An assessment of the use of antihistamines in the management of atopic dermatitis

Antihistamines are often used to treat pruritus associated with atopic dermatitis (AD) despite lack of evidence for their efficacy. The American Academy of Dermatology does not recommend the general use of antihistamines in the management of AD, although the value of short-term sedating antihistamine use for insomnia secondary to itch is recognized.

BackgroundExpression profiling of skin biopsies has established molecular features of the skin in atopic dermatitis (AD). Invasiveness of biopsies has prevented their use in defining individual level AD pathobiological mechanisms (endotypes) in large research studies.ObjectiveTo determine if minimally invasive skin tape strip transcriptome analysis identifies gene expression dysregulation in AD and molecular disease endotypes.MethodsWe sampled non-lesional and lesional skin tape strips and biopsies from adult Caucasian subjects AD patients (18 males, 12 females; age (Mean±SE) 36.3±2.2 yrs) and healthy controls (9 males, 16 females; age (Mean±SE) 34.8±2.2 yrs). Ampliseq whole transcriptome sequencing was performed on extracted RNA. Differential expression, clustering/pathway analyses, immunostaining of skin biopsies, and clinical trait correlations were performed.ResultsSkin tape expression profiles were distinct from skin biopsy profiles and better sampled epidermal differentiation complex genes. Skin tape expression of 29 immune and epidermis-related genes (FDR<5%) separated AD from healthy subjects. Agnostic gene set analyses and clustering revealed 50% of AD subjects exhibited a type 2 inflammatory signature (type 2-high endotype) characterized by differential expression of 656 genes including overexpression of IL13, IL4R, CCL22, CCR4 (log2FC=5.5, 2.0, 4.0, and 4.1, respectively), and at a pathway level by T-helper 2/dendritic cell activation. Both expression and immunostaining of skin biopsies indicated this type 2-high group was enriched for inflammatory, type 2-skewed dendritic cells expressing the high affinity IgE receptor (FcεRI). The type 2-high endotype group exhibited more severe disease by both EASI score and body surface area covered by lesions.ConclusionMinimally invasive expression profiling of non-lesional skin reveals stratification in AD molecular pathology by type 2 inflammation that correlates with disease severity.

Respiratory impedance is correlated with airway narrowing in asthma using three-dimensional computed tomography

Abstract

Background

Respiratory impedance comprises the resistance and reactance of the respiratory system, and can provide detailed information on respiratory function. However, details of the relationship between impedance and morphological airway changes in asthma are unknown.

Objective

We aimed to evaluate the correlation between imaging-based airway changes and respiratory impedance in patients with asthma.

Methods

Respiratory impedance and spirometric data were evaluated in 72 patients with asthma and 29 reference subjects. We measured the intraluminal area (Ai) and wall thickness (WT) of third- to sixth-generation bronchi using three-dimensional computed tomographic analyses, and values were adjusted by body surface area (BSA, Ai/BSA, and WT/the square root (√) of BSA).

Results

Asthma patients had significantly increased respiratory impedance, decreased Ai/BSA, and increased WT/√BSA, as was the case in those without airflow limitation as assessed by spirometry. Ai/BSA was inversely correlated with respiratory resistance at 5 Hz (R5) and 20 Hz (R20). R20 had a stronger correlation with Ai/BSA than did R5. Ai/BSA was positively correlated with forced expiratory volume in 1 second/forced vital capacity ratio, percent predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second, and percent predicted mid-expiratory flow. WT/√BSA had no significant correlation with spirometry or respiratory impedance.

Conclusions & Clinical Relevance

Respiratory resistance is associated with airway narrowing.

IL-6 pathway upregulation in subgroup of severe asthma is associated with neutrophilia and poor lung function

Summary

We have investigated the IL-6 pathway in the severe asthma phenotypes using U-BIOPRED database. A subset of severe asthma patients has increased IL6R mRNA levels and IL-6 protein levels in the sputum. This sub-population is highly neutrophilic and has poorer lung function. These neutrophilic patients have a high unmet medical need and they could potentially benefit from therapy targeting IL-6.

