Abstract
Introduction Graves' disease (GD) is an autoimmune disorder caused by autoantibodies against the thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) leading to overstimulation of the thyroid gland. Thyroid eye disease (TED) is the most common extra thyroidal manifestation of GD. Therapeutic options to treat TED are very limited and novel treatments need to be developed. In the present study we investigated the effect of linsitinib, a dual small-molecule kinase inhibitor of the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) and the Insulin receptor (IR) on the disease outcome of GD and TED. Methods Linsitinib was administered orally for four weeks with therapy initiating in either the early ("active") or the late ("chronic") phases of the disease. In the thyroid and the orbit, autoimmune hyperthyroidism and orbitopathy were analyzed serologically (total anti-TSHR binding antibodies, stimulating anti TSHR antibodies, total T4 levels), immunohistochemically (H&E-, CD3-, TNFa- and Sirius red staining) and with immunofluorescence (F4/80 staining). An MRI was performed to quantify in vivo tissue remodeling inside the orbit. Results Linsitinib prevented autoimmune hyperthyroidism in the early state of the disease, by reducing morphological changes indicative for hyperthyroidism and blocking T-cell infiltration, visualized by CD3 staining. In the late state of the disease linsitinib had its main effect in the orbit. Linsitinib reduced immune infiltration of T-cells (CD3 staining) and macrophages (F4/80 and TNFa staining) in the orbita in experimental GD suggesting an additional, direct effect of linsitinib on the autoimmune response. In addition, treatment with linsitinib normalized the amount of brown adipose tissue in both the early and late group. An in vivo MRI of the late group was performed and revealed a marked decrease of inflammation, visualized by 19F MR imaging, significant reduction of existing muscle edema and formation of brown adipose tissue. Conclusion Here, we demonstrate that linsitinib effectively prevents development and progression of thyroid eye disease in an experimental murine model for Graves' disease. Linsitinib improved the total disease outcome, indicating the clinical significance of the findings and providing a path to therapeutic intervention of Graves' Disease. Our data support the use of linsitinib as a novel treatment for thyroid eye disease.

Abstract
The inflammatory eye disease Graves' orbitopathy (GO) is the main complication of autoimmune Graves' disease. In previous studies we have shown that hypoxia plays an important role for progression of GO. Hypoxia can maintain inflammation by attracting inflammatory cells such as macrophages (MQ). Herein, we investigated the interaction of MQ and orbital fibroblasts (OF) in context of inflammation and hypoxia. We detected elevated levels of the hypoxia marker HIF-1α, the MQ marker CD68, and inflammatory cytokines TNFα, CCL2, CCL5, and CCL20 in GO biopsies. Hypoxia stimulated GO tissues to release TNFα, CCL2, and CCL20 as measured by multiplex enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Further, TNFα and hypoxia stimulated the expression of HIF-1α, CCL2, CCL5, and CCL20 in OF derived from GO tissues. Immunofluorescence confirmed that TNFα-positive MQ were present in the GO tissues. Thus, interaction of M1-MQ with OF under hypoxia also induced HIF-1α, CCL2, and CCL20 in OF. Inflammatory inhibitors etanercept or dexamethasone prevented the induction of HIF-1α and release of CCL2 and CCL20. Moreover, co-culture of M1-MQ/OF under hypoxia enhanced adipogenic differentiation and adiponectin secretion. Dexamethasone and HIF-1α inhibitor PX-478 reduced this effect. Our findings indicate that GO fat tissues are characterized by an inflammatory and hypoxic milieu where TNFα-positive MQ are present. Hypoxia and interaction of M1-MQ with OF led to enhanced secretion of chemokines, elevated hypoxic signaling, and adipogenesis. In consequence, M1-MQ/OF interaction results in constant inflammation and tissue remodeling. A combination of anti-inflammatory treatment and HIF-1α reduction could be an effective treatment option.

