Please cite this paper as: About the cutaneous targets of bexarotene in CTCL patients. Experimental Dermatology 2009.Abstract: There are several approved therapies for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). The retinoids are one of the major biologic response modifiers used in CTCL, producing good response rates but few complete responses. Bexarotene has been demonstrated to act on malignant T-cells by inducing their apoptosis, but nothing is known about its role on keratinocytes and Langerhans cells. Immunohistochemical analysis using CD1a, HLA-DR, ICAM-1 (activation markers), CD95 and CD40 (apoptosis markers) was conducted on...

Please cite this paper as: Effect of honey and its major royal jelly protein 1 on cytokine and MMP-9 mRNA transcripts in human keratinocytes. Experimental Dermatology 2009: 00: 000[ndash]000.Abstract: Honey has been used since ancient times as a remedy in wound healing. However, even though the results from randomized clinical trials document that honey accelerates wound healing, no study dealing with its influence on human skin cells (epidermal keratinocytes and dermal fibroblast) has been performed. We demonstrate that keratinocytes, which are known to be involved in wound healing, are responsible for elevated production...

Please cite this paper as: Absence of modulation of CD4+CD25high regulatory T cells in CTCL patients treated with bexarotene. Experimental Dermatology 2009.Abstract: Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) are a heterogeneous group of lymphoproliferative disorders, characterized by the infiltration of the epidermis by mature and activated malignant CD4+ T-lymphocytes. Retinoids such as retinoic acid and synthetic analogues have long been used alone or in combination with other therapies for CTCL. Bexarotene, the first synthetic highly selective RXR retinoid, was approved for the treatment of all stages of CTCL in patients refract...

Probing tumor and peritumoral tissues in superficial and nodular basal cell carcinoma using polarized Raman microspectroscopyemail this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
This study reports the use of polarized Raman microspectroscopy on the nodular and superficial types to discriminate between healthy epidermis and tumor, and between normal and peritumoral stroma. This technique probes additional information than conventional Raman spectroscopy because it is sensitive to the molecular ordering of tissue components. Depolarization ratios and hierarchical cluster analysis demonstrate that polarized Raman microspectroscopy can better identify the tumor and the peritumoral dermis than conventional Raman microspectroscopy, and hence gives potential complementary data about their molecular chara...

Nestin and SOX9 and SOX10 transcription factors are coexpressed in melanomaemail this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
In this study, the expression levels of nestin, BRN2, SOX9 and SOX10 were analysed in tissues of melanoma (n = 78) and melanocytic nevi (n = 26) by immunohistochemistry. All proteins were highly expressed in primary and metastatic melanomas and, apart from BRN2, showed much lower levels in melanocytic nevi. Significant coexpression of nestin with SOX9 and SOX10 was found in primary melanoma confirming our in vitro data. Correlation analysis with clinicopathological data revealed that nestin was significantly associated with presence of ulceration in primary tumors and SOX9 with more advanced stage of disease. Our data reve...

Experimental Dermatology 2009.Abstract: Regulatory T cells (Treg) have been found to be central for host defense regulation against microbial antigens, the prevention of allergic and autoimmune diseases and the suppression of effective tumor immune responses. However, the influence of the microenvironment and the mechanisms leading to their activation in the periphery still remain unclear. In vitro infection models revealed that survival and suppressive...

Conclusion The findings suggest that patients in the online sample are less satisfied with their health care, which also could have been their motive for participating online. It is important to gather data online because it increases the data pool and permits inclusion of people who are not incorporated in clinical settings. However, online data cannot directly replace data collected in clinics because they are also subject to selections.

Conclusions Short-contact treatment with clobetasol-17 propionate 0.05% shampoo has high user convenience and patient satisfaction rates. Moreover, the treatment is well-tolerated and efficacious from patients' perspective. Subgroup analyses did not reveal factors predicting treatment outcome, although treatment success tended to be more evident in patients who had received fewer treatments previously.

The initial symptoms of Fabry's disease (FD) may seem harmless and may delay its diagnosis. A survey and screening for FD were performed on men with biopsy-proven angiokeratoma and some of their relatives (n = 29). Three patients were identified. Dermatologists should be aware of this prominent early feature and investigate unexplained cutaneous vascular lesions to detect FD.

Conclusions  Despite the limitations, this study, which reviewed a large number of patients who underwent intravascular GBCA injections, demonstrates a 77-fold higher risk of NSF among patients who undergo hemodialysis and a 69-fold higher risk in patients with renal transplantation. This increased risk is thought to be associated with poor clearance of most GBCAs.

Conclusions  Quantitative assessment of melanocytic differentiation antigens in SLNs, which has prognostic value, is more specific than qualitative assessment. Prognosis may be more effectively predicted by the combination of quantitative assessment of melanocytic differentiation antigens in SLNs with histologic assessment. A significant association was found between the presence of micrometastases and the expression of angiogenesis biomarkers.

Conclusions  Loose anagen hair syndrome is a common nonscarring alopecia in young girls with a history of sparse or fine hair. Before ordering extensive blood testing in young girls with diffusely thin hair, it is important to perform a hair-pull test, as a trichogram can be instrumental in the confirmation of a diagnosis of LAHS.

Conclusions  Microfoam sclerotherapy is an effective treatment option in patients with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome. MDCT venography allows diagnosis of the disease, planning of therapy, and assessment of response to treatment. Although foam-induced microembolism is a common phenomenon during sclerotherapy, in this report we demonstrate that polidocanol microfoam prepared with a low-nitrogen gas mixture is safe in a patient with a patent foramen ovale.

Conclusions  Adenosquamous carcinoma is best considered as a locally aggressive high-risk subtype of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. Tumor thickness and perineural invasion are high-risk histopathological attributes, and immunosuppression is an important clinical risk factor. Although Mohs micrographic surgery may be the best initial treatment, locoregional recurrence is common.

Conclusions  Although no patient had complete resolution of indurated plaques, the improvement was substantial. For 2 patients, it resulted in a resumption of hand and leg mobility. As a result, UV-A1 therapy may represent a treatment for NSF when kidney transplantation is not an option or is delayed. Limitations of this study include the lack of a controlled trial, lack of quantification of gadolinium levels within tissue, and the lack of a defined grading scale for NSF severity.
