[Manometric study of esophageal involvement in progressive systemic sclerosis (author's transl)].

In 15 patients with progressive systemic sclerosis esophageal function was examined radiologically and by manometry. Only one third of the patients had experienced dysphagia, while radiologically esophageal motility was abnormal in 8 patients (55%) and by manometry even in 11 patients (73%). Therefore the absence of symptoms does not exclude extensive involvement of the esophagus. Furthermore the manometric results indicate that involvement of the esophagus in the edematous-indurative stage of scleroderma should be suspected more frequently than assumed generally on the base of radiological studies alone.

[A new case of reticular hyperplasia connected with volatile oils].

An additional case of "reticular hyperplasia" is described. The clinical picture is trimorphic with grouped nodules, spinulosismus-like and parapsoriasiform lesions. Histologically there are dense lymphoreticular, partly eosinophilic infiltrates with leucocytoclastic cell aggregates, which, however, do not resemble mycosis fungoides nor a reticulosis. The causative agent was most likely the external use of remedy for an amputation stump containing ethereal oils, which had been used over decades. Positive provocation tests confirmed the diagnosis.

The behaviour of collagen peptidase in the serum of different dermatoses.

In 150 patients with different dermatoses and 15 controls the activity of collagen peptidase in serum was determined. No relation to specific skin diseases was found. Negative findings were also observed in the group of collagenoses: only 4 of 14 patients with progressive systemic sclerosis showed an increase of this enzyme activity. These negative results seem noteworthy because it thus is demonstrated that alterations of collagen structure are not necessaryly associated with alterations of collagen peptidase activity.
