Propyl gallste and other gallic acid esters are used as antioxidants in lipsticks, lip balms and salves, cosmetic creams and lotions, bakery products, edible fats and other pharmaceutical and industrial products. Propyl gallate is used widely but allergic contact dermatits from propyl gallate is rare. A 44-year-old female patient had pruritic multiple tiny erythematous papules and vesicles on the margin of her lip for a week. We found that the causative material of the allergic contact cheilitis was propyl gallate. We proved it with a patch test, provocation use test and quantitative and qualitative analysis of the lipstick. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of lipstick allergic contact cheilitis from propyl gallate in Korean literature.

Produced in large-scale since the 1950s, epoxy resins have been used diversely, and new uses are continuing to be found and developed so that the accompanying risks of dermatitis have been spread to new industries such as construction and road building. Epoxy resin, irritants and allergens, cause both direct and airborne contact dermatitis, and occupational dermatitis, This was observed shortly after they were introduced. We report a case of airborne allergic contact dermatitis by an epoxy resin in an antiskid-surfacing worker. A 46-year-old Korean male presented with symmetrical eczematous lesions on exposed areas. A Patch test revealed positive reactions to epoxy resin 1% and their own material, and the symptoms cleared when he changed work environments.

In two patients with chronic corneal ulcer, resistant to conventional therapy, analysis of tear fluid and observation of the corneal state were performed before and after treatment using autologous fibronectin and aprotinin for the purpose of estimating the effect of treatment. The plasmin activity which was revealed before treatment was absent after treatment, and corneal reepithelialization was observed after treatment. We think the combined therapy with autologous fibronectin and aprotinin may be effective for the treatment of therapy-resistant chronic corneal ulcer.

There have been many studies regarding the relationship between long-term use of bisphosphonate and atypical femoral fractures in the literature. However, studies regarding atypical fractures of the upper limbs are severely limited, especially in Korea. Here, we report an atypical fracture of the ulna in a patient with bisphosphonate medication for a relatively short period of 3 years without any history of fractures at other sites.
