Osteochondromadevelop most commonly at distal femur, proximal humerus and proximal tibia, but the rib osteochondroma was reported less commonly. In this report, scapular snapping syndrome complicated by adventitious bursa and soft tissue pseudotumor surrounding the osteochondroma of the $6^{th}$ rib body was treated successfully by surgical excision of them. We report this rare case with reviewing the relevant literature.

Echinostomatid eggs were found from a 21year old man, whose native village is Munkyong-gun, Kyongsangnam-do during fecal examination in October 1983. The eggs were detected again one week later concommitantly with the eggs of Clonorchis sinensis. He had no subjective symptoms related with these fluke infections. He was treated with praziquantel ($Distocide^{\circledR}$) 20 mg/kg in single dose and purgated with magnesium salt. One echinostomatid fluke and 4 adults of C. sinensis were collected from the diarrheal stools. After morphological observation, the echinostomatid fluke was identified as Echinostoma hortense Asada, 1926. This is the first record on human E. hortense infection in Korea.

A total of 275 wild hats captured in Korea here examined 011 the possibility that they will harhor and spread the inkctious pathog.cns of Hantaan virus and Rickettsia. They possessed ontihotlies in 3.6'K) blood sera against Hantaan virus by the indirect in~~nunofluoresccnctec hnique and showed relatively high serum titers with a range of 16 to 1014X. whereus 13.7\ulcorner0 of them were positive to Rickettsia. dividing into 3.3% against R. ~.sur,~ugc~rnusllr.Ri.1 k, against R. siht)ric.n tick ~vphus,a nd 4.4% against R. thai tick pphus. respectively. 11 was first confirmed in Korean wild hats that arc infccted with Hantaan virus and Rickettsia agents. and play a role as vector.

As an effort to explore fungal diversity, fungal survey was undertaken in 2018 in Jangheung, Korea. For the survey, medicinal plant leaves were sampled from Selaginella tamariscina, Serratula coronata ssp. insularis, Scutellaria baicalensis, Scrophularia buergeriana and subjected to fungal isolation. Four unrecorded fungal species, Paraboeremia selaginellae, Colletotrichum camelliae, Alternaria eichhorniae, and Phomopsis capsici were obtained from the survey. This study described their morphological characteristics including colony features formed on media, light microscopic images and molecular characteristics of nucleotide sequences of the ITS and 28S rDNA regions.

Acanthosis nigricans usually has the characteristics that involve the development of darker pigmented patches and thickened skin with velvety texture on the body folds, and papillomatosis on lip and intraoral regions including tongue, gingiva, mucosa, palate. Malignant acanthosis nigricans, a type of acanthosis nigricans, occurs most commonly in association with underlying malignancy and characterically appears with three characteristic mucocutaneous lesion : especially of the lips and eyelids, hyperkeratosis of the palms and soles, the sign of Leser-Trelat. In the present report, the patient had typical clinical and histological findings of oral acanthosis nigricans, as well as past medical history associated with malignant gastric adenocarcinoma.

The amniotic band syndrome is an uncommon congenital fetal abnormality, presumably due to fetal entanglement in strands of ruptured amniotic sac. The defects caused by this syndrome vary from simple limb defects to major visceral and craniofacial defects. We cared for a newborn infant with this syndrome, who showed constriction rings of the right leg and right axilla, right club foot, thoracic scoliosis, polydactyly, absence of the right thumb and aplasia cutis of the scalp. We report this case with a brief review of the literature.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to report a case which gave various remarkable epilepsy treatment results by using oriental medicine. Methods We treated the patient with acupuncture as a main treatment and herbal medicine. We also recommended to the patient and patient's parents to continue oriental medical treatment for 2 years from now because symptomatic epilepsy is a type of disease which needs long term care. Results The epileptic seizure has been well controlled for 12 months so far, and the results was recorded by EEG. The EEG level was in normal range. Conclusions Even though this is only one case of the study but this case has an important meaning because the epilepsy was treated by oriental medicine, especially acupuncture treatment. The control of the symptomatic epileptic seizure was effective by means of increasing patient's quality of life. Further studies about effective treatment of symptomatic epilepsy would be needed with more various cases.

This research has reported that the selection and assessment of treatment in anxiety disorders depend to a large extend on patient reports of somatic symptomatology. However, the correspondence between such reports and actual physiological data Is unknown as the physiological measures used were taken in laboratory. The purpose of the ambulatory momboring device is, therefore, to present for analysis physiological data derived from the sub jects during their daily activities. The physiological parameters of interest are heart rate, respiratory rate, skin conductance level/response, skin temperature, and activity level. This device had an microcomputer based data acquisition unit, Interfaced to it for the purpose of data collection. The data is collected usually over a period of 12 hours. The data from the ambulatory monitoring device can be used to assess the psychophysiology of anxiety in the field. The data from the device will also reveal if patients who report different sets of symptoms differ physiologically too. Thls will help physicians for the right kind of treatment and also solve the many uncertainties that have existed thus far in quantizing anxiety.

Crouzon syndrome Is one of the craniofacial syndromes characterized by craniosynostosis, midfacial hypolpasia and ocular proptosis. Distraction osteogenesis is becoming Important technique to treat craniofacial dyplaisa. It has nuy advantages compared with standard orthognathic surgery. Maxillary distraction osteogenesis after Le Fort III osteotomy with the RED system presents successful maxillary protraction to Crouzon syndrome patient with severe maxillary deficiency. It also allows remarkable improvement of facial esthetics and respiratory functions.

The role of botulinum toxin as a therapeutic agent is expanding rapidly in otolaryngology. Botulinum toxin is a protease that blocks the release of acetylcholine from nerve terminals. Its effects are transient and nondestructive, and largely limited to the area in which it is administered These effects are also graded according to the dose, allowing for individualized treatment of patients and disorders. Botulinum toxin has been used primarily to treat disorders of excessive or inappropriate muscle contraction. In the field of otolaryngology, these include spasmodic dysphonia, oromandibular dystonia, and blepharospasm, vocal tics and stuttering, cricopharyngeal achalasia, various tremors and tics, hemifacial spasm, temporomandibular joint disorders and a number of cosmetic applications. Botulinum toxin treatment has recently begun to show some benefit in the control of pain from migraine and tension headache. It may also prove useful in the control of autonomic dysfunction, as in Frey syndrome, sialorrhea, and rhinorrhea. In over 20 yews of use in humans, botulinum toxin has accumulated a considerable safety record, and in many cases represents relief for thousands of patients unaided by other therapy.
