ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: The flower buds of Sophora japonica L. are a major traditional medicine in China, Japan, and Korea and are used to stop bleeding and 'cool the blood'. Accordingly, they are used to treat bleeding haemorrhoids, hypertension, and pyoderma. In addition, it was recently found that the flower buds of S. japonica (SJ) have cosmetic whitening properties. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Compounds in SJ and their targets and related diseases were investigated using the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology (TCMSP) database and analysis platform. Target gene information was obtained from the UniProt database. Network construction was carried out using Cytoscape 3.72. Contact dermatitis (CD)-related gene searching was performed using the Cytoscape string App. Docking analysis was conducted using AutoDock Vina. Six-week-old Balb/c male mice with DNFB (1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene)-induced CD were treated with a methanol extract of the flower buds of S. japonica (MESJ), and its effects on skin colour, lesions, and immune cell infiltration, and on histopathological abnormalities such as epidermal hyperplasia were investigated. RESULTS: Eleven compounds targeted 13 CD-related genes, that is, serum albumin (ALB), prostaglandin G/H synthase (COX) 2, C-X-C motif chemokine (CXCL) 2, CXCL10, ICAM1, IFN-γ, IL-10, IL-1α, IL-1ß, IL-2, IL-6, E-selectin, and TNF. In the murine DNFB model, MESJ significantly suppressed scaling, erythema, and skin thickening as compared with DNFB controls and epithelial hyperplasia and immune cell infiltrations induced by repeated DNFB application. CONCLUSIONS: Our animal study showed that the mode of action of MESJ was closely related to the prevention of epithelial hyperplasia and immune cell infiltration. The results obtained demonstrated that the flower buds of S. japonica offer a potential means of treating CD, and suggest that the therapeutic mechanism of CD is explained by relations between 11 major components of SJ, including kaempferol and quercetin, and 13 CD-related genes.

BACKGROUND: B-rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma (BRAF) inhibitor encorafenib alone and in combination with MEK inhibitor binimetinib improves survival in BRAF-mutated melanoma patients. So far, the range of cutaneous adverse events has been characterized only for established BRAF inhibitors (vemurafenib, dabrafenib) and MEK inhibitors (trametinib, cobimetinib). OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate cutaneous adverse events emerging in melanoma patients treated with encorafenib and binimetinib. METHODS: Patients treated with BRAF and MEK inhibitors in clinical trials at the University Hospital of Zurich were identified. Frequency and features of cutaneous adverse events as well as their management were assessed based on the prospectively collected clinical and histopathological data. The events emerging during encorafenib and/or binimetinib therapy were compared to other BRAF and MEK inhibitors at the institution and in the literature. RESULTS: The most frequent cutaneous adverse events observed in patients treated with encorafenib alone (n = 24) were palmoplantar hyperkeratosis (54%), palmoplantar erythrodysesthesia (58%) and alopecia (46%). Drug-induced papulopustular eruptions prevailed in patients with binimetinib monotherapy (n = 25). The most frequent cutaneous adverse events in patients treated with encorafenib/binimetinib (n = 49) were palmoplantar hyperkeratosis (10%). CONCLUSION: Compared to data published for established BRAFi, encorafenib monotherapy showed less hyperproliferative cutaneous adverse events. In contrast, palmoplantar hyperkeratosis and palmoplantar erythrodysesthesia seem to occur more often. The combination of encorafenib and binimetinib is well tolerated and induces few cutaneous adverse events.

The primary aim of the present study was to develop lanolin-based organogel with enhanced delivery potential and reduced skin irritation for the treatment of hyperkeratotic lesions and scaling. The drug was encapsulated in the lipidic bilayers of organogel. The values of particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), and zeta potential of the developed carrier system was found to be 257.5 nm, 0.272, and -24.9 mV, respectively. The system was pseudoplastic in nature with the yield value of 2.3078 Pa. The skin permeation studies exhibited superiority of the prepared lanolin-based organogel formulation over the conventional gel formulation (CGF). Further, the dermatokinetic studies also confirmed better permeation and enhanced skin bioavailability of SA to epidermis as well as dermis vis-à-vis the CGF. In conclusion, the developed organogel system not only improved the delivery profile of SA but also reduced the skin irritant potential. The current findings can provide a suitable alternative for the development of an effective topical formulation of SA for the treatment of hyperkeratotic lesions.

