After modification of the usual histologic test method concerning water uptake of dermatoglyphic skin our experiences with washerwomen's hands have to be corrected. The singular wrinkle of washerwomen's hands is the effect of the sum of subepidermal water input. In addition, probably a vasomotoric effect is important to the wrinkling intravitally and early postmortally. After some time of submersion in water many disperse subepidermal water-filled chambers were seen postmortally. The ducts of lost of sweat glands were torn below the epidermal basal membrane. In vivo there will be a balance between uptake, resorption by the hemodynamic flux, and layer resistance. It is mentioned that the width of the epidermis after water penetration takes the minimum part of the wrinkles of washerwomen's hands. There was no hint as to the influence of decay or contraction of elastic and collagen fibers.
在对有关皮纹皮肤吸水性的常规组织学检测方法进行改进后，我们对于洗衣女工手部情况的认知必须加以修正。洗衣女工手部特有的皱纹是表皮下水份输入总和的结果。此外，血管运动效应可能对于活体和死后早期出现皱纹具有重要作用。在水中浸泡一段时间后，死后可见许多分散的表皮下充满水的腔隙。汗腺导管在表皮基底膜下方撕裂。在活体中，水的摄取、血液流动的再吸收和层阻力之间会达到平衡。文中提到，水渗透后表皮的宽度在洗衣女工手部皱纹中所占比例最小。没有迹象表明弹性纤维和胶原纤维的退变或收缩会产生影响。
