Author observed histopathologically and immunologically the old lepers of 360 cases, having the duration of infection with average 11 years and 5months. Here summarize as follows : 1. Microscopically in L-type, lepra cells, or Virchow cells (foamy cells) were relatively large, and the infiltration showed the tendency to concentrate particularly around the periglandular regions. Free zones were mostly obscure and disappeared. 2. Tuberculoid structure tends to be obscured in T-type of leprosy. 3. The healings showed few granulomatous infiltration, rather the almost normal findings. But periglandular and perivascular infiltrates were present. 4. Lepromin test was considerably positive in T-type of leprosy (about 57.8%)

A survey was performed from April 1978 to Oct. 1978, on the high blood pressure of workers employed at industries in Busan area in order to seek for the environmental factors on blood pressure. The number of workers surveyed in the manufacturing industries occupied 72.4 percent of the total. By the age group of all workers, 39.9 percent belonged to the 20-20 year group. For the age distribution and sex of the workers, the highest frequency was found in the 20-29 year group in both sexes and was 36.8% and 46.1% in male and female, respectively. The prevalence rate of hypertension among the workers was 15.9. The industries showing the highest prevalence rate equivalent to wholesale, retail trades, restaurants, and hotels. This survey presented a tendency of increasing prevalence rate as the age increases.

1. The saturated solution of starch, inulin and lactose could not inhibit the growth in media of monilia albicans. Trichophyton interdigitable and alternaria species. 2. In the cultivation findings of monilia albicans shows imperfect or dysfigured elementary pattern in saturated maltose, mannitol and ruffinose media, and was inhibited the growth by sucrose and dextrose lotion. 3. Saturated mannitol solution inhibit growth of trichophyton interdigitable strain and mannitol and dextrose inhibit the alternaria cultivation.

The study was made in order to investigate the present status of superficial dermatomycoses and some changes on the frequency of the diseases, sex distribution and varieties of the causative organisms by the statistic and mycological observation. The survey was made by out-patients of Dermatology clinic of Seoul National University during 3 years, from 1967 to 1970. The results are as follows: 1. Tinea (T) capitis shows a great decrease (1/4) and T. cruris shows a increase in number as compared with those of during 1957-1960. 2. In T. capitis the number of male cases is equal to that of female cases. It is remarkable difference that the ratio of sex distinetion showed 25 males against to one female during 1967 to 1970. 3. The strains were isolated by ordinary sabouraud's glucose agar media and obtained 4 species, 125 strains. a. Tr. rubrum was most predominant organism of T. pedis & manum, T. cruris, T. corporis and Onychomycosis in Seoul districs. b. Tr. ferrugineum was most common organism of T. capitis (80%).

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.

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.
