The occurrence of Pityrosporum ovale was studied in healthy children, children with infantile seborrhoeic dermatitis (ISD) and in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD). Twenty children with ISD and twenty healthy infants were subjected to culture for P. ovale. Positive cultures were found in 18 of 20 infants with ISD, compared with 4 of 20 controls. The same culture medium containing olive oil as one of the lipids was used to evaluate the frequency of positive P. ovale cultures in 60 patients with AD, 40 patients with rhinoconjunctivitis and/or asthma (RA) and 40 children and young adults with no atopic history (HC). The results of the quantitative cultures from the forehead did not differ between the groups. P. ovale cultures were positive in 0-20% of children aged 0-10 years and in 60-90% of the 11-20-year-old subjects. Positive P. ovale cultures were found in 87% of 138 healthy children aged 2 months to 15 years when cultures were performed on a medium containing whole fat cows' milk as one lipid source. The largest number of colonies was found among children aged 2-23 months and among children older than 9 years. The occurrence of specific IgE antibodies to P. ovale was evaluated with a skin prick test (SPT) and RAST and compared in 3 groups (AD, RA, HC) of patients aged 0-20 years. Specific IgE were found most often in patients with AD. In patients with AD on different parts of the body, 15% had a positive SPT to P. ovale. In another group of patients, aged 14-53 years, with AD localised mainly to the head and neck area, the SPT was positive in 55% of the patients. Sera from 13 patients with positive SPT to P. ovale were further analysed with IgE immunoblotting using both P. ovale and C. albicans antigens. Simultaneous IgE-binding to both these yeasts was found in 5 sera and these were analysed with RAST-inhibition. Cross-reacting IgE antibodies to P. ovale and C. albicans were found in two of these sera. Cross-reacting sera were pooled and used as an IgE probe in crossed radioimmunoelectrophoresis and Tandem-crossed immunoelectrophoresis. Cross-reacting epitopes were suggested to be located in the mannan polysaccharide of C. albicans and in a high molecular weight fraction of P. ovale.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

During recent years several highly developed non-invasive methods for evaluation of skin physiology and pathology have been introduced. Against this background, the present studies were undertaken with the primary aim of assessing the effects of various skin care products on some properties of the skin. Skin topography was measured by profilometry on skin replicas, friction with a newly developed friction instrument, capacitance with a Corneometer, and barrier function both with an Evaporimeter to assess transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and by application of an irritant followed by measurement of the resulting irritative reaction. Initially some of the techniques were used to further characterize the differences between dry atopic skin and normal skin. Dry skin exhibits increased values of roughness parameters and a reduced number of topographical peaks. TEWL is increased, indicating impaired barrier function. The friction and capacitance are lower and correlate significantly to each other, whereas TEWL does not appear to relate to either of these parameters. The use of a scrub cream removes the outermost part of the stratum corneum, resulting in a smoother skin. Application of moisturizers modifies the frictional response of the skin. The friction instrument gave results comparable to those of panelists trained in sensory evaluation. The study suggests that measurement of skin friction can be used to predict the degree of liking of moisturizers. Furthermore, moisturizers increase the skin hydration. They provide water directly to the skin from their water phase. Skin hydration also increases with increased degree of occlusion, as measured as a decrease in TEWL. Moisturizers may also alter the diffusional resistance of the stratum corneum and reduce the skin susceptibility to the surfactant sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS). Lipids in moisturizers may influence already developed SLS-induced irritation. A significantly lower degree of irritation was found in areas treated with canola oil and its sterol-enriched fraction than in an area treated with water. These findings emphasize that skin care products do not only form an inert, epicutaneous layer, but that they may penetrate and influence the structure and function of the skin.

Clinical reports of hereditary palmoplantar keratoderma are generally based on a limited number of patients. In 1967 the prevalence in the northernmost county of Sweden (Norrbotten) was shown to be 0.55%. In 1982 it was possible to trace half of the original propositi from that study. Among these families, a severe clinical form with a presumed recessive inheritance could be distinguished. The clinical pictures in relatives of the original propositi were described, and other diseases were listed together with those in patients from previously performed studies. The frequency of dermatophytosis was 36.2%, which was equal to a prevalence of 37.6%. T. mentagrophytes occurred significantly more often and immunological factors, such as increased presence of blood group A, specific dermatophyte IgG antibodies, precipitating antibodies and an immunological in vitro reaction to keratin, supported differences in the distribution of dermatophytes. However, the amount of keratin was considered the most important factor for the affinity of dermatophytes to the palms and soles. A vesicular eruption along the hyperkeratotic border and a mononuclear cell infiltrate were often reported. Such reactions were interpreted as immunological reactions to dermatophytosis. Scaling and fissuring were considered clinical signs of dermatophyte infections and not a part of the originally reported clinical picture. Results of the histopathological study corresponded to previously reported descriptions of the Unna-Thost variety. However, it has recently been reported that the histopathological picture of this variety was based on histopathological features of epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma. The existence on the Continent of the Unna-Thost variety was therefore questioned. Histopathological features of epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma were not found in the County of Norrbotten and the designation "Diffuse HPPK type Norrbotten" has therefore been proposed. The histopathological picture of the presumed recessive variety did not differ from that of the dominant variety but ultrastructural characteristics differentiated it from Mal de Meleda and the dominant variety. It was therefore concluded that a new variety with a presumed recessive inheritance was found.
遗传性掌跖角化病的临床报告通常基于有限数量的患者。1967年，瑞典最北端县(Norrbotten)的患病率为0.55%。1982年，从该研究中可以追溯出一半的原始提议。在这些家庭中，严重的临床形式与假定的隐性遗传可以区分。描述了原始受试者亲属的临床表现，并将其他疾病与先前进行的研究中患者的疾病列在一起。皮肤癣的发生率为36.2%，相当于37.6%的患病率。T. mentagrophytes的发生频率明显更高，免疫因素，如血型A的增加、特异性皮肤真菌IgG抗体、沉淀抗体和对角蛋白的体外免疫反应，支持了皮肤真菌分布的差异。然而，角蛋白的数量被认为是皮肤真菌对手掌和鞋底亲和力的最重要因素。沿角化过度边界的水泡性爆疹和单个核细胞浸润常被报道。这些反应被解释为对皮肤真菌病的免疫反应。结垢和裂裂被认为是皮肤真菌感染的临床症状，而不是最初报道的临床症状的一部分。组织病理学研究的结果与先前报道的Unna-Thost品种的描述相符。然而，最近有报道称，该品种的组织病理学图是基于表皮松解性掌跖角化病的组织病理学特征。因此，乌纳-托斯特品种在大陆上的存在受到了质疑。在Norrbotten郡未发现表皮松解性掌跖角化病的组织病理学特征，因此提出了“弥漫性HPPK型Norrbotten”的命名。隐性品种的组织病理学图与显性品种没有差异，但超微结构特征将其与Mal de Meleda和显性品种区分开来。因此得出结论，发现了一个假定具有隐性遗传的新品种。

