Abstract
Background: More than a skin disease, psoriasis is also considered a systemic disorder. Lipocalin- 2, an adipokine, may be a link between psoriasis and systemic inflammation. Objectives: We conducted this study to measure the plasma level of lipocalin-2 and investigate its relationship with the clinical manifestations in patients with psoriasis. Methods: We assessed 62 patients with psoriasis and 31 healthy controls. Their demographic information and clinical characteristics were determined by physical examination and review of the recorded medical history. Plasma lipocalin-2 levels were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: Plasma lipocalin-2 concentration was significantly higher in patients with psoriasis than in the control group (P<0.001). Patients with acute psoriatic subgroups, including psoriatic erythroderma and pustular psoriasis, had significantly higher plasma lipocalin-2 levels than those with the chronic plaque type. In addition, plasma lipocalin-2 concentration positively correlates with the disease severity index, including the psoriasis area severity index, body surface area, highsensitivity C-reactive protein, nail psoriasis severity index, and pustular severity index. Conclusion: In patients with psoriasis, increased plasma lipocalin-2 levels correlated with severity and indicated an active disease state. These findings suggest that lipocalin-2 may play an important role in determining the pathogenesis of acute psoriasis and may serve as a valuable clinical biomarker of this disease.

Abstract
Alopecia areata (AA) is a tissue-specific autoimmune disease characterized by non-scarring and rapid onset of hair loss. Interleukin (IL)-17A is mainly produced by T helper 17 (Th17) cells and may play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of various autoimmune diseases including AA. We conducted this research to measure serum level of IL-17A in patients with AA and investigated its relationship with the clinical manifestations in patients with AA. We assessed 36 patients with AA and 20 healthy control subjects. Demographic information and clinical characteristics were determined by physical examination and via the review of medical history. Serum IL-17A was measured by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Serum IL-17A concentration was significantly higher in patients with AA than in the control group (P=0.004). The AA patients with severe presentation, personal atopy, nail abnormalities, or active phase had significantly higher serum IL- 17A levels compared to others without these signs. Increased serum IL-17A levels in patients with AA correlate with severity and indicate an active disease state. These findings suggest that IL-17A may play an important role in determining the pathogenesis of AA and may serve as a valuable clinical biomarker of this disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE SSc is a connective tissue disease with multisystem disorder induced by the inflammation and fibrosis following T and B cell abnormalities. Follicular helper CD4+ T (TFH) cells play a crucial role in the formation of germinal centres and specialize in interacting to aid B cell differentiation. We aimed to investigate TFH cells and their subsets to evaluate their involvement with B cell alteration in SSc. METHOD Circulating TFH cells (cTFH), B cells and their subsets were assessed by flow cytometry. The concentration of serum cytokines was measured by cytokine array assay. Immunohistochemistry and IF were performed to evaluate the migration of TFH cells in SSc skin lesions. RESULTS The proportion of cTFH cells did not differ from controls, but their subsets were imbalanced in SSc patients. The frequency of TFH 1 was increased and correlated with ACA titre, serum IgM or CRP levels of patients, and cytokine concentrations of IL-21 and IL-6 that induce B cell differentiation in SSc. cTFH cells from SSc showed activated phenotype with expressing higher cytokine levels compared with controls. The frequency of TFH 17 was also increased, but was not correlated with a high level of Th17 cytokines in patients' sera. Furthermore, infiltration of TFH cells was found in skin lesion of SSc patients. CONCLUSION We here describe an imbalance of cTFH toward TFH 1 that may induce B cell alteration through IL-21 and IL-6 pathways and promote inflammation, contributing to the pathogenesis of SSc disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Palisaded neutrophilic and granulomatous dermatitis (PNGD) is a commonly occurring condition related to systemic autoimmune disease. It is characterized histopathologically by a distinct pattern of granulomatous inflammation in the presence or absence of leukocytoclastic vasculitis. The properties of granulomatous cells in PNGD are still uncertain. OBJECTIVE We sought further investigation