3.The Results and Prognostic Factors of Mitomycin C Trabeculectomy in Neovascular Glaucoma.
Yeungnam University Journal of Medicine 2002;19(2):126-135
BACKGROUND: Neovascular glaucoma is common secondary glaucoma at high risk for failure of glaucoma filtering surgery. Recently, trabeculectomy with adjunctive mitomycin C trabeculectomy has been tried to improve the surgical success rate of conventional trabeculectomy. But, the long-term effects of mitomycin C trabeculectomy for neovascular glaucoma are unknown. Thus, we evaluated the long-term effects of mitomycin C trabeculectomy and its prognostic factors influencing the outcome. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Medical records of 62 eyes of 55 neovascular glaucoma who had undergone mitomycin C trabeculectomy were retrospectively reviewed. Surgical success was defined as intraocular pressures of 21 mmHg or less with or without glaucoma medications and no loss of light perception. Surgical failure was defined as postoperative loss of light perception in patients with preoperative vision better than light perception, additional glaucoma surgery, or phthisis bulbi in patients with preoperative vision of no light perception. RESULTS: Postoperative success was obtained in 37 (60%) out of 62 eyes after mean follow- up period of 23.9+/-16.2 months. Using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, cumulative success rate at the 6-, 12-, 24- and 36-month intervals were 85%, 71%, 57% and 52%, respectively. Success rate was greater in eyes with diabetic retinopathy than other causes(p=0.005) and in eyes with preoperative panretinal photocoagulation(PRP) than without PRP(p=0.015). However, Cox proportional hazard regression analysis revealed that preoperative PRP was not a significant risk factor for surgical failure. CONCLUSION: Prognosis of neovascular glaucoma caused by diabetic retinopathy was better than that caused by the other disorders following mitomycin C trabeculectomy. The author would suggest that mitomycin C trabeculectomy could be effective and relatively safe as the first procedure of choice before performing glaucoma drainage device implantation or cyclodestructive procedure.

4.A Case of Lupus Miliaris Disseminatus Faciei.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1972;10(3):183-185
A case of lupus miliaris desseminatus faciei, 23 year old male was reported. The multiple minute discrete yellowish brown superficial nodules, 2 to 3 mm in diameter, revealed apple-jelly color under diascopy without any subjective symptoms since June, 1971. The lesions affect lower eyelids, forehead, cheeks, malar region, upper lip, chin and nasolabial folds symmetrically. Histopathological findings revealed conglomerated individual tubercles with prominent central caseation necrosis. He was given 600mg of INH and 12 mg of PAS daily per os for 2 months. The eruptions were healed gradually with pitted scars.

5.Experimental Study on Tissue Mast Cell Change of Ratskin Elicited by Mechanical Irritation Under General and Local Ansthesia.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1972;10(1):11-22
Normal albino rats weighing 180-200 gm were used for a series of this investigation on change of skin mast cell under general and local anesthesia. At first, left side abdominal skin was prepared by hair cutting with scissors about 3cm square and eight irritations by mean of biting with tip of forceps mosquito were applied along the prepared skin margin. Skin specimens were submitted from central area which surrounded by irritated points and also from intact contra-lateral area in 15, 30, 60 and l20 minutes invervals. Submiitted skin specimens were fixed in 10% formalin solution, then were stained with 1% toluidine blue. The number of mast cell was counted under 450X of microscopic examination. CONCLUSION l. There were two stages in changes of skin tissue mast cell number on normal saline solution injected area and irritated area by mean of biting with tip of forceps without any types of anesthesia. i) Decreasing stage: Number of skin tissue mast cell was decreascd and reached to the lowest level at 30 minutes after each irritation. ii) Increasing stage: Number of skin tissue mast cell was increased to the highest level at 120 minutes after each irritation. 2. General ether anesthesia could not infIuence on the change of mast cell number after mechanical biting irritation. 3, Local anesthesia with 2% procaine hydrochloride solution revealed slightly suppressing effect to increasing number of mast cell at 60 and 120 minutes after mechanical irritation. Hnwever, it was not evidence at 15 and 30 minutes after mechanical irritation. 4. There was no significant change of rnast cell number in the intact contralateraI skin area within 120 minutes under gencral and local anesthesia. 5. The number of degranulated mast cells did not correlated with counted total number of mast cells.

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.

Korean Journal of Dermatology 1973;11(3):167-170
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.
