To assess the relationship between a nailfold scleroderma pattern and histopathological data, we compared the results of nailfold capillaroscopy with capillary basement membrane width of labial salivary glands in 25 patients with either a Raynaud's disease (RD: 12 patients) or a progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS: 13 patients). The sensitivity of a capillaroscopic scleroderma pattern for capillary basement membrane thickness is of 75%. These results confirm the usefulness of in vivo capillary examination for the early diagnosis of PSS.

D001485 Basement Membrane A darkly stained mat-like EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX (ECM) that separates cell layers, such as EPITHELIUM from ENDOTHELIUM or a layer of CONNECTIVE TISSUE. The ECM layer that supports an overlying EPITHELIUM or ENDOTHELIUM is called basal lamina. Basement membrane (BM) can be formed by the fusion of either two adjacent basal laminae or a basal lamina with an adjacent reticular lamina of connective tissue. BM, composed mainly of TYPE IV COLLAGEN; glycoprotein LAMININ; and PROTEOGLYCAN, provides barriers as well as channels between interacting cell layers.
