【Abstract】 Cutaneous tuberculosis is a chronic infectious skin disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. It has various clinical manifestations and is difficult to be accurately diagnosed. Delayed diagnosis may lead to serious damage to the skin and soft tissues. The diagnosis of cutaneous tuberculosis requires a comprehensive assessment of clinical, pathological, and laboratory findings. A long‐course combination antibiotic therapy is commonly needed for the treatment of cutaneous tuberculosis, and early standardized diagnosis and treatment are the key to ensuring a good prognosis. This expert consensus was developed based on Chinese and international literature and guidelines on cutaneous tuberculosis and tuberculosis, aiming to standardize the diagnostic procedure and improve the treatment outcomes of cutaneous tuberculosis.

【Abstract】 Topical minoxidil has been applied to the treatment of androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in clinical practice for a long time, but some problems still exist, such as unsatisfactory efficacy or poor tolerance. Currently, oral minoxidil is only indicated as second- or third-line therapy for hypertension, but growing evidence has supported the off-label use of low-dose oral minoxidil for the treatment of AGA. This review summarizes possible mechanisms and clinical application of low-dose oral minoxidil in the treatment of AGA.

【Abstract】 Objective To investigate the epidemiological trends and spatio-temporal distribution characteristics of syphilis in China from 2010 to 2023. Methods Data on syphilis cases reported from 31 provinces, autonomous regions or municipalities from 2010 to 2023 were collected from the Infectious Diseases Surveillance System of Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. Joinpoint 5.2.0 software was used to analyze the epidemiological trends of syphilis, ArcGIS 10.5 software was used for spatial autocorrelation analysis at the county level, and SaTScan 10.2.3 software was used for space-time scan analysis. Results The national reported incidence rates of syphilis increased from 26.86 per 100 000 in 2010 to 37.60 per 100 000 in 2023, with an average annual percent change of 1.82% (95% CI: 0.81% - 2.89%), and the upward trend in the reported incidence rates was statistically significant (P = 0.002). There was a positive spatial autocorrelation in the reported incidence rates of syphilis at the county level in China (Moran's Ⅰ range: 0.47 - 0.60, all P < 0.001), and all of the Getis-Ord general test statistic Z(G)values were > 1.96, indicating a high-value clustering pattern in the reported incidence rates of syphilis. The local spatial autocorrelation analysis showed that the annual number of hotspot areas ranged from 180 to 294, which were mainly located in Xinjiang, Qinghai, Guizhou, Sichuan and Yunnan. A total of 92 spatio-temporal clusters were identified by space-time scan analysis, which were mainly distributed in Zhejiang, Guangxi, Guangdong and Fujian from 2010 to 2012, in Xinjiang from 2013 to 2017, and in Sichuan, Guizhou, Chongqing, etc., from 2019 to 2023. Conclusions From 2010 to 2023, the reported incidence rates of syphilis in China exhibited a fluctuating increase on the whole, with obvious spatio-temporal clustering characteristics. The hotspot areas were basically consistent with the spatio-temporal clusters, and were mainly distributed in the northwestern, southeastern coastal and southwestern areas. Over time, the spatio-temporal clusters gradually changed from the southeast coastal and northwestern areas to the southwestern areas.

【Abstract】 Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune subepidermal blistering skin disease that primarily affects the elderly. Clinically, it is characterized by tense blisters and bullae on the local or whole body skin, which can be life-threatening in some patients. The pathogenesis of BP is closely related to anti-BP180 and anti-BP230 antibodies, which cause BP through pathways such as complement activation systems and non-complement systems. This consensus covers clinical characteristics, diagnostic criteria, treatment options, and management of comorbidities associated with BP, with a particular emphasis on the importance of individualized treatment. In terms of diagnosis, a comprehensive approach integrating clinical manifestations, histopathological features, direct immunofluorescence and serological testing results is proposed to improve diagnostic accuracy. In terms of treatment, in addition to traditional glucocorticoids and immunosuppressive agents, new drugs such as biological agents are also recommended, and individualized treatment regimens are formulated according to the disease severity. Additionally, the consensus also pays attention to the management of BP-related comorbidities such as diabetes, kidney disease, and malignant tumors, providing comprehensive guidance for clinicians to improve the treatment outcomes and quality of life of BP patients.
