He was the one who led me to the Dermatology field. Hu C.K.M.D.; he was a great dermatologist in China and the first scholar who described vitamin D deficiency in the world. He introduced me to the immunology. Wang K.C.M.D.; former chairman of my department. He guided me on how to be a good clinical dermatologist. Rudolf L. Baer; he was a great dermatologist as well as a great organizer. I learnt how to run a department and how to organize a group of outstanding scholars working together. A. Bernard Ackerman; he was a great dermatopathologist and I learnt how to be a good speaker from him. Jean-Claude Bystryn and Irma Gigli; they taught me a lot on how to think and how to do research work. Yes. See above in “Academic engagements” in detail. Firstly, I discovered the pathogenic mechanism of paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP) which suggested early detection of the associated tumour and early resection. Then, this resulted in a great reduction of the mortality of PNP. Secondly, I established the China Dermatologist Association as one of the initiator and promoters and contributed in the development of dermatology in China. I lost more than 10 years (1965–1975) because of the ‘culture revolution’ in my country. Classical music and travelling. Composers: Beethoven, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff. Writer: Jean L.

A World of Scientific Endeavors and Friendships

To give readers a sense of the important contributions of the European Society for Dermatological Research (ESDR) in the development of individuals’ careers from the early 90s through the early 2000s, we asked Eugene Healy (University of Southampton, UK), Sarolta Karpati (Semmelweis University, Budapest, Hungary), and Lajos Kemeny (University of Szeged, Hungary) to share their experience in leadership positions in the Society during that period. They were posed several questions, presented in bold, and their responses follow their initials in the paragraphs that follow.

Neue Entwicklungen in der Lasertherapie

Based on the theory of stimulated emission of radiation that was proposed by Albert Einstein in 1916, the first lasers were developed in the 1960s. The first clinical use of laser technology in a German university took place in 1978 in the Department of Dermatology of the Ludwig-Maximilian-University in Munich under the guidance of the former director, Prof. Dr. med. Dr. h.c. mult. Otto Braun-Falco. In the following years, laser technology developed rapidly. Today laser technology is a widely used interdisciplinary therapeutic procedure that has deep clinical and scientific roots in dermatology. There are many conditions in both classic and aesthetic dermatology that are routinely - and sometimes exclusively - treated with lasers. Here we review recent developments in laser medicine. There seems to be a trend to combination procedures. To enhance efficacy, different laser systems are together or lasers are combined with specific topical medications.
