    Notes: Abstract: In the present study, the distribution of ionotropic glutamate receptors of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-receptor type was immunohistochemically demonstrated in healthy human skin (n = 22) and healthy buccal mucosa (n = 20). Moreover, the intracellular calcium concentration of HaCaT-cells and native human keratinocytes were studied under the influence of the selective agonist NMDA and the selective NMDA-antagonist MK-801.Immunohistochemical imaging of NMDA receptors in healthy epidermis showed a positive reaction in the stratum basale, spinosum and granulosum, whereby the greatest expression was observed in the granular layer. In the mucosal preparations, the distribution of NMDA receptors was observed to be equal in all cell layers. In the cell culture (HaCaT-cells), NMDA concentrations between 25 µM and 1 mM resulted in a significant increase in the number of cells showing elevated intracellular calcium concentration. This effect could be significantly reduced by prior application of MK-801 (100 µM). In supplementary tests on HaCaT-keratinocytes, blockade of the keratinocytic NMDA receptors with MK-801 suppressed the differentiation of the cells (expression of cytokeratin 10). The proliferation of cells was not influenced by NMDA.The investigations showed that glutamate receptors of the NMDA type have an influence on keratinocytic calcium concentration. This appears especially important for the differentiation of keratinocytes.

    Notes: Background: Pericytes cover the abluminal surface of microvessels and play an important role in capillary regulation and pathology. Studies on pericytes have been hindered by the lack of specific markers with which to facilitate microscopic identification of this cell type. Expression of the cell surface 3G5 ganglioside antigen has been reported in cultured retinal and cardiac pericytes. The objective of this study was to determine the usefulness of monoclonal antibody 3G5 as a pericyte marker in human skin.Methods: Cryosections of 21 skin biopsies were examined by direct fluorescence technique with anti-3G5, anti-von Willebrand factor, anti-α-smooth muscle actin or DNA fluorochrome.Results: In human dermis, 3G5 expression is limited to pericytes discriminating this cell type from all other cells including smooth muscle cells, myofibroblasts and myoepithelial cells. We found a pericyte: endothelial cell ratio of 1:12.4 (±7.1), and a difference of α-smooth muscle actin expression between the subpapillary plexus and the microvessels of the Stratum reticulare.Conclusions: 3G5 mAB is an excellent and so far the only reported tool for identification of dermal pericytes by fluorescent light microscopy. Moreover, this is the first report of the application of 3G5 technique to the microvasculature in tissue sections at the light microscopic level.

    Notes: Background/aims: The application of one-dimensional laser Doppler fluxmetry (LDF) to clinical research is widespread. Large intra- and interindividual fluctuations in perfusion impede the objective evaluation of studies and hinder a standardised reproducibility. Attempts are made to minimise these biological fluctuations of the measured values by means of functional tests, standardised measuring conditions and large study populations. An intraindividual fixed standard that also facilitates interindividual comparability as a reference parameter would be desirable.Methods: By applying a nitric oxide (NO) release cream, a maximal vasodilatation is produced in a circumscribed skin area and optically registered by means of LDF. An LDF quotient is defined as a measure of the reproducibility. A total of 123 test subjects with dermatological diseases were measured at intervals of 60 min on the volar underarm on clinically normal skin with and without NO release cream.Results: The LDF quotient of the NO release test represents a stable, readily reproducible individual parameter and is appropriate as a reference standard for resting flux measurements. Therefore, we define an LDF factor that includes the maximal vasodilatation as a specific assessment characteristic and thus allows a more powerful, functionally oriented assessment of the individual measurements.Conclusion: The NO release test is appropriate as a reference standard for laser Doppler fluxmetry and realises a high reproducibility of individual measurements.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Although the aetiology of morphea often remains unknown, various precipitating causes have been identified. Morphea is a rare development following irradiation. We observed a circumscribed scleroderma 14 years after x-ray-radiotherapy following surgery of breast cancer. Furthermore multiple weeping papules occured within the radiation area. A relapse of the breast cancer was ruled out by histological examination which displayed a transepidermal elimination of acid mucin. The irradiation had obviously induced different reactions of the dermal fibroblasts (radiodermatitis, morphea, mucin production).
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Hinsichtlich der Ätiologie der Morphaea sind verschiedene chemische, physikalische und mikrobielle Auslöser bekannt. Zu den seltenen Triggerfaktoren gehören Röntgenstrahlen. Wir beobachteten eine strahleninduzierte zirkumskripte Sklerodermie 14 Jahre nach einer Röntgentiefenbestrahlung wegen eines Mammakarzinoms. Zusätzlich bestand eine transepidermale Elimination saurer Muzine, die zunächst als Papulovesikel mit schleimiger Exsudation imponierten und klinisch den Verdacht auf ein Brustwandrezidiv des Mammakarzinoms im Sinne einer tumorbedingten superfiziellen Lymphangiektasie ergaben. Die Bestrahlung führte zu einer regionalen und gleichzeitig bestehenden chronischen Radiodermatitis, Morphaea und papulösen Muzinose.
