I wish this forum a complete success.

Professor Yang Xiumin, standing member of the Dermatology Branch and Beijing Tongren Hospital, first discussed the application characteristics of biological agents in atopic dermatitis. In the case of the lack of efficacy and high adverse reactions of traditional system treatment, the new biologics can effectively and stably restore the skin barrier function of patients with atopic dermatitis, thereby relieving pruritus and restoring the homeostasis of the epidermal flora of patients, with little safety concerns, rapid first dose and stable long-term efficacy. Professor Zhang Guoqiang, Director General of the Dermatology Branch and the First Hospital of Hebei Medical University, explained in detail how to conduct comprehensive and efficient patient education for patients with atopic dermatitis. A professional team of healthcare professionals (TPE) can not only provide patients with scientific explanations and active follow-up, but also help patients set individual goals. The optimal solution of information transmission can only be achieved by combining the Internet platform and mobile terminal with various modes of education. Professor Zhang Haihong of Beijing Huairou Hospital introduced in depth the long-term management methods of elderly patients with atopic dermatitis, and the long-term application of biological agents has a low infection rate and a high response rate, so it has a broad application prospect. Finally, Professor Li Jingfeng from Beijing Friendship Hospital introduced the history of human cognitive development of eczema and atopic dermatitis in a simple way and shared 2 wonderful cases of atopic dermatitis treatment, suggesting that doctors need to strengthen observation of biological agents in practical application and have the courage to try on the standard of standardized use.

  The expert discussion session summarized the course characteristics of atopic dermatitis, shared the management experience of patients with chronic disease course, and affirmed the long-term stable efficacy of biologics for atopic dermatitis. Finally, Professor Lian Shi, honorary President of the Dermatology Branch of the Chinese Geriatric Society, affirmed the high-level academic interaction of this forum and looked forward to the wonderful activities to be launched by the branch in 2023.