Cervical hyperkeratosis is a common gynecological lesion and usually caused by inflammation or trauma. We investigated the effect of Diacerein on Estradiol benzoate-induced cervical hyperkeratosis. Diacerein (50mg/kg/day) was given orally to rats for 4 weeks in the presence or absence of cervical hyperkeratosis induced by intramuscular injection of Estradiol benzoate (60µg/100g) 3 times per week for 4 weeks. We measured the serum levels of total cholesterol, uterine weights, uterine tissue malondialdehyde, total nitrites, superoxide dismutase activity, caspase-3, interleukin-1b immunoexpression and histopathology. Our results showed that Estradiol benzoate succeeded to induce cervical hyperkeratosis which was detected by typical histopathological changes. In addition; there was significant reduction in superoxide dismutase levels and caspase-3 immunoexpression but significant increase in serum total cholesterol, malondialdehyde, total nitrites and interleukin-1b immunoexpression. Diacerein could improve all measured parameters to normal levels. It markedly prevented cervical hyperkeratosis through its anti-inflammatory (IL-1b receptor inhibitor), antioxidant and anti-apoptotic effects.

BACKGROUND: The Section of Dermatology of the University of the Philippines, Philippine General Hospital, reported a case of chronic arsenic poisoning from a community in Luzon island to the Department of Health resulting in the conduct of two health and environmental assessment missions in December 2014. OBJECTIVE: To describe the demographic profile and cutaneous manifestations of chronic arsenic poisoning among affected residents in Luzon, Philippines. METHODS: A review of the medical records of 116 residents screened during the health assessment missions in December 2014 was conducted. RESULTS: Among the 116 residents screened, 81 (70%) had clinically confirmed arsenic keratoses and hyperpigmentation. Among them, 52 were males and 29 were females with age range of 4-82 years. Two cases of squamous cell carcinoma in situ were detected through skin biopsy. High levels of arsenic in the tap water and topsoil supported the occurrence of an epidemic of chronic arsenic poisoning. CONCLUSION: Specific dermatologic findings of arsenic keratoses and pigmentation were common among the residents screened. Significantly higher occurrence of arsenic keratoses was seen in adults.

Vemurafenib is a selected BRAF kinase inhibitor approved for treating metastatic or unresectable melanoma, which has numerous cutaneous side effects unfortunately, including three previously reported cases of asymptomatic areola and/or nipple hyperkeratosis. We present the first case of painful bilateral nipple hyperkeratosis secondary to vemurafenib in an 84-year-old woman. She was successfully treated with tretinoin 0.05% cream that allowed her to comfortably continue treatment. With increased awareness of this condition, we found a second case of asymptomatic nipple hyperkeratosis secondary to vemurafenib in our clinic. As this medication gains acceptance for treatment of metastatic melanoma, it is imperative that dermatologists are aware of this potentially uncomfortable side effect that can result in decreased compliance and impaired quality of life.

BACKGROUND: Imiquimod is a local immune-response modifier that works by stimulating innate and acquired immunity. It is frequently used to treat superficial basal cell carcinoma, the most common form of skin cancer. Marked local inflammatory reaction is common during treatment. We report a case of the rare condition, multiple eruptive milia, during topical imiquimod therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A 67-year-old male patient presented infiltrating basal cell carcinoma above the left eyebrow. The patient underwent surgery and skin grafting. He presented superficial relapse at the periphery of the graft and was initially treated with Aldara®. Fifteen days after initiation, Aldara® was withdrawn due to a critical inflammatory reaction. A few weeks after complete healing, an erythematous annular plaque of milia, excluding the graft zone, appeared. This element was confirmed by histopathology. DISCUSSION: The most common local side effects reported with Aldara® are erythema, irritation and crusting. Reports of eruptive milia following Aldara® therapy are rare and they are never mentioned in the summary of product characteristics. Application of imiquimod in fact induces local inflammatory reaction due to stimulation of local cytokines, which can result in marked reaction in the infundibular epithelium of hair follicles and thus in the production of abnormal keratin that can cause pilosebaceous duct obstruction and thus the formation of epidermoid cysts. This pathological mechanism explains the absence of lesions on the skin graft of the inner arm. CONCLUSION: The occurrence of eruptive milia during treatment with Aldara® is rarely described. The timing of occurrence of these eruptive milia as well as the mechanism of action of the drug made such a reaction highly probable in our patient.

Over the past decade, targeted therapies such as BRAF inhibitors, MEK inhibitors and immunotherapies such as anti-CTLA4 and anti-PD1 antibodies have emerged as novel treatments of advanced melanoma. Along with increased use of these therapies, a range of cutaneous adverse events have also emerged, varying from more serious and frequent cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma to mere cosmetic changes such as curly hair or rare severe toxic epidermal necrolysis. Early detection and management of these cutaneous adverse events will aid patients to receive accurate treatment, avoid unnecessary discontinuation of anti-tumour treatment and improve the patient's overall quality of life. This review will describe various cutaneous adverse events of anti-melanoma therapies and its management.
