In order to appreciate the incidence of scabies, the authors conducted an observation of ll,848 cases of scabies in 152,254 outpatients at Chilgok Catholic Skin Clinic from January 1968 to December 1979 and the following results were obtained; The incidence of scabietic patients was 7.78% among total outpatients and the annual frequency increased progressively from 1972 (3.86%), showed maximal incidence in 1975(12. 35%), and thereafter decreased. In sexual distribution, males predominated over female 1.9: 1. In age distribution, 2nd and 3rd decades occupied 64 of total scabietic patients. The monthly distribution of total scabietic patients was highest in December (10.85%) and lowest in August (4.57%) but no seasonal variation was observed. Over half(54.9%) of 5,273 scabietic patients visited within 2 months after their infection. 1,031 cases(10.27%) of 10, 036 scabietic patients revealed the complications such as infection (5.04%), eczematization (3.37%) and nodule (1.86%).

It has recently been reported that chemical evaluations of a new benzodiazepine derivative, flunitrazepam (Ro 5-4200) revealed promising effects as premedicant. We studied on effects of premedication by double blind technique comparing flunitrazepam (Ro 5-4200) 0.03mg/kg I.M. and meperidine HCI 1mg/kg I.M. in 300 cases of preoperative patient by random selection. The questionaire on drowsiness, sleepiness and awareness during transport to the operation theatre, as well as nausea and vomiting were checked by anesthetists who were ignorant of the given premedicant. Following results were obtained; 1) Flunitrazepam has excellent calming effects in preanesthetic period, inducing drowsiness and adequate rest. 2) Flunitrazepam produces good sleep the night before operation. 3) Flunitrazepam has lower incidence of nausea and vomiting than that cf meperidine HCI.

BACKGROUND: There is no clear dermatologic definition to describe sensitive skin which usually includes subjective and psychological meanings. Some individuals exhibit exaggerated response, especially on the face, ranging from itching to intense adverse reaction like erythema, wheal, and eczema in comparison to normal ones when exposed to external irritants, allergens, environmental changes or internal stimulants. OBJECTIVE: To diagnose sensitive skin, lactic acid sting test is well known to represent a person who has subjective symptoms like itching, burning, prickling and stinging. We tried to compare several lactic acid sting tests to search for sensitive skin conveniently and rationally. METHODS: A total of 50 panelists (25 people of sensitive group and 25 people of control group, respectively) were selected by the method of self-assessment questionnaires related to sensitive skin. The panelists were tested on face, by conditioning 3 variances (5% or 10% Lactic acid, Hydration, Hilltop chamber), in 2 week intervals, 8 times totally. RESULTS: When lactic acid sting tests were performed using Hilltop chamber, there were more positive responders in sensitive group(p<0.05). There was statistically a significant difference between the 2 groups in the comparison of mean values of lactic acid sting scores (p<0.05). Sensitive group showed higher sting scores and exhibited much more difference with time (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: Our experiment showed that occlusive technique using Hilltop chamber was an inspiring and useful method of several lactic acid sting tests to find out sensitive skin.

Kaposi's varricelliform eruption is a characteristic syndrome of disseminated vesiculopustules superimposed on variable pre-existing dermatoses. Among these, atopic dermatitis is most common disease. We report two cases of Kaposi's varicelliform eruption associated with atopic dermatitis in a pair of identical twins. Diagnosis was made by the history, clinical feature, histologic examination and serologic test. These patients' condition was much improved by the treatment with antiviral agent and antibiotics.

Twelve male patients with operable breast cancer were evaluated for the expression of prognostic factors by immunohistochemical staining assay. Seven patients were stage I and II, and five patients were stage III. Axillary lymph node positivity was 42%. Nine patients were nuclear grade I, three were nuclear grade II, and none were nuclear grade III. The expression rate of EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor), ER (estrogen receptor) were 8.3%, 70.0% respectively. This limited data suggest better tumor behavior in male than in female breast cancer. Adjuvant treatment should be considered in male breast cancer just as in females, based on axillary lymph node and ER states.

BACKGROUND: Increased isolation of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Entero bacteriaceae resistant to third generation cephalosporins and aztreonam has been noted recently. This study was to determine the prevalence of resistance to these drugs and ESBL in Enterobacteriaceae and to evaluate the methods for de tection. METHODS: During the period of October, 1997 and March, 1998, a total of 731 clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae were collected from patients of the Kosin Medical Center, Pusan, Korea. Antimicrobial susceptibility test by disk diffusion method and double disk synergy test were performed. MICs of beta-lactams were determined by agar dilution method. And ESBL genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: About 10% of Escherichia coli isolates and 20% of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates were intermediate or resistant to the third generation cephalosporins or aztreonam. Sensitivities of cefotaxime, ceftazidime, ceftriaxone and cefpodoxime disks for the detection of ESBL- producing strains of E. coli and K. pneumoniae by NCCLS standards were 100%, respectively, but that of aztreonam disk was 97%. Positive predictive value of the ceftazidime disk was higher than those of other disks. Twenty strains of E. coli, 20 K pneumoniae, 19 Enterobacter spp., six Citrobacter freundii, and eight Serratia marcescens showed positive results in double disk synergy test. The transconjugant strain of K. pneumoniae K20482 had blaSHV, and remains of transconjugants of ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae, Enterobacter spp. and S. marcescens had blaTEM. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, many strains of Enterobacteriaceae isolated in Korea were resistant to third generation cephalosporins and aztreonam. Some of the strains of Enterobacter spp. and S. marcescens as well as E. coli and K. pneumoniae produced ESBL, and majority of these strains had blaTEM. In the detection of ESBL-producing strains of E. coli and K. pneumoniae by NCCLS standards, all of the antimicrobial agent disks tested were useful, but ceftazidime disk was most effective because of its highest positive predictive value.