Abstract
Non-specific orbital inflammation (NSOI) and IgG4-related orbital disease (IgG4-ROD) are often challenging to differentiate. Furthermore, it is still uncertain how chronic inflammation, such as IgG4-ROD, can lead to mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of gene expression analysis to differentiate orbital autoimmune diseases and elucidate genetic overlaps. First, we established a database of NSOI, relapsing NSOI, IgG4-ROD and MALT lymphoma patients of our orbital center (2000−2019). In a consensus process, three typical patients of the above mentioned three groups (mean age 56.4 ± 17 years) at similar locations were selected. Afterwards, RNA was isolated using the RNeasy FFPE kit (Qiagen) from archived paraffin-embedded tissues. The RNA of these 12 patients were then subjected to gene expression analysis (NanoString nCounter®), including a total of 1364 target genes. The most significantly upregulated and downregulated genes were used for a machine learning algorithm to distinguish entities. This was possible with a high probability (p < 0.0001). Interestingly, gene expression patterns showed a characteristic overlap of lymphoma with IgG4-ROD and NSOI. In contrast, IgG4-ROD shared only altered expression of one gene regarding NSOI. To validate our potential biomarker genes, we isolated the RNA of a further 48 patients (24 NSOI, 11 IgG4-ROD, 13 lymphoma patients). Then, gene expression pattern analysis of the 35 identified target genes was performed using a custom-designed CodeSet to assess the prediction accuracy of the multi-parameter scoring algorithms. They showed high accuracy and good performance (AUC ROC: IgG4-ROD 0.81, MALT 0.82, NSOI 0.67). To conclude, genetic expression analysis has the potential for faster and more secure differentiation between NSOI and IgG4-ROD. MALT-lymphoma and IgG4-ROD showed more genetic similarities, which points towards progression to lymphoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pruritus is prevalent in psoriasis but still many features of pruritus, its response to therapy and its burden in psoriasis remain to be better characterized. OBJECTIVE To investigate characteristics and burden of pruritus in an international cohort of patients with psoriasis. METHODS This cross-sectional study included a total of 634 patients and 246 controls from Germany, Poland and Russia. Physicians examined and interviewed participants, recording clinical characteristics, such as severity, therapy and localization of psoriatic lesions. Participants filled out self-reported questionnaires including questions on pruritus severity and impact, characteristics, and response to therapy, and quality of life (QoL). Localization patterns of pruritus and skin lesions were visualized using body heat maps. RESULTS Most patients (82%) experienced pruritus throughout their disease, and 75% had current pruritus. The majority of patients (64%) perceived pure pruritus, and those who reported additional painful and/or burning sensations (36%) reported overall stronger pruritus. The scalp was the most frequently reported localization of pruritus, even in the absence of skin lesions. Body surface area (BSA) of pruritus was not linked to pruritus intensity, but to BSA of psoriatic lesions (rho = 0.278; P < 0.001). One third of patients (31%) reported impaired sex-life, and 4% had suicidal ideations due to pruritus. In up to one third of patients, psoriasis therapies had little or no effect on pruritus. The only therapeutic option offered to some of these patients were antihistamines, which appeared to be effective in most cases. CONCLUSION Pruritus is highly prevalent in psoriasis and is linked to a significant burden. Current psoriasis therapies are frequently insufficient to control pruritus. Managing psoriasis should include the assessment and control of itch. Efficient antipruritic therapies should be developed and be made available for patients with psoriasis.

