BACKGROUND: Nitric oxide(NO), a multifunctional mediator, is known as a endothelium-derived relaxing factor, a neurotransmitter, and a killer molecule formed by activated immune cells and participates in tissue destruction via apoptosis. In the skin, an increase in apoptotic cells has been desribed in the epidermis in various lichenoid diseases, in response, to ultraviolet radiation, and in neoplasia. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to investigate whether a positive correlation occurs between iNOS(inducible nitric oxide synthase) expression and apoptosis index in psoriasis vulgaris(PV), lichen planus(LP), and Bowen's disease(BD). METHODS: TUNEL staining and immunohistochemical staining with anti-iNOS antibody were done in paraffin-embedded tissue sections of 4 cases of PV, 4 cases of LP, and 2 cases of BD.

We report a case of eosinophilic pustular folliculitis in a 42-year-old woman who had atypical clinical findings with moderately pruritic erythematous follicular papules and pustules on the face and neck. Histopathologically miny eosinophils and neutrophils infiltrated around the follicles, within the follicles and around tbe vessels. The follicular walls showed spongiosis. The differential count of eosinophils in seram was 1.9%. The patient responded well to systemic steroid and dapsone.

Traditionally, it has been emphasized that hemolytic disease was the primary cause of gallstones (cholelithiasis) in most young patients. In recent years, gallstones and common bile duct calculi have been increasingly diagnosed in infants and children, unrelated to hemolytic diseases. On the matter, the World Health Organization (WHO) classified intraepithelial neoplasia (dysplasia) of gall bladder as one of the precursor lesions of invasive cancer. The following article describes the case of a 2-year-old girl who had a laparoscopic cholecystectomy due to cholelithiasis and the pathologic diagnosis was chronic cholecystitis with diffuse, mild mucosal dysplasia.

From January 1971 to December 1980 the authors observed 165 cases of chronic ulcers of the extrernities in the Department of Dermatology, Chonnam University Hospital. The results obtained can be summarized as follows. 1) During this period, the mean average percent of ulcer patients seen was 0.41 of the yearly total patients. 2) The ages of onset was quite varied with the highest group in the 5th decade. The ratio of men to women was 2.93: 1. 3) The most common predilection site was right lower extremity. 4) Leprosy, especially T-type, was the most comrnon underlying disease.
