Post-service NOTES TO THE INSTRUCTOR In some states, the study of nails and manicuring is a subject within the barbering curriculum and should be taught in order to comply with state board rules and regulations. In those states where the subject is not a mandatory course of study, the inclusion of this chapter is best left to the discretion of the school and instructor. It is recommended that students who aspire to barbershop ownership spend some time studying the topic so they are better prepared to oversee future employees should a mani- curist ever be hired for the barbershop.

Introduction A. Nail care and beautifi cation evidenced in Egyptian and Chinese records. B. Barbershops of the fi rst half of the twentieth century routinely provided manicures as part of the traditional shave, haircut, and shoeshine service. C. Many of today’s barbershops offer manicure services for clients. 2. The Nail: see textbook Figure 20-1 and Supplement 20.0. A. Structure 1. Nail unit: horny, translucent plate of hard keratin that protect the tips of the fi ngers and toes. a. Part of the integumentary system; considered appendages of the skin. b. Finger and toe nail anatomy the same. 2. Technical term: onyx (AHN-iks). 3. Condition refl ects general body health; healthy nail: translucent pinkish color and smooth. 4. No nerves or blood vessels within horny nail plate. 5. Consists of nail bed, matrix, nail plate or body, cuticle, eponychium, hyponychium, specialized ligaments, and nail folds. 6. Nail bed: lies under nail plate; the skin where nail plate rests; nourished by blood vessels and nerves. 7. Matrix: imbedded under the skin; where nail is formed. a. Matrix cells produce nail plate, which originates at the nail base. b. Growth may be retarded by poor health, disorder, disease, or injury. c. Lunula: visible portion of the matrix. 486 © 2011 Milady, a part of Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

    Development and Maintenance of Epidermal Stem Cells in Skin Adnexa

    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Development and Maintenance of Epidermal Stem Cells in Skin Adnexa Jaroslav Mokry * and Rishikaysh Pisal Medical Faculty, Charles University, 500 03 Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 30 October 2020; Accepted: 18 December 2020; Published: 20 December 2020 Abstract: The skin surface is modified by numerous appendages. These structures arise from epithelial stem cells (SCs) through the induction of epidermal placodes as a result of local signalling interplay with mesenchymal cells based on the Wnt–(Dkk4)–Eda–Shh cascade. Slight modifications of the cascade, with the participation of antagonistic signalling, decide whether multipotent epidermal SCs develop in interfollicular epidermis, scales, hair/feather follicles, nails or skin glands. This review describes the roles of epidermal SCs in the development of skin adnexa and interfollicular epidermis, as well as their maintenance. Each skin structure arises from distinct pools of epidermal SCs that are harboured in specific but different niches that control SC behaviour. Such relationships explain differences in marker and gene expression patterns between particular SC subsets. The activity of well-compartmentalized epidermal SCs is orchestrated with that of other skin cells not only along the hair cycle but also in the course of skin regeneration following injury. This review highlights several membrane markers, cytoplasmic proteins and transcription factors associated with epidermal SCs.

ABSTRACT Animal hair examination at a criminal scene may provide valuable information in forensic investigations. How- ever, local reference databases for animal hair identification are rare. In the present study, we provide differential histological analysis of hair of some domestic animals in Upper Egypt. For this purpose, guard hair of large rumi- nants (buffalo, camel and cow), small ruminants (sheep and goat), equine (horse and donkey) and canine (dog and cat) were collected and comparative analysis was performed by light microscopy. Based on the hair cuticle scale pattern, type and diameter of the medulla, and the pigmentation, characteristic differential features of each animal species were identified. The cuticle scale pattern was imbricate in all tested animals except in donkey, in which coronal scales were identified. The cuticle scale margin type, shape and the distance in between were characteristic for each animal species.

Neural control of facial sweat gland secretion in horses Lu Liu 2019.11.26 BMS 599 Creative Component Biomedical Sciences Department Iowa State University Abstract: For sweat glands, it has been shown that sympathetic neurons express a cholinergic/noradrenergic co-phenotype in their innervation in the trunk of mice.(Schütz et al. 2008). It is unknown if facial sweat glands are innervated the same way. Gustatory sweating is an abnormal sweating condition. People can sweat profusely when eating or drinking, or even thinking about eating or drinking. We hypothesize that the facial sweat glands are controlled differently and can be related to parasympathetic neurons from cranial nerves. Some samples from human donors have been tested, but few sweat glands can be targeted since the donors were older people. Thus, it was decided to use horse tissue for this project to obtain greater numbers of sweat glands on the face.

