Korean Journal of Dermatology 1982;20(6):859-866
This study was attempted mainly to estimate the frequency of ichthyoses and its genetic characteristics among general population in Chonnam Province. One hundredand thirtyone subjects heing comprised of 121 with ichthyosis vulgaris, 6 with X-linked recessive ichthyosis and 4 with lamellar ichthyosis visited the department of Dermatology, Chonnam National University Hospital from 1971 through 1980. All except 7 patients had visited the hospital with chief complaints of a skin problem other than ichthyoses itself. The frequency of ichthyosis vulgaris seems to be somewhere between, 1/300 and 1/400. 86% were found to either be sporadic cases or come from families from which not enough information was obtained to define a mode of inheritance. The fact that 43% of the sibling of affected patients developed ichthyosis vulgaris points out that it is a highly penetrant autosomal dominant, disease. Skipped generation was observed in 2 families, and gonadal mosaicism in 1 family. Atopic diseaaes were found only in 12.0% of cnses of ichthyosis vulgaris. The disease appeared in 81% of cases before 1 year af age. The skin lesions of ichthyoses were developed on the lower limhs, back, upper limbs, abdomen and scalp in the order of frequency.

Following the Korean War, the presence of foreign troops in Korea and lowered. sexual morality caused an increase in the rate of prostitution and related venereal diseases. Though the health authorities made efforts to handle these problems, they didnt obtain any noticeable results, because they neglected the scientific prevention and treatment based on expert knowledge, and the sociopsychological problem, which was the basic cause of the increment in the rate of prostitution. They only took administrative action against the prostitutes. Therefore, in July, 1976, we went to a town(named Silver Town) located on the outskirts of a U.S. Air Force base, and, examined and guestioned a number of prostitutes. Each of the 288 subjects residing in the town was given a questionaire that dealt with individual living attitudes, family and social background, and sociopsychological aspects of tbeir lifestyle. Questionaires were completed anonymously. Serological tests for syphilis, the UDRL and TPHA, were also administered. The results of our atudy are as follows. 1) Most of the prostitutes had grown up in large families, in which females were predominant. Because of economic difficulties they dropped out of school a.t an early age and became prostitutes. The average age of a prostitute at the time of her first sexual experience was 19. 9 years, the expriences usually taking place with her first boyfriend. Forty six psrcent of tbe subjects had intercourse for the first time between the ages of 15 and 19. Fortynine & two tenths percent of them because prostitutes within one year of their initial sexual act, and all of them at an average interval of 2.5 years following the first sexual experience, the average age being 22. 4 years. 2) The longer the women had worked as prostitutes, the more they felt dissatisfied with their work, and the more they desired to change to an occupation which was healthier and entailed more self-respect. 3) Out of 283 subjects, 39% had a history of venereal disease, predominantly of gonorrhea. Tbe results of the STS administered to all subjects were,; VDRL 7.7% positive and TPHA 6% positive. It was also concluded that the subjects had no educational or working knowledge of venereal diseases.

OBJECTIVES: The long-term outpatient group psychotherapy with the chronically ill is an effective, expedient therapeutic modality that makes patients maintain medication and improve their symptoms, helps patients resolve emotional conflict, and corrects their maladaptive interpersonal relationship. Therefore, we performed weekly the semi-opened, heterogeneous, long-term(open-ended), outpatient group psychotherapy to be applicable effectively for the chronically ill. The objectives of this study are as follows; first, we introduce therapeutic principles and management methods of the group psychotherapy to be applicable in the clinical environment with the chronically ill; second, we examine the therapeutic factors in each group development stage which are helped by participants, and analyze the characteristics showed in the process of study; third, we verify the appropriateness and the validity of this group psychotherapy and then establish the base of the effective long-term outpatient therapy for the chronically ill that will be settled down as a applicable treatment modality economically and efficiently in the present medical environment of Korea. METHODS: This study was performed in the subject of the chronically ill who attended at the day care program of Community Mental Health Center in Hanam city from January 1998 to June 1999. The participants were 27 patients, but we dropped 7 patients who attended under 6 months because of long-term group. So the last subjects were 20 patients (12 males and 8 females) who attended for 18 months. The 13 therapeutic factors scale was filled out by participants just after each session and the self-report total assessment questionnaire was performed at the time of study-termination and patient-termiation. RESULTS: The ranks of 13 therapeutic factors scale are as follows: in the forming stage, the upper ranks of therapeutic factors were existential factor, guidance of therapists, instillation of hope, altruism, and catharsis in order. And in the storming stage, the upper ranks of therapeutic factors were existential factor, instillation of hope, guidance of therapists, catharsis, and group cohesiveness in order. Lastly in the norming stage, the upper ranks of therapeutic factors were existential factor, altruism, corrective recapitulation, interpersonal learning, and catharsis in order. According to the total assessment questionnaire about group psychotherapy reported by the participants 90% of them were helped, 80% of them had an idea to recommend this program to other patients actively, and 75% of them had an opinion to attend again this program if given for them. And they evaluated positively about the structure of this program and the therapist. CONCLUSIONS: The long-term outpatient group psychotherapy would be applicable effectively to the chronically ill as a economic, efficient therapeutic modality for rehabilitation. It is much more effective for therapist to perceive in detail the therapeutic factors in each group develop-ment stage when he perfoms the group psychotherapy.

As the incidence of acute myocardial infarction been increasing with prolongation of life spans, improvement in foods and life styles in Korea, rapid diagnosis and treatment is critical in survival of acute myocardial infarction patient. Most of the acute myocardial infarction result from atherosclerotic plaque forming thrombus and occlusion of coronary artery. Because early thrombolytic therapy is important to maintain the left ventricular function and survival rate, there have been many trials to reperfuse the occluded coronary artery. We have studied the many aspects of acute myocardial infarction such as sex, age, infarction site, chief complaints, change of ECG, change of serum enzyme, time delay on emergency room arrival, and compared the effectiveness of thrombolytic therapy. Total number of patient was 212, and males were 141(66.5%) and females were 71(33.5%). The most common infarction site was ant, fuel wall(102 cases,48%)of the heart and the most common chief complaint was chest pain(204 cases,97%). Among the 106 patients who received thrombolytic therapy, 101 patients(95%) had survived and 5 patients(5%) had died. Among the 64 patients who didn't receive thrombolytic therapy, 56 patients (87.5%) were alived and 8 patients(12.5%) were dead.
