2.Subcutaneous Dermoid Cysts in a Family ( Mother and Daughter ).
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1988;26(5):764-767
Dermoid cyst is rare developmental anomaly with sequestration of embryonic closure line, but there is no suggestian that such an anomaly is inherited. The patients were 41 year old mother and 10 year old daugliter whose skin lesions have been noticed since puberta.lstae in the mother and since birth in the daugther It was interesting for those lesions to be appeared typically on the superior orbital area.

3.Apoptosis of Fas Expressed Target Cells Induced by Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes.
Korean Journal of Immunology 1997;19(2):245-262
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) playing an important role in e cell-mediated immune response kill the target cells by the special contact-dependent mechanism. It has been known that CTL and NK cells utilize two different pathways in removing specific target cells: apoptotic cell death and osmotic lysis by the pore forming protein. Interaction of CTL with target cells results in the ligand-induced, receptor-mediated, nonsecretory lytic process and lethal hit is delivered by the transducing molecule, Fas (CD95, APO-1), one of the TNFR/NGFR superfamily. In addition, ligation of TNF receptor and CD40 also induced the apoptosis of B cell and epithelial cells. However, recognition of target cells, the triggering mechanism, cytotoxic mediators, internal metabolic pathway and signal transduction behind apoptosis remain undefined and have been elucidated only in part. ...continue...

4.A Clinical Study of Zomepirac
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1982;17(2):200-205
A clinical study was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of Zomepirac in 27 patients who had undergone bone surgery, 13 patients who had soft tissue surgery and 7 non-surgical patients admitted to the department of orthopedic surgery of Hanyang University Hospital from Oct., 1981 to Nov., 1981. The conclusions were as follows: 1. To decrease pain by half, Zomepirac was determined to be much more effective in patients with severe pain than in patients with moderate pain. 2. The initial pain relief was also more marked in patients with severe pain than in patients with moderate pain. 3. The duration of analgesia with Zomepirac was longer in patients with severe pain than in patients with moderate pain. 4. The duration of pain relief after medication with Zomepirac was from 1 to 3 hours in 79.3% of patients. 5. The results of treatment were excellent in 5 patients (10.6%), very good in 5 patients (10.6%), good in 7 patients (14.9%), fair in 4 patients (8.5%), poor in 1 patient (2.2%), when the intensity of pain before treatment was severe; but fair in 13 patients (27.7%), poor in 11 patients (23.3%), when the pain was moderate. Thus the clinical results demonstrated that this medication was remarkably effective in patients with severe pain and much less so in patients with only inoderate pain. 6. Side effects were mild transient drowsiness in 3 patients (6.3%) and gastric colic in 2 patients (4.3%). In patients with drowsiness was continuously administered. The gastric colic subsided when the medication was combined with antacid.

7.Mechanism for Toxicity of Cytolysin Produced by Vibrio vulnificus.

Korean Journal of Dermatology 1989;27(5):512-520
The extracellular cytolysin produced by V. ulnificus has gained great attention as a causative factor for the pathogenesis of V. vulnificus-infected disease. In this study, an attempt was made to elucidated the mechanism for the toxity of cytolysin. 1. Cytolysin given to mouse showed lethal activity with LD of 3.7 HU and produced hemoconcentration, suggesting that its lethal activitis attributable to the increased vascular permeability. 2. The lethal activity of cytolysin for mouse was prevented by intraperitoneal administration of clemastin or verapamil one hour before intravenous injection of cytolysin. 3. Treatment of peritoneal mast cells from rats with cytolysin stimulated histamine relesse irrespective of the prescence of extracellular Ca and the stimulatory effect of cytolysin was not affected by the pretreatment of mast cells with per tussis toxin. 4. The hemolytic activity and stimulatory effect of cytolysin on histamine release from mast cell were inhibited by cholesterol. The results suggest that the lethal activity of cytolysin is attributable to the increased vascular permeability which is resulted from the stimulation of histsmine release from mast cells and/or basophils by cytolysin.

8.Normal Flora of the Skin in Korean Peoples.

Korean Journal of Dermatology 1987;25(2):187-192
Skin floras were taken from forehead, sternal area, lower margin of axillae, and interscapular space of 50 healthy Koreans(M 30, F 20) between 18 year and 40 years old using Williamson and Kligman's method and modified Pilsburg and .Nichols method. After incubating these floras for 3-5 days aerobically and anaerobically, we identified them using various stains and biochemical tests. The most common flora was Corynebucterium acne(84%), followed by aerobic diphtheroids(14%), coagulase negative staphylococcus, Micrococcus in orders. Although transient floras including Staphylococcus aareas, Pseudomonas, Listeria monocytogenes, and other Gram negative bacilli were isolated, they were rare and did mainly from axilla. The most common resident site of Corynebacteirium acne was forehead (l. 67 x 10/cm), but in aerobic diphtheroids and Micrococcaceae was the lower margin of axilla(2.70x16/cm, 2.34x10/cm), in which aerobic floras were more than anaerobics. The incidence rate of lipophilic diphtheroid was 27%, however it was 35% in axilla. The aerobic diphtheroid capable of nitrate reduction was 26%, which was very common in forehead. Among Propionibacterium species, Propionibacterim(P) acne was isolated 100% from all sites, but P. grandulosum was only in 2-7% and P. avidum was not.

Korean Journal of Dermatology 1988;26(3):415-418
We experienced a 54-year-old female patient who had multiple vegetaing plaques and, peripherally, a few pustules in her both axillae. On the skin biopsy specimen of the vegetating plaque, it showed acanthosis, suprabasal acsntholysis, papillo-matosis, downward proliferation of the epidermis, and eosinophilic microroabscess in the epidermis. The indirect immunofluorescence study disclosed anto-antibody positive to intercellular substance of the lip of guinea pig, while direct. immuno-fluorescence of the perilesional skin reealed no specific findings. The skin lesion had improved with topical and systemic steroid therapy.
