Prognosis and biologic behavior of malignant ovarian tumors have been assessed by clinical staging, morphological grading and many other variables. Recently DNA ploidy measured by flow cytometry has been suggested as an additional important indicator of the tumor behavior and prognosis. The author measured DNA ploidy, S-phase fraction and DNA Index in 36 patients of epithelial ovarian tumors(17 were malignant, and 19 were borderline) by flow cytometric analysis of paraffin embedded tumor blocks. Comparing with FIGO stage, tumor grade, histologic type and others, the author investigated the clinical significance of the results of flow cytometric analysis. The results obtained as follows : (continue)

Lymphomatoid papulosis(LyP) is a chronic recurrent dermatosi characterized by involuting and recurring papules, plaques, and nodules showing histologic feaurs suggesting rnalignant lymphoma. On histologic ground, it is divided into two types. type A and type B. In type A, large atypical lymphocytes are the main cellular cornponent and most of these express CD 30(Ki-1) antigen, which has been p!reviously thought to be specific for Read Sternberg cells of Hodgkins disease. In type B, cerebriform mononuclear lymphocytes sirr la to those in mycosis fungoides predominates. We report two cases of lymphomatoid papulosis, type A and type B, respectively. The large atypical cells in type A LyP expressed Ki 1 antigen. Both case were treated with PUVA and the outcome of the treatment has been fair.

OBJECTIVE: Base on clinical practice, the authors report a case of tardive dyskinesia arising during the course of treatment with resperidal. METHODS: This article was review and analysis of a case on risperidone-induced tardive dyskinea. RESULTS: Mrs K, a 51-year-old women with a 1-year history of schizophrenic disorder, gradually developed tardive dyskinetic movement of the mouth, lip, and tongue over a 4 month period(From July 1996 to June 1997) while taking risperidone. Initially she was treated with haloperidol and alprazolam. However, the haloperidol was subsequently discontinued because of EPS developed. From 11th March 1997, she was observed to have a severe form of tardive dyskinesia involving her tongue, lip, and mouth. After risperidone was withdrawn at 9th May 1997, her tardive dyskinetic movement was disappeared. CONCLUSIONS: This is, to our knowledge, the first report of the onset of tardive dyskinesia in a patient taking risperidone. However, additional controlled studies of specific questions are needed ; e.g., the dose-response curves for produce tardive dyskinesia and the mechanism of producing risperidone-induced tardive dyskinea and so on.

The humerus is anatomically and phyelologically unique, such as, firstly, it is a non weight bearing bone, secondly, it has greatest range of motion, thirdly, when at rest while the person is standing, the axis of bone hangs vertically and is influenced by gravity, and conservative methods usually used in treatment. However, in the event of closed reduction failure, open fracture, multiple fracture, and old age, operative method may be employed. Authors reviewed and analzed 84 humeral shaft fractures which had been treated at the Department Orthopedic Surgery, Paik Hospital from Dec. 1979 to May 1988. The results were as follows : l. Among the 84 patients, male were 63 and female were 21. 2. The major causes of injury were a traffic accident. 3. The most frequent type and site of fracture was comminuted and middle one third. 4. The incident of radial nerve injury was 17 cases. 5. Of 84 cases, 22 cases were treated conservatively and 62 cases operatively. 6. The most common complication was non-union of 14 cases, of which 10 cases were treated with plate and bone graft and 4 cases with only bone graft.

Cerebral venous infarction is associated with a wide variety of clinical symptoms and signs, which may often delay appropriate diagnosis. Unilateral vestibular deficit as a presenting sign of cerebral venous infarction has rarely been reported. We report a patient with cerebral venous infarction who had severe prolonged vertigo, vomiting, occipital headache, positive head thrust testing, and unilateral caloric weakness as main clinical features. Although the patient had occipital headache, overall symptoms and signs closely mimicked those of acute peripheral vestibulopathy.

Vestibular neuritis (VN) is an idiopathic peripheral vestibular syndrome characterized by acute isolated prolonged vertigo. In most cases, it results from inflammation of the vestibular nerve presumably of viral origin. There has been no previous report of VN associated with a vascular cause. We here report a patient with VN of vascular origin who presented with acute onset of prolonged isolated vertigo, a unilateral decreased caloric response, and simultaneously with acute infarcts on brain MRI that were unrelated to patient's vertigo.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Body lateropulsion with falling to one side is a well-known clinical feature of stroke in the posterior circulation. Body lateropulsion as an isolated or predominant manifestation of a pontine stroke has not previously been reported. To elucidate the possible mechanisms of patients presenting with body lateropulsion as an isolated or predominant symptom of isolated pontine infarction. MATERIALS AND METHOD: Between May 2004 and February 2006, out of 134 admitted patients with an isolated pontine stroke we identified 8 consecutive patients (6.0%) in the Keimyung University Stroke Registry who had body lateropulsion as the main presenting symptom. RESULTS: All lesions were localized to the paramedian tegmentum just ventral to the 4th ventricle. All except 1showed a uniform pattern of body lateropulsion, in which the direction of falling was away from the side of infarct. In 2 patients, body lateropulsion was the sole clinical manifestation, whereas the other patients had other neurological signs. All but 1 had contraversive tilting of the subjective visual vertical (SVV). In all cases, the direction of SVV tilt corresponded to the direction of body lateropulsion. The mean net tilt angle was 6.1 CONCLUