Autophagy: Guardian of Skin Barrier. Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10081817.

Abstract
Autophagy is a major degradation pathway that removes harmful intracellular substances to maintain homeostasis. Various stressors, such as starvation and oxidative stress, upregulate autophagy, and the dysregulation of autophagy is associated with various human diseases, including cancer and skin diseases. The skin is the first defense barrier against external environmental hazards such as invading pathogens, ultraviolet rays, chemical toxins, and heat. Although the skin is exposed to various stressors that can activate autophagy, the roles of autophagy in the skin have not yet been fully elucidated. Accumulating evidence suggests that autophagy is closely associated with pathogenesis and the treatment of immune-related skin diseases. In this study, we review how autophagy interacts with skin cells, including keratinocytes and immune cells, enabling them to successfully perform their protective functions by eliminating pathogens and maintaining skin homeostasis. Furthermore, we discuss the implications of autophagy in immune-related skin diseases, such as alopecia areata, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis, and suggest that a combination of autophagy modulators with conventional therapies may be a better strategy for the treatment of these diseases.

Abstract
Ultrasonography (US) is a modern, in vivo imaging method, which is increasingly being used in dermatology as a complementary tool to clinical examination and dermoscopy. At higher frequencies (15 MHz and above), US is an established method for assessing benign and malignant skin lesions, locoregional staging, monitoring the therapeutic efficacy in various inflammatory skin conditions, and patient follow-up. One field, which may increasingly benefit from performant imaging techniques such as US is dermatologic surgery. Preoperative imaging of cutaneous tumors, inflammatory skin conditions (hidradenitis suppurativa, abscesses, etc.), or nail pathology provide dermatologic surgeons with relevant information for an optimal surgical planning, identifying potential complex aspects which might require interdisciplinary approaches, herein sparing unnecessary surgical interventions and increasing patients' compliance. In this review, we discuss the increasing significance of US in the field of dermatologic surgery, as well as the spectrum of cutaneous pathology where sonography can aid in the preoperative setting to provide a more precise, individualized surgical planning for better counseling to our patients and improved surgical results.

Usefulness of High-Frequency Ultrasonography in the Diagnosis of Melanoma: Mini Review. Front Oncol 2021; 11:673026. [PMID: 34178660 PMCID: PMC8226081 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.673026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2021] [Accepted: 05/17/2021] [Indexed: 01/30/2023] Open
Abstract
High-frequency equipment is characterized by ultrasound probes with frequencies of over 10 MHz. At higher frequencies, the wavelength decreases, which determines a lower penetration of the ultrasound beam so as to offer a better evaluation of the surface structures. This explains the growing interest in ultrasound in dermatology. This review examines the state of the art of high-frequency ultrasound (HFUS) in the assessment of skin cancer to ensure the high clinical approach and provide the best standard of evidence on which to base clinical and policy decisions.

Abstract
Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer and is globally rising. Historically, the diagnosis of skin cancers has depended on various conventional techniques which are of an invasive manner. A variety of commercial diagnostic tools and auxiliary techniques are available to detect skin cancer. This article explains in detail the principles and approaches involved for non-invasive skin cancer diagnostic methods such as photography, dermoscopy, sonography, confocal microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, terahertz spectroscopy, optical coherence tomography, the multispectral imaging technique, thermography, electrical bio-impedance, tape stripping and computer-aided analysis. The characteristics of an ideal screening test are outlined, and the authors pose several points for clinicians and scientists to consider in the evaluation of current and future studies of skin cancer detection and diagnosis. This comprehensive review critically analyses the literature associated with the field and summarises the recent updates along with their merits and demerits.
