Abstract
In chronic skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis (AD), therapeutic failure due to poor patient adherence to treatment is commonly reported. Therapeutic patient education (TPE) is an approach to improve self-management and adherence. Several studies demonstrated that TPE programmes have positive effects on disease management resulting in decreased disease severity and improved quality of life in AD patients. Various healthcare professionals (dermatologists, nurses, psychologists, dieticians) have been involved. TPE performed by trained dermatology nurses are highly efficient and improve various health-related outcomes. The aim of this position paper is to analyse the aims, modalities and efficacy of TPE in AD, to identify specific roles of dermatology nurses, to assess qualification requirements, and to propose practical recommendations. Potential activities of nurses in ongoing and future TPE programmes for AD patients will be discussed.

Abstract
Weight loss and malnutrition are major problems in patients with chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). In adults, low body mass index (BMI) is a predictor for mortality; however, weight loss and BMI have not been studied in pediatric chronic GVHD. A retrospective study on 18 children with extensive chronic GVHD was completed. Median age at SCT was 12.3 (range 0.6-23) years; age at chronic GVHD diagnosis was 12.5 (1-23) years. Patients with multiorgan involvement had a mean maximal decrease in BMI of 20.9% and most dropped below 10th percentile in expected weight-for-age. This change in BMI not only indicates a significant decrease in weight but often a plateau in stature. In contrast, patients with one organ system involved had a mean maximal decrease in BMI of 5% and did not fall below 10th percentile. All patients with multiorgan involvement required salvage therapy beyond steroids and CSA. Three patients died due to complications of chronic GVHD. Weight loss and malnutrition (as reflected by a decrease in BMI) are clinically significant issues in children with multisystem chronic GVHD. Weight loss is likely another systemic manifestation of the disease and may contribute, along with other factors such as increased immunosuppression and infection, to increased mortality in this group.

Abstract
The gene of Orf5 (SolR) of Clostridium acetobutylicum DSM 792 was subcloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The protein was purified with Ni-NTA agarose and used for DNA binding assays. No DNA binding of Orf5 to regions upstream of the sol operon from C. acetobutylicum was observed. Overexpression of Orf5 in C. acetobutylicum led to a change in the organism's pattern of glycosylated exoproteins. The Orf5 protein was localized in the cell membrane fraction and to a small extent in the supernatant medium. Based on these results Orf5 (SolR) appears not to act as a transcriptional repressor in C. acetobutylicum, but instead may be an enzyme involved in glycosylation or deglycosylation.
