In Korea where night soil used as fertilizer for crops and vegetables they may be contaminated simultaneously with infective stage of ascaris, hookworm and other helminthes. In this circumstance, the ascaris eggs and hookworm larvae may adhere to certain kinds of leafy vegetables(Chyu, 1957) and may remain viable even after pickling in brine or in other substances (Han and Ko, 1952; Soh, 1960). It has been shown that Heliogen(Thitasut, 1961) will kill the parasite eggs and larvae, and Sodium nitrite (Kozai, 1960; Kim and Soh 1964) and Thiabendazole (Kutsmi, 1964 and 1965; Kim et al., 1966) also had ovicidal action. The present study has been planned to study the ovicidal and larvicidal actions of several chemicals in Korean pickle juice(Kimchi) and the results are summarized as follows: Heliogen solution(iodine 100 ppm) did not destroy the ascaris and hookworm eggs within 30 minutes at the temperature of 15-30 C, but the hookworm larvae were killed within 3 minutes under the same conditions. Sodium nitrite which was added to pickle juice at the rate of 0.1 percent destroyed more than 90 percent of ascaris fresh eggs within 10 days and the embryonated eggs were destroyed within 2 days. Hookworm eggs were destroyed within 3 days and larvae were killed within 7 hours. Thiabendazole which was added to pickle juice at the rate of 0.1-0.025 percent inhibited the infectivity of ascaris embryonated eggs within 24 hours and hookworm eggs were destroyed in the same concentrations of the reagent. Hydrogen ion concentration of pickle juice which was mixed with Sodium nitrite (0.1 percent) was not changed for 10 days. 1.5 mg of Sodium nitrite or Thiabendazole produced no toxicity in kidney and intestine of mice but slight pathological changes in the liver of the same animal.

From 1960 through 1965, 39 cases with epileptic seizure caused by the Cystricercus cellulosae were experienced at Kaejong Mental Hospital, Okku-Gun, Chollapukdo province. The present study was carried on at the area of Chollapukdo province where Cysticercus cellulosae cases were frequently reported. Thrity-nine Cystricercus cellulosae cases(35 male and 4 female) with epileptic seizure visited Kaejong Mental Hospital . Okku-Gun, Chollapukdo during the years of 1960-1965 from various Gun(county): Okku-Gun 13, Kimje-Gun 7, and Soonchang-Gun 6. The high incidence was found at the age group of 20-49 years and the distribution of 214 subcutaneous nodules were as follows: Trunk 56.6 percent, upper extremities 26.6 percent, head and neck 9.3 percent, lower extremities 7.5 percent. According to the address of above 39 cases, taenia infestation of the inhabitants in the area was examined by questionaire form. Plain rural area (Maryong-Ri, Okku-Gun); Among 803 persons interviewed, 4.0 percent or 32 complained the output of Taenia segments. The male group showed higher incidence (6.4 percent) than the female(1.5 percent) . The highest incidence was observed at the age group of 30-39 years. Most of the inhabitants of the area had the eating habit of raw beef and pork. Mountainous rural area(Bok-Heung-Myun, Soonchang-Gun); Among 542 persons interviewed, 33 or 6.1 percent complained Taenia infection. The higher incidence was observed in the male group(8.7 percent) than in the female group(3.1 percent) , and also at the age group of 20-49 years. They had eating habit of raw beef and pork. The species of adult worm were identified by morphological examination. Totally 36 adult worms(Taenia saginata 21, T. solium 15) were obtained from 26 cases, and it was experienced that 5 T. solium were eliminated from one person.

Sclerema neonatorum is a lesion of degeneration, necrosis or crystallization of adipose tissue of new born, and is classified into two types; the generalized type in which death occurs usually within one week without treatment, and the nodular type which is localized and heals spontaneously. In this report, nodular type was presented. Nut to palm sized indurated plaques on deltoid region, upper back and hip were noted 3 weeks after birth. Histopathologic findings of necrosis of subcutaneous tissue with early granulomatous reaction were showed in biopsy specimen. Literature was briefly reviewed for the discussion of clinical and microscopic findings of this disease.

Five cases of incontinentia pigmenti (Bloch-Sulzberge type) were presented and literature were reviewed. They were all girls. 3cases of them were associated with defects of ectodermal or mesodermal development. As the manifestation of those, malformed teeth in 2 cases, delayed dentition in 3 cases, eye problem in 2 cases, and alopecia in 3 cases were noticed. One of 3 cases had eruptions of lichen striatus on her upper extremities. Especially, family history of involvement of maternal relative in one case was noticed. Diagnosis of them were confirmed by characteristic clinical appearance and histopathologic findings.

A case of dermatitis herpetiformis resembling atopic dermatitis is reported. The patient is 45 year-o1d male, who 6 months ago developed the pruritic erythematous vesicular eruptions on the left side of back and it gradually spread to the margin. He was treated with steroid but the lession had undergone exacerbation and remissions. Biopsy was performed on the vesicular lesion and revealed non-acantholytic subepidermal bulla with mild inflammatory cells infiltration and then he was treated with DDS for 2 months with good response.

A case of glomus tumor was reported with literature review. 36 year old Korean male has had a single corn sized painful nodular eruption on flexor surface of right side forearm since 2 years ago. This single nodule was confirmed histopathologically as glomus tumor but patient had not any trauma and injury history. Simple surgical excision was very excellent for complete cure of this tumor.
