dermatitis/phosphatase

Using the cytoenzymatic method acid phosphatase was determined in peripheral blood neutrophils and lymphocytes in 25 patients with allergic eczema, 31 patients with eczema due to irritants and 18 clinically healthy subjects. In patients with allergic eczema the percent of neutrophils and lymphocytes

NIPP1 is a ubiquitously expressed nuclear protein that regulates functions of protein Ser/Thr phosphatase-1 in cell proliferation and lineage specification. The role of NIPP1 in tissue homeostasis is not fully understood. Here we show that the selective deletion of NIPP1 in mouse epidermis resulted

BACKGROUND Atopic dermatitis (AD) and psoriasis are the 2 most common chronic inflammatory skin diseases. There is an unmet medical need to overcome limitations for transcutaneous drug development posed by the skin barrier. OBJECTIVE We aimed to identify a novel transdermal delivery peptide and to

Blood serum alkaline phosphatase (AP) level was found elevated in the patients suffering from eczema, neurodermatitis, eczema with large skin sites involved, and in those with trophic ulcers of various origins, as against normal subjects and reference patients with sarcoidosis and Kaposi's sarcoma.

L-glutamine (Gln) is a nonessential amino acid that is the most abundant amino acid in plasma. Gln has been reported to have an anti-inflammatory activity that involves deactivation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in a MAPK phosphatase (MKP)-1-dependent manner. This study investigated

Interleukin(IL)-17 producing gamma delta (γδT17) cells are innate lymphocytes critical for anti-bacterial protection at barrier surfaces such as the skin but also highly pathogenic during inflammation. It is therefore important to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms that could

BACKGROUND Wheat protein and its derivatives can cause protein contact dermatitis (PCD), which mainly occurs in bakers. Few studies have attempted to identify the allergens responsible for wheat PCD. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to identify allergenic wheat proteins in patients with wheat

Atopic dermatitis (AD) affects 10% to 20% of children worldwide. Its severity may be inversely correlated with 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) levels. Although low levels of vitamin D (VD) can cause rickets in infants, VD deficiency rickets is an unusual presentation in teenagers. We report the case of

Electronmicroscopical investigation on 12 cutaneous biopsies of different localisation showed that the seborrhoic dermatitis is not comparable to a psoriatic tissue-reaction. Both, the cyto-morphological feature and the demonstrated localisation of the acid phosphatase are distinctly different from

Twenty-two dogs with superficial necrolytic dermatitis were evaluated prospectively, twenty-one of which had characteristic crusting lesions of the paw pads. Histologically, epidermal lesions included parakeratosis and laminar intracellular edema. The plasma amino acid concentrations of eight dogs