Abstract
Background: Graves' orbitopathy (GO) is an autoimmune-driven manifestation of Graves' disease (GD) where pathogenic autoantibodies to the thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) activate orbital fibroblasts/preadipocytes in the orbital tissue to induce inflammation and extracellular matrix deposition. Since there are significant limitations to study immunological and proinflammatory mediator expression in early and during disease progression in GO patients, we used our experimental mouse model to elucidate early pathogenic processes. Methods: We have developed a robust mouse model of GD/GO induced by electroporation immunization of plasmid encoding human TSHR A-subunit, comprising multiple injections over a course of 15 weeks to fully recapitulate the orbital pathology. In this study, we investigated kinetics of GO development in the model by serial analyses of immunological and cellular parameters during course of orbital inflammation. Results: Pathogenic anti-TSHR antibodies with thyroid-stimulating properties developed early after the second immunization step with concomitant induction of hyperthyroidism. Examination of orbital tissue showed an early wave of macrophage infiltration followed subsequently by CD3+ T cells into the orbital tissue. Examination of antigen-specific T cell activity using recombinant human A-subunit protein showed high CD8+ T cell proliferation during this early phase of disease onset, whereas effector CD4+ T cells and CD25+FOXP3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) were downregulated. The early phase of disease was also characterized by abundant presence of proinflammatory cytokines interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Moreover, as the disease progressed, there was significant increase in browning of orbital fat tissue, which may be dependent on the proinflammatory milieu and/or the increased thyroid hormone levels during the established hyperthyroid status. Conclusions: This work revealed early infiltration of macrophages in the orbital region and induction of pathogenic anti-TSHR antibodies during disease onset in the model. This was followed subsequently by influx of CD8+ T cells specific for TSHR coupled with reduction in Tregs and substantial increase in brown adipose tissue. These new insights into the development of orbital inflammation in the model have implications for testing new therapeutic regimens by targeting macrophage function during early phases of orbital inflammation in the model.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sleep, which is crucial for restoring of physiological functions and health, is reportedly impaired in psoriasis. The role of different potential sleep confounding factors, including detailed pruritus characteristics, and the complex interplay between psychological variables (anxiety and depression), pruritus and sleep disturbance in psoriasis remain insufficiently investigated. OBJECTIVES To investigate sleep characteristics and to identify clinical, demographic, and psychological factors associated with sleep disturbance in psoriasis. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 334 psoriasis patients (response rate 86%) and 126 control subjects (response rate 82%). Measures included sleep quality [Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)], psoriasis severity, pruritus characteristics, including average pruritus intensity [Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)], severity of comorbidities, anxiety and depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale - HADS), and quality of life (Dermatology Life Quality Index - DLQI, and Short Form 12 - SF12). RESULTS Fifty-nine percent of patients, and 34% of control subjects (P<0.001) suffered from sleep disturbance (PSQI>5). Patients slept 1 hour less than control subjects (median 6 vs. 7 hours, P<0.001). Patients without pruritus had less impaired sleep (global PSQI) than patients with strong (P<0.001) and very strong pruritus (P<0.001). Anxiety (HADS-A) and depression (HADS-D) levels were the strongest predictors of sleep impairment, followed by pruritus exacerbation at night, age, female sex, pruritus exacerbation in the morning, average pruritus intensity (VAS), diagnosed depression and gastroesophageal reflux disease, altogether explaining 32% - 37% of the variance in global sleep quality. Both, anxiety (HADS-A) and depression (HADS-D) were significant mediators explaining the association between pruritus intensity (VAS) and sleep impairment in 42% and 37%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Sleep disturbance in patients with psoriasis is highly prevalent. Patients with psoriasis should be assessed for sleep impairment, pruritus, anxiety, and depression. Reduction of pruritus should be considered as an important therapeutic goal, along with therapies aimed at reducing anxiety and depression.