The aim of this study was to compare, by stratification, subgroups of hairdressers. Three groups were considered: Group I (102 persons) consisted of hairdressers reporting skin affection at the time of completing an earlier mailed questionnaire (point prevalence). Group II reported exanthema prior to completing, while group III reported not having had exanthema at all (51 and 50 persons, respectively). No significant difference was found between these groups with regard to age and duration in work. The mean number of months since start of disease was significantly higher for group I (64 (range: 0.5-552)) than group II (7 (range: 0.6-38)). The frequency of atopic dermatitis was 12.7% (C.I: 6.3-19.2) in group I, compared with 3.9% (C.I: 0.0-9.2) in group II and none in group III. This difference between groups was significant. A significantly higher extent of sick leave was found in group I, compared to group II.

The aim of this study was to show degree and pattern of hand eczema in affected hairdressers (n = 69), compared with a control group of teachers (n = 19). Both groups consisted of employees having eczema, confirmed by the visit of a doctor at the working place. The mean age for the affected hairdressers was 27 years (range: 17-63) and for the teachers 43 years (range: 27-57). The mean duration of employment was 96 months for the hairdressers (range: 2-552) and 182 months for the teachers (range: 25-336). The localization of eczematous lesions, presence of efflorescenses and extent of skin affection were recorded by constructing scores for these variables. The mean number of localizations was significantly higher in hairdressers than in teachers; this was caused by greater affection of fingers in hairdressers compared to teachers. Seventy-five percent of the hairdressers and 79% of the teachers had only modest or very moderate erythema. Fourteen percent and 5%, respectively, had vesicular dermatitis. The right upper limb was most affected in both hairdressers and teachers. Three subgroups of hairdressers were considered: hairdressers with atopic dermatitis, those with only atopic mucosal symptoms and those without atopic symptoms. No significant differences were found between these groups, except a significant higher finger involvement in atopics compared to non-atopics.

The aim of this cross-sectional study was to estimate the prevalence of dermatitis of the hands and/or forearms among hairdressers compared with a control group of elementary school teachers. Questionnaires were sent to 818 hairdressers and 816 teachers. The response rates were 83% and 65%, respectively. The mean age for those completing the questionnaire, was 28 years (range: 17-71) for the hairdressers and 45 years (range: 20-70) for the teachers. The mean number of months employed in these occupations was 105 (range: 1-672) and 186 (range: 0-516), respectively. Forty-two per cent of the hairdressers and 23% of the teachers suffered or had been suffering from exanthema of the hands and/or forearms. Sixty-one and 15%, respectively, related the skin disease to work.

The aim of this follow up study was to show how career dropouts among young hairdressers are related to various health complaints. Questionnaires were sent to 286 hairdressers, who had been registered as trainees three to five years earlier. The forms were returned from 124 hairdressers, of whom 26 (21%) reported that they stopped working as hairdressers because of various health complaints. Eight (6.5%) left their job because of skin conditions.

The aim of this study was to show degree and pattern of hand eczema in affected hairdresser trainees (n = 52), compared with a general population of affected hairdressers (n = 69). The mean ages were 18 years (range: 16-25) for the trainees and 27 years (range: 17-63) for the hairdressers. For the latter group, the mean number of months spent in profession was 96 (range: 2-552) and the number of working hours per week was 36 (range: 4-50). Twenty-seven per cent of all trainees (67/246) were reported to have had initial of eczematous lesions on the hands and/or forearms during their apprenticeship. The extent of skin affection, as assessed by scores for localization and distribution of eczema, was significantly lower in trainees, compared with the general population of hairdressers. Patch test revealed sensitization to nickel to be prominent in both groups; 34% among affected hairdressers and 26% among affected and non-affected trainees. Of the hairdressers, 3% had allergy to hair dye (2.5-toluenediamine), while 8% were sensitized to glyceryl monothioglycolate. None of the trainees were sensitized to those two chemicals.
