We experienced a 54-year-old female patient who had multiple vegetaing plaques and, peripherally, a few pustules in her both axillae. On the skin biopsy specimen of the vegetating plaque, it showed acanthosis, suprabasal acsntholysis, papillo-matosis, downward proliferation of the epidermis, and eosinophilic microroabscess in the epidermis. The indirect immunofluorescence study disclosed anto-antibody positive to intercellular substance of the lip of guinea pig, while direct. immuno-fluorescence of the perilesional skin reealed no specific findings. The skin lesion had improved with topical and systemic steroid therapy.

Kaposi's sarcoma is a rare tumor comprising 0.1 per cent of all malignancies worldwide. There is, however, an increased ineidence following renal transplantation, immunosupression and in the acquried immunodeficency syndrome(AIDS) Kaposi's sarcoma has been shown to involve every organ of the body except the brain. Gastrointesinal involvement is the most common extracutaneous site of involvement. Gaatrointesinal Kaposis sarcoma is preaent in approximately half of patients with cutaneous Kaposis sarcoma and the acquired immune deficiency syndrome(AIDS). Although usually asymptomatic, gastrointestinal Kaposi's sarcoma may cause pain, bleeding, diarrhea, obstruction, intussusception, perforation. malabsorption, and protein-losing enteropathy. Three distinct gastroscopic appearances of Kaposi's sarcoma have been described: maculopapular, polypoid, and umbilicated nodular lesions. We report a case of Kaposis sarcoma of the stomach.

The potential of malignant melanoma to metastasize to all parts of the body is well known. Metastatic melanoma of the stomach may present with vague gastrointestinal symptoms, abdominai pain, or gastrointestinal bleeding. When gastrointestinal symptoms occur in a patient with known melanoma, gastric metastases should be considered. Melanoma metastatic to the stomach develops multiple small ulcerating masses. These sharply delineated submucosal lesions have been described as having a "bull's eye" or "target" configuration. Barium X-ray study, endoscopy, cytology study, and biopsy may yield the diagnosis. The prognosis is poor. We report a case of metastatic melanoma of the stomach with the review of the literature.

A case of generalized primary amyloidosis with a reveiw of the literatures is reported. The 38 year old patient suffered from malabsorption syndrome for a year and was presented chronic renal failure with renal enlargment, myxedema and hemorrhagic gastritis. Biopsy of kidney and stomach revealed characteristic findings of amyloidosis by congo red stain and electronmicroscopy.

There are 3 basic methods for surgical treatment of axillary osmidrosis; 1) method that removes only subcutaneous cellular tissue without removing skin 2) method that removes skin and subcutaneous cellular tissue en bloc, and 3) method that partially removes skin and subcutaneous cellular en bloc as well as removing the subcutaneous cellular tissue of the adjacent region. We studied the results of partial removal of the skin and subcutaneous cellular tissue en bloc, as well as the removal of subcutaneous cellular tissue of the adjacent region to compare the results of the bipedicled flap with the graft conversion method. There was no difference between two methods in results and complication rates. There are 3 advantage to this procedure. First, about 70-80% of apocrine glands were centrally distributed among the axillary hairbearing region therefore, resection of the central portion of axillary hair distribution area is important for good result. Second, the preservation of the subdermal plexus with careful excision of adjacent underlying subcutaneous tissue under the aid of the magnifying surgical loupe, is important for good wound healing. Third, the central excision of the axillary hair distribution area provides good exploration for undermining and defatting of the undersurface of the adjacent area, therefore it tooks a shorter operation time.

Korean Journal of Nosocomial Infection Control 1998;3(1):23-31
BACKGROUND: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is hardly controllable organism among the pathogen of nosocomial infection, because it is resistant to most antibiotics except vancomycin and local treatment with most antiseptics are not effective to eradicate MRSA from the infected wounds. There is increasing fear that MRSA infection can be spread widely in the hospitals. The effectiveness of Gentian Violet against MRSA was reported by Saji et al in 1992 for the first time. We tried Gentian Violet dressing on MRSA infected wounds to evaluate whether at not the Gentian Violet is effective to eradicate 11RSA which existed in the open wound. METHODS: 24 patients were treated by wet dressing with 0.1%Gentian Violet soaked gauze twice daily. They included 10 cases of sacral and trochanteric pressure sore, 6 cases of postoperative wound infectious, 3 cases of posttraumatic skin defects, 2 cases of DM foot, 1 case of post infectious skin defect and 2 cases of electrical burn, The wound culture was evaluated for elimination of MRSA infection twice weekly. RESULTS: The clinical results revealed that MRSA was not detected in all cases within 34days (average 13.5 days) after topical administration 0.1% Gentian Violet. CONCLUSION: There is no evidence of tissue irritation with Gentian Violet dressing on open wound or wound margin. After negative conversion of MRSA with Gentian Violet dressing, gram (-) organism was isolated in a half of the cases. 0.1% Gentian Violet topical administration is a useful treatment method of wound infection with MRSA.

In the present study, culture conditions to secrete proteinases from C. albicans, C. tropicalis and C. parapsilosis were examined. All three Candida species were found to secrete proteinases from acceleration phase to stationary phase, although the proteinase activities in culture filtrate were maximal during late exponential or early stationary phase. The proteinase activity in the culture filtrate of C. albicans cells grown at 30'C, was much higher than those grown at either 20 or 37'C. In culture of C. tropicalis and C. parapsilosis, the highest activity was found in culture filtrate grown at 37C. C. albicans secreted proteinases well in medium at initial pH 4.0-7.0. The optimal initial pH of medium for proteinase secretion was 7.0 for C. tropicalis and 5.0-6.0 for C. parapsilosis. All three Candida species secreted proteinases to greater amount in aerobic state. The most effective carbon source for proteinase secretion was xylose, glucose, maltose and sucrose for C. albicans, xylose for C. tropicalis and trehalose for C. parapsilosis. The effects of proteins, hydrolyzed proteins, ammonium sulfate as a sole nitrogen source on proteinase secretion were examined. Bovine serum albumin was the most effective nitrogen source of those tested and a little proteinase activity was detected in the culture filtrates when yeast cells were incubated in the medium containing ammonium sulfate. C. parapsilosis secreted proteinases to greater amount than the other Candida species in all nitrogen sources under study, indicating that C. parapsilosis proteinase would not be a inducible but a constitutive enzyme.
