Ingegneria delle tecnologie per la salute Fondamenti di anatomia e istologia Apparato tegumentario aa. 2017-18 INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM integumentary system = refers to skin and its accessory structures responsible for much more than simply human outward appearance: about 16% of body weight, covering an area of 1.5 to 2 m2 (= largest organ system in human body). • skin protects inner organs INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM • skin = even not typical, but an organ, made of tissues that work together as a single structure to perform unique and critical functions • integumentary system = skin + its accessory structures, providing body with overall protection. • made of multiple layers of cells and tissues, which are held to underlying structures by connective tissue: deeper layer of skin is well vascularized (has numerous blood vessels) and also has numerous sensory, and autonomic and sympathetic nerve fibers ensuring communication to and from brain. INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM Overview • Largest organ (15% of body weight) • Epidermis – keratinized stratified squamous epithelium • Dermis – connective tissue layer • Hypodermis • Thickness variable, normally 1-2 mm – dermis may thicken, up to 6 mm – stratum corneum layer increased • calluses on hands and feet Structure of the Skin 2 layers: epidermis + dermis SKIN: histology SKIN: histology SKIN: histology Cells of the Epidermis • Stem cells – undifferentiated cells in deepest layers • Keratinocytes – most of the skin cells • Melanocytes – synthesize pigment that shield UV • Tactile (merkel) cells – receptor cells associated with nerve fibers • Dendritic (langerhans) cells – macrophages guard against pathogens Cell and Layers of the Epidermis Epidermis: histology = composed of keratinized, stratified squamous epithelium, made of 4 or 5 layers of epithelial cells, depending on its location in body. -
Long-Lasting Muscle Thinning Induced by Infrared Irradiation Specialized with Wavelengths and Contact Cooling: a Preliminary Report
Long-Lasting Muscle Thinning Induced by Infrared Irradiation Specialized With Wavelengths and Contact Cooling: A Preliminary Report Yohei Tanaka, MD, Kiyoshi Matsuo, MD, PhD, and Shunsuke Yuzuriha, MD, PhD Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Shinshu University School of Medicine, Matsumoto, Nagano 390-8621, Japan Correspondence: [email protected] Published May 28, 2010 Objective: Infrared (IR) irradiation specialized with wavelengths and contact cooling increases the amount of water in the dermis to protect the subcutaneous tissues against IR damage; thus, it is applied to smooth forehead wrinkles. However, this treatment consistently induces brow ptosis. Therefore, we investigated whether IR irradiation induces muscle thinning. Methods: Rat central back tissues were irradiated with the specialized IR device. Histological evaluation was performed on sagittal slices that included skin, panniculus carnosus, and deep muscles. Results: Significant reductions in panniculus carnosus thickness were observed between controls and irradiated tissues at postirradiation day 30 (P30), P60, P90, and P180; however, no reduction was observed in nonirradiated controls from days 0 to 180. No significant changes were observed in the trunk muscle over time. From day 0, dermal thickness was significantly reduced at P90 and P180; however, no difference was observed between P180 and nonirradiated controls at day 180. DNA degradation consistent with apoptosis was detected in the panniculus carnosus at P7 and P30. Conclusions: We found that IR irradiation induced long-lasting superficial muscle thinning, probably by a kind of apoptosis. The panniculus carnosus is equivalent to the superficial facial muscles of humans; thus, the changes observed here reflected those in the frontalis muscle that resulted in brow ptosis. -
Enabling Sweat-Based Biosensors: Solving the Problem of Low
Enabling sweat-based biosensors: Solving the problem of low biomarker concentration in sweat A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Biomedical Engineering of the College of Engineering & Applied Science by Andrew J. Jajack B.S., Biology, Wittenberg University, 2014 Committee Chairs: Jason C. Heikenfeld, Ph.D. and Chia-Ying Lin, Ph.D. Abstract Non-invasive, sweat biosensing will enable the development of an entirely new class of wearable devices capable of assessing health on a minute-to-minute basis. Every aspect of healthcare stands to benefit: prevention (activity tracking, stress-level monitoring, over-exertion alerting, dehydration warning), diagnosis (early-detection, new diagnostic techniques), and management (glucose tracking, drug-dose monitoring). Currently, blood is the gold standard for measuring the level of most biomarkers in the body. Unlike blood, sweat can be measured outside of the body with little inconvenience. While some biomarkers are produced in the sweat gland itself, most are produced elsewhere and must diffuse into sweat. These biomarkers come directly from blood or interstitial fluid which surrounds the sweat gland. However, a two-cell thick epithelium acts as barrier and dilutes most biomarkers in sweat. As a result, many biomarkers that would be useful to monitor are diluted in sweat to concentrations below what can be detected by current biosensors. This is a core challenge that must be overcome before the advantages of sweat biosensing can be fully realized. The objective of this dissertation is to develop methods of concentrating biomarkers in sweat to bring them into range of available biosensors. -
Apocrine Sweat Retention in Man I
CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Elsevier - Publisher Connector APOCRINE SWEAT RETENTION IN MAN I. EXPERIMENTAL PRODUCTION OF ASYMPTOMATIC FORM*, I. HARRYJ. HTJRLEY, JR.,M.D.ANnWALTERB. SHELLEY, M.D., PH.D. Within recent years, the concept of poral closure and the effects of such an obstructive process on the eccrine sweat gland have been clearly defined (1, 2). The pathogenesis of the various sweat retention syndromes is now more fully understood. Moreover, the need for further study of the "blockage factor" in the diseases of the other glandular appendages has been emphasized. Much attention has been paid to the sebaceous gland in this respect (3). Follicular occlusion has been long regarded as one of the essential phases in the development of the acneiform dermatoses. In contrast, however, the possible role of ductal obstruction and consequent sweat retention in the diseases of the apocrine sweat gland has received little mention in the literature. Yet an examination of the clinical features of the apocrine disorders indicates that poral occlusion may be of considerable signifi- cance in their pathogenesis. This series of investigations was undertaken in an effort to define the effects of ductal closure on the human apocrine sweat gland. METHOD AND MATERIALS Seven healthy adult white males between the ages of 20 and 28 were selected for this study. Antiperspirants had been interdicted for at least one month. The axillae of these subjects were shaved and the apocrine sweat glands emptied by the local subcutaneous injection of 0.15 cc. 1:1000 epinephrine so- lution. -

