A new study conducted by researchers at Korea University College of Medicine in South Korea has found that exposure to biocides, such as phenols, parabens, and pyrethroid insecticides, may contribute to the development of atopic dermatitis in children and adolescents. The study analyzed data from 1,988 participants and found that urinary levels of triclosan (TCS) were positively associated with atopic dermatitis in schoolchildren, particularly in males. The study suggests that biocides at levels commonly found in Korean children and adolescents can impact the development of atopic dermatitis. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted by researchers at Gachon University in South Korea explored the effects of membrane-free stem cell components derived from adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCE) on atopic dermatitis (AD) in mice. AD is a common inflammatory skin disorder characterized by skin barrier dysfunction and an imbalance in the immune response. The study found that the administration of ADSCE resulted in significant improvements in dermatitis score, epidermal thickness, transepidermal water loss, and serum levels of immunoglobulin E. ADSCE treatment also upregulated the expression of skin barrier proteins and inhibited the infiltration of mast cells and the expression of thymic stromal lymphopoietin. The researchers concluded that ADSCE showed potential as a therapeutic treatment for AD. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted by researchers at Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine in South Korea examined the relationship between sleep patterns and mental health in adolescents with atopic dermatitis (AD). The study found that adolescents with AD experienced shorter overall sleep durations, but longer weekend catch-up sleep (WCUS). Interestingly, the study also found that prolonged WCUS was associated with a lower risk of suicidal ideation in adolescents with AD. These findings highlight the importance of addressing sleep patterns in adolescents with AD to enhance their mental health and reduce the risk of suicidal thoughts. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted by researchers from the Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology (KRIBB) has investigated the effects of Ishige okamurae extract on atopic dermatitis. The study focused on a bioactive compound called diphlorethohydroxycarmalol found in the extract. The researchers found that the extract effectively reduced inflammation and other symptoms of atopic dermatitis in both human keratinocyte cell lines and mouse models. These findings suggest that Ishige okamurae extract and diphlorethohydroxycarmalol may have potential as anti-inflammatory agents for the treatment of inflammatory skin disorders.

A recent report discusses research conducted at the Catholic University of Korea on atopic dermatitis. The study focused on the dysregulated Hippo signaling pathway and the activation of the yes-associated protein (YAP) in atopic dermatitis. The researchers found that YAP is upregulated in patients with atopic dermatitis and in a mouse model of the condition. Inhibition of YAP reduced epidermal cell proliferation and mast cell numbers, as well as the upregulation of cytokines associated with inflammation. The study suggests that YAP inhibitors could be potential therapeutic agents for atopic dermatitis. [Extracted from the article]

A study conducted at Gil Medical Center in South Korea explored the relationship between exposure to environmental noise and the prevalence of environmental diseases such as atopic dermatitis, asthma, and allergic rhinitis. The researchers analyzed data from the National Health Insurance Service and the National Noise Information System from 2013 to 2017. They found that areas with high night-time noise exposure had higher prevalence ratios for atopic dermatitis and allergic rhinitis compared to the general population. Additionally, there was a significant linear association between the level of nocturnal noise exposure and the severity of atopic dermatitis. This study provides evidence of a significant association between night-time environmental noise and environmental diseases. [Extracted from the article]

One of the challenges in diagnosing AD is the lack of a definitive biomarker for AD in Korea, and there is a need for more effective, safe, and cost-effective treatments for AD."
