1.A Case of Tuberculosis VErrucosa Cutis.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1970;8(2):55-58
One case of tuberculosis verrucosa cutis associated with inguinal lymphnode enlargement is presented. The patient, 24 years old male, has had palm-sized, dark-brown colored, indurated verrucous patch on left buttoek since 12 years old. Diagnosis was confirmed by characteristic clinical appearance, laboratory findings and histopathology. So he has been treated with I.N.A.H., P.A.S., streptomycin and pyridoxine. Remarkable effect was observed.

2.Diagnostic Usefulness of Immunoblot Assay in Autoimmune Bullous Dermatoses.
Korean Journal of Immunology 1997;19(1):129-134
Immunologic or immunopathologic assays are neccesary for the diagnosis of autoimmune bullous dermatoses including pemphigus vulgaris (PV), bullous pemphigoid (BP), and epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA). The objectives of this study is to compare the sensitivity and usefulness of indirect immunofluorescence 0F) with that of immunoblot assay using amplified alkaline phosphatase staining system in the diagnosis of the above diseases; detection of disease-specific IgG autoantibodies. We selected 4 patients in each bullous dermatosis of PV, BP, and EBA, who had serum levels of IgG autoantibodies at a titer of 1:80 or higher. In each three disease, 2 patients with negative serum antibodies or serum titer lower than 1:20, were also enrolled. Among the former 4-patient groups the titers of IgG antibodies found on indirect IF were in the range of 1:80 to 1:160, whereas the titers recognized by immunoblot assay were 1 or 2 dilutions higher in most of these patients. In the latter 2-patient groups, 4 out of the 6 cases revealed antibody-positive on immunoblot-staining membrane. The indirect IF can be performed easily and seems favorable in the aspect of cost-effectiveness. However, immunoblot assay with sensitive staining method would be warranted in cases of antibody-negative or atypical clinical variants of autoimmunebullous dermatoses to confirm the diagnosis.

3.Insecticide tests for resistance on adults of Anopheles sinensis and Culex tritaeniorhynchus in Korea.
The Korean Journal of Parasitology 1969;7(1):29-31
During the summer season(July-August) in 1967, the insecticide tests for resistance on adult A. sinensis and C. tritaeniorhynchus were carried out in Gobu-Myun Jeongup-Gun, Chollapuk-Do, where many Japanese encephalitis cases occur every year. The mortality by 4.0% DDT in A. sinensis was 88.9% and by 4.0% dieldrin was 84.4%. Therefore the LC-50 of DDT for A. sinensis was 1.75%, while LC-50 of dieldrin was 1.1%. The mortality by 4.0% DDT in C. tritaeniorhynchus was 36.7%, and by 4.0% dieldrin was 6.0% The result indicates that A. sinensis in Korea is susceptible to DDT and resistant to dieldrin. C. tritaeniorhynchus is highly resistant to both DDT and dieldrin.

6.Immunohistologic Differentiation Between Bullous Pemphigoid and Epidermolysis Bullosa Acquisita.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1987;25(3):361-365
Due to the limited availability of immunoelectron microscopy, an alternative method for the differentiation between anti-lamina lucida and anti-sublamina densa antibodies was introduced; indirect immunofluorescence using NaCl-treated human skin as the substrate. In this study author examined sera and lesional skin of 4 cases of bullous pemphigoid (BP), and 2 cases of epidermolysis bulloaa acquisita(EBA) with the above mentioned indirect imrnunofluorescence and modified direct immunofluorescence to evaluate the specificity of the tests. The results showed that in BP the fluorescence patterns were epidermal in 3 patients with 1 combined by indirect immunofluorescence, and epidermal in all 4 patients by modified direct immunofluorescence. In ERA the fluorescence were dermal patterns in both 2 patients by indirect and modified direct immunofluorescence. These data are further confirming the syecificity and the reproducibility of the NaCl extraction technique for the irnmunofluorescence to differentiate the localization of the autoantibodies in the above two bullous dermatoses.

9.A Case of Imcontinentia Pigmenti.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1970;8(1):51-54
One case of Incontinentia pigmenti associated with convulsion has been presented and she has delayed growing and emerciation. The patient who was four months old girl had been affected irregular mesh-like dark brown or chocolate colored pigmentation on both leg (inner surfeee). Diagnosis was confirmed by characteristic clinical appearance, laboratory findings and histopathology.

10.The Comparison of Endoscopic Variceal Band Ligation (EVL) with and without Over Tube.
Korean Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy 1994;14(4):391-396
Endoscopic variceal band ligation requires the incertion of over tube. Since adopting EVL, we encountered pharyngeal trauma and complaints of severe pain during over tube insertion. So We compared the safety and efficacy of EVL according to the method of scope insertion, as over tube and free hand method. We studied 49 patients who require EVL due to grade 3 esophageal varices. The group l consist of 26 patients who undergone EVL without over tube and group 2 consist of 23 patients who undergone EVL with over tube. There were no differences in basal arterial oxygen saturation by pulse oxymeter, basal heart rate and EKG by EKG monitor, hemoglobin concentration, and Child class between 2 groups. The changes of arterial oxygen saturation and EKG were not different between 2 groups during EVL. And the symptom score and speed of single band ligation were similar in over tube and free hand method of EVL. The complication induced by scope insertion methods is minor pharyngeal trauma only in over tube group. We suggest that over tube method of EVL can be replaced by free hand method in patients who complain of severe pain during over tube insertion, and with anatomical abnormality of oropharynx and urgent cases in which require good vision.
