    Notes: Summary DNA-ploidy in primary cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas which had developed from different preceding clinical lesions was examined by flow cytometry using paraffin-embedded blocks. DNA-aneuploidy was detected in none of 15 squamous cell carcinomas arising from a burn scar. On the other hand. 12 of 26 squamous cell carcinomas arising from sun-damaged skin in the elderly, and two of four arising from chronic radiodermatitis, showed aneuploid patterns. A significantly higher incidence of DNA-aneuploidy was observed in squamous cell carcinomas arising from sun-damaged skin than those from a burn scar (P 〈 0.01): the mean diameter size of the former was significantly smaller than that of the latter (P 〈 0.0001). The mean age of patients with aneuploid tumours (74·2 ± 9·2: years ± standard deviation (SD)) was significantly higher than that with diploid tumours (64·1 ± 13·8) (P 〈 0〈01).

    Notes: Background: The symptoms of a 56-year-old man with systemic mastocytosis became worse with exposure to sunlight. We evaluated mast-cell-derived mediators and cytokines before and after exposure to ultraviolet light in the patient. Methods: The patient was irradiated with middle-wave ultraviolet light, so-called ultraviolet light B, and the levels of mediators and cytokines were measured serially. The point mutation Asp816Val in c-kit was investigated by analyzing polymerase chain reaction products from the complementary DNA of peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Results: Before irradiation, the levels of mast-cell-derived mediators and metabolites were elevated. Among various cytokines measured, including soluble c-kit and stem cell factor, only the level of nerve growth factor was elevated. After irradiation, the nerve growth factor level was further increased along with the levels of mast-cell-derived mediators and metabolites. The point mutation Asp816Val in c-kit was not detected in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Conclusions: Middle-wave ultraviolet light may activate mast cells to release nerve growth factor and mediators in systemic mastocytosis.

    Notes: KleinJan et al, (Allergy 1996;51:614-20) reported that Carnoy's fixative reduced the number of chymase-positive mast cells in the nasal mucosa. Therefore, in the present study, we investigated whether Carnoy's fixative reduces the number of chymase-positive cells from cord-blood-derived human cultured mast cells when compared with other types of fixatives. Human mast cells were obtained by culturing cord-blood-derived CD34-positive cells in the presence of stem cell factor and interleukin-6. Staining procedures of the cells in fixation with Carnoy's fixative and with other fixatives gave no differences among the number of tryptase-positive cells, whereas fixation with Carnoy's fixative for 15 min gave a significant decrease i n the number of chymase-positive cells compared with acetone for 10 min. The number of chymase-positive cells decreased in a time-dependent manner under fixation with Carnoy's fixative, indicating that Carnoy's fixative had a negative effect on the number of chymase-positive cells from cord-blood derived human cultured mast cells.

    Notes: Rat peritoneal mast cells purified on a Percoll gradient were loaded with the fluorescent Ca2+ indicator fura-2 and were challenged with different concentrations of substance P (SP), and intracellular calcium concentrations ([Ca2+]i) were measured by a spectrofluorometric assay. SP at 5 × 10−6 mol/1 and 10−5 mol/1 caused a significant histamine release with a significant increase in [Ca2+]i in a dose-dependent manner. However, SP at 10−8-10−6 mol/1 did not induce either histamine release or increase in [Ca2+]i. Extracellular calcium at 0.9 mM inhibited the histamine release with a significant reduction of [Ca2+]i compared with that of the cells in a nominally calcium-free condition. These results indicate that the action of SP on rat mast cells relies upon [Ca2+]i to induce histamine release.

    Notes: Background The mtist cell is one of the important cells In the pathogenesis of allergic disorders. However, isolating human mast cells is a laborious procedure. Recently, cultured human mast cells raised from umbilical cord blood cells have become available. It is necessary to examine whether these cells are useful in investigating the role of mast cells in human diseases.Objective The phenotype of mast cells depends on their anatomical sites. To examine which phetiotype of mast cells these cultured mast cells most closely resemble, their ability to release was investigated.Methods The mast cells were raised from human umbilical cord blood cells in the presence of stem cell factor and interIeukin-6. To determine the mast cell subtypes, the mast cells were immunocytochemically stained for tryptase and chymase. The cultured mast cells were then stimulated with various secretagogues, and histamine release was measured by a fluorometric technique using high-performance liquid chromatography. Results The immunocytochemical staining for mast cell proteases revealed that virtually all cells contained tryptase, the definitive marker of mast cells, and that about a quarter of the cells contained chymase. Anti-TgE effectively stimulated these mast cells to release histamine in a dose-dependent, lime-dependent manner. The release was completed in about 30 min. One of the non-specific stimuli, calcium ionophore A23I87. also induced histamine release in a dose-dependent, time-dependent manner. In contrast, compound 48/80 and substance P failed to induce histamine release from these cells. Conclusion Cultured human mast cells resemble lung mast cells in their ability to release histamine. They will help in studying the functional properties of human mast cells and may contribute to clarifying the pathophysiology of human allergic diseases.

    Notes: Background Ultraviolet light irradiation has been shown to suppress immunological reactions of irradiated individuals, however, less attention has been paid to the effects on neurogenic inflammation.Objective We have investigated the effect of ultraviolet light B (UVB) irradiation on substance P (SP)-induced histamine release from rat mast cells.Methods Rat peritoneal mast cells were treated with UVB irradiation and challenged by SP. Histamine release from the cells and intracellular calcium concentrations ([Ca2+]i) in the cells were measured.Results UVB irradiation at doses used in the present study did not induce histamine release from mast cells. UVB irradiation at doses from 25 to 200mJ/cm2 inhibited 10–5mol/L SP-induced histamine release in a dose-dependent manner. On the other hand, SP-induced increase of [Ca2+]i was inhibited by UVB irradiation only at doses of 100 and 200 mJ/cm2.Conclusion These data suggest that UVB irradiation inhibits histamine release from SP-activated rat peritoneal mast cells partially through the suppression of an increase in [Ca2+]i.

    Notes: Summary A 52-year-old man with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma presented with Sezary syndrome-like features including exfoliative erythroderma, lymphadenopathy and leukaemic change without the presence of Sezary cells. Southern blot hybridization analysis revealed T-cell receptor β-chain gene rearrange-ments, both in the peripheral blood and in the lymph node. Atypical large cells with convoluted nuclei (Sezary-like cells) first appeared during combined chemotherapy. Although Sezary syndrome is characterized by its particular manifestations and the presence of Sezary cells in the peripheral blood, the clinical significance of Sezary cells has been questioned. It still needs to be decided whether or not the Sezary cell is malignant.

    Notes: Summary Autoimmune bullous diseases, such as bullous pemphigoid or pemphigus vulgaris. occasionally develop in psoriatic patients. In addition, a novel subepidermal bullous disease with autoantibodies against a lower lamina lucida antigen of 200kDa has recently been reported in association with psoriasis. We describe here a patient with psoriasis vulgaris who developed epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA). Direct immunofluorescence revealed linear deposition of IgCl and C3 at the basement membrane zone. The patient's serum bound to the dermal side of salt-split normal human skin. However, immnumohlol analysis demonstrated that the patient's serum reacted with an EBA antigen of 290 kDa. EBA should be included in the list of autoimmune diseases associated with psoriasis vulgaris.
