    Abstract Background: Car drivers are generally exposed to direct sunlight during commuting hours, which may lead to irreversible skin damage; however, topographical analysis for different facial areas has not been reported.
    Methods: Facial areas were divided topographically into 11 areas based on esthetic units. We performed a preliminary study to identify the delivery pattern of solar energy on the face in the car during commuting time; subsequently, 15 drivers aged above 50 years were enrolled. Statistical evaluation was performed to investigate topographical differences between the left and right sides of the face and between sexes.
    Results: The left side of the face was different from the right side for L*, a*, and b* on the infraorbital area and L* and b* on the temporal area. Differences were found for L*, a*, or b* between sexes on the central and right face, but not on the left. The left side had more severe hyperpigmentation and wrinkles than the right on average.
    Conclusion: The left facial area, especially the infraorbital and temporal areas, of Korean automobile commuters was vulnerable to sun damage. Therefore, automobile drivers should care about these areas while driving to prevent long-term effect from chronic solar damage.

    Abstract Background: Keloids develop due to the overgrowth of fibrous tissue. Currently, there is no gold standard treatment for keloids and hypertrophic scars (HTS). Their propensity for local invasion and recurrence has prompted many investigations on antineoplastic agents.
    Objectives: To investigate the efficacy of topical and intralesional mitomycin C for the treatment of keloids and HTS.
    Methods: Nine patients with clinically diagnosed keloids and HTS were treated using topical mitomycin C (1 mg/mL) for 3 min after shaving excision. The Vancouver Scars Scale, patient satisfaction, and adverse effects were checked after 6 months. The keloids and HTS were photographed at each monthly visit. Intralesional mitomycin C (1 mg/mL) was administered to study the effect on the regression of keloids in 2 patients.
    Results: Application of mitomycin C to the base of shave-removed keloids and HTS showed good results. Six out of 9 patients were very satisfied with the outcome of treatment; none were disappointed. The results of intralesional mitomycin C treatment were disappointing. Both cases worsened, with increased ulceration after treatment.
    Conclusions: Topical application of mitomycin C following shaving excision was safe and effective for the treatment of keloids and HTS. However, intralesional mitomycin C therapy aggravated both lesions.

    Abstract This paper reports synthesis and characterization of self-assembled ZnO hexagonal nano-disks grown by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering. X-ray diffraction data and scanning electron microscopy data show that ZnO hexagonal nano-disks are nucleated on top of the flat surfaces as the film thickness reaches 1.56μm and then the number of nano-disks increases with the film thickness. The lateral size of hexagonal nano-disks is ∼720nm and height is ∼74nm. Strong photoluminescence spectra are also obtained, that is attributed to surface exciton emission at 3.3628eV from the surface states of hexagonal nano-disks.

    Abstract The effect of sputtering pressure on the growth behavior of heteroepitaxial ZnO films grown by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering on SrTiO₃ (STO) (001) substrates was investigated. Columnar growth of ZnO films at a growth pressure of 3×10⁻²Torr was observed, while typical planar growth was dominant at lower growth pressures. This can be explained by the complicated interplay between the surface diffusivity of ZnO films and their growth rates. We also found that wurtzite hexagonal ZnO films with a preferred (0002) orientation could be grown epitaxially on the perovskite cubic STO (001) substrates in the substrate normal direction. Azimuthal angle scans of off-specular ZnO (101¯1) Bragg peaks revealed that the domains of ZnO films tilted by ±15° with respect to the STO [100] direction in the in-plane direction. The epitaxial relationship was confirmed as being ZnO[101¯0]//STO [110] and ZnO [101¯0]//STO [1¯10].

