2.Clinical Study with Descresept(R).
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1976;14(2):97-100
The 16 out of 19 cases with combined oral administration oral of Descrespet and Tetracycline hydrochloride were considerably more effective in treatment of severe acne than Tetracycline hydrochloride alone or placebo in this study. 10 cases of atopic dermatitis and 6 severe acne with side effect for tetracycline hydrochlorid, such as aMominal discomfortness, also treated with Descresapt: 7 cases of atopic dermatitis and 4 acne cleared definitely faster than in patient not given Descresept Conclusively, it is cnosidered that the Descresept is effective in the tretment of severe acne and atopic dermatitis.

3.A Case of Hereditary Anhidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1973;11(2):69-72
A case of hereditary anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia associated with atopic dermatitis in 16 month old male is reported. He has been suffered from multiple symptoms of anhidrosis, hypotrichosis, anodontia and atopic dermatitis. The skin showed pale, shiny, thin and dry and hairless on whole body except in the scalp. Without sweat gland and flattening of epidermis on skin biopey is compatible with an hereditary anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.

4.A Case ofFamilial Benign Chronic Pemphigus.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1974;12(4):245-248
A case of familiar benign chronic pemphigus is reported. A 41 years old housewife has recurrent history of developing grouped vesicular eruptions with erythematous erosion on the intertrigenous area since 29 years of her age. The lesions were used to aggrevated in summer and improved in autumn. Familiar history revealed same disease of her grand mother, father, 44 year old elder sister and 39 year old younger sister. All of whom had similar clinical signs and symptoms. Routine physical and laboratoryfindings were within normal limits. The histopathological findings, from vesicular eruption of the lateral aspect of neck, showed multilocular suprabasal clefts with acantholsis, villi formation and hyperkeratosis. The lesions were-improved hy the local application of corticosteroidoid ointment only.

5.A Case of the Primary Malignant Melanoma in Conjunctiva.
Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 1969;10(4):19-21
Malignant melanoma is considered as one of the tumor originated from precancerous melanosis and predilected in the iris and choroid. The Authors experienced a case of malignant melanoma affecting the upper palpebral conjunctiva in 39 year old female. The tumor mass was excised radically and followed by X-Ray therapy. Slight opacities of lens body is developed after X-ray irradiation.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the safety and efficacy of intravaginal misoprostol versus intracervical dinoprostone (prostaglandin E2 gel) for cervical ripening and labor induction. METHODS: 60 patients with indication for labor induction and unfavorable cervices were randomly assigned to receive either intravaginal misoprostol or intracervical dinoprostone. 50 microgram tablets of misoprostol were placed in the posterior vaginal fornix every 4 hours for a maximum of 3 doses or dinoprostone 0.5mg was placed into the endocervix every 6 hours for a maximum of 2doses. No more medication was given after either spontaneous rupture of membranes or beginning of active labor. RESULTS: Among 60 patients enrolled, 30 received misoprostol and 30 received dinoprostone. The average interval from start of induction to active labor was shorter in misoprostol group (6.5+/-3.2 hours) than in the dinoprostone group (10.7+/-7.3 hours) (p<0.05). Oxytocin augmentation of labor occurred more often in the dinoprostone group (36.7%) than in the misoprostol group (10.0%) (p<0.05). There was a higher prevalence of fetal distress (23.3% versus 3.3%) and tachysystole (16.6% versus 6.6%) in the misorprostol group than in the dinoprostone group(p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Vaginally administered misoprostol is an effective agent for cervical ripening and induction of labor. Furthermore, the cost of misoprostol ( 360/200microgram) is much less than that of dinoprostone ( 42,000/0.5mg). Cost benefits from administration of misoprostol are evident, especially in clinics under system of diagnosis-related group (DRG) : however when given at this dosage, it is associated with a higher prevalence of fetal distress and tachysystole than dinoprostone. Further studies to compare the safety of misoprostole to that of dinoprostone and to delineate an optimal dosing regimen for misoprostol are needed.

Korean Journal of Pathology 1988;22(4):510-514
Fibrous histiocytoma composed of fibroblasts and histiocytes is quite variable in histologic pattern. The biologic behavior is unpredictable by histologic ground. This tumor is well-known in subcutaneous tissue and deep soft tissue, but quite rare in central nervous system. We experienced a case of the fibrous histiocytoma involving the dura mater of spinal cord in a 26 year old female patient. In gross findings, the mass was a well demarcated, ovoid mass attached to the dura matter, and measured 2.5x1.5 cm in diameter. The cut surface was rubbery, solid, gray-white or yellow. Microscopically, the lesion consisted of polyhedral cells with round or oval nuclei and faintly eosinophilic or vaculoated cytoplasm, and multinucleated giant cells. Some giant cells were Touton-type. Composing cells were bland-looking. Mitotic figures were average 3 per 10 high power fields.

Korean Journal of Physical Anthropology 1990;3(2):119-129
The primitive erythroblasts in 21 cases of embryonic hearts from 4 to 9 weeks of gestation were studied with a light microscope. The nuclear diameter, the motosis, and the loss of nuclei of the primitive erythoblasts were analyzed quantitatively. The results obtained were as follows. 1. At 4 weeks of gestation, the blood cells consisted of proerythroblasts, along with basophilic polychromatophilic primitive erythroblasts. The nuclear diameter ranged from 3.20 µm to 9.20 µm, but the main range was from 4.20 µm to 6.00 µm. It was revealed that 9.50% had diameter of more than 6 µm. 2. At the fist half of the 7 week gestation when hepatic hemopoiesis developed, the blood cells consisted of basophilic, polychromatophilic, and eosinophilic erythroblasts. Cells of more than 6 µm in nuclear diameter were about 1.10% and thereafter gradually disappeared. The range of the nuclear diameters was from 2.60 µm to 7.00 µm, while a range from 3.40 µm to 5.20 µm wqs the main. The proportion of cells less than 4 µm in nuclear diameter was 39.58% and thereafter rapidly increased. 3. From the second half of 7 weeks to 9 weeks of gestation, the erythrocytes originating from hepatic hemopoiesis increasingly replaced the circulating primitive erythroblasts, which became mature during this time. The erythrocytes showed 72.88% at 9 weeks of gestation. The proportions of cells less than 4 µm in nuclear diameter in the first and second haIves of 8 weeks and 9 weeks were 52.73%, 80.02%, and 89.09%, which represented the rapid destruction of nuclei. 4. Mitosis in the primitive erythroblasts occurred principally up to the early 6th weeks, and very weakly at 8 weeks. 5. As the crown-rump length increased, the average nuclear diameter decreased very significantly (P<0.01, y=-0.2811X + 0.3171). The results suggest that distrilbution of the nuclear diameter, the maturity, the rate of nuclear loss, and the mitotic figure offer credible data for estimating embryonic age.

Korean Journal of Pathology 1987;21(4):303-307
The clinical and pathological features of a case Malignant mixed mullerian tumor of the ovary in 45 year-old female patient with a brief review of the literature are presented. She had both ovarian tumors. The masses are multilocular cystic tumor with interspersed solid component. The cystic component is filled with serous fluid. Microscopically the tumor is composed of epithelial element & intimately related mesenchymal element. The epithelial element shows the findings of adenocarcinoma of solid, glandular and papillary growth. The mesenchymal element is composed of malignant-looking stroma with cartilage formation.
