Korean Journal of Dermatology 1980;18(6):619-623
A 67 year-old male patient had butterfly-shaped ulcer with oozing on the face since 25 years ago. Histopathologically the lesion showed basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma. He received skin graft after surgical excision and showed no evidence of recurrence or metastasis for over six months.

Annals of Dermatology 1995;7(3):231-235
BACKGROUND: The main therapeutic method currently used for the treatment of vitiligo vulgaris is either photochemotherapy or corticosteroids. But both of the procedures however require lengthy treatment to obtain a satisfactory result. OBJECTIVE: To determine the increased efficacy of the combination therapy of photochemotherapy with corticosteroid and chlorpromazine compared with the usual monotherapy. METHODS: The combination therapy was done in 29 cases and the results were compared with the results of either monotherapy appearing in the literatures. RESULTS: f the 29 patients, 14(48.3%) patients achieved 100% repigmentation, 7(24.1%) patients 75~50%, 5(17.2%) patients 25~50%, and 3(10.4%) patients less than 25%. For the cured patients, 190.3 days and 32.7 times of photochemotherapy were used. CONCLUSION: The combination therapy is more effective, and the duration of treatment can be greatly reduced compared with either monotherapy.

Livedoid vasculitis is characterized clinically by smooth or depressed ivory-white scars surrounded by hyperpigmentation and telangiectasia with or without preceding purpuric in-filtrated papules and plaques and histologically by intravascular deposition of fibrin. Its pathophysiology is still obscure. Many treatment modalities have been used, but results are not satisfactory. Recently, there have been experiences of successful treatments with danazol, a synthetic androgen. We used danazol in three patients who presented with livedoid vasculitis and were relatively resistant to treatments with aspirin and/or pentoxifylline. After 4 to 8 weeks, there was remarkable clinical improvement in all three patients.

Cutaneous pilar leiomyomas are benign, often painful, smooth muscle tumors that usually present as red-brown nodules. They are usually multiple and commonly found on the extensor aspects of the arm, trunk, and face. Multiple lesions may be grouped or widespread. They are rarely distributed in a linear fashion or seem to follow a dermatome. We report a 54-year-old woman with multiple pilar cutaneous leiomyomas distributed in a zosteriform pattern on her right trunk.

OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the clinical implications of serum ECP and peripheral blood eosinophil counts as indices of airway inflammation during the follow-up of asthmatics (BA). METHODS: We repeatedly measured the serum ECP, peripheral blood eosinophil counts and peak expiratory low rate (PFR) during the follow up of 24 symptomatic BA. RESULTS: Mean serum ECP level of BA at uncontrolled status of airflow limitation was significantly higher than that of controlled state (24.5i3.7 ng/ml rs. 16.2+1.9 ng/ml, p<0.05) and the ECP levels of controlled and uncontrolled status were significantly higher than that of health control subjects (n=10, 10.1+/-2.0 ng/ml, p<0.01 respectively). Pe ripheral blood eosinophils were also significantly increased in uncontrolled status than in controlled status of BA (535.7+/-81.0/1tL vs. 300.4+33.4/micro liter, p < 0.05). In controlled status, 8 BA had higher circulating ECP levels than in uncontrolled status, but with peripheral blood eosinophil counts, only 3 BA had higher levels in controlled status than in uncontrolled status. Variations of PFR correlated with the variations of serum ECP level (r=-0.5370, p<0.01) and variations of peripheral blood eosinophil count (r=-0.6215, p<0.001). CONCLUSION: Measurement of serum ECP and peripheral blood eosinophil count would be useful tools for monitoring the disease activity of asthma, but we could not obtain any more informations from the measureinert of serum ECP levels than from the peripheral blood eosinophil counts.

