Acromelanosis progressiva is a peculiar progressive pigmentary disorder characterized by intensely dark and sharply demarcated hyperpigmentation over the dorsa of fingers and toes, and the pigmentation rapidly spread proximally. A 19-year-old female had sharply demarcated symmetric dark aroarn macules on the dorsa of her hands and feet, forearms, lower legs, face and neck. These pigmentations at first appeared at the age of 5 on the dorsa of her fingers and toes, thereafter these pigmertatons spread progressively to the proximal portion of her body. Histologically, a proliferation of mela biocyte at the epidermal-dermal junction was seen, associated with mild hyperkeratosis. She was othervise normal on physical examination and had no family historv of consanguinity.

Treatment of femoral shaft fractures in children is varying according to age. Satisfactory results have been obtained with longitudinal skin traction, split Russell traction, ordinary Russell traction, 90-90 skeletal traction, and immediate application of a spica cast(2,4,6,11,15). Most authors use one or more techinques routinely. It is safe and convenient to use single treatment protocol to treat all fractures of same type, Distal femoral skeletal traction with the knee and hip flexed 90 degrees and with the thigh hanging free, using the trunk as counter traction, has been used routinely for femoral shaft fractures in children(age 4-12). We reviewed 30 cases of femoral shaft fractures in children treated with 90-90 skeletal traction. 1. The average age of the patients was 6.8 years(range, 4-12 years), and almost all were caused by pedestrian injury. 2. The average time of traction was 48 days(range, 28-75), and 12 cases(40%) were treated without spica cast application. 3. Four among 30 cases developed angular deformity exceeding acceptable range(15° in AP view, 20° in lateral view), and three of them were proximal third fractures. 4. The older the patient, the longer the duration of limited activity and the more tendency of angular deformity. 5. 90-90 skeletal traction is easy, safe and convenient to treat all femoral shaft fractures of the children between four and ten years old.

The skin is a frequently involved organ in graft-versus-host disease(GVHD). Various skin lesions including erythematous eruption, bullae, desquamation, lichenoid, and sclerodermoid lesions have been reported in GVHD, but vitiligo-like lesions were. We present two cases of chronic GVHD presenting multiple hypopigmented patches following allogenic bone marrow transplant(BMT) due to severe aplastic anemia. The histopathologic studies showed focal vacuolar degeneration of basal cells, absence of melanocytes in the epidermis, and perivascular lymphocytic infiltration consisting of T cells in the upper dermis, These cases suggest that vitiligo-like lesions may develop due to marked melanocyte- lymphocyte interaction after BMT.

Bacteroides fragilis is a Gram negative nonsporulating anaerobic rod bacterium that makes up about 1 to 2% of the norrnal human colonic microflora. In 1984, Myer et al. reported that some strains of B. fragilis produce enterotoxin and cause diarrheal disease in cattle and human. Since then it has been termed enterotoxigenic B. fragilis (ETBF). In this study, we tried to detect enterotoxin gene from 37 B. fragilis strains, isolated in Korean patients, to confirm the existence of ETBF and usefulness of PCR as a rapid diagnosis method. By this method, we identified 9 ETBF strains and confirmed their pathogenesis by cytotoxicity test. No significant cross- reactivity with other anaerobes or aerobes was observed. Thus, the PCR method may be considered useful for the sensitive and rapid detection of anaerobic infections. And the entire amplified PCR mixture was ligated into a pT7Blue T-vector and transformed into E. coli. When the nucleotide sequences of cloned PCR products were compared with reported enterotoxin gene, pBF529 inserted DNA sequence was nearly in good agreement with it but pBF570 inserted DNA sequence showed some difference at nucleotide 270-300. A search for nucleotide sequence homologies revealed that pBF529 exhibited 99%, but pBF570 indicated only 90% identity with reported enterotoxin gene. According to these results, it was suggested that ETBF toxin can be differentiated into at least 2 subtypes.

The bone mineral densities of 60 middle school boys were measured with dual photon absorptiometry to define the influence of Taekwon-Do. They were divided into Taekwon-Do and control group, each comprising 30 boys. The bone mineral densities of the head, trunk, pelvis, both upper and lower extremities, and body total were measured. The results were as follows. 1. The BMD of head was 1.668 ± 0.153 in Taekwon-Do and 1.554 ± 0.153 0.167 in control. It was significantly increased in aekwon-Do(p <0.05). 2. The BMD of trunk was 0.378 ± 0.153 0.044 in Taekwon-Do and 0.353 ± 0.153 0.053 in control. There was no significant difference(p >0.05). 3. The BMD of pelvis was 1.648 ± 0.153 0.112 in Taekwon-Do and 1.444 ± 0.153 0.215 in control. It was significantly increased in Taekwon-Do(p <0.005). 4. The BMD of right and left legs were 1.597 ± 0.153 0.118 and 1.579 ± 0.153 0.125 in Taekwon-Do and 1.425 ± 0.153 0.115 and 1.421 ± 0.153 0.113 in control group respectively. They were significantly increased in Taekwon-Do(p <0.005). 5. The BMD of right and left arms were 1.184 ± 0.153 0.090 and 1.178 ± 0.153 0.115 in Taekwon-Do and 1.056 ± 0.153 0.095 and 1.066 ± 0.153 0.097 in control group respectively. They were significantly increased in Taekwon-Do(p.<0.005). 6. The total body BMD was 0.932 ± 0.153 0.068 in Taekwon-Do and 0.846 ± 0.065 in control. It is significantly increased in Taekwon-Do(p<0.005). In conclusion, Taekwon-Do increases the total bone mineral density and the mineral densities of the head, pelvis and extremities but not that of trunk. It is thought that continued practice of Taekwon-Do throughout adult life might prevent the senile osteoporosis

Targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma is a benign vascular tumor with a peculiar clinical presentation and histologic features sometimes difficult to differentiate from the patch stage of Kaposi's sarcoma, progressive lymphangioma, eosinophilic hemangioma, retiform hemangioendothelioma. We report a case of targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma on upper back and right upper arm of a 28-year-old male. He has a 5mm × 5mm sized slightly raised violaceous papule surrounded by an ecchymotic halo on upper back and right upper arm. We took a biopsy of the lesion and identified it as targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma. This is a case of targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma with typical clinical and histopathological findings.
