Survey of Occupational Allergic Contact Dermatitis and Patch Test among Clothing Employees in Beijing. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2017; 2017:3102358.

Abstract
Occupational population-based epidemiological data relating to occupational contact allergies in the Chinese clothing industry are limited. To investigate the prevalence of occupational allergic contact dermatitis (OACD) and to identify the causative allergens among clothing employees in China, a cross-sectional study was conducted in 529 clothing employees at 12 clothing factories in Beijing. All employees were subjected to an interview using self-administered questionnaire and skin examination, and those who were diagnosed with occupational contact dermatitis (OCD) were patch tested. In the present survey, we found that the overall 1-year prevalence of OACD among the clothing employees was 8.5%. The 1-year prevalence of OACD among workers (10.8%) was significantly higher than that among managers (3.2%). The lesions were primarily on the hands and wrists in workers, but the face and neck in managers. The major allergens were nickel sulfate and cobalt dichloride in workers and colophony and p-tert-butylphenol formaldehyde resin in managers. In conclusion, workers are at a higher risk of OACD compared with managers in the Chinese clothing industry. In addition to hand dermatitis in workers, airborne contact dermatitis on the face and neck should be also addressed in managers.

Abstract
Plastic resin systems have an increasingly diverse array of applications but also induce health hazards, the most common of which are allergic and irritant contact dermatitis. Contact urticaria, pigmentary changes, and photoallergic contact dermatitis may occasionally occur. Other health effects, especially respiratory and neurologic signs and symptoms, have also been reported. These resin systems include epoxies, the most frequent synthetic resin systems to cause contact dermatitis, (meth)acrylics, polyurethanes, phenol-formaldehydes, polyesters, amino resins (melamine-formaldehydes, urea-formaldehydes), polyvinyls, polystyrenes, polyolefins, polyamides and polycarbonates. Contact dermatitis usually occurs as a result of exposure to the monomers and additives in the occupational setting, although reports from consumers, using the raw materials or end products periodically surface. Resin- and additive-induced direct contact dermatitis usually presents on the hands, fingers, and forearms, while facial, eyelid, and neck involvement may occur through indirect contact, eg, via the hands, or from airborne exposure. Patch testing with commercially available materials, and in some cases the patient's own resins, is important for diagnosis. Industrial hygiene prevention techniques are essential to reduce contact dermatitis when handling these resin systems.

Abstract
This article overviews research in the interdisciplinary area of textile/skin interaction and related cutaneous intolerance. Microclimate in the skin/clothing system and especially the skin responses relates to the moisture and heat transfer within this system and plays a critical role in skin irritation from textiles. A discussion is then given on skin irritation reactions to textiles, including intolerance caused by chemicals (dyes and finishes) and physical contact/friction. Finally, two skin injuries, blisters and pressure ulcers, which are caused by physical contact, pressure, and friction, are documented. Despite the prevalent problems caused by ill textile/skin interactions, minimal efforts have been devoted to this field. In addition, the in vivo experimental studies infrequently lead to a solid conclusion. The cause may lie in the dramatic variation of skin conditions among individuals as well as among different anatomic sites of the same person. Another reason might be the lack of communications between researchers in the areas of textiles and dermatology.

Abstract
1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid (BTCA), proposed as a formaldehyde substitute in the treatment of permanent press fabrics, was evaluated for developmental toxicity. Timed-mated CD rats (25 per group) received BTCA 250, 500, or 1000 mg/kg/day or vehicle (deionized/distilled water) by gavage on gestational days (gd) 6 through 19. Maternal feed and water consumption, body weight, and clinical signs were monitored throughout gestation. At termination (gd 20), confirmed-pregnant females (21 to 25 per group) were evaluated for clinical status and gestational outcome; live fetuses were examined for external, visceral, and skeletal malformations. One maternal death, reduced body weight, and reduced weight gain were noted at the high dose; confirmed pregnancy rates were 84 to 100% for each group. There were no treatment-related effects on fetal growth, survival, or morphologic development. The maternal toxicity NOAEL and LOAEL are 500 and 1000 mg/kg/day, respectively. The developmental toxicity NOAEL is > or = 1000 mg/kg/day, and the LOAEL was not established in this study.

Abstract
There is a need for several research centers to carry out coordinated large-scale evaluation of the spread of occupational irritant and allergic dermatitis. The Occupational Health Departments of Bergamo, Brescia, Lecco and Cremona therefore decided to join their experiences and bring together all the cases of occupational irritant and allergic dermatitis diagnosed by these Departments between 1993 and 1998. In this period, 1169 cases of occupational dermatitis were diagnosed, subdivided into 768 cases of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD), 337 of irritant contact dermatitis (ICD), 54 of urticaria and 10 of airborne contact dermatitis, and there has not been a trend towards increase of occupational dermatitis over the years. Our population included 724 males and 445 females and average latency after the beginning of exposure to occupational allergens was 8.01 years for ACD, 6.4 for ICD, 3.22 for urticaria and 5.57 for airborne contact dermatitis. The frequency of atopy was 33.9%, in females and 19.5% in males. The frequency of atopy was particularly high (89%) in subjects with urticaria. Among subjects with allergic dermatitis, 362 had had only one sensitization while 406 had had two or more sensitizations. The working areas where we found the highest number of ACD were metal working industry, building, health care workers and hairdressers and the frequency of ICD was high in metal workers and health care workers. Most of the cases of urticaria were diagnosed in health care workers (68.5%) and the main causing agent was latex. These are only preliminary data but occupations at risk and the substances expected to be the most frequent etiological agents do not differ significantly from those reported in the literature. It is hoped that as a result of this project there will be in the future: standardization of diagnostic procedures, uniform assessment of allergological risk in working environments not yet fully investigated, standardization of preventative measures and proper evaluation of their effectiveness.

Abstract
LEARNING OBJECTIVES The reader of this review will learn about the different clinical forms of allergic vulvovaginitis. This specific and important chapter has not been previously summarized and described in the medical literature. Vaginal mucosa is also able to show an allergic response similarly to the nose, eyes, lungs, and skin. Physicians should be familiarized with this kind of manifestation in order to make the proper diagnosis and evaluation of this entity. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE searches were undertaken since 1966 for citations of any kind of allergic vulvovaginitis. Relevant reviews and articles identified in this process were surveyed for additional and earlier citations. Textbooks of medicine, gynecology, dermatology, and infectious diseases have also been consulted. Old medical textbooks and journals of allergy and internal medicine were recovered from the Division of History of the Medicine of the Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (Federal Medical College), Belo Horizonte, Brazil. CONCLUSIONS A great variety of allergens are able to provoke allergic reactions in the female genital tract. The immunology of the vagina, the influence of hormones, menstrual cycle, and psychologic factors are also highlighted in this review. A possibility of vaginal hyperreactivity is proposed in this text. Adequate management provides important relief of symptoms in the majority of cases.

Abstract
Protein contact dermatitis is an eczematous reaction to antigens often associated with immediate hypersensitivity. A patient with a history of atopic eczema and multiple immediate sensitivities was seen for a persistent dermatitis of the face, hands, and clothing areas of the trunk and arms. Investigation showed a positive prick test to cornstarch, and avoidance of glove powder and starch in her clothing cleared what had been a recalcitrant problem.
