1.A Clinical and Mycological Study of Cutaneous Candidiasis.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1985;23(3):314-320
This survey was done on 79 out-patients in order to investigate the present status of cutaneous candidiasis in clinical and mycological aspects in dermatologic clinic of Korea University Hospital from January, 1982 to July1983. Among the 79 specimens, 56 strains of candida species were identified by KOli mount, Sabourauds dextrose agar culture, sugar assimilation test, sugar fermentation test a.nd corn meal agar with Tween 80 culture. Following results were obtained. 1. The incidence of cutaneous candiasis was l. 6A (79 cases among 4, 963 outpatients). 2. The cutaneous candidiasis was more frequent in fcmale than in male(1: 1. 7) 3. The cutaneous candidiasis had its highest in.cidence during first decade (45 .6%). 4 Candidal intertrigo was the commonest type of the infection (51. 9%,) 5. Thrush, diaper candidiasis and candidal intertrigo were common during first. decade, and candidal paronychia and candidal onychia were common during third decade. 6, Positive rate on KOH mount was 60. 8% Nail (38. 5%) and periungal area (42.9%) should low positive rate. 7. Positive culture rate on Sabourauds dextrose agar of Candida species was 70. 9% (56 cases). 8 Candida species isolated from cutaneous lesions were Candida albicans (52 case) and Candida trapicalis(2 cases). Two species could not be identified.

Verrucous carcinoma, a distinct variant of well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma, was originally described as an entity by Ackerman. This histologically benign lesion features relentless local growth and little tendency to metastasize. The commonest location of verrucous carcinoma is the oral cavity. Less frequently, the tumor originates in the squarnous mucosa, skin of the genitalia(glans penis, vulava, vagina, scroturn and perineum), nasal fossa, the larynx or the sole. Now we report a case of verrucous carcinoma developed on the retroauricular area in a 49-year-old man. He was treated by surgical excision followed by skin graft. This appears to be the first reported case arising on the retroauricular area.

Subcorneal pustular dermatosis is a chronic, benign, relapsing pustular eruptions characterized histologically by subcorneal pustules which contain abundant neutrophils. We report a case of subcorneal pustular dermatosis occured in a 71-year-old male with typical climcal lesions. Biopsy of a pustule showed a subcorneal cavity with numerous neutrophils, which were also scattered throughout the Malpighian layer below. The result of imrnunofluorescent studies was negative. His eruption is controlled by DDS (25-100mg daily) but the eruptions recur quickly on sessation of the drug.

BACKGROUND: Though implant dentistry is very successful and predictable in treatment of patients with destroyed dentition, there are some cases with limitations to implant therapy. In these cases, alternative treatment modality should be considered. CASE DESCRIPTION: A patient with destroyed dentition was rehabilitated with a lateral rotational path removable partial denture. According to the diagnosis, we determined to raise vertical dimension for esthetic and functional restoration. The final restoration was performed after four months of provisional period. CLINICAL IMPLICATION: The edentulous patients with compromised esthetics and functions can be successfully treated with a rotational path removable partial denture through adequate treatment planning and precise laboratory procedure.

BACKGROUND: In order to restore severely attrited teeth properly, surgical intervention in the form of a crown-lengthening procedure may be required. And also, proper diagnosis and treatment sequencing is critical to obtain a successful results. Adequate diagnostic wax-up ensures good esthetics and healthy periodontal tissue. CASE DESCRIPTION: This clinical case report describes a diagnostically based protocol for restoration on mandibular anterior teeth with crown lengthening procedure and the treatment of partially edentulous mandible combined with an edentulous maxilla. In addition, the effort to prevent the combination syndrome was described. CLINICAL IMPLICATION: An interdisciplinary diagnosis and examination through visualization of the desired results ensure conservative and more predictable outcome.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: The aim of this study was to study the effects of various surface treatments to a titanium surface on the expression of Runx2 in vitro. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Human Osteosarcoma TE-85 cells were cultured on machined, sandblasted, or anodic oxidized cpTi discs. At various times of incubation, the cells were collected and then processed for the analysis of mRNA expression of Runx2 using reverse transcription-PCR. RESULTS: The expression pattern of Runx2 mRNA was differed according to the types of surface treatment. When the cells were cultured on the untreated control culture plates, the gene expression of Runx2 was not increased during the experiments. In the case of that the cells were cultured on the machined cpTI discs, the expression level was intermediate at the first day, but increased constitutively to day 5. In cells on sandblasted cpTi discs, the expression level was highest in the first day sample and the level was maintained to 5 days. In cells on anodized cpTi discs, the expression level increased rapidly to 3 days, but decreased slightly in the 5-th day sample. CONCLUSION: Different surface treatments may contribute to the regulation of osteoblast function by influencing the level of gene expression of key osteogenic factors.

Studies on epidemiological aspects of contact dermatitis have been published in recent years since the introduction of standardized method of patch test.However, most previous epidemiologic reports studied patients with allergic contact dermatitis in hospitals with patcb testing. Such data are not directly applicable to the population at large. Very recentiy there are a few reports ahout rates of exposure and patch test reactivity to certain antigens in a general population. which is difficult to be applicable in a developing country at present. With regard to this, we have tried to analyze the contact dermatitis questionaire containing various items of common causative agents producting contact dermatitis (for example, metals, cosmetics, plants, medicaments and rubber etc.) for the detection of past contact dermatitis histories in a total new dermatologic outpatients. A11 2258 dermatologic outpatients entered this study including 303 contact dermatitis patients (allergic contact dermatitis, primary irritant dermatitis and housewife eczema). We also analyzed the patch test results of 107 patients with suggesting contact dermatitis who visited our hospital at the same period of collecting questionaires. The study results were as follows. 1. Positive rate of each item of the questionaire (No. of said Yes/ No. of responders) was metals, 10.4% cosmetics, 31.8%, plants, 18.2%; medicaments, 12.4%; rubber, 5.8%; and others, 11.7%. 2. The most common all regens of the patch test positive reactions were nickel sulfate (9.3%), fragrance mix(9.3%), formaldehyde(6.5%), potassium dichromate (5.6%), neomycin sulfate (5.6%), balsam of Peru (4.7%), cobalt chloride(3.7%), wood tar(3.7%) and paraphenylene diamine (2.8%) in order of frequency. And the patch test positive rate of commercial cosmetic products was 10.3%. In conclusion, cosmetics, medicaments, metals, plants and rarely rubber are found the most common etiologic agents of contact dermatitis in this study. The reasons and back-ground of the results were also discussed in various aspects.
