Alveolar soft-part sarcoma of the female genital tract are extremely rare. Fewer than 30 cases have been described in the literature. We experienced a case of alveolar soft-part sarcoma of the female genital tract which was diagnosed by routine light microscopic study using ultrastructural and immunohistochemical stain. We report this case with a brief review of the literature.

Lymphocytic infiltration of the skin(LIS), first described in 1953 by Jessner and Kanot is relatively uncommon disorder, characterized clinicaily by the presence of erythemat.ous peripherally enlarging papules or plaques which may show central clearing. Histologically, the lesions show patch, perivascular and periadnexal lymphocytic infiltrates. We have experienced a case of 30-year old male who had multiple erythematous nodules and plaques on the face and dorsum of the right wrist with 5 years history. He had first noted erythematous plaques on the cheek and these lesions were gradually increasing in size and spreading to the forehead and forearm. He had transiently improved by medication at the drug store, but recurred after discontinuation.

59 children seen from Jan. 1990 to Jun. 1994 with epilepsy were retrospectively reviewed to evaluate the tendency of recurrence and the risk factors after the antiepileptic drug discontinuation. The population consisted of 59 children who were seizure free for more than 2 years and followed up for more than 1 year after the discontinuation via department of pediatrics, Yonsei University, Wonju College of Medicine. We analyzed risk factors of recurrence(age of seizure onset, seizure frequency before treatment, interval from seizure onset to start of treatment, duration from neurologic disorders, and EEG done just before discontinuation) between non-recurrent group(43 patients) and recurrent group(16 patients). The results were as follows: 1) In 59 patients with epilepsy, 16(27.1%) patients showed recurrence after the discontinuation and 14(87.5%) patients of those were developed during taperring and within less than 1 year. The probability of recurrent seizure by Kaplan-Meier curve at 12 and 24 months after discontinuation are 23.7% and 33.6% respectively. 2) There were significant differences on seizure frequency before treatement, duration from start of treatment to control (9.5months vs 31.1months), and associated neurologic disorders(11.6% vs. 56.2%) between non-recurrent and recurrent group. 3) There were no significant differences on age at seizure onset(70.6 months vs. 58.5months), interval from seizure onset to start of treatment(9.5months vs. 6.6months), length of seizure free(49.7months vs 39.3months), abnormal EEG finding done just before withdrawal(23.2% vs. 25.0% ) between non-recurrent and recurrent group.

The origin of Paget cells in extramammary Pagets disease is uncertain, however, some ultrastructural surveys revealed differentistion of Paget cells toward sweat gland apparatus. This is supported by recent immunohistochemical studies that Paget cells are irnmunohistochemically shown to react with antikeratin monoclonal antibodies specific to simple epithelia. In this siudy, seven cases of extramammary Pagets disease were immunohistochemically investigated with adenokeratin, carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA), involucrin by peroxidase-antiperoxidase(PAP) techniques. The results were as follow : l. Epidermis, hair follicies and sebaceous glands revealed negative immunoreacativity for adenokeratin in all cases. Sweat glands(6/7), Paget cells(6/7) and underlying adenocarcinoma revealed positive immunoreactivity for adenokeratin. 2. Epidermis, hair follicles and sebaceous glands(6/7) revealed negative immunoreactivity for CEA. Sweat glands, Paget cells and underlying adenocarcinoma revealed positive immunoreactivity for CEA in all cases. 3. Lower epidermis, sweat glands(6/7), Paget cells and underlying adenocarcinorna revealed negative irnmunoreactivity for involucrin. Upper epidermis, hair follicles and sebaceous glands(5/7) revealed positive immunoreactivity far involucrin. Based on these results, Paget cells of extramammary Pagets disease are considered to be derived from the sweat glands.

The author has observed the effects of collagenase on the relapse phenomenon and the histochemical changes during the relapse period. 50 rats were used. : 3rats as a normal group, 15rats as control groups, and 32rats as experimental groups. Rat's teeth were moved for 10days with helical spring applied, followed by injection of "collagenase in Hank's sol." to the experimental groups and the "Hank's sol." to the control group in the interdental gingiva on the 10th day, and the spring was removed on the 11th day. After injection, the experimental animals were sacrificed on the 11th, 13th, 15th, 17th, 20th, and 24th day and perpared histochemically for the Hematoylin-Eosin, Van-Gieson, and Methyl Green-pyronin staining. The results are as follows: 1. Group I (11th day): In the control group the supracrestal fibers were stretched and the metabolic rate was high. Experimental group showed that supracrestal fibers were resor, bed, disarrayed, and the metabolic rate was low. 2. Group II (13th day): In the control group, the supracrestal fibers began to vhange from the vertical direction to tooth-axis to the parallel. Experimental group showed that supracrestal fibers were completely resorbed. 3. Group IV (17th day): The control group showed almost normal structure. Form this group the metabolic rates were low. Experimental group showed the most destructive pattern. 4. Group VI (24th day): Experimental group showed almost normal structure. It follows that experimental groups were relapsed less than the control groups, and collagenase was effective in the prebention of relapse after rat's experimental tooth movement.

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of drinking patterns and the prevalence of hazardous drinking and alcohol use disorder with the assessment of alcohol policy needs in community population of urban city in Korea. METHODS: Data was collected from 1,000 residents in a single urban city in Korea, from June 1 to July 31, 2011 by a questionnaire. As research tools, socio-demographic characteristics composed of variables based on study purpose, alcohol problems and alcohol use disorder state scales composed with Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test(AUDIT) and Cut down, Annoyed, Guilty, Eye-opener(CAGE), and the assessment of alcohol policy needs in community population questions were used. RESULTS: The lifetime experience of alcohol drinking was 97.4%. For the frequency of drinking, 21.9% of population responded 2 to 4 times per weekly. 24.4% of male had one time or more high risk drinking, defined as having four or more drinks in a sitting, per week. 51.6% experienced the first time drinking of alcohol in adolescence. The lifetime prevalence of hazardous drinking and alcohol use disorder were 14.9% and 3.3%, respectively using AUDIT. Alcohol use disorder were 9.6% with the CAGE scale. Problem drinking were 8.4% in this study. They requested the program such as prevention education(57.2%), construction of liaison system to treatment facilities( 50.1%), alcohol counseling and intervention(41.7%), and rehabilitation program(39.8%). CONCLUSIONS: These results demonstrate that alcohol problem and alcohol use disorder were much prevalent, and these problem started in the earlier age. It is necessary to develop an effective alcohol prevention program or policy with considering the needs in community population.
