Levocabastine, a selective H1-receptor antagonist, has been evaluated in the management of allergic conjunctivitis and its efficacy was compared between the skin test positive and negative groups. A total of 20 patients who was clinically diagnosed as allergic conjunctivitis were processed for the skin test. According to the results of skin test, patients were divided into two groups; skin test positive (15) and negative (5). Livostin(levocabastine 0.5mg/ml) eye drops were topically instilled 2 times per day for 1 week. Both subjective and objective findings were assessed by a 4-point scase (0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe). The parameters used for the examination of drug effectiveness were itching, tearing, chemosis, lid swelling and injection. 85.5% (17 put of 20) of the patients showed effects on the management of their symptoms and signs. No significant difference was observed in its effectiveness between skin test positive and negative groups. The results of present clinical trials suggest that Livostin eye drops may be an attractive therapeutic option for the management of allergic conjunctivitis.

BACKGROUND: Eccrine angiomatous hamartoma (EAH) is a rare benign nodular lesion characterized by the proliferation of eccrine and vascular structures, generally capillaries, in the middle and deep dermis. It may be congenital or appear later in childhood, but rarely arises in adulthood. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinicopathologic features of EAH in Korean patients. METHODS: Ten cases of EAH diagnosed at Ajou University Hospital and Gangnam Severance Hospital in Korea from 2007 to 2010 were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS: The age range of patients was between 5 and 66 years with an equal number of male and female patients. Apart from two congenital cases, the onset was late, ranging from 6 months to 65 years of age. All lesions were solitary and located on the distal extremities. Nine cases appeared as a yellow-brown nodule or plaque resembling a callus. Neither hyperhidrosis nor hypertrichosis was documented. Apart from the typical histological findings of EAH, prominent mucin deposition, fat component and nerve infiltration were observed. CONCLUSION: This is one of the largest single case series of EAH in the literature. Clinically, resemblance to callosities and the frequent occurrence in the adulthood were the unique features in our series.

Pigmented Spitz nevus is a benign melanocytic skin lesion with distinct clinical features and it is frequently found on the extremities. However, it rarely occurs on acral area of the body, and such a case has not yet been fully documented. We present a case of acral pigmented Spitz nevus occurring on the foot, and this mimicked acral lentiginous malignant melanoma. Clinicians should be well aware of this entity and its possible clinical presentations. Since acral pigmented Spitz nevus is benign in nature, making the correct diagnosis is important to avoid unnecessary mutilating or excessive surgery.

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a dermal spindle cell neoplasm of intermediate malignancy. It typically forms a brown indurated plaque on which firm nodules subsequently arise, sometimes with ulceration. Atypical DFSP presentations are not unusual, including atrophic, pedunculated, morphea-like and angioma-like forms. However, subcutaneous variant of DFSP that may either arise without dermal involvement or with minimal dermal involvement is very rare. A 36-year-old man presented with a palpable nodule without surface change around the right nipple. Microscopically, the neoplasm was composed of spindle cells with monomorphic storiform arrangement. The superficial part of the neoplasm was located in the subcutaneous tissue. Immunohistochemical staining showed strong cytoplasmic positivity for CD34, but not for factor XIIIa. Dermatologists should pay careful attention to these unusual variant of DFSP, which can be confused with other soft tissue tumors.

OBJECTIVES: To estimate the prevalence of hypertension, rates of awareness, treatment modalities, and control of hypertension, and also to identify factors in rural Korea that are related to these aspects of hypertension. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey, including blood pressure(BP) measurements and interviews, investigating the variables in the health belief model was performed from August to November, 1999 on 1,426 (79.4%) study subjects out of 1,797 registered residents over 30 years old in Ibansong-Myun, Chinju City. A second survey was performed from January to March, 2000 on 376 (80.0%) subjects out of 470 hypertensive (or suspected hypertensive) subjects found in the first survey. Two BP readings were taken in each survey using a standard mercury sphygmomanometer. Hypertension was defined as either a BP reading < 140/90 mmHg in both surveys, or as subjects on oral hypertensive medication. RESULTS: Estimated hypertension prevalence was 24.9% for men, and 30.4% for women. Rates of hypertension awareness, treatment (the regular use of oral hypertensives), and control (reduction of BP to <140/90 mmHg) were 52.5%, 34.4%, and 12.9%, respectively. The factors related to lower hypertension awareness in the logistic regression analysis were male gender, farming occupation, and higher perceived barrier to medical treatment (those for whom visiting health professionals is a burden). CONCLUSIONS: To improve the low awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension, a more active and out-reaching hypertension control program, including routine BP measurements for every visitor to primary care facilities, is needed in rural Korea.