Management of homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia in two brothers

Homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia (HoFH) is a rare, genetic disorder of abnormally high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) requiring aggressive interventions to retard the evolution of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. We treated two brothers (ages 46 years and 47 years) with HoFH with statins, lipoproteinapheresis (LA) and the microsomal triglyceride transfer protein inhibitor lomitapide. Both brothers carried the p.Thr434Arg homozygous LDLR mutation and had childhood total cholesterol levels >700 mg/dL. Inter-LA LDL-C levels remained high; therefore, they were given escalating doses of oral lomitapide (5–10 mg/day). One brother was able to maintain LDL-C levels <70 mg/dL and stop LA. Lomitapide was well tolerated, with only an episode of headache requiring dose reduction from 40 mg/day to 20 mg/day in one patient. In two HoFH cases, lomitapide was an effective and well-tolerated adjunct therapy. Lomitapide doses required to maintain LDL-C goal levels appear to be lower in clinical practice than in clinical trials.

Colovesical fistula: a rare complication after renal transplantation

Colovesical fistula per se is a rare condition and most commonly occurs secondary to diverticular disease in normal patients. Colovesical fistula in the setting of post-renal transplantation is even rarer and very few cases have been reported in literature. Patients with autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) are predisposed to diverticulosis and hence are at a higher risk for fistula formation. Herein, we report a case of colovesical fistula in a renal allograft recipient with ADPKD in the absence of diverticulosis. The patient was successfully operated and is stable with no complications at 1-year follow-up.

Successful management of a 24-year-old pregnant woman with necrotising fasciitis of the forearm

A 24-year-old woman who was 24 weeks pregnant presented to the emergency department with septic shock and an elbow wound that had become infected. She sustained an injury to the tip of the right elbow on a light switch 4 days prior. In the space of 1 day, she developed a necrotising soft tissue infection, which was rapidly spread to the forearm with florid sepsis. Her initial serum C reactive protein was 392 mg/L, and white cell count was 32x10⁹/L. The patient was treated promptly with aggressive surgical debridement and broad-spectrum antibiotics. An early multidisciplinary approach including orthopaedic surgeons, anaesthetics, intensive care, obstetrics, microbiologists and paediatrics was taken. Ultimately, both mother and child had an excellent outcome, the former of whom only had minimal soft tissue resection and primary wound closure. Emphasis is made on first treating the mother as the patient and priority.

Mycophenolate mofetil treatment in a patient with recurrent lymphocytic hypophysitis

Lymphocytic hypophysitis (LHP) is a relatively rare disease characterised by lymphocytic infiltration of the pituitary gland, resulting in pituitary dysfunction. LHP is generally responsive to corticosteroid therapy, but cases with recurrence require clinicians to select second-line therapy. We report here the case of a 58-year-old patient with LHP who developed panhypopituitarism and bitemporal hemianopia. He responded to prednisolone 40 mg/day but relapsed during tapering. The prednisolone dose was increased again and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) was added. Thereafter, over the course of 1 year, prednisolone was tapered to 8 mg/day without relapse. Because of the rarity of LHP, there are no standard treatment protocols that support the choice of a specific immunosuppressive drug. MMF was effective for recurrent LHP in our case. Further accumulation of cases is needed to establish the standard treatment for this disease.

Ureteral intramural metastatic deposit of prostate cancer with ureteric obstruction

True metastatic ureteric lesions are exceptionally rare when sourced from any primary tumour. Primary prostatic cancer metastasis to the ureter is understandably even more atypical with very few cases reported in current literature. True intramural ureteric metastatic disease deposited from prostate cancer is an even rarer occurrence. We present a case of a man in his mid-60s with left-sided hydronephrosis in the setting of biochemical recurrence of Gleason 9 prostate cancer. Initially misdiagnosed as obstruction secondary to mass effect from a large trigonal lesion, subsequent investigation revealed solid intramural metastatic deposit of prostate primary tumour in the distal ureter. We detail current hypotheses regarding the subsequent pathophysiology of the disease and its common clinical presentations. Our case highlights that prostatic metastasis should be considered as a differential in coexisting prostate cancer and ureteric obstruction despite its low incidence.

