1.A statistical analysis of dermatoses in west Gyeongsangnamdo area (1987-1990).
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1991;29(3):399-406
The authors reviewed 7,065 new outpatients who visited the dermatology clinic of Gyeongsang National University Hospital in Chinju from Jan. 1st, 1987 to Dee. 31st, 1990 to study the prevalence of common dermatoses in this region as compared to other regions in Korea, The results suggest that age, sex, monthly and yearly distribution patterns around Chinju are similar to those of other areas in Korea except for higher prevalences of vitiligo, psoriasis, alopecia, and for lower prevalences of scabies, insect bites, and syphilis.

Two cases of congenital multiple joint laxity are reported here. One was a 18-year-old boy, in whom the hypermobility of the joints was striking that 4 criterias (Carter & Wilkinson, 1964) could be observed. The other was a 18-year-old male who showed positive findings in three of the five diagnostic criterias. In both no familiar occurrence was noted.

To ease the convinience of indentification of common dermatophytes in Korea and to check the possibility of diseovering new species not yet reported in Korea, several species of dermatophytes were cultured on potato dextrose agar(PDA) at the room temperature. They were 46 strains isolated from Korea and 6 domestic strains from a foreign country. Gross and microscopic findings of their colonies were examined. The colonial morphology and microscopic appearance were compared with those of the same strains on Sabouraud dextrose agar(SDA) and corn meal agar(CMA). The results were as follows Typical T. rubrum and its varisnts showed characteristic wine red pigmentation which was rapid, diffuse and uniform, typically arrsnged microconidia were better on PDA. T. mentagrophytes showed yellow-brown pigmentation which were more rapid and darker in the center with gradual fading to the periphery. The mscroconidia, grape-like clusters of microconidia and spiral hyphae were seen better on SDA. T. tonsurans showed characteristic mahogsny colored pigmentation, ballooned microconidia and macroconidia which were seen better on PDA, but diffusible pigmentation of agar were present on SDA only. The gross morphology of T. verracosum were similar on PDA and SDA, but macroconidia were seen better on PDA and CMA, and tortuous hyphae with antler-like branching were seen better on SDA. T. rnegninii showed green-brown pigmentation which appeared rapidty and prominently on PDA. T. rubrum-like microconidia were seen better on PDA and CMA, but in SDA only hyphae were seen. The gross morpholgy of M. canis was similar on PDA and SDA, but spindle shaped macroconidia were seen more typically on PDA. The gross morphology and microscopic appearance of M. gypseum were very similar in all three media. M. ferruginenm showed characteristic rust colored pigmentation and bamboo hyphae which were seen more typically on PDA. The gross morphalogy of E floceosum were similar on PDA and SDA, but cluster formation of club shaped macroconidia were seen more prominently on PDA and CMA. These findings suggest that PDA is a mare convincing media t6Cifferentiate among dermatophytes belonging to genus Trichopkyton.

Journal of the Korean Society for Vascular Surgery 2006;22(1):44-47
A 76-years old man with a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm underwent an emergency abdominal aortic replacement with artificial graft. The patient developed abdominal compartment syndrome at the day of the operation and he received secondary decompression operation the next day. At 45 hours after the second operation the patient was returned to operation room to close the abdominal fascia, and sigmoid colon necrosis was found so we performed sigmoid colectomy with colostomy. After 22 days from the last operation, the abdominal wound was closed completely and the patient was discharged at the 42nd postoperative day with a colostomy state. We report here on this complex case together with a review of the recent articles.

Journal of the Korean Pediatric Society 2000;43(6):755-762
PURPOSE: H. pylori infection was recently reported to be associated with unexplained iron-deficiency anemia(IDA) in children and adolescents. H. pylori-related IDA was thought to occur due to GI blood loss, scavenging of iron by H. pylori and iron malabsorption. The aim of this study was to examine how the status of H. pylori infection and age of children affected RBC indices, serum iron level and TIBC. METHODS: We performed esophagogastroduodenoscopy, and examined RBC indices, serum iron and TIBC on 178 pediatric patients with recurrent abdominal pain. H. pylori infection was assessed by CLO test and silver stain of gastric biopsy specimen. RESULTS: H. pylori infection was found in 42 of 178 patients(23.6%). In children with H. pylori infection, the prevalence of iron deficiency(ID) and IDA(39.0% and 10.3%, respectively) was higher than in children without H. pylori infection(29.6% and 4.1%, respectively), but there was no statistically significant difference. Serum iron level was lower(69.5+/-32.7 vs 77.3+/-34.1g/dL; P= 0.08) and TIBC was higher(380.8+/-50.4 vs 366.9+/-47.0g/dL; P=0.09) in children with H. pylori infection than in children without H. pylori infection. All RBC indices and iron saturation were lower in children with H. pylori infection than in children without H. pylori infection, but there was no significant difference between the two groups. In correlation analysis, serum iron, Hgb, Hct, MCV and MCH were significantly increased by age in children without H. pylori infection (P<0.05), but MCH and MCHC were decreased significantly(P<0.05) by age in children with H. pylori infection. In multiple regression analysis, the change of serum iron, MCH and MCHC by age was significantly influenced by the status of H. pylori infection(P<0.05). CONCLUSION: H. pylori infection decreases RBC indices and serum iron and increases TIBC in children. These changes become prominent as age increases. This age effect rnay be related to the duration of H. pylori infection. (J Korean Pediatr Soc 2000;43:755-762)

Primary tumors of the heart are rare, and one-third of them are malignant. The most common malignant intracardiac tumor is angiosarcoma, which usually involves right atrium. MR features in one patients with right atrial angiosarcoma is presented and the literature briefly reviewed. Angiosarcoma demonstrated slightly heterogeneous intermediate signal intensity on T1-weighted images, high signal intensity on T2-weighted images and higher signal intensity on Gd-DTPA enhanced images. MRI provided more information regarding the extent of the tumor than 2D echocardiography or CT.

We report two cases of recurrent BCC in a 51- year-old woman and a 39-year-old woman which had been misdiagnosed aind treated as pigrnented nevi. Complete surgical resections were done followed by reconstruction using local rhombic transposition flaps. Final cosmetic results were excellent and no local recurrence was noticed during one year follow-up.

We report two cases of Darier's disease improved with Etretmate in the 44-year-old father and his 18-year-old son. Clinically, multiple dirty brownish, verrucous, discrete or confluent papules and plaques were noted on their back, abdomen, and face. Histopathologically, both of them demonstrated hyperkeratosis, suprabasal acantholysis, acantholytic cells in the lacunae, corpsronds, grains, and dyskeratotic cells. Oral Etretinate 30mg daily was given in both cases with remakable improvement 3 weeks after treatment. Six months later, they showed almost total clearin, of their skin lesions. No specific adverse effect was noted. There has been no evidence of recurrence for 6 months follow up period.

A 29-year-old woman had multiple, umbilicated papules on her fingers for 2 months. Skin biopsy specimen showed transepidermal perforation filled with plug of cellular debris, degenerated collagen and mucinous material. In the dermis, there were necrobiosis and peripheral palisading of mononuclear cells. Special stainings including masson's trichrome, alcian blue, acid orcein, and PAS showed necrobiotic collagen fibers and acid mucopolysaccharides on the necrobiotic zone and trasepidermal elimination canal. Topical application of 0.05% Clobetasol-17-propionate ointment improved her lesion.
