Abstract
Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common form of primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Classic MF usually follows a rather benign course over many years or decades, rarely ever leading to fatal extracutaneous organ involvement. Single cases of muscular involvement have been reported. Here we describe a 42-year-old male patient with hair loss and lipoatrophy since six months diagnosed as follicular MF and with a two months history of progressive distal leg weakness. Muscle biopsy and whole body muscle MRI showed an extensive muscular and subcutaneous fatty tissue infiltration. After therapy with topical steroids and acitretin/PUVA, systemic chemotherapy (CHOP) was initiated. The patient suffered from a rapid disease progression with fatal outcome 2.5 years after the first skin lesions, displaying progressive cachexia, muscular atrophy and weakness with scapuloperoneal distribution and cardiac dysfunction. So far, extensive muscular involvement by MF mimicking a distinct muscular phenotype has not been reported.

Abstract
Tattoos have become increasingly popular worldwide making adverse effects from tattoos a growing concern. In our report, we present a 51-year-old man who developed an unusual allergic reaction to the red ink portions of his tattoos that coincided with the initiation of ledipasvir/sofosbuvir treatment for his hepatitis C. Clinical and histological features were consistent with a delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction to red ink.

Abstract
Infliximab is a tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitor used to treat a range of inflammatory diseases. Most reports of cutaneous eruptions from tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitors have described the paradoxical development of psoriasis or psoriasiform drug reaction. In our report, we present a 31-year-old female with inflammatory bowel disease who developed an unusual lichenoid drug reaction to infliximab involving the hair follicles, resulting in progressive global alopecia. Clinical features and histopathological findings were consistent with drug-induced lichen planopilaris with eosinophils and lichenoid dermatitis.

Abstract
Die heilsame Wirkung des Sonnenlichts war teilweise schon im Altertum bekannt und fand in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts wieder zunehmend Beachtung. Den Beginn der modernen Phototherapien markiert die Entwicklung einer Apparatur zur ultravioletten Bestrahlung der Hauttuberkulose durch Finnsen zu Beginn des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts. Zur Therapie von Hauterkrankungen finden beinahe ausschließlich die spektralen Bereiche unterhalb des sichtbaren Lichtes (ultraviolett) Anwendung. Seit den 1970er Jahren stehen zunehmend leistungsfähige künstliche Strahlenquellen bereit für die Therapie mit UVB, UVA und die Kombination von UVA mit Photosensibilisatoren (Photochemotherapie). Hohe strukturelle und prozedurale Qualitätsstandards sind unabdingbare Voraussetzung für die Durchführung einer gleichermaßen wirkungsvollen wie auch sicheren Phototherapie. Die Leitlinie formuliert den aktuellen Konsens führender Experten auf dem Gebiet der Phototherapie in Bezug auf die Indikationen für die jeweiligen Therapieverfahren, deren Gegenanzeigen und Nebenwirkungen und insbesondere für die Wahl der korrekten Dosis zu Beginn und im Verlauf einer Therapie sowie das Management von Nebenwirkungen.

Abstract
The use of sunscreens with sun protection factors beyond 50 is controversial. In order to avoid misleading the consumer, several countries have already decided not to declare SPF beyond 50 on sunscreen products. Arguments against high SPF include the following: the risk of imbalanced protection, which could increase the risk of damage caused by longer-wave ultraviolet radiation; imparting a false sense of safety, which could lead to the extension of sun exposure times; health risks from higher concentrations of filter substances; and the only marginally higher blockade provided by high SPF sunscreens. On the other hand, it has been realized that the functional SPF of sunscreens remains far behind the declared SPF in the practical application and, therefore, the use of higher SPF in sensitive individuals and during strong UV exposure could make sense.

Abstract
Punctate palmoplantar keratoderma (PPKP1; Buschke-Fischer-Brauer) is a rare autosomal dominant inherited skin disease characterized by multiple hyperkeratotic papules involving the palms and soles. Mutations have been found at 2 loci, on chromosomes 15q22-15q24 and 8q24.13-8q24.21. We recently identified mutations in 3 families, in the AAGAB gene on 15q, which encodes the alpha- and gamma-adaptin-binding protein p34. The current study examined 14 additional families, comprising a total of 26 affected individuals and identified 8 novel mutations in 9 families. In one family a mutation that was present only in the affected individuals was found, and in 4 other families, previously reported mutations were found (1, 2). These results confirm the role of AAGAB in PPKP1. Our findings suggest that there is no correlation with age, but with mechanical factors. No additional obvious genotype-phenotype correlation was observed, even when comparing different types of mutations. Rather, identical genotypes presented a very broad interfamilial and intrafamilial variability of phenotypes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic hand eczema (CHE) is a common skin disease with a high socioeconomic impact. While some light has been shed on the genetic factors that predispose individuals to the disease, little is known about its actual pathogenesis. OBJECTIVES We aimed to carry out a systematic and comprehensive analysis of the differential protein expression in CHE using modern mass spectrometry. METHODS We performed liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry analyses and label-free quantification to analyse the proteomic profile of palmar skin from 12 individuals (six patients with hand eczema and six healthy volunteers). Immunohistochemistry of the palmar skin from seven different patients with hand eczema and seven different healthy volunteers was performed in a second step. RESULTS With this method we were able to identify 185 candidate proteins with a significantly different abundance in the hand eczema samples. Among them we found several barrier proteins: filaggrin (FLG), FLG-2 and hornerin were all downregulated in the hand eczema samples, as were the desquamation-related enzymes kallikrein-related peptidase (KLK)5 and KLK7 and cystatin E/M. The antimicrobial peptides S100A7 and S100A8/A9 and the small proline-rich protein 2B and S100A11 were upregulated in the diseased skin. Immunohistochemistry confirmed these findings. CONCLUSIONS Our results corroborate the assumption that skin barrier dysfunction plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of CHE.