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to investigate the use of serial measurements of TSH-receptor autoantibodies (TRAb) with the newest available assay technology to predict the course of Graves' Orbitopathy (GO) during the first 24 months from disease onset. Serial serum samples from patients with GO (103 mild/135 severe) were collected between 2007 and 2017 and retrospectively analyzed. The course of GO were classified into mild/severe 12 months after manifestation (severe: NOSPECS≥5; mild<5). TRAb were measured with automated binding immunoassays (IU/l): TRAb Elecsys (Cobas, Roche), TRAb bridge assay (IMMULITE, Siemens), and a cell-based bioassay (percent of specimen to reference ratio - SRR%) (Thyretain, Quidel). Variable cut off levels of measured TRAb were calculated at specificity of 90% from receiver operator curve (ROC) analysis for several timepoints during the course of GO. To select one: 5-8 months after first GO symptoms, which is the timepoint for usual referals for treatment mild course could be predicted at cut offs of 1.5 IU/l (Elecsys), 0.8 IU/l (Immulite) and 402% SRR (Thyretain) and the risc of severe course has to be anticipated if TRAb are above 11.6 IU/l (Elecsys), 6.5 IU/l (Thyretain), and 714% SRR (Thyretain). The Thyretain bioassay showed the highest diagnostic sensitivity (using the commercial cut off's) over the entire follow up period. TRAb measurements during the 24-month follow up of GO provide added value to the GO clinical activity and severity scores and should be used especially in the event of an unclear decision-taking situation with regard to therapy.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the potential of the new TSH-receptor antibody (TRAb) assays to predict remission or relapse of hyperthyroidism in patients with Graves' disease (GD) and Graves' orbitopathy (GO). TRAbs were measured retrospectively in sera from a cohort of GD patients with GO (n=117; remission n=38 and relapse n=79-Essen GO biobank) with automated binding immunoassays: TRAb Elecsys (Cobas Roche) and TRAb bridge assay (IMMULITE, Siemens), and the TSAb (thyroid stimulating Ab) cell-based bioassay (Thyretain, Quidel Corp.). To identify relapse risk/remission of hyperthyroidism patients were followed up at least 10 months after the end of antithyroid drug therapy (ATD) therapy. ROC plot analysis was performed to calculate cut-off levels of TRAb and TSAb for prediction of relapse and remission of hyperthyroidism. Cut-off serum levels are provided for timepoints around 3, 6, 10, and 15 months after the beginning of ATD. Repeated measurements of TRAb increase the rate of relapses predictions to 60% (Elecsys), 70% (IMMULITE), and 55% (Thyretain). Patients with remission have consistently TRAb levels below the cut off for relapse in repeated measurements. The cell-based bioassay was the most sensitive - and continued to be positive during follow up [at 15 months: 90% vs. 70% (IMMULITE) and 65% (Elecsys)]. Identification of relapsing hyperthyroidism is possible with automated immunoassays and cell-based bioassay especially with serial TRAb measurements during the course of ATD therapy. Patient who need eye surgery may profit from an early decision towards definitive treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Graves' disease (GD) is an autoimmune condition in which autoantibodies to the thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) cause hyperthyroidism. About 50% of GD patients also have Graves' orbitopathy (GO), an intractable disease in which expansion of the orbital contents causes diplopia, proptosis and even blindness. Murine models of GD/GO, developed in different centres, demonstrated significant variation in gut microbiota composition which correlated with TSHR-induced disease heterogeneity. To investigate whether correlation indicates causation, we modified the gut microbiota to determine whether it has a role in thyroid autoimmunity. Female BALB/c mice were treated with either vancomycin, probiotic bacteria, human fecal material transfer (hFMT) from patients with severe GO or ddH2O from birth to immunization with TSHR-A subunit or beta-galactosidase (βgal; age ~ 6 weeks). Incidence and severity of GD (TSHR autoantibodies, thyroid histology, thyroxine level) and GO (orbital fat and muscle histology), lymphocyte phenotype, cytokine profile and gut microbiota were analysed at sacrifice (~ 22 weeks). RESULTS In ddH2O-TSHR mice, 84% had pathological autoantibodies, 67% elevated thyroxine, 77% hyperplastic thyroids and 70% orbital pathology. Firmicutes were increased, and Bacteroidetes reduced relative to ddH2O-βgal; CCL5 was increased. The random forest algorithm at the genus level predicted vancomycin treatment with 100% accuracy but 74% and 70% for hFMT and probiotic, respectively. Vancomycin significantly reduced gut