Although neonatal and adult epidermis are similar with respect to thickness lipid composition, skin development is not complete at birth. Previous studies indicate that the undergoes a process of adaptation maturation postnatally. Postnatal physiology has yet been evaluated comprehensively in prospective study. We assessed function parameters prospectively cohort 202 healthy term neonates (98 boys) Caucasian descent. Measurements were performed 3 days, 4 weeks, 12 weeks age four different...
Staphylococcal skin colonization is a common feature of atopic dermatitis (AD) in adults. Little known about prevalence and persistence staphylococci children. Forty-one AD children (mean age, 70 months) 41 age-matched controls were studied. S. aureus was isolated from 38 patients (93%;32% controls, P < .001) 37% ofAD (5% harbored toxigenic (enterotoxins, toxic shock syndrome toxin) strains. No individual biotype prevailed. On follow-up interval, 9 months), 70% strains reisolated. Nasal...
Oral propranolol is widely prescribed as first-line treatment for infantile haemangiomas (IHs). Anecdotally, prescribing practice differs between centres.The Propranolol In the Treatment of Complicated Haemangiomas (PITCH) Taskforce was founded to establish patterns use in IHs.Participating centres entered data on all their patients who had completed with oral IHs, using an online capture tool.The study cohort comprised 1097 children from 39 eight European countries. 76·1% were female and...
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a rare genetic disorder manifesting with skin and mucosal membrane blistering in different degrees of severity.Epidemiological data from countries have been published, but none are available Germany.In this population-based cross-sectional study, people living EB Germany were identified using the following sources: academic hospitals, diagnostic laboratories patient organization.Our study indicates an overall incidence 45 per million live births Germany.

We have previously reported that loss-of-function mutations in the cathepsin C gene (CTSC) result Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome, an autosomal recessive condition characterized by palmoplantar keratosis and early-onset, severe periodontitis. Others also CTSC patients with prepubertal periodontitis, but without any skin manifestations. The possible role of variants more common types non-mendelian, periodontitis ("aggressive periodontitis") has not been investigated. In this study, we investigated...
We report a 2-year-old boy with an unusual autosomal recessively inherited skin disease comprising trauma-induced fragility and congenital ectodermal dysplasia affecting hair, nails sweat glands. Skin biopsy showed widening of intercellular spaces between keratinocytes ultrastructural findings small, poorly formed desmosomes reduced connections to the keratin filament cytoskeleton. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed complete absence staining for accessory desmosomal plaque protein...

Abstract Deoxyspergualin (DSG) is a novel immunosuppressive agent recently shown to bind the constitutive heat shock protein 70, which involved in binding and intracellular transport of antigenic peptides. In this study, we show that DSG inhibits proliferation PBMCs Ags tetanus toxoid diphtheria toxoid, but not mitogens PHA PMA/ionomycin, nor superantigens toxic syndrome toxin-1 staphylococcal enterotoxin A. DSG's effect was specific for monocytes as preincubation T cells with did inhibit...
