Intraosseous ganglion is a benign cystic lesion. It is composed of fibrous tissue with mucoid changes located in the subchondral bone adjacent to a joint. Intraosseous ganglion has been reported in various skeletal sites and most commonly in the lower end of the tibia and femur. However reports of intraosseous ganglion of the glenoid are rare, with only 14 cases in the literature. We repot 2 cases of intraosseous ganglion of the glenoid with literature reviews.

This study was done on 171 volunteers in order to investigate the present status of cutaneous normal flora of Candida species and the distribution of Candida species on the normal human skin in dermatologic clinic of Korea University Hospital from January, ]984 to December, 1984. Among the 171 volunteers, 115 strains of Candida species were identified by culture on the Sabouraud's dextrose agar media, germ tube test, sugar assimilation test, sugar fermentaion test and culture on corn meal with Tween 80 media, The results were summarized as follows: 1. The incidence of cutaneous normal flora of Candida species was 13, 5,5 (115 species among 855 sites) 2. Candida species were distributed in oral cavity(45 species), 4th interdigital toe web(39 species), groin(12 species), axilla(11 species) and 4th interdigital finger web(8 species) in order of frequency. 3, Of ll5 species, 45 species were cultured in summer, 27 species in autumn, 18 species in winter and 14 species in spring. 4 Of 115 Candida species, C. albicans(88 species), C. parapsilosis(12 species), C, tropicalis(8 species), C. guilliermondii(3 species) and C. stellatoidea(2 species) were identified. Two species could not be identified.

Congenital ectodermal dysplasia are a group of familial disorders that affect tissues and organs of ectodermal origin to varying degrees. It devided hidrotic type and anhidrotic type by geneologic origin and distinct clinical manifestationa. The hidrotic type usually trait by autosomal dominant gene and manifested dystrofic nails, defect of hair and eyebrow and palmoplantar hyperkeratosis. This patient is 16 year oId male. He had been dystrophic nails, alopecia since at birth, thereafter palmoplantar hyperkeratosis, clubbing fingers noted. C.R.C. Urinalysis, stool examination, chest x-ray were within normal limit. Biopsy specimen from palm revealed hyperkeratosis, hypergranulosis, acanthosis and, mild inflamrnatory cell infiltrate on upper dermis. Biopsy speeimen from the scalp revealed norrriaI findings except slight hypoplasia of ebaceaus gland.

A study of concentration smear, culture for AFB and sensitivity test for antituberculous drugs was carried out in 810 patients who had been admitted in SNUH in the period of 12 months from January 1976 to December 1976. Acid-fast bacilli was confirmed in 110 cases (13.6%) by concentrated direct smear and in 88 cases(10.9%) by culture, and concomitantly sensitivity test was performed in 26 isolated cases. Streptomycin, INH, PAS, Kanamycin and Ethionamide were rather less sensitive to the strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, but all strains obtained during the period of this study were highly sensitive to Rifampicin.

We report a case of morphea profunda in a 21-year-old male who had diffuse brown sclerotic plaques on his extremities. Laboratory findings showed peripheral eosinophilia and an increased titers for anti-DNA and anti-nuclear antibodies. Histopathologic findings showed diffuse fibrosis and a thickening of the lower dermis and subcutaneous tissue. He has been treated with hydroxychloroquine 400mg per day and the sclerosis of the skin improved.

A clinical observation of cutaneous complications was made on 200 patients receiving cancer chemotherapy at the Department of Internal Medicine, Seoul National University from January through May, 1986. The results were as follows: 1. Among the 200 patients, 191 case(95. 5%) showed cutaneous complications 2. The cutaneous complications included the following; hyperpigmentation(14l cases, 70. 5%), alopecia(138 cases, 69.4%), nail change(118 cases, 59.0%), mucositis(47 cases, 23.5%), dryness of the skin(40 cases, 20.0%), seborrheic dermatitis(24 cases, 12. 2%), increase of seborrheic keratosis(11 cases, 5.6%), folliculitis or acneiform eruptions(9 cases, 4,5%), melasma(6 cases, 3.0%), gynecomastia(3 cases, 1.5%), vessel hardening or dimpling(3 cases, 1.5%), radiation recall(2 cases, 1.0%), hyperhydrosis(2 cases), photosensitivity(1 case, 0.5%), tissue necrosis(1 case), facial flushing(1 case), purpura(1 case) and obesity(1 case), 3 Steps were taken to determine the chemotherapeutic agents causing these cutaneous complications, though in some cases it was difficult in determining exaetlr which chemotherapeutic agent was the cause of the observed cutaneous complication.

This study was investigated to compare the staining resistance of soft denture liners. Specimens wee made of Coe-soft. Coe-Comfort, Soft-liner, Visco-gel, and were stored in 1% methyleneblue solution for 24 hours. The amounts of color change before and after treatment with mono-poly and thermocycling were measured by colorimeter(TC-6FX, Tokyo Denshoku Co. Ltd, Japan) for evaluation of staining resistance. The following conclusions were drawn from this study. 1. The staining resistance of Visco-gel was increased, but there was no changer of staining resistance in Coe-soft, Coe-comfort, and Soft-liner after treatment with monopoly. 2. The staining resistance of the Coe-comfort was the least in all soft denture liners. 3. The staining resistance of Visco-gel and Soft-liner were decreased after thermocycling.

Soft denture liners or conditioners may be valuable therapeutic materials. The life of these liners is short and varies, but it can be extended by the use of a mono-poly(polymethyl methacrylate coating material). This study determined whether coating three temporary soft denture liners with mono-poly affected the resiliency of soft liners, and evaluated the ability of mono-poly to prevent water absorption and alcohol loss from the underlying soft liners. 20x12mm cylindrical specimens of Coe-Soft, Soft-Liner, Coe-Comfort soft lining materials were made and divided into two groups of mono-poly uncoated(control) and mono-poly coated specimens. Specimens were immersed in water and compressed on an instron universal testing machine and weighted at initial, 24 hours, 1 week, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks. resiliency was determined by measuring the energy absorbed by the soft liners when stressed to a specific yield point. Mono-poly coating significantly increased the resiliency of the Soft-Liner, but had no effect on the other soft liners. Among the 3 soft liners, Soft-Liner showed the hightest resiliency and modulus of elasticity. The weight loss in Soft-Liner was the least among the 3 liners, and the weight loss in Coe-Soft was decreased by monopoly coating.

A case of cutaneous sarcoidosis in the 66 year-old Korean female patient is presented. She shows typical skin manifestations of plaque type in the absence of other common objective evidence of systemic involvement. Diagnosis was confirmed by charcteristic histological findings and positive Kveim test with the support of other compatible clinical and biochemical findings. She had been followed up for 3 years since the first visiting. Recently chest X-ray, slit lamp examination and skin biopsies were taken again, but failed to reveal any significant interval changes.
