Abstract
The term 'sclerosing diseases of the skin' comprises specific dermatological entities, which have fibrotic changes of the skin in common. These diseases mostly manifest in different clinical subtypes according to cutaneous and extracutaneous involvement and can sometimes be difficult to distinguish from each other. The present consensus provides an update to the 2017 European Dermatology Forum Guidelines, focusing on characteristic clinical and histopathological features, diagnostic scores and the serum autoantibodies most useful for differential diagnosis. In addition, updated strategies for the first- and advanced-line therapy of sclerosing skin diseases are addressed in detail. Part 2 of this consensus provides clinicians with an overview of the diagnosis and treatment of scleromyxoedema and scleroedema (of Buschke).

REUMATOLOGIA CLINICA 2023; 19:235-243.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVRD) is a systemic immune-mediated complication that occurs in approximately half of the patients undergoing allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) and, although it is associated with beneficial graft versus tumour effects and lower relapse rates, it remains the leading cause of late morbidity and mortality in these patients. The aim of this systematic review of the literature is to provide a current overview on the diagnostic musculoskeletal manifestations of cGVRD, its clinical evaluation, and therapeutic possibilities. METHODS We ran a systematic search in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library. Studies from the last 20 years were included. Priority was given to cross-sectional studies to evaluate diagnostic methods and to clinical trials in the case of articles referring to treatment. The search was limited to humans and articles published in English or Spanish. RESULTS We identified 6423 studies, of which we selected 86 (37 on clinical and diagnostic evaluation and 49 on treatments). Specific studies on fascial and joint complications are scarce and of low quality, including only isolated clinical cases or case series. Fasciitis is the most relevant musculoskeletal manifestation, and isolated joint involvement is low, sometimes unnoticed and underdiagnosed, if a thorough exploration of joint motion is not performed. Early detection of cGVRD with fascial and/or joint involvement requires careful and repeated evaluation. CONCLUSIONS The search for new biomarkers or advanced imaging techniques that allow early diagnosis is necessary. Physiotherapy is essential to improve functionality and prevent disease progression. Controlled studies are needed to establish recommendations on second lines of treatment. Because of its multisystemic nature, cGVRD requires a multidisciplinary approach.

Abstract
A light-inspired hydroxyapatite (Hap)/nitrogen-doped carbon dots (NCDs) modified graphene oxide (GO) heterojunction film is developed, which shows a promoted separation of interfacial electrons and holes and an inhibited recombination efficiency via hole depletion. The metabolism of bacteria on this film is significantly inhibited under light irradiation, due to the enhanced photocatalytic and photothermal effects. In addition, the electron transfer from the plasmonic membrane to the GO/NCD/Hap film further inhibits the adenosine triphosphate process of bacteria, thus leading to the synergetic antibacterial efficacy. Meanwhile, the electron transfer between film and cell membrane induces the Ca2+ flow after irradiation, which can promote the migration and proliferation of cells and alkaline phosphatase enhancement, thus favoring the tissue reconstruction. An in vivo test discloses that the vascular injury repair is achieved through the Ca2+-activated PLCγ1/ERK pathway, identified by the enhanced CD31 expression. Moreover, the increased CD4+/CD8+ lymphocytes are ameliorative by activating the PI3K/P-AKT pathway. Consequently, the electron transfer boosts the synergic photodynamic and photothermal therapeutic effects for bacterial infection by Ca2+ flow for immunotherapy. This mild phototherapy approach with GO/NCDs/Hap, which can simultaneously repair injured vessels and relieve inflammation reactions, will increase the clinical application of noninvasive phototherapy in the near future.

Abstract
Scleromyxedema is a rare disorder that frequently affects multiple extracutaneous organ systems and is usually associated with monoclonal gammopathy. The pathogenesis of scleromyxedema is unknown. The clinical course is chronic and progressive and can lead to marked morbidity or death. The skin findings consist of multiple waxy papules and indurated plaques. Progressive skin involvement can lead to decreased mobility of the mouth and joints. Extracutaneous manifestations occur in the musculoskeletal or cardiovascular system, in the gastrointestinal or respiratory tract, or in the kidneys. There are no approved or evidence-based treatment options available for scleromyxedema. High-dose immunoglobulins are considered the treatment of choice, followed by lenalidomide (or thalidomide) and systemic glucocorticosteroids, or in severe cases even autologous hematopoetic stem cell transplantation. Long-term maintenance treatment is usually required and close clinical follow-up is necessary as recurrence of scleromyxedema is common after withdrawal of an effective therapy.

