Prevalence of hereditary epidermolysis bullosa in the Russian Federation

Kubanov A.A., Albanova V.I., Karamova A.E., Chikin V.V., Melekhina L.Y., Bogdanova Y.V.

Abstract

Goal. To study the prevalence of hereditary epidermolysis bullosa (HEB) in the Russian Federation. Materials and methods. The data on the number of HEB patients by subjects of the Russian Federation as well as their age and disease type were obtained based on questionnaires. The questionnaires were sent to dermatovenerology healthcare institutions from 85 subjects of the Russian Federation. The HEB prevalence rates in the subjects of the Russian Federation were calculated as the ratio of the number of HEB patients in the subject of the Russian Federation to the population size in the subject per million residents. Results. Information about 438 HEB patients (210 female and 228 male) aged 0-66 was collected in 70 subjects of the Russian Federation as of January 1, 2015. The disease type was specified for 139 patients (86 patients with common HEB, 50 patients with dystrophic HEB and 3 patients with the borderline form of HEB). No details about the disease type were provided for 299 patients (68.26%). The HEB prevalence rate in the subjects of the Russian Federation varies from 0 to 19.73 cases per million residents. Conclusion. These data on the HEB prevalence rate in 70 subjects of the Russian Federation are comparable to the data specified in literature sources providing information on the HEB prevalence rate in some foreign states. The data represent the first step to the development of clinical recommendations concerning HEB management and establishment of a register of in the Russian Federation.

Medical cell technologies for treatment of patients suffering from recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa. Method of intracutaneous administration of fibroblasts

Albanova V.I., Karamova A.E., Chikin V.V., Mineyeva A.A.

Abstract

Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a severe inherited disease developing due to genetic abnormalities in the synthesis of Type VII collagen by fibroblasts. A low production rate of Type VII collagen and abnormalities related to the formation of anchoring fibrils weaken the epidermis and derma adhesion strength, which results in the formation of blisters or erosions in case of any mechanical injury. Fibroblasts and keratinocytes belong to the key sources of Type VII collagen in the skin. Application of allogeneic fibroblasts is a promising cell technique for treating RDEB patients. The therapeutic effect of fibroblasts intradermal administration is stipulated by high stability of newly synthesized Type VII collagen and its ability to form anchoring fibrils in the area of the dermoepidermal junction. According to experimental and clinical studies, it is possible to boost the content of Type VII collagen in the dermoepidermal junction area and heal long-term skin defects in RDEB patients by means of intradermal administration of allogeneic fibroblasts.

Chikin V.V., Zhilova M.B., Smolyannikova V.A., Nefedova M.A.

Abstract

Goal. To study the dynamics of expression rates of growth factor proteins in psoriatic patients receiving the PUVA therapy. Materials and methods. The authors conducted a study of 30 patients with psoriasis vulgaris treated with the PUVA therapy. The psoriasis severity and extent of itching were assessed prior to and after the treatment by the PASI index and visual analogue scale, respectively. The expression of semaphorin 3A, amphiregulin, nerve growth factor and PGP 9.5 protein (a nerve fiber marker) in the skin was assessed by the indirect immunofluorescence method. The expression of PGP 9.5 protein was used to assess the quantity and mean length as well as average and total fluorescence intensity of nerve fibers. Results. An increased expression of amphiregulin and nerve growth factor as well as increase in the quantity, mean length and average and total fluorescence intensity of nerve fibers were revealed in the epidermis of psoriatic patients. Following a course of the PUVA therapy, a decrease in the PASI index and extent of itching, reduced expression of amphiregulin and nerve growth factor as well as reduced quantity, mean length and average and total fluorescence intensity of nerve fibers in the epidermis were observed. Direct correlation dependence between the extent of itching, amphiregulin and nerve growth factor expression level and quantity and length of nerve fibers in the epidermis was discovered. Direct correlation dependence between the amphiregulin and nerve growth factor expression level, and average length of nerve fibers in the epidermis was discovered. Conclusion. The itching intensity in psoriatic patients receiving the PUVA therapy is reduced due to the decreased skin expression of the nerve growth factor and amphiregulin.

Abstract

The graft-versus-host disease is a life-threatening complication of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation, which demands fast and reliable diagnostics. Goal. To study clinical features of the graft-versus-host disease as well as differential and diagnostic value of histological and immunohistochemical signs in skin biopsy samples in case of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). Materials and methods. The authors made a comparative assessment of clinical data available for patients suffering from acute GvHD (50 patients) and toxic dermatitis (10 patients). Skin biopsy samples taken from patients from both groups underwent postmortem and immunohistochemistry examinations: the drugs were stained with hematoxylin and eosin as well as by using anti-CD3, CD20, CD4, CD8, FOXP3, CD56, CD1a and CD 68 antibodies. Results. Based on the results of clinical data assessments, no significant differences in the groups were revealed. The morphological examination revealed that the number of eosinophils, CD8+, CD1a+, CD3+ and FOXP3+ cells and share of FOXP3+ cells among Т lymphocytes was higher in the group with toxic dermatitis. Conclusion. An integrated assessment of clinical data and morphological examination results accompanied by the analysis of the population composition of the infiltrate is needed to diagnose the acute GvHD.

Steroidophobia in dermatology - contemporary problem of the past

Dvoryankova E.V.

Abstract

Topical steroids are the first-line drugs for the treatment of the majority of dermatological diseases. Currently, however, often we have to deal with steroidophobia both among patients and doctors. The problem has been actively studied since steroidophobia can significantly reduce the quality of the treatment. At the same time, with the use of modern topical steroids, such as Advantan, steroidophobia has no grounds due to the high level of safety under normal use of drugs.
