90 cases of pregnancy termination by vaccum at the 6th –12th week of gestation, using misoprostol vaginal insertion with cervix prepared 3 hours before this operation were performed at the Central Hospital of Gynecology and Obstetrics from December 2003 to February 2004. The subjects had received intravaginal 400mg Misoprostol 3h befor the vacuum aspiration of the fetus. Results showed the success rate of 96.67%, the mean dilatation of cervix reached 8.1  0.92mm.

The ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is one of the notorious complications of assisted reproduction procedure. Severe and moderate OHSS associated with a spontaneous pregnancy is rare. We experienced a case of two normal, spontaneously conceived pregnancies with OHSS and her past obstetric history included prior spontaneous OHSS in the first trimester and term vaginal delivery of normal baby.

Uterine cervical prolapse concurrent with pregnancy is a rare situation. Large variety of management options for pregnancy, labor, and delivery to this situation had been reported. We have experienced one case of third-degree cervical prolapse combined with pregnancy. This woman visited our hospital in the late first trimester. We had managed the patient successfully with a vaginal pessary to maintain cervical placement. hereby, We report this case with a brief review.

This study was carried out to provide the basic data for the choice of evaluation method in the evaluation of academic record in medical college. For this, one university academic records were analyzed in which the method of evaluation was changed from the norm-referenced evaluation to the criterion-referenced evaluation since the first trimester in 1989 and the results of two methods were compared with. The results were as follows ; in the major of medicine, there is no difference in the academic record of the most subjects according to the evaluation methods, but in a few subjects, the record was underestimated in the criterion-referenced evaluation. In the major of nursing, all subjects of both major and essential subjects were overestimated strikingly in the criterion-referenced evaluation. In the other majors, the subjects for general education were also overestimated markedly in the criterion-referenced evaluation and the proportion to the grade of record were very different by the professors.

The study performed a systematic review of screening for preeclampsia with the combination of vascular parameters and maternal serum markers in the first and early second trimester. We identified eligible studies through a search of Medline, and, for each included study, we focused on the relationship between the maternal serum markers and preeclampsia. In the selected literature, a combination of maternal serum markers was analyzed, also. Several tests suggested moderate or convincing prediction of early preeclampsia, but screening for late preeclampsia was poor. Literatures for serum markers were selected. Each serum marker was identified independently, and where relevant, a combination of these markers was analyzed. Encouraging results for the first trimester screening were observed when it was combined with other markers. Even in the first trimester of pregnancy, we can present the reliable results for the prediction of early preeclampsia. Detection rate for combination markers may yield higher detection rate and be promising to identify patients at high risk of developing preeclampsia.
