    Notes: Abstract The Dubowitz syndrome is a rare, autosomal, recessively inherited disorder of intrauterine and postnatal growth retardation leading to microcephaly, moderate mental retardation and such characteristic facial anomalies as telecanthus, epicanthic folds, blepharophimosis, ptosis, broadening of the bridge and tip of the nose, abnormal ears and retrogenia. Further findings include hyperactivity, eczema, cryptorchidism in the affected males, and brachy-clinodactyly of the fifth fingers. Thirty-three cases with this syndrome have been reported in the literature. Five additional patients are presented. All five are sporadic cases. The diagnostic symptoms and the differential diagnosis are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract: Epidermolytic hyperkeratosis (EHK) is a congenital, autosomal dominant disorder of cornification characterized by hyperkeratosis and blister formation. The clinical manifestations are heterogeneous, with respect to the extent of body surface involvement, palmar and plantar hyperkeratosis and the presence of erythroderma. Point mutations in the genes encoding the suprabasal-specific keratins, keratins 1 and 10 have been identified in EHK patients. The inappropriate amino acid substitutions cause a collapse of the keratin filament network, resulting in cytolysis of the involved keratinocytes. We report a severe case of EHK with a single base pair mutation that causes a threonine for asparagine substitution in residue 8 (N8T) of the 1A region of the keratin 1 protein. This is the region involved in molecular overlaps between neighboring keratin heterodimers. These findings suggest that even conservative amino acid substitutions in overlap regions can cause tonofilament clumping.

    HID and KID syndromes are associated with the same connexin 26 mutation (2002)

    Notes: Summary Background Keratitis–ichthyosis–deafness (KID) syndrome is a debilitating ectodermal dysplasia that predisposes patients to develop squamous cell carcinomas in addition to leading to profound sensory deafness and erythrokeratoderma. We recently demonstrated that KID can be caused by a specific missense mutation in connexin 26 (GJB2). Another syndrome, called hystrix-like ichthyosis–deafnesss (HID) syndrome, strongly resembles the KID syndrome. These disorders are distinguished mainly on the basis of electron microscopic findings. We hypothesized that KID and HID syndromes may be genetically related. Objective To demonstrate by mutation analysis that HID and KID syndromes are genetically indistinguishable. Methods DNA was extracted from paraffin-embedded tissue samples of the first HID syndrome patient described in the literature. Since the KID syndrome mutation abolishes an AspI restriction site, we were able to screen the patient's DNA by polymerase chain reaction and subsequent restriction enzyme analysis. Results Restriction analysis of the connexin 26 gene in HID syndrome demonstrated the presence of the KID syndrome mutation that we previously described. This result was confirmed by direct DNA sequencing. Conclusions We show that KID and HID syndromes are identical at the molecular level and confirm the clinical impression that these syndromes are one and the same. That previous clinical reports made a distinction may be a consequence of sampling artefacts; alternatively, genetic background effects such as the presence of concurrent mutations in other skin-expressed genes may modify the phenotype.

    Notes: Background  Muckle–Wells syndrome is a rare familial disease with autosomal dominant inheritance, characterized by cold sensitivity and polyarthralgias since childhood, with possible later development of nerve deafness and renal amyloidosis. The nature of the skin manifestations is, however, not well characterized.Objectives  To clarify the nature of cutaneous cold sensitivity in patients with Muckle–Wells syndrome by studying clinical aspects and histological features.Methods  Eighteen members of a family with Muckle–Wells syndrome and the recently identified mutation of the CIAS1 gene at locus 260 of chromosome 1q44 were available for study. Examination included a thorough history, physical examination and a battery of laboratory tests. In two brothers, standard cold contact and cold air provocation tests were performed, as were biopsies from normal and lesional skin.Results  All affected family members reported an increased sensitivity to cold, dampness or changes in temperature, and most had arthritis and conjunctivitis. Eight had developed hearing loss, four renal involvement, and amyloid deposits were found in three of five patients in whom rectal biopsies were performed. Laboratory tests showed leucocytosis and elevated C-reactive protein, but no serum cold agglutinins and cryoglobulins. Skin eruptions, with weals of 0·2–3 cm, lasted from 5 to 24 