    Open Access Case Report DOI: 10.7759/cureus.3959 Curling Cuticles of the Great Toenails: A Case Report of Eponychogryphosis Philip R. Cohen 1 1. Dermatology, San Diego Family Dermatology, San Diego, USA Corresponding author: Philip R. Cohen, [email protected] Abstract The cuticle, also referred to as the eponychium, creates a seal between the proximal nail fold and the nail plate. It is derived from both the ventral and dorsal portions of the proximal nail fold. In addition to its principle function as a barrier preventing allergens, irritants and pathogens from entering the nail cul-de- sac, the cuticle can play a role as a model for evaluating the etiology and management of diseases that affect capillary microcirculation, provide a source of solid tissue for genetic disorder studies, and aid in the evaluation of patients in whom the diagnoses of either systemic scleroderma or dermatomyositis is being entertained. Curling cuticle is a distinctive and unique occurrence. The clinical features of a man with curling cuticles on the lateral portion of both great toes is described. Although a deficiency in personal hygiene may partially account for the clinical finding, the pathogenesis of this observation remains to be established. The term ‘eponychogryphosis’ is proposed to describe the alteration of the patient’s cuticles. Categories: Dermatology, Internal Medicine, Rheumatology Keywords: curl, curling, cuticle, eponychium, eponychogryphosis, fold, great, onychogryphosis, nail, toe Introduction The cuticle, also known as the eponychium, is an extension of the stratum corneum from the proximal nail fold [1-3]. It forms a seal that prevents allergens, irritants, and pathogens from entering the potential space between the distal skin of the digit and the nail plate [4-5].

    Central Journal of Dermatology and Clinical Research Review Article *Corresponding author Nardo Zaias, Department of Dermatology Mount Sinai Medical Center, Miami Beach, FL. 33140, 4308 The Nail Bed, Part I. The Normal Alton rd. Suite 750, USA, Email: [email protected] Submitted: 25 November 2013 Nail Bed Matrix, Stem Cells, Distal Accepted: 28 December 2013 Published: 31 December 2013 Copyright Motion and Anatomy © 2014 Zaias Nardo Zaias* OPEN ACCESS Department of Dermatology Mount Sinai Medical Center, USA Abstract The nail bed (NB) has its own matrix that originates from distinctive stem cells. The nail bed matrix stem cells (NBMSC) lie immediately distal to the nail plate (NP) matrix cells and are covered by the keratogenous zone of the most distal NPM (LUNULA). The undivided NBMS cells move distally along the NB basement membrane toward the hyponychium; differentiating and keratinizing at various locations, acting as transit amplifying cells and forming a thin layer of NB corneocytes that contact the overlying onychocytes of the NP, homologous to the inner hair root sheath. At the contact point, the NB corneocytes express CarcinoEmbryonic Antigen (CEA), a glycoprotein-modulating adherence which is also found in hair follicles and tumors. Only when both the NP and the NB are normal do they synchronously move distally. The normal NB keratinizes, expressing keratin K-5 and K-17 without keratohyaline granules. However, during trauma or disease states, it reverts to keratinization with orthokeratosis and expresses K-10, as seen in developmental times. Psoriasis is the only exception. Nail Bed epidermis can express hyperplasia and giant cells in some diseases.

    Cell Death and Differentiation (2011) 18, 1845–1853 & 2011 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 1350-9047/11 www.nature.com/cdd Keratinocyte-specific ablation of the NF-jB regulatory protein A20 (TNFAIP3) reveals a role in the control of epidermal homeostasis S Lippens1,2, S Lefebvre3, B Gilbert1,2, M Sze1,2, M Devos1,2, K Verhelst1,2, L Vereecke1,2, C Mc Guire1,2, C Gue´rin1,2, P Vandenabeele1,2, M Pasparakis4, ML Mikkola3, R Beyaert1,2,5, W Declercq*,1,2,5 and G van Loo1,2,5 The ubiquitin-editing enzyme A20 (tumor necrosis factor-a-induced protein 3) serves as a critical brake on nuclear factor jB (NF-jB) signaling. In humans, polymorphisms in or near the A20 gene are associated with several inflammatory disorders, including psoriasis. We show here that epidermis-specific A20-knockout mice (A20EKO) develop keratinocyte hyperproliferation, but no signs of skin inflammation, such as immune cell infiltration. However, A20EKO mice clearly developed ectodermal organ abnormalities, including disheveled hair, longer nails and sebocyte hyperplasia. This phenotype resembles that of mice overexpressing ectodysplasin-A1 (EDA-A1) or the ectodysplasin receptor (EDAR), suggesting that A20 negatively controls EDAR signaling. We found that A20 inhibited EDAR-induced NF-jB signaling independent from its de-ubiquitinating activity. In addition, A20 expression was induced by EDA-A1 in embryonic skin explants, in which its expression was confined to the hair placodes, known to be the site of EDAR expression. In summary, our data indicate that EDAR-induced NF-jB levels are controlled by A20, which functions as a negative feedback regulator, to assure proper skin homeostasis and epidermal appendage development.
