1.A case of multiple trichoepithelioma.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1993;31(2):272-275
Multiple trichoepithelioma is an uncommon skin disease with autosomal dominant transmission. A 21-year-old female ahd asymptomatic, flesh-colored, firm papules and nodules on the face, chest and back. Histopathologic examination showed multiple horn cysts and tumor islands composed of basaloid cells.

2.A case of nodular amyloidosis.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1993;31(2):241-244
Localized primary cuteneous nodular amyloidosis is the rarest form of the cutaneous amyloidosis, which appears as single or multiple nodules on the extremities, trunk, genitalia or face. A 44-Year-old woman had asymptomatic, translucent brown to pink papules and nodules on the toes for 5 years. Histopathologic exarnination showed deposition to pale, eosinophilic, amorphous material throughout the dermis, Under the electron microscope, the material consisted of straight, nonbranching, nonanastoimosing filaments. We thus made the diagnosis of nodular amyoidosis.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a hereditary disorder characterized by renal cyst formation, hypertension, and end-stage renal disease. For many years, ADPKD was considered an adult disease. In fact, it may occur at any time in life including in utero. We experienced a case of ADPKD at 34 weeks of gestation. On ultrasound, both kidnies were enlarged and echogenic. Amniotic fluid index was normal. We discovered a family history of paternal origin. Sonographic findings of bilaterally enlarged and echogenic kidnies without oligohydroamniosis may suggest ADPKD. Renal ultrasound examination of parents is useful in the diagnosis of ADPKD.

BACKGROUND: It is well known that neuronal degeneration can occur after a brief deprivation of energy source. To investigate whether glial astrocyte can induce a phenomenon of delayed cell death after transient energy loss and to see how different are the effects of nifedipine, lidocaine, carnosine and hypothermia on delayed toxicity in astrocyte. METHODS: Human astrocytoma cells (U1242MG) were used in this study. To assess the astrocyte survival during post-ischemic period after transient histotoxic hypoxia, 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2yl]-2,5, diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) test was used. Compared to MTT test, tryphan blue test was also used to demonstrate membrane damage of affected cells. Studies on intracellular calcium dynamics during ischemic and post-ischemic period were carried out with fluo-3 and flow cytometry system. RESULTS: The percentage survival of astrocyte during post-ischemic period was decreasing with time. Calcium channel blocker nifedipine, sodium and calcium channel blocker lidocaine and free radical scavenger carnosine could not prevent post-ischemic cell damage. But, hypothermia was only an effective method in ameliorating post-ischemic cell death. Intracellular calcium increase during ischemia and post-ischemia was dependent on extracellular calcium influx. CONCLUSIONS: Only hypothermia was effective in reducing astrocyte death during post-ischemia after transient energy depletion. Intracellular calcium alterations during post-ischemia was from extracellular space.

8.The Changes in Degree of Fatigue and Salivary Cortisol with the Elapse of Chemotherapy in Breast Cancer Patients.
Journal of Korean Academy of Adult Nursing 1999;11(3):449-463
The purpose of this study was to develop the basis of scientific nursing intervention by examining the changes of stress level with elapse of post chemotherapy in breast cancer patients. The design of this study was a longitudinal descriptive study. The subjects of this study was patients receiving chemotherapy from March 1, 1998 to June 30, 1998 at K university hospital in Taegu. The number of subjects was 14 and they were given treatment every 21 days, a cycle of chemotherapy. The changes of their stress with the elapse of chemotherapy were examined every other day. The changes of stress reaction were measured by fatigue and salivary cortisol level. The instrument used to measure fatigue was the revised Pipe Fatigue Scale which was developed by Piper(1984). The reliability of this instrument was Cronbach's alpha .997. The Salivary cortisol was meausured to examine the stress physiological reaction, analyzed using radioimmunoassay. Data was analyzed by computer using the SPSS WIN 7.0 program. Frequency, and Wilcoxon Singned Ranks test were used to examine the changes in degree of fatigue and salivary cortisol with the elapse of chemotherapy. The relationship between fatigue and salivary cortisol was examined using Spearman's rho. The results of this study were as follows: 1) The degree of fatigue was increased a little on the third day 5.64( +/- 1.86)(z=-1.85, p=.06) compared with that of fatigue on the basic day. After that, the degree of fatigue was continuously decreased. it had tendancy to increase a little as patients visited the clinic for next chemotherapy. 2) The mean of salivary cortisol concentration was the higest shortly before chemotherapy. 3) The relationship of fatigue and salivary cortisol was r= .4(p=.098). To sum up, the degree of fatigue was the highest on the third day and salvary cortisol was the highest shortly before chemotherapy. Because the stress reaction of cancer patient receiving chemotherapy was the higest within 3 days in one cycle, it will be effective to provide specified nursing interventions to reduce stress within 3 days after chemotherapy.

An analysis of echocardiograms was made in 50 patients with pericardial effusion of various origins, diagnosed by clinical and M-mode echocardiographic examinations. In these cases the estimated volume of pericardial effusion ranged between 40 ml and 999 ml. The width of echo-free space behind the left ventricular wall which reflect the amount of effusion showed a significant positive correlation with the systolic excursion and the diastolic mean velocity of both right and left ventricular epicardial surfaces. The echocardiographic patterns of so-called pseudo-mitral valve prolapse and a notch on the right ventricular epicardial surface during systole were found more frequently in patients with large pericardial effusion. Thus, in pericardial effusion, and echocardiographic examination is useful for the visualization of the abnormal motions of cardiac structures as well as for its diagnosis.

We report a patient with a cutis laxa-like, generalized PXE without systemic involvement. A 28-year-old woman had loose, pendulous skin of the neck, axillae, thighs, trunk and body folds which resulted in a prematurely aged appearance. She had no family history of related diseases. Histological examination showed considerable accumulations of swollen and irregularly clumped fibers in the middle and lower dermis and von Kossa s stain revealed calcium deposits along the altered elastic fibers.
