Impaired sweating reportedly has been associated with a high incidence of heat pyrexia. An important cause is attributed to sweat gland fatigue following intense prolonged sweating. For further investigation, sweat gland fatigue was induced by heat exposure for 2 hours in a hot room (dry bulb 46c, wet bulb 37c) with 9 healthy subjects. Sweating rate of the right forearm increased progressively for the first 45 minutes with a maximum value of 40.0mg/4. 91 cm2/15 min followed by a slow decrease to 24.9 mg/4.91cm2/15 min at the end of 2 hours. Active sweat pores decreased in number following 2 hours of heat exposure but the differences were not significant statistically. In spite of the higher sweat rate on the back, the number of active sweat pores was smaller as compared to the right forearm. Na+ concentrations of the second hour sweat collections were higher than those of the first hour with difference of 14. 9 mEq/l on the right forearm and 12.3 mEq/1 on the back.

Lipodystrophia centrifugalis ahdominalis infantilis(LCAI), an atypical form of progressive lipodystrophy, is a diseaee named by Imamura et al in 1971, and reported a few cases in japan. We report a case who has diagnosed as LCAI. The patient ia 5 and half year old boy. He had 2cm by 7cm sized, linear depressed leaion with surrounding erythema on the right inguinal region which was noticed 5 months prior to first diagnosis. There was no family history, no physical abnormality except skin lesion. Cornplete blood cell count, urinalysis, stool examination, liver function test and chest X-ray were within normal limit. Biopsy specimens from the depressed lesion and surrounding erythematous area revealed slight atrophy of the epidermis, a mild lymphocyte infiltration around the vesaels and eccrine glands in the upper part of derrnis, markedly decreased amount of subcutaneous adipoae tissue with mild lymph- ocyte infiltration in depressed area and marked lymphocyte infiltration, intermingled with histiocyte in surrounding erythematous area, but normal amount of adipase tissue.

A 58-year-old male presented with a pruritic, erythematous hread-like eruption on the right chest, which appeared as a small papule since 6 months prior to his visit. Histopathologic examination showed a burrow containing numerous eosinophiles and a few mononuclear cells in the epidermis. There was focal spongiosis unde the burrow. In the dermis, there was a diffuse and occasionally dense perivascular and periadnx 1 inflammatory cell infiltration consisting of eosinophiles and some lymphocytes. Multiple histologic sections were made without success in deizo strating parasitic tissue in the epidermis, however, the clinical and histopathologic features we onsistent with cutaneous larva migrans.

A 54-year-old woman with severe bullous pemphigoid (BP) associated with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (DM), who showed unresponsiveness to conventional therapy with corticosteroids in combination of either cyclosporme or dapsone, was successfully treated with plasmapheresis followed each time by 3 successive days of pulse therapy of cyclophosphamide (500mg, intravenously). After six times of plasmapheresis, anti-basement membrane zone (BMZ) antibody titer decreased from 1:1280 to 1:40 and no new lesions developed at all. In severe refractory BP patients with uncontrolled DM, plasmapheresis is one of the valuable treatment modalities for a short period and the need for corticosteroids thus avoiding corticosteroid induced side effects. Herein we report a case of BP with uncontrolled DM who showed an excellent response to a low dose of corticosteroid and 150 mg oral azathioprine following plasmapheresis and cyclophosphamide pulse therapy.

We report a case of sebaceous hyperplasia showing linear arrangement in a 13-year-old girl. The lesion was found at birth and became prominent gradually. Multiple small discrete yellowish papules were arranged in a linear pattern on the temporal srea of the face. Unusual, incidental histopathologic finding was a sebaceous lobule lying in a dilated infundibular portion, which appeared to represent transfollicular extrusion of sebaceous lobule as a natural phenomenon.

Since Green et al has introduced a new technique of retrograde intramedullary nail, the use of retrograde interlocking intramedullary nails has been recommended as one of the treatment options for the distal femoral fracture. However there are some disadvantages that an arthrotomy is required for insertion and the knee joint could often be violated. Authors present a simple, arthroscopically assisted method using the retrograde intramedullary nailing for distal femoral fractures with minimal invasiveness to the knee. From March 1995 to March 1997, the retrograde intramedullary nail was used to treat 9 distal femoral fractures. Five of 9 patients were fractured at the distal shaft of the femur and others were fractured at the supracondylar region of the femur. Only one of the fractures was open injury(Gustilo-Anderson grade II). Significant concomitant knee joint injuries were revealed through the arthroscopy in 3 patients. Eight of 9 fractures healed by 5 months, but one fracture was not healed and required bone grafting. Average knee range of motion was 130. Complications included 1 nonunion and 1 hardware failure. There were no patellofemoral problems and no posttraumatic arthritis of the knee joint. This arthroscope-assisted method have some potential benefits that include decreased risk of damage to the knee joint, early evaluation and treatment of the associated knee joint injuries, and accurate placement of the nail.
