摘要:

Psychosomatic investigations were made in 18 patients with dermographism, 17 with cold urticaria, and 13 with cholinergic urticaria. The Maudsley Personality Inventory was used and electroencephalograms were recorded from most patients. In the majority of cases of dermographism first symptoms coincided with frustrating situations and psychic stress-intensified manifestations. 81.8% of the patients with dermographism had abnormal electroencephalograms. In cold urticaria the role of psychic factors could not be demonstrated, whereas in cholinergic urticaria ‘brief’ emotions provoked symptoms in three-quarters of the patients, although no other signs of the role of psychic factors were detec

摘要:

Ultraviolet (UV) light therapy was given over a period of several weeks to 19 test persons on one side of the back. The duration of the treatment was gradually increased from 30 sec to 7 min. After conclusion of the treatment quantitative lipid determination was made on both the treated and the untreated sides of the back, using the direct extraction method and the paper absorption method. The lipids obtained in this way were analysed by thin-layer chromatography. The following were the most important results: (1) The amount of skin surface lipids was significantly increased by UV irradiation. This results goth from an increase in the epidermal lipids as well as in the lipids of the sebaceous blands. (2) The percentage of free cholesterol in the skin surface lipids was significantly increased by UV irradiation. This increase is probably connected with a thickening of the stratum corneum. (3) The percentage of free fatty acids in the skin surface lipids is significantly increased by UV therapy. This shows that the living conditions of the saprophyte skin flora, which set free upases, are improved as a result of this treatment or that this treatment leads to an increase of the activity of the bacterial upases in the excretory ducts of the sebaceous glands.

摘要:

Electron microscopic examination of a pigmented basal cell epithelioma of scrotal skin revealed many tumor cells and melanocytes which were laden with large packages of melanosomes. In tumor cells these packages were delimited by either single- or double-limiting membranes or were not membrane bound. The matrix of these large complexes was less electron dense and homogeneous than normal, containing electron-translucent droplets besides melanosomes. No remnants of intracellular organelles such as nucleus, mitochondria or ribosomes could be found. The basal cell epithelioma cells in this case appear to have differentiated toward fetal basal cells and have developed the ability to phagocytize large packages of melanosomes.

摘要:

HL-A antigen B17, associated with a high familial frequency of psoriasis, is significantly correlated (r = 0.8242) with psoriasis case rates in several countries but HL-A antigen B13 alone, associated with ‘early age onset’ cases of psoriasis, is not significantly correlated (r = 0.4299) with case rate. A sum of the B13 and B17 antigen frequencies, since either antigen has been associated to psoriasis, is correlated with case rate in the populations surveyed (r = 0.7405) and is statistically signific

摘要:

Erythema multiforme of vesiculo-bullous type is described in one patient at the onset of ulcerative colitis and in another during an exacerbation of Crohn’s disease. Inflammatory large bowel disease should be once more accepted as a cause of erythema multiforme in its own right, presumably mediated through an immunological reactio

摘要:

Three cases of ‘atypical’ blue nevus presented almost identical histological findings differing from both benign cellular blue nevus and malignant blue nevus or malignant melanoma, and suggesting malignancy. Long-term follow-up – in one case 19 years – indicates that this pigmented tumor is a benign variant of blu

摘要:

A 2-year-old girl suffered from continuous pyogenic inflammation in the anogenital region probably enhanced by neurological alterations. In one episode, the inflammatory process presented multiple moist papillomatous growths on the labia majora and along the anal margin which are thought to have been caused by gonococcal infection.

摘要:

Occurrence of ichthyosis and malignancy together is unusual. An 18-year-old patient suffering from congenital ichthyosis was found to have a medulloblastoma of cerebellum. A short review of the literature of cases of tumors with ichthyosis, and neurological syndromes with ichthyosis is presented.
