Actinic reticuloid as a manifestation of chronic actinic dermatitis (CAD) is a rare dermatosis whose clinical and histologic features resemble other types of pseudolymphomas including mycosis fungoides and Jessner's lymphocytic infiltration, and it is regarded as an eventual stage of various photodermatoses like photosensitive eczema or persistent light reaction or chronic photoallergic contact dermatitis and so on. Phototests in the patients with actinic reticuloid usually reveal hypersensitivity to UVB, UVA, and sometimes to visible light. We present a case of actinic reticuloid in a 65-year-old male, whose skin lesions developed as erythematous lichenified infiltrating plaques on the face at first, and then spread themselves onto the upper trunk later. Histologically those skin lesions showed the aggregation of atypical lymphocytes and photobiologically the results of phototests revealed photosensitivity to UVB and UVA.

Among the side effects of simvastatin, elevated liver enzyme or creatine kinase activity has been occasionally report-ed, but overt myopathy is rare. We report two cases of simvastatin-induced myopathy with usual dosages of simvas-tatin. Two patients presented with general myalgia, markedly elevated creatine kinase activity, and mild proximal weak-ness. One patient had been treated with concomitant use of cyclosporine and simvastatin after renal transplantation, and another patient had diabetic nephropathy. We recommend careful monitoring when myalgia appears in a patient receiv-ing simvastatin. (J Korean Neurol Assoc 19(4):435~437, 2001)

Primary splenic tumors are rare and mainly found incidentally on radiologic studies. Among them, sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation (SANT) of the spleen is a new entity defined as a benign pathologic lesion. Most SANTs have no clinical symptoms and are occasionally accompanied by other splenic diseases such as malignancies. So, the exact diagnosis of the nature of the splenic tumor is mandatory for further treatment. But, preoperative diagnosis is not easy since it is difficult to obtain the tissue from the spleen for pathological study. Recently, laparoscopic splenectomy has become the more standard procedure for the spleen for diagnosis and treatment. Here, we report a rare case of SANT diagnosed following laparoscopic splenectomy.

Plate fixation is being regarded as one of the reliahle fixation method in the management of tibial fractures. But this technique may leave many complications including infection. However, delayed local infection which developed several weeks after open reduction on the tibia has been rarely described as a complication in the literatures. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the contributing factors to the delayed locaI infection in tibial fracture treated with plate fixation. Authors reviewed and analyzed the 60 cases of tihial fracture that were treated with plate and screws from 1989 to 1996. Analyses dealt with fracture classification, laboratory and radiographic findings and the site of plate application. We defined a delayed local infection as a condition in which patient has infection signs on Jaboratory and physical examination at or over 8 week post-operation without any evidence of osteomyelitis on plain radiographs. We found 7 cases of delayed local infection out of 60 tibial fractures from 8 to 21 weeks postoperatively with an average of 14.1 weeks. All the 7 cases that had been treated with plate on medial aspect of tibia were treated by administration of antibiotics without surgery such as debridement or removal of hardwares. Authors concluded that the medial plating was the most important factor of the development of delayed local infection(Z=1.78).

STUDY DESIGN: A case report. OBJECTIVES: To report a case of diagnostic, clinical and radiologic follow-up of a non-traumatic atlanto-axial rotatory subluxation. SUMMARY OF LITERATURE REVIEW: Atlanto-axial rotatory subluxation, caused by a non-traumatic inflammation or infectious diseases, has been branded as "Grisel's syndrome". However, the pathophysiology of the syndrome has not been clearly understood, and its diagnostic criteria and appropriate treatment plans are not established. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The patient suffering from antlanto-axial subluxation without any neurological symptoms was treated with halter traction and Miami J brace. RESULTS: The patient maintained a normal reduction state, and a normal cervical movement was observed after undergoing 4 weeks of non-surgical treatment. CONCLUSION: Early detection and treatment are essential and critical in avoiding catastrophic outcomes. It requires a combination of clinical assessment and appropriate radiographic imaging.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effect of clinical and serological variables of SLE on pregnancy outcome and to analyze the effects of pregnancy on the disease course of SLE. METHODS: We studied retrospectively about 91 pregnancies in 41 female patients with SLE, who had visted to Kangnam St Mary Hospital from January,1990 to May,1996. We divided the patients into two groups, who had been pregnant before SLE was established versus who were pregnant after SLE had been established. We considered the former as control group. We compared the fetal or maternal outcomes after divided the latter into subgroups according to our purposes such as cases with lupus flare versus without lupus flare, autoantibody (+) cases versus (-) cases, cases with renal disease versus without renal disease. RESULTS: The rate of fetal loss, prematurity was 19. 7%, 46. 9% respectively in 63 cases of 32 patients who were pregnant after SLE had been estabished. The number of pregnancy loss and premature delivery was higher in pregnancy after SLE was established than before SLE was established. Lupus flare was associated with the positivity of antibody to ds DNA and negativity of antibody to Ro. The frequency of fetal loss was higher in pregnancies of antiphospholipid (+) women than those of antiphospholipid (-) women. Pregnancy with renal involvement was associated with short duration of gestation and small body weight of neonate. CONCLUSION: Lupus pregnancy remains highly risky from a maternal standpoint in terms of increased lupus activity and from fetal outcome standpoint in terms of fetal loss and preterm birth, especially in the antiphosphospholid positive mother.
