INTRODUCTION Alopecia areata (AA) is an autoimmune disease induced by viral infection or vaccination. With the increased incidence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the incidence of AA has also increased. Recently the incidence was found to be 7.8% from a previously reported rate of 2.1%. The physical and psychological damage caused by AA could seriously affect patients' lives, while AA is a challenging dermatological disease owing to its complex pathogenesis. AREAS COVERED This paper presents a comprehensive review of the prevalence, pathogenesis and potential therapeutic targets for AA after infection with SARS-CoV-2 or SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. EXPERT OPINION The treatment of AA remains challenging because of the complexity of its pathogenesis. For patients with AA after SARS-CoV-2 infection or vaccination, the use of sex hormones and alternative regenerative therapies may be actively considered in addition to conventional treatments. For preexisting disease, therapeutic agents should be adjusted to the patient's specific condition.
简介:斑秃(AA)是一种由病毒感染或疫苗接种诱发的自身免疫性疾病。随着严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒 2(SARS-CoV-2)发病率的增加,AA 的发病率也随之增加。最近发现,发病率从以前报告的 2.1%上升到 7.8%。本文全面综述了感染 SARS-CoV-2 或 SARS-CoV-2 疫苗后 AA 的发病率、发病机理和潜在治疗目标。专家观点由于 AA 的发病机理复杂,其治疗仍具有挑战性。对于感染 SARS-CoV-2 或接种 SARS-CoV-2 疫苗后的 AA 患者,除常规治疗外,还可积极考虑使用性激素和其他再生疗法。对于原有疾病,应根据患者的具体情况调整治疗药物。

INTRODUCTION The phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) pathway is a crucial intracellular signaling pathway involved in cell growth, proliferation, survival, and metabolism, which is aberrant in almost all types of cancer. Extensive research is dedicated to elucidating the mechanisms of action and developing PI3K inhibitors. However, only a small portion of the research has been successfully translated into clinical applications. AREAS COVERED In this review, we present an overview of the pivotal role that the PI3K pathway plays in tumor development. We discuss the current landscape of PI3K inhibitors in preclinical and clinical trials, address the mechanisms of resistance to PI3K inhibition along with their associated toxic effects, and highlight significant advancements in preclinical research of this field. EXPERT OPINION Based on our study and comprehension of PI3K, we provide a recapitulation of the key lessons learned from the research process and propose potential measures for improvement that could prove valuable.

Introduction: Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a group of acute immune-mediated disorders in the peripheral nervous system. Both infectious and noninfectious factors are associated with GBS, which may act as triggers of autoimmune responses leading to neural damage and dysfunction.
Areas covered: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and its vaccines as well as flaviviruses have been associated with GBS, although a robust conclusion has yet to be reached. Immunomodulatory treatments, including intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIg) and plasma exchange (PE), have long been the first-line therapies for GBS. Depending on GBS subtype and severity at initial presentation, the efficacy of IVIg and PE can be variable. Several new therapies showing benefits to experimental animals merit further investigation before translation into clinical practice. We review the state-of-the-art knowledge on the immunopathogenesis of GBS in the context of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Immunomodulatory therapies in GBS, including IVIg, PE, corticosteroids, and potential therapies, are summarized.
Expert opinion: The association with SARS-CoV-2 remains uncertain, with geographical differences that are difficult to explain. Evidence and guidelines are lacking for the decision-making of initiating immunomodulatory therapies in mildly affected patients or patients with regional subtypes of GBS.
