1.Juvenile DErmatitis Herpetiformis : Bullous Type: Report of a Case.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1974;12(3):171-173
Dermatitis Herpetiformis rarely in childhood, and certain features of the disease in children differ from its manifestations in adults. Juvenile dermatitis herpetiformis appears not to be the same disease as the typical dermatitis herpetiformis of adults. Juvenile dermatitis herpetiformis has been described as a predomimantly bullous disease, but rarely papulovesicular eruptions. This bullous eruption in children must be considered in the several entities such as bullous pemphigoid and erythema multiforme. Juvenile bullous dermatitis herpetiformis has not responded routinely to sulfapyridine and sulfone therapy. A 15-month-old child whose skin lesions fulfilled clinical, histologic, and therapeutic criteria for Juvenile dermatitis hepetiformis is reported. The skin lesions showed bullous eruptions and also complained of severe itching sensation different from bullous Juvenile dermatitis herpetiformis.

3.Morphometric Analysis of Preeciamptic Nephropathy with Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis.
Korean Journal of Pathology 1995;29(5):624-633
To evaluate the structural characteristics that might be related to the clinical features noted in preeclamptic patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis(FSGS), we analyzed post-partum renal biopsies of 8 preeclamptic patients with FSGS (group 1) by morphometry and glomerular studied the structural-functional relationships. These findings were also compared with those from three postpartum cases with minimal change lesion(group 2) and normal age-matched women(group 3). Mean glomerular volume (MGV) in group 1 and group 2 was (2.64 +/- 0.49) x 10(6) micrometer3 and (2.56+/-0.25)x 10(6) micrometer3, respectively. MGV in both groups was significantly increased compared with that of the control group [(1.11+/-0.22)x10(6) micrometer3](p<0.0005). The volume density of the mesangium/glomerulus [Vv(mes/glom)] in the group 1 patients was significantly increased (p<0.0001) when compared with that of the group 2 and the control group patients. The increment of Vv(mes/glom) was related to both the mesangial cell proliferation and expansion of mesangial matrix. The volume density of the capillary lumen/glomerulus [Vv(cap/glom)] in group I was significantly decreased(p<0.0001) when compared with that of group 2 and the control group. Vv(cap/glom) was directly related to Ccr in group l(r=0.70, p=0.05). These results suggest that reduced capillary luminal area caused by mesangial interposition is related to the decreased glomerular filtration rate in preeclamptic FSGS.

10.The Role of Peroneus Longus Insertion on First Metatarsal Against metatarsus varus force
Kyung Tae LEE ; Hyun Cheol KIM
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1996;31(3):584-589
It is likely that the peroneus longus tendon acts as a structure resisting the varus force upon the first column of the foot. Our study was designed to examine the possibility that absence of the peroneus longus insertion into the first metatarsal and first cuneiform will destabilize the first metatarsal. The fresh frozen cadaveric specimens of the lower leg were obtained. There were six right feet. The specimens appeared normal visually and roentgenographically. The tibial remnant was rodded by an intramedullary rod and the sprcimen was positioned in a specially designed rig so that standing position of the foot was simulated. The tibia was then loaded with twenty pounds. To obtain reproducible radiographic landmarks radioopaque beads were implanted underneath the level of the cortex through small drill holes in the following location : First metatarsal (one bead in the head, another bead in the base). The second metatarsal (again one bead in the head, on e bean in the base). To simulate the contraction of the peroneus longus muscle a suture was placed into the proximal end of the tendon, brought through two pulleys and loaded with a five pound weight. To create a varus force on the first metatarsal a stab incision was made over the base of the first metatarsal at its medial aspect and a suture was passed through the base of the first metatarsal. The suture was guided over a pulley and loaded with ten pounds. The second metatarsal head was fixed to the bottom of the rig with a smooth Steinmann pin. At this point an AP roentgenogram was taken of the footto assure proper positioning of the foot. Thereafter, the soft tissue between the first and second toe were cut sequentially : (1) Transection of the skin of the first web space both dorsally and plantarly. (2) Transection of the adductor hallucis tendon and the intermetatarsal ligament. (3) Transection of the peroneus longus tendon at its insertion. Each step in the transaction of the soft tissues was followed by another X-ray examination. In each roentgenogram the proximal and distal beads in the first and second metatarsal were connected by a line and the angles between those lines were measured. The results were statistically analyzed with the Friedman Chi square test between each step of the ten feet. Following the first and second step angular changes are not significant. Following the final step, adding release of the tendon insertion of the peroneus longus, the angle changes from 15.95 to 20.55 degrees (difference 4.60 degrees) and this is significant (p < 0.05).