Guillain-Barre syndrome with exaggerated pleocytosis and anti-GM1 ganglioside antibodies

An 81-year-old man presented with fever, confusion and rapidly-progressive flaccid tetraparesis. Clinical presentation and neurophysiology were consistent with a severe axonal polyneuropathy. Anti-GM1 and Campylobacter serology were both positive, consistent with postinfectious axonal-variant Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). GBS is characterised by albuminocytological dissociation, where an elevated protein and acellular cerebrospinal fluid are typical. However, in this case, CSF analysis revealed an exaggerated pleocytosis (72 white blood cells (WBC)/mm³). No source of central nervous system infection or inflammation was identified despite thorough investigation. The patient was treated with intravenous immunoglobulin and intensive rehabilitation.

Albuminocytological dissociation classically distinguishes GBS from infective causes of flaccid weakness (eg, enteroviruses, flaviviruses and HIV). Diagnostic criteria frequently cite a pleocytosis of <50 WBC/mm³ as required in the diagnosis of GBS. However, this case demonstrates that pleocytosis exceeding this level can occur in the presence of convincing evidence of GBS and without demonstrable neurotropic infection.

Neonatal small left colon syndrome (NSLCS): Rare but important complication in an infant of diabetic mother

Description

A female infant born at 35+6 weeks by caesarean section to a mother with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes was admitted to the neonatal unit due to hypoglycaemia. Birth weight was 3.2 kg (91–98th centile). On day 1, the baby required a glucose load of 10 mg/kg/min to maintain normoglycaemia. By day 2, her blood sugar levels stabilised, feeds were started and intravenous fluids were weaned. With the introduction of feeds, she had milky vomits and abdominal distension. Feeds were stopped and an abdominal X-ray showed a dilated transverse colon with an abrupt transition zone at splenic flexure (figure 1, arrow indicates transition zone). Symptoms resolved after passage of a large, thick plug of mucus and meconium that resembled an intestinal cast (figure 2).

Trichosporon asahii septic thrombophlebitis following lower extremity amputation in an immunocompetent host

A 59-year-old man with a history of peripheral vascular disease status post femoral popliteal bypass presented with critical limb ischaemia of the left leg. An arterial Doppler ultrasound showed an occluded graft requiring an above knee amputation. Five days after surgery, the patient developed fever, leucocytosis, significant stump swelling and pain, and serosanguinous discharge from his wound. Wound swab cultures from the stump grew Trichosporon asahii. A venous Doppler ultrasound revealed extensive thrombosis of the left lower extremity. Biopsy of the left thigh muscle showed necrotic thrombus with fungal hyphae in the clotted blood vessel. The left femoral vein was subsequently resected, and the excised venous tissue also grew T. asahii. The patient was successfully treated with voriconazole based on antifungal susceptibilities. This case describes an invasive fungal infection in the absence of typical immunosuppressive conditions commonly associated with Trichosporon spp. It also illustrates the role of a combination of antimicrobial and surgical management in achieving cure.

