Consensus guidelines for the management of atopic dermatitis: An Asia–Pacific perspective
Abstract Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a relatively common disease in patients in the Asia–Pacific region. It presents a particular clinical challenge and requires careful clinical management. The chronic nature of AD characterized by flares, exacerbations and periods of quiescence requires a multipronged approach aimed at reducing itch, inflammation and the appearance of secondary lesions. In addition, varying levels of maintenance therapy may be required to avoid exacerbations. Survey data from the region indicate that there is significant variation across the Asia–Pacific with regard to current treatment practices. The ...

RNAi functionalized collagen-chitosan/silicone membrane bilayer dermal equivalent for full-thickness skin regeneration with inhibited scarring.
Abstract Scar inhibition of dermal equivalent is one of the key issues for treatment of full thickness skin defects. To yield a bioactive RNAi functionalized matrix for skin regeneration with inhibited scarring, collagen-chitosan/silicone membrane bilayer dermal equivalent (BDE) was combined with trimetylchitosan (TMC)/siRNA complexes which could induce suppression of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) pathway. The RNAi-BDE functioned as a reservoir for the incorporated TMC/siRNA complexes, enabling a prolonged siRNA release. The seeded fibroblasts in the RNAi-BDE showed good viability, internalized the TMC/s...

Porocarcinoma: an exceedingly rare tumor or a tumor eclipse phenomenon?—Reply
At the outset, we thank the author for the in-depth study of our article and apologize for any entirely unintentional discrepancies. We would, however, like to emphasize that the premise of the study was in differentiating porocarcinoma from squamous cell carcinoma and the utility of immunohistochemical stains as a histopathologic adjunct in the differentiation of these 2 entities—it was never meant to be an epidemiological study. Having said that, the authors (M. M. and M. H.) stand by their original contention that the frequency of porocarcinoma is not as high as that encountered by Dr Urso based on their more than 20 ...

Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis-Like Effects of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Contrast Agents in Rats with Adenine-Induced Renal Failure
Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) is a scleroderma-like disease associated with prior administration of certain gadolinium chelates (GCs). NSF occurs in patients with severe renal failure. The purpose of this study was to set up a rat model of GC-associated NSF to elucidate the mechanism of this devastating disease. Firstly, after characterization of the model, male Wistar rats received a 0.75% adenine-enriched diet for 8, 14, or 16 days to obtain various degrees of renal failure. Rats received five consecutive daily iv injections of saline or gadodiamide (2.5 mmol/kg/day). Secondly, the safety profile and in vivo propen...

Effects of Parabens on Adipocyte Differentiation
Parabens are a group of alkyl esters of p-hydroxybenzoic acid that include methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, and benzylparaben. Paraben esters and their salts are widely used as preservatives in cosmetics, toiletries, food, and pharmaceuticals. Humans are exposed to parabens through the use of such products from dermal contact, ingestion, and inhalation. However, research on the effects of parabens on health is limited, and the effects of parabens on adipogenesis have not been systematically studied. Here, we report that (1) parabens promote adipogenesis (or adipocyte differentiation) in murine 3T3-...

Activated LTB4 pathway in muscle tissue of patients with polymyositis or dermatomyositis
Conclusion The LTB4 pathway is upregulated in muscle tissue from patients with PM/DM and this upregulation correlated negatively to muscle performance, suggesting a role for LTB4 in myositis muscle weakness. The immunosuppressive treatment was insufficient on the LTB4 pathway and, for patients with high expression of FLAP, FLAP inhibitors may be considered as possible therapy.

Allergic Contact Dermatitis to Fragrances: Part 2.
Abstract Allergic contact dermatitis due to fragrances usually manifests as subacute or chronic dermatitis because fragrances are found in a wide range of products to which patients are repeatedly exposed. The typical patient is a middle-aged woman with dermatitis on her hands and face, although other sites may be affected depending on the allergen and the product in which it is found. The standard patch test series of the Spanish Contact Dermatitis and Skin Allergy Research Group (GEIDAC) contains 4 fragrance markers: balsam of Peru, fragrance mix i, fragrance mix ii, and lyral. Testing with a specific fragrance s...

