Telangiectasia is characterized by permanently dilated small vessels usually arising from the suprapapillary plexus of venule capillaries, or arterioles. It may be etvlogically divided into the primary and secondary types. Rosacea, varicose vein, prolonged sun xvsure, radiation, and physical trauma may be the causes of secondary telangiectasia. We report herein a case of secondary telangiectasia associated which operation for a femur fracture.

The pathogeoesis of papulonecrotic tuberculid had been thought to be the result of hernatogenous dissemination from primary tuberculous focus of other organs. But, today, the existence of papulonecrotic tuberculid as a rare cutaneous reaction to the Mycobacterium bacillus is questioned. Papulonecrotic tuberculid is, however, a real entity in underdeveloped countries where tuberculosis is more common. We report a case having papulonecrotie tuberculid associated with cervical lymph node tuberculosis confirmed by typical histopathology and by clinical response to antituberculous chemotherapy. This case supports Iden et al's view (1) that skepticism regarding the existence of papulonecrotic tuberculid is probably the result of the current decreased prevalence of untreated tuberculosis and consequently increased rarity of this entity.

Malignant angioendothelioma is an uncommon malignant vascular tumor featuring endothelial cell, and it occurs most frequently in sixth and seventh decade. Most lesions occur over the face and scalp, and may be solitary or multiple, The lesion usally appears as a localized dark red to purplish nodules or plapue with small satellite nodules. Histopatholgic finding shows a nodule eomposed of irregular vascular spaces lined by plump endothelial cells stroma. We present a case of malignant angioendo thelioma on a 42 year-old woman. The patient had purplish nodule with satellite lesions on the right cheek. This case was confirmed by clinical picture, histologic findings and electron microscopic examination.

The brief report of Zeisler (1922) of a pregnant woman with scattered telangiectasia in a unilateral distribution is perhaps the first recorded case of this syndrome. The syndrome has been described in association with pregnancy, puberty, alcoholisrn and cirrhosis, hormonal therapy and congenital status. The authors observed in a 17-year-old male unilateral telangiectatic lesions over the left C, C, C, Tl and T, dermatomal regions. The lesions developed at first at his puberty on the anterior part of the chest as speckled bright red discoloration. Thereafter, the lesion has been progressed to involve the left upper extremity, sholder, upper middle part of the chest, eventually. Family history was negative and physical, lahoratory and X-ray examination were all negative or within normal limit. No mucous membrane involvement was observed. On histopathologic examination of the skin lesion, thin walled ectatic vessels lined with single layer of endothelial cells were observed in the upper dermis. The lesions were partly dermabrased with favorable result.

PURPOSE: We wanted to evaluate the usefulness of three-dimensional reconstructive images using multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) for thoracic traumatic patients visiting emergency room. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 76 patients with fractures of the 105 patients who visited our emergency room with complaints of thoracic trauma were analyzed retrospectively. All the patients had thoracic MDCT performed and the three-dimensional reconstructive images were taken. The fractures were confirmed by axial CT, the clinical information, whole body bone scanning and the multiplanar reformation images. Plain x-ray images were analyzed by the fractured sites in a blind comparison of two radiologists' readings, and then that finding was compared with the axial CT scans and the three-dimensional reconstructive images. RESULTS: The fracture sites were rib (n=68), sternum (n=14), clavicle (n=6), scapula (n=3), spine (n=5) and combined fractures (n=14). Plain x-ray and axial CT scans had a correspondency of 0.555 for the rib fractures. Axial CT scans and the three-dimensional reconstructive images had a correspondency of .952. For sternal fractures, those values were 0.692 and 0.928, respectively. The axial CT scans and three-dimensional reconstructive images showed sensitivities of 94% and 91% for rib and other fractures, respectively, and 93% and 100% for sternal fracture, respectively. Three-dimensional reconstructive image had an especially high sensitivity for the diagnosis of sternal fracture. CONCLUSION: While evaluating thoracic trauma at the emergency room, the three-dimensional reconstructive image was useful to easily diagnose the extent of fracture and it was very sensitive for detecting sternal fracture.

Infantile myofibromatosis with systemic involvement is a very rare disease and is characterized by numerous nodules composed of spindle cells of a myofibroblastic nature. There are often disseminated throughout the subcutis, muscle, skeleton and viscera. We report an autopsy case of infantile myofibromatosis in a stillborn female fetus of 32 weeks of gestation. The nodules, Imm to 2 cm, were found over the whole body and viscera. The involved viscera were the heart, tongue, esophagus, gastrointestinal tract, portal areas of the liver, spleen anc pancreas. There were also associated malformations, viz., frontal meningoencephalocele, flexion defer-mities, syndactyly, cleft palate, agenesis of corpus callosum, pachygyria, diaphragmatic hemia, renal hypoplasia, etc. Multiple basaloid follicular hamartomas of the skin were noted on the face and extremeties. There are no previous reports in the literature of infantile myofibromatosis in conjunction with the above skin lesion and congenital malformations.

The purpose of this study was to explore the nurse satisfaction on changed job process after acquiring Ward- OCS, and offer the data for the strategy of information system applying to organization, the evaluation of medical information system. The data was collected from 214 nurses which using the medical information system, a self-reported survey questionnaire. The results were as follows Age, total career, current ward career, top management support was represented higher relation (r=0.240, 0.235, 0.247, 0.212, p < .01) with job satisfaction. add to that, IT, executives support, organizational alignment experience of computer education was significant(r=0.172, 0.207, 0.135, 0.155, p< .05)In conclusion, for effective using of information system, the proceeding is to be in the middle of ward career nurse, pre-computer education is recommended, and ongoing top management support and IT executives support with linking the ward job is necessary.
