1.A Case of Recurrent Urticaria Induced by Tartrazine Present in Antihistamine.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1998;36(4):742-744
Antihistamines are commonly used for the treatment of urticaria. Some antihistamines contain dyes and preservatives which have themselves been shown to produce or exacerbate urticaria. Tartrazine is used predominantly as an additive in food and drugs. To stimulate awareness of this problem, the author reports a case of recurrent urticaria induced by tartrazine in an antihistamine in a 25-year-old male patient. His skin lesions recurred after treatment with oral antihistamine containing tartrazine. The provocation tests with 0.1mg of tartrazine and the antihistamine containing tartrazine induced urticaria within two hours. The provocation tests with aspirin and sodium benzoate were negative.

2.Treatment of Uncomplicated Male Gonococcal Urethritis with Rosoxacin.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1986;24(3):358-363
Between September to October 1985, 61 male patients with uncomplicated genital gonorrhea, including 33 PPNG urethritis, were treated with single oral dose of rosoxaci, a new oral quinolone derivative, 300 mg Fifty-three patients returned for a test of cure 3 5 days after the treatment. When a patient was found to be not cured, a second course of treatment was given and followed as above. The overall failure rate of initial treatment was 11.3%(6/53). It was 15. 2%(5/33) for PPNG urethritis and 5%(1/20) for non-PPNG urethritis. During the course of this trial the rate af PPNG among pretreatment isolates was exceptionally high(62.2g) compared to 277. during the period of 198l~4. If the PPNG prevalance rate had been a little lower, for instance 30g the overall failure rate would have been much lower(4.9%). When the second treatment was given to the failure cases 4-6 days after the first treatment. The overall failure rate dropped to 3.8%, 3.1% for PPNG urethritis and 5.0% for non-PPNG urethritis. Ten patients (2l, 3p,) developed postgoriococcal urethritie. Susceptibility test, with disks containing rosoxacin 5mcg, showed the inhibition zone to be greater than 34mm. Eight patients developed minor side effects: dizziness or gastritis. The rosoxacin, oral dose of 300 mg, regimen gave the best result yet by oral treatment for gonorrheae in recent years in Korea.

3.Two Cases of Childhood Candidal Vulvovaginitis Due to Sexual Abuse.
Korean Journal of Medical Mycology 1999;4(1):60-62
In order to emphasize the possibility of acquiring childhood candidal vulvovaginitis by sexual abuse, we report two cases of childhood candidal vulvovaginitis due to sexual abuse. The case 1 was a 6-year-old girl and the other case was a 7-year old girl. In these cases, the vulvas and vaginal walls were erythematous, edematous, pruritic and eroded. The diagnoses were confirmed by clinical picture and the 10% KOH preparation of vaginal discharge. The treatment of these patients were done by oral itraconazole for 1 week with successful results.

A case of benign lichenoid keratosis(BLK) developed in a 25-year-old female is presented. She had two erythematous plaques with slightly verrucous surfaces on the lips for 4 weeks. A biopsy specirnen taken from the periphery of the lesion revealed a focal parakeratosis, the absence of granular cells, and hydropic degeneration of the basal cells in the epidermis. The upper dermal infiltrate composed chiefly of lymphacytes intermingled with a few histiocytes was also seen. The direct immunofluorescent study showed depositions of a few cytoid bodies and fibrin around the areas of the dermoepidermal junction. These plaques on her lips, demonstrating lichenoid tissue changes, cleared in 8 weeks from the evalution, without any treatment.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of polycystic ovarian follicular fluid on sperm motility in human in vitro fertilization (IVF). METHODS: From May, 1998 to July, 1999, 55 patients who complained of infertility were involved in this study. We obtained ovarian follicular fluids form the patients by ultrasono-guided aspiration. Subjects were divided into two groups. 20 patients who had polycystic ovarian disease were belong to study group, and 25 patients who had normal ovarian follicular fluid were belong to control group. The follicular fluid dilution was done with Ham's fluid as 10%, 20%, 50%, 100%. The sperm motility was analyzed by CASA at 6hr and 12hr after incubation in follicular fluids. RESULTS: The levels of average path velocity (VAP) in all concentration fluid didn't show significant difference between study and control group. The other parameters including curvilinear velocity (VCL), amplitude of lateral head displacement (ALH), and linerity (LIN) were didn't show any significant difference between both groups. CONCLUSION: PCOD fluid had seemed to have an adverse effect on the sperm biological function. But, this study showed that PCOD fluid had no different effect on sperm motility with normal follicular fluid.

The aim of present study was to determine the efficacy of immunotherapy with paternal lymphocytes for unexplained infertility. It has been apparent that reproductive success may be affected by the presence of abnormal autoantibodies. Unexplained infertility and repeated pregnancy wastage has been reported in the presence of abnormal autoantibodies. These data suffest that abnormal immune function may be an important pathologic entity contributing subfertility in patients with unexplained infertility. Therefore, immunotherapy may be a possible treatment modality for patients with unexplained infertility. Some investigators have reported that a proportion of infertile couples with repeatedly unsuccessful ET showed close histocompatibility similar to those of spontaneous recurrent abortion. Recently, it has been noted that immunotherapy with paternal lymphocytes achieves a high efficacy in preventing subsequent abortion in women with primary recurrent abortion of unknown cause, which was mediated by immune reaction including blocking antibody. To substantiate the hypothesis, we applied immunotherapy preceding Peritoneal Oocyte and Sperme transfer (POST) to 43 patients, 47 cycles of 82 patients, 89 cycles with at least three previous IUI failure from April, 1993 to February, 1995. There were no significant differences between treatment and control group in clinical response and hormonal response to controlled hyperstimulation. there was no significant difference between treatment and control group in pregnant rates per cycles (42.6% versus 28.6%), but a significantly lower abortion rate per pregnancy in treatment group, with 10.0% (2/20) compared with 50.03% (6/12) in control group. This study may suggest that immune therapy for patients with unexplained infertility with paternal lymphocytes might be beneficial.