microbiota richness and diversity compared with all other groups; the incidence and severity of both GD and GO also decreased; reduced orbital pathology correlated positively with Akkermansia spp. whilst IL-4 levels increased. Mice receiving hFMT initially inherited their GO donors' microbiota, and the severity of induced GD increased, as did the orbital brown adipose tissue volume in TSHR mice. Furthermore, genus Bacteroides, which is reduced in GD patients, was significantly increased by vancomycin but reduced in hFMT-treated mice. Probiotic treatment significantly increased CD25+ Treg cells in orbital draining lymph nodes but exacerbated induced autoimmune hyperthyroidism and GO. CONCLUSIONS These results strongly support a role for the gut microbiota in TSHR-induced disease. Whilst changes to the gut microbiota have a profound effect on quantifiable GD endocrine and immune factors, the impact on GO cellular changes is more nuanced. The findings have translational potential for novel, improved treatments. Video abstract.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited options are available for treatment of paediatric psoriasis. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ustekinumab in paediatric patients with psoriasis (≥ 6 to < 12 years of age). METHODS CADMUS Jr, a phase III, open-label, single-arm, multicentre study, evaluated ustekinumab in paediatric patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Patients received weight-based dosing of ustekinumab (< 60 kg: 0·75 mg kg-1 ; ≥ 60 to ≤ 100 kg: 45 mg; > 100 kg: 90 mg) administered by subcutaneous injection at weeks 0 and 4, then every 12 weeks through week 40. Study endpoints (all at week 12) included the proportions of patients achieving a Physician's Global Assessment score of cleared/minimal (PGA 0/1) and ≥ 75%/90% improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 75/90), and change in Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI). Serum ustekinumab concentrations, antidrug antibodies and cytokine levels were measured through week 52. Safety was evaluated through week 56. RESULTS In total, 44 patients (median age 9·5 years) received at least one dose of ustekinumab. Three patients discontinued the study agent through week 40. At week 12, 77% of patients achieved PGA 0/1, 84% achieved PASI 75 and 64% achieved PASI 90 response. The mean change in CDLQI was -6·3. Trough serum ustekinumab concentrations reached steady state at weeks 28-52. The incidence of antidrug antibodies was 10% (n = 4). Mean serum concentrations of interleukin-17A/F and interleukin-22 were significantly reduced at weeks 12 and 52. Overall, 34 patients (77%) had at least one adverse event and three (7%) had a serious adverse event. CONCLUSIONS Ustekinumab effectively treated moderate-to-severe psoriasis in paediatric patients, and no new safety concerns were identified. What is already known about this topic? Ustekinumab is approved for use in adolescents (≥ 12 to < 18 years of age) and adults (≥ 18 years) with moderate-to-severe psoriasis. What does this study add? Ustekinumab effectively treats moderate-to-severe psoriasis in paediatric patients (≥ 6 to < 12 years of age), with no new safety concerns. Linked Comment: Reich. Br J Dermatol 2020; 183:606-607.

Abstract
Graves' disease (GD) is an autoimmune condition with the appearance of anti-TSH receptor (TSHR) autoantibodies in the serum. The consequence is the development of hyperthyroidism in most of the patients. In addition, in the most severe cases, patients can develop orbitopathy (GO), achropachy and dermopathy. The central role of the TSHR for the disease pathology has been well accepted. Therefore immunization against the TSHR is pivotal for the creation of in vivo models for the disease. However, TSHR is well preserved among the species and therefore the immune system is highly tolerant. Many differing attempts have been performed to break tolerance and to create a proper animal model in the last decades. The most successful have been achieved by introducing the human TSHR extracellular domain into the body, either by injection of plasmid or adenoviruses. Currently available models develop the whole spectrum of Graves' disease-autoimmune thyroid disease and orbitopathy and are suitable to study disease pathogenesis and to perform treatment studies. In recent publications new immunomodulatory therapies have been assessed and also diseaseprevention by inducing tolerance using small cyclic peptides from the antigenic region of the extracellular subunit of the TSHR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adalimumab (ADA) (Humira® , AbbVie Inc., U.S.A.) is approved by the European Medicines Agency for children aged ≥ 4 years with severe plaque psoriasis. