 122 children with infantile hemangiomas aged 1 to 24 months was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of treatment with multiline laser equipment using the Nd:YAP Q-Sw/KTP emitters with the combined use of two wavelengths of 1079/540 nm. The average age of the children was (6.3 ± 0.3) months, 22 of them were boys (18.0%) and 100 were girls (82.0%). An erythometry and ultrasound examination were performed to determine the depth of the neoplasm, to assess its blood flow, and the presence and diameter of the supply vessels. Studies of these indicators were conducted for patients before and after the treatment. Laser treatment was performed on 109 patients with 119 hemangiomas. A total of 81 superficial hemangiomas underwent a short course of laser therapy (2-5 procedures) and remaining patients with 38 combined hemangiomas received a long course of laser treatment, consisting of 6 to 10 procedures. Restoration of normal color, skin relief, and the absence of scars were noted in post-treatment sample on evaluation. After the course of treatment, erythometry readings corresponded to the values of normal skin and decreased to 110 to 80 cu. Ultrasound examination showed vascular formation and feed vessels were not visualized.

Abstract
Hemangiomas (HAs) are benign neoplasms of the vasculature. MicroRNA-4458 (miR-4458) has been reported to function as a tumor suppressor in multiple malignancies, but its biological function in HAs remains unknown. In the present study, the potential role of miR-4458 in HA-derived endothelial cells (HDECs) was investigated. Firstly, reverse-transcription-quantitative PCR analysis was used to confirm the expression of miR-4458 in HDECs following transfection with miR-4458 mimics or inhibitor. Subsequently, MTT and EdU assays were performed and subsequently determined that miR-4458 overexpression significantly inhibited proliferation, and knockdown promoted cell proliferation in HDECs. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that miR-4458 overexpression induced cell cycle arrest, whereas knockdown reversed G0/G1 phase arrest and apoptosis. Furthermore, insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) was identified as a target of miR-4458. IGF1R knockdown enhanced the effects of miR-4458 on cell proliferation, cell cycle G0/G1 phase arrest and apoptosis in HDECs. Taken together, the results revealed that miR-4458 targeting of IGF1R may serve as a novel therapeutic strategy for treating patients with HAs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To identify clinical factors associated with complications of periocular infantile hemangioma (IH) and monitor improvement in complication rates post-treatment. METHODS Retrospective cohort study. Eighty-nine patients diagnosed with periocular IH at a pediatric dermatology clinic of a tertiary care center between 2001 and 2013 were included with parental approval. Parents were interviewed by telephone between July and September of 2015, then again in January 2018 to inquire about ophthalmologic follow-up. Electronic medical records were reviewed from January 2001 through January 2018. RESULTS Sixty percent of patients demonstrated ocular sequelae, including astigmatism (33%), visual axis obstruction (29%), nasolacrimal duct obstruction (7%), ptosis (4%), amblyopia (3%), and strabismus (1%). Compared with superficial IH, deep and mixed IH had higher odds, 3.4 (P = 0.025) and 3.8 (P = 0.034), respectively, of developing ocular sequelae. All patients with astigmatism prior to involution of IH received systemic therapy, with a significant post-treatment decrease in the proportion of patients with astigmatism (40% to 18%, P = 0.027). Three-quarters of patients experienced complete IH involution by time of enrollment in kindergarten. Fifty-one (57.3%) patients received formal ophthalmologic evaluation confirmed through chart review or phone interview, with average follow-up duration of 51.2 months (range: 1.9, 99.3). CONCLUSION Deep and mixed IH were more likely to demonstrate ocular complications than superficial IH. Rate of astigmatism decreased with systemic therapy. Our study suggests that patients with periocular IH have a lower rate of amblyopia now compared with the prepropranolol era and emphasizes the importance of early treatment of periocular IH to prevent permanent visual sequelae.

Abstract
Infantile hemangiomas (IHs) are the most common benign tumor of infancy. As our understanding of their pathobiology has evolved, treatment has become more focused and tailored to specifically treat IH while minimizing adverse effects. Propranolol has gained FDA approval as the first medical therapy for a traditionally surgical disease. This review provides readers with an overview of IH, treatment modalities, and addresses specific considerations in IH disease management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Infantile hemangiomas (IHs) involving the conjunctiva are only anecdotally reported in the literature and little is known about their clinical course. In a retrospective case series we aimed to better delineate the clinical presentation, complications, and response to treatment of this uncommon subtype of IH. A classification of conjunctival IH is proposed. METHODS Medical charts at three academic pediatric dermatology institutions were retrospectively analyzed. Data were collected on the clinical characteristics, ophthalmologic findings, treatments, and outcomes of 22 individuals with conjunctival IH. RESULTS Growth characteristics of conjunctival IH closely mirrored those of their cutaneous counterparts. Ophthalmologic abnormalities were associated with the IH in six individuals (27%); in three, they were considered severe. Seventeen subjects (77%) required treatment, most commonly because of risk of ocular compromise. All treated individuals responded favorably to topical timolol or systemic propranolol. CONCLUSION Conjunctival IH have clinical characteristics similar to those of cutaneous IH and respond readily to beta-blocker treatment. Ocular complications may occur in a minority of individuals receiving treatment.

Abstract
Palpebral malformations can be isolated or associated with a craniofacial disorder. Their assessment is based on clinical examination; additional investigations are mainly done to characterize craniofacial syndromes. In case of extrapalpebral lesions or complex craniofacial pathology, genetic testing must be performed. Some isolated malformations will only need a simple follow-up; others must have specific treatment, undertaken following a precise timing, taking into account child and anatomical structures' growth and the possible consequences of the malformation on the eye and child's sight (degree of urgency). When dealing with these malformations, there are two main risks to be taken into consideration: corneal irritation due to lagophtalmos and amblyopia owing to visual axis obstruction, anisometropia or strabismus.

Abstract
Infantile hemangiomas (IH) are the most common benign tumor of infancy, and in the periocular region can be associated with permanent visual impairment from amblyopia. Previous treatment options included systemic and local corticosteroids, surgical excision, laser therapy, and in rare cases immunomodulatory therapy, many of which had variable outcomes with undesirable side effect profiles. Since their initial use for IH in 2008, beta blockers have become the mainstay of therapy for periocular IH due to their excellent clinical efficacy and tolerability. While the exact mechanism of action of beta blockers in IH has not been fully elucidated, both oral and topical therapy have demonstrated low rates of adverse events and improved outcomes in the management of periocular IH. This review summarizes the most recent studies on the clinical outcomes, management, and guidelines for the treatment of periocular IH with topical and oral beta blockers.
