Nodular fat necrosis is a rare and often overlooked sign of pancreatic disease. It is manifested as painful subcutaneous erythematous nodules, often found on the legs. We report a case of nodular fat necrosis associated with pancreatitis. The patient was a 14-year-old girl who presented with erythema nodosum-like tender subcutaneous nodules on both her lower extremities. The serum amylase and lipase levels were markedly elevated. The change of serum calcium and eosinophils were not so remarkable. Histopathological findings showed diffuse subcutaneous fat necrosis and ghost-like cells with thick shadowy walls and no nuclei. The lesions involuted gradually without any specific treatment and the underlying pancreatitis was followed up in the department of medicine.

Acquired tufted angioma is a benign, slowly progressive angioma with a typical histological pattern that was first described by Wilson-Jones in 1976. We report a case of acquired tufted angioma in a 19 year old female who had erythematous papules and plaques on the right thigh. Histopathological findings showed multiple capillary lobules in a cannonball arrangement scattered throughout dermis, which was diagnostic of acquired tufted angioma.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study is that the prevalence of rotavirus infection was evaluated by each group and clinical features of group A, B and C rotaviruses infections were described respectively to compare one with another. METHODS: Between January 2010 and December 2010, we enrolled a group of children below 10 years of age admitted for management of acute diarrhea at the Catholic University of Korea Bucheon St. Mary's Hospital. A total of 310 stool samples documented to be free of common bacterial pathogens were collected from children with diarrhea. The presence of group A, B or C rotavirus is indicated by amplification of DNA segments of the expected lengths after the first and second PCRs. RESULTS: In a total of 310 stool specimens, 40 (12.9%) specimens were positive for rotaviruses. These included 23 (7.4%) positive for group A, 5 (1.6%) for group B and 12 (3.9%) for group C rotaviruses. Group B rotavirus infected patients had significantly less diarrheas per day (group A: P=0.01, group C: P=0.01) and shorter duration of vomiting days (group A: P=0.03, group C: P=0.03) than those with group A and C rotaviruses infection respectively. All the group B rotaviruses had been isolated in March and October. Group C rotavirus infections were prevalent during late summer and early winter and peaked in October. CONCLUSION: These findings indicate that group B and C rotaviruses are notable causes or the contributing causes of diarrhea among infants and children in Korea.

PURPOSE: To report two cases of deepening of the upper lid sulcus following bimatoprost. METHODS: A 54-year-old woman who used bimatoprost for one week and a 70-year-old woman who used bimatoprost for 4 months developed deep lid sulcus. Both were using bimatoprost for glaucoma treatment. RESULTS: Both patients also showed improvement of dermatochalasis and widening of the palpebral fissure. One week after discontinuing bimatoprost, the lid sulcus of the 54-year-old returned to baseline and exophthalmometry was unchanged. The orbital CT of the 70-year-old was normal. She did not complain about deepening of the lid sulcus, and she has not discontinued treatment due to this adverse effect.

Gastric diverticula have been considered to be rave when compored with diverticula in other sites of the gastrointestinal tract. It's prevalence is 0.043% of routine gastrointestinal radiologic examination by Palmer's extensive review. Gastric diverticula almost always occur as a single lesion and approximately 75% of gastric diverticula occur in the juxtacardiac region, high on the posterior wall of the stomach, about 2 cm below the esophagogastric junction and 3 cm from the lesser curvature. We report a case of 75-year-old male patient with multiple gastric diverlicula which was first encountered by endoscopy and confirmed by upper gastrointestinal radiologic examination.

BACKGROUND: The HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor is the most powerful cholesterol lowering drug and lovastatin, simvastatin and pravastatin are used clinically. We studied the efficacy and side effects of pravastatin monotherapy in patients with hypercholesterolemia(type IIa or IIb). METHODS: Patients who showed 12-hours fasting serum total cholesterol level more than 240mg% were enrolled to diet therapy. After 4weeks of diet therapy, serum lipid profiles were checked and the drug therapy was considered according to NCEP guidelines. The pravastatin 5mg po bid was administrated and the patients had regular follow-up every 2weeks for 8week. RESULTS: The total study population was 20 patients and the mean age of them was 55 years old (55+/-18, M : F=6 : 14). There were a few side effects in 5% of study patients and no patient discontinued pravastatin due to side effects.The side effect was G-I trouble and there were not other side effects. Serum CK was elevated in only one patient but the elevation was mild(less than 3 times) and transient. The LFT, serum uric acid, BUN and creatinine level did not show any significant changes during therapy. Among lipid profiles, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and apolipoprotein B level showed significant reduction after therapy and the maximum reduction was achieved after 2week of therapy. The mean reduction was 20%, 33% and 23% respectively. HDL-cholesterol and apolipoprotein A1 11% and 17% respectively. The triglyceride level did not show any changes during therapy but in one type IIb patient, the triglyceride level decreased significantly. CONCLUSIONS: The pravastatin is effective and safe in patients with hypercholesterolemia.
