We present a case of eccrine spiradenoma occurring on the trunk in a 33 year old woman. She developed a pea sized, pinkish tender nodule on the anterior chest 8 years ago. On histologic examination, there were several lobules surrounded by thin connective tissue septa in dermis. The lobules themselves consisted of small dark staining cells and large pale-staining cells, forming solid cords or ducts.

Nineteen patients (twenty knees) with degenerative arthritis of knee treated by arthroscopic curettage were reviewed. Of the nineteen patients, there were eighteen females and one male ranging in age from 49 to 68 years (mean, 57 years). The mean follow up period was 18.2 months (range, 12 months to 21 months). Simple standing roentgenorgram and 99m-Tc bone scintigraphy were used to select the patients with medial compartment involvement only, less than 5 degree of varus deformity and sparing of patello-femoral joint. Knee scoring by Hospital for Special Surgery Formula showed improvement from the preoperative average 68 points to postoperative average 89.6 points (21.6 points increase) and 84.1 points (16.1 points increase) at 6 months and one year respectively. Arthroscopic curettage of knee, if done early in degenerative arthritis, not only can shorten hospital days and immobilization period but also can defer other major surgical treatments by promoting natural healing process and symptomatic relief.

During tumor progression, a subset of cells acquires metastatic properties, presumably through a series of genetic alterations. As the result, cells detach from the primary tumor, penetrate the basement membrane and invade the adjacent structures including lymph and blood vessels. Loss of adhesive functions and gain of new adhesive functions are thought to play a crucial role in this metastatic cascade. Since tumor metastasis is the principle cause of death for cancer patients including colon cancer, there is a consensus that a search for tools that allow effective assessment of the metastatic potential of tumors is a prime goal for cancer research. An immunohistochemical study of cell adhesion molecules, CD44H and its variant CD44v6, was done to evaluate their relationship with known prognostic factors related to the progression and metastasis of colorectal carcinoma in 94 cases of colorectal carcinoma tissues. The results were as follows. The CD44H expression was detected in 90 (95.7%) and CD44v6 in 53 (56.4%) out of 94 cases of colorectal carcinoma, and the CD44H was overexpressed in tumor tissue more than in normal mucosa in 62% of the cases. The expression rates of both protein were not significantly correlated with age and sex of the patients, invasion depth, lymph node metastasis, tumor differentiation, and tumor site. The coexpression of CD44H and CD44v6 in tumor was significant (p<0.05). The above results suggest that overexpression of CD44H and loss of function to control the alternative splicing of CD44 mRNA resulting in CD44v6 expression and alteration of adhesive function are closely associated with tumorigenesis of the colorectum.

5.Predictors of Treatment Response with Risperidone in Schizophrenia.
Korean Journal of Psychopharmacology 2000;11(1):57-66
OBJECTIVES: In double-blind controlled studies with schizophrenic patients, risperidone was demonstrated to have an efficacy comparable to haloperidol and to have a lower incidence of extrapyramidal side effects. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of risperidone in the treatment of schizophrenia and to identify clinical factors associated with risperidone response under naturalistic clinical setting. METHODS: By retrospective chart review, we assessed response to risperidone and factors associated with response to resperidone in 62 consecutive DSM-IV schizophrenic patients treated with the drug at the Department of Psychiatry, Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center. We divided the 62 patients into two groups, responders and non-responders, by responsiveness to resperidone according to a four-point scale used in previous studies; responders included moderate to marked responded patients and non-responders included none to minimal responded patients. RESULTS: Among the total patients of 62, 31(50%) were categorized as responders. In comparing responders(N=31) with non-responders, there were no differences between the two groups in sex, age, education, age at first onset, duration of illness, number of admissions, and family history, but the patients who were married and had the paranoid-typed symptoms were significantly more frequent in responders. There were no significant differences in dose of risperidone and frequency of extrapyramidal side effects between the two groups. Antipsychotic-naive patients were significantly more frequent in responders(p=0.009). CONCLUSION: These results suggest that marital status and paranoid type of schizophrenic symptoms may be useful as the clinical predictors associated with risperidone response in schizophrenic patients, and that risperidone is an appropriate first-line antipsychotic agent in antipsychotic-naive schizophrenic patients.

Angiosarcoma is a rare malignant vascular tumor of endothelial cell origin. Most lesions of cutaneous angiosarcoma occur over the face and scalp. We experienced a case of angiosarcoma of the scalp in a 63-year-old man. Multiple pea-sized erythematous papules and nodules developed on the forehead 6 months ago. Thereafter, the lesions have extended to make violaceous, compressible and hemorrhagic plaques. On histologic examination, there were irregular, often anastomosing vascular channels lined by the atypical endothelial cells in the dermis.

A case of contact dermatitis due to herb onintment is described in a 24 year-old female patient. After topical application of herb ointment, she developed erythematous papules and plaques on the face and neck. Patch test revealed positive reactions to ammoniated mercury, thimerosal, and the herb ointment. Energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis of the herb ointment showed a striking peak for mercury.
