Although we made a comparision of fingertip dermatoglyphic patterns between R7 patients with atopic dermatitis(Femals: 54, Male: 35) and 73 their families without atopic dermatitis, no significant results were obtained. So, we compared secondly our results of 2 groups with those of two thousand nonatopic, normal Koreans, as control. Results are as follows: ] In comparison with control, a significant increase in the ulnar loop pattern was detected in families(p<0, ()5), not atopic dermatitis. p. No significant differ ence between right hands and left hands in all three g f OUpS. In atopic dermatitis and control groups, 1 st and 4 th digits showed mostly whorl pattern, and 3 rd and 5 th digits had more ulnar loop pattern than others. Rut families had mostly ulnar loop pattern at all digits except 4 th digit, wl..orl pattern. 4. Each of atopic dermatitis, family and control group had 13, 79% (whor1: 8. 05% ulnar loop: 5 75%), 15. 49p; (whorl: 4. 23%, ulnar loop: 11. 27%), 15. 78%(whorl: 8, 52% ulnar loop: 7. 1 %, arch: 0. 05%), of same dermatoglyphic pattern on all ten digits. Especially, ulnar loop pattern in fanilies was detected significantly higher than other two groups(p<0. 05). Average incidences of bilateral symmetry of pattern type between right and left digits were 78.57%, 74. 67% and 78.74% respectively in atopic dermatitis, family and control group.

A 25-year-old female was seen because of rnultiple, asymptornatic papular eruptions on the vulvar area since 1 year ago. She had been suffered from palmar hyperhidrosis for 3 years. A skin biopsy specimen from the vulval lesion revealed characteristic findings of syringoma.

A 72 years old man had an 1 x 1cm sized, solitary glomus tumor on the right knee joint and had suffered from sharp, episodic pain and tenderness, radiating to the right thigh and the buttock for about 20 years. Simple surgical excision was performed for removal of the tumor mass and the subjective symtoms. There is no recurrence until now.

We report one case of hair follicle nevus, benign highly differentiating appendageal skin tumor of hair follicle. It arises from pluripotential cells that have formed during life. This patient is a 40-year-old woman who had a localized brownish plaque on the leht cheek for three years. Histologic study revealed many small but mostly mature hair follicles consistent with hair follicle nevus.A Case of Cutaneous Periarteritis Nodosa

A survey on the prevalence of intestinal parasites was performed during the period from April to June of 1969, to evaluate the present status of parasitic infections in ROK Army soldiers. Stool specimens of 1,0l2 soldiers were collected from a camp located in Won-Ju area, and examined by the method of formalin-ether sedimentation technique. For protozoan cysts, examined slide was stained with Lugol's iodine solution and for eggs of Enterobius, the Graham's scotch cellulose tape anal swab technique was applied. The results obtained in this survey were as follows: Of the 1,012 soldiers examined, 95.0 percent were found infected by one or more intestinal parasites and 28.7 percent were found positive for protozoan cysts. The positive rates of each parasites were; A. lumbricoides 61.0 percent, T. trichiurus 73.4 percent, hookworm 17.5 percent, T. orientalis 9.5 percent, E. vermicularis 0.1 percent (from stool specimen), C. sinensis 8.8 percent, M. yokogawai 1.1 percent, Taenia sp. 1.0 percent (from stool), H. nana 0.3 percent and E. histolytica 7.4 percent. E. coli 12.6 percent, E. nana 5.9 percent, I. buetchlii 0.7 pecent, G. lamblia 6.1 percent, and C. mesnili 0.8 percent. From the anal swabs, eggs of Enterobius were recovered in 2.6 percent, and eggs of Taenia sp. showed positive rate of 1.5 percent.

According to literatures, the different types of fractures can occur as a result of arm wrestling ; Spiral fracture of the humeral shaft associating often with a bntterfly fragment, fracture of medial epicondyle of the humerus, and the marginal radial head fracture with anterior dislocation. The last type is very rarely reported. In addition to the fracture occurrence, other injuries such as muscular strain of the arm, and sprain or luxation of the shoulder, elbow and wrist joints can be taken place. However, it is thought that the most of those injuries by arm wrestling have been treated simply by general practioners unreported. The arouse the attention of the jury of the game, wrestlers and the surgenons, the cases of bony injuries sustained during the arm-wrestling are reported. Thirteen patients were treated by us since 1977. Among them, five cases had fractures of the humeral shaft, and eight cases had fractures of medial epicondyle of the humerus. Among the five shaft fractures, three were treated by conservatively, and two by operatively. Among 8 avulsion fractures of the medial epicondyle only two were treated conservatively, and 6 operatively. One patient sustained the medial epicondylar avulsion fracture twice for which K-wire fixation treatment was done. The results of treatment were all satisfactory. However, because of the possibility of wrestlers sustaining such injuries. Arm wrestling should not be considered a totally benign sport.
