Cutis naarmorata telangiectatica congenita(CMTC) was first lesribed by Van Lohuizen in 1992. Cases of CMTC were reported later under various names, includir gan Lohuizens syndrome, congenital generalized phlebectasia. congential phlebectasia and reticulatever scular nevus. It is charaterized by persistent livedo reticularis, telangiectasia and phlectnsia from birch hand atrophy and superficial ulceration of the overlying skin are uncornmonly encountered. They have a steady improvement with time, however various congenital abnormalties, such as varicosities, hen ariomas, hypoplasia or hypertrophy of soft tissue and bones, rarely generalized congenital fibrornatos ectal and genital anomaliies may be associated in approxirnately 50 percent of patients. In case 1, the patient was 45-day-old female infant with reticulated mottling and atrophy of the skin on the right leg. In case 2, the patient was 30-day-old male infant who depressed, bluish, and reticulated patches on the both upprarms, right side trunk, buttock and loen leg. Decreased circumferences of the affected extremities vas observed in case 2. No other assotated anomalies were found in physical and X-ray examinatiorwlin both cases. The skin biiopsy of bothed similar findings, which revealed mild dilatation and proliferation of capillaries, mild inflammatoryel infiltration and extravasated red blood cells in the dermis. The clinical follow-up, alneast all of th lisions disappeared spont.anously in 1 year at case 1, and some of lesions also disappeared in 3 month, 11 case 2. In addition, we reviewed and summerized the reported cases in Korea.

Eccrine carcinoma does not have a characteristic clinical appreranc, but does have a high incidence of metastatic spread. It may arise anywhere in the skin. The microscopic patterns that of an adenocarcinoma, which may be confused with metastatic adenocarcinoma. In the classical type the histologic features varies from fairy well-differentiated tubular structures in some areaslo anaplastic carcinoma in other areas. The patient was a 51-year-old man who showed a painful, tender, right red-calored, 4 x 5crn-sized tumor mass on the right angle of the lower lip for ten years. In the diological examinations multiple metastatic foci were seen on both lung fields, Histopathologic findings of the skin and lung biopsy specimens revealed that of the classic type of eccrine carcinoma like the bove descriptions. Immunocytochemical studies showed a positive reactivity to anti-cytokeratin anti-ibody, anti-CEA antibody, and anti-S-100 protein on the skin and lung biopsy specimens and no he reactivity to anti-S-100 protein on the lung mass. Electronrnicroscopic findings revealed eccrine glaidlar structures such as nunierous mitochondria and dense core granules in the cytoplasm of neoplastic cells. We report a case of eccririe carcinoma with lung metastases baed on the clinical, radiological and histologic findings.

An etiologic agent in seborrheic dermatitis is now considered to be due to Pityrosporum ovale. The connection between the yeast and the disease has been clearly dernonstrated in a number of patients treatd with antifungal agents. However, the fact, that Pityrosporum ovale (Pityrosporum orbiculare) belongs to the normal human cutaneou. flora makes it difficult, to explain the role of the organism in seborrheic dermatitis. In this clinical study, twenty eight subjects were divided into two group by treatment regimen of topical 2% ketoconazole shampoo(TKS)and 0.3% prednisolone valerate solution (PVS). Before and during the four weeks treatment periods, the number of Pityrosporum ovale on the scalp were evaluated by scrub Giemsa staining method, which estimat,ed by score scale, under direct. microscopic examination. Also clinical symptoms including erythema, scales and itching were recorded by scores every week and compared between two treatment group. Topical application of 2% ketoconazole shampoo(TKS) is a very effective treatment regimen to reduce the yeasr cell score(from 5.8+1.3 to 1.8+1.4) than PVS(from 6.4+1.3 to 3.5+1.5), significantly(p<0.05). So the results of this study acconsistent with the view that density of Pityrosgourum ovale plays a role in the cause and course of seborcheic derrnatitis on the scalp. And antifungal agent(TKS) shows favorable effects ori tnis disease clinically and mycologically.

The case of a 56-year-old woman with a keratoacarithoma(KA) of the labial mucosa is herein reported, The tumor was excised and the pathological features were characteristic of a KA, This case is reported because the oral mucosa is such an unexpected location for solitary KA and the labial mucosa of this patient received chronic actinic damage, which suggested an etiological relationship. Follow-up examination of the patient after four months showed no recurrence.

