A 51-year-old man had small, tender, skin colored firm nodule on the helix of the both ears for eight months. He was found to have classic features of chondrodermatitis nodularis chronica helicis, namely, tender nodule less than 1 cm in length with central crusting, localization to helix, age, men, and histologic findings. The histologic examination of the biopsy specimen showed the presence of thinned epiderrnis on center. acanthosis on the adjacent epidermis, with hyperkeratosis and parakeratosis, and cleft between epidermis and dermis. In the dermis, highly vascularized connective tissue and chronic inflarnmatory infiltrate were visible with perichondrial fibrosis. Elastic tissue stain showed degeneration of elastic fibers. After complete excision, no recurrence was obsered until now.

A 51-year-old female had disseminated, symmetrically distributed, brownish black pigmentation and papillary hypertrophy on the intertriginous and flexural areas for 6 months, and gastric adenocarcinoma was confirmed during the evaluation of internal malignancy, The cutaneous finding of acanthosis nigricans was a significant cutaneous marker of internal malignancy in this case.

One patient is a 6-year old female, who has had intensely pruritic linear papuloplaque.", on the left side of the perineal and perianal areas for three years. The other patient, is a. 23-year old male, who has had iritensely pruritic linear papuloplagues on the left upper extremity. This condition started at 1 month of life. In both cases, microscopie examination of the lesions showed psoriasiform and eczematoid appearance. In the latter case, spongioform pustule and Munro's microabscess were also found. We believe that these cases probably represent instances of the entity that. Altman and Mehregan have called inflammatory linear verrueous epidermal nevus, and unusual clinical feature in our patients was the involvement of the left groin in case 1 and of the left upper extremity in case II, which are somewhat rare sites of involvement.

Zinc sulfate, which was used as zinc sulfate ophthalmic solution in herpetic keratitis, has been found to have the therapeutic effects in cutaneous and mucosal herpes simplex. We studied ta evaluate the therapeutic effect of zinc sulfate in patients with herpes simplex. Nine patients with primary herpes simplex and twenty five patient with recurrent herpes simplex were included in this study. Twenty five patients(six with primary type and nineteen with recurrent type were treated with topical applicatiion of 0.3% zinc sulfate solutiion seven to eight times a day and nine patients(three with primary type and six with recurrent type)were applied with placebo vehicle in the same way. Maintenance treatment was then given tc all these patients, first once a week for one month, and then twice a month indefinitely. The effect was assessed by the comparison of the duration of disappearance of symptoms, drying of vesicles and crust formation, and desiccation and sloughing-off of cursts, and recurrence rate between zine sulfat,e group and placebo group. The resuilts were summarized as follows : 1. In the average time of the disappearance of symptoms, drying of vesicles and crust formation, a,nd desiccation and sloughing-off of crusts, the resu1t observecl in zinc, sulfate group was shorter than that of placebo group, respectively ( p < 0.01). 2. In recurrence rate, 11.1% observed in zinc sulfate group was much lower than 80.0%i in placebo group(p . 0.01). These findings suggest that topical zinc sulfate is an effective agent for treatment and prevention of recurrence af herpes simplex infection.

Hyperglycemia is a well-recognized side effect of L-asparaginase in remission induction therapy of acute lymphocytic leukemia. Since hyperglycemia has preceded fatal diabetic ketoacidosis or hyperosmotic nonketotic coma in some patients, early detection and treatment of this complication are important. We determined retrospectively the risk of hyperglycemia in 117 patients with leukemia who had received L-asparaginase (& prednisolone). The results were as follows: 1) Twenty (17%) of the 117 patients developed hyperglycemia. 2) Of 47 female patients, 13 developed hyperglycemia, contrast with only 7 of 70 male patients(P<0.05). 3) All 2 obese patients developed hyperglycemia, contrast with 18 of 115 non obese patients (P<0.05). 4) Of 16 patients with a history of previous administration of L-asparaginase 6 (42%) developed hyperglycemia, contrast with only 14 (11%) of the remaining 101 patients (P<0.05). 5) Of the remaining factors analyzed-age, leukocyte counts, family history, dose of L-asparaginase-non had a statistically important influence on the development of hyperglycemia. 6) The mean glucose concentration at onset was 355+/-197.5mg/dl in patient who developed hyperglycemia with peak concentration of 404+/-253.6mg/dl. Hyperglycemia developed between 3 to 20 days after administration of L-asparaginase, and the duration of hyperglycemia was 6.90+/-5.54 days. Since hyperglycemia developed inevitably in a certain proportion of patients given L-asparaginase, we recommend blood glucose monitoring in patients with the risk factors.

Journal of the Korean Pediatric Society 1993;36(9):1320-1324
Acute suppurative thyroiditis is uncommon in children. The relative rarity of thyroid infection is thought to reflect its complete fibrous encapsulation, generous vascular and lymphatic supply and high local iodine level. The bacterial involvement include the normal oropharyngeal microflora, and broad spectrum antibiotic therapy including anaerobic coverage should be utilized initially. We have experienced three cases of acute suppurative throiditis. All of them had painfull swelling on anterior cervical area and diagnosed by clinical and radiological features. Since two of them occured repeatedly, we report with brief review of literatures.

We presented a case of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome(ED syndrome) in s 21-year- old male, who had hyperextensibility of skin, skin fragility, and cigarette paperlike atrophic scars with no joint problems since infancy. There was a family history which was suggestive of autosomal dominant trait. Microscopic examination of the skin biopsy specimen from the normal appearing skin on the right forearm showed no abnormal appearance. In this case the manifestations of skin including marked hyperextensibility might be in accord with type I (gravis) ED syndrome, but the joint manifestation did not correspond to this type. It might be hard to classify this case according to the eleven types of ED syndrome. Wed rather consider this case as a. mixed form of type I and type Il ED syndrome.

As a new concept of resistive exercise, isokinetic exercise was developed during the early 1950's. In isokinetic exercise, the subject works at a fixed speed against variable and totally accommodating resistance. The isokinetic equipment has been used widely as a therapeutic modality in clinical setting, as a training and testing device for sports practicians, and as a method for scientific examination of postoperative status of muscles and joint function for orthopedists. In order to acquire the isokinetic normative data of the knee for clinical use, we examined the flexor and extensor muscle force of the knee joint in 160 subjects with Cybex II. The results were as follows; 1. Mean values of extensor strength were 76.04 ft.-1bs in right knee 75.45 ft.-lbs in left knee, 78.42 ft.-1bs in dominent hand side leg 73.84 ft.-1bs in non-dominent hand side leg, and 82.52 ft.-1bs in dominent leg 71.93 ft.-lbs in non-dominent leg. 2. Sex difference of extensor strength were 95.13 ft.-lbs in male 55.98 ft.-1bs in female, and that of flexor strength were 54.90 ft.-1bs in male 33.68 ft.-1bs in female. 3. Mean of position angle of maximal torque were between 58° and 65° for extensors, 35° and 45° for flexors. 4. Mean of total range of motion at working isokinetically with 60°/sec speed was 99°. 5. Mean values of extensor power were 54.43 ft.-1bs in male 30.63 ft.-lbs in female, and that of flexor power were 35.99 ft.-1bs in male 22.42 ft.-1bs in female. 6. Strength and power decreased as ages getting old, and there was significant diminish between 4th decade and 5th decade. 7. Power endurance had more difference when it was compared with occupation. Mean value of power endurance was between 12 times and 18 times.
