The SPIN works in close collaboration with National Representatives, gathering the representatives of the national psoriasis groups who participate to the network. We currently surveying in order to include key opinion leaders on atopic dermatitis at the national level.
SPIN National Representatives are in a privileged position to relay the information about SPIN’s projects, surveys and events at the national level. They have kindly accepted to be the national contact for all kind of collaborations, especially to promote the development of the network’s activities and the exchanges on psoriasis and atopic dermatitis all around the world. Each representative is responsible for the coordination of international collaborations between his or her country and the others, and of course for the participation to the projects around psoriasis and atopic dermatitis at the national level.
SPIN National Representatives will be solicited for input in the organisation of the scientific programme of the SPIN Congress taking place every three years. During the Congress, the National Representatives shall meet to foresee the next Congress and to choose the national or regional group that will be responsible for the scientific organisation of the following Congress.

Recent publications on Psoriasis and Atopic Dermatitis
on Psoriasis
Increased risk of developing Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis in 17 018 patients while under treatment with anti-TNFα agents, particularly etanercept, for autoimmune diseases other than inflammatory bowel disease.
Aliment. Pharmacol. Ther..
2019 Aug , 50, (3):289-294.
Anti-TNFα agents have revolutionised management of chronic inflammatory diseases. Paradoxically, these agents might provoke development of de novo autoimmune diseases.

Ginsenoside compound K ameliorates imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like dermatitis through inhibiting REG3A/RegIIIγ expression in keratinocytes.
Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun..
2019 Aug 06, 515, (4):665-671.
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by keratinocyte hyperproliferation. Ginsenoside compound K (CK), a bioactive metabolite of ginseng, modulates various skin disorders with an impact on keratinocyte biology. However, the effect of Ginsenoside CK in psoriasis has not been explored.

A vivid cytokines interaction model on psoriasis with the effect of impulse biologic (TNF-α inhibitor) therapy.
J. Theor. Biol..
2019 Aug 07, 474:63-77.
Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that produces plaques of condensed, scaling skin due to excessively rapid proliferation of keratinocytes. During the disease progression, keratinocyte proliferation is influenced by many immune cells and cytokines. This article deals with a five dimensional deterministic model, which has been derived using quasi-steady-state approximation for describing the dynamics of psoriasis in various cytokines environment. Equilibrium analysis of the system shows (...)

Gardenia jasminoides extract without crocin improved atopic dermatitis-like skin lesions via suppression of Th2-related cytokines in Dfe-induced NC/Nga mice.
J Ethnopharmacol.
2019 Sep 15, 241:112015.
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a pruritic, chronic, relapsing inflammatory skin disease. Gardenia jasminoides extract (GJE) has been used as a traditional remedy for the treatment of various inflammatory diseases, including AD. The specific effects of the extract components, which include crocin, geniposidic acid, and gardenoside, on inflammatory responses in AD are not entirely (...)

Effect of cinnamamides on atopic dermatitis through regulation of IL-4 in CD4 cells.
Choi EJ et al.
Effect of cinnamamides on atopic dermatitis through regulation of IL-4 in CD4 cells.
J Enzyme Inhib Med Chem.
2019 Dec , 34, (1):613-619.
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of cinnamamides on atopic dermatitis (AD) and the mechanisms underlying these effects. To this end, the actions of two cinnamamides, (E)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-N-phenylethyl acrylamide (NCT) and N-trans-coumaroyltyramine (NCPA), were determined on AD by orally administering them to mice. Oral administration of the cinnamamides ameliorated the increase in epidermal and dermal thickness as well as mast cell infiltration. Cinnamamides suppressed serum (...)
