The coronary arteries of young individuals are histologically studied. Fourteen cases in pediatric age group and three adult hearts were used. No case had clinical and pathological evidences of heart disease. Inner circumference, thickness of tunicae intima, media and adventitia were measured at eight different sites of coronary arteries. The thickness of tunica media was used as a standard scale of cardiac growth, and the heart weight, body weight, height and age were compared with the medial thickness. The morphological changes were assessed in five groups by the heart weights. Group I ( less than 10 gm) showed single endothelial lining with cytoplasmic vacuolization or endothelial denudation. Group II (more than 10 but less than 20 gm) consisted of full term babies and showed first stigma of focal intimal thickening and intimal collagen fibers. Diffuse intimal thickening more than 1/1 of medial thickness was first seen in a case with 46 gm of heart weight. Elastic fiber was not seen in internal elastic laminae of groups I and II. Fragmentation of internal elastic lamina and smooth muscle proliferation as a form of musculoelastic layer were the major findings of intimal thickening in childhood and no case showed complicated atherosclerotic lesions.

Waardenburg syndrome is a very rare auditory-pigment syndrome with autosomal dominant inheritance. In his first report in 1951, Waardenburg characterized this syndrome as dystopia canthorum, a high broad nasal bridge, synophrys[confluent eyebrows], heterochromia iridid, a white forelock or early graying, and sensory neural deafness. We observed a case of Type 2 Waardenburg syndrome with openangle glaucoma and, therefore report with literature review.

Nevus sebaceus is an ozganoid nevus of sebaceous differentiation first described by Jydassohn in 1895 and commonly develops on scalp or face as a single lesion. But it may be multiple end extensive, and often associated with abnormallities-convulsion, megtal retardation, neurological defects, skeletal defects, or ocular abnormalities. We have experienced a case of 22-year-old male who has since birth had- multiple nevus sebaceus on she left side of face and trunk, epidermal nevi on parts of the face, and wide nevus spilus and numerous pigmenteri nevi on the left side of trunk and the left upper extremity. He has histories of convulsions and mental retardation. EEG showed minimal abnormality. Skull x-ray and other routine examinations were within normsl limits. We report a case of nevus sebaceus syndrome which may be considered as a neurocutaneous syndrome.

Recently, increased traffic accident has resulted in a corresponding increase in incidences of blunt trauma. Tracheal and main bronchial injuries artier blunt chest trauma can be life-threatening, and hence early diagnosis and early management of patients with such injuries are essential. A 3-year-old boy was transferred to the Department of Emergency Medicine after a motor vehicle accident in which he sustained multiple blunt injuries consisting of tracheal rupture, left main bronchial rupture, liver laceration, vitreous hemorrhage, and fracture of the iliac wing. The tracheal rupture was managed nonoperatively with intensive respiratory care, while the left main bronchial rupture was managed surgically by bronchoplasty. Postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged without respiratory problems.

Journal of the Korean Pediatric Society 1994;37(1):104-108
A female newborn had the following characteristics; a congenital localized absence of skin over the lower extremities; blistering of the skin or mucous membrane, incited by trauma, which heals without scarring; and congenital absence or deformity of the nails. In respect to the characteristic manifestation, clinical course and electron microscopic features, our patient seems to fit well into Bart's syndrome. The inheritance pattern appears to be autosomal dominant but, as in this report, isolated cases have been recognized. As the review of the literatures, congenital localized absence of skin has been observed in various subsets of inherited E.B. But, we believe that the term Bart's syndrome should be used to identify patients with good prognosis as the Bart's initial description To the best of our knowedge, this is the first reported case of Bart's syndrome in the korean literature.

10.An Analysis of Psychiatric Characteristics of the Alopecia: A Comparative Study between Alopecia Areata and Alopecia Totalis.
Journal of Korean Neuropsychiatric Association 2000;39(3):539-555
OBJECTIVES: The present study was performed to reveal correlations between the severity of the alopecia and their alopecia related variables such as patterns of hair loss, psychiatric characteristics, associate illnesses, and methods of treatment and to use them as basic materials for proper manaement and early prevention of the alopecia prone cases. METHODS: In order to analyze correlation between the severity of psychopathogy and the severity of hair losses, the subjects were divided into two subgroups as the 60 case of alopecia areata and the 33 cases of alopecia totalis with more severely affected loss of hairs, who had visited to the department of psychiatry after they were consulted from the department of dermatology, Yongsan hopital, ChungAng University, Seoul, Korea, from January 1998 to December 1998. In data analysis, the subjects were statistically assesed by chi-squre test and T-test through SPSS-PC+ 8.0V. RESULTS: 1) Those with the more severely affected alopecia were more likely to visit to the department of dermatology in winter, and to show lower socioeconomical level in comparison to the alopecia areata. 2) Those with the more severely affected alopecia were more likely to show past history of alopecia, to recur frequently more than 3 times, to be damaged more severely, to have an younger mean age at onset of alopecia, to have longer total duration of hair loss than 2 years, to have longer recent duration of hair loss than 9 months, to have more loss of hairs on the vertex area at onset of alopecia, to have more loss of hairs in eyebrows, to have more loss of hairs more than 2 areas, to have more family history of alopecia in their parent, and to have poorer prognosis in comparison to those of the alopecia areata. 3) Psychosocial stress were positively correlated with the severity of loss of hairs. In the more severely affected alopecia group, their degree of stress were perceived higher. The more severely affected patients with alopecia , were poorer in their adjustment in family life,interpersonal relations or heterosexual relations, and suffered more from intrafamilial life changes in comparison to those of the alopecia areata group. 4) Those with the more severly affected alopecia were more likely to show serious psychopathology such as an increased rate of the depression, to complain more frequently with anxiety symptoms or depressive symptoms, to have personality disorders including the histrionic or the passive aggressive traits in comparison to the alopecia areata. 5) Those with the more severly affected alopecia were more likely to show neurotic MMPI code profiles such as histrionic or hypochondriacal trends. 6) Antianxiety drug such as alprazolam and drug therapies including tretinin,polytar or oral sorarens plus ultra-violet light A photochemotherapy were significantly more effective in the treatment of those with the more severly affected alopecia group. CONCLUSION: The most important factors in developing a psychopathologic reaction to the hair loss due to alopecia seems to be the presence of mental disorders including depression, the presence of stressful life events such as intrafamilial life changes, the presence of a significantly higher percentages of personality disorders such as the hysterical or the passive aggressive, and the presence of the psychosocial sequele and maladjustment in various life situations. From the above facts, the authors suggested that dermatologists acting as the primary care physician are in a unique position to recognize psychiatric comorbidity and execute meaningful intervention for patients with alopecia with psychiatrists.
