A case of lupus miliaris desseminatus faciei, 23 year old male was reported. The multiple minute discrete yellowish brown superficial nodules, 2 to 3 mm in diameter, revealed apple-jelly color under diascopy without any subjective symptoms since June, 1971. The lesions affect lower eyelids, forehead, cheeks, malar region, upper lip, chin and nasolabial folds symmetrically. Histopathological findings revealed conglomerated individual tubercles with prominent central caseation necrosis. He was given 600mg of INH and 12 mg of PAS daily per os for 2 months. The eruptions were healed gradually with pitted scars.

A case of Dariers disease was presented and the literatures were reviewed. The patient was 20 year old male whose skin lesions revealed normal skin colored, dirty, scaly, keratotic papules with mild itching on face, anterior chest, back, abdomen, axillae, groins and flexural surfaces of extremities. They had a tendency to aggrevate in summer and improve in winter. Histopathologically, suprabasal lacunae, hyperkeratosis, papiIIomatosis, moderate degree of acanthosis and corps ronds in Iacuna were demonstrated in the epidermis. Dermal papillae surrounded with single layer of basal cells proliferated inta the lacunae. Upper dermis revealed mild nonspecific inflammatory cell infiltrates.

A 17 year old female with Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber Syndrome is presented. Of particular interest was presence of congenital heart anomaly. The nevus flarnmeus invoIved her entire right leg and foot with hypertrophy, elongation and partial ulecration. Elongation of the right leg Iead cornpensatory vertebral scoliosis (Fig.1,2). The cutaneous temperature of affected side was higher than the other side, and. was larger on somatometry and osteometry (Table 1). On auscultation, grade III systolic blowing murmur was heard on left upper sternal border with second heart sound splitting. Electrocardiograrn revealed complete right bundle branch block (Fig. 3). Chest X-ray revealed cardiomegaly, increase 3 hilar shadaws and rnild pulmonary congestion (Fig. 4). Above mentioned signs suggests strongly secundum type of atrial septal defect. Femoral angiography didnt show arteriovenous malformation (Fig. 5). Authors experienced this rare variant of Klippel-Trenaunzy-Weber Syndrome acco- mapanying with congenital heart anamaly, and report this with review of literatures.

Authers observed one case of typical reactive perforating collagenosis (RPC) which did not seem to have been described in the Korean literature. A 19 year old male patient complained of a skin eruption involving his face, upper and lower extremities, and trunk in June 1973. The skin eruption appeared at the age of 10 and consisted of discrete papules of which the earliest lesion was a pinhead-sized, skin-colord papule, but it became older, it increased in size and developed a small central area of umbilication containing keratinous material. As new papules continued to develop, the older lesions regressed and disappeared with residual scar. No subjective symptom was obtained except intermittent, mild itching sensation which probably due to a irritation. The Keobner's phenomenon was observed on the dorsum of hands. He has acne vulgaris on the face with many of the individual comedones showing development into RPC. He also had a chronic maxillary sinusitis which was seemed to aggravate the skin eruption. In follow up period (about 5 months), the sinusitis was cured with operation, but the skin eruption was not improved. The family history was negative. Histopathological studies revealed typical RPC, i.e., a cup-shaped epidermal depression of which center was lacked the epidermis was noted, and through it, necrobiotic connective tissue, degenerating inflammatory- cells and collagen bundles are extruded to form a plug. Diagnosis was confirmed by clinical appearance and typical histopathologic features. The patient did not responed to topical application of 0. 1% Retinoic acid solution and Vitamin A and D.

Most insects including the honeybee cause erythema and edema at the site of a sting in non-allergic individuals. This reaction usually resolves within a few days. However, in certain cases, the persistence of inciting materials in the cutaneous tissue may promote a local inflammatory foreign body reaction. Localized nodular lesions were seen in our two patients and erythemstous patches were present in one patient due to rarely encountered complications induced by retained sting materials. In these cases histopathology showed multiple foci of foreign body granuloma containing yellow refraetile material in the center surrounded by histiocytes and foreign body giant cells. The granulomatous skin lesions in these patients were treated with intralesional injections of triamcinolone acetonide and partial excisions of the nodular masses were performed.

PURPOSE: The study was done to verify evidence-based practice (EBP) readiness and factors contributing to EBP competency in general hospital nurses. METHODS: Participants were 219 nurses working in 7 general hospitals in G-city and J Province. Data were collected from May 12 to May 28, 2015 and analyzed using one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation and stepwise multiple regression. RESULTS: Mean score for EBP competency was 3.89±0.83, for critical thinking disposition, 3.35±0.36, for EBP attitude, 3.53±0.66, for beliefs about value of EBP, 3.42±0.56, for ability in research performance, 2.86±0.57, for time to devote to EBP, 2.57±0.69 and for organization support for EBP, 3.36±0.46. EBP competency was significantly correlated with critical thinking disposition (r=.37, p<.001), beliefs about value of EBP (r=.43, p<.001), ability in research performance (r=.44, p<.001), and time to devote to EBP(r=.33, p<.001). Factors influencing EBP competency in general hospital nurses were research performance (β=.29, p<.001), beliefs about value of EBP (β=.24, p<.001), critical thinking disposition (β=.15, p=.014), recognition of EBP (β=-.18, p=.002), which together explained 35% of total variance. CONCLUSION: Findings indicate that introduction and activation of EBP in general hospitals is essential and development of systematic training programs to strengthen critical thinking disposition and EBP competency are needed.