on the phenotype of the infiltrated cells in PNGD from two patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and reviewed the previous published reports in order to provide a comprehensive summary on the clinical features of PNGD in SLE. METHODS The immunohistochemical features of granulomatous cells in PNGD associated with SLE were analyzed. Immunohistochemical studies were performed on sections from our two cases using antibodies against CD68, CD163, CD15, Factor XIIIa, myeloperoxidase and neutrophil elastase. The clinical characteristics of the SLE patients who developed PNGD were also evaluated. We included all cases retrieved through a PubMed search with the key words PNGD and SLE. RESULTS Cutaneous lesions consisted of erythematous plaques distributed on the face and upper limbs in both cases. The infiltrated cells were mainly positive for CD68 and CD163, a phenotype suggestive of M2 macrophages. Some mature neutrophils and lymphocytes were also present. A review of the literature of PNGD associated with SLE revealed a predominance in females, high prevalence of lupus nephritis and a good response to systemic steroids, with frequent skin lesions relapses during tapering of the treatment. LIMITATIONS This study examined only two cases; the pathogenesis of the disease remains to be clarified. CONCLUSION PNGD lesions were abundantly infiltrated by M2 macrophages, suggesting that they may have a role in this condition. SLE accompanied by PNGD might be associated with lupus nephritis and frequent relapses of skin lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sarcoidosis is a systemic disorder characterized by the accumulation of lymphocytes and monocyte/macrophage lineage cells that results in the formation of non-caseating granulomas. Thymus- and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC)/CCL17 is an important chemokine in the amplification of Th2 responses, which are achieved by recruiting CCR4-expressing CD4+ T lymphocytes. TARC concentrations are known to increase in the serum of sarcoidosis patients; however, its role in the assessment of severity and prognosis of sarcoidosis remains unknown. The objective of this study is to elucidate the role of TARC in sarcoidosis by investigating its expression in peripheral blood and at inflammatory sites. We also examined its relationship with clinical features. METHODS Serum levels of TARC, soluble interleukin 2 receptor, angiotensin-converting enzyme, and lysozyme were measured in 82 sarcoidosis patients. The Th1 and Th2 balance in circulating CD4+ T cells was evaluated by flow cytometry. The immunohistochemical staining of TARC and CCR4 was performed in order to identify the source of TARC in affected skin tissues. RESULTS TARC serum levels were elevated in 78% of patients and correlated with disease severity. The percentage of CCR4+ cells and the CCR4+/CXCR3+ cell ratios were significantly higher in sarcoidosis patients than in normal subjects (P = 0.002 and P = 0.015, respectively). Moreover, TARC was expressed by monocyte/macrophage lineage cells within granulomas. The abundancy as well as distribution of TARC staining correlated with its serum levels. CONCLUSIONS The present results suggest that elevations in TARC drive an imbalanced Th2- weighted immune reaction and might facilitate prolonged inflammatory reactions in sarcoidosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The number of intermediate monocytes (CD14++CD16+) increases in many inflammatory conditions. However, it is not yet known which functional markers expressed by these populations are linked to the pathogenesis of psoriasis. OBJECTIVES We evaluated the expression of functional markers on circulating intermediate monocytes. Our goal was to correlate specific populations and their markers with the clinical severity of psoriasis. METHODS A cohort of 43 psoriatic patients was subjected to analysis. The proportion of intermediate monocytes with CD86 expression was evaluated by flow cytometry. Serum beta defensin-2 levels were measured by ELISA. Immunofluorescent staining was performed in order to identify the presence of CD14+CD16+ cells that co-expressed CD86 in affected skin tissues. RESULTS Upregulated expression of CD86 on the intermediate subset (but not the number of intermediate monocytes) correlated with clinical severity as measured by PASI scores and serum beta defensin-2 levels. Immunostaining also showed the presence of CD86+CD14+CD16+ cells in the epidermis and dermis of psoriatic plaques, which was associated with increased epidermal proliferation. CONCLUSION These results suggest that the expression of CD86 on circulating intermediate monocytes could be used as an index in clinical practice and provide novel insights into how these cells join a complex immune network under the pathological conditions of psoriasis.
