1.The intrahepatic biliary Cyst in Biliary Atresia after Kasai Operation.
Journal of the Korean Association of Pediatric Surgeons 1999;5(2):126-129
A 6(1/2)-year-old girl developed recurrent cholangitis following hepatic portoenterostomy for biliary atresia. Computed tomogram showed an ovoid cyst (4.5 x 4.0 cm in size) in the left hepatic lobe and another tubular dilatation (2.0 x 0.8 cm in size) in the right hepatic lobe. Percutaneous transhepatic cholangio-drainage (PTCD) with cystogram showed an ovoid cyst in the left hepatic lobe (Tsuchida type A), measuring 6.6 x 5.0 cmin size. She became afebrile and anicteric with aid of PTCD and parenteral antibiotics. However she continued to drain 45-150 cc of bile per day via the tube for over 2 weeks. Then she successfully underwent intrahepatic cystojejunostomy with guidance of intraoperative ultrasonography. This case illustrates relapsing cholangitis caused by Tsuchida type A intrahepatic cyst, which was successfully managed with PTCD followed by internal drainage procedure.

4.Recent 9-year Experience for Biliary Atresia with Introduction of a New Ultrasonographic Diagnosis.
Journal of the Korean Association of Pediatric Surgeons 2000;6(1):19-26
This paper includes our 9-year experience of 34 infants with biliary atresia with introduction of a new non-invasive diagnostic method, that is, ultrasonographic "triangular cord" (TC) sign. TC sign was defined as visualization of a triangular or a band-like echogenicity just cranial to the portal vein. Ultrasonographic TC sign seemed to be a simple, non-invasive, time-saving and useful tool in the diagnosis of biliary atresia, representing 84% sensitivity. Active bile excretion was restored in 90% of the patients who were treated between 31-60days, 78% of those between 61-90 days, and 33% of those being 91days or older. The incidence of postoperative cholangitis was 36%, and construction of antireflux valve in the Roux-en -Y loop did not affect the incidence of postoperative cholangitis (P=0.18). As for the surgical outcome, of 34 infants with biliary atresia, 23 (68%) are alive for 2-102 months period, and 12 of them are alive for more than 5 years . Five-year estimate survival by Kaplan-Meier method was 66 %.

Morphological characteristics of human embryos of Carnegie stage 17 were described. The crown rump length of these embryos were 11.7-13.6mm. These embryos were characterized externally by ventrally directed nasal pits, 6 distinct auricular hillocks, finger rays in the hand plate, digital plate at the lower limb bud, herniation of a part of midgut through umbilical cord, and internally by the partial fusion of ventral and dorsal pancreas, prominent nasal sac which is not open to primitive oral cavity, formation of segmental and some subsegmental bronchial buds, branching of metanephrotic pelvis, crescent-shaped lens cavity, and imminent semicircular ducts.

OBJECTIVE: The effects on spermatogenesis by expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) were investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Testicular specimens were obtained from 40 infertile males due to primary testicular failure and from 10 fertile males with other urologic problems. The specimens of infertile males were devided into 4 groups according to histologic findings; Sertoli cell only syndrome (A), maturation arrest (B), hypospermatogenesis (C) and sloughing and disorganization (D). VEGF and ET-1 expression were detected with immunohistochemical stain. RESULTS: VEGF expression on Leydig cell was detected in all cases. But, VEGF expression rates on germ cell were significantly higher in infertile group B, C, D compared to that of the control group (p<0.05). ET-1 expression rates on Leydig cell was significantly lower in all infertile group compared to that of the control group (p<0.05). But, ET-1 expression rates on Sertoli cell was significantly higher in all infertile group compared to that of the control group (p>0.05). In germ cell of infertile group, LH, FSH and prolactin were significantly decreased, and estradiol is increased in positive stain group on ET-1 immunohistochemical stain (p<0.05). VEGF and ET-1 expression were not correlated mean seminiferous tubule diameter (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Abnormal spermatogenesis would be reflected in VEGF expression in germ cell.

We report herein a case of bullous pemphigoid(BP) associated with Graves' disease(GD) The patient was 43-year-old female who had suffered frorn GD for 8 years. She had annular, erythematous atrophic plaques with a margin of small vesicles on the frontal and temporal areas, Histopathologic findings of the skin lesion showed subepiderrnal bulla, and numerous eosinophilic infiltrate in the bulla cavity and dermis. Direct immunofluorescent study of perilesional skin revealed linear IgG deposition at the dermo epidermal junction. We think our case shows a higher than chance association of BP and GD because both are basecl on autoimmune mechanism.
