2.Two Cases of Sex-linked Ichthyosis Improved by an Oral Aromatic Retinoid (Ro 10 - 9359).
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1982;20(3):431-436
We present the therapeutic effects of an aromatic retinoid (Ro 10-9359) in two cases of sex-linked ichthyosis. Case 1, Uncle of Case 2, was a 24-year-old male who had had dark brown scales on the trunk and upper extremities for 15 years. Case 2 was a 10-year-old boy who had had dirty brown scales on the trunk and lower extremities since 3 years of age. The diagnosis of sex-linked ichthyosis was made by characteristic scales and histopathologic findings. Initially, both patients received an oral aromatic retinoid (Ro 10-9359) with a daily dose of 1.5mg/kg body weight for the first two weeks. Thereafter the drug was tapered gradually to the dose of 0.5mg/kg body weight according to the therapeutic response. There was near complete clearing of the skin lesions in both patients after 10 weeks treatment. Side effects were of mild intensity and included dryness of mouth and nose, chelitis, paronychia and arthralgia of knee joint.

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a gram-negative halophilic organism commonly associated with outbreaks of acute gastroenteritis which also sometimes causes serious wound infection. It is an uncommon cause of bacteremia. We have experienced a case of bacteremia due to Vibrio parahaemolyticus in a 59-year old man who initially presented with edema and dyspnea. He was diagnosed as liver cirrhosis, gastric cancer, and hepatoma. On hospital day 13, Vibrio parahaemolyticus was isolated from blood culture. The isolate showed typical cultural and biochemical characteristics such as salt tolerance and did not ferment lactose. The isolate was intermediate to ampicillin but susceptible to other agents.

It is believed that the photopatch test is a valuable screening procedure for the determination of responsible antigenic substances in photoallergic contact dermatitis. But the technigues used for this procedure are cumbersome and require expensive equipment. In the present study, we adapted an easy and inexpensive photopatch test met- hod to our need. We report the results of this test method which was performed. in 21 patients with photodermatitis and 9 patients with polymorphic light eruption. 1. The UVB sensitivity determined by minimal erytherna dose (mean+-standard deviation) was I1618mW sec/cm in photodermatitis group, 108+ROmW sec/cm in polymorphic light eruption group and 126-+32mW-sec/cm in control group. But there was no significant difference among them (p>0. 05). 2. The reaction to UVA were negative in all groups. R. The photopatch test using IO potential photosensitizers revealed 12 positive responses in 9 patients; including 7 patients in photodermatitis group and 2 patients in polymorphic light eruption group. And the number of positive photopatch responses obtaied with each photosensitizer in RO patients with photodermatoses was 5 in chlorhexidine, 2 in paraaminobenzoic acid, musk ambrette and bithionol and 1 in chlorpromazine, respectively.

The experiment was performed to investigate changes of maternal immune status during the pregnancy. We observed the distribution of several immune cells [macrophage, activated B-cell, IgM+ B-cell, Lyt-2+ T-cell and L3T4+ T-cells] in the utero-placental interface and the peripheral blood of Balb/c mice. The experimental animals were divided into seven groups by the gestational ages ; virgin, 2nd, 5th, 8th, 10th, 14th and 19th day of pregnancy. In the utero-placental interface, the distribution patterns of the lymphocytes [both T and B] and macrophages were observed. Histochemical staining by naphthol-AS-MX phosphate sodium salt was used for the detection of activated B-cells. For the detection of macrophage, plasma cell, suppressor cell and helper cell, all the prepared samples reacted with Rat anti-mouse Mac-1, goat anti-mouse IgM, rat anti-Lyt2 and rat anti-L3T4 antibody first, and washed. Second reaction was done with biotinylated anti-rat or anti-mouse IgG anti-bodies, and washed. Avidin-biotin -peroxidase complex and 3, 3`-diamino-benzidine[DAB] were used for the visualization of specific cells. T-cells and B-cells were not observed during the all stages of pregnancy. By contrast, macrophages were observed a few at the perimetrium on the second day of gestation, and they were found at the outermost portion of the trophoblastic layer on the 8th day, and they were observed at the decidua basalis in late pregnancy after the 10th day when the placenta were well developed. In the peripheral blood, activated B-cells were not observed throughout the pregnancy. On the 8th day, the proportion of plasma cells to total mononuclear cells was decreased significantly to 16+/-2.4% compared with the virgin group[22+/-2.6%][p<0.01]. It increased again and it reached 42+/-5.8% on the 14th day and 37+/-4.9% on the 19th day. Helper T-cells were decreased on the 14th day[30+/-2.4%] compared with the normal control[47+/-5.1%]. But, Suppressor T-cells were increased on the 8th day[35+/-2.9%] and the 10th day[33+/-3.6%] compared with the normal controls[27+/-2.3%]. This decrement returned to the level of the normal controls on the 14th day and 19th day. Together with our previous data, we could find the synchronized changes of immune cells in utero-placental interface, uterus draining lymph nodes, peripheral blood and spleen. Therefore, we suggest that macrophages in utero-placental interface may play an important role for the immune responses against the fetal transplantation antigen.
