During normal aging, the number of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra progressively diminishes, although massive DA neuronal loss is a hallmark sign of Parkinson's disease. Unfortunately, there is little known about the molecular events involved in age-related DA neuronal loss. In this study, we found that (1) the level of parkin was decreased in the cerebellum, brain stem, substantia nigra, and striatum of aged mice, (2) diaminodiphenyl sulfone (DDS) restored the level of parkin, (3) DDS prevented age-dependent DA neuronal loss, and (4) DDS protected SH-SY5Y cells from 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium and hydrogen peroxide.

Linear immunoglobulin A (IgA) bullous dermatosis (LABD) is an autoimmune mucocutaneous disease characterized by subepidermal blistering induced by IgA autoantibodies against several autoantigens in the basal membranous zone of the skin and mucosal tissue. Although diaminodiphenyl sulfone (DDS), also known as dapsone, is generally recognized as the first-line therapy for LABD, DDS can induce several severe side effects. We present a Japanese case of LABD with DDS-induced hemolytic anemia and alopecia.