h and were associated with local itching or pain as well as fever, malaise and chills. On cold provocation of two patients, lesions could be reproduced by cold air, but not by contact with an ice cube or cold water. On histology, there was increased vasodilatation, marked infiltration with neutrophils and monocytes/macrophages, and increased expression of β2 integrins in lesional vs. normal skin. Numbers of mast cells as well as expression of interleukin-3 and tumour necrosis factor-α were unchanged.Conclusions  Cold-induced skin lesions in Muckle–Wells syndrome represent typical generalized cold air/wind inflammatory reactions, as also observed in familial cold urticaria. Microscopic features are similar to those observed in other types of urticaria.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract As shown by measurements of several investigators the thermal conductivity of plastics generally depends on the structure of the polymer. Amorphous plastics have thermal conductivities which vary only slightly with temperature; results may be represented by mean values. Partially crystalline plastics have a different behavior. One group shows a decrease with temperature, the other group demonstrates a behavior similar to that of amorphous plastics. Mean values are recommended for the second group only.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Wie eine Gegenüberstellung von Versuchsergebnissen verschiedener Autoren zeigt, hängt die Wärmeleitfähigkeit thermoplastischer Kunststoffe im wesentlichen von der Struktur der jeweiligen Polymerart ab. Die Wärmeleitfähigkeit amorpher Kunststoffe ändert sich nur wenig mit der Temperatur; meist lassen sich alle Versuchsdaten durch Mittelwertkurven zusammenfassen. Teilkristalline Thermoplaste weisen ein unterschiedliches Verhalten auf. Für eine Gruppe ist ein Abfall der Wärmeleitfähigkeit mit der Temperatur bezeichnend, die andere Gruppe verhält sich ähnlich wie amorphe Thermoplaste. Eine Mittelung der Versuchsdaten ist nur für die zweite Gruppe möglich.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract Carrying on earlier investigations a new apparatus for measuring the heat conductivity of metals at temperatures between 100 and 500 °C was developped and critically examined. The method is founded on the stationary axial conduction of heat in a vertical cylinder (50 mm ø and 90 mm length) with three bores in a distance of 30 mm for measuring temperatures along the axis of the cylinder. The method is systematically controlled by altering the experimental conditions (heat loss, different heat flow, artificial variation of temperature field). The heat conductivity of Armco Iron, very pure copper, very pure aluminium, pure molybden and two alloys (steel and a NiCr-alloy) is measured between 20 and 500 °C and compared with the results of other work.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Anschließhere an frühere Unterrsuchungen wurde eine neue Versuchseinrichtung zur Messung der Wärmeleitfähigkeit von Metallen im Temperaturbereich oberhalb 100 ° bis 500 ° aufgebaut und kritisch geprüft. Das Versuchsverfahren beruht auf der stationären axialen Wärmeleitung in einem Zylinder von 50 mm Durchmesser und 90 mm Länge mit drei Bohrungen im Abstand von je 30 mm zur Aufnahme von Thermopaaren für die Temperaturmessung in der Achse des Zylinders. Die Zuverlässigkeit des Meßverfahrens wird in zahlreichen Vorversuchen (Wärmeverlust, verschiedene Wärmeströmung, Verstimmung des Temperaturfeldes) erprobt. Die Wärmeleitfähigkeit folgender Metalle wird zwischen 20 und 500 °C gemessen: Armco-Eisen, sehr reines Kupfer, sehr reines Aluminium, reines Molybdän, Remanit, Baustahl St 37.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract Two stationary methods for determining the thermal conductivity of porous insulating materials are described; both are based on the guarded hot plate apparatus (one with a single test specimen, the other with two equal specimens). The corrections of both apparatus are fully explained; they were experimentally confirmed. Further controlling measurements under wide variation of the measuring conditions show a good agreement between all results. The influence of thermal radiation is represented by the variation of heat conductivity with the thickness s of the specimens. Emissivity at the bounding metallic plates (heating and cooling plates) is without importance, ifs〉20 mm. — A table of special values for the heat conductivity of different materials is published. A second part of this investigation will report about absorption measurements in the infrared range. These dates, together with discussion of earlier work done in this field may help to find the physical background of heat transport in such materials.