A 34-year-old woman with discoid lupus erythematosus and lupus profundus was admitted to our hospital showing signs of a fever, malaise, and abdominal swelling. Diagnosis of cytophagic histiocytic panniculitis (CHP) was made based on lobular panniculitis with a hemophagocytosis. Treatment with high doses of prednisolone combined with cyclosporine A (CsA) was not effective enough. However, after changing CsA to tacrolimus (TAC), CHP improved. Our case demonstrates that TAC may be a novel therapy for CHP.

  1. Redox Balance via Lactate Dehydrogenase is Important for Multiple Stress Resistance and Virulence in Enterococcus faecalis.
    Nosheen Fatima Rana, Nicolas Sauvageot, and Axel Hartke

    We show in this work that general resistance to very different environmental stresses depends on its ability to maintain redox balance via Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Furthermore, LDH-deficient mutants are less successful in colonizing host organs in a systemic murine infection model. Altogether, o...

    We examined the morphology, nanohardness, elastic modulus, nanowear, and fluoride uptake of fluoride-treated enamel followed by CO2 laser irradiation for 5 and 10 sec, respectively. We found that laser treatments significantly increased the mechanical properties of the calcium-fluoride-like deposits...
