The study was made in order to investigate the minimal inhibit concentration (M.I.C) to Trichophyton(T.) gypseum and Trichophyton rubrum by same salt solution(ie: NaCl, KCl and Sodium thiosulfate). The stanis were obtained at the out-patient clinic of Seoul National University hospital. The results are as follows: 1. The M.I.C. of NaCl manifest 10%, and Trichophyton rubrum shows more higher than that of T. gypseum. 2. The M.I.C. of Sodiurn thiosulfate manifest 10%, and T. gypseum shows more higher M.I.C. than that of T. rubrum. 3. The M.I.C. of KCI manifest 15% for T.rubrum and shows 20% for T. gypseum.

Histopathological changes under occulsive dressing with 0.1% triamcinolone acetonide cream, 0 025% fluocinolone acetonide cream, and 1% hydrocortisone cream were compared each other and with the changes following topical application of 5% ammoniated mercury ointment without occulsion in five cases of psoriasis vulgaris. 1) The earliest changes noticed were the diminution of the papillary edema, the appearence of the granular layer and the disappearence of parakeratosis. 2) A week after treatment, the remarkable changes revealed were the thinning of the epidermis, the diminution of acanthosis, papil]ary edema and cell infiltration of the upper dermis and the appearence of the granular layer. 3)The capillary dilatation remained unchanged even two weeks after treatment in all groups. 4) Among these drugs, the best respanse revealed was triamcinolone cream, the next was fluocinolone cream. The response of hydrocortisone cream was poorer than fluocinolone cream and ammoniated mercury ointment was even more poorer than hydrocortisone cream.
