Materials placed over human skin may change the stratum corneum (sc) hydration level, an important phenomenon because increases in normal levels of sc hydration pose potential health problems. This study examines the relationship between fabric moisture content and level of sc hydration so that the role of fabric moisture on sc hydration may be better understood. Three fabric/moisture treatments are placed on the sc—3.5-denier polyester fabric with an initial moisture content of 35% and cotton fabrics with either 44% or 75% initial moisture content—then covered with an occlusive dome. sc evaporative water loss (ewl) is measured before treatment placement and after 30 and 60 minutes of contact. The amount of moisture in the fabric at time of removal is calculated two different ways, and three analyses of variance are done using the evaporative water loss and two fabric final moisture content data sets. The rate of ewl is significantly higher after 30 minutes of treatment contact with sc than after 60 minutes of contact. The amount of moisture in the fabrics is significantly less at time 60 than at time 30, implying that the sc is more hydrated at 30 minutes than at 60 minutes. However, the fabrics contain less moisture when removed at 60 minutes than at 30 minutes. As fabric moisture content decreases, sc hydration decreases. The question we are not able to answer is “Where does the moisture go that is initially in the fabric?’

Fabric placed over human skin may change the stratum corneum (SC) hydration level, an important phenomenon because increases in normal levels of SC hydration pose potential health problems. The skin becomes more susceptible to abrasive damage, increases in permeability, and is more prone to microbial growth. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of fiber type and fabric moisture content on SC hydration. Using three similarly constructed knit fabrics, six fabric type/moisture content combinations were selected for the tests. Using an occluded plastic dome, fabric samples were placed on both “normal” and “hydrated” volar forearm skin of subjects for a specified time period, then removed. Two minutes after removal, evaporative water loss and skin temperature were measured. The design of the study was a randomized complete block with all possible treatment combinations applied to each subject. Data were analyzed using analyses of variance on the linear and quadratic coefficients of best fit lines and Bonferroni t tests. For “normal” skin, SC hydration generally increased as fabric moisture content increased. The SC was significantly drier after being in contact with cotton fabric at regain than at the two moisture content levels above regain, and also under polyester fabric. For hydrated skin, the hydration state was significantly lower under the cotton fabric at regain than at 38.6% moisture content and at saturation, but was not significantly different under the polyester fabric at regain and at saturation.

SummaryThe distribution of 32P-polyphosphates (lineal and cross-linked) and 32Porthophosphate in normal and tumor bearing animals has been studied. Differences between the cross-linked and the lineal form are related to a different degree of susceptibility to the hydrolysis by the phosphatases. In contrast to orthophosphate, the polyphosphates showed a lower accumulation in soft tissues which gives an advantageous reduction of the total body radiation dose.
