Korean Circulation Journal 1981;11(2):37-40
The electrocardiography was performed to the 95 patients(58 male, 37 female) with chronic anemia in Department of Internal Medicine, Busan City Hospital, Busan University Hospital, Busan paik Hospital In-Je Medical College, Busan korea between April 1978 and March 1981. The hemoglobin levels were 4 Gm%-10Gm%, and the symptoms such as dizziness, palpitation, weakness, and appetite loss were continued for 6 months or more. The results were as following: 1. The abnormal electrocardiographic changes were observed in 49 of the 95 chronic anemic patients. 2. Prolonged QTc interval was observed in 12(12.6%) of 95 cases, depressed ST segment in 48(50.5%), inverted T wave in 32(33.7%), LVH in 31(32.6%), low voltage in 5(5.3%), and Rt. B.B.B. in 5(5.3%). 3. In the Hb level of 4.0~5.9Gm% 20% of the total 95 patients revealed prolonged QTc interval, 86.7% depressed ST segment, 40% inverted T wave, 20% LVH, 6.7% Rt. B.B.B., in the Hb level of 6.0~7.9Gm 10.6% prolonged QTc interval, 39.3% depressed St segment, 42.9% inverted T wave, 39.3% LVH, 3.6% low voltage and in the Hb level of 8.0-9.9Gm% 11.5% prolonged QTc interval, 46.1% depressed ST segment, 27% inverted T wave, 32.7% LVH and 7.7% low voltage.

LVPWTh was increased in 4.4% of borderline hypertensive group, 26.9% of definite hypertension group and 30.2% of hypertensive heart disease group. Symmetrical septal hypertrophy was noted in 5.1% of borderline hypertension group, 20.1% of definite hypertension group and 32.1% of hypertensive heart disease group. Total septal or left ventricular posteior wall hypertrophy was noted in 17(21.8%) of 78 borderline hypertension group, 154(89.8%) of definite hypertension group and 51(93.9%) of 55 hypertensive heart disease group.

A 20-year-old female, who had been treated with topical PUVA therapy for her vitiligo, developed characteristic skin lesions of disseminated superficial artiric porokeratosis(DSAP). All of her three sisters had vitiligo and had been treated with topica PUVA, hut only one developed DSAP lesion. Her mother had had DSAP lesions on expcsec areas for 20 years. DSAP shows an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance, and is charaterized by multiple ciark brownish keratotic papaules surrounded by slightly elevatied order. The exacerbation of the lesion by exposure t.o UV lignt indicates that the regulatingene for DSAP is related to sunlight. 1-lerein we reported a case of DSAP induced by topica] PUVA therapy in one patient during management of familial vitiligo in 3 sisters.

A 50-year-old female, who had been suffered from diabetes rielitus, showed typical cutaneous findinhs of dermatomyositis with only transient and mild proximal muscle weakness at sometime during the course of disease. She had Gottrons papules, Gottrons sign, heliotrope rash, macular violsceous erythema involving neck, anterior chest, back, extensor site of forearms and arms and dorsa of hands. However, he serum CPK, LDH and sGOP levels were within normal limits. Her fasting and 2 hours potprandial blood glucose levels were elevated. There were no histological abnormality in muscle biopsy. Histopathologic findigs of the skin lesion on her back were that of poikiloderma atrophicans vasculare. We diagnosed our patient as Rebeccas type 2 amyopathic dematomyositis which is chracterized by skin disease with subjective myalgias and musle weakness, but without laboratory evidence of muscle disease.

A case of circular eczematous dermatitis around seborrheic keratosis was presented. A 54-year-old man presented with two weeks history of a round pruritic eruption around a preexisting lesion of seborrheic keratosis. Microscopic findings showed central tumor nest composed mainly of basaloid cells with occasional spongtosis and exocytosis. A diffuse, dense, mononuclear cell infiltrate with increased contents of melanophages was seen beneath the tumor. The surrounding lesion of halo dermatitis showed mild dilatation of the capillaries and perivascular infiltration of mononuclear cells in the upper and mid-dermis. The lesion of halo dermatitis disappeared gradually over a three week period following excision of the central lesion. This peculiar phenomenon seemed to be different from that of Suttons halo nevus, and might be a manifestation of an eczematous condition which might have a dermatitis provoking factor.

Erythema multiforme can be induced by various causes, including infections like virus or fungus, drugs like sulfonamides and penicillins, internal malignences, connective tissue diseases, pregnancy, menstruation, and exoessive sun exposure ramoxone, one of the paraquat dichloride compounds, is the most commonly used weed-kiIler in Korea. It is sometimes used in suicides due to its fatal toxicity, and even weak transutaneous absorption can lead to death. Herein we report a case of erythema multiform in a 46-year-old man induced by accidental contact with the Gramoxone

Korean Journal of Dermatology 1993;31(2):245-248
Twenty-nail dystrophy is a rare entity in which all 20 nail are uniformly and simultaneously affected with excess longitudinal ridging and loss of luster. This condition is thought to be idiopathic but, many cases are associated with alopecia areata, lichen planus, psoriasis, and ichthyosis. In such cases, it has been hypothesized that immunplogical disorders could play a role in pathogenesis. A 29-year-old male patient presented with dystrophic nail chatge on his all finger and toe nails for 3 years. On phisical examination, all nails were uniformly affected with longitudinal ridging and loss of luster and all body hairs were lost. Thyroid scan showed a finding of chronic thyroiditis. Herein we report a case of twenty-nail dystrophy associated with chronic thyroiditis and alopecia areata.

Acromelanosis progressiva is a peculiar progressive pigmentary disorder characterized by intensely dark and sharply demarcated hyperpigmentation over the dorsa of fingers and toes, and the pigmentation rapidly spread proximally. A 19-year-old female had sharply demarcated symmetric dark aroarn macules on the dorsa of her hands and feet, forearms, lower legs, face and neck. These pigmentations at first appeared at the age of 5 on the dorsa of her fingers and toes, thereafter these pigmertatons spread progressively to the proximal portion of her body. Histologically, a proliferation of mela biocyte at the epidermal-dermal junction was seen, associated with mild hyperkeratosis. She was othervise normal on physical examination and had no family historv of consanguinity.
