Allergic contact dermatitis from aroma oils has long been recognized and with increasing frequency. Contact dermatitis of the allergic type of fragrances used for aromatherapy has been reported rarely, and only in patients exposed due to their occupation. We report herein a case of allergic contact dermatitis to aroma oils in an aroma therapist. A 25-year-old woman, an aroma therapist, had been treated with topical steroids under the impression of contact dermatitis. She had had pruritic erythematous maculopapules on the arms extending to the hands for the previous 6 months. Patch tests showed strong reactions to aroma oils(3% fennel and 3% juniper). The skin lesions were cleared after she stopped her job. However, re-exposure to aroma oils caused eczematous lesions repeatedly at the sites previously involved. We predict that increasing popularity of aromatherapy will lead to increasing number of patients developing allergic contact dermatitis from aroma oils. This has to be taken into consideration when testing patients with suspected contact dermatitis.

BACKGROUND: Peripheral blood stem cell transplantation in children has some difficulties compared with adult cases. Despite the children's total blood volume is small, they have a relatively higher volume of blood per weight than adults. Also, it is hard for the children to maintain 2 central vein during leukapheresis to shorten the time consumed. We compared the artery-harvest and central vein-harvested group for possible risk and stem cell yield in pediatric patients with malignancies. METHODS: From August, 1995 to January, 1997, 21 leukapheresis was performed by 7 patients. The patients who could have 2 central veins for leukapheresis were included in vein-harvested group and the patients who could have only 1 central vein were included in artery-harvested group. The peripheral vein was not used for leukapheresis. COBE Spectra(COBEBCT, Lakewood, CO) was used and priming was done by packed RBCs in patients weighing less than 20kg. Stem cell yield was assessed by MNC, CD34+, CFU-GM, respectively. During leukapheresis, the patients were closely monitored for change in vital sign, evidence for thrombosis, bleeding, hypocalcemia, etc. RESULTS: There was no serious complication in each group of patients. After the leukapheresis, WBC and platelet count decreased but Hb level was increased due to reinfusion of primed packed RBCs. Average flow rate was higher in vein-harvested group but there was no difference in time consumed and results in stem cell assay. CONCLUSION: Peripheral stem cell harvest in children by radial artery can be performed safely and easily without an increased risk or complication. In younger children, it is possible to achieve even more higher stem cell yield. If the patient is unable to maintain 2 central vein for leukapheresis, transient radial arterial catheterization is a safe and convenient method.

BACKGROUND: Though implant dentistry is very successful and predictable in treatment of patients with destroyed dentition, there are some cases with limitations to implant therapy. In these cases, alternative treatment modality should be considered. CASE DESCRIPTION: A patient with destroyed dentition was rehabilitated with a lateral rotational path removable partial denture. According to the diagnosis, we determined to raise vertical dimension for esthetic and functional restoration. The final restoration was performed after four months of provisional period. CLINICAL IMPLICATION: The edentulous patients with compromised esthetics and functions can be successfully treated with a rotational path removable partial denture through adequate treatment planning and precise laboratory procedure.

Torsades de pointes, a polymorphic ventricular tachycardia associated with prolonged QT interval, is a well-known life-threatening arrhythmia, which has been found to be induced by various causes such as drugs, electrolyte imbalances, and severe bradycardia. Cisapride is a gastrointestinal prokinetic drug, which is widely used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease or other functional gastrointestinal disorders. Cisapride can cause torsades de pointes and cases of torsedes de pointes induced by cisapride have been reported in other countries. Cases of torsades de pointes associated with antihistamine drugs have been reported in Korea, however, cisapride-induced torsades de pointes case has not been reported. We report a case of 31 year-old female patient who experienced repeated loss of consciousness due to cisapride-induced torsades de pointes.

Fifty percents of patient with achondroplasia present neurological disturbances of varying degree. Congenital narrowing of the spinal canal in achondroplastics seems to be the main cause of the cord disturbance, and there are several other causes such as prolapse of intervertebral discs, spondyloarthitic degenerative manifestations and wedging of vertebral body. Surgical treatment of the cord disturbance consist of anterior decompression with fusion and posterior decompression. We experienced L1-2 disc herniation in achondroplasia with rapid progression of neurologic symptoms and treated with posterior decompression. Two years after operation, the patient had good result.