Comparison of work-related ill-health data from different GB sources
Conclusions SWI is more inclusive than THOR-GP; however, reports are unsubstantiated by medical opinion. Clinical specialist reports are subject to biases such as severity and referral patterns. GP data benefit from their inclusion of less severe cases than reports from secondary care and may give a better reflection of the incidence of diseases with a work-related aetiology unrecognized by self-reporting individuals.

How to optimize HCV therapy in genotype 1 patients: management of side‐effects
Abstract Antiviral therapy for chronic hepatitis C has dramatically changed with the advent of triple therapy incorporating direct‐acting antivirals (DAAs) such as the protease inhibitors (PI) boceprevir and telaprevir. Such triple‐therapy is associated with a new spectrum of side‐effects which can hamper quality of life. These may lead to dosage reduction and sometimes discontinuation of therapy. This review presents practical tips to help manage adverse effects appropriately and efficiently. The main adverse effects causing discontinuation of therapy are varied. Although the most common adverse effects are the ‘f...

The biodisposition and hypertrichotic effects of bimatoprost in mouse skin
Abstract Studies on bimatoprost were performed with two objectives: (i) to determine whether bimatoprost possesses hair growth‐stimulating properties beyond eyelash hypertrichosis and (ii) to investigate the biodisposition of bimatoprost in skin for the first time. Bimatoprost, at the dose used clinically for eyelash growth (0.03%) and given once daily for 14 days, increased pelage hair growth in C57/black 6 mice. This occurred as a much earlier onset of new hair growth in shaved mice and the time taken to achieve complete hair regrowth, according to photographic documentation and visual assessment. Bimatoprost biodispo...

Serum eosinophil cationic protein level in Chinese subjects with nonallergic and local allergic rhinitis and its relation to the severity of disease.
CONCLUSION: The present study provides the first evidence that LAR exists in Chinese subjects. This study also suggests that eosinophils and ECP take part in the pathogenesis of NAR. A local examination for ECP and specific IgE in nasal lavage fluid or secretions in patients with LAR should be performed in a future study. PMID: 23406588 [PubMed - in process]

Is There a Role for the Detection of Autoantibodies in the Clinical Practice of Treating Infants with Bullous Pemphigoid? A Case Report
We present a case of infantile bullous pemphigoid (BP) triggered by primary infection with varicella zoster virus and we analyze the correlation between autoantibody levels and disease activity. With this report we suggest that serum autoantibody titers may not necessarily mirror the clinical course of the disease or represent a helpful tool in guiding therapeutic decisions in infantile BP.

Adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of thermal burns.
Abstract A significant and consistently positive body of evidence from animal and human studies of thermal injury support the use of hyperbaric oxygen as a means of preventing dermal ischemia, reducing edema, modulating the zone of stasis, preventing partial- to full-thickness conversion, preserving cellular metabolism and promoting of healing. The vast majority of clinical reports have shown reduction in mortality, length of hospital stay, number of surgeries and cost of care. Hyperbaric oxygen has been demonstrated to be safe in the hands of those thoroughly trained in rendering therapy in the critical care setti...

Epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma caused by activation of a cryptic splice site in KRT9
Summary Epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma (EPPK) is caused by mutations in KRT9 and less often, KRT1. All known mutations in KRT9 have been found in regions of the gene encoding the conserved central α‐helix rod domain. In the present study, we investigated the molecular basis of EPPK in a patient of Ashkenazi Jewish origin. The patient was found to carry a novel missense mutation in KRT9, resulting in the substitution of a poorly conserved leucine for valine at position 11 of the amino acid sequence. Despite its unusual location, the mutation was shown to be pathogenic through activation of a cryptic donor splice ...

Vitiligo: the white armor?
The difficulty in the management of the patient with vitiligo is that long‐term UVB narrowband phototherapy is the recognized mainstay for treatment contrasting with the fact that dermatologists warn constantly their patients about the dangers of sun exposure to limit skin aging and cancer. Ambivalent reasoning has not a great appeal in the profession and many dermatologists just prefer to give vitiligo patients sunscreens for white skin and advice for reinforced photoprotection. In this context, the retrospective study by Teulings et al. in a Dutch population indicating that patients with vitiligo have a decreased risk ...