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of ADA in children with severe plaque psoriasis. METHODS Results are presented from the 52-week long-term extension (LTE) of the randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, phase III trial, in children with severe plaque psoriasis (results from prior periods have been published). Patients aged ≥ 4 and < 18 years were randomized 1 : 1 : 1 to ADA 0·8 mg kg-1 (40 mg maximum) or 0·4 mg kg-1 (20 mg maximum) every other week or to methotrexate (MTX) 0·1-0·4 mg kg-1 (25 mg maximum) weekly. The 16-week initial treatment (IT) period was followed by a 36-week withdrawal period and a 16-week retreatment period. Patients could enter the LTE at prespecified time points to receive ADA 0·8 mg kg-1 (blinded or open label) or ADA 0·4 mg kg-1 (blinded), or to remain off treatment. Efficacy is reported for patient groups according to doses received in the IT and LTE periods. RESULTS Of the 114 patients randomized in the IT period, 108 entered the LTE (n = 36 in each group); 93 received ADA 0·8 mg kg-1 . Efficacy (≥ 75% improvement from baseline in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index) was maintained or improved from entry to the end of the LTE: MTX(IT)/ADA 0·8(LTE) 31-86% of patients; ADA 0·4(IT)/0·4 or 0·8(LTE) 28-47%; ADA 0·8(IT)/0·8(LTE) 50-72%. No serious infections occurred in the LTE. CONCLUSIONS After 52 weeks of long-term ADA treatment in children aged 4-18 years with severe plaque psoriasis, disease severity was reduced and maintained or further improved, as demonstrated by efficacy outcomes. No new safety risks were identified. What's already known about this topic? The results from the first three periods of this phase III trial in children aged 4-18 years with severe plaque psoriasis suggest that adalimumab is a safe and efficacious treatment option in this population. What does this study add? This is the first study to evaluate long-term treatment of adalimumab in children with severe psoriasis, and the first to evaluate switching from methotrexate to adalimumab in this population.

Abstract
Temporally modulated electron beams have a wide array of applications ranging from the generation of coherently enhanced electromagnetic radiation to the resonant excitation of electromagnetic wakefields in advanced-accelerator concepts. Likewise producing low-energy ultrashort microbunches could be useful for ultrafast electron diffraction and new accelerator-based light-source concepts. In this Letter we propose and experimentally demonstrate a passive microbunching technique capable of forming a picosecond bunch train at ∼6 MeV. The method relies on the excitation of electromagnetic wakefields as the beam propagates through a dielectric-lined waveguide. Owing to the nonultrarelativistic nature of the beam, the induced energy modulation eventually converts into a density modulation as the beam travels in a following free-space drift. The modulated beam is further accelerated to ∼20 MeV while preserving the imparted density modulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rare variants in the genes IL36RN, CARD14 and AP1S3 have been identified to cause or contribute to pustular skin diseases, primarily generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP). OBJECTIVES To better understand the disease relevance of these genes, we screened our cohorts of patients with pustular skin diseases [primarily GPP and palmoplantar pustular psoriasis (PPP)] for coding changes in these three genes. Carriers of single heterozygous IL36RN mutations were screened for a second mutation in IL36RN. METHODS Coding exons of IL36RN, CARD14 and AP1S3 were sequenced in 67 patients - 61 with GPP, two with acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis and four with acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau. We screened IL36RN and AP1S3 for intragenic copy-number variants and 258 patients with PPP for coding changes in AP1S3. Eleven heterozygous IL36RN mutations carriers were analysed for a second noncoding IL36RN mutation. Genotype-phenotype correlations in carriers/noncarriers of IL36RN mutations were assessed within the GPP cohort. RESULTS The majority of patients (GPP, 64%) did not carry rare variants in any of the three genes. Biallelic and monoallelic IL36RN mutations were identified in 15 and five patients with GPP, respectively. Noncoding rare IL36RN variants were not identified in heterozygous carriers. The only significant genotype-phenotype correlation observed for IL36RN mutation carriers was early age at disease onset. Additional rare CARD14 or AP1S3 variants were identified in 15% of IL36RN mutation carriers. CONCLUSIONS The identification of IL36RN mutation carriers harbouring additional rare variants in CARD14 or AP1S3 indicates a more complex mode of inheritance of pustular psoriasis. Our results suggest that, in heterozygous IL36RN mutation carriers, there are additional disease-causing genetic factors outside IL36RN.

