The distribution of pemphigus subclass autoantibodies in a patient with pemphigus vulgaris (PV) has been investigated by semiquantitative indirect immunofluorescence (IIF), using the HP series monoclonal antibodies specific for four human IgG subclasses on human foreskins. IgG1 and IgG4 intercellular substance-specific autoantibodies were detected in the serum of the patient, whereas IgG2 and IgG3 autoantibodies were absent. In addition to foreskins, human tonsillar epithelia were used as substrates of IIF for detecting the PV autoantibodies and it was one of satisfactory substitutes for monkey esophagus.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical features, histologic classification and treatment outcomes of patients with malignant lymphoma of the eye. METHODS: The participants included 22 patients with malignant lymphoma of the orbit and ocular adnexa treated at our hospital between May 1994 and September 2001. The authors retrospectively analyzed the sex, age, location of mass, histopathologic type, stage and results of the treatment. RESULTS: Of the 22 patients, 14 cases were male and 8 were female. The age ranged from 26 to 68 years (mean age 43 years). The most common presenting complaint was slowly growing mass of the eye. Histopathologic studies revealed extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma, MALT type in 20 cases (91%). The stages of lymphomas were included I AE in 14 cases (63%), II AE in 3 cases (14%), III AE in 3 cases (14%) and IV A in 2 cases (9%). Patients received radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy. Twenty out of 22 cases (91%) achieved a complete remission. During the mean follow-up of 26 months, two patients died of progression of the disease; one patient had extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma, MALT type of stage III AE and the other patient had diffuse large cell lymphoma of stage II AE. CONCLUSIONS: Radiotherapy can produce durable remission in the majority of the patients with localized primary orbital lymphoma. Chemotherapy should be performed for the patients with highly malignant lymphomas or lymphomas with systemic manifestations.

BACKGROUND: The evaluation of obesity in practice has been done indirectly by anthropometric values such as body mass index(BMI), waist and hip circumferences and waisthip ratio(WHR). Somatotype drawing developed by Srensen has been evaluated as a simple instrument of obesity without real somatic measuring in several studies. This study was attempted to evaluate correlation between somatotype drawing and anthropometric values. METHODS: The subjects were measured anthroprmetric values such as height, weight, hip and waist circumferences. After calculating BMI and WHR, we evaluated correlation between these values and somatotype drawing. And we tried to grouping of somatotype drawing with the means of anthropometric values. RESULTS: The data were collected from 224 subjects, whose BMI(kg/m2) and WHR were 22.81+/-2.96 and 0.84+/-0.07(mean+/-SD). Spearmans correlation coefficients(rs) of somatotype drawing were 0.77 with BMI, 0.62 with waist circumference, 0.61 with weight and hip circumference, 0.40 with WHR that remained statistically significant after adjusting age, sex, education level, monthly income and job. And, the grades of somatotype drawing were grouped as 1, 2, 3-4, 5-6, 7 by BMI and hip circumference, 1, 2-4, 5, 6, 7 by waist circumference(ANOVA and Duncans method). CONCLUSIONS: Somatotype drawing has a good correlations with BMI, weight, waist and hip circumference. But it is not applicable to assess WHR because of its relatively lower correlation.

PURPOSE: To determine the accuracy of MRI on postoperative pain syndrome (POPS), including early complications such as hematoma or infection. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Of the 54 patients with the POPS, we analyzed pre-operative MRI findings compared with operative findings on 39 patients, excluding nonunion, instability, metal failure and pseudarthrosis, who underwent an operation for POPS from December 1994 to June 1997. There were 25 men (64.1%) and 14 women (35.9%), aged from 16 to 68 years (average 44.5 years). They were divided into 5 subgroups and calculated for sensitivity, specificity and positive predictability. RESULTS: MRI accuracy in recurred disc was 84%, scar adhesion, recurred or developed stenosis, infection and hematoma was 100% for each overall accuracy of MRI was 93%. Average interval of reoperation in POPS was 3.2 years. In 21 cases (53.8%), symptoms persisted without pain-free interval after first operation. CONCLUSIONS: Early complications, including hematoma and infection, are easily detected with MRI. Especially if patient complains of severe leg pain or neurologic deficit, MRI is a good diagnostic tool. MRI is a useful method for evaluation of most cases of POPS, but it is limited in evaluating recurred disc or scar adhesion only in T1, T2 weighted image. Therefore, Gd-DTPA enhancement is necessary for an accurate diagnosis.

In order to evaluate the hypotensive effect of the lisinopril, a long acting angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, 10 to 30mg of lisinopril were administered in 35 hypertensive Korean adults during six weeks after a week observation for washout with stepwise increments of the dose according to the response of the patients blood pressure in every two weeks. The results were ; 1) The supine blood pressures were decreased from 163.7+/-16.6/99.8+/-9.3mmHg to 140.7+/-15.5/87.4+/-9.9mmHg at the end of six weeks' drug therapy(p<0.001). The standing blood pressures were also decreased conferrably and to the some lower levels. 2) In 14 patients to whom the drug was administered longer period(12 to 28 weeks) the blood pressure lowering effects were maintained at the level of that of 6th week. 3) Hematologic examination and blood chemistry revealed no discernible abnormal findings before and after the treatment. 4) In those patients who showed no adequate blood pressure control with other classes of antihypertensive drugs the lisinopril was effective in lowering their blood pressures by adding small doses. 5) During the period of the study a few probably drug-related symptoms developed but not troublesome except dry cough and dry mouth shich forced to stop administering the drug after completion of six weeks' period in one patients. From above results we concluded that lisnopril is effective and safe for the treatment of hypertension in Korean adults.
