Annals of Dermatology 1999;11(2):78-81
Solitary morphea profunda is a rare form of scleroderma, characterized clinically by a solitary sclerotic plaque, and histologically by marked dermal and subcutaneous fibrosis with an inflammatory infiltrate. We describe another case of this entity presented with an ulcerative, indurated plaque on the left iliac crest, which histologically revealed a focal incidental acantholysis in the overlying epidermis and a marked eosinophilic infiltration through the dermis to the sub-cutaneous tissue.

Pulmonary metastasis occurs frequently in patients with gestational choriocarcinoma and most of these patients achieve remission with chemotherapy alone. Thus, the indications for surgical intervention are limited, but in appropriately selected patients, resection of a chemotherapy-resistant lung lesion can be curative. We have experienced that pulmonary metastatic choriocarcinoma in a drug-resistant patient was cured by pulmonary resection. So we report this case with a brief review of literatures.

A controlled study was carried out in 50 patients with perennial bronchial asthma to assess the efficacy and safety of budesonide turbuhaler. Subjects have suffered from cough, wheezing, dyspnea and chest tightness and showed either 15% of reversibility in FEV after bronchodilator inhalation or airway hyperresponsiveness to methacholine(PC20 < or = 25mg/ml.) Patients were randomized to treatment with budesonide turbuhaler or terbutaline turbuhaler for 8 weeks after 2 weeks of run-in period. Budesonide turbuhaler was effective for cough, wheezing, dyspnea and chest tightness. It improved peak expiratory flow rate and FEV1. Budesonide turbuhaler was tolerated well and the laboratory tests showed no abnormality. It is suggested that budesonide turbuhaler is effective and safe in the management of bronchial asthma.

We have experienced two cases of Wernicke's encephalopathy associated with hypere-mesis gravidarum. Delay in it's diagnosis caused a protracted illness and persisting neurol-ogic deficits. Because of its association with chronic alcoholism, possibility of Wernicke's encephalopathy may not be considered in early stage of disease. The clinical feature, the principle of management and the prevention of Wernicke's encephalopathy are discussed.

To evaluate the lipid-lowering effect of lovastatin(Mevacor(R)), lovastatin was administered to 38 patients with non-familial hypertcholesterolemia(>220mg/dl). The analysis of the effect was made with 25 patients(58.2+/-7.5 years ; 13 male, 12 female)who had received lovastatin more than 12 weeks. The drug was administered as a single dose with evening meal 20mg at the begining and adding another 20mg if the total cholesterol level was persistently higher than 200mg/dl at the end of each 4 week-period. 1) Total cholesterol level was decreased from 256.6+/-36.9mg/dl to 20932+/-50.1mg/dl at the end of the 4th week, 201.9+/-44.2mg/dl the 8th week and 203.6+/-39.6mg/dl the 12th week (p<0.001), respectively). 2) Triglyceride level was decreased from 196.4+/-104.1mg/dl to 163.4+/-74.4mg/dl at the end of the 4th week(p<0.05) but no significant change at the end of the 8th week showing 169.8+/-73.2mg/dl and 162.7+/-54.8mg/dl the 12th week(p<0.05). 3) High density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) level was not significantly changed with the drug during the 12 week treatment period. 4) Low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C) level was decreased remarkably similar to that of total cholesterol. 5) Total cholesterol/HDL-C ratio was decreased from 5.05+/-0.92 to 4.06+/-1.40 at the end of the 4th week(p<0.05), 3.89+/-0.99 the 8th week(p<0.001). 4.20+/-1.10 the 12th week(p<0.01). 6) LDL-C/HDL-C ratio was decreased from 3.24+/-0.94 to 2.43+/-1.21 at the end of the 4th week(p<0.05), 2.23+/-0.86 the 8th week(p<0.001) and 2.54+/-0.98 the 12th week(p<0.05). 7) There was no significant side effect on lovastatin therapy of 12 weeks duration. 8) The laboratory findings including liver function test, uric acid, creatinine, creatine phosphokinase and blood glucose were not changed significantly. From above results we concluded that lovastatin is safe and effective hypocholesterolemic agent in its clinical use.
