ObjectiveTo seek experimental evidence of epidermal barrier dysfunction in psoriasis,and to provide a basis for adjuvant therapy of psoriasis.MethodsPhysiometric methods were used to determine the value of sebum content,transepidermal water loss(TEWL) and water content of stratum corneum in 60 patients with psoriasis and 48 normal human controls.The ultrastructure of lamellar bodies was observed with transmission electron microscopy,and the expression of acid ceramidase in normal skin and psoriatic lesions was detected by using immunohistochemical techniques.ResultsCompared with the normal skin,TEWL value was increased(P < 0.01),but water content of stratum corneum decreased(P < 0.01 ) in psoriatic lesions,and sebum content was similar between normal skin and psoriatic lesions.As electron microscopy showed,lamellar bodies in keratinocytes were reduced in number with a disorganized arrangement and irregular size in psoriatic lesions.The expression of acid ceramidase also decreased in psoriatic epidermis.Conclusions The function of epidermal barrier in psoriasis is impaired,and to restore epidermal barrier function and enhance hydration may serve as an important adjuvant therapy of psoriasis.

Objective To evalutate the safty of hBMSCs transpalntation and to observe their migration and distribution in the brain of young macaca fascicularis. To establish a new technology platform and theoretical basis for the treatment of central nervous system diseases in children. Methods Labelled hBMSCs were transplanted into the striatum of young macaca fascicularis. Brain sections were examined to evalutate the inflammatory reaction and immunological rejection of local injection sites by HE observation and immunohistochemical staining. Migration and distribution of transplanted?hBMSCs was observed by real?time fluorescence quantitative PCR of male DNA and fluorescence microscope. Results The results showed that the direct intracerebral injection of hBMSCs did not cause systemic symptoms in animals. There is no inflammatory reaction and immunological rejection was detected, and degeneration and necrosis of neural cells and proliferation of glial cells were absent in the local injection sites. The transplanted hBMSCs survived, and migrated into the brain after 4 weeks transplantation. Its migration and distribution have certain regularity and were overlapping between transplant recipients. In addtion, hBMSCs tended to extend rostrally into the forebrain and showed preference of migrating toward the blood vessels and below the ependyma. Conculsions Intracerebral transplantation of hBMSCs is safe. And hBMSCs can survive and migrate into the brain.