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Zwei Meßeinrichtungen zur Ermittlung der Wärmeleitfähigkeit von sehr schlechten Leitern, insbesondere von porösen Schaumstoffen, beruhend auf dem stationären Plattenverfahren werden beschrieben (Zweiplattengerät, Einplattengerät). Die Korrektionen beider Meßeinrichtungen werden ausführlich angegeben und experimentell gesichert. Die Kontrolle beider Geräte unter weitgehender Variation der Versuchsbedingungen bestätigt die gute Übereinstimmung der Ergebnisse. Der Einfluß der Strahlung wird an der Abhängigkeit der Wärmeleitfähigkeit von der Dicke der Platten für Proben aus Polystyrolschaum, aus Polyvinylchloridschaum und aus Schaumglas deutlich gemacht. Der Einfluß des Emissionsgrades der metallischen Begrenzungsflächen ist für Schichtdickens 〉 20 mm vernachlässigbar. In einer abschließenden Tabelle werden für eine Reihe von Schaumstoffen verschiedener Herkunft und Rohdichte gemessene Werte der Wärmeleitfähigkeit bei 25 °C und 45 °C mitgeteilt. — Die hier beschriebenen Versuchsergebnisse werden in einem kürzeren nachfolgenden 2. Teil durch Messung der Ultrarotabsorption in Polystyrol ergänzt; sie werden anschließend mit den Ergebnissen anderer Beobachter verglichen und diskutiert.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract Neurofibromatosis is a neuroectodermal systemic disease. A rare variant of this condition is bilateral segmental neurofibromatosis. A 29-year-old man presented with bilateral papillomatous plaques in the lumbar dermatomes. Clinically, the lesions were very similar to an epidermal nevus but histologic examination revealed superficial neurofibromas. Family history, ophthalmologic and neurologic investigations were unremarkable. The unusual morphologic presentation of bilateral segmental neurofibromas in this case points to the wide clinical spectrum of the disease and the significance of histologic examination in systematic nevoid lesions.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die Neurofibromatose ist eine neuroektodermale Systemerkrankung, wobei insbesondere die bilaterale segmentale Form eine seltene Variante dieser Erkrankung darstellt. Wir berichten über einen 29-jährigen Mann, bei dem bilateral papulöse Plaques in den lumbalen Dermatomen beobachtet wurden. Die klinisch einem epidermalen Nävus gleichenden Hauterscheinungen entsprachen histologisch oberflächlichen Neurofibromen. Die Familienanamnese sowie die ophthalmologischen und neurologischen Untersuchungen waren unauffällig. Die in diesem Fallbeispiel vorgestellte ungewöhnliche Morphologie einer bilateralen segmentalen Neurofibromatose spricht für die enorme klinische Variabilität dieser Erkrankung und weist auf die Bedeutung histologischer Untersuchungen bei systematisierten nävoiden Hautveränderungen hin.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract The revolutionary advances of molecular genetics have made it possible in recent years to map the genes and identify the gene products of numerous hereditary skin diseases. The number of newly recognized gene loci responsible for genodermatoses is increasing almost every week. In this review, the gene locations of approximately 200 genodermatoses, categorized into various nosological groups, are presented and their genes or gene products, if already known, are documented in a tabular form. In this way novel, etiologically oriented criteria of classification emerge. On the one hand, dissimilar phenotypes can be attributed to one single gene locus, and on the other hand some clinically uniform genodermatoses have to be assigned to a number of different gene loci. Moreover, this review shows for which phenotypes additional research is particularly needed because we know the gene loci but so far not the underlying genes or gene products.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die revolutionären Fortschritte der Molekulargenetik haben es möglich gemacht, dass in den letzten Jahren die Gene zahlreicher erblicher Hauterkrankungen lokalisiert und charakterisiert worden sind. Die Zahl neu entdeckter Loci für Genodermatosen erhöht sich derzeit nahezu jede Woche. In dieser Übersicht werden die wichtigsten molekulargenetischen Methoden dargestellt, die heute zur Kartierung und Analyse von genetisch bedingten Krankheiten angewendet werden. Für rund 200 Genodermatosen wird deren exakte Kartierung, nach Krankheitsgruppen geordnet, tabellarisch aufgeführt, und deren Gen oder Genprodukt wird, soweit bereits bekannt, angegeben. Dabei zeichnen sich neue, ätiologisch orientierte Klassifikationsmöglichkeiten ab, wobei wir einerseits klinisch ganz unterschiedliche Phänotypen auf einen einheitlichen Genlocus zurückführen können und anderseits klinisch einheitliche Genodermatosen mitunter verschiedenen Loci zuordnen müssen. Auch wird ersichtlich, bei welchen Phänotypen besonderer Forschungsbedarf besteht, da zwar die chromosomale Lage der Genloci, nicht aber die zugrunde liegenden Gene bekannt sind.
