Dysplastic nodule (DN), which is nodular hepatocellular proliferation of at least 1mm in diameter, is detected most often through radiological and pathological observations in chronic advanced liver diseases. DNs characteristically contain portal tracts and they can be classified into low grade for mild atypia and high grade for at least moderate atypia that is insufficient for the diagnosis of malignancy. DNs are supplied portal venous blood and arterial blood supply. In unpaired arteries, new angiogenesis, shows stepwise increases in the following order of DN low grade, DN high grade, early hepatocellular carcinoma and hepatocellular carcinoma. There are convincing clinicopathological data to support the premise that DNs are considered to be precancerous lesions and early stages of multistep processes of hepatocellular carcinogenesis. Extensive clinicopathological and molecular study can provide a better understanding of the characteristics of DNs and new therapeutic approaches to DNs.

Autoradiographic study was performed in order to know the distribution of exogenous C(14)-glucose by lung fluke, Paragonimus westermani, incubated in Tyrode medium containing 10 uCi/ml of labeled substance. After 1 hour incubation at 37C, microautoradiographs of this fluke showed that black grains derived from radioactive carbon were accumulated mainly in the parenchyme and subcuticular musculature. The muscular tissues such as oral sucker, pharynx and ventral sucker revaled considerable density of fine grains. Slight radioactivity was also observed in the regions of ovary, testes, vitelline follicles, eggs in uterus, intestinal ceca, and even in excretory bladder. Structures showing the least activity included the cuticle and uterine tubules of this fluke.

In oder to determine values for the body weight by height groups for Korean adults men who are fully grown up 4028(30-39 age-group:2318, 40-49 age-group: 1340, and 50-59 age-group:370) apparently healthy males subjects were randomly selected for the measurement of body weight by height groups. 1) The average body height and weight of Korean adult men were 168.3+/-4.6cm and 63.4+/-7.1kg in 30-39 age group, 167.7+/-4.7cm and 63.4+/-7.4kg in 40-49 age group, and 167.3+/-5.2cm and 63.3+/-8.0kg in 50-59 age group. 2) A correlation coefficient of r=+0.52(P<0.001) between body height and weight was found in 30-39 ate group of 2318 subject, r=+0.48(P<0.001) in 40-49 of 1340 and r=+0.53(P<0.001) in 50-59 of 370 with the aid of there coefficients of linear regression body weight and height were established for male as follow; for 30-39 age group, Y(weight in kg)=0.81X(height in cm)-73.02, 40-49 age group, Y(weight in kg)=0.74X(height in cm)-61.82, 50-59 age group, Y(weight in kg)=0.82X(height in cm)-73.83. 3) With the aid of above listed various equation standard values for body weight by height group, with over weighing and under weighing values were established. 4) Standard bodyweight of Korean was lower than those of American, Japanese and several other formulas for ideal body weight.

1. In total 33 cases of cataract, measurements of the corneal curvature(radius) were performed preoperatively and postoperatively. 2. Among 6 cases of below 40 year old, extracapsular cataract extraction were 5 cases. While 23 cases were done in intracapsular extraction among 27 cases of more than 40 year. 3. At two month after the operation, vertical and horizontal curvatures are closer to that of preoperative condition than in 1 month after the operation. 4. 2 month after the operation, vertical curvatures are getting flat in 66 %, while more cases showed tight horizontal curvatures than flat one.
