1. 1. Cytokine responses in metal-induced allergic contact dermatitis : Relationship to in vivo responses and implication for in vitro diagnosis

   Författare :Jacob Minang; Marita Troye-Blomberg; Niklas Ahlborg; Rik Scheper; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Metal allergy; Contact dermatitis; cytokines; ELISA; ELISpot; Flow cytometry; Immunology; Immunologi;

   Sammanfattning : Transition metals such as nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), palladium (Pd), chromium (Cr) and gold (Au) are widely used as alloys in jewelry and biomaterials such as orthodontic and orthopaedic appliances. These metals also cause cell-mediated allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) reactions in a significant proportion of the population upon prolonged direct exposure. LÄS MER

3. 2. In vitro analyses of immune responses to metal and organic haptens in humans with contact allergy

   Författare :Khosro Masjedi; Marita Troye-Blomberg; Niklas Ahlborg; Lone Skov; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ELISpot; contact allergy; parthenolide; methylisothiazolinones; nickel; hapten; Allergology; Allergologi; immunologi; Immunology;

   Sammanfattning : Contact allergy is one of the most common skin diseases with great social and economical impact. The origin and nature of contact allergens (haptens) capable of inducing T-cell mediated allergic reactions are diverse, ranging from organic molecules to metal ions. LÄS MER

4. 3. Individual and environmental risk factors for hand eczema in hospital workers

   Författare :Eskil Nilsson; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hand eczema; prospective study; hospital workers; irritants; contact allergy; contact urticaria; atopy; metal dermatitis; multivariate regression analysis; evaluation of risk factors; microflora; S. aureus in hand eczema;

   Sammanfattning : Individual and environmental risk factors in hand eczema have been investigated in a prospective cohort study of 2452 newly employed hospital workers with a follow-up time of 20 months. Current hand eczema was analyzed in 142 wet hospital workers from this cohort with respect to the etiologic importance of irritants, allergens and contact urticants. LÄS MER

5. 4. Clinical And Experimental Studies of Contact Allergy to Stent Metals - with focus on gold

   Författare :Susanne Ekqvist; Yrkes- och miljödermatologi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; B-Au; patch testing; restenosis; contact allergy; Dermatology; metals; gold; stent; B-Ni; nickel;

   Sammanfattning : A large number of patients are treated with coronary stents, and restenosis (recurrent narrowing of the vessel) is a serious problem. Contact allergy to metal ions eluted from stainless steel stents has been suggested to contribute to in-stent restenosis. LÄS MER

7. 5. The Primary Lymphocyte Culture in the Diagnosis of Drug- and Metal-Induced Allergy

   Författare :Karin Cederbrant; Ernst Gleichmann; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Sammanfattning : Drugs and metals are examples of xenobiotics that can induce hypersensitivity in humans. These adverse reactions are classified as allergy if repeated exposure leads to the same type of clinical manifestation. Together with the clinical history, the skin test is the most commonly used test for the diagnosis of allergic disease. LÄS MER
