2.A study on the Physique and Bodily Strength of the Enlisted Men of Marine Corps in Korea.

Korean Journal of Preventive Medicine 1973;6(1):87-100

The purposeof this project is offering fundamental and proper informations for the better health control and personnel management of the enlisted men of Marine corps. Korea. Survey has been done under 1,001 marine enlisted men for the purpose of understanding their condition of physique, vital capacity, and bodily strength. 1. Under the subject of physique, 7 items, body weight, chest-girth, relative body weight, relative chest-girth, Vervaeck index, and Roethrer index are listed, and under the subject of vital capacity, BTPS vital capacity and percent predicted vital capacity are listed, and under the subject of bodily strength, 7 items, grasping power, chining-up, throwing a hanp-grenade, forward jumping, sitting-up, 100 meter sprinting, are listed. The total items are 16 and mean score of each one is as follow. 1) physique. a. Height : 168+/-0.15cm. b. Body weight : 62.7+/-0.17kg. c. Chest-grith : 91.4+/-0.16cm. d. Relative body-girth : 37.2+/-0.09. e. Relative Chest-girth : 54.3+/-0.10. f. Vervaeck index : 91.6+/-0.15. g. Roehere index : 1.31+/-0.003. 2) Vital capacity. a. BTPS vital capacity : 4470+/-20cc. b. %Predicted vital capacity : 150+/-5.1% 3) Bodily strength. a. Grasping Power : 41.4+/-0.26kg. b. Chining-up : 5.7+/-0.10. c. Throwing a hand-grenade : 39.7+/-0.20m. d. Forward jumping : 214+/-0.58cm. e. Sitting-up : 19.1+/-0.25. . Pushing-up : 22.1+/-0.18. g. 100 meter sprinting : 16.1+/-0.04sec. 2. Comparative analysis has been done about the conditional classes of marine enlisted men with the results of above mentioned 16 items. 7 classes according to the branches, 3 according to the ranks, 9 according to the length of service are adopted respectively.

Korean Journal of Dermatology 1974;12(4):265-268

Macular atrophy is relatively rare skin disease and is characterized histologically by deficiency of elastic fibers and clinically by circumscribed area of thin, wrinkled bulging out skin. Whether the association with identificable specific dermatosis or not divides the macular atrophy into primary & secondary type. I present a case of widespreaded primary macular atrophy. A 28 year old male has been suffered from symptomless, slowly progressive, numerous, well demarcated, neither coalesced nor grouped, rice sized, round to oval shaped, hypopigmented, protruded, wrinkled surfaced eruptions which began from both flank at first about 3 years ago and then spreaded to abdomen, chest, back and all extremities except hands & feet. General physical & laboratory examinaions did not show distinct abnormality except skin tindings. Histopatholgical study revealed fragmentation, scantiness or disappearance of elastic fibers by means of Verhoeff-VanGieson stain and no increase of Periodic acid-Schiff stain positive material ruled out the possibility of amyloidosis. Diagnosis was confirmed by clinical & histochemical findings. Literature was briefly reviwed for the discussion.