To ease the convinience of indentification of common dermatophytes in Korea and to check the possibility of diseovering new species not yet reported in Korea, several species of dermatophytes were cultured on potato dextrose agar(PDA) at the room temperature. They were 46 strains isolated from Korea and 6 domestic strains from a foreign country. Gross and microscopic findings of their colonies were examined. The colonial morphology and microscopic appearance were compared with those of the same strains on Sabouraud dextrose agar(SDA) and corn meal agar(CMA). The results were as follows Typical T. rubrum and its varisnts showed characteristic wine red pigmentation which was rapid, diffuse and uniform, typically arrsnged microconidia were better on PDA. T. mentagrophytes showed yellow-brown pigmentation which were more rapid and darker in the center with gradual fading to the periphery. The mscroconidia, grape-like clusters of microconidia and spiral hyphae were seen better on SDA. T. tonsurans showed characteristic mahogsny colored pigmentation, ballooned microconidia and macroconidia which were seen better on PDA, but diffusible pigmentation of agar were present on SDA only. The gross morphology of T. verracosum were similar on PDA and SDA, but macroconidia were seen better on PDA and CMA, and tortuous hyphae with antler-like branching were seen better on SDA. T. rnegninii showed green-brown pigmentation which appeared rapidty and prominently on PDA. T. rubrum-like microconidia were seen better on PDA and CMA, but in SDA only hyphae were seen. The gross morpholgy of M. canis was similar on PDA and SDA, but spindle shaped macroconidia were seen more typically on PDA. The gross morphology and microscopic appearance of M. gypseum were very similar in all three media. M. ferruginenm showed characteristic rust colored pigmentation and bamboo hyphae which were seen more typically on PDA. The gross morphalogy of E floceosum were similar on PDA and SDA, but cluster formation of club shaped macroconidia were seen more prominently on PDA and CMA. These findings suggest that PDA is a mare convincing media t6Cifferentiate among dermatophytes belonging to genus Trichopkyton.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: House dust mites have been known as the most important allergens in respiratory allergic disease. Since environmental factors may have influences on the pathogenesis of allergic disease, the study using Korean house dust mites for immune and biologic reactions in house dust mite-sensitive allergic disease is considered as significant. MATERIAL AND METHOD: We made two in-house allergenic extracts of Korean house dust mites (D. farinae and D. pteronpsssinus) and performed this study for the allergen standardization by in vivo methods and for the evaluation of the reliabilities for clinical applications. RESULT: As a results of biologic standardization using skin prick test teachnique, the activity of 1: 1,500w/v of D. farinae extract was estimated 1,000 biology unit(BU), concentration that elicits a wheal of the same size as that of histamine dihydrochloride 1mg/ml. The activity of 1: 1,000w/v of D. pteronyssinus was condiered as 1,000BU. The activity of 1:100w/v of both D. farinae and D. pteronpssiuns extracts were considered as 100,000 Allergy Unit(AU), based on intradermal skin testing of 30 subjects with strong sensitive reaction. The concordant rates between results of skin prick test done with 5,000BU/ml concentration of in-house allergenic extracts and thoae with the commercially available allergen(Bencard Co., UK) were 84.6% and 81.0% for D. farinae and D. pteronpssinus, respectively. The wheal erythema size and A/H ratios induced by in-house extracts were significantly correlated with those induced by Bencard allergen. CONCLUSION: This results suggest that in-house extracts of the whole bodies of two house dust mites have good allergenic activities in vivo. It is considered to be clinically useful and reliable allergenic extracts.

Journal of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons 1999;26(5):1020-1026
The autogenous fascia graft has been used for various surgical purposes because it has good durability, a gliding capacity, elasticity and a high survival rate. However, few studies have reported histological changes of the graft in various situations. This study attempted to determine histomorphologic changes after autogenous fascia graft in various surgical conditions. The results revealed were as follows: 1. The tension applied to grafts plays the key role in the survival rate of autogenous fascia grafts. 2. Rolling the fascia reduced the volume and weight after autogenous graft due to fibrosis and central fatty degeneration. 3. Autogenous fascia graft covering silicone blocks showed its fascial structure and reduction of the formation of fibrous capsule around the silicone.
