    Notes: Several decades ago, Ingram already complained that “Atopy means exactly nothing, except in the mind of Coca and Cooke”. Despite very substantial progress in basic and clinical research on the atopic diseases, particularly in the areas of immunogenetics, cellular immunology and immunopharmacology, there is still a great deal of uncertainty, confusion and conflict on what exactly the basic underlying abnormality of the atopic diseases may be. Therefore, this inaugural feature of Controversies in Experimental Dermatology illustrates the ongoing dispute on one of the unsolved key problems of experimental and clinical dermatology, and sketches promising avenues for future research.

    Notes: Abstract: Specific immunotherapy and other immunomodulatory strategies have long been a stronghold in the management of allergic diseases. In particular, “immunodeviation-therapy” or “vaccination for allergies”, i.e. the redirection of Th2-type immune responses towards a Th1-response pattern, has become an ever more popular concept. The present feature of CONTROVERSIES complements our previous discussion of atopy (Röcken et al., Exp Dermatol 7: 97–104, 1998), and is dedicated to a critical analysis of the general problems and limitations one faces with the main immunomodulatory strategies traditionally considered in this context. We also explore alternative approaches that appear promising in order to achieve both a more effective and/or a more specific immunotherapy of allergic diseases. Given that the mast cell remains a key protagonist in the pathogenesis of allergic diseases finally, this feature examines how innovative, more selectively mast cell-targeted strategies may be developed for the management of allergic diseases.

    Notes: Narrow band (311 nm) ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) has been shown to be a safe and effective treatment for psoriasis and other inflammatory skin diseases. We have therefore employed NB-UVB in the treatment of small plaque parapsoriasis (SPP) since 1996. All patients (16/16) responded with complete remission of the disease after a mean number of 32.8 exposures and a mean total dose of 35.4 J/cm2. Unwanted side-effects were rare (3.3%) and always mild. Relapse of the disease occurred after an average of 29 weeks in those patients who came for follow-up visits. Therefore, NB-UVB is an effective, comparably safe and convenient alternative to psoralen and ultraviolet A therapy or other treatment modalities in the suppression of SPP.

