T.E,N. is characterized by large flaccid bullous eruption that has the appearance of the scalded lesion and has large sheets of the pilling off skin. This 49-year-old female patient was suffered from the erythematous skin lesions on the face and. upper chest since 8 hours after oral administration of sulfa drug for endametritis. These lesions spread to the about 80% of whole body surface, and changes to the characterastic flaccid bullous scalded lesion, within next 24 hours. This patient was treated with a massive systemic corticosteroid and antibiotics and etc,so complete recovery of the lesions were found in three case of T.E.N. due to sulfa drug is presented with brief review of literature.

Ultrasono-guided percutaneous catheter drainage of 28 abscesses and fluid collections was performed. In 24cases, operation was avoided and the patients were cured(24/28). Of these, 4 cases were recurred and repeatedcatheter drainage was performed. There were two failures and partial success was achieved in 2 cases; in thesepatients, operation was necessary, although the patients benefited from the percutaneous drainage. Cures andpartial successes totaled 26/28. We describe significance of the diagnostic needle aspiration, especially inpredicting the drainability of cavity contents. We review aspects of postprocedurecatheter management includingirrigation and timining of withdrawal.

Trochanteric fractures are seen in elderly patients and have high mortality and morbidity. Strong internal fixation and early ambulation is the best way to treat fractures. For this purpose, recently, compression sliding screw plate became popular. The surgical procedure of open reduction and internal fixation were carried on 36 intertrochanteric fractures at Depertment of Orthopedic Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital, from Jan. 1972 to Dec. 1977 and the following results were obtained. 1. Of 36 cases of intertrochanteric fracture, 20 cases were in man, with the peak age at the 5th decade, and 16 cases in woman mostly over the 7th decade. 2. Most common causes were fall or traffic accidents in man and fall in woman. 3. Interval from injury to operation was less than 1 week usually. 4. Unstable fractures were 86% and of these, Tronzo Type III was the most common. 5. The trend of use of internal fixation device was from S-P plate and screw, and Jewett nail to sliding compression plate and screw. 6. Reduction of medial displacement with Dimon-Hughston method was used commonly in Jewett nailing and anatomical reduction in sliding compression plate and screw. 7. Post operative cast immobilization were applied in a few cases of under 50 years old, Other-wise early ambulation were carried out. 8. Post operative complications were encountered in 8 cases (22%), but none were fatal.

Cholangiocarcinomas have several histologic types, but intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma with sarcomatous change is rare. A 71-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of fever which had lasted two months. Ultrasonography (US) of the upper abdomen demonstrated a huge hepatic mass with central solid and peripheral cystic portions, and computed tomography (CT) revealed a heterogeneous hepatic mass with a central area in which enhancedment was delayed. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) disclosed a huge mass of predominantly low signal intensity at T1WI, and peripheral portions of high signal intensity and a central portion of intermediate signal intensity at T2WI. The pathologic diagnosis was cholangiocarcinoma with sarcomatous change.

The nevus of Ota is a benign dermal melanocytic lesion that most commonly occurs unilaterally in areas innervated by the first and second division of the trigeminal nerve. Acquired bilateral nevus of Ota-like macules(ABNOM) are located bilaterally on the forehead, temples, eyelids, cheeks, and/or nose. They usually occur in the fourth or fifth decade of life in women(rarely in men). In contrast to the nevus of Ota, ABNOM have not been observed in the mucous membranes of the oral cavity, nose, or eyes. Traditional treatments were palliative, risky electrocautery, or cryotherapy. These methods resulted in permanent pigmentary changes and/or scarring. Recently utilizing the principle of selective photothermolysis, the Q-switched Alexandrite laser has been reported to be successful in treating benign pigmentary lesions and tattoos. Our study evaluated the treatment of 127 patients with nevus of Ota and ABNOM with the Q-switched Alexandrite laser(755 nm, 100 nsec). Nevi were treated up to 7 times with 7-8 J/cm2 at a minimum of 6 weeks interval. Good therapeutic effects were gained (up to 50% improvement was seen in 89% of patients.) and our patients were very satisfied. No patients had permanent textural change or scarring. Treatment with on Alexandrite laser for nevus of Ota & ABNOM is considered to be a safe and effective method.
