Psoriasis (PsO) is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis that often presents with erythematous, sharply demarcated lesions. Although psoriasis is primarily a dermatological disease, its immune-mediated pathogenesis produces systemic effects and is closely associated with various comorbid conditions such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), metabolic syndrome (MetS), and diabetes mellitus type II (DMII). Apremilast, an oral phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE-4) inhibitor, has shown promise in treating moderate-to-severe psoriasis and is associated with potential cardiometabolic benefits. In a 12-month prospective observational study involving 137 patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis, we assessed changes in psoriasis clinimetric scores and metabolic profiles from baseline (T0) to 52 weeks (T1) to evaluate the efficacy of apremilast. After 52 weeks of apremilast treatment, we documented a statistically significant decrease in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and total cholesterol, triglycerides, and glucose levels. Our findings even suggest a potential synergistic effect among patients treated with apremilast, alongside concomitant statin and/or insulin therapy. Although the results of our study must be validated on a larger scale, the use of apremilast in the treatment of psoriatic patients with cardio-metabolic comorbidities yields promising results.
银屑病(PsO)是一种慢性炎症性皮肤病,常表现为边界清晰的红斑性病变。虽然银屑病主要是一种皮肤病,但其免疫介导的发病机制会产生全身影响,并与多种合并症密切相关,如心血管疾病(CVD)、代谢综合征(MetS)和2型糖尿病(DMII)。阿普斯特,一种口服磷酸二酯酶4(PDE - 4)抑制剂,在治疗中度至重度银屑病方面显示出前景,并且与潜在的心脏代谢益处相关。在一项为期12个月的前瞻性观察研究中,纳入了137例中度至重度银屑病患者,我们评估了从基线(T0)到52周(T1)银屑病临床评分和代谢谱的变化,以评估阿普斯特的疗效。经过52周的阿普斯特治疗后,我们记录到低密度脂蛋白(LDL)、总胆固醇、甘油三酯和血糖水平有统计学意义的下降。我们的研究结果甚至表明,在接受阿普斯特治疗的患者中,与同时使用他汀类药物和/或胰岛素治疗可能存在协同作用。尽管我们研究的结果必须在更大规模上得到验证,但阿普斯特用于治疗伴有心脏代谢合并症的银屑病患者产生了有前景的结果。