Under the auspices of the World Association of Veterinary Anatomists (W.A.V.A.), the International Committee on Veterinary Anatomical Nomenclature (I.C.V.A.N.) appointed in Giessen, 1965, a Subcommittee on Histology and Embryology which started a working relation with the Subcommittee on Histology of the former International Anatomical Nomenclature Committee. In Mexico City, 1971, this Subcommittee presented a document entitled Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft as a basis for the continued work of the newly-appointed Subcommittee on Histological Nomenclature. This resulted in the editing of the Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft II (Toulouse, 1974), followed by preparations for publication of a Nomina Histologica Veterinaria. -

Curling Cuticles of the Great Toenails: a Case Report of Eponychogryphosis
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]. -

Describe histological findings in common skin diseases. Skin lecture notes 2 HISTOLOGY OF THE SKIN The skin is the heaviest, largest single organ of the body. It protects the body against physical, chemical and biological agents. The skin participates in the maintenance of body temperature and hydration, and in the excretion of metabolites. It also contributes to homeostasis through the production of hormones, cytokines and growth factors. 1. Describe the basic histological structure of the skin, identifying the layers of the skin and their embryologic origin. The skin is composed of the epidermis, an epithelial layer of ectodermal origin and the dermis, a layer of connective tissue of mesodermal origin. The hypodermis or subcutaneous tissue, which is not considered part of the skin proper, lies deep to the dermis and is formed by loose connective tissue that typically contains adipose cells. Skin layers 2. Identify the cell layers that constitute the epidermis and the differences between thick and thin skin.