Abstract
Die heilsame Wirkung des Sonnenlichts war teilweise schon im Altertum bekannt und fand in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts wieder zunehmend Beachtung. Den Beginn der modernen Phototherapien markiert die Entwicklung einer Apparatur zur ultravioletten Bestrahlung der Hauttuberkulose durch Finnsen zu Beginn des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts. Zur Therapie von Hauterkrankungen finden beinahe ausschließlich die spektralen Bereiche unterhalb des sichtbaren Lichtes (ultraviolett) Anwendung. Seit den 1970er Jahren stehen zunehmend leistungsfähige künstliche Strahlenquellen bereit für die Therapie mit UVB, UVA und die Kombination von UVA mit Photosensibilisatoren (Photochemotherapie). Hohe strukturelle und prozedurale Qualitätsstandards sind unabdingbare Voraussetzung für die Durchführung einer gleichermaßen wirkungsvollen wie auch sicheren Phototherapie. Die Leitlinie formuliert den aktuellen Konsens führender Experten auf dem Gebiet der Phototherapie in Bezug auf die Indikationen für die jeweiligen Therapieverfahren, deren Gegenanzeigen und Nebenwirkungen und insbesondere für die Wahl der korrekten Dosis zu Beginn und im Verlauf einer Therapie sowie das Management von Nebenwirkungen.

Abstract
Phototherapy is an effective treatment strategy for a variety of sclerosing skin conditions. There are a number of phototherapeutic modalities used for the treatment of sclerosing skin conditions, including ultraviolet (UV)A1, broadband UVA, psoralen plus UVA, and narrowband UVB phototherapy. As controlled trials with validated outcome measures are lacking for these therapies, existing evidence is largely level II for morphea and is even more minimal for scleroderma and other sclerosing disorders (scleroderma, lichen sclerosus, and chronic graft-versus-host disease, among others). Studies do suggest that phototherapy may be effective for many of these disorders, including those that have been unresponsive to other therapies. Phototherapy remains an attractive therapeutic option for patients due to its efficacy and favorable risk-versus-benefit profile. Phototherapy also offers a therapeutic alternative to systemic immunosuppressives for patients who cannot tolerate these medications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Scleroderma is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by progressive connective tissue sclerosis and microcirculatory changes. Localized scleroderma is considered a limited disease. However, in some cases atrophic and deforming lesions may be observed that hinder the normal development. Literature reports indicate phototherapy as a therapeutic modality with favorable response in cutaneous forms of scleroderma. OBJECTIVES This study had the purpose of assessing the phototherapy treatment for localized scleroderma. METHODS Patients with localized scleroderma were selected for phototherapy treatment. They were classified according to the type of localized scleroderma and evolutive stage of the lesions. Clinical examination and skin ultrasound were used to demonstrate the results thus obtained. RESULTS Some clinical improvement was observed after an average of 10 phototherapeutic sessions. All skin lesions were softer at clinical palpation with scores reduction upon pre and post treatment comparison. The ultrasound showed that most of the assessed lesions presented a decrease in dermal thickness, and only five maintained their previous measure. Treatment response was similar regardless of the type of phototherapeutic treatment employed. CONCLUSIONS The proposed treatment was effective for all lesions, regardless of the phototherapeutic modality employed. The improvement was observed in all treated skin lesions and confirmed by clinical evaluation and skin ultrasound.

Abstract
Scleredema is a rare condition of unknown pathogenesis. It is classically divided into three types, based on its association with postinfection (usually streptococcal), monoclonal gammopathy and diabetes mellitus (scleredema diabeticorum). Scleredema diabeticorum often has a subtle onset, persistent involvement and is refractory to therapies. Numerous therapies have been tried, with mixed and inconsistent results. We report herein a case of scleredema diabeticorum that was successfully treated by combining local PUVA with colchicine.

Scleredema diabeticorum in a patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Case Rep Endocrinol 2011; 2011:560273.

