BACKGROUNDS: A stroke is a disease of the nervous system which is accompanied by important chronic disabilities and emotional disorders. These disabilities causes loss of sensation(diminished basic movement). METHODS: Sensation rehabilitation therapy through Activities of Daily Living(ADL) Training is necessary. Reports show that patients who receive occupational therapy in the early stages have an extremely high rate of recovery in the early stages. It is important for a occupational therapist to provide continued reha- bilitative treatment to, enable the patient to accomplish Activities of Daily Living Training independently by treating everything from sustaining posture in bed to normal movement and improvement in sensory perception. occupational therapy refers to the `use of self` of a occupational therapist to help the patient overcome difficulties and increase abilities of the patients by applying knowledge, skill, care and basic patient merits. RESULTS: A occupational therapist must have the basic knowledge, self-confidence and individual skills for a systematic program of therapy in order to be able to communicate with the patient and increase the effectiveness of the therapy. CONCLUSION: This study showed that therapy for patients who received therapy soon after diagnosis of stroke showed to be greatly effective. A deeper study must be done in order to increase effectiveness of occupational therapy methods such as the NDT(treatment to improve normal movement sensation) and SI method(treatment to increase sensitivity of perceptive movement and to give the ability to position objects according to shape and location).

Acquired multiple cavernous hemangiomatosis appear on the skin and internaI organs, including in particular the skeleton, the brain and the liver in childhood or in adult life in the 4th and 5th decades. It is extremely rare for cutaneous hemangiomas associated with internal lesions to arise de novo in adults. The lesions persist indefinitely and symptom-free survival to old age is possible, despite the presence of hemangiomatosis in liver, heart or kidney. A 53 year-old male patient had multiple, non-tender, bluish to violet colored. pea to walnut sized, cutaneous, some pedunculated nodules on the entire body for 8 years. Histopathologically, there were non-capsulated vascuiar tumor consisting of large variable sized blood vessels in the dermis and some organizing thrombi. There was no evidence of malinant change.

Ninety black C 57 BL mice were divided into control and photochemotherapy groups. Control group was subdivided into a UVA 1rradiation only subgroup and a khellin only administration subgroup, while the phototherapy group was subdivided into one TMP and two khellin administration subgroups with dosages of 1.5mg/kg, 5mg/kg and 20mg/kg, respectivly. UVA was administered three thimes a week in a dose of 4J/cm for 4 weeks. Skin biopsies were taken at 0, l, 2, 3 and 4 weeks and the split DOPA stain was employed to observe pigment production. The number, size and circumference of the melanocytes were assessed. In summary, our results inclicate that khellin, which is slightly less effective than TMP at the same effective dose, is quite effective for pigment production and the degree of the production is dose related.

Report. about numeric change of LC between vitiliginous skin(VS) and adjacent normal appering skin (ANAS) are hard to find, Epidermal Langerhans Cell (LC) dersities in VS and ANAS were studied in 18 patient with generalized vitiligo. Adenosine triphosphatase(ATPase) stain was used to characterize LC. Epidermal LC densities were calculated by means of an eye piece reticule and expressed per mm. The results were as follows; 1. The was significant body site variation of LC densities in ANAS and the range of densities of LC per mm were from 668+165 to 1,241 _3 and the mean density of LC per mm was 944+258. 3. The LC densities of VS was similar to that of ANAS(p: not significant). In conclusion quantiative change of epidermal LC in vitiligo doesn't seem to have significant relation with pathogenesis of vitiligo.

A 13 years old girl came to our department with complaints of multiple ulcerating and non-ulcerating nodules on her back and buttocks since 1 month prior to visit. Skin biopsy specimen showed diffuse monomorphous infiltration of leukemic cells in the dermis and subcutis. Bone marrow biopsy specimen showed changes of erythroleukemia. Treatment was initiated with combined chemotherapy which was a combination of cytosine arabinoside, adriamyein and 6 thioguanine. When combined chemotherapy was finished, she was in complete remission state and the nodules cured after 1 month of combined chemotherapy.

A total of 197 cases of fungal infections in biopsy specimens obtained from the pathology file of the Department of Pathology, Seoul National University Hospital, for a period of 28 years from 1960 to 1987 were studied by histopathologic investigations with analysis of clinical records. The following results are obtained; 1) While most fungal infections increased in number, annual relative frequency of them were between 0.1% and 0.2%. 2) Among 197 cases of fungal infections, deep-seated mycosis was 175 cases (88.8%). Aspergillosis was the most common mycosis, accounting for 29.4 percent. 3) The age and sex distribution of fungal infection was even throughout the ages, but it was more common in age group over fifty, and the male was more frequently affected than the female. 4) Aspergillosis was encountered in 58 cases (29.4%) and the preferred localization was the lung. The candidiasis was seen in 48 cases (24.4%) and the preferred localization of cryptococcosis was lymph node and skin.
