BACKGROUND: Although frequent loss of the tumor suppressor gene deleted in colon carcinoma (DCC) has been demonstrated in endometrial carcinoma, an alteration of the expression during normal menstrual cycle and tumorigenesis from hyperplastic lesions is still unclear. METHODS: A total of 151 endometrial carcinomas (endometrioid type), along with 90 hyperplasias (23 simple, 30 complex, and 37 atypical) and 143 normal endometria (28 atrophic, 44 proliferative, and 71 secretory), were immunohistochemically investigated for expression of DCC as well as for estrogen and progesterone receptors (ER and PR). Analysis for DCC mRNA levels was also performed on 37 endometrial carcinomas and 14 normal endometria. RESULTS: DCC expression was observed in endometrial glandular cells in both proliferative and secretory stages; the immunoreactivity scores were not related to values for either ER or PR. The values for DCC were significantly higher in hyperplasia than in normal endometria, and then decreased in the sequence leading to Grade 3 carcinoma. In endometrial carcinoma, reduction or loss of DCC expression was significantly related to the histologic evidence of malignancy and lymph node metastasis, and this was in keeping with the results of mRNA analysis. The transcripts derived from alternative splicing in the extracellular domain were not observed in any tumor samples. CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study indicate that DCC expression may be linked to the maintenance of differentiated glandular cells during the normal menstrual cycle without any relation to immunoreactivity for ovarian hormone receptors. Moreover, loss or reduction of expression may be a significant event in the progression of endometrial carcinoma through metastatic features.

A 17-year-old woman had a sudden eruption of pustules in her intertriginous areas as well as of erythematosquamous plaques on the scalp, elbows, palms and soles in the third trimester of her first pregnancy. Histopathological evaluation of a biopsy revealed typical changes of pustular psoriasis with parakeratosis and abscesses of neutrophils (Kogoj's spongiform pustules). The diagnosis of pustular psoriasis was established by the typical clinical and histopathological findings. Laboratory parameters showed a highly elevated blood sedimentation rate, hypoferric anemia and decreased albumin levels. Serum concentrations of parathormone and its metabolites were normal. After systemic treatment with glucocorticosteroids and antibiotics, the lesions improved but did not clear. After delivery of a healthy boy, therapy was switched to retinoid photochemotherapy with isotretinoin and PUVA that resulted in rapid and complete clearing of the eruption. The coincidence of plaque-type psoriasis and a pustular eruption as described previously in impetigo herpetiformis supports the view that this dermatosis of pregnancy is a variant of generalized pustular psoriasis.

Teenage drinking continues to be a significant problem in the U.S., as well as abroad. We have previously demonstrated that opiate blockade with naltrexone, a drug currently used in patients to diminish alcohol craving, prevented the fall in serum testosterone seen after acute ethanol (EtOH) exposure in young, peripubertal male rats. To follow-up on this reversal, a series of experiments was performed to determine if naltrexone would also prevent the testosterone suppression caused by chronic EtOH exposure. Peripubertal rats either 45 days old (mid-pubertal) or 55 days old (late pubertal) were fed an EtOH-containing liquid diet or pair-fed control diet for 14 days. Each animal was implanted with either a naltrexone containing or placebo pellet before starting the liquid diet. In each age group, EtOH alone significantly suppressed testosterone, whereas naltrexone prevented this fall, although it had no effect alone. Serum luteinizing hormone was also suppressed by EtOH; however, naltrexone did not abrogate this fall. In the 45-day-old animals, beta-luteinizing hormone mRNA levels rose significantly in the EtOH group, but not when naltrexone was coadministered with EtOH. There was no change in hypothalamic luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) mRNA, pro-LHRH, or LHRH in any group at either age. Thus, naltrexone is able to partially prevent the EtOH-induced suppression of gonadal testosterone of young, adolescent male rats. This effect appears to be mediated directly at gonadal level, because hypothalamic and pituitary hormone changes were minor and nonsignificant.

