Allogeneic stem cells derived from umbilical cord tissue, placenta, and umbilical cord blood have shown potential in treating delayed systemic aging and aging-related diseases. Aging induces cellular senescence, oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, and stem cell depletion, all of which contribute to tissue damage and functional decline. Recent advances in regenerative medicine suggest that allogeneic stem cells can mitigate these aging processes through immunomodulation and tissue regeneration. In particular, umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells have gained attention for clinical applications owing to their strong immunomodulatory properties and low immunogenicity. These cells can repair damaged tissues and enhance metabolic and cognitive function by secreting various cytokines, growth factors, and exosomes, offering potential treatment for aging-related conditions such as osteoporosis and neurodegenerative disorders. Both clinical and preclinical studies indicate that allogeneic stem cells play a critical role in alleviating these diseases, including osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, cardiovascular diseases, and neurodegenerative disorders. Despite their therapeutic potential, challenges remain, such as immune compatibility, long-term safety, and the lack of standardized protocols for large-scale production. This review outlines the biological mechanisms by which allogeneic stem cells contribute to delayed aging, summarizes current clinical research, and explores future prospects. Allogeneic stem cells may offer novel strategies for delaying aging and extending lifespan.

Non-thrombotic pulmonary embolism (NTPE) is a rare but potentially fatal complication of filler injections. It can result not only from direct intravascular injection but also from the migration of fillers into veins due to local pressure. Here, we report the autopsy findings of two deaths resulting from NTPE following vaginal filler injections. The first case involved a 38-year-old woman who lost consciousness 20-40 minutes after receiving an injection of 15 mL of hyaluronic acid (HA) filler. A large amount of filler was observed in the vagina with gross embolization of the paravaginal vessels. Microscopic examination revealed HA embolism in the lungs. Despite treatment, the patient died 10 days after the procedure. The second case involved a 35-year-old woman who experienced desaturation and cardiac arrest 4 minutes after receiving a collagen filler and a hybrid filler consisting of HA and polylactic acid. An autopsy revealed NTPE and systemic embolism of the collagen filler. She died 1 month after treatment in the intensive care unit. The vagina poses a significant risk for filler injections owing to its rich venous plexus. Doctors should be fully aware of this risk, and a complete autopsy should be performed in such cases.

Suicide is a major public health concern worldwide, and various mental and physical illnesses are known to be associated with suicidal behavior. This study aimed to review the literature on the association between dermatological conditions and suicidal behavior—including suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, and suicidedeath—and to explore the potential mechanisms by which dermatologic disorders may influence suicidal behav-ior. Numerous studies suggest that major dermatologic disorders such as acne, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and hidradenitis suppurativa may increase the risk of suicidal behavior. However, most of these studies are crosssectional or case-control in design, limiting the ability to draw causal inferences. Moreover, inconsistencies in measurements of suicidal behavior across studies hinder the interpretation of results. Dermatological conditions are hypothesized to affect suicidal behavior through comorbid psychiatric disorders (such as depression and anxiety), sleep disturbances, psychological distress related to appearance, impaired social and occupationalfunctioning, dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, and neuroinflammation. Further researchis needed to validate these proposed mechanisms empirically. For effective suicide prevention in dermatology patients, it is essential not only to treat the skin condition itself but also to assess and support mental health, screen for suicide risk, and ensure collaboration with mental health professionals.

Purpose: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) dementia may not be a single disease entity. Early-onset AD (EOAD) and late-onset AD (LOAD) have been united under the same eponym of AD until now, but disentangling the heterogeneity according to the age of sonset has been a major tenet in the field of AD research. Materials and Methods: Ninety-nine patients with AD (EOAD, n=54; LOAD, n=45) and 66 cognitively normal controls completed both [18F]THK5351 and [18F]flutemetamol (FLUTE) positron emission tomography scans along with structural magnetic resonance imaging and detailed neuropsychological tests. Results: EOAD patients had higher THK retention in the precuneus, parietal, and frontal lobe, while LOAD patients had higher THK retention in the medial temporal lobe. Intravoxel correlation analyses revealed that EOAD presented narrower territory of local FLUTE-THK correlation, while LOAD presented broader territory of correlation extending to overall parieto-occipito-temporal regions. EOAD patients had broader brain areas which showed significant negative correlations between cortical thickness and THK retention, whereas in LOAD, only limited brain areas showed significant correlation with THK retention. In EOAD, most of the cognitive test results were correlated with THK retention. However, a few cognitive test results were correlated with THK retention in LOAD. Conclusion LOAD seemed to show gradual increase in tau and amyloid, and those two pathologies have association to each other. On the other hand, in EOAD, tau and amyloid may develop more abruptly and independently. These findings suggest LOAD and EOAD may have different courses of pathomechanism.
