Gougerost-Blum syndrome is a rare disease and characterized by lichenoid papules in association with purpuric lesions. So far as we know there has been no report of, in literatures, Gougerot-Blum syndrome with leukemia. We experienced a case of typical Gougerrot_Blum syndrome with acute myeloblastic leukemia in a 30 year-old female patient. This patient complained of rashes on whole body for 2 months, and frequent epistaxis and gum bleeding for 20 days. The skin revealed miliary to rice sized rusty colored lichenoid papules on whole body especially on legs and arms. Histopathologically the skin showed the picture of Gougerot-Blum syndrome. On peripheral blood examination and bone marrow aspiration myeloblastic leukemia was confirmed. The patient was treated with 6-mercaptopurine, cytoxan and prednisolone with slight improvement of skin lesions, but no improvement of leukumia itselt.

VSD is the most common congenital carciac malformation and the natural history depends not only on the age ofpatients and the size of defect but the subtype of VSD as well, important factor in clinical management or thosepatients. In 110 patients, with surgically repaired VSD in Yonsei Medical Center in 1984, the subtype of VSDs evaluated by surgical observation were correlated with LV angiogram findings to verify the incidence of subtype inKorean and the diagnostic accuracy to predict the subtype by angiogram. 1. 110 patients included 64 boys and 46 girls, the age ranged from 3 months to 14 years(average 4.6 years old) 2. Angiographic findings were interpretedas follows; a. Perimembranous defects were profiled in LAO 60 degrees LV angiogram and located below the aorticvalve. In inlet excavation the shunted blood opacified the recess between septal leaflet of tricuspid valve and interventricular septum in early phase, in infundibular excavation opacified the recess between anterior leafletof TV and anterior free wall of RV and in travecular excavation the shunted blood traversed anterior portion of TVring, opacified trabecular portion of RV cavity. b. Subarterial type were profilled in RAO 30degrees LV angiogram,just below aortic valve as well as pulmonic valve. Total infundibular defects were profilled in RAO 30degrees andLAO 60 degrees LV angiogram subaortic in location in both views. c. In muscular VSD the profilled angle was variedaccording to the subtype but the defects were separated from the aortic valve as muscular septum interposedbetween the aortic valve and the defect. 3. The incedence of subtype of VSDs evaluated by surgical observationwere as follows. Subaterial type 32 cases(29.1%) Total infundibular defect 5 cases( 4.5%) Perimembranous type 73cases(66.3%) Infundibular excavation 32 cases(29.1%) Trabecular excavation 28 cases(25.5%) Inlet excavation 10cases(9.1%) Mixed 3 cases(2.7%) Muscular type 1 cases(0.9%) Total 63.6% of VSD, were the varieties of theinfundibular septum type. 4. The prediction of VSD subtype accoridng to the angiographic findings described above,were compared to the surgical observation. Diagnostic rate was 100% in perimembranous type, 75% in subarterialtype, 0% in total infundibular type, so 88% of cases were in accordance with the surgical findings.

4.The Concentrations of Ascorbic Acid in Vitreous and Subretinal Fluid in Retinal Detachment Patients.
Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 1995;36(8):1417-1421
Ascorbic acid in aqueous humor, the concentration is 15-69 times higher than in plasma, protects ocular tissues from free radicals as an antioxidant and absorbs ultraviolet rays. It is regarded that the concentration of ascorbic acid in the vitreous body is greater than in the plasma, but there is no knowledge about it's role and relationships to retinal disease. We measured the concentrations of ascorbic acid in plasma, aqueous humor, vitreous and subretinal fluid in 10 patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment who were treated with scleral encircling by high performance liquid chromatography. The average concentrations of ascorbic acid in plasma, anterior chamber aqueous humor, vitreous, and subretinal fluid were 30.8 +/- 7.5 micro gram/ml, 157.4 +/- 2.5 micro gram/ml, 195.3 +/- 7.5 micro gram/ml, and 178.5 +/- 2.5 micro gram/ml respectively. The ascorbic acid concentrations in intraocular fluids were 5-6 times higher than in plasma.

To clarify neuronal connection of the medial rectus muscle at brain stem, Bartha strain of the psecudorabies virus(PRV-Ba) and cholera toxin-horeserdish peroxidase(CT-HRP) was injected into medial rectus muscle of the rat. About 84 hours after PRV or CT-HRP injection, the brain was removed and processed immunohistochemical stain for PRV-Ba and neurohistochemical stain for CT-HRP using tetramethyl benzidine. The CT-HRP positive reaction was only present in ipsilateral oculomotor nucleus, contralateral abducence nucleus and bilaterally in rostral interstitial nucleus of medial longitudinal fasciculus, olivary pretectal nucleus, medial and superior vestibular nucleus, nucleus prepositus hypoglossi, prerubral field, nucleus Darkschewitsch, lateral substantia nigra, terminal nucleus of accessory nucleus, dorsal raphenucleus, locus ceruleus and pontime reticular formation. This study confirmed that both oculomotor nucleus and abducence nucleus were connected with each other through the medial longitudinal fasciculus, and neuronal connection of the medial rectus muscle in the rat brain stem.

We evaluate the effects of diltiazem in 19 patients with ischemic heart disease (15 patients) of classical anginal pectoris & 4 patients of variant angina) by means of clinical status & electrocardiographic changes and obtain the results as follows: 1. The pulse rate & blood pressure were decreased by diltiazem slightly but these decreases were not significant in statistical meaning. 2. Diltiazem administration of 4 weeks duration normalized EKG completely in 4 patients & partially in 3 patients among the 13 patients who showed abnormal resting EKG initially. 3. All 19 patients who received diltiazem showed clinical improvement; 9 patients had excellent responses, 7 patients good responses & 3 patients fair responses. 4. Diltiazem had side effects in 3 patients, drowsiness, mild euphoria & possibly tolerance respectively in each patients.
