Patch Clamp01:18

Patch Clamp

7.0K
Many fundamental cell functions such as muscle contraction and nerve transmission rely on the electrical signals produced by the movement of positively and negatively charged ions across the cell membrane. One competent method to record current flowing across the whole cell or single ion channel is the patch-clamp technique.
In this method, a glass micropipette containing electrolyte solution is tightly sealed against a small portion of the cell membrane. As a result, a patch of the cell...

Long-patch Base Excision Repair

Since the discovery of the two BER pathways, there has been a debate about how a cell chooses one pathway over the other and the factors determining this selection. Numerous in vitro experiments have pointed out multiple determinants for the sub-pathway selection. These are:

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Allergology
  • Contact Dermatitis

Background:

  • The strip patch test offers a standardized method for diagnosing allergic contact dermatitis.
  • Evidence regarding the reliability of the strip patch test is currently limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the parallel-test reliability of the strip patch test against the conventional patch test.
  • To provide evidence supporting the clinical utility of the strip patch test.

Main Methods:

  • A multicenter, prospective, randomized, investigator-blinded reliability study.
  • 132 subjects underwent simultaneous duplicate strip and conventional patch tests.
  • Standard patch test preparations (nickel sulfate, potassium dichromate, lanolin alcohol) were used with Cohen's kappa coefficient for reliability estimation.

Main Results:

  • The strip patch test showed acceptable parallel-test reliability for all three standard preparations.
  • Slight reliability advantages were observed for the strip patch test over the conventional method, particularly for nickel sulfate and potassium dichromate.
  • Reliability differences favored the strip patch test by 9% for nickel sulfate and 23% for potassium dichromate.

Conclusions:

  • The standardized strip patch test is a reliable method for detecting allergic contact sensitization.
  • The strip patch test is recommended for routine clinical practice in managing suspected allergic contact dermatitis.
  • This method is particularly valuable when conventional patch test results may be false negative.
