BACKGROUND: Notalgia paresthetica is a sensory neuropathy involving the dorsal spinal nerves. The characteristic symptom is pruritus on the back, occasionally accompanied by pain, paresthesia, and/or hyperesthesia, which results in a well-circumscribed hyperpigmented patch in the symptomatic area. The etiology of this condition has not yet been completely defined. OBJECTIVE: Possible mechanisms that could explain the pathogenesis of notalgia paresthetica were investigated through clinical examination and various diagnostic tests. METHODS: Ten cases of notalgia paresthetica underwent dermatologic, neurologic, and orthopedic examination. This was followed by skin biopsy, electrodiagnostic investigation, and radiography of the spine. RESULTS: All patients had a typical symptomatology and dermatologic picture. Neurologic examination and standard electrodiagnostic investigation results were normal in all cases. Histopathology was compatible with postinflammatory hyperpigmentation; there were no amyloid deposits. In seven cases, degenerative changes in the vertebrae were observed and, in all of these cases, these changes were most prominent in the vertebrae which corresponded to the dermatome of the cutaneous lesion. CONCLUSIONS: The striking correlation of notalgia paresthetica localization with degenerative changes in the spine suggests that spinal nerve impingement may contribute to the pathogenesis of this entity.

OBJECTIVES: Clostridium difficile is the etiological agent of antibiotic-associated diarrhea and pseudomembranous colitis and is a leading cause of nosocomial diarrhea. The objective of the study was to examine if leukocytosis could be a harbinger and surrogate marker of C. difficile infection in hospitalized patients. METHODS: We retrospectively examined the medical records of 70 hospitalized patients who presented with diarrhea of variable severity and who underwent stool examination for enteric pathogens, including C. difficile. We specifically recorded the white blood cell count and the pattern and severity of leukocytosis in two groups of patients--those who were C. difficile-positive and those who were negative. RESULTS: Leukocytosis was common in C. difficile-positive patients, compared to in C. difficile-negative patients (mean 15,800/mm3 vs 7700/mm3, p < 0.01). Review of the 35 C. difficile-positive patients revealed three patterns: Pattern A) sudden WBC increase coinciding with the onset of symptoms suggestive of C. difficile; Pattern B) unexplained leukocytosis preceding the appearance of C. difficile-related diarrhea and serving as a harbinger of the infection; and Pattern C) worsening of pre-existing leukocytosis as a surrogate marker of C. difficile infection. Treatment with metronidazole led to amelioration of symptoms and normalization of the leukocyte count in all cases. CONCLUSIONS: Infection with C. difficile should be considered in the differential diagnosis of sudden onset of leukocytosis in hospitalized patients previously or concurrently treated with antibiotics. Doing so may obviate the need for expensive and time-consuming tests for other etiologies.

Increased frequency of autoimmune diseases in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis.

Saarinen S, Olerup O, Broome U.

Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Karolinska Institute at Huddinge University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden.

OBJECTIVES: Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease of unknown origin that mostly affects male patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The immune system is believed to be involved in the etiology/pathogenesis as these patients present with several immunological disturbances. Susceptibility to develop primary sclerosing cholangitis is partly determined by genes in the HLA complex. The aim of this study was to compare the prevalence of autoimmune disorders in IBD patients with and without PSC and to correlate the presence of autoimmune disorders in PSC to outcome and HLA association. METHODS: One hundred nineteen PSC patients were included in the study. Each PSC patient with IBD was matched to a IBD patient without PSC. The presence of autoimmune disorders was carefully evaluated in each group. Moreover, comparisons between PSC patients with and without autoimmune disorders were performed. RESULTS: Twenty-five percent of the PSC patients had at least one autoimmune disorder outside the liver and colon compared to 9% in the IBD group without PSC (p < 0.005). Nine of the PSC patients had two or more autoimmune diseases compared to only one patient in the IBD group (p < 0.02). The PSC patients with and without associated autoimmune disease did not differ in clinical presentation, outcome of PSC or HLA alleles. A significant overrepresentation of DRB1*03 was still present after excluding PSC patients with concomitant autoimmune diseases outside the liver and colon compared to a healthy Swedish control group. CONCLUSIONS: Autoimmune disorders are more frequent among PSC patients compared to IBD patients without liver disease. Associated autoimmune diseases in PSC patients does not influence the outcome or clinical presentation of PSC.

