The mast cells tend to multiply in the skin, causing dark, itchy skin spots known as urticaria pigmentosa. This study will determine if the skin of patients with mastocytosis produces chemicals called cytokines that cause mast cells to migrate to the skin and multiply. The findings will be compared with those from normal volunteers and patients with atopic dermatitis, a skin disease characterized by recurrent itchy rash usually seen in people with a family history of allergies.\n\nHealthy volunteers, patients with mastocytosis and patients with atopic dermatitis 18 years of age and older may be eligible for this study. Participants will have the following tests and procedures:\n\n* Suction blisters - Two to eight small blisters will be raised on the forearm using gentle suction. The fluid in the blisters will be collected with a syringe to study the chemicals produced by the skin. The tops of the blisters may be removed for research.\n* Template study - Patients with high cytokine content in the blister fluid may have a template study. For this procedure, a plastic block (template) with holes matching the blister sites is placed over the blistered area. The wells of the template are filled with salt water and the fluid is removed with a syringe at 3, 8 and/or 24 hours. Patients are hospitalized for 24 hours for this study.\n* Skin biopsy - A skin biopsy will be done to correlate cytokine levels with the number of mast cells in the skin. An area of skin is numbed with an anesthetic and a small circular area about the size of a pencil eraser is removed, using a sharp cookie cutter-type instrument.\n* Blood draw - About 4 tablespoons of blood will be drawn to compare the chemicals in the blood with those in the blister fluid. The blood will also be analyzed for a complete blood count, clotting factors and substances that may be elevated in people with allergies.", "detailedDescription"=>"Systemic mastocytosis is a disease characterized by an abnormal accumulation of mast cells in skin, bone marrow and viscera. Precise mechanisms of events leading to the migration and proliferation of mast cells in skin is not known. We propose to investigate the in vivo cytokine and chemokine production patterns of human skin in patients with mastocytosis and compare these findings to those of patients with atopic dermatitis and to healthy volunteers, using the suction blister technique. The cytokines/chemokines of interest in this study are stem cell factor (SCF), interleukin (IL)-3, IL-4, IL-6, IL-9, IL-10, TNF-alpha, TGF-beta, MCP-1 and RANTES, all of which have been shown to take part in the proliferation, differentiation or chemotaxis of mast cells. Our hypothesis is that human skin is producing mediators which allow the mast cells to migrate and proliferate in skin, resulting in the clinical picture of urticaria pigmentosa. Suction blisters will be generated in patients, and the cytokine/chemokine contents of the blister fluids will be analyzed by immunoassay. If the chemokine content of the blister fluid is found to be high, chemotaxis of mast cell precursors to the skin may also be examined in vivo by placing a template filled with sterile saline over the blister sites. Punch biopsies will be performed to correlate cytokine levels with mast cell numbers. This study will aid in understanding the pathogenesis of cutaneous mast cell disease and may provide insights into the regulation of mast cell growth and differentiation in tissue-specific microenvironments. It is hoped that these studies will contribute to the design of novel treatment strategies against mast cell associated skin diseases."}, "eligibilityModule"=>{"sex"=>"ALL", "stdAges"=>["CHILD", "ADULT", "OLDER_ADULT"], "healthyVolunteers"=>true, "eligibilityCriteria"=>"General: Age equal to or greater than 18.\n\nAccess to a primary medical care provider outside of the NIH.\n\nAble to give informed consent.\n\nNo history of malignancy or autoimmune disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, vasculitis, pyoderma gangrenosum, psoriasis.\n\nNo use of systemic corticosteroids within the past month.\n\nNo use of local corticosteroids at the proposed blistering site within the past month.\n\nNo evidence of current acute infection.\n\nINR less than or equal to 1.5, PTT less than or equal to 40, platelet count greater than or equal to 100,000/mm(3).\n\nNo personal or family history of keloid formation.\n\nBlood glucose less than or equal to 160.\n\nNo use of any investigative drugs within the past month.\n\nNo allergy to lidocaine.\n\nHealthy volunteers must not have a history of atopic dermatitis, mastocytosis or chronic urticaria.\n\nMastocytosis: Histologic evidence of mast cell hyperplasia in at least one organ system.\n\nAtopic Dermatitis: Must have at least 3 major and 3 minor criteria.\n\nNo history of mastocytosis."}, "identificationModule"=>{"nctId"=>"NCT00001760", "briefTitle"=>"Cytokine Production Patterns in Patients With Systemic Mastocytosis Compared With Atopic Dermatitis and Healthy Individuals", "organization"=>{"class"=>"NIH", "fullName"=>"National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC)"}, "officialTitle"=>"Determination of Cytokine Production Patterns in the Skin of Patients With Systemic Mastocytosis and Atopic Dermatitis Using the Suction Blister Technique", "orgStudyIdInfo"=>{"id"=>"980049"}, "secondaryIdInfos"=>[{"id"=>"98-I-0049"}]}, "contactsLocationsModule"=>{"locations"=>[{"zip"=>"20892", "city"=>"Bethesda", "state"=>"Maryland", "country"=>"United States", "facility"=>"National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)", "geoPoint"=>{"lat"=>38.98067, "lon"=>-77.10026}}]}, "sponsorCollaboratorsModule"=>{"leadSponsor"=>{"name"=>"National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)", "class"=>"NIH"}}}}
