    Notes: Background  Topical corticosteroids are the usual treatment for atopic dermatitis (AD) in children but can have side-effects.Objectives  This study compared the efficacy and safety of 0·03% tacrolimus ointment applied once or twice daily over a 3-week period with the twice daily application of 1% hydrocortisone acetate (HA) ointment in children with moderate to severe AD.Patients and methods  Patients applied ointment daily to all affected body surface areas. The primary study endpoint was the percentage change in the modified Eczema Area and Severity Index (mEASI) between baseline and treatment end.Results  Six hundred and twenty-four patients, aged 2–15 years, applied 0·03% tacrolimus ointment once daily (n = 207), twice daily (n = 210) or 1% HA twice daily (n = 207). By the end of treatment, application of 0·03% tacrolimus ointment both once or twice daily resulted in significantly greater median percentage decreases in mEASI (66·7% and 76·7%, respectively) compared with 1% HA (47·6%; P 〈 0·001). Furthermore, the median percentage decrease in mEASI was significantly greater for patients applying 0·03% tacrolimus twice daily compared with once daily (P = 0·007). Patients with severe AD benefited especially from twice daily application of 0·03% tacrolimus ointment compared with once daily application (P = 0·001). Transient mild to moderate skin burning occurred significantly more often in the 0·03% tacrolimus groups (P = 0·028) but resolved in most cases within 3–4 days. Laboratory parameters showed no clinically relevant changes.Conclusions  0·03% tacrolimus ointment applied once or twice daily is significantly more efficacious than 1% HA in treating moderate–severe AD in children. Twice daily application of 0·03% tacrolimus ointment results in the greatest improvement in mEASI, and is especially effective in patients with severe baseline disease.

    Notes: Summary We report a 4-year-old boy with multiple sulphatase deficiency (MSD). His early health was good. By the end of his first year there were concerns about developmental delay but by 26 months he showed clear evidence of regression in that he was barely able to sit unsupported and had lost all fine motor and communication skills. At that time he also had widespread mild ichthyosis that cleared completely with the use of emollients. The neurological deterioration suggested a diagnosis of metachromatic leucodystrophy, and a reduction in the leucocyte arylsulphatase A activity was detected. The ichthyosis suggested steroid sulphatase deficiency, and a reduction in the leucocyte steroid sulphatase activity was detected. The enzyme deficiency was much less marked for steroid sulphatase than for arylsulphatase A in this boy. This diversity in enzyme activities is typical of MSD and correlates with the mild ichthyosis in this child. This case shows that even mild ichthyosis should prompt measurement of steroid sulphatase activity in a child of either sex with unexplained neurological deterioration.

    Notes: Epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) is a blistering skin disease caused in most cases by mis-sense mutations in genes encoding the basal epidermal keratin (K) 5 and K14. The inheritance is usually autosomal dominant and the mutant keratin proteins appear to exert a dominant negative effect on the keratin intermediate filament cytoskeleton in basal keratinocytes. We report a child with a homozygous K14 mutation resulting in the complete absence of K14 protein in the epidermis; remarkably, he only had mild to moderate disease. Electron microscopy of a skin biopsy showed a marked reduction in numbers of keratin intermediate filaments in the basal keratinocytes. Immunofluorescence microscopy using monoclonal antibody LL001 against K14 showed no staining, suggesting a functional knockout of K14. Sequence analysis of genomic DNA revealed a homozygous mutation in codon 31 of K14 that resulted in a premature stop codon further downstream in exon 1. The child's mother, who is unaffected by the disease, is heterozygous for the mutation. The consanguineous father was unaffected and unavailable for testing. The resulting mRNA is predicted to encode a protein of 116 amino acids, of which the first 30 are identical to the normal K14 sequence, and the remaining 86 residues are mis-sense sequence. Four previously reported cases of autosomal recessive EBS with functional knockout of K14 were severely affected by blistering, in contrast to our patient in whom the predicted protein has only the first 30 amino acids of K14 and is therefore the closest to a true knockout of K14 protein yet identified.

    Notes: A capacitive-discharge spot welder is described which is primarily intended for making electrical connections between small (〈25–150 μm diameter) wires and samples of metallic materials, although it can be used in many applications where miniature welds must be made. It has been particularly useful in allowing low resistance (several mΩ) contacts to be created on samples of rare earth and actinide intermetallic compounds which are highly resistant to soldering. The device has a minimum time constant of about 25 μs and can deliver a maximum of between 700 μJ and 400 mJ of energy to the weld region, depending on the resistance of the latter. A suitable electrode holder is also described, and considerations for choosing the electrode materials, selecting the contact wires, preparing the sample, and creating a weld are discussed. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A recent publication by the authors describes a spot welder which can be used to join small wires to samples of metallic materials. The article also discusses the selection of contact wires, the preparation of samples prior to welding, and other details of the welding method. In the present work, we give a much improved version of the power supply circuit, and offer additional information on the technique that was not discussed previously. A "universal" method of electropolishing is also described which may be used to remove oxides and other surface contaminants from samples prior to spot welding. This technique can be applied to a variety of materials, including rare earth elements and compounds, which are generally difficult to polish or etch using other chemical or electrochemical means. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