We studied the reactivity of T and B cells against a soluble form of the glycoprotein of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV-G) which was expressed in a transgenic mouse (line 23) under the control of the hormone regulated beta-lactoglobulin promoter. Transgenic mice expressed VSV-G in the thymus, spleen, mammary gland and lung. VSV-G transcripts in the thymus varied with age, i.e., expression was high early in life and decreased with age. VSV-G transgenic mice immunized with recombinant vaccinia virus expressing VSV-G exhibited normal VSV-G-specific IgM levels, but a 30-fold reduction in IgG response, indicating functional VSV-G-specific B cell activity but impaired T helper cell responses. Interestingly, VSV-G-specific T helper cell activity was reduced only early (4-10 weeks) and late in life (>40 weeks) but was normal in between. Double transgenic mice expressing VSV-G and a VSV-G-specific TCR (line 23x7) demonstrated that TCR transgenic CD4(+) T cells were partially deleted in early life, but then gradually repopulated the periphery and remained constant. These findings suggest that in line 23 two different mechanisms regulated levels of the immune response: clonal reduction/deletion of VSV-G-specific T cells during early life followed by peripheral anergy at a later stage. 1999 Academic Press.

BACKGROUND: The regulation of extracellular calcium concentration by parathyroid hormone is mediated by a calcium-sensing, G-protein-coupled cell-surface receptor (CASR). Mutations of the CASR gene alter the set-point for extracellular ionised calcium [Ca2+]o and cause familial hypercalcaemia or hypocalcaemia. The CASR missense polymorphism, A986S, is common in the general population and is, therefore, a prime candidate as a genetic determinant of extracellular calcium concentration. METHODS: We genotyped the CASR A986S variant (S allele frequency of 16.3%) in 163 healthy adult women and tested samples of their serum for total calcium, albumin, total protein, creatinine, phosphate, pH, and parathyroid hormone. A prospectively generated, random subset of 84 of these women provided a whole blood sample for assay of [Ca2+]o. FINDINGS: The A986S genotype showed no association with total serum concentration of calcium, until corrected for albumin. In a multivariate regression model, biochemical and genetic variables accounted for 74% of the total variation in calcium. The significant predictors of serum calcium were: albumin (p<0.001), phosphate (p=0.02), parathyroid hormone (p=0.007), pH (p=0.001), and A986S genotype (p=0.009). Fasting whole-blood [Ca2+]o also showed an independent positive association with the 986S variant (p=0.013). INTERPRETATION: The CASR A986S variant has a significant effect on extracellular calcium. The CASR A986S polymorphism is a likely candidate locus for genetic predisposition to various bone and mineral disorders in which extracellular calcium concentrations have a prominent part.

The average human scalp is covered by approximatey 100,000 hair follicles. Each hair undergoes hair cycle and normally 50-100 hairs randomly fall out a day, which is unnoticeable because lost hair is replaced by as many new hairs springing up daily. Hair loss results from the fall out of hair from the hair follicle. Alopecia or excessive, premature hair loss is the condition caused by many factors. Loss of hair itself does not pose critical health problems because biological role of human hair is relatively marginal. Hair on our scalp protects the head from mechanical shock, heat loss, and exposure to UV-light. The eyelashes and eyebrowes protect the eyes, and hair in the ear canal or the nasal passages help filter out particles and pathogens, thus protecting our internal organs. However, hair does play important social role: it is one of the major determinants of our appearance and identity in daily life. Fullness of hair also implicates or manifests physical integrity and youthfulness of the person. Losing hair could have more than just emotional impacts on individuals. The hair is a unique organ that goes through a characteristic cycle consisting of an immature phase, a growing phase called anagen, a transitional phase between the growing phase and the resting phase called catagen, and finally a resting phase called telogen in which the hair stops growing, waiting to fall out. 85-90% of hairs on our body are in anagen phase or growing phase, which lasts anywhere from two to five years. This phase is followed by a short regression phase, or catagen, which lasts 2-3 weeks. Approximately 1% of hair follicles are in catagen. Approximately 10-15% of hair follicles are in the resting phase, the telogen, which lasts about 3-5 months. Hair follicles typically goes through 10-20 asynchronous cycles during the lifetime. Persistent loss of more than 150 hairs would consist a state of hair loss, or alopecia, albeit it could be temporary.