The molecular pathway of autonomous growth of the parathyroid glands in uremic patients is poorly understood. Loss of heterozygosity at the recently identified multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) gene locus on chromosome 11q13 has been found in a subset of parathyroid glands from patients with refractory hyperparathyroidism. To clarify the role of the MEN1 gene in parathyroid tumorigenesis, we analyzed 81 parathyroid glands from 22 Japanese uremic patients for allelic loss on chromosomal arm 11q13 DNA using 3 flanking markers (PYGM, D11S4946, and D11S449) and for mutations of the MEN1-coding exons by PCR-based single strand conformation polymorphism analysis and sequencing. Allelic loss on 11q13 was observed in 6 glands (7%), and 1 of 6 demonstrated a previously unrecognized somatic frameshift deletion (331delG) of the MEN1 gene. This mutation would probably result in a nonfunctional menin protein, consistent with a tumor suppressor mechanism. Clinical and pathological characteristics of hyperparathyroidism were unrelated to the presence or absence of loss of heterozygosity on 11q13 and MEN1 gene mutations. These observations indicate that somatic inactivation of the MEN1 gene contributes to the pathogenesis of uremia-associated parathyroid tumors, but its role in this disease appears to be very limited.

Alterations in the p16INK4a/CDKN2A tumor suppressor gene in gastrinomas.

The p16INK4a/CDKN2A gene (p16INK4a) is frequently altered by homozygous deletion, mutation, or methylation in many nonendocrine tumors, and these alterations may be predictive of recurrence, tumor growth, or aggressiveness. Whether this is true of neuroendocrine tumors such as gastrinomas is unclear. To address this question we analyzed the gastrinomas from 44 patients for p16INK4a gene mutations and correlated the results to the tumor's biological behavior, growth pattern, and aggressiveness. No gastrinomas had mutations of exon 1 or exon 2 of the p16INK4a gene, although polymorphisms were found in 54%. No homozygous deletions were found. In 52% of the gastrinomas, hypermethylation of a 5'-CpG island of the p16INK4a gene promoter was found. To assess the growth behavior of the gastrinomas, all patients were assessed yearly with at least three conventional imaging studies (computed tomography scan, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasound), and since 1994 have been assessed with radionuclide scanning using [111In-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid,DPhe1]octreotide. The mean follow-up was 5.1+/-0.4 yr (range, 1.2-11.7). The presence or absence of methylation of the p16INK4a gene did not correlate with clinical characteristics of the gastrinoma, biological behavior (gastrin release and basal or maximal acid output), the presence or absence of known prognostic factors (tumor size, gastrinoma location, lymph node metastases, liver metastases, and curability), or growth pattern of the gastrinoma postresection. These results indicate that methylation of the p16INK4a gene is the most common gene alteration described to date in gastrinomas. Furthermore, because it is independent of disease stage it is probably an early event in the pathogenesis and because it is independent of the primary gastrinoma location, which is now thought to have different origins, methylation of the p16INK4a gene is probably a central process in the molecular pathogenesis of these tumors.

Due to the complexity , the biological process of hair growth is still a work in progress. Nonetheless, several therapeutic methods including prescription medications, transplant surgery, nutritional suppelements, and even snake oils have been in use to help those who attempt to restore their hair. None of these approaches are perfect due to the heterogeneity in the causes that underlie hair loss. Unfortunately, most of these chemical drugs and hair transplantation operations are accompanied by undesirable side effects.

Hair Million of Dream Pharm provides an alternative approach to hair loss problems. Numerous anecdotal cases have demonstrated that this herbal formula based on the authentic Chinese herbs from Chinese Pharmacopoeia actually improves the age-related hair thinning and hair loss among a significant fraction of people who take it as suggested. We still do not understand the mechanisms of action as to how Hair Million works to stop hair loss and promote hair growth, despite all the positive anecdotal demonstration. Neither scientific research nor placebo controlled clinical analysis has been conducted due to the high cost of such trials. Lack of scientific/clinical research is quite common in herbal arena. Just because science hasn't scrutinized doesn't mean we should stop taking daily food and herbal supplements altogether: our life must go on until we have better understandings of food and herb that we have been taking generation after generation. There are two merits in this hair restoration herbal formula: Firstly, Hair Million is relatively inexpensive compared with other methods, and secondly, it is made of edible herbs that are known to be safe when consumed in regular quantities.

DHEA is a natural hormone, and it is produced in our body by the adrenal glands. DHEA has been suggested to provide numerous potential benefits. DHEA (or dehydroepiandrosterone) is converted into androgens (male hormones) or estrogens (female hormones) in the cells.
