An Ocular Surface‐Targeting Nucleic Acid Hydrogel for Efficient Dry Eye Disease Treatment

Exploration, EarlyView.
A self‐assembled nucleic acid hydrogel modified with mucin‐1 (MUC1) aptamer is developed, which can actively target the mucin layer on the ocular surface and significantly extend its retention time after distillation. Inside the hydrogel, therapeutic siRNA is embedded and can effectively silence the inflammation gene expression, subsequently restoring ...

Gene expression signatures from single‐cell transcriptomics predict Sjögren's syndrome

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
A machine learning‐based 12‐gene signature (SjS.Sig) was developed from scRNA‐seq data of PBMCs from Sjögren's syndrome patients. The model was validated using bulk RNA‐seq datasets and further confirmed through flow cytometry and qPCR analysis in an independent clinical cohort, demonstrating robust diagnostic potential.

A Refractory Leg Skin Ulcer Associated With Multiple Myeloma Successfully Treated With Plasma Exchange, Lenalidomide, and Dexamethasone

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant plasma cell disorder that primarily presents with CRAB symptoms (calcium elevation, renal failure, anemia, and bone abnormalities). In rare cases, MM manifests with systemic complications like skin ulcers, which present management challenges. Here, we report a 78‐year‐old Japanese man with MM and refractory

Nail Disorders in Systemic Conditions

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nail findings in children can be indicative of an underlying systemic disease. Many of these findings are seen in multiple entities and are not specific to one disease. The importance of specifically examining for these nail changes cannot be overstated.

TRIM Expression and Its Association With Disease Activity in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease with diverse manifestations, including rash, arthritis, and nephritis. Although autoantibodies are a key feature of SLE, their levels often poorly reflect disease severity, suggesting the involvement of additional contributing factors.
