ABSTRACT

Introduction:

The human skin acts as a pro‑ tective barrier against external pathogens and hosts a diverse microbiome consisting of bacte‑ ria, fungi, viruses, and archaea. Disruptions to the skin microbiome can impact immune func‑ tion, leading to inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. The importance of pH for the micro‑ biome is paramount. Cosmetic skincare prod‑ ucts interact with the skin microbiome and skin pH, playing a key role in maintaining microbial balance. Research suggests that products with non-physiological pH levels may disrupt the skin microbiota. Our clinical study aimed to evaluate the effects of low-pH cosmetic products (pH<5) on the skin microbiome, contributing to improved skin health.

Methods: The clinical study focused on evalu‑

ating the skin microbiome diversity following

the application for 28 days of four different low

pH cosmetic products (vitamin C, resveratrol, a

collagen mask, and a native algae mask) on the

forearms of post-menopausal women with skin

pH>5.5.

Results:

The diversity of the natural skin microbiome increased consistently through‑ out the study, evident in both the untreated area and after the application of the Vitamin C Concentrate, Resveratrol Concentrate, Colla‑ gen Mask, and Native Algae Mask, as indicated by Shannon’s diversity index. The native algae mask notably reduced the Corynebacterium genus and significantly lowered the pH. The skin pH changes corresponded with microbiota stability.

Conclusions:

In conclusion, enhanced diver‑ sity of the natural skin microbiome was observed over the study duration. None of the investi‑ gational products caused significant disruption to the skin microbiome diversity, as evidenced by the stable Shannon’s diversity index and relative abundance of specific genera. Notably, the native algae mask significantly decreased the presence of the opportunistic pathogenic Corynebacterium genus, which is likely attribut‑ able to a minor reduction in skin pH following extended product use. The findings suggest that the use of low-pH skincare products, like the native algae mask, do not disrupt skin micro‑ biome diversity and may have the potential to positively impact skin microbiome diversity and health by reducing certain pathogenic microbial

Key Summary Points

Why carry out this study?

This study investigated the intricate relation‑ ship between cosmetic skincare products, the skin microbiome, and skin health. It evaluated the impact of low-pH skincare products on skin microbiome diversity and skin barrier function.

What was learned from this study?

The diversity of the skin microbiome increased following the application of vita‑ min C concentrate, resveratrol concentrate, a collagen mask, and a native algae mask, as demonstrated by Shannon’s diversity index. The native algae mask notably decreased the genus Corynebacterium and lowered the pH, with the pH changes aligning with micro‑ biota stability. Low-pH skincare products maintain skin microbiome diversity and health by reducing pathogenic microbial populations, promot‑ ing a positive impact on skin microbiome health.

Abstract

Objective To construct a model for predicting the risk of IAPI (Intraoperative acquired pressure injury) in the facial area of patients undergoing prone position surgery and to validate the predictive effectiveness of this model.

Methods We analyzed data from 970 patients who underwent prone position surgery at a tertiary general hospital in Chongqing, China, from January 2022 to October 2022. Using univariate analysis and logistic regression analysis, we identified risk factors for IAPI in the maxillofacial region of patients undergoing prone position surgery and constructed a nomogram prediction model using R software. On the basis of the selected predictive factors, a risk prediction model was constructed and evaluated using the concordance index (C-index) and the area under the curve (AUC). External validation was conducted to verify the model’s performance.

Results The incidence of IAPI in prone surgery patients was 17.8%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that BMI, history of diabetes, surgical duration, muscle relaxant dosage, history of allergies, and preoperative Braden score were the most important factors for the occurrence of intraoperative pressure injuries in the facial region of patients who underwent prone position surgery (P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve of the prediction model is 0.863, the maximum Youden index is 0.681, the optimal cutoff value is 0.214, the sensitivity is 0.815, the specificity is 0.866, and the accuracy in actual application is 91.1%.

Conclusions The IAPI risk prediction model for maxillofacial surgery patients in the prone position constructed in this study demonstrated good predictive performance, providing a basis for clinical medical staff to quickly identify high risk patients and implement precise intervention plans before surgery.

Abstract

Background Early cardiac damage is very common in RA patients, but it is usually subclinical. Therefore, finding a non invasive method for the early detection and treatment of cardiac damage in autoimmune diseases is particularly important.

Objective To evaluate left ventricular function changes in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) using left ventricular pressure-strain loop (LV-PSL) technology and to explore the correlation between myocardial work (MW) and disease activity.

Methods A total of 62 RA patients with preserved LVEF, treated at Wujin Hospital Affiliated with Jiangsu University from January 2021 to September 2023, were included. Patients were categorized into low (25), medium (18), and high (19) disease activity groups based on the 28 joint disease activity score (DAS28). A control group of 29 healthy individuals was also established. LV-PSL technology assessed left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) and MW parameters: global constructive work (GCW), global wasted work (GWW), global work index (GWI), and global work efficiency (GWE). Cor relations between MW parameters, GLS, LVEF, and DAS28 scores were analyzed.

Results There were no significant differences in general data between study and control groups (p>0.05). However, labora tory indicators (RF, CRP, ESR) showed significant differences (p<0.05). GWI, GCW, GWE, and GLS were significantly lower in the high disease activity group compared to controls (p<0.05). GWI, GCW, and GWE were positively correlated with LVEF and absolute GLS, while GWW correlated negatively with LVEF (p<0.05).

Conclusion RA disease activity is closely associated with impaired myocardial work. LV-PSL technology effectively moni tors myocardial function abnormalities in RA patients, providing valuable insights for clinical management.

Key PointsMyocardial work is significantly impaired in RA patients with high disease activity. Left ventricular pressure-strain loop (LV-PSL) technology effectively assesses cardiac function in this patient population. Increased disease activity correlates with reduced myocardial work parameters.
