Smoking Promotes AT2 Cell Senescence and Exacerbates Pulmonary Fibrosis by Downregulating POT1 via Integratively Inducing CpG Methylation and MECP2‐Mediated FOXP2 Transcriptional Binding Inhibition

Aging Cell, EarlyView.
Smoking is one of the major causes of pulmonary fibrosis (PF), and treatment options for PF are limited. We show that POT1 is decreased in PF patients and mice, especially in smoke exposure, and investigate its contributions to PF progression from protecting AT2 cell senescence to fibrosis. AAV9‐mediated restoration of POT1 prevents PF.

Refractory scleroderma renal crisis precipitated after high-dose oral corticosteroids and concurrent intravitreal injection of bevacizumab

SAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2020
Scleroderma renal crisis is a serious complication that can develop in certain patients with systemic sclerosis. Some risks have been identified as potential triggers of scleroderma renal crisis, including the high-dose oral corticosteroids.

Familial Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia Occurs Early in Daughters With Affected Mothers: A Case Report and a Review of the Literature

Australasian Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is a form of cicatricial alopecia that is being increasingly diagnosed in recent years. It predominantly affects post‐menopausal women of various ethnic backgrounds, but cases have also been reported in pre‐menopausal women and rarely in men.

Smoking in Systemic Sclerosis: a Longitudinal European Scleroderma Trials and Research Group Study [PDF]

, 2018
Data on the role of tobacco exposure in systemic sclerosis (SSc) severity and progression are scarce. We aimed to assess the effects of smoking on the evolution of pulmonary and skin manifestations in the EUSTAR ...

Combined Lyon and Milan Scores Predict Gerd Management Outcome Better Than Either Score Alone or Their Individual Components

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
The Lyon and Milan scores outperformed AET and DeMeester score in predicting outcomes in GERD patients. When concordant, they provide optimal predictive accuracy, guiding escalation of therapy. ABSTRACT Background Confidence in gastro‐oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) diagnosis is crucial to improve outcomes from escalation of treatment. The Lyon score

Adalimumab Monotherapy or Combination Therapy With Methotrexate in Paediatric Uveitis: Data From the AIDA Network Uveitis Registry

Clinical &Experimental Ophthalmology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The study objective was to compare the effectiveness of adalimumab (ADA) in monotherapy and in combination with methotrexate (MTX) for paediatric noninfectious uveitis (NIU). Methods Registry‐based observational study. Children receiving ADA for active uveitis were divided into the ADA monotherapy group (group 1) and the ADA plus ...

Phenotypical and Functional Characteristics of in Vitro-Expanded Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells from Patients with Systematic Sclerosis

Cell Transplantation, 2017
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have received attention as an ideal source of regenerative cells because of their multipotent differentiation potential. Adipose tissue is an attractive source of MSCs.

Human collagen Krox up-regulates type I collagen expression in normal and scleroderma fibroblasts through interaction with Sp1 and Sp3 transcription factors. [PDF]

, 2007
Despite several investigations, the transcriptional mechanisms that regulate the expression of both type I collagen genes (COL1A1 and COL1A2) in either physiological or pathological situations, such as scleroderma, are not completely known.

First‐line diagnostic tests to intercept primary heart involvement in systemic sclerosis: Clinical associations from the SPRING‐SIR registry

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, EarlyView.
Primary heart involvement (pHI) is a severe but often overlooked complication of systemic sclerosis (SSc), linked to heart failure, arrhythmias and mortality. In a study of 600 patients from the Italian SPRING‐SIR registry, 25% had ECG or echocardiographic signs of pHI at baseline, associated with older age, diffuse skin disease and intestinal symptoms.
