2.Maffucci's Sundrome ( Dyschondroplasia with Hemangiomata ).
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1974;12(1):27-32
A case of Maffucci's syndrome, which was considered to be a first case reported in Korean literature, was presented with review of literatures. The patient, 17 years old Korean girl, had muliple cutaneous cavernous type hemangioma on the right foot and ankle area with an enchondroma in the third toe which showed slight shortening of length and abnormality on bone X-ray study. Authors presented this case with the results of histopathological examination of the skin and bones and right side femoral angiography for establishment of the diagnosis.

3.Twenty Six Cases of Exfoliative Dermatitis: It's Clinical, Etiological, Laboratory Findings and Courses of Treatment, with Review of Literatures.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1974;12(2):9-15
Twenty six cases of Exfoliative dermatitis were found during the years from July of 1967 to June of 1972 at the department of dermatology of Chonnarn University Hospital, and the cases of the disease were studied for ciinical signs and symptoms, etiological factors, laboratory findings and responses to the treatment. The incidence of the disease to total number of skin patients in the years: 0. 2%, mean age distribution: 41. 9 years old, and the most cornmon etiological factors: drugs such as 4. 4-diaminodiphenylsulfone (dapsone, DDS), mercurial preparations, herbs and arsenicals in order, were found. The distinct laboratory findings of the disease revealed leukocytosis, eosinophilia and hypoproteinemia. However, the results of liver function tests (SGOT, SGPT, CCF, TTT, Alk. phosphatase) were found to be generally within normal limits in cases of hypoproteinernia. The clinical symptoms of the disease appeared to be lymphadenopathy, coated or avitaminosis type glossitis or stomtitis with characteristic skin lesions of the disease. In the treatment of the disease, the authors emphasized careful treatment to correct fluid and electrolyte balance and hypoproteinemia with adequate topical skin management. The authors also had discussions of the etiological factors comparing with other literatures, clinical signs and symptoms, therapeutical achievement and problems, and reviewed the literatures of the disease.

The results of treatment of injuries of the thoracic and thoracolumbar spine with neurological involvement have been reviewed in a retrospective study of 14 patients who received surgical treatment. Seven patients were treated with open reduction and Harrington instrumentation and the others were treated with anterior fusion, laminectomy only, Roger wiring with H-graft and posterior fusion respectively. In the former group, distraction rods were used in all patients. Three patients with incomplete paraplegia and of the 4 patients with complete paraplegia, two patients showed marked neurological improvement. While, in the latter group, only two patients with incomplete paraplegia showed marked neurological improvement. Harrington instrumentation allowed easier postoperative nursing and early mobilization of the patients.

Korean Journal of Dermatology 1972;10(3):187-189
Pityriasis Circinata is a rare, symptomless, etiologically uncertain disease, but often associated with chronic illness such as Tuberculosis, diseases of uterus and ovaries. It was first described- in Japan by Toyama(1906), Matsura(1906), then reported in South Africa, France, England, Germany, and North-Africa. However, much more frequent evidence noted in Far East. Many authers agree that this condition is a specific localized type of acquired ichthyosis. This disease is manifested by strictly round scaly, light or dark brownish ichthyotic patches of variable number and diameter. Mainly distributed on trunk, and extremities with freedom of flexure. And having history of winter exacerbation and summer remission. These two cases of pityriasis Circinata are, although Toyama quoted 4 Korean patients reports and 2 cases of Manchuria, the first report in Korea, which have been associated with tuberculous empyema and meningitis, respectively.

BACKGROUND: Ischemic preconditioning reduces the infarct size and the severity of arrhythmia in a post-ischemic reperfused heart although the detailed mechanism is unknown. In the ischemic heart, a large amount of catecholamine is released from the adrenergic nerve terminal and this aggravates cell destruction and arrhythmia. In this study, the possibility for ischemic preconditioning to inhibit the release of endogenous catecholamine from the ischemic heart was tested to investigate the probable cardioprotective mechanism of ischemic preconditioning. METHODS: In the isolated, Langendorff perfused rat hearts, we observed the protective effect of ischemic preconditioning against post-ischemic reperfusion injury, and measured the amount of catecholamine released into coronary effuent. In addition, we observed the effect of catecholamine depletion on reperfusion injury in non-preconditioned and preconditioned hearts. RESULTS: During the reperfusion(20min) after ischemia(30min), the cardiac function was markedly depressed with the development of severe contracture. In the heart preconditioned by three sequential episodes of 5min ischemia and 5min reperfusion, the reperfusion contracture decreased significantly and the cardiac function was almost recovered to normal after 20min reperfusion. The release of lactate dehydrogenase was also decreased in the preconditioned heart. The release of endogenous catecholamine was abruptly increased immediately after the reperfusion and the release was exponentially decreased throughout the reperfusion period. THe pattern of catecholamine release was much different from that of lactate dehydrogenase release. In the preconditioned heart, the release was significantly decreased to about half of that in non-preconditioned t\heart. Endogenous catecholamine depletion by reserpine treatment did not affect the post-ischemic functional recovery in both non-preconditioned and preconditioned hearts. CONCLUSION: It is suggested from these results that ischemic preconditioning inhibis the release of endogenous catecholamine during ischemic period, which may be partly related to cardioporotective effect of preconditioning in ischemic and reperfused heart.

8.Further Studies of Adenosine Deaminase in the Human Skin (II).

Adenosine deaminase (adenosine aminohydrolase, E.C.3. 5. 4. 4; ADA), which catalyzes the deamination of adenosine to yield inosine and ammonia, was characterized in the human penile foreskin. ADA was found to be present in both layers of the skin with slightly higher activity in the epidermis(Epidermis; (7. 2+2. 3) * 10-4 unit/mg protein, Dermis;(5. 7 +1. 9) *10-4 unit/mg protein). The enzyme exhibited a broad pH optimum from 6. 5 to 8. 0 in both layers of the skin, and was heat-labile, being completely inactivated by heat treatment at 70C-75 C for 10 minutes. In contrast to the ADA of other tissue, the enzyme was inhibited by 2 mM of Cu2+, Fe2+ and Co2+ at pH7. 0 in both layers of the skin. The inhibitory effect of Cu2+ on the enzyme was stronger than other metal ions, and the enzyme was completely inactivated by 20 mM of Cu2+ in both layers. The Cu2+ inhibited enzyme activities which were recovered by adding EDTA. From the above results, it is suggested that the enzyme in both layers of the skin are consisted of same types of isozymes.
