In order to investigate the relationship between stress and fatigue of research workers, we surveyed 246 research workers from September 15 to October 20, 1997. The results were as follows ; 1. Females, 20~29 years of ages, singles are associated with significantly higher stress symptoms and fatigue symptoms 2. The research workers who drink nearly everyday complained significantly lower stress symptoms and fatigue symptoms. 3. The research workers who excercise regularly complained significantly lower stress symptoms and fatigue symptoms. 4. The research workers who are somewhat satisfied by Job and income complained lower stress symptoms and fatigue symptoms. 5. The high risk stress group was 4.5 % of the research workers. The latent stress group was 93.9 % and healthy group was 1.6 %. The research workers belonged to high risk stress group complained significantly higher fatigue symptoms.

Authers observed one case of typical reactive perforating collagenosis (RPC) which did not seem to have been described in the Korean literature. A 19 year old male patient complained of a skin eruption involving his face, upper and lower extremities, and trunk in June 1973. The skin eruption appeared at the age of 10 and consisted of discrete papules of which the earliest lesion was a pinhead-sized, skin-colord papule, but it became older, it increased in size and developed a small central area of umbilication containing keratinous material. As new papules continued to develop, the older lesions regressed and disappeared with residual scar. No subjective symptom was obtained except intermittent, mild itching sensation which probably due to a irritation. The Keobner's phenomenon was observed on the dorsum of hands. He has acne vulgaris on the face with many of the individual comedones showing development into RPC. He also had a chronic maxillary sinusitis which was seemed to aggravate the skin eruption. In follow up period (about 5 months), the sinusitis was cured with operation, but the skin eruption was not improved. The family history was negative. Histopathological studies revealed typical RPC, i.e., a cup-shaped epidermal depression of which center was lacked the epidermis was noted, and through it, necrobiotic connective tissue, degenerating inflammatory- cells and collagen bundles are extruded to form a plug. Diagnosis was confirmed by clinical appearance and typical histopathologic features. The patient did not responed to topical application of 0. 1% Retinoic acid solution and Vitamin A and D.

A 17 year old female with Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber Syndrome is presented. Of particular interest was presence of congenital heart anomaly. The nevus flarnmeus invoIved her entire right leg and foot with hypertrophy, elongation and partial ulecration. Elongation of the right leg Iead cornpensatory vertebral scoliosis (Fig.1,2). The cutaneous temperature of affected side was higher than the other side, and. was larger on somatometry and osteometry (Table 1). On auscultation, grade III systolic blowing murmur was heard on left upper sternal border with second heart sound splitting. Electrocardiograrn revealed complete right bundle branch block (Fig. 3). Chest X-ray revealed cardiomegaly, increase 3 hilar shadaws and rnild pulmonary congestion (Fig. 4). Above mentioned signs suggests strongly secundum type of atrial septal defect. Femoral angiography didnt show arteriovenous malformation (Fig. 5). Authors experienced this rare variant of Klippel-Trenaunzy-Weber Syndrome acco- mapanying with congenital heart anamaly, and report this with review of literatures.

Most insects including the honeybee cause erythema and edema at the site of a sting in non-allergic individuals. This reaction usually resolves within a few days. However, in certain cases, the persistence of inciting materials in the cutaneous tissue may promote a local inflammatory foreign body reaction. Localized nodular lesions were seen in our two patients and erythemstous patches were present in one patient due to rarely encountered complications induced by retained sting materials. In these cases histopathology showed multiple foci of foreign body granuloma containing yellow refraetile material in the center surrounded by histiocytes and foreign body giant cells. The granulomatous skin lesions in these patients were treated with intralesional injections of triamcinolone acetonide and partial excisions of the nodular masses were performed.