Abstract
Misunderstanding and stigmatisation are common problems encountered by patients with hand eczema. Various misconceptions about the disease circulate in the general population. Although hand eczema has gained more attention in dermatology during the past years, information on public perception of the disease is still lacking. The aim of our study was to investigate perception of and level of knowledge on the subject hand eczema. There were 624 patients included from 2 general medicine practices and 2 dermatological practices. A self-administered questionnaire was filled out by the participants, covering issues on history of hand eczema, level of knowledge and attitude towards a clinical photograph of hand eczema. We found that a larger proportion of individuals from dermatological practice were more familiar with hand eczema as a disease than those from general medical practice. Women knew significantly more about and had a more positive perception of the disease than men. Our results imply that the level of knowledge on hand eczema in the general public is rather low and influenced by prejudice.

Abstract
We describe two boys, ages 8 and 7 years, who developed lichen planus pemphigoides. In one of the boys, a henna tattoo probably triggered the disease. Therapy with systemic glucocorticoids and dapsone was successful.

Abstract
BACKGROUND 14-3-3σ is down-regulated in a large proportion of basal cell carcinomas (BCC). IkappaB kinase α (IKK-α), one of the two catalytic subunits of the IKK complex involved in NF-kappaB-activation, also functions as a modulator of epidermal development and differentiation. Down-regulation of IKK-α causes hyperplasia and promotes skin cancer. IKK-α has been found to regulate the expression of 14-3-3σ by shielding its promoter from hypermethylation and thereby preventing its silencing in mouse keratinocytes. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the potential role of IKK-α in the silencing of 14-3-3σ in basal cell carcinoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS Expression of 14-3-3σ and IKK-α was studied by immunohistochemistry in 33 sporadic BCCs and 26 BCCs from patients with basal cell nevus syndrome (BCNS). RESULTS Marked reduction or absence of 14-3-3σ was found in 24 (92%) BCCs from BCNS patients, and in 29 (88%) sporadic BCCs. Marked reduction or absence of IKK-α was found in 22 (85%) BCCs from patients with BCNS, and in 27 (82%) sporadic BCCs. Expression levels for 14-3-3σ and IKK-α correlated positively in 92% of BCCs from BCNS patients, and in 85% of sporadic BCCs. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that down-regulation of IKK-α is required for 14-3-3σ promoter methylation and silencing in the pathogenesis of BCC. Besides, our observation that 14-3-3σ silencing is also frequently found in BCC from patients with BCNS suggests a possible link between the sonic hedgehog/patched and 14-3-3σ/IKK-α pathways.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Deoxyribonucleic acid damage activates cell cycle checkpoints in order to maintain genomic stability. We assessed the role of different checkpoint genes in response to ultraviolet B irradiation. METHODS Cell lines expressing a dominant negative mutant of ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3 related (Atr) protein or overexpressing Cdc25A, cells deficient for 14-3-3σ, Nijmegen breakage syndrome (Nbs), or Ataxia telangiectasia mutated (Atm) were treated with ultraviolet B (UVB) and harvested after 12 h, 24 h, or 48 h for analysis by flow cytometry. RESULTS Functional loss of Atm, Atr, or Nbs did not result in a significant alteration of the cell cycle profile. Overexpression of Cdc25A led to a delayed arrest at the G1/S transition in response to low doses of UVB. Loss of 14-3-3σ, a negative cell cycle regulator and downstream target of p53, caused a transient arrest at the G2/M boundary. CONCLUSIONS Loss of 14-3-3σ sensitizes cells to UVB. After a transient cell cycle arrest, 14-3-3σ-deficient cells die by undergoing mitotic catastrophe. Cdc25A overexpression causes a delayed arrest in response to low doses of UVB. After higher doses, Cdc25A is no longer able to overrun the checkpoint. Atm, Atr, or Nbs are not essential for the checkpoint response to UVB, suggesting the existence of redundant signaling pathways.

Abstract
Historically, erythema ab igne (EAI) was commonly seen on the shins of individuals working in front of coal stoves or sitting close to a fireplace. In the more recent past, this condition has been primarily observed after repeated application of heating pads. Today, unintentional and unperceived exposure to heat from laptop computers needs to be considered as a potential trigger. A rising number of laptop-induced cases of EAI have been reported recently. For this modern-age version of classic EAI, we propose thus the more accurate neo-Latin term erythema a computatro.
