To evaluate the clinical usefulness of a newly developed beta-one selective blocker. Betaxolol hydrochloride(Betoptice(R)), seven patients(14 eyes) with primary open-angle glaucoma who were instilled twice a day with a drop of 0.5% Betoptic were enrolled in this study. Intraocular pressure(IOP), systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate and pupil size were measured with the evaluation on the local adverse reaction before and after the Betoptic treatment of 1, 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks. The following results were obtained: 1. Significant reduction of IOP was noted at all intervals examined after the treatment of 0.5% Betoptic and it had the additive effect on pilocarpine. 2. The systemic side reaction of Betoptic on either pulse rate or blood pressure was not significant and pupil size was not changed by Betoptic. 3. The local transient and mild stinging sensation with tearing was followed after the instillation of 0.5% Betoptic eye solution.

We have experienced automated and computerized perimetry using a Humphrey Field Analyzer in our Glaucoma Services. To evaluate its clinical efficacy, we report the results of the Armaly central field screening test in comparison with those of central 30-2 threshold test of the Humphrey Field Analyzer. One hundred fortythree eyes of 83 cases of normotensives, ocular hypertensives and glaucoma patients with open-angle or narrow-angle were enrolled in this study. Fiftyfour out of 61 patients (88.5%) and 73 out of 81 eyes (90.1 %) with visual field defect were detected by the screening test of the Humphrey Field Analyzer. Eight out of 81 eyes (9.9%) with visual field defect detected by the screening test were confirmed as false positive. All points of false positive were solitary, which tended to occur more frequently on superior vusual field. False negative of 8 eyes (12.9%) detected by the screening test were confirmed by the threshold test. The point of false negative was more frequent on superior field and showed to locate more peripherally from the fixation point. There was no significant difference in either central sensitivity or age of the false ring.

The nevus of Ota is a benign dermal melanocytic lesion that most commonly occurs unilaterally in areas innervated by the first and second division of the trigeminal nerve. Acquired bilateral nevus of Ota-like macules(ABNOM) are located bilaterally on the forehead, temples, eyelids, cheeks, and/or nose. They usually occur in the fourth or fifth decade of life in women(rarely in men). In contrast to the nevus of Ota, ABNOM have not been observed in the mucous membranes of the oral cavity, nose, or eyes. Traditional treatments were palliative, risky electrocautery, or cryotherapy. These methods resulted in permanent pigmentary changes and/or scarring. Recently utilizing the principle of selective photothermolysis, the Q-switched Alexandrite laser has been reported to be successful in treating benign pigmentary lesions and tattoos. Our study evaluated the treatment of 127 patients with nevus of Ota and ABNOM with the Q-switched Alexandrite laser(755 nm, 100 nsec). Nevi were treated up to 7 times with 7-8 J/cm2 at a minimum of 6 weeks interval. Good therapeutic effects were gained (up to 50% improvement was seen in 89% of patients.) and our patients were very satisfied. No patients had permanent textural change or scarring. Treatment with on Alexandrite laser for nevus of Ota & ABNOM is considered to be a safe and effective method.

A various type of hairline and height of forehead is considered as a result of genetic effect. The conventional corrective surgical operation of low hairline in forehead has been too complicated and painful to apply, and also has many disadvantages such as scar, bleeding, risks of anesthesia. Recently four classes of devices are designed to remove hair with intense light beam : Nd-Yag lasers with carbon cream, the Ruby lasers, the Alexandrite lasers, and the polychromic broad band light source of flashlamp technology. The goal of these therapeutic modality is to destroy the melanin pigment selectively in hair follicle without injuring the skin for permanent epilation. We have been used long pulse infrared Alexandrite laser for treat low hair line in 27 patients from Dec. 1997 to Dec. 1998. We experienced 3 cases of temporary hyperpigmentation and 1 case of bulla, and the most of patients were satisfied in 89%. The average lengthening of forehead was 2.2cm (median line) and 2.3cm (paramedian line). We achieved successful result without permanent hyperpigmentation or scarring

Syphilis was known to be generalized disease and it had been decreased until 1960's. But, it has been increased again recently. The author analysed the 22 cases of congenital syphilis which were treated at department of orthopaedic surgery at Ewha Womans University Hospital from Jan. 1979 to July 1983 and the following results were obtained. 1. There were no significant changes of the number of patient by years. 2. Common symptom and sign were hepatosplenomegaly(84%), fever(62%) and skin changes(50%), and pseudoparalysis was observed in one case. 3. Radiologic bone changes were observed in 11 cases (50%) and the following results were obtained: a. Below the two week old, there was relatively low incidence of bone change with 22%. b. There was high incidence of bone change in prematurity with 75%. c. Common features of bone changes were periosteal reaction, osteochondritis and metaphysitis (91%). Pathologic fracture was observed. in one case. 4. Although we have observed the bone changes only in 50% of cases, all the other reports has reported more than 80% and we thought that radiologic bone change would aid the diagnosis of congenital syphilis.

To evaluate its clinical efficacy, we report the results of Armaly central field screening test in comparison with those of central 30-2 threshold test of Humphrey Field Analyzer. In 83 cases of normotensives, ocular hypertensives, and glaucoma patients with open-angle or narrow-angle enrolled in this study, a total of 143 eyes were examined. Fifty-four out of 61 patients (88.5%) and 73 out of 81 eyes (90.1%) with visual field defects were detected by the Humphrey Field Analyzer screening test. Eight eyes out of 81(9.9%) with visual field defects detected by the screening test were confirmed as false positive. All points of false positive were solitary, which tended to occur more frequently on superior visual field. A false negative of eight eyes out of 62 (12.9%) detected by the screening test was confirmed by the threshold test, which was more frequent on superior field and shown to be located more peripherally from the fixation point. There was no significant difference in either central sensitivity or age of the false positive and negative.
