    Abstract A female patient in her 50s presented with blue discolouration of several toes and with single nail dystrophy affecting the little toenail. The nail changes were considered to be secondary to poor circulation and chilblains, which led to delay in the diagnosis of amelanotic subungual melanoma.

    Abstract Pseudoainhum is a rare and poorly characterised phenomenon involving autoamputation of a digit associated with an identifiable or related disease process. We describe the case of a 19-year-old man with long-standing neurodisability, sensorineural hearing loss and severe keratoderma, presenting with painless rapidly-progressing autoamputation of his left little toe. Genetic analysis thus far has been inconclusive. The toe appeared to be hanging on by a thread, with no clinical signs of infection. Radiographs showed lysis with complete resorption of the proximal phalynx. Routine blood tests found an isolated neutropenia with normal C reactive protein and biochemistry. We report an unusual case of a young adult with a history of chronic neurological and dermatological problems presenting with secondary pseudoainhum and provide a valuable addition to the limited literature describing this rare condition.

    Abstract The mechanisms whereby narrowband ultraviolet B (UVB) (311-313 nm, TL01) phototherapy are effective in psoriasis may differ from those occurring in broadband UVB phototherapy. In the present study, changes in epidermal cells as a result of TL01 therapy were assessed in the skin of patients with psoriasis. The non-lesional skin of five subjects with plaque psoriasis was biopsied before and after a series of 12 whole-body TL01 treatments. Following appropriate staining of skin sections, the numbers of p53-positive keratinocytes, sunburn cells and Langerhans cells in the epidermis were counted. TL01 therapy induced a threefold increase in the number of p53-positive epidermal cells, a 12-fold increase in sunburn cells and a twofold decrease in Langerhans cells. The increase in epidermal p53 expression and apoptosis of keratinocytes together with the depletion of Langerhans cells in the non-lesional skin of psoriasis patients are likely to contribute to the effectiveness of TL01 phototherapy.

    Abstract Selenium (Se) has protective properties against ultraviolet (UV)-induced changes in skin cells in vitro but little is known about such activity in human subjects. In the present study, seven patients with psoriasis ingested 400 microg of sodium selenite daily during a 4 week course of whole-body narrow-band UVB (TL01) therapy while six more psoriasis patients, similarly irradiated, ingested a placebo. Skin biopsies, collected at the start and end of the phototherapy were analysed for phosphorylated p53, Fas, Bcl-2, Bax and oxidized guaninosine, and for numbers of Langerhans and sunburn cells. Following the TL01 therapy, no significant difference was observed for any of these markers when the Se group was compared with the placebo group of patients, although p53 and Bcl-2 expression decreased in the Se supplemented group.

    Abstract The generation of a productive primary immune response is dependent on the ability of naïve T lymphocytes to recirculate through peripheral lymph organs to encounter specific antigen. The process of naïve CD4(+) T cell entry into lymph nodes correlates with cell surface expression of L-selectin (CD62L), which mediates early tethering and rolling events to endothelium prior to entry. Here, we demonstrate that surface expression of CD62L enhances CD4(+) T cell activation in vitro. The synthetic hydroxamate metalloproteinase inhibitor (BB-3103), specifically inhibits activation-induced shedding of CD62L from CD4(+) T cells by TCR cross-linking and lowers proliferation in part by reducing rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of zeta-associated protein 70 kDa (ZAP-70) and by increasing cytosolic free Ca(2+) concentration mobilization. BB-3103 also inhibited the proliferative response of both murine CD4(+) Th1 and Th2 subsets in vitro but the inhibitory effects were sustained only in Th2-type cells. Similarly, BB-3103 mediated prolonged inhibition of allergen-dependent peripheral T cell proliferation in atopic dermatitis patients but not in healthy controls. Analysis of CD62L expression on murine CD4(+) T cell subsets revealed that surface expression was maintained on Th1 cells but not Th2 cells. The differential effects of BB-3103 on primed effector CD4(+) T cells may provide new insights into generating therapeutic agents capable of redressing the Th2/Th1 imbalance in allergic diseases.
