The exposures to carbamate pesticides (BPMC specifically) of agricultural workers were estimated by collecting pesticide in air by personal sampler and by analyzing with gas chromatography. Data revealed that the highest BPMC concentration in the aspirated air was 7.7 mg/m3. Concentrations were generally higher in the group whose spray conditions were controlled than the group uncontrolled. Actual concentrations were relatively lower than the values predicted theoretically. These findings suggest that personal sampler be useful in the estimation of pesticide exposure.

Lymphomatoid papulosis(LyP) is a chronic recurrent dermatosi characterized by involuting and recurring papules, plaques, and nodules showing histologic feaurs suggesting rnalignant lymphoma. On histologic ground, it is divided into two types. type A and type B. In type A, large atypical lymphocytes are the main cellular cornponent and most of these express CD 30(Ki-1) antigen, which has been p!reviously thought to be specific for Read Sternberg cells of Hodgkins disease. In type B, cerebriform mononuclear lymphocytes sirr la to those in mycosis fungoides predominates. We report two cases of lymphomatoid papulosis, type A and type B, respectively. The large atypical cells in type A LyP expressed Ki 1 antigen. Both case were treated with PUVA and the outcome of the treatment has been fair.

We rep a case of vulvar syringoma in a 32-year-old woman who had pruritus vulvae for 2 years. An examination of both the labia major revealed slightly thickened hyperpigmented or hypopigmented patches without yellow papules. A skin punch biopsy revealed characteristic histological findings of syringoma. Syringoma of the vulva is a rare disorder and is usually asymptomatic. Five cases of vulvar syringoma preriously reported in the Korean literature all had asymptomatic yellow or brown colored papules, but this case presented here was clinically considered as pruritus vulvae.

The May-Hegglin anomaly is a rare autosomal dominant trait characterized by platelet abnormalities in the peripheral blood and large (up to 5mu) pale blue staining inclusions in the cytoplasm of neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, and monocytes. We experienced a case of May-Hegglin anomaly in a 7 year old male and another case out of his family. His initial complaints at the admission were petechiae and intermittent epistaxis. Diagnosis was confirmed by peripheral blood smear and family study. We report the case with brief review of related literature.

Muscles from three patients were obtained during continuous ischemic periods and were investigated ultrastructural changes to know the reversible tourniquet time. Tourniquet was applied for periods lasting between 60 minutes and 90 minutes in the human and muscle biopsies were taken from 10 minutes to 90 minutes ischemic period and at the same periods after release of the tourniquet. All specimens were investigated with electron microscopy and the results were as follows: In 10 minutes tourniquet period, loss of cristae in few mitochondria were observed. In 30 minutes tourniquet period, partial swelling, loss of cristae and myelin figure in many mitochondrias and vacuolar dilatation in T-tubule and sarcoplasmic reticulumn were observed. In 60 minutes tourniquet period, above change were observed in nearly all mitochondrias and total number of mitochondrias were decreased. In 90 minutes tourniquet period, above changes were more distinct. 20 minutes after release of 90 minutes tourniquet period, small sized new mitochondria were appeared and abundant electron dense granule in their matrix and sarcoplasmic reticulumn were visible. 60 minutes after release of 90 minutes tourniquet period, the majority of damaged mitochondrias were replaced by small sized new mitochondrias and electron dense granule were abundant in sarcoplasmic reticulumn. In human, the changes on the ultrastructure were reversible for at least a succeeding 90 minutes ischemic periods.
