From Feb. 1987 to Feb. 1988, 93 cases of the Q-switched Nd : Yag laser posterior capsulotomy by using of choherent Model 7900 were carried out and 80 cases(76 patients)had been followed up for more than 2 months. The results were as follows: 1. 72 aphakic eyes and 8 pseudophakic eyes(12 traumatic cataract and 11 congenital cataract and 57 adult and senile cataract) were followed. 2. Postoperative visual acuity of 0.7 or better was achieved in 54 eyes(67.5%) and 1.0 or better in 32 eyes(40%). 3. Complications were transient increased IOP 17 eyes(21.2%) and Vitreous pro lapses with anterior hyaloid rupture 15 eyes (18.7%) and anterior uveitis 2 eyes(2.5%) and cystoid macular edema 1 eyes(1.2%) and corneal edema 1 eyes(1.2%) but most cases were without permanent damages.

Exfoliative dermatitis is characterized by a universal or very extensive obstinate scaling and itching erythroderma. Although the clinical picture is similar in most patients, there are many etiologic factors in exfoliative dermatitis. We report a case of exfoliative dermatitis developed in a 22-year-old male patient who had been taking oral minocycline (100 mg twice daily) for 5 weeks for acne.

Intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1) is a cell-adhesion molecule that is constitutively expressed on human dermal microvascular endothelial cells and is inducible on human keratinocytes. We studied to compare the effects of Trichophyton antigen, glycerine, and recombinant IFN-gamma on the ICAM-1 expression on preimmune state keratinocytes. The 3x104 HaCaT cells/ml in 96 well microculture plates were cultured with Trichophyton antigen, glycerin, and IFN-gamma respectively. On culturing with Trichophyton antigen, ICAM-1 expression of HaCaT cells did not show significantly increased findings compared with control(P>0.05). On each group cultured with IFN-gamma and glycerin, ICAM-1 expression of HaCaT cells increased significantly compared with control(P<0.05). These results suggest that Trichophyton antigen does not sufficiently stimulate the expression of ICAM-1 of preimmune state keratinocytes without immunized T lymphocytes.

To evaluate the efficacy and immediate complications of Q-switched Nd:YAG laser iridotomy in the treatment of angle closure glaucoma, Q-switched Nd:YAG laser iridotomy using coherent model 7900(U.S.A.)was performed on 50 eyes, 43 patients with angle closure glaucoma between Feb. 1987 and Mar. 1988. Forty-six eyes of Thirty-nine Patients had been followed up {or more than 2 months. Four eyes were lost to follow-up. Among 50 treated eyes, 46 required a single laser session for patency and four eyes required two sessions. Intraocular pressure was significantly decreased after Q-switched Nd: YAG laser iridotomy and the continuous use of previous glaucoma medications as necessary(p<0.01). Immediate postoperative intraocular pressure elevation was seen in two Nd:YAG-treated eyes. Thirty-five eyes treated with the Nd:YAG laser had minimal bleeding from the iridotomy site. Forty-four Nd:YAG-treated eyes had transient iritis.

The association of classic Kaposi's sarcoma with other neoplasm(primary or secondary) may serve as a clinical indicator for altered immunologic surveillance mechanisms. The association have been discussed for several decades. But the association of Kaposi's sarcoma with pancreatic cancer has not been reported. We report a case of Kaposi's sarcoma associated with pancreatic cancer in a 79-year-old man, who had tender papules and plaques on the left hand. The histopathologic findings showed typical features of Kaposi's sarcoma as a dermal tumor composed of vascular proliferations, vascular slits, spindle cells, extravasated erythrocytes and deposits of hemosiderin.

Porokeratotic eccrine ostial and dermal duct nevus is considered to be a rare congenital harmatoma derived from eccrine duct. It is not associated with other congenital anomalies, though the cooccurence with linear psoriasis has been noted. We report the case of a 38-year-old woman with congenital porokeratotic eccrine ostial and dermal duct nevus associated with milia. She had asymptomatic multiple keratotic papules with keratotic plugs on the right foot.

The skin functions to eliminate foreign substances through the epidermis to epidermal surface; this process is called transepidermal elimination(TEE). TEE has been observed in various skin tumors. A 71-year-old woman presented with a well-circumscribed, red-brownish, subcutaneous nodule, 1.3x1.0 cm in size, located on the left thigh. The histopathologic finding of the lesion shows trichilemmal cyst with transepidermal elimination.
