Persistent light reaction, actinic reticuloid, photosensitive eczema are three chronic photodermatoses with a feature of clinical, histological, and photobiologieal characteristics in common. These conditions were given the name of chronic persistent photosensitivity. Chronic persistent photosensitivity with the feature of photosensitive eczema developed in a 68-year-old male patient who had experienced persisited dermatitis. On phototesting the patient showed extremely severe photosensitivity to the short wave UVB. A skin biopsy showed microscopic finding of eczematous dermatitis.

This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of superoxide dismutase(SOD) to sunburn cell production and development of UV-induced ear swelling reaction in mouse skin after ultraviolet irradiation. In this study, a total of 60 ICR female albino haired mice were used and divided into two groups, A(UVB: 150mJ/cm) and B(UVB:300mJ/cm). Groups of mice were injected intravenouly with SQD(300mJ,/1000cm) just befare UVR and after completion of UVR. The results were as follows . 1. The number of sunburn cells was significantly decreased by injection of SOD (300ug.1000ug)(p<0.05). 2. The number of sunburn cells in a group of mice which was given SOD 1000ug was significantly decreased more than in SOD 300pg(p<0.05). 3. Ear swelling reaction was not significantly suppressed by injection of SOD(300 Pa. 100SC)(p<0 05)

Serum is free of cellular components. Because DNA is located in the nuclei or mitochondria of cells, serum could be assumed DNA free. Few previously published case reports to date have used serum for DNA typing. Here, we report on human genotyping via short tandem repeat (STR) analysis using serum as a sample, and discuss problems involved in the process.

A case of Tuberous Sclerosis, 4 year-old-Korean boy was observed. He had some symptoms about Tuberous Sclerosis which were abenoma sebaceum, seizure, shagreen patch and hypopigmented macule. Diagnosis was confirmed by facial skin biopsy and adenoma sebaceum was noticed.

Pararenal pseudocyst is a collection of fluid within the renal fascia outside the renal capsule and a relatively rare clinical entity which commonly occur as a result of trauma. either accidental or operative. Histologically, the wall is composed mostly of dense collagenous fibrous connective tissue. with no cellular elements capable of cyst formation. A case of pararenal pseudocyst associated with renal hypertension developed in 6 year-old boy after blunt abdominal trauma was reported.

Cavernous hemangioma of the bladder is the rarest of all bladder tumors. Less than 75 cases were reported in the literatures since Broca reported the first case in 1869. We report a case of cavernous hemangioma of the bladder in a 7-year-old girl and literatures were reviewed.
