A study was made on 1,302 cases of skin tumors which were obtained mainly from surgical pathology specimen during the period of 14 years from 1973 to 1986 at Department of Dermatology in Korea University Hospital. The results were summarized as follows : 1. Of the 1,302 cases of skin tumors, 1,143 cases(87.8%) were benigh tumor, 159 cases(12.2%) of malignant tumor and male to female ratio was 1.1: l. 2. Among the 1,143 cases of benign tumors, 301 cases of epidermal cyst, 183 cases of lipoma, 173 cases of pigmented nevi and 88 cases of hemangioma were noted. 3. Among the 159 cases of malignant tumors, 46 cases of squamous cell carcinoma, 27 cases of basal cell carcinoma, 26 cases of malignant melanoma, and 17 cases of metastatic carcinoma were observed. 4. The sites of predilection of the epidermal cysts were trunk (21.9%), face (20.9%), and neck (13.9%) and lipoma was trunk (48.6%). The sites of predilection of the suamous cell carcinomas were penis (11.1%), sclap (12.9%), face (18.5%), and leg (11.1%), basal cell carcinoma was face (55.6%) and malignant melanoma was sole (26.9%). 5. Among the 17 cases of cutaneous metastatic cancer, primary sites were breast (4 cases), pancreas (1 cases), lung (2 cases), stomach (1 cases) and unkown sites (9 cases).

BACKGROUND: Sulfonylurea is recommended to be taken before meal. But since premeal administration is against Koreans usual medication habit, it can be the cause of poor compliance. Such recommendation is based on the results of a few clinical trials about appropriate medication time. But most of the clinical studies had a limitation : observe only acute effects of medication, subjects were only healthy volunteer. So the chronic effect of sulfonylurea of each kind must be validated. METHODS: From 1996 May to 1996 July, data were collected from diabetic patients who visited an university hospitals for managing diabetes and used a intermediate-acting sulfonylurea. The subjects were randomized to two groups of premeal group and postmeal group, by chart number and were asked to take the previous medicine according to assignment. After 1 month medication, mixed meal tolerance test was done with 300Kcal carbohydrate, 400+/-50Kcal diet. The subjects were switched to the other group and 2nd mixed meal tolerance test was done 1 month later. The Area under curves was calculated in preand post-prandial glucose curve and was compared by paired t-test. RESULTS: During the study period, total 16 diabetic patients were enrolled. There was no significant statistical difference between pre-prandial group and post prandial group in AUC. CONCLUSIONS: Intermediate-acting sulfonylurea can be administered at any time in relation to meaL.