    Abstract Background and purpose: Globus sensation is common and difficult to treat. The purpose of our study was to compare the diagnostic and therapeutic efficacy of barium esophagram and neck CT in patients with isolated globus sensation, to determine which of these modalities should be preferred in the evaluation of this condition.
    Materials and methods: We retrospectively identified patients presenting with isolated globus sensation from January 1, 2005, to December 31, 2012, who underwent neck CT or barium esophagram. We calculated the proportion of patients with abnormal findings, tabulated the nature of the abnormality, and reviewed the medical records to determine whether imaging changed management.
    Results: One hundred forty-eight neck CTs and 104 barium esophagrams were included. Five (3.4%) patients with neck CTs and 4 (3.9%) with barium esophagrams demonstrated significant findings related to the history of globus sensation. Of these, 1 (0.7%) neck CT and 1 (1.0%) barium esophagram resulted in a change in clinical management.
    Conclusions: Imaging evaluation of the patient with uncomplicated globus sensation is unlikely to identify clinically significant imaging findings and is very unlikely to result in a change in clinical management, with a combined therapeutic efficacy of 0.8%. Thus, the routine use of imaging in the evaluation of patients with globus sensation cannot be recommended.

    Abstract Introduction: Non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSCs) are the most common cancers in the world, but the risk of internal malignancy in patients with NMSC has not been well investigated.
    Objectives: We aimed to assess the risk of internal malignancy in patients with NMSC compared with controls without NMSC in Korean population.
    Methods: This nationwide cohort study, compared 27 259 NMSC patients with 54 518 matched controls without NMSC, 40 years or older using the data from Korea Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service from 2007 to 2016. The first 2 years were washout period, and we followed the patients for 8 years to observe the development of any internal malignancies after a diagnosis of NMSC. The Cox proportional hazard model was used to determine the hazard ratios (HRs) for developing internal malignancies.
    Results: The overall risk of internal malignancies at all sites was 2727.7 and 1392.4 per 100 000 person-years for the patients with NMSC and controls, respectively. The risk was significantly higher in the patients with NMSC (HR 1.866, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.768-1.970). Bone cancer showed the highest risk (HR 12.745, 95% CI 6.288-25.834), followed by nasal cavity and larynx (HR 10.279, 95% CI 6.178-7.103), oral cavity and pharynx (HR 10.211, 95% CI 7.375-14.137), anus and anal canal (HR 8.147, 95% CI 3.893-17.051) and cervical (HR 5.900, 95% CI 3.694-9.423) cancers with risks greater than fivefold higher in NMSC patients compared with the controls. The risks of cancers of the thorax, oesophagus, breast, lung, stomach, thyroid gland and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were also statistically higher in the patients with NMSC. In contrast, the risks of cancers of the colon and rectum were found to be significantly decreased in the patients with NMSC (HR 0.765, 95% CI 0.657-0.890).
    Conclusion: Patients with NMSC require careful screening and follow-up for internal malignancy.

    Abstract Background: A light-coloured iris is considered a risk factor for skin cancer in general. However, iris colour cannot be considered a plausible risk factor for skin cancer in East Asian populations because of the relative homogeneity of iris colours. Furthermore, subjective classifications of iris colour cannot distinguish between different East Asian individuals as to their likelihood of developing cancer.
    Aim: To measure human iris colours quantitatively and to assess the significances of iris colours with respect to skin cancer in Korean patients.
    Methods: Reference Commission Internationale d'Eclairage (CIE) L*a*b* coordinates on a ColorCheck chart were recorded using a reflectance spectrophotometer and compared with computed CIE L*a*b* coordinates from digital images to determine equations to calibrate CIE L*a*b* values. We then took iris images and measured iris colours and the colours of sun-exposed and sun-protected skin in 42 Korean patients with various cutaneous malignancies and nonmalignant dermatological diseases. Results were statistically analysed with regard to iris and skin colours in CIE L*a*b* coordinates.
    Results: Patients with skin cancer had significantly lighter irises or higher L* values than dermatological patients without a malignancy (P = 0.02). Colour differences (ΔE*ab) between sun-exposed skin and sun-protected skin were greater in men (P < 0.01) and in patients with skin cancer (P < 0.01), and the lightness (L*) values of sun-exposed skins decreased with age (r = -0.32, P < 0.05).
    Conclusions: Iris colour appears to be a possible skin cancer risk factor in East Asian populations. The larger colour differences seen between sun-protected and sun-exposed skin in men and in patients with skin cancer may have been due to chronic or excessive sun exposure.
