March 2022 in “Medicine” A 31-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) experienced unilateral branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) in her left eye, leading to sudden vision loss and macular edema. Initial treatments were ineffective, but systemic SLE treatment with methylprednisolone and mycophenolate mofetil restored her vision to 20/20 and reduced macular edema. This case underscores the rarity of BRAO as a primary manifestation of SLE retinopathy and the importance of considering SLE in patients with unexplained retinal vascular occlusions. The patient had no vision loss or recurrence over a one-year follow-up, highlighting the potential of systemic immunotherapy in treating SLE retinopathy.

May 2023 in “Karnataka Pediatric Journal” An 8-year-old girl was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) after presenting with symptoms including abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, alopecia, oral ulceration, and glossitis. Elevated serum amylase and lipase levels confirmed pancreatitis, while other tests confirmed SLE. Treatment with glucocorticoids and immunosuppressive therapy led to an improvement in her condition. SLE-related pancreatitis is rare but severe in children, with high mortality if untreated. Early diagnosis and aggressive treatment are crucial. The patient is now stable and in remission with regular follow-up.

November 2022 in “Journal of Nanobiotechnology” This study developed a scalable and high-throughput method for producing an injectable composite system combining platelet-rich plasma (PRP), cell-laden microcarriers, and hydrogels for hair follicle (HF) tissue engineering. The system, tested both in vitro and in vivo, significantly enhanced dermal papilla cell (DPC) proliferation, migration, and HF regeneration. In vivo experiments on mice showed that PRP-loaded microcarriers accelerated hair cycle transition and increased new hair follicle formation, with ~35 HFs and ~12 vessels per site. The findings suggest that this composite system could be a promising approach for treating hair loss and promoting hair growth through sustained release of growth factors and a conducive microenvironment.

January 2022 in “International Journal of Trichology” The study evaluated the efficacy of minoxidil, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, and their combination in treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in 69 men. Participants were divided into three groups: 25 received both minoxidil and PRP, 22 received only PRP, and 22 received only minoxidil. Results showed that the combination therapy significantly improved hair density by 32%, hair shaft diameter by 26%, reduced vellus hair by 30%, and decreased telogen hair by 39%, outperforming the monotherapies. The findings suggest that PRP and minoxidil enhance each other's effects, making their combined use a promising treatment for AGA.