Loss of Eed leads to lineage instability and increased CD8 expression of mouse CD4+ T cells upon TGFβ signaling

Publication date: February 2018
Source:Molecular Immunology, Volume 94
Author(s): Taku Naito, Sawako Muroi, Ichiro Taniuchi, Motonari Kondo
Tri-methylation of lysine 27 on histone H3 (H3K27me3) is a repressive epigenetic modification catalyzed by polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) that is required for proper cell fate determination as well as cellular function. Numerous studies have been performed to elucidate the role of PRC2 in T-cell differentiation and function; however, its role in the regulation of T-helper (Th) subset differentiation and identity has not been fully explored. Here, we report that Eed, an essential subunit of PRC2, is crucial to maintain the identity of CD4⁺ T cells under TGFβ-induced regulatory T cell (Treg)-polarizing conditions. Mouse CD4⁺ T cells lacking Eed exhibited unstable CD4 expression upon TCR stimulation in vitro. Helper lineage instability was further augmented by Treg-polarizing conditions, leading to the immense up-regulation of CD8α as well as other molecules, resembling CD4⁺ CD8αα⁺ intraepithelial lymphocyte (DP-IEL) differentiation. Genetic studies suggested that the altered balance between transcription factors T-bet, Runx3, and Th-POK underlies the induction of the DP-IEL-like phenotype in Eed-deficient CD4⁺ cells. Furthermore, comparison to Th1- and Th17-polarizing conditions indicated that cooperation between Smad3 and the T-bet-Runx3 axis facilitated by the loss of H3K27me3 is crucial for phenotype induction. Collectively, our results provide insight into the molecular mechanism that maintains and regulates the proper cellular response upon TGFβ signaling in CD4⁺ T cells.

ImportanceMucinous eccrine carcinoma is a rare entity that most commonly affects the head and neck. Due to its low frequency of occurrence, review of its etiology, histopathology, and treatment strategies is beneficial to all clinicians who may encounter similar appearing masses.ObservationAn 84-year-old male presented with a blue mass on the left cheek. This mass started as a small bump and grew significantly over one year. His primary care physician monitored its growth and ultimately referred to an otolaryngologist. Imaging findings revealed a multi-lobular solid and cystic left buccal lesion. FNA was suggestive of low grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma.InterventionPatient underwent surgical excision with primary closure of the defect. Frozen section was consistent with low grade salivary malignancy. Final pathology revealed primary mucinous eccrine carcinoma of the skin.Conclusions and relevanceMucinous eccrine carcinoma is a rare entity commonly seen in the head and neck region. Mucinous deposits to the skin from primaries elsewhere in the body are much more common than primary lesions of the skin. Histology is a key component of the diagnosis but full oncologic workup is required. Treatment typically includes wide local excision with possible adjuvant chemotherapy or radiation for high risk features.

BackgroundAtopic dermatitis is an inflammatory skin disease in which both genetic and environmental factors interact to determine the susceptibility and severity of the disease.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to determine the association between atopic dermatitis and IL-10 and TGF-β1 gene polymorphisms.MethodsThe allele and genotype frequencies of genes encoding for IL-10 and TGF-β1 were investigated in 89 patients with atopic dermatitis in comparison with 138 in the control group using the PCR-SSP method.ResultsA significant increase was found in the frequency of the TGF-β1 codon 10/C allele among patients (p<0.001, OR=6.77), whereas a significant decrease was observed in the frequency of the T allele at the same position (p<0.001, OR=0.14). The frequency of the TGF-β1 codon 25/G allele in the control group was significantly higher than among patients (p<0.001, OR=0.08). A significant positive correlation was seen between CC (p<0.001, OR=15.10) and CG (p<0.001) genotypes and AD at codons 10 and 25, respectively. The most frequent haplotypes among patients was TGF-β1 CG which was significantly higher than in the control subjects (50% in patients vs. 39.9% in controls, p=0.042). A significant increase was found in the frequency of TGF-β CC (36% in patients vs. 7.6% in controls, p<0.001) and TC (14% in patients vs. 0% in controls, p<0.001) haplotypes among patients compared to controls. By contrast, the TGF-β1 TG haplotype was significantly lower in patients than controls (0% in patients vs. 52.5% in controls, p<0.001). There were no significant differences in the frequency of alleles, genotypes and haplotypes of the IL-10 gene.ConclusionsWe found a strong association between the polymorphisms of the TGF-β1 gene at codon 10 and codon 25 positions and atopic dermatitis.
