It is well known that there are many kinds of strains of fungi in the atmosphcre and important problems of the relationship between these microorganisms and human bcing. The survcy vas performed to find the source of fungal infection by the determination of pathogenic fungi at the sites of much frequented travelIed, very confused perdestrian traffic, contaminated indoors of hospital huilding. For the purose of clctermining the aerial fungi collected at the selected areas in clinic of Seoul National University Haspital (out-patient roorn and corridor, kitchen room, corridor of operating room, pharmacy floor, supply room and in-patient rooms) by sampling method of gravity seilimentation by 5 minutes exposure of Sabourands glucose agar plate (5cm. diarmeter dish) and identified the fungi macroscopically and microscopicalIy. The rusults are as follows; 1. From 8 indoor ares of hospital, 441 colonies were sampled and average number of funga1 co!onies in each of the agar plate was computed to 3,675 colonies. Total generas abtained by cultivation were 9 generas, and the common fungi in air were hormodcndrurn(18. 59%), penicillium(17.68%) and aspergilIus (16.55%) in crder frequency. 3. No pathogenic fungi were isolated, and it is assumed that there is no radical problem of infection source in hospita.I indoors practicalIy.

There have been so many misperceptions and prejudices against mental illness in our society. The wrong perception and prejudice against mental illness infringe on basic human right to receive proper medical care. Thoughts such as 'mental illness is rare', 'it is incurable', or 'psychiatric patients are weird, violent and harmful to others' are typical stereotypes of mistaken beliefs about mental illness. Scientific studies conducted throughout the world provide the opposite of these views. To reduce misunderstanding and stigma of mental illness, it is important to lead the public to recognize the mental illness is a disease of the brain to be treated, and that it can be treated effectively. To achieve this aim, proactive promotion by government and non-government organizations including medical professionals is required. In addition, vigorous scientific investigations should continue to delineate the pathophysiology of mental illness and establish effective treatment thereof.

The study was made in order to investigate the present status of superficial dermatomycoses and incidence and frequency of the disease, sex distribution by the statistical survey and varieties of the causative organism by the mycological observation. The survey was made by out-patients of dermatology clinic of Seoul National University, and private clinic of Inchon, Jeonjoo, Kwangjoo, Pusan and Kyonggido provinces during 3 years, from 1972 to 1974. The results are as folIows: 1. Tinea(T.) cruris shows a increase and T. capitis shows a decrease in number as compared with those of during 1959. 2. Frequency of T. cruris shows more high in citizens than in a rustics, and more high in a rustics than citizens in those of T. capitis. 3. The strains were isolated by ordinary sabouraud's glucose agar media and obtained 4 species, 58 strains. A. Trichophyton rubrum was most common organism of superficial dermatomycoses (58.6%).b. Trichophyton ferrugineum was exclusive organism of T.capitis in or country.

These studies were undertaken not only to evaluate the morphological change of topical vitamin A acid but also to compare the methodological difference in application, simple application and ODT, on mature mouse tail skin. All 18 animals were divided into 5 groups and serial biopsy was done after application of 0. 05% vitamine A achid and ointment base. I. 1 untreated control mouse. II. 2 mice treated with simple application of ointment base for 7 days. III. 3 mice treated with ODT of ointment base for 7 days. IV. 8 mice treated with sirnple application of 0. 05% vitamine A acid for 21 days. V. 4 mice treated with ODT of 0. 05% vitamin A acid for 7 days. The results are as follows: 1. Increase in epidermal thickness (60. 2 micron) was produced by simple applic- ation of 0. 05 % vitamin A acid for 21 days, but epidermal hypoplasia was noticert by ODT for 7 days. 2. Induction of granular layer was demonstrated by simple application of 0. 05 % vitamin A acid for 21 days. 3. There was a tendency of horny layer desquamation and epidermal darnage in application of vitamine A acid. Most severe desquamation and damage was produced by simple application of 0. 05% vitarnine A acid for 7 days. After that recovery was noticed in spite of continuous application for 21 days. 4. Epidermal hyperplasia, slight detachrnent of horny layer and epidermal damage were also produced by ODT of ointment base, probably due to nonspecific stimulation.
