Desmosomes01:05

Desmosomes

7.4K
The term desmosome derives from the Greek words "desmo" and "soma" meaning "adhesion bodies." This structure was first observed during the late 1800s and described as small, dense nodules in the epidermis. Desmosomes are button-like structures that help form an interlinked network of intermediate filaments across the cells. These junctions are  essential to hold cells together under mechanical stress and to maintain tissue integrity. Desmosomes are multi-protein...

Renal Tubule and Collecting Duct01:24

Renal Tubule and Collecting Duct

4.3K
The renal tubule is divided into three parts: the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT), the Loop of Henle (LOH), and the distal convoluted tubule (DCT).
Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT):
The PCT is the initial segment of the renal tubule, extending from the Bowman's capsule that encloses the glomerulus. Its convoluted structure and microvilli-lined cells increase the surface area for reabsorption. The PCT reabsorbs glucose, amino acids, sodium, and water from the filtrate, ensuring essential...

Hypersensitivity Reactions: Delayed Hypersensitivity Reactions

343
Delayed-Type Hypersensitivity (DTH), or Type IV hypersensitivity, is a cell-mediated immune response. It occurs when T cells, rather than antibodies, mediate a reaction to specific antigens. It is characterized by a delayed onset (1-2 days) and involves the recruitment of macrophages to the inflammation site.The initiation of a DTH response begins with the sensitization of T cells. During this phase, which lasts at least 1-2 weeks, antigen-specific T cells are activated, clonally expanded, and...

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sebaceous Glands01:21

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sebaceous Glands

5.4K
A sebaceous gland is a type of oil gland found almost all over the skin ( except palms and soles) and helps lubricate and waterproof the skin and hair. Most sebaceous glands are associated with hair follicles. They generate and excrete sebum, a mixture of lipids, onto the skin surface, thereby naturally lubricating the dry and dead layer of keratinized cells of the stratum corneum, keeping it pliable.
These glands that produce the oils on the skin and hair are holocrine glands. The mature...

Skin Diseases and Disorders

5.1K
Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Diabetes Insipidus II: Pathophysiology

10
Normally, water balance is maintained through three interconnected mechanisms: the hypothalamic thirst center, the synthesis and release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH, or vasopressin), and the kidneys' responsiveness to this hormone. ADH is synthesized in the hypothalamus, released from the posterior pituitary, and acts on the distal nephron, allowing water reabsorption and concentrated urine production.Diabetes Insipidus and Its TypesIn diabetes insipidus (DI), this regulatory system is...

Summary

Patients with hypohidrotic/anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (H/AED) often show atopic disorder symptoms. H/AED may contribute to skin barrier dysfunction and atopic diathesis, independent of filaggrin.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Genetics
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Hypohidrotic/anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (H/AED) is linked to increased atopic disorder prevalence.
  • Understanding atopic diathesis in H/AED is crucial for patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the characteristics of atopic diathesis in H/AED patients.
  • To explore potential mechanisms underlying atopic manifestations in H/AED.

Main Methods:

  • Evaluation of 6 H/AED cases (clinical/genetic diagnosis).
  • Assessment of sweating, blood tests, histopathology, and filaggrin staining.
  • Analysis of clinical manifestations, including periorbital lesions.

Main Results:

  • Five out of six H/AED cases exhibited atopic dermatitis-like symptoms.
  • Three of these five cases presented with periorbital lesions.
  • Atopic diathesis in H/AED was not associated with filaggrin levels.

Conclusions:

  • H/AED patients frequently display atopic dermatitis-like eruptions, potentially with periorbital involvement.
  • Skin barrier impairment due to hypohidrosis/anhidrosis may drive atopic diathesis in H/AED.
  • Filaggrin is unlikely to be the primary factor in H/AED-associated atopic diathesis.