Mycetoma is a clinical syndrome of localized, indolent, deforming, swollen lesions and sinuses, involving cutaneous and subcutaneous tissues, fascia, and bone. Its lesions. are composed of suppurat.ing abscesses, granulomata, and dra ning sinuses and the etiologic agents are wide variety of bacteria (actinomycotic mycetoma) and fungi(eumcotic mycetoma) from plant and soil. The patient was a 65-year-old female and a farnier. She was referred by the skin lesion loalized on the dorsum of her lefther left hand and wrist for three months. It showed multiple subcutaneclis nodules, abscesses, and discharging fitula based on the erythematous plaque. The skin biopsy frorn the lesion revealed the PAS positive hyphae in the granulocytic infiltration. Fungus cult,ure with a piece of tissue on sabouraud media shows hin, floccose, white colonies. Slide culture and biochemical idcrtification of pathogen led to the final diagnosis as Mycetoma caused by Pseudallescheria boydii(Monosporium apiospermum). The lesions disappeared gradualy following systemic oral administratior of Itraconazole 200mg daily for six weeks.

OBJECTIVES: Patients with schizophrenia often have a concrete thinking or an impairment in abstract thinking, but there has been a limitation in quantitatively measuring this cognitive function. The aim of the current study was to investigate a deficit in abstract thinking in patients with schizophrenia using the theme identification task. METHODS: Twenty subjects with schizophrenia and 20 healthy volunteers participated in the behavioral study for theme identification. The visual stimuli were composed of a series of pictures, which contained positive or negative emotional situations. Three words, indicating a main theme of the picture, a theme-related item and a theme-unrelated item, respectively, were presented in the bottom of the pictures, and participants had to select a theme. RESULTS: The patient group selected theme words at significantly lower rate in both emotional conditions than the control group (positive, p=0.002 ; negative, p=0.001). Especially, in the negative condition, the patient group more selected theme-unrelated items than the control group (p=0.001). The rates of theme identification were inversely correlated with scores of the Social Anhedonia Scale (positive, r=-0.440, p=0.007 ; negative, r=-0.366, p=0.028). CONCLUSION: Patients with schizophrenia exhibited an impairment in abstract thinking, and it was remarkable in the negative condition. The ability to think abstractly was associated with the severity of social anhedonia. The impairment of abstract thinking may become one of the reasons for poor social functioning in socially anhedonic patients.

Study of filariasis to determine important factors involved in its ecology was carried out on Che Ju Island for three consecutive years from 1968 to 1970 in seven villages, three coastal villages and four islets remote from the main island. One village which was located in mountainous area far from the coast was surveyed to serve as control area. About 90% of population inhabiting the study area had at least one blood smear during the three-year period; about one third had three blood smears, and a little over one third had two, and the rest only one examination. Animal and mosquito surveys were carried out at the same period. Followings are the results obtained: All human cases but several had microfilariae identical to the description of B. malayi. The several cases who had morphologically different microfilariae from that of B. malayi need further study for definite conclusion. Five persons randomly sampled from Mf positives and bled every two hours demonstrated nocturnal periodicity between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m. Human is considered to be only reservoir host for human filariasis in the area since animal survey and experimental exposure to the infective larvae of human filaria species showed failure to infect animals. Microfilaria rate, microfilaria density, prevalence of elephantiasis varied by area and age with correlation, which indicated cumulative process of the parasite by repeated exposure and development of host immunity to certain extent. Clinical manifestation of filariasis (symptom complex and elephantiasis ) taken from history and inspection was low in its prevalence with range of 0.9% 11.8% of total population. Only 5.2% of 517 Mf positives had the clinical manifestation. 24.8% of 109 persons with clinical manifestation had microfilaria; 42.9% with symptom complex only, 23.1% with both symptoms and elephantiasis, and none with elephantiasis only were microfilaria positive. Ae. togoi was the only species infected with the filaria. Mosquito infection rate by area showed positive correlation to the Mf rate and density of human population; where the Mf rate and density were high, the mosquito infection rate also high.