Abstract
Background Poor adherence to topical therapy in psoriasis remains an issue; it is associated with poor clinical outcomes, reduced quality of life and increased costs. Treatment‐related factors leading to poor adherence include lack of efficacy, excessive time applying medication and poor cosmetic characteristics (e.g. slow absorption, greasiness). Objective To assess the topical treatment attributes that influence patient preference for fixed combination calcipotriol 50 μg/g (Cal) and betamethasone 0.5 mg/g as dipropionate (BD) foam vs. gel, as well as in comparison with the latest topical treatment (LTT) a patient received. Methods PSO‐INSIGHTFUL was a Phase IIIb, prospective, multicentre (Canada/Germany), open‐label, randomized, two‐arm crossover study in patients aged ≥18 years with mild‐to‐severe psoriasis (NCT02310646). Following a washout period of up to 4 weeks, patients were randomized 1 : 1 to once‐daily Cal/BD foam for 1 week, followed by Cal/BD gel for 1 week, or vice versa. Patients completed six questionnaires evaluating patient preferences. Results A total of 213 patients were randomized; 118 had received a topical treatment in the previous 3 months. Based on the Subject's Preference Assessment, 50% of patients preferred Cal/BD foam and 50% preferred Cal/BD gel. Based on the Topical Product Usability Questionnaire (TPUQ), overall mean scores were high for both Cal/BD foam and gel, and were often significantly in favour of both products compared with LTT. Greater differences between Cal/BD foam and gel vs. LTT occurred when the previous treatment was an ointment or cream. Cal/BD foam was generally preferred by younger patients (aged 18–39 years), whereas Cal/BD gel tended to be preferred by older patients (aged ≥40 years). Results from other questionnaires were aligned with the TPUQ. Conclusions Patients with psoriasis have diverse needs and different preferences for topical treatment. This knowledge may help prescribers to choose the right formulation for the right patient, potentially leading to improved adherence and better treatment outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis affecting sites such as the hands, feet and nails can be particularly difficult to treat. There are limited data on the efficacy of biological agents to treat these specific localizations. OBJECTIVE This analysis of a phase 2 regimen-finding study evaluated the efficacy of secukinumab in subjects with moderate-to-severe psoriasis and non-pustular involvement of the hands, feet and/or nails. METHODS Subjects were randomized (1 : 2 : 2 : 1) to one of three subcutaneous secukinumab 150-mg induction regimens [Single (Week 0), Monthly (Weeks 0, 4, 8), Early (Weeks 0, 1, 2, 4)] or placebo. In the subgroup (n = 131) with hand and/or foot psoriasis [baseline 5-point hand/foot Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) score ≥2], efficacy was assessed as percentage of subjects achieving an IGA response [a score of 0 (clear) or 1 (minimal) and an improvement of ≥2 points on the 5-point hand/foot scale vs. baseline] at Week 12. In the subgroup (n = 304) with fingernail psoriasis (baseline composite score ≥1), efficacy was assessed as mean percentage change from baseline to Week 12 in a composite score. RESULTS At Week 12, a markedly higher percentage of subjects with hand and/or foot psoriasis achieved an IGA response with the Early regimen vs. placebo (54.3% vs. 19.2%, P = 0.005). The composite fingernail score improved with the Early and Monthly regimens, but worsened with placebo [percentage mean change from baseline (SE): -19.1% (6.12) and -10.6% (7.06) vs. 14.4% (11.92); P = 0.010 vs. placebo for Early, P = 0.027 for Monthly). Secukinumab was well tolerated. CONCLUSION Secukinumab demonstrated a beneficial effect on psoriasis of the hands/feet/nails in this short-term assessment.

