dermatitis/edema

A unique eosinophilic dermatitis with edema in dogs is characterized by extremely erythematous coalescing macules and plaques with associated edema, and is similar to eosinophilic cellulitis (Wells' syndrome) in humans. Histopathologic features include a profound eosinophilic dermal infiltrate,

BACKGROUND Several drugs have been associated with the development of peripheral edema. Leg edema can result in dermatitis of the lower extremities. We describe levofloxacin-induced peripheral leg edema, which progressed to stasis dermatitis. METHODS A 76-year-old man with a history of esophageal

Possible role of phosphodiesterase 7A (PDE7A) in skin inflammation was examined using ASB16165, a specific inhibitor for PDE7A. Epicutaneous application of phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) to mouse ear resulted in induction of skin edema, and topical treatment with ASB16165

Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is known to play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. The present study was designed to investigate the effects of embelin on lipopolysachharide induced TNF-α production in mice and in human keratinocytes in vitro and also to study the effect of embelin on

Although pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) was described as a key vasoregulator in human skin, little is known about its expression in mouse skin. As it is important to investigate PACAP signaling in translational mouse dermatitis models, we determined its presence,

BACKGROUND Quantification of skin diseases can be carried out in many ways. Clinical scores are widely used in atopic eczema (AE), and noninvasive instruments are a relevant supplement. OBJECTIVE Our purpose was to validate 5 noninvasive instruments in quantification of AE severity. METHODS In all,

Canine acute eosinophilic dermatitis with edema is an uncommon syndromic disorder in dogs with a unique clinical presentation. Most but not all dogs have a history of gastrointestinal upset preceding or concomitant with skin lesion onset. Affected dogs present with macular to generalized erythema

We have previously demonstrated that UVB irradiation resulted in impaired function of cutaneous lymphatic vessels, suggesting a crucial role of lymphatic function in the mediation of UVB-induced inflammation. Nonetheless, the molecular mechanisms of lymphatic involvement in inflammation have
