BACKGROUND: Ota's nevus is not an uncommon pigmenta y disorder in Asian people including Koreans. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to examine the clinical features of the patients and to determine the existince of any relevance between them. METHODS: We arrid out a retrospective study with cialreviews and phone interviews or direct examinatior. for clinical features of the lesions in acesible patients. RESULTS: The peak age of onset was at birth, pubertyed adolescence in decreasing order. The most frequen1,ly involved site was the eyelid, and the type I was the most common. Bluish black color was pie edorninant. The lesions which did not inili the eyelid or the lesions which developed after birtten were more likely to be light brown in cilc(p<0.05). CONCLUSION: The clrical features of Otas nevus were revwed and analyzed statistically.

Injuries and pains of musculoskeletal joint in human body is common onset in industrialized world. However, muscle fatigue plays a very significant role in contributing causes of many pains associated with musculoskeletal joints. Based on this hypothesis, degree of muscle fatigue was investigated using electromyography measurement technique during isometric and concentric/eccentric muscle contractions. Different response of the muscle fatigue between two different muscle contractions (isometric and concentric/eccentric contractions) was examined by comparison of parameters which were median frequency, median power and RMS value. Healthy 16 young persons without previous musculoskeletal diesease history were tested with Noraxon Myosystem 2000 EMG measurement system. In this study, two different exercises were performed. First exercise was concentric/eccentric exercise. Second exercise was isometric muscle contraction. In the case of the isometric exercise, median frequency was decreased, but median power and RMS were increased. However, during the concentric/eccentric exercse, median frequency was increased, but median power and RMS were decreased. Both of those revealed that the pattern of the median frequency was W type, but median power and RMS were M type as time passed. In this study, the patterns of the muscle fatigue during concentric/eccentric exercise as well as isometric exercise were identified. It will be helpful to prevent musculoskeletal injury from over-working andexercising.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a disease of unknown etiology in which tissues and cells are damaged by pathogenic autoantibodies and immune complexes. Skin manifestations of SLE include malar rash, discoid rash, photosensitivity, oral ulcer, panniculitis, urticaria, bullae, erythema multiforme and lichen planus-like lesions. It has long been recognized that dystrophic soft tissue calcification may occur in association with certain connective tissue disorders such as scleroderma or dermatomyositis. Soft tissue calcification in a patient with SLE has been rarely reported. We have experienced a patient with SLE who presented with diffuse subcutaneous tissue calcification on face, chest, abdomen and all extremities.
