  1. Balance of Profibrotic and Antifibroting Signaling in Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis Skin Lesions
    Gisela Schieren, Thilo Gambichler, ... Alexander Kreuter

    Am J Kidney Dis 55(6):10 (2010) PMID 20430497

    Dermal expression of nearly all parameters differed in hemodialysis patients compared with healthy controls. In comparison to hemodialysis patients and healthy participants, we found increased messenger RNA levels for TGF-beta, the profibrotic receptor-activated SMAD2 and SMAD3, CTGF, and TIMP-1 in...
  2. CD20, AIF-1, and TGF-beta in graft-versus-host disease: a study of mRNA expression in histologically matched skin biopsies.
    Julie M Wu, Christopher J Thoburn, ... Allan D Hess

    Mod Pathol 23(5):720-8 (2010) PMID 20190732

    Graft-versus-host disease is the leading cause of non-relapse mortality after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. The cell-mediated immune mechanisms that underlie the pathogenesis of graft-versus-host disease remain unclear. In this study, 47 skin biopsies representing graft-versus-host disease...

  3. Crohn's disease and Sweet's syndrome: an uncommon association.
    I I Catalán-Serra, L L Martín-Moraleda, ... M M Bixquert-Jiménez

    Rev Esp Enferm Dig 102(5):331-7 (2010) PMID 20524763

    We present two patients with Crohn's disease and Sweet's syndrome diagnosed in our department at the time of CD diagnosis, as well as their response to treatment, subsequent course of the disease, and a review of the scientific literature....

  4. Non-invasive therapy of wrinkles and lax skin using a novel multisource phase-controlled radio frequency system.
    Monica Elman, Itzhak Vider, ... Avner Shemer

    J Cosmet Laser Ther 12(2):81-6 (2010) PMID 20331345

    Abstract The last few years have shown an increased demand for non-invasive skin tightening to improve body contour. Since light (lasers or intense pulsed light sources) has a limited ability to penetrate deep into the tissue, radio frequency (RF) modalities were introduced for the r...
  5. Implication de l’acide hyaluronique dans l’angiogenèse normale et pathologique, application l’ingénierie cellulaire
    J-J Lataillade, P Albanese, and G Uzan

    Ann Dermatol Venereol (2010) PMID 20435250

    Angiogenesis is a physiological process that allows the formation of new blood vessels, either from the local vascular structures, or from circulating endothelial progenitor cells, mobilized from the bone marrow, and attracted to the neovascularization site. This mechanism is controlled by pro-angio...
  6. Attenuation of the transforming growth factor beta-signaling pathway in chronic venous ulcers.
    Irena Pastar, Olivera Stojadinovic, ... Marjana Tomic-Canic

    Mol Med 16(3-4):92-101 (2010) PMID 20069132

    We analyzed components of TGFbeta signaling pathway in biopsies from 10 patients with nonhealing venous ulcers (VUs). Using comparative genomics of transcriptional profiles of VUs and TGFbeta-treated keratinocytes, we found deregulation of TGFbeta target genes in VUs. Using quantitative polymerase c...

  7. CD56-negative extranodal nasal type of natural killer/T-cell lymphoma with extranasal skin involvement.
    Mo Xiang MX Lan, Zhou Xiang ZX Zhen, and Wei Hai WH Ming

    Leuk Lymphoma 50(10):1715-7 (2009) PMID 19863343

  8. The role of capillaroscopy in differentiation of primary and secondary Raynaud's phenomenon in rheumatic diseases: a review of the literatur...
    Sevdalina Nikolova SN Lambova and Ulf U Müller-Ladner

    Rheumatol Int 29(11):1263-71 (2009) PMID 19547979

    The purpose of this study is to study and systematize the current knowledge about the role of capillaroscopy in differentiation of primary and secondary Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) in rheumatic diseases. This method is a review of the literature. Capillaroscopy is of crucial value for diagnosis and di...
  9. Development of three-dimensional tissue-engineered models of bacterial infected human skin wounds.
    Joanna J Shepherd, Ian I Douglas, ... Sheila S MacNeil

    Tissue Eng Part C Methods 15(3):475-84 (2009) PMID 19292658

    We lack relevant in vivo or in vitro models to study many aspects of bacterial interaction with skin. The aim of this study was to develop three-dimensional models of normal human skin to study bacterial infection. The common dermatological pathogens Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa...
  10. Scleroderma (systemic sclerosis) among Nigerians.
    O O Adelowo and S Oguntona

    Clin Rheumatol 28(9):1121-5 (2009) PMID 19437086

    Scleroderma and other connective tissue diseases have rarely been reported among Africans. The objective of this paper is to have a retrospective study of the clinical and investigative characteristics of scleroderma patients seen in a rheumatology clinic. This was done in a private practice rheumat...
