Darier's disease is a congenital dyskeratosis and is as an autosomal dominant reait but a case with a family history is relatively rare and only 2 such cases have been reported in Korea. We present typical Darier's disease occuring in a mother and her 2 daughters. A 45 year-old female has shown muitiple, confluent, dirty verrucous keratotic papules on the seborrheic area and whitish papules on the sotf palate since the age of 7 year-ole. Histologically there, are corps ronds, grains and suprabssal lacunae in the epidermis.

Two hundreds and ninty-four prostitutes of foreign soldiers of K2 area in Taegu were investigated for their general circumtances, clinical and bacteriological studys from Mar. 1978 to May 1979. The results were as foIIows: The age group of 20-24 year-old constituted highest proportion at the level of about 53.4% Averge age of total casea was about 26.2. The propartion of those who were more than 35 occupied about 7.2%. The positive rate of Cram negative displococci (GND) on dirert smers showed highest in December and, January and lowest in-April. Wcekly distribution shwed a higher in second and fourth week. Nongonococcal infect.ions occupied about 45.4%. and total raes. The causative oanism. were niostly Gram negative and Gram positive bacilli. The mothly spells and perons with gonorrhea priod prevaIence rate showed a higher rate in Becember, January and July. The prevalence ratio of gonorrhea and syphilis was 13: 1. The examined cases occupied about 34.3, during first 2 month is after registration. The seasoal vari tion of registrators and cancellators were both most in winter. The positive rate of GND was ahout 53.1% in new comers less than two month-examinations after regiatration. Cervical erosion or chronic cervicitis .;howed about 44.8% among the examined 96% cases. Gonococci were isoIated about 25.6% among the ones with cervical lesions on Thayer-Martin media. On the other hand, the ones without lesions were about 11.3% comparatively. Syphilis period prevalence rate was about 8. 5 A. The titers of VDRL slide test were low (1; 8 or less). Two-thirds of positive cases of GND were treated by penicillin, although tetracycline and spectinomycin were also used in a few cases. The penicillin hypersensitivity sho- wed positive results in 9.7% of all treated cases.

A case of 38 year old woman had noted 3 lesions with asymptomatic, reddish brown colored, coin sized, slightly elevated, confluent patches on the right postauri-cular for about 20 years. The infiltrate in the patches felt moderately firm to the touch. the lesions were suspected to be chronic dermatitis group, erythema multiforme or granuloma annulare clinically, but the histopathologic features showed the typical findings of granuloma faciale. Literature was briefly reviewed for the discussion and comparision of clinical features and histopathological findings of author's case with the 2 cases previously reported in Korea.

Conjoined twins occur when there is imcomplete fission of the inner cell mass later at approximately 13 to 15 days after fertilization. The earlist case in the literat.ure appears to be that of the Biddenden Maids who were born in England in 1100. since then over two hundred cases of successful separation were reported on literature. And also successful separation cases were reported by Seung et al.(1991) in Korea. Conjoined twins occur between one in 50,000 to 100,000 births but real incidence is one in 200,000 because two thirds are stillbirth or died immediately after birth. The conjoined twins are not associated with maternal age, race or family history and 70 % of them are females. We experienced a case of conjoined twins with omphalopagus and performed surgical separation. A brief review of related literatures was done.

Thirty patient with essential hypertension were administered Manidipine, a new calcium antagonist, 10~20mg once daily to evaluate the hypotensive efficacy and safety for 8 weeks. And the followings were the result. 1) Patients were consists of 14 male, 16 female, aged 53 in average and classified as mild in 21 and moderate in 9 patients. 2) Optimum intial dose was 10mg and 10 to 20mg were the doses recommended. 3) Blood pressure dropped after 8 weeks 24/13mmHg in average, rewarding 80% effectiveness and normalized in 87%. 4) Most frequent side reaction was facial flushing in 5 patiens followed by palpitation and dizziness, all of which did not disturb the continuation of medication. 5) Most of routine laboratory parameter were normal and unchanged between before and after the trial. 6) Overall rating of usefulness was 77%. In conclusion, Manidipine 10 to 20mg once daily regimen is well tolerated and effective in the treatment of mild to moderate essential hypertension.

Ambulatory BP monitoring was performed in a patients with pheochromocytoma before and after removal of the tumor. Before surgery, it did not show any significant diurnal variation. But, after surgery the diurnal variation was restored.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mortality of patients over eighty years old with femoral neck fractures that have been treated with bipolar endoprostheses. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively studied 37 patients out of a total of 83, who suffered from hip fractures and were treated with surgery from 2000 through December 2004. We attempted to distinguish the differences between the 8 patients who died (Group A) and the 29 patients who lived (Group B). The variables that we analyzed, were: age, sex, operative time, the time period from admission to surgery, the time period from admission to discharge, the ASA score, and any medical comorbidities. Results: In Group A, 2 patients died within 1 month, 2 died between 1 and 6 months, 1 died between 6 and 12 months, and 3 died after 1 year. There were statistical differences between Group A and Group B with respect to two variables: the time period from admission to, and medical comorbidities. Conclusion: There were significant correlations with an increase in the mortality rate among patients with lung disease, female patients in general, and delays in surgery. Therefore, particular care should be paid to patients with these variables.