Abstract
Background. Scleredema adultorum, a connective tissue
disorder of unknown aetiology, is characterized by a thickening of the
reticular dermis in the upper back of the body that may decrease the
mobility of the affected tissues. It has been reported in diabetic
patients with poor metabolic control. Therapeutic options are limited
with generally poor results. Case Report. 53-year-old
white male with type 2 diabetes mellitus was referred to our
department for evaluation of incipient nephropathy and retinopathy. On
examination, he presented erythematous, indurated, painless and
ill-defined plaque on the skin of the upper back with limited movement
of shoulders. A biopsy was done revealing scleredema. PUVA treatment
and physiotherapy were started with the amelioration of mobility and
acquiring some elasticity of the upper back. Discussion.
The development of scleredema in diabetic patients has been
related to prolonged exposure to chronic hyperglycaemia. Our patient
has had diabetes for 20 years with an acceptable glucose control,
however he developed the scleredema 10 years ago. Conclusions.
Scleredema is a rare connective disorder that seems to appear
most frequently in diabetic subjects. Good metabolic control seems not
to preclude its development. PUVA treatment and physiotherapy are
therapeutic options that seem to be of some help.

Abstract
The patient was a 12-year-old girl with linear scleroderma distributed on the right abdomen, dorsal aspect of the right thigh, lower leg and foot. The initial regimen of oral prednisolone and methotrexate, or i.v. methylprednisolone failed in the treatment of the scleroderma. Then bath psoralen and ultraviolet A therapy (bath-PUVA) therapy of 0.2 J-4.0 J/cm(2) daily to total doses 62.8 J/cm(2) combined with oral prednisolone was started. After bath-PUVA therapy, regression of the skin sclerosis was observed, the possible mobile range of the right ankle was increased and histological examination confirmed improvement of the sclerosis. The successful results of bath-PUVA therapy in this case suggest its utility for localized scleroderma.

Abstract
UVR is an important environmental carcinogen and a powerful modulator of the cutaneous immune system. Exposure to UVR activates many signaling pathways leading to changes in the expression of several hundred genes. While the covalent modification of histones has been shown to play a central role in regulating gene expression, the impact of UVR on histone modifications and the contribution of histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs) to the UVR-induced transcriptional response have not been completely characterized. In this report, we have examined the impact of UVR on histone H3 K9/14 acetylation. The potential role of UVR-induced histone acetylation in the UVR transcriptional response was also explored using the HAT inhibitor curcumin and HDAC inhibitor trichostatin A (TSA). We found that UVR caused an increase in histone H3 acetylation within the promoter regions of ATF3, COX2, IL-8, MKP1 and MnSOD. In most of the regions examined, histone H3 acetylation peaked 24 h after UVR and then returned to baseline levels by 72 h. The induction of ATF3, COX2 and MKP1 was blocked in the presence of curcumin at doses that decrease in vivo histone H3 acetylation but not at lower doses that do not affect acetylation levels. We also provide evidence that for ATF3, a transcriptional superinduction occurs after repeat exposures to UVR that can be recapitulated when the second UVR exposure is replaced with TSA treatment. Thus, UVR can alter histone acetylation within human keratinocytes and these changes may contribute to the UVR-transcriptional response.

Abstract
Chemotherapeutic alkylating agents, such as bifunctional nitrogen mustards and cisplatins, generate interstrand DNA cross-links that inhibit cell proliferation by arresting DNA transcription and replication. A synthetic N4C-ethyl-N4C interstrand cross-link between opposing cytidines mimics the DNA damage produced by this class of clinically important compounds and can be synthesized in large quantities to study the repair, physical properties, and structures of these DNA adducts. The X-ray structure of a DNA duplex d(CCAAC*GTTGG)2 containing a synthetic N4C-ethyl-N4C interstrand cross-link between the cytosines of the central CpG step (*) has been determined at 1.65 A resolution. This structure reveals that the ethyl cross-link in the CpG major groove does not significantly disrupt the B-form DNA helix. Comparison of the N4C-ethyl-N4C cross-linked structure with the structure of an un-cross-linked oligonucleotide of the same sequence reveals that the cross-link selectively stabilizes a preexisting alternative conformation. The conformation preferred by the cross-linked DNA is constrained by the geometry of the ethyl group bridging the cytosine amines. Characteristics of the cross-linked CpG step include subtle differences in the roll of the base pairs, optimized Watson-Crick hydrogen bonds, and loss of a divalent cation binding site. Given that the N4C-ethyl-N4C cross-link stabilizes a preexisting conformation of the CpG step, this synthetically accessible substrate presents an ideal model system for studying the genomic effects of covalently coupling the DNA strands, independent of gross alterations in DNA structure.
