Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a complex disease that affects up to 20% of children and impacts the quality of patients and families in a significant manner. New insights into the pathophysiology of AD point to an important role of structural abnormalities in the epidermis combined with immune dysregulation. Filaggrin (FLG) is synthesized as a large precursor, profilaggrin, and is expressed in the upper layers of the epidermis. FLG plays a critical role in the epidermal barrier, and FLG mutations cause abnormal epidermal function. FLG mutations are strongly associated with early-onset, and persistent severe AD. In addition, FLG deficiency in the epidermis is related to allergic sensitization and asthma. The basic skin care including repair and protection of the skin barrier with proper hydration and topical anti-inflammatory therapy is important to control the severity of skin disease in patients with AD.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the sensitivity of electrodiagnostic parameters in the patients with asymptomatic diabetic neuropahty. METHOD: The subjects were 26 patients with asymptomatic diabetic neuropathy and 40 healthy adults as control group. All subjects underwent electrodiagnostic evaluation of the following motor nerves: median, ulnar, tibial, and peroneal. Sensory nerves included: median, ulnar, radial, superficial peroneal, sural, lateral dorsal cutaneous branch of the sural nerve (LDSN) and medial plantar. And other studies were the sural/radial amplitude ratio, LDSN/sural amplitude ratio, peroneal and tibial F-responses, and H-reflex recorded from the soleus muscle. The frequency of abnormal parameters in the patients with asymptomatic diabetic neuropathy was obtained by comparison with the normative limits obtained from the control group. RESULTS: The most frequent abnormal electrodiagnostic parameters were the LDSN onset latency and the amplitude ratio of LDSN/sural (84.6%, respectively) followed by the LDSN peak latency, LDSN amplitude, and medial plantar onset and peak latency (80.8%, respectively). CONCLUSION: We concluded that the LDSN and medial plantar nerve conduction studies are useful for early detection of neuropathy in diabetes mellitus.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the morphologic findings of the labrum and capsuloligamentous structures in the normal and unstable shoulders and to compare the effectiveness of double contrast arthrographic findings which were taken with supine and prone position. We reviewed the computerized tomographic arthrogram in 9 cases of normal shoulder and l3 cases of shoulder instability. We evaluated the shape of the labrum, the attachment of anterior capsule and the amount of capsular laxity. Capsular laxity was compared each others in normal, the unidirectional instability and the multidirectional instability. Among these materials, we simultaneously performed CT arthrogram with supine and prone position and evaluated which is more reliable and accurate. Scapular inclination was ahout 25 degrees in the supine position and ahout 60 degrees in the prone position. Normal glenoid labrum varied in size and shape, so its lack of a classic appearance might not indicate a labral tear. Variations existed in the anterior capsular attachment onto the glenoid. The anterior capsule was used to attach far away from the glenoid rim. but it might not indicate an anterior instability. With the prone position, the labral lesion took more excellent visualization due to the contrast coating on the glenoid labrum in both anterior and posterior. Anterior capsular expansion was seen well with prone position in anterior instability. In summary, for proper interpretation of the instability, awareness of the morphologic variations of the labrum and capsuloligamentous structure is important. CT double contrast arthrography with prone position has made a significant contribution to improving and easing the documentation of variety of anatomic abnormalities. Now we recommend the prone position in CT arthrogram for imaging glenoid labrum pathology in shoulder instability.
