A case of a 54-year old man with lichen mucosae and Sjögren's syndrome was reported. Clinical and histopathological analysis was made on the presence of sicca features in 6 patients with lichen mucosae. All patients complained either xerophthalmia or xerostomia and 5 out of 6 cases showed specific lymphocytic foci seen in Sjögren's syndrome in addition to lichenoid tissue reaction in the specimen obtained from buccal mucosae. Objective keratoconjunctivitis sicca was demonstrated in 3 cases. Immunologically, abnormal laboratory findings were observed in 5 cases (4 cases with a positive ANA and 3 cases with a positive anti microsome antibody). These findings suggest that lichen mucosae might develop in a close association with Sjögren's syndrome and relationship between these two disease was discussed in this article.

The skin surface pH of 88 patients undergoing hemodialysis was investigated. The average of skin surface pH as measured at four different sites (forehead, forearm, palm and lower leg) was 4.5-5.0 and 5.0-6.0 in normal subjects and patients respectively. The difference in the two results was regarded as significant by Student's t test (p less than 0.01).

HLA antigens were studied in 11 cases of patients with recurrent erythema and anti-SS-B antibody. Among DR antigens positive associations with DR5, DRw6 (including DRw13), and DRw52 were obtained. These data demonstrated that 11 cases of this report are immunogenetically closely related to each other and appear to be related to Sjögren's/lupus erythematosus overlap patients.

Expression pattern of the retinoic acid receptor (RAR) genes in normal human skin was investigated by in situ hybridization method. Using the riboprobes from cDNAs for three subtypes of RAR, we found that the RAR-alpha and the RAR-gamma genes were expressed in the epidermis. Significant expression of the RAR-beta gene was detected neither in the epidermis nor in the dermis. Expression of the RAR-alpha and -gamma genes was detected both in te basal cell layer and in the squamous cell layers. Moreover, the RAR-alpha and -gamma genes were expressed in the eccrine sweat glands as well. These results indicate that the target cells for retinoic acid (RA) in human skin are keratinocytes and the epithelial cells of epidermal appendages. These findings thus demonstrate that, among three subtypes of RAR, both RAR-alpha and RAR-gamma are essential for control of epidermal and epithelial cell differentiation in human skin.

Twenty-five patients with severe atopic dermatitis (AD) were subjected to PUVA therapy (topical 8-MOP application plus UVA irradiation). Excellent resolution was achieved in 18 cases (72%). Complete remission lasting 6.3 months in average was gained. In addition, the correlation between effectiveness of PUVA therapy and clinical parameters was statistically analyzed. As a result, an effectiveness of PUVA on AD was well correlated with sex (female), lower minimal phototoxic dose, higher severity and higher blood eosinophil counts. On the other hand, such correlation with the effectiveness was little in serum IgE levels, IgE.RAST scores to the house dust antigens and total irradiation doses.
