A 43-year-old male patient visited our clinic complaining of persistent erythematous skin eruptions on the anterior chest, abdomen, and back for 10 years. Reticular erythematous mucinosis (REM) syndrome was diagnosed by the clinical and histopathologic features. Mucin deposition is much more conspicuous in papular lesions than in plaque lesions. Therefore, we suggest that the papular lesions may show the characteristic changes of REM and that a biopsy specimen should be obtained from a papular lesion for proper diagnosis of REM syndrome.

The cutaneous lymphadenoma is a recently described tumor with a distinctive histologic picture representing a basaloid epithelial proliferation and intraepithelial lymphocytic infiltration; it seems to be a benign adnexal neoplasm of uncertain histogenesis. We documented one example of cutaneous lymphadenoma showing typical histologic features. The tumor typically presented as a well circumscribed nodule with scant or no epidermal connections. The proliferating one consisted of multiple rounded lobules of basaloid cells with some degree of peripheral palisading. There was an intense infiltrate of small lymphocytes within the lobules but few in the stroma. No clear adnexal differentiation is noted. Immunohistochemically, the basaloid cells show weak immunoreactivity for high molecular weight keratin and carcinoembryonic antigen, small lymphocytes for T-cell marker and some dendritic cells for S-100 protein. After surgical resection, we found no evidence of local recurrence or distant metastasis for four years, so we considered this tumor as a benign one and diagnosed as cutaneous lymphadenoma by typical histologic features.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to analyze trends in complementary and alternative therapy in nursing research in Korea. METHOD: The researchers examined academic theses and dissertations published from 1990 to 2002, and 151 articles were used for the analysis. RESULT: Nursing research on CAT increased rapidly from 1995. Articles with quantitative research designs made up 93.9% of the total and there were more experimental studies than non-experimental studies. Patients who had surgery, mental disorders, renal failure, hypertension, arthritis, dementia & cancer were the most frequently participants in studies on CAT. The type of CAT used in nursing research were mind-body therapy (65.8%), manual healing therapy (28.7%), phamacologic & biological therapy (3.7%), bioelectromagnetics (0.9%) and herbal therapy (0.9%). In 44 articles both psychological and physiological parameters were used as dependent variables. In 34 articles only physiological parameters were used and in 13 only psychological parameters. The most frequently used physiological parameters in CAT were pain, physiological function and vital signs, while the most used psychological parameters were anxiety, depression and stress. CONCLUSION: More studies about CAT are needed to extend the role and fields for professional nursing. There is a need to conduct qualitative studies in nursing about the experiences of patients who receive CAT and nurses who use CAT.

PURPOSE: To determine the long-term follow-up CT findings of paraquat-induced lung injury. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Six patients who ingested paraquat underwent sequential follow-up CT scanning during a period of at least six months, and the results were analysed. Scans were obtained 1-6 (mean, 3.3) time during a 7-84 (mean, 25.7) months period, and the findings at 1-2 months, 3-12 months, 1-2 years, 2-3 years, and more than above 7 years after poisoning were analyzed. RESULTS: We observed irregular-shaped areas of consolidation with traction bronchiectasis at 1-2 months (5/5), irregular-shaped consolidation and ground-glass opacity (5/5) at 3-12 months, and irregular-shaped consolidations/ ground-glass opacity (4/5) and focal honeycombing (1/5) one year later. In the same patients, follow-up CT scans showed that some areas of focal consolidation could not be visualized and the radio-opacity of the lesions had decreased. CONCLUSION: The HRCT findings of paraquat-induced lung injury were irregular shaped areas of consolidation 1-2 months after ingestion, and irregular-shaped consolidation and ground-glass opacity or focal honeycombing 3-12 months later. At this thim slight improvement was observed.
