    Notes: Background  Ceramides produced by sphingomyelin hydrolysis activate a cycle that is followed by three different major cellular responses: downregulation of cell proliferation, induction of cell differentiation and apoptosis. In the skin, the generation of intracellular ceramide may also provide a link between an extracellular signal and the induction of the apoptosis programme for the elimination of damaged cells. Objectives We investigated the effect of ceramides capable of entering cells on cultured keratinocytes. Methods Human keratinocytes from neonatal skin were cultured in serum-free medium with or without increasing concentrations of ceramide 2 (CER-2; N-acetyl sphingosine) (5, 10, 20 and 40 µmol L−1). Proliferative effects were studied either by cell counts or by 3H-thymidine incorporation and flow cytometric analysis. Apoptosis was studied by TUNEL staining and Western blot analysis of Bcl-2 protein. Results Cell counts and DNA synthesis were reduced in a dose-dependent manner following CER-2 treatment. TUNEL staining showed CER-2-induced apoptosis at 48, 72 and 96 h. Western blot analysis showed that CER-2 induces downregulation of Bcl-2 at 24–96 h. Conclusions These results demonstrate that CER-2 inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis, possibly via a Bcl-2-dependent mechanism.

    Notes: Using 3 different ready-to-apply patch test systems (Epiquick®= EPI; Rapid Patch Test®= RPT; TRUE TestTM= TT), 316 patients sensitive to at least one allergen were studied in order to investigate the reproducibility of these tests in comparison with the Finn Chamber ®(FC) technique. Each patient was tested with a different ready-to-use system. Each test was compared to the same allergen applied with FC to either side of the upper back. Comparisons were made using EPI, RPT, and TT in 93 (183 tests), 119 (262 tests), and 104 (242 tests) patients respectively. When a positive test result occurred on only one side of the back, the concordance was defined as negative. Similarly, doubtful reactions on either side corresponding to positive or negative results were considered as non concordant. The concordance of positive reactions was 80.9% between the EPI and the FC technique, 77.5% between the RPT and the FC technique, and 72.3% between the TT and the FC technique. The frequency of questionable (+?) and irritant reactions (IR) was about the same for the different tests. Nevertheless, when comparing the positive reactions vs +?, IR, or negative reactions in paired tests, positive results were more frequently obtained with the FC technique. Our data suggest that the standard method with FC allows a better detection of contact allergy than the new ready-to-use systems tested in this study.

    Notes: We have described 100 subjects sensitized to textile dyes. Of these, 16 had clinically been suspected of having a textile dermatitis from among 1145 patients referred for patch testing. 41 patients were identified from among 861 consecutive subjects tested with the GIRDCA (Italian Research Group on Contact and Environmental Dermatitis) standard series supplemented with 4 disperse dyes (Disperse Blue 124, Disperse Red I, Disperse Yellow 3. Disperse Orange 3), The remaining 43 patients were identified from among 746 subjects tested with the GCRDCA standard series, supplemented with the 4 disperse dyes mentioned above and a further series of 12 other textile dyes, The clinical picture was extremely variable: most patients had a typical eczematous dermatitis, but we also observed persistent erythematous-wheal-type reaction. a transient urticarial dermatitis and an erythema-multiforme-like eruption Among these textile dyes, Disperse Blue 124 caused most reactions. With the addition of the 4 disperse dyes to the GIRDCA standard series, we identified 4.8% sensitized 10 textile dyes. a much higher figure than the 1.4% observed among patients being patch tested on the basis of their history and the clinical findings; the addition of a further 12 textile dyes to the series further increased the detection rate to 5.8%. We stress the importance of routinely patch testing with textile dyes, which can help to elucidate the cause of certain kinds of atypical dermatitis

    Notes: Atopy patch tests (ATPs) are believed to be a useful diagnostic procedure for atopic dermatitis (AD), aiming at the detection of delayed reactions to aeroallergens and food allergens. Our aim was to investigate immune responses to gluten and gliadin in children affected by coeliac disease by performing APTs, and to compare these data to the ones observed in AD patients. 31 children, 15 males and 16 females (mean age ± s.d. = 5,5 ± 3,8 years) affected by coeliac disease underwent APTs with gluten and gliadin. Among these, 15 children were on gluten-free diet at the moment of our examination and 3 patients were affected by AD. 83 AD children not affected by celiac disease, were used as controls. 19,4% and 12,9% of children with coeliac disease proved positive to APTs with gluten and gliadin, respectively. No difference in the frequency and intensity of APT responses were present between the patients on gluten-free diet and the children not on diet. Among AD patients 12% reacted to gluten, whereas no positive reactions to gliadin were observed. Going on these findings, the cellular-mediated reactivity to gliadin in patients with coeliac disease may show a clinical expression by positive APT reactions to gliadin. These represent a specific finding in subjects with coeliac disease when compared to AD children.

    Notes: A 10-year multicentre analysis of the frequency of sensitivity to common preservatives collected in 16 centres in 11 countries has shown stable but persisting high levels of sensitivity to formaldehyde and 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one + 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (MCI/MI). It has also revealed a significant increase in the level of reactivity to methyldibromoglutaronitrile (MDBGN) from 0.7% in 1991 to 3.5% in 2000. The current high level of sensitivity to MDBGN requires an urgent safety re-evaluation and risk assessment update along with consideration of immediate lowering of use concentrations, especially in leave-on products.

    Notes: This study investigated whether a corticosteroid mix containing tixocortol pivalate, budesonide, and hydrocortisone-17-butyrate could detect contact allergy to corticosteroids. 2 corticosteroid mixes, 1 with a high (mix I) and 1 with a low (mix II) concentration and the 3 individual constituents, each at 2 concentrations, were inserted into the standard series of 16 participating clinics. Tests were read on day (D) 3 or 4. 5432 patients were tested, and 110 (2.0%) had positive reactions to at least 1 of the 8 test preparations. Of the 8 preparations, mix I identified most allergic patients, followed by mix II, budesonide 0.10%, budesonide 0.002%, and tixocortol pivalate, both concentrations (1.0 and 0.10%) tracing the same number. With the mixes, 53.2–59.6% of tixocortol pivalate allergy was missed. 47 patients were allergic to either concentration of tixocortol pivalate, 25% of these only to 1.0% and another 25% only to 0.10%. Testing with mix I and tixocortol pivalate 0.10% picked up 98/110, testing with tixocortol pivalate 1.0% and 0.10% and budesonide 0.10% picked up 105/110. 3379 patients were read on both D3 or D4 as well as on D7. Without a late reading (D7), up to 30% of contact allergy to corticosteroid markers was missed.

    Ultrasound B scanning with image analysis for assessment of allergic patch test reactions (1991)

    Notes: Assessment of patch lest results has been performed visually and using u lira sound in the U mode. A positive test site has a typical ultrasonographic appearance, presenting a uniform hypoechogenic area in the dermis. In this zone, the mean amplitude of ultrasound reflection peaks decreases, and the extension of this area increases, together with the intensity of the eczematous reaction. A close correlation has been shown between visual scoring, amplitude decrease and surface increase of the hypoecbogenic area. This technique seems to provide a reproducible System for the evaluation of patch tests.
