Toxic epidermal necrolysis(T.E.N.) is a toxic erythema of the skin that undergoes epidermal necrolysis and peding so that it appears to have been scalded. There seem to be two basic form of T.E.N. In children, the deavage of the epidermis that results from an acantholytic-dyskeratotic cytolytic process is in the malpighian or granular layer and is usually induced by a staphylococci toxin. In adult, it is characterized by a full-thicknees cytolytic cleavage of skin above the basal layer and is usually precipitated by a drug. The authors observed a 17 year-old male with T.E.N. He began to notify the erythematous skin lesion with burning sensation on the whole body surface at 12 hours after oral administration of some drugs for common cold and developed the characteristic flaccid bullous and denuded lesions with tenderness within next 20 hours.

We report a case of dilated pare of Winer occuring in a 33-year-oid female patient. Dilated pore belongs to adenoma or organoid group of benign hair differentiation tumors. The patient has had a giant comedone on the right submandibular area for 1 month. Histopathologic features revealed rnarkedly dilated pilar infundibulum lined by epidermis that is atrophic near the ostium but hypertrophic deeper in the cystic cavity. Three months after excisional biopsy, there was no recurrence.

BACKGROUND: Discrepancies exist in the existing researches regarding the association between social capital and self-efficacy, and most of these researches have been done in developed countries. The aims of this study were to assess the independent association between individual social capital and self-efficacy and to assess the associations between individual social capital, self-efficacy and self-rated health. METHODS: Data were obtained from the Gyeongnam health survey (6,500 persons) conducted in 2008. A self-administered questionnaire was additionally administered to gather information on demographic variables, health behaviors, chronic diseases, self-efficacy, social capital, and self-rated health status. Total study population was 3,843 as those with chronic diseases were excluded. RESULTS: In males, trust was positively associated with confidence and preference to task difficulty, and participation was negatively associated with confidence and positively associated with regulation and preference to task difficulty. In females, trust was positively associated with confidence and preference to task difficulty and negatively associated with regulation. Participation was positively associated with preference to task difficulty. In males, the odds for self-rated health status was better for persons with confidence (95% confidence interval, CI 1.088-1.705), trust (95% CI 1.172-1.821) and participation (95% CI 1.268-2.117). In females, the odds for self-rated health status was better for those with confidence (95% CI 1.250-1.803), preference of task difficulty (95% CI 1.019-1.683) and participation (95% CI 1.024-1.555). CONCLUSIONS: High social capital measured at an individual level may promote self-efficacy and health status.

An antrochoanal polyp is a solitary polypoid mass that arises from the maxillary sinus, and protrudes through the natural ostium into the middle meatus, and reaches the choana, The polyp does not differ histologically from an ordinary nasal polyp, which is composed of edematous, hyperplastic submucosal connective tissue stroma, and is relatively hypocellular, In this sequence of events. Its computed tomographic(CT)findings are characteristic. We retrospectively analyzed CT studies of nine cases, all of which showed similar CT findings; a solitary, homogeneous, hypodense mass without bony destruction that extends from the maxillary sinus through the widened ostium into the choana.
