We reported the case of Mr. M.H. Lee aged 46 years, who was first seen March. 4, 1972. The Chief complaint was pain on the left forehead and nausea for one day. Tension with the Schiotz tonometer was 45mmHg. The skin of left side of the forehead, inside of the eyebrow, left side of the radix nasi and nostril showed irregular papule formation in small circumscribed areas 2 days after admission. Acute iritis finding was occurred 6 days after the onset. The clinical course was one month. Sensitivity of the cornea was recovered and vision was improved to normal without posterior synechia or corneal ulcer.

Some of chronic benign recurrent dermatoses are markedly recalcitrant to the ordinary dermatological treatments. The author studied the therapeutic effect of beta ray on those of 30 patients including 6 cases of psoriasis, 3 of lichen simplex chronicus, 9 of nummular eczema, 8 of pustulosis palmaris et plantaris, and 4 of chronic eczema of the finger. All of the above were promptly recurred with ordinary treatments. Strontium 90 applicator was used as the source of beta ray and the total irradiation doses to each sites were ranged from 600 to 1500 rads in divided doses(usually weekly) over 2 to 3 weeks. The results were as follows, 1. In psoriasis patients with papular type were cleared by strontium 90, however, with chronic localized plaque type were poorly responded. The relapses of the cleared papular type were noticed between 13 to 24 days intervals, and it appeared that the larger doses did not influence significantly the clinical results. 2. Almost all of the chronic eczematous dermatoses including lichen simplex chronicus, nummular eczema, pustulosis Palmaris et plantaris, and chronic eczema of the finger, which were irradiated by beta rays following clearance with preliminary corticosteroid therapy, were recurred between 2 to 4 weeks intervals. However, larger doses resulted in prolonged recurrence intervals in a few patients. 3. No noticeable eariy hazards of irradiation were detected except for the mild hyperpigmentation on the irradiated skin.

Multiple myeloma is a primary malignant tumor of bone marrow characterized by proliferation of cells arising from primitive marrow reticulum that resemble plasma cells. This is one of the most common primary malignant neoplasm involving bone elements. Bone pain, soft tissue mass, low grade fever, anemia, neurologic symptom and renal insufficiency are the main clinical pictures. Authors present radiological and clinical findings of multiple myeloma in 10 cases of pathologically proved multiple myeloma. The results obtained are as follows; 1. In the age and sex distributions, all cases are over 45 years of age, and male to female is 7:3. 2. Clinical manifestations are bone pain, anemia, infection, weight loss, and bleeding. 3. Radiological findings are numerous punched out osteolytic lesions, generalized osteoporosis & osteolytic change, pathologic compression fractures, fracture only and osteoporosis, lytic and fractures. 4. Laboratory findings are monoclonal gammopathy in serum-electrophoresis, proteinuria, anemia, elevated uric acid in serum, Bence-Jones protein in urine and albumin/globulin ration inverse in serum protein.

Impetigo herpetiformis is a rare disease which has not been cleary defined in the European or American literature and is currently not fully appreciated or accepted as a clinical entity. According to Baker & Ryan, Impetigo herpetiformis was reffered to as the Exanthematous type of generalized pustular psoriasis. Impetigo herpetiformis starts suddenly without any preceding lesions of psoriasis as an extensive eruption of pustules on an erythematous base, and may. occur repeatedly during successive pregancies but may occur also without any known cause. A case of Impetigo herpetiformis affecting 30 year old 8 month pregnent woman, who has been suffering from generalized coaIesced pustular eruption with slight itching & buming sensation with fever & chill. 15days before, The Eruption began as an erythematous macule which developed pustules along the margin. There was extension by the development of fresh peripheral pustules and coalescence of these patches and central clearing. Diagnasis was confirmed by histopathologic finding and treated with cortico.teroid and Antibiotics, But improvement was not noted.

Isolated bronchogenic cysts of the diaphragm are rare abnormalities. They are usually asymptomatic unless secondarily infected or large enough to cause compression of vital structures. The patient was a 31-year-old man and had no symptoms except mild postprandial epigastric discomfort. The chest X-ray and chest C-T examination revealed a mediastinal mass at the left cardio-vertebro-phrenic angle. We performed the operation under the impression of solid mass at mediastinum. We revealed that the mass was bronchogenic cyst in diaphragm. Therefore we report this case with review of literatures.

BACKGROUND: It is now well established that hypercholesterolemia is an important cause of coronary heart disease, and clinical intervention studies have demonstrated the therapeutic value of correcting hypercholesterolemia. One of lipoprotein, lipoprotein(a) [LP(a)] contains one(or two) molecule of apo(a) linked to apo B100 by a disulphied bridge, is associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease. NIDDM patients have a two-to fourfold increased risk of coronary heart disease relative to nondiabetic subjects. This excess risk is explained only partially by increased levels of standard risk factors. This study was conducted to assess the relatioship between serum Lp(a) levels and coronary heart disease. Furthermore, whether the Lp(a) level was related with NIDDM or not. METHODS: Total 83 subjects undergoing coronary angiography were evaluated on clinical risk factors and lipid profies with Lp(a). Among them, 24 subjects had normal coronary artery, while the others revealed significant stenosis of coronary arteries more than 50%. RESULTS: The serum Lp(a) levels of the CHD group were significantly higher than control group(37.4 +/- 31.8mg/dl vs 22.6 +/- 12.9mg/dl). Other lipids profile were not significantly dfferent between two groups. Serum Lp(a) levels had no relations to fasting blood sugar level. Multivariate logistic regression analysis of lipid parameters revealed that cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and Lp(a) were best discriminator among risk factors for coronary heart disease. But in our study, the serum cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol levels were within normal range. CONCLUSION: This study suggested that Lp(a) level was a significant independent risk factor for coronary heart disease whether there was fasting hyperglycemia or not.
