Lichen planus is a relatively common mucocutaneous disease in adult patients, but it is more rare in children. Topical corticosteroids are the first line of treatment in most pediatric patients with a localized classic form of lichen planus. We report the case of a child with cutaneous lichen planus who did not respond to topical steroids but showed complete resolution once switched to 0.03% tacrolimus ointment. © 2008 The Authors.

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is an autosomal dominant progressive myopathy, characteristically associated with a 4q35 deletion. In the unusual infantile-onset form of this degenerative disease, sensorineural hearing loss is a frequent clinical manifestation, whereas in patients with typical late-onset FSHD, investigations regarding hearing impairment yielded controversial results. We describe the findings of a multicenter investigation on possible auditory impairment in a series of 73 FSHD patients with a genetically confirmed diagnosis. Among them, 49 cases with no risk factors for deafness, aside from the disease, were identified by a clinical questionnaire and otoscopic examination (mean age 37.8 years, 31 males and 18 females). These subjects were evaluated by pure-tone audiometry. None were aware of hearing loss, while 4 had raised unilateral or bilateral pure-tone audiometric thresholds at 4000 and 8000 Hz, when evaluated by standardized tables. However, the mean raw pure-tone audiometric threshold values for these 49 cases were not significantly different from those of 55 controls (mean age 37.1 years, 32 males and 23 females). Moreover, by statistical analysis, age of onset, degree of muscular weakness and 4q35 EcoRI fragment size made no significant difference to auditory thresholds in our FSHD patients. Overall, the results of our multicenter study suggest that hearing loss in typical FSHD is not more prevalent than in the normal population. Copyright © 2008 S. Karger AG.

Peptides of alternating charge and hydrophobic amino acids have a tendency to adopt unusually stable β-sheet structures that can form insoluble macroscopic aggregates under physiological conditions. In this study, analogues of a well-known self-assembling peptide, characterized by the same polar/nonpolar periodicity but with different residues, were designed to study the relationship between sequence, conformation in solution and film-forming capacity in saline solution. Peptide conformation, evaluated by circular dichroism, correlated with film forming capacity observed by inverted optical microscopy after addition of saline solution and subsequent drying. We found that polar/nonpolar periodicity of several analogues is not criterion enough to induce β-sheet and thus film formation and that conformations different from β-sheet also allow self-assemblage. Furthermore, addition of the short adhesive sequence RGD to a known self-assembling sequence was shown to not prevent the self-assembling process. This finding might prove useful for the design of biomimetic scaffolds. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

We present a new formulation for N = 1, D = 10 supergravity in superspace, in presence of a Lorentz Chern-Simons form. This formulation entails the following properties: it furnishes a solution of the Bianchi identities that is algebraically consistent to all orders in α′; at first order it is the simplest formulation proposed so far, and it is therefore most suitable for an explicit higher order analysis; it allows a well defined perturbative expansion in α′, in which no poltergeist fields appear; it reconciles the two different classes of first order solutions available in the literature, that until now appeared physically inequivalent.

Glycogen storage disease type II (GSDII) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal disorder caused by mutations in the gene encoding alpha-glucosidase (GAA). The disease can be clinically classified into three types: a severe infantile form, a juvenile and an adult-onset form. Cases with juvenile or adult onset GSDII mimic limb-girdle muscular dystrophy or polymyositis and are often characterized by respiratory involvement. GSDII patients are diagnosed by biochemical assay and by molecular characterization of the GAA gene. Ascertaining a natural history of patients with heterogeneous late-onset GSDII is useful for evaluating their progressive functional disability. A significant decline is observed over the years in skeletal and respiratory muscle function. Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) has provided encouraging results in the infantile form. It is not yet known if ERT is effective in late-onset GSDII. We examined a series of 11 patients before and after ERT evaluating muscle strength by MRC, timed and graded functional tests, 6-minute walk test (6MWT), respiratory function by spirometric parameters and quality of life. We observed a partial improvement during a prolonged follow-up from 3 to 18 months. The use of different clinical parameters in the proposed protocol seems crucial to determine the efficacy of ERT, since not all late-onset patients respond similarly to ERT. © 2009, SAGE Publications.

Background: In vitro measurements of sunscreen products are used to assess their reliability in terms of photoprotection and photo-stability. Objective: In this study, several substrates have been fully characterized for in vitro sunscreen testing. Methods: The following different substrates have been utilised in the study: roughened PMMA plates, Transpore, Vitro-Skin, roughened quartz plate and a laboratory prepared roughened PTFE plate. The suitability of these substrates for SPF evaluation has been investigated by performing total absorbance measurements of seven sunscreen products with different SPF values produced by the same manufacturer. Results and conclusions: Application of sunscreen products on Transpore, roughened quartz plate, PMMA, PTFE and Vitro-Skin was performed efficiently. With regard to photo-stability of the substrate materials, only PMMA plate, PTFE and roughened quartz plate showed to be photo-stable after UV irradiation. With regard to SPF tests, our results indicate that Transpore, roughened quartz plate and Vitro-Skin are preferable to assess SPF values because of a better correlation between in vitro and in vivo measurements. Our study also confirms that an initial calibration must be performed for sunscreen products labelled with different SPF values. Finally, the results of our measurements demonstrate that, although a correlation between in vitro and in vivo SPF results can be established, it is never exactly 1:1. © 2009 Japanese Society for Investigative Dermatology.
