There is an increasing number of experimental, genetic and clinical evidence of atopic dermatitis expression as a pre-condition for later development of other atopic diseases such as asthma, food allergy and allergic rhinitis. Atopic dermatitis is a heterogeneous, recurrent childhood disease, also present in the adult age. It is increasingly attributed to systemic features and is characterized by immunological and skin barrier integrity and function dysregulation. To maintain the protective function of the skin barrier, in particular the maintenance of pH, hydration and antimicrobial functions, the filaggrin, among others, plays a significant role. Filaggrin is a multifunctional, histidine-rich, insoluble protein. The lack of filaggrin is associated with various cutaneous (e.g. ichthyosis vulgaris, allergic contact dermatitis) and non-cutaneous (e.g. diabetes, inflammatory conditions of the gastrointestinal tract) diseases and may be a result of genetic, immunological factors combined with environmental factors. In this review we summarised (emphasized) recent findings in understanding the role of filaggrin in atopic dermatitis and other diseases, participants in the atopic march.

The aim of the study. To determine the role of genetic polymorphism in the filaggrin gene R501XAA and 2282de4AA at atopic march progression in children. Materials and methods. 111 children aged 3 to 12 years with atopic dermatitis were selected and examined. As a result of genetic testing, it was found that 51 children with atopic dermatitis had polymorphism in the filaggrin gene. These patients were included in the main group. Another 60 children without polymorphism were in the control group. The filaggrin gene polymorphism was determined by examining the buccal epithelium by Dellaporta method. Sensitization to allergens was established on the basis of the specific IgE level. The impact of the disease on the quality of life of children was performed using the CDLQI questionnaire (Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index). Results. In the course of molecular genetics research, R501X mutation was detected in 40 ((78.4 ± 5.76)%) children, 2282del4 polymorphism – in 4 ((7.8 ± 3.76)%) patients, and their combined variant R501X + 2282del4 – in 7 (13%), (7 ± 4.81)% patients. When determining the effect of filaggrin polymorphism on the clinical course of atopic dermatitis, the presence of the associative relationship was established with the following indicators: the early onset of the disease – χ2 = 33.2, mostly severe course – χ2 = 16.2, severe skin dryness – χ2 = 22.6, predominant sensitization to fungi – χ2 = 10.6 and house dust mites – χ2 = 12.2, violation of the skin microbiome – χ2 = 7.8. Conclusions. Early manifestation of atopic dermatitis in children is associated with the filaggrin protein gene polymorphism ((82.4 ± 5.33)%), which determines the risk of progression of the atopic march and the development of bronchial asthma in (38.0 ± 6.8)% of children.

An increasing morbidity of atopic diseases (atopic dermatitis, food allergy, asthma and allergic rhinitis) documented in large cohort epidemiological studies is at least partially determined by high hygienic standards of living. Over the last 40 years, the accepted concept of pathogenesis of atopic diseases, the so-called atopic march, was proposed by Fouchard in 1973. It referred to the natural history of atopy manifestation, with a typical sequence of symptoms presented as atopic dermatitis in early childhood for subsequent development of allergic respiratory symptoms in late childhood and adolescence. New data suggests that the leading role of atopic dermatitis in atopic march might be less pronounced than previously expected, indicating coexistence rather than succession of atopic symptoms. The objective of this paper is to present the currently discussed concepts of atopic dermatitis – its pathogenesis, etiology, course and role in the development of other allergic diseases. More widely, we will present: 1. The genetic factors involved in skin barrier disruption with the leading role of loss-of-function gene for filaggrin mutation, 2. Genetic defects and epigenetic regulation of the immune system 3. Epidermal changes with physical barrier dysfunction as well as 4. Skin microbiome disturbances with Staphylococcus aureus colonization leading to abnormalities of the epidermal protective barrier.

AbstractWhitehouse adapts insights from evolutionary anthropology to interpret extreme self-sacrifice through the concept of identity fusion. The model neglects the role of normative systems in shaping behaviors, especially in relation to violent extremism. In peaceful groups, increasing fusion will actually decrease extremism. Groups collectively appraise threats and opportunities, actively debate action options, and rarely choose violence toward self or others.

AbstractIntuitions guide decision-making, and looking to the evolutionary history of humans illuminates why some behavioral responses are more intuitive than others. Yet a place remains for cognitive processes to second-guess intuitive responses – that is, to be reflective – and individual differences abound in automatic, intuitive processing as well.

Abstract Tomasello offers a compelling account of the emergence of humans’ sense of obligation. We suggest that more needs to be said about the role of affect in the creation of obligations. We also argue that positive emotions such as gratitude evolved to encourage individuals to fulfill cooperative obligations without the negative quality that Tomasello proposes is inherent in obligations.
