Annals of Dermatology 1993;5(1):30-33
A 19 month old girl with trisomy 18 is described. She showed loose folds of skin about the neck, a prominent occiput, a simian crease on both palms, epicanthal folds, acrocephaly, micrognathia, and unusual dermatologic features including total alopecia and no finger prints on either hands. Because of the simian crease on both palms, dermatoglyphics of both hands and total alopecia, a skin biopsy from the scalp and a chromosomal study were established at age 19-months, and an absence of hair follicles was observed, while peripheral blood lymphocytes demonstrated 47, XX, 4-18. To our knowledge, this would be the first recorded report on the dermatoglyphic pattern of Edwards syndrome in a Korean journal of dermatology.

4.A Case of Angiocentric Lymphoma Mimicking Behcet's Disease.

We report a case of angiocentric lymphoma in a 41-year-old female who complained chiefly of a genital ulcer and a bulging conjunctiva on the right eye. She had a history of a re-current oral ulcer over a 5 year period and a genital ulcer over 3 years. The above manifested clinical findings may suggest Behcet's disease. However, a biopsy from the upper vaginal wall and the inferior turbinate showed that atypical small and large lymphocytes with hyper-chromatic, elongated and convoluted nuclei had aggregated around the thickened blood vessels, which is consistent with angiocentric lymphoma. Immunophenotypically, the atypical cells were positive for pan T-cell markers not B-cells. Serologically, the patient showed a high titer of i?B virus viral capsid antigen(VCA) IgG.

Acquired perforating disease(APD) is characterized by hyperkeratotic papules with transepidermal elimination of degenerated material and is associated with renal disease and/or diabetes. Particular attention has been directed to transepidermal elimination because the articles on perforating diseases among patients with chronic renal failure and/or diabetes have been increasingly reported. We describe four patients with chronic renal failure and/or diabetes whose skin biopsy specimens showed transepidermal elimination.

BACKGROUND: Indomethacin is a potent inhibitor of prostaglandins biosysnthesis. Sunburn erythema is mainly mediated by prostaglandins. OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to compare objectively the effectiveness of topical indomethacin with topical corticosteroid on the suppression of UVB erythema METHODS: Sixteen male medical students who had not exposed their back skin during the last year were included in this study. According to the individual´s MED, 1,2, and 3 MED of UVB were irradiated on each back in triplicate lines. Immediately after UVB irradiation, 2.5% indomethacin solution and 0.25% desoximethasone were applied to each row with one row left for control. 24 hours after the initial application the intensity of each erythema was measured by the naked eye and by colorimeter. RESULTS: The suppressive effectiveness of 2.5% indomethacin solution on UVB induced erythema was superior to that of 0.25% desoximethasone. The L* and a* value of colorimeter were significantly correlated to the differencies of UVB induced erythema among the experimental and control groups is a useful and rapid method to evaluate the UVB induced erythema, and can give a numerical expression to eye perception. CONCLUSION: Our data confirm that topical indomethacin has a stronger suggestive effect on UVB erythema than that of topical corticosteroid.. We suggest that the suppressive effect of indomethacin is mainly due to the inhibition of prostaglandins biosynthesis. The colorimeter CR-200(MINOLTA) is well correlated with the naked eye score and is a useful instrument for objective measurement of the degree of erythema.

10.An histochemical study on the effects of collagenase during the relapse period following rat's tooth movement.
Korean Journal of Orthodontics 1984;14(1):173-182
The author has observed the effects of collagenase on the relapse phenomenon and the histochemical changes during the relapse period. 50 rats were used. : 3rats as a normal group, 15rats as control groups, and 32rats as experimental groups. Rat's teeth were moved for 10days with helical spring applied, followed by injection of "collagenase in Hank's sol." to the experimental groups and the "Hank's sol." to the control group in the interdental gingiva on the 10th day, and the spring was removed on the 11th day. After injection, the experimental animals were sacrificed on the 11th, 13th, 15th, 17th, 20th, and 24th day and perpared histochemically for the Hematoylin-Eosin, Van-Gieson, and Methyl Green-pyronin staining. The results are as follows: 1. Group I (11th day): In the control group the supracrestal fibers were stretched and the metabolic rate was high. Experimental group showed that supracrestal fibers were resor, bed, disarrayed, and the metabolic rate was low. 2. Group II (13th day): In the control group, the supracrestal fibers began to vhange from the vertical direction to tooth-axis to the parallel. Experimental group showed that supracrestal fibers were completely resorbed. 3. Group IV (17th day): The control group showed almost normal structure. Form this group the metabolic rates were low. Experimental group showed the most destructive pattern. 4. Group VI (24th day): Experimental group showed almost normal structure. It follows that experimental groups were relapsed less than the control groups, and collagenase was effective in the prebention of relapse after rat's experimental tooth movement.
