Urticaria is a common disease and a well known reaction pattern of the skin eharacterized by erythema or wheals and edema, that is the results of a local leakage ef plasma, from minute vessels into the connective tissue of the dermis. Seven hundred and sixty cases of urticaria visited to this department from January 1973 to December 1974 were studied clinically in various ways. Patients were classified as acute and chronic urticaria-acute form when the hives have been present for less than 8 weeks and chronic form when the hives lasted longer. In all patients, a detailed history, a complete physical examination, a total and differential leukocyte count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and routine stool examination were performed. Foods were incriminated as the exciting causes of urticaria by history, diet elimination test and ingestion test. An ice cube test was done for corroboration of cold allergy. Cholinergic urticaria, was diagnosed by the appearance of small wheals surrounded by erythema after exercise, emotional disturbances or hot drinks. The diagnosis of urticaria due to drug was based on the history of urticaria following the taking of a certain drug. Infection as the inciting cause was determined by history and physical examination. The results: 1. The incidence of urticaria is 4. 6% to total number of dermatologic patients. 2. Among the 760 urticaria patients, acute cases were 498 which were 2 times more than chronic cases, and female patients were 474 cases that revealed marked high incidences than male patients. 3. The age of the patients ranged from 2 months to 87 years, and the patients between 20 and 39 years occupied more than half of the all patients. 4. Abnormal hematologic findings were more marked in acute form; leukocytosis and neutrophilia were dominate in acute form, and lymphocytosis and eosinophilia were more marked in chronic form. 5. Among the etiologic factors, the bacterial infection was the most frequent which occupied 22. 4% of the all urticaria patients. 6. Seven cases of urticaria due to parasites were clonorchis sinensis, in which I had experienced the complete recovery with the treatment of subcutaneous injection of clonorchis sinensis antigen (1: 10,000) 0.01- 0.1ml at the interval of one week. 7. In this study, the inciting or perpetuating causes could not be found in 50.8% of patients-46.2% of acute form and 59.5% of chronic form.

The present study was intended to examine the spectrum of radiographic patterns of the stomach associated withacute and chronic pancreatitis and their complications. Subjects served for the study consisted of 70 cases ofpancreatitis (36 cases in acute stage and 34 cases in chronic stage). Intramural and perigastic permeation ofextravasated pancreatic enzymes and secondary inflammatory reacation that follows are responsible for theardiographic change observed. 1. Generalized rugal thickening and particularly selective mucosal prominences ingreater curvature of body and antrum are characteristically seen in acute(14 of 36 cases

The incidence of congenital syphilis was decreased after penicillin was introduced in the treatment of the disease in 1943. However, occurrence of the disease is rapidly increasing in recent years. The authors observed 46 cases of congenital syphilis in the newborn and infants, in which 28 cases born at this hospital and 18 cases admitted from O.P.D., treated at Han-Gang Sung-Shim Hospital from January 1973 to 1978. The results were as follows : 1) The ratio of the cases delivered at this hospital was 0.35% and that of the cases admitted via O.P.D. was 0.23%. 2) The incidence of congenital syphilis in the newborn infants who were delivered at this hospital was 0.25% in fullterm babies and 0.10% in premature babies. 3) Birth weights of the cases born in this hospital were as follows : Fullterm babies, 71.5% : 2,000~2,300Gm, 14.3% : 1,501~2,000Gm, 14.3% : and no cases below 1,500Gm. 4) Cliniccl manifestations were developed at neonatal period in 77.8% and at infancy in 22.2%. 5) Common clinical manifestations were skin manifestation (73.9%), hepatomegaly (71.7%), splenomegaly (63.1%), and anemia (60.8%). 6) Peripheral blood findings of patients born at this hospital showed mild anemia (hemoglobin level below 15 Gm/dl) of 60.7%, and severe anemia (hemoglobin level below 10Gm/dl) of 25%. 7) VDRL titer of all cases were above 1 : 2. and those of mothers were above 1 : 2 except 1 case. 8) 83.3% of affected cases revealed periostitis and osteochondritis. Most common sites of involvement were tibia (75%) and ulnar (66.6%). 9) Three out of the 46 patients had complications during the treatment : one was nephrot ic syndrome, second was acute pyelonephritis, and third was pneumonia with sepsis.

PURPOSE: To describe radiologic differences between tuberculous pleural effusion and empyema on the basis of computed tomography(CT). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We reviewed retrosepectively CT findings of 50 patients with pathologically and grossly proved empyema. Twenty-two patients had empyema, and 28 patients had tuberculous pleurisy. RESULTS: CT findings known to be useful in differentiating tuberculous pleural effusion from empyema (1) contour and extent of pleural thickening, (2) mediastinal pleural involvement, (3)accumulation of extrapleural tissue and (4) change of ipsilateral thoraic volume of empyema. However, none of the above findings were helpful in the differential diagnosis of empyema. CONCLUSION: The differentation of tubrculous pleurisy from pyogenic empyema may be not possible with CT findings only.

Deposition of monosodium urate crystal in joints and periarticular soft tissue is regarded as one of the characteristics of chronic gouty arthritis. In spine, however, only nineteen cases of tophaceous deposits have been reported to date suggesting the rarity of clinical symptoms secondary to involvement of spine. Authors report a case of spinal stenosis due to hypertrophy of ligament flavum with monosodium urate deposits. The patient was 65 years of age with chronic gouty arthritis who underwent a decompressive laminectomy at L4-5. At surgery, hypertrophied ligament flavum that was covered with chalky amorphous materials was noted without any evidence of radiologic features. Microscopically, a portion of ligament flavum had been focally destoryed by amorphous material deposits that were surrounded by a thin layer of mononuclear and giant cells along with occasional sprinkling of chronic inflammatory cells and negative birefringence on polarizing microscopy.
