Hereditary ovarian cancer accounts for about 5% to 10% of the total ovarian cancer bnurden, The discase has been observed in context with three types of hereditary ovarian cancer prone syndrome : (1) site-specific ovarian cancer, (2) hereditary breast/ivarian cancer syndrome, (3) hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer(Lynch syndrome II). Each of these syndmmcs is chracterized by autosomal dominant transmission of cancer, sigrdficant early age of onset, and exeess of multiple Iprimary cancers. Auuthor expxeriencecl six families with hereditaty ovarian cancer, two families with a site-spxific. ovarian cancer and four with a breast/ovarian cancer syndrome, and report these families.

BACKGROUND: Many pigmentary disorders can be manifested as linear streaks of hyperpigmentation, along the Blaschko's line. These include progressive cribriform and zosteriform hyperpigmentation (PCZH) and linear and whorled nevoid hyperpigmentation (LWNH). There have been debates on the universally accepted diagnostic criteria differentiating these disease entities. OBJECTIVE: To determine the clinicopathologic characteristics of hyperpigmentation along the line of Blaschko and to examine the acceptability of PCZH or LWNH criteria as a diagnostic tool for differentiating these diseases. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on 13 patients who presented with linear hyperpigmentation along the Blaschko's line. The patients' clinicopathologic characteristics were analyzed and matched with the PCZH/LWNH diagnostic criteria. RESULTS: Age of onset widely ranged from birth to 61 years, but predominantly before the age of 4 years. The male-female ratio was 1:1.2. Trunk was the most common site of involvement. Histologic examination commonly showed a basal layer hyperpigmentation in all patients and pigmentary incontinence was observed in 2 patients. Four patients who satisfied all the diagnostic criteria for PCZH also fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for LWNH, except for the timing of onset. An additional 4 patients satisfied all the diagnostic criteria for LWNH and also fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for PCZH, except for the timing of onset. Excluding the age of onset criteria, the other 3 patients fulfilled both diagnostic criteria for PCZH and LWNH. CONCLUSION: These results demonstrate that PCZH and LWNH should not be considered as a different disease entity and that supports the idea that these are part of the same disease spectrum.

OBJECTIVES: This study is to explore the frequency of basic symptoms and their relationship with current clinical variables in patients with schizophrenia. METHODS: Eighty-eight schizophrenic patients diagnosed with SCID were interviewed with the Bonn Scale for the Assessment of Basic Symptom (BSABS) and Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). RESULTS: Most frequent basic symptoms were related to abnormalities in perception, cognition and stress reactivity. After controlling age effect, number of admission was correlated negatively with cluster 3 (impaired tolerance to normal stress). Onset age was correlated positively with cluster 3 and cluster 4 (disorders of emotion and affect) and total score. Scores of cluster 1 (thought, language, perception, motor disturbances), and cluster 2 (impaired bodily sensations), and total score of BSABS were significantly lower in paranoid type than residual type of schizophrenia. Scores of cluster 1, cluster 2, and total score of BSABS were correlated positively with subscales for positive and negative symptoms and general psychopathology and total score of PANSS. Cluster 3 was correlated positively only with general psychopathology score and cluster 4 with both positive symptoms and general psychopathology score. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that certain basic symptoms aggregate significantly in schizophrenia, especially in paranoid type schizophrenia and that systemic evaluation of basic symptoms can be used for the prediction of onset and progress of schizophrenia.