    Notes: Acne conglobata has been reported to be more common and more severe in XYY chromosomal aberration than in normal subjects, whereas only exceptional cases have been observed in the more common XXY Klinefelter karyotype. We report a 17-year-old male with both Klinefelter's syndrome and acne conglobata, spreading from face to upper arms, trunk, buttocks and upper legs. The serum level of testosterone was normal, whereas luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone were elevated. Skin lesions responded well to a combined therapeutic regimen including oral isotretinoin and prednisolone. An overview of severe acne in relation to chromosomal abnormalities is given and diagnostic and therapeutic options discussed.This patient was demonstrated at the'XV. Fortbildungswoche für Dermatologie und Venerologie. 21-26 July 1996. at Munich. Germany.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Zielsetzung der Arbeit war die Quantifizierung der Entzündungsreaktion der Haut bei an systemischer Sklerodermie erkrankten Patienten mittels kontrastverstärkter MRT. Material und Methoden. In einer Vorstudie mit 6 Patienten wurden die Sequenzen eines dedizierten Niederfeldmagnetresonanztomographen (Artoscan, Esaote, Genua, Italien) für den Kontrastmittelnachweis (0,1 mmol/l Gd-DTPA i. v.) optimiert. Basierend auf dieser Sequenzoptimierung wurden 17 Patienten mit systemischer Sklerodermie (7 Patienten mit sklerosierender/ 10 mit aktiv-ödematöser Erkrankung) mit einer 3D GRE-Sequenz mit Gradientenspoiler untersucht (FA 90 °, TR 100 ms, TE 18 ms). Kontrast-zu-Rausch-Verhältnisse (CNR) von nativen und kontrastverstärkten statischen (6 min) und dynamischen (über 6 min, 6mal 1 min) Sequenzen ermöglichten die Quantifizierung der Anreicherung der Kutis. Patienten in der chronischen Phase mit Sklerodaktylie und der ödematösen Phase der systemischen Sklerose sowie eine alterskorrelierten Kontrollgruppe (n = 10) wurden getrennt ausgewertet und verglichen. Ergebnisse. Kontrast-zu-Rausch-Verhältnisse von nativen im Vergleich zu kontrastverstärkten Sequenzen zeigten eine signifikant stärkere Anreicherung bei Patienten mit aktiv-ödematöser Erkrankung im Vergleich zu Patienten in der sklerosierenden Phase der Erkrankung (86 ± 16 % und 29 ± 3 %, p 〈 0,05) und im Vergleich zur Kontrollgruppe 4 ± 2 %, p 〈 0,05). Die dynamische Untersuchung zeigte einen signifikant langsameren Abfall des Kurvenverlaufs nach dem Maximum in der ersten Minute bei Patienten mit aktiv-ödematöser (CNR: 15,4 ± 0,7 auf 14,2 ± 1,4) im Vergleich zur chronisch-sklerosierenden Erkrankung (CNR: 14,1 ± 0,5 auf 11,3 ± 0,9, p 〈 0,05). Diskussion. Die wahrscheinlichste Erklärung für die verstärkte Anreicherung bei Patienten mit aktiver Sklerodermie ist das kapilläre „Leakage“. Mit Hilfe von Sequenzen, die intravenöses Kontrastmittel hochsensitiv nachweisen, könnten zukünftig Krankheitsstadium und Therapieerfolge bei systemischer Sklerodermie dokumentiert werden.
    Notes: Purpose. To estimate disease activity in patients with systemic sclerosis using contrast-enhanced MRI of the skin. Material and Methods. In a pre-study, sequences of a low-field (0.2 T) scanner (Artoscan, Esaote, Genova, Italy) were optimized for detection of intravenous contrast (0.1 mmol/l Gd-DTPA) in six patients with the autoimmune disease systemic scleroderma. Based on the results of the pre-study, 17 patients with scleroderma (7 sclerotic/10 active inflammatory disease) were scanned using gradient-spoiled 3D GRE sequences (FA 90 °, TR 100 ms, TE 18 ms), which had been established as most sensitive for intravenous contrast. Contrast enhancement of the skin was determined quantitatively by contrast-to-noise ratios (CNR), comparing post- to pre-contrast and dynamic scans (for 6 min, 1 acquisition/min). Patients in the chronic state with sclerodactylia and active inflammation of the hands were considered separately and compared to a control group (n = 10) matched according to age. Results. CNR increase after intravenous contrast was significantly higher in patients with active disease (86 ± 16 % increase) than sclerosing disease (29 ± 3 %, p 〈 0.05) and the control group (4 ± 2 %, p 〈 0.05). The dynamic examination showed a significantly slower decrease after the peak rise in the first minute in patients with active disease (CNR 15.4 ± 0.7 to 14.2 ± 1.4) than in those with chronic disease (14.1 ± 0.5 to 11.3 ± 0.9, p 〈 0.05). Discussion. Capillary leakage is the most likely explanation for the increased enhancement in patients with active scleroderma. Using sequences optimized for contrast detection, disease activity in the course of scleroderma and response to therapy can be determined by MRI in the future.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Sixteen patients with generalized granuloma anulare and two patients with localized granuloma anulare received bath-PUVA therapy. Their lesions previously had not responded to conventional therapy. After an average of 55 (11 to 61) treatments and a mean cumulative dose of 69,5 (7,1 to 261,5) J/cm2, complete remission was observed in 5 patients and a clear improvement in 10 patients. Three patients stopped therapy after few treatments. Recurrent lesions appeared in 4 patients; in three of them reinitiation of the bath-PUVA-therapy again led to complete remission. Maintenance therapy for several months may be useful for patients suffering from relapsing granuloma anulare. Potential risks of long-lasting bath-PUVA therapy should be taken into consideration.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Bei 16 Patienten mit disseminiertem und 2 mit lokalisiertem Granuloma anulare wurde eine Bade-PUVA-Therapie durchgeführt, da die Läsionen auf konventionelle Therapiemaßnahmen nicht ansprachen. Nach durchschnittlich 55 (11–61) Behandlungen mit einer mittleren kumulativen Dosis von 69,5 (7,1–261,5) J/cm2 wurde bei 5 Patienten eine Vollremission und bei10 eine deutliche Rückbildung erreicht. Drei Patienten brachen die Therapie vorzeitig ab. Rezidive traten nach Beendigung der Therapie 4mal auf, 2mal führte die Wiederaufnahme der Behandlung zur Abheilung. Eine Erhaltungstherapie für einige Monate erscheint bei Patienten mit starker Rezidivneigung und besonderem Leidensdruck sinnvoll. Die potentiellen Risiken einer längerfristigen Bade-PUVA-Therapie müssen beachtet werden.
