In order to assess the epidermal glycogen in the epidermal hyperplastic disease, PAS(Periodic Acid Schiff) stain with or without diastase is used. Epidermal PAS positive reaction is significantly increased in psoriasis (90. 0%), verruca vulgaris (100%) and lichen simplex chronicus (100%) than control group (12, 5%) Epidermal PAS positive reaction is relatively increased in prurigo nodularis(66. 7 %) and chronic contact dermatitis (75%) Strong PAS positive reaction is noticed in 3 of 5 cases (60%) with verruca vulgaris, but none of 22 cases with psoriasis. It is suggested that epidermal glycogen epidermal hyperplasia and that the more glycogen accumulated. than control group (12. 5%) in 3 of 5 cases (60%) with verruca vulaccumulation is accompanied with the hyperplastic the epidermis is, the more glycogen accumulated.

Purpose: To evaluate and introduce the technique of C-arm guided aspiration and an injection of a mixture of corticosteroid and local anesthesia for the treatment of calcific tendinitis of the rectus femoris around the hip joint. Materials and Methods: Between March 2003 and May 2005, C-arm guided aspiration and an injection of a mixture of corticosteroid and local anesthesia were performed on 5 patients and a local excision were performed in 1 patient for the treatment of calcific tendinitis of the rectus femoris. The minimum follow-up period was 6 months. The radiology evaluation revealed the presence and size of the calcification. The clinical evaluation involved checking the level of pain relief, range of motion, recurrence, complications. Results: The hip pain improved immediately after treatment. There were no recurrences or complications. Conclusion: The combined treatment of C-arm guided aspiration and an injection of a mixture of corticosteroid and local anesthesia is an effective method for treating calcific tendinitis of the rectus femoris, which can induce rapid symptom relief without any surgical morbidity.

Forty patients(9 male and 31 female) with tsutsugamushi disease were evaluated clinically. The diagnosis of tsutsugamushi disease was confirmed by indirect immunofluoresent test or isolation of causative agent. More than 77% of patients were over 40 years of age. After the incubation period(5 to 13 days, average 8 days) symptoms developed suddenly. The frequent symtoms were fever(100%), chill(100%), headache(100%), rnalaise(97%), and myalgia(95%). On physical exammination the rash, eschar, and lymphadenopathy were found in 97%, 82%, and 67% respectively. Eschar was observed in the trunk, especially axillary, abdominal and inguinal area. Serum transarninase(SGOT snd SGPT) was elevated(89 and 87%). Urinalysis revealed proteinuria in 35%(12/34) and hematuria in 19%(7/36). Chest roentgram and ECG demonstrated abnormalities in 39%(14/36) and 73%(26/36) respectively, The treatment with doxycycline was very effective in all cases.

6.A Study on the Quality of Life and Sexual Function of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Recipients.
Journal of Korean Oncology Nursing 2009;9(1):7-14
PURPOSE: This study was to analyze the level of quality of life and sexual function of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) recipients. METHOD: Participants included 38 recipients of HSCT, attending hospital outpatient department. Data were collected using the quality of life scale and the sexual function scale. Data were analyzed using Descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Sheffe test, and Kruskal-Wallis test. RESULTS: The high score of quality of life was found in the participants with the 30s age (p=0.030), being employed (p=0.001), not having admission history after HSCT (p=0.012), and not having medication (p=0.017). The sexual function was significantly influenced by employment status (p=0.001) and irradiation therapy (p=0.043). There was a significant correlation between the quality of life and the sexual function (r=0.45, p=0.004). CONCLUSION: The sexual function have influence on the quality of life so that it is required to develop nursing interventions for sexual function to improve the quality of life of HSCT recipients.

Relapsing polychondritis is a rare inflammatory disorder affecting the cartilaginous structures throughout the body. Although there is no pathognomonic laboratory tests, clinical features, when coupled with histopathologic findings, enable one to make a diagnosis of relapsing polychondritis. A 26-year-old man presented with purplish, swollen, and tender auricles and injected eyes. His symptoms had developed eight months ago and fluctuated irrespective of various medications such as corticosteroids and antibiotics. Histopathologic examination revealed loss of basophilic staining of the cartilage with some dissolution of its structures. Treatment was initiated with dapsone, However, the remission was too immediate to be considered as a effect of dapsone.
