Journal ArticleDOI
A study of the chemical reactions between chromium and skin.
M.H. Samitz,Sidney A. Katz +1 more
TL;DR: Baetjer, Damron and Budacz as mentioned in this paper investigated the interactions of both tri-and hexavalent chromium with lung tissue, and found that only trivalent was bound to the tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI
Studies of the diffusion of chromium compounds through skin.
TL;DR: Two factors must be taken into account in order to interpret the results of patch test reactions of chromate-sensitive subjects to trivaient chromium compounds: the penetrability of the compound through the epidermal barrier and the concentrations of the test solutions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nickel-epidermal interactions: diffusion and binding.
M.H. Samitz,Sidney A. Katz +1 more
TL;DR: The nickel uptake of these modified epidermis powders as compared to the untreated material indicates that carboxyl groups are involved in the binding of nickel to a greater extent than are amino groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nickel Dermatitis Hazards From Prostheses
M.H. Samitz,Arnold Klein +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that nickel released from the stainless steel screws (a tenable thesis because Ferguson and co-workers 3 and Mears 4 have reported increased nickel concentrations in parenchymal tissues from implantation of stainless steel rods containing nickel) produced the allergic reaction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ascorbic acid in the prevention of chrome dermatitis. Mechanism of inactivation of chromium.
TL;DR: The mechanism for the inactivation of hexavalent chromium by ascorbic acid involves reduction to trivalent Chromium and subsequent complex formation of the trivalents species.
