[Acicular ichthyosis (the Curth-Macklin type)].

It is suggested that the double-nucleus phenomenon in the epidermis in type Curth-Macklin [correction of Kurt-McLean] acicular ichthyosis is due to cytokinesis-controlling gene mutation. Other hereditary dermatoses associated with needle-like hyperkeratosis appear to be a heterogenic group not necessarily involving the formation of double-nuclear cells. The essence of double-nucleus phenomenon and morphogenesis of acicular ichthyosis are disputable at present.

[The prenatal diagnosis of Herlitz's borderline epidermolysis bullosa letalis].

Methods of morphologic prenatal diagnosis permit optimizing the medicogenetic prognosis thus preventing the birth of patients with severe incurable forms of congenital bullous epidermolysis and preserve normal pregnancy in risk-group females. Studies on the estimation of the prognostic and prophylactic value of methods for the prenatal diagnosis of congenital dermatoses are necessary.

[Hallopeau-Siemens' congenital epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica].

Examination of apparently intact skin of patients with generalized Hallopeau-Siemens' dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa has shown that this condition may be diagnosed histologically only in case of manifest changes. If there are no apparent changes, examination of ultrathin sections of the skin should be used. Further studies are necessary to define the diagnostic and prognostic values of the detected changes for prenatal diagnosis.

[Hereditary pemphigus: the problems of classification, diagnosis and prevention].

Basic principles of present-day classification of hereditary epidermolysis bullosa are outlined, and morphologic grounds for distinguishing common, borderline, and dystrophic e. bullosa are validated. Potentialities of prenatal diagnosis of grave forms of e. bullosa as one of the major means of prevention are discussed. Data of clinical follow-up of 25 patients with common, 5 with borderline, and 29 ones with dystrophic e. bullosa are presented, as are results of 8 cases of prenatal diagnosis. The authors emphasize the necessity of electron microscopic examination of the skin in every case.

[The toxicologic characteristics of a new SAKAP-based benzyl benzoate ointment].

The formula of a new stable 20% benzylbenzoate emulsion is presented, so are the results of studies on its toxicity, local irritating and sensitizing effects in guinea pigs. For comparison, the same characteristics of currently used 20% water-soap benzylbenzoate emulsion and of the new ointment base, SAKAP (acryl copolymer), have been examined. Both the ointment and its base have proved to be safe.

[Prenatal diagnosis of several hereditary skin diseases].

Twenty-two control women and 5 women at risk for delivering a baby with Brocq's ichthyosiform erythroderma or fatal epidermolysis bullosa were investigated in order to make prenatal diagnosis of inherited fetal skin diseases. Fetal skin abnormalities were detected in 3 of the 5 high-risk patients, and their pregnancies were terminated. There was a spontaneous abortion with a normal fetus in 1 case. In one woman, pregnancy progressed to term delivery of a normal girl. Methodologic aspects of obtaining fetal skin samples and the results of their morphologic studies are discussed.
