    Notes: The standard method for evaluating contact allergy in mice is the ear swelling technique. However, in experimental irritant contact dermatitis, the epidermal barrier disruption, that represents a predominant effect of irritants, cannot be assayed by this method. An appropriate method to evaluate barrier disruption is the measurement of transepidermal water loss (TEWL) but to date this has so far been possible only on the trunk of hairless or shaved mice. We therefore developed a new technique to measure the TEWL of mice ears (murine auricular TEWL: MATEWL). After patch testing with irritants and allergens, respectively, we found that the ear swelling method is most suitable for evaluating allergic skin reactions, whereas MATEWL is most appropriate for evaluating irritant skin reactions.

    Notes: Background It is well known that the degree of skin reaction to an irritant depends on its concentration and exposure time. Objectives To determine the interrelationship between the concentration of sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) and exposure time in both weak (subclinical) and severe reactions. Methods Patch testing with SLS was performed at different concentrations (0·125%, 0·25%, 0·5%, 1·0% and 2·0%) and with different exposure times (3, 6, 12, 24 and 48 h). Evaluation was conducted by measurement of transepidermal water loss and by laser-Doppler flowmetry both 30 min and 24 h after patch removal. Results We found more reliable and constant skin reactions 24 h after patch removal, and a higher correlation between SLS concentration and skin reaction. Conclusions We conclude that the concentration of SLS influences the test outcome to a larger degree than the exposure time. We present formulae by which the outcome of SLS patch testing at various SLS concentrations ranging from 0·125% to 2% and any exposure time between 3 and 24 h can be estimated.

    Notes: Immunological and biochemical alterations in atopic dermatitis have been attributed to a deficient conversion of omega-6 fatty acids (i.e. linoleic acid, gamma-linolenic acid, and dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid) to prostaglandin (PG)E1. In patients with atopic dermatitis, however, the formation of PGE1 has not been evaluated so far. We therefore measured plasma concentrations of 15-keto-13.14-dihydro-PGE1 which reflects endogenous PGE1 release, by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in 31 patients with atopic dermatitis (aged 18-41 years, median 26 years) and in 31 healthy, age and sex-matched control subjects. In order to exclude a metabolic shift from PGE1 to PGE2, we also measured the plasma levels of 15-keto-13, 14-dihydro-PGE2. There was no difference between patients and control subjects with respect to plasma concentrations of 15-keto-13, 14-dihydro.PGE1 (3.9-49.6, median 10.3pg/ml vs. 3.2-80.4, median 8.3pg/ml, P = 0.22), 15-keto-13,14-dihydro-PGE2 (11.6-201.0 median 24.8pg/ml vs. 8.6-201.0.median 19.6 pg/ml, P = 0.10), and the ratio of 15-keto-13,14-dihydro-PGE1 to 15-keto-13.14-dihydro-PGE2 (0.17-1.39, median 0.41 vs.0.2-0.17, median 0.45, P = 0.29). These results indicate that the endogenous formation of both PGE1 and PGE2 is normal in our patients. The results do not confirm the pivotal role that other authors have attributed to a deficient PGE1 formation in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis.

    Notes: AbstractA 46-year-old woman presented with multiple seborrheic keratoses disseminated over her trunk and thighs. A screening for internal malignancies revealed an adenocarcinoma of the colon that was successfully treated by surgery. During a follow-up period of 18 months, the seborrheic keratoses remained unchanged. There was no evidence of recurrence of the malignancy. We conclude that this case does not fulfill the criteria of the ‘sign of Leser-Trélat’; according to present knowledge the existence of this cutaneous paraneoplastic syndrome cannot be taken as a certain indication. Patients with multiple seborrheic keratoses do not necessarily present internal malignancies.

    Notes: A 32-year-old woman presented with a patchy and ophiasis type of alopecia areata. She reported that at the age of 25 she had undergone plastic surgery for the same hair problem. In the occipital region, partial excision of bald areas and transplantation of punched grafts from unaffected areas of her scalp had been performed, but these grafts completely lost their hair shortly after transplantation. At the age of 30 she had developed, in addition, patchy alopecia areata in other areas of the scalp. The present observation of receptor site dominance of the area affected by alopecia areata suggests that the primary abnormality is situated in the affected tissue, and that the disease is caused by local spreading of a hitherto unknown factor.

    Notes: Abstract: Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a dihydrotestosterone-mediated process, characterized by continuous miniaturization of androgen sensitive hair follicles (HF). Although increased 5α-reductase (5aR) activity in affected HF is a key feature in the pathogenesis of AGA, only little is known about the in vivo expression of 5aR within AGA-affected HF. Recent studies have shown that the dermal papilla (DP) is the predominant site of type 2 5aR expression within the human HF, but direct measurements of 5aR activity in intact DP of AGA-affected HF have not been reported so far, mainly because of technical problems. Hence there is a need for a reliable and sensitive method of measuring 5aR activity in fresh tissues. As a novel approach, we used freshly isolated, intact DP and a highly sensitive HPLC-radiomatic flow scintillation system to measure 5aR. In this way we were able to measure 5aR even in small DPs from miniaturized HF. Our results show that DP from the occipital scalp express ex vivo considerable amounts of 5aR activity, but the measurable enzyme activities of individual DP differ considerably. Therefore the use of only one or two DP is at present not a reliable tool to analyze 5aR activity ex vivo.

    Notes: Antibodies raised against fragments of synthetic peptides of human 5α-reductase isoenzymes 1 (h5αrl) and 2 (h5αr2) were applied to paraffin sections of human skin (scalp, eyelid, lip, breast, scrotum).Immunoreactive sites were differentially distributed, in that h5αrl immunoreactivity was present in the nuclei of cells in the stratum germinativum (basal and lower portion of the spinous layer) of the epidermis, subepithelial tibroblasts, adipocytes, smooth muscle cells of the scrotal tunica dartos, basal cells of sebaceous glands, excretory duct cells of sweat glands, cells of the dermal papilla and fibrous and outer epithelial sheath of hair roots, as well as endothelial cells of small vessels and Schwann cells of cutaneous myelinated nerves. In contrast, immunoreactivity for h5αr2 was found in the cytoplasm of the cells of the spinous layer (and far less intensely in the basal layer) of the epidermis, subepidermal fibrocytes, and especially in subcutaneous adipocytes. Immunoreactivity was strongest in the non-keratinized portion of the inner epithelial sheath and the cuticle of hair follicles, whereas other portions of the hair root were negative. Sweat glands were stained, whereas sebaceous glands showed only weak diffuse immunoreactivily. In mucoculaneous zones, salivary glands and conjunctival epithelium showed immunoreactive cells. Vascular endothelium displayed immunoreactivity only in the genital region. We present experimental evidence for a differential distribution of 5α-reductase isoenzymes in human skin. This might reflect a diversity in the response of different areas of the skin to androgenic challenge.