Abstract
Psoriasis is one of the most common systemic inflammatory diseases and affects the quality of life of the affected persons profoundly. Further knowledge of the pathogenesis and new biotechnological techniques have made it possible to develop new targeted therapies, such as antibodies against tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha. Today, 3 TNF inhibitors, infliximab, adalimumab, and Etanercept, have been approved for the treatment of psoriasis arthritis, psoriasis, and other indications like Crohn's disease, depending on the distinct substance by the European Medicines Agency. Golimumab was approved in September 2009 for the use in psoriasis arthritis, respectively. These substances have added new effective treatment options to the therapeutic armamentarium of psoriasis. To use these new treatments for the best of our patients, it is important to know the correct application, the advantages, as well as contraindications or possible adverse effects of the substances. This article provides an update on the TNF-alpha inhibitors with emphasis on practical daily use. Most data are on the basis of high-quality studies and official guidelines, but if necessary, data from recent publications or clinical expertise have been added. In summary, with TNF inhibitors we have gained effective new treatment options showing a favorable safety profile when paying attention to safety aspects before and during therapy (screening, monitoring).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular complications are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in chronic renal failure (CRF) patients. Chronic anemia is a complication of CRF and a cardiovascular risk factor per se. It was the aim of the present study to clarify whether uremia and anemia are additive or supra-additive with respect to cardiovascular alterations. METHODS Thirty SD rats were sham operated (sham) or subtotally nephrectomized (SNX). Both groups were subdivided into anemic (target hemoglobin 10 g/dl, by tail artery punctures) and untreated animals. Blood pressure, echocardiographic measurements and morphometric investigations were performed. The study was terminated after 16 weeks. RESULTS Heart rate and blood pressure were similar in all groups. Anemia was comparable in sham+anemia and SNX+anemia. Left ventricular end-diastolic pressure was significantly higher in untreated SNX and SNX+anemia than in sham. Anemia and SNX caused comparable left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), which was significantly higher in SNX+anemia. In sham animals, anemia induced thickening of intramyocardial arteries, which was significantly more pronounced in SNX with no additional effect of anemia. CONCLUSIONS Experimentally, anemia and CRF induced LVH and intramyocardial arteriolar thickening. If both are combined, the increase in LVH is even more marked, whereas there are no additional effects on intramyocardial structural alterations.

Abstract
With a prevalence of 2-3 percent, psoriasis is one of the most common diseases in dermatology. Most patients can be treated sufficiently with topical emollients, but approximately 20 percent of all patients suffering from psoriasis need photo- and/or systemic therapies. Side effects, contraindications, insufficient clinical responses, and lack of long-term efficacy underline the need for novel and improved antipsoriatic therapies. Several biologics interfering with key steps in the immunopathogenesis of psoriasis bear the potential to meet this need with regard to treating moderate to severe psoriasis. Progress made in the understanding of the pathophysiology of psoriasis as T-cell mediated dermatosis does provide options for new, more precise therapeutic approaches. These immunological therapeutic strategies are targeted at the inhibition of T-cell activation, the depletion of activated T-lymphocytes, the inhibition of adhesion of inflammatory cells, the inhibition of effects of proinflammatory cytokines and the application of antiinflammatory cytokines. This article gives a summary of new biologicals used in the treatment of psoriasis. Clinical results received from first applications are inconclusive. Further results of the studies from phase II and phase III can be expected in the next few years, which should make it possible to achieve better assessments of the potential of these types of treatments. Some of these approaches could lead to the approval of new drugs to treat psoriasis and to enhance or replace already existing therapeutic options.

Abstract
PDZ domains are protein-protein interaction modules that typically bind to short peptide sequences at the carboxyl terminus of target proteins. Proteins containing multiple PDZ domains often bind to different trans-membrane and intracellular proteins, playing a central role as organizers of multimeric complexes. To characterize the rules underlying the binding specificity of different PDZ domains, we have assembled a novel repertoire of random peptides that are displayed at high density at the carboxyl terminus of the capsid D protein of bacteriophage lambda. We have exploited this combinatorial library to determine the peptide binding preference of the seven PDZ domains of human INADL, a multi-PDZ protein that is homologous to the INAD protein of Drosophila melanogaster. This approach has permitted the determination of the consensus ligand for each PDZ domain and the assignment to class I, class II, and to a new specificity class, class IV, characterized by the presence of an acidic residue at the carboxyl-terminal position. Homology modeling and site-directed mutagenesis experiments confirmed the involvement of specific residues at contact positions in determining the domain binding preference. However, these experiments failed to reveal simple rules that would permit the association of the chemical characteristics of any given residue in the peptide binding pocket to the preference for specific amino acid sequences in the ligand peptide. Rather, they suggested that to infer the binding preference of any PDZ domain, it is necessary to simultaneously take into account all contact positions by using computational procedures. For this purpose we extended the SPOT algorithm, originally developed for SH3 domains, to evaluate the probability that any peptide would bind to any given PDZ domain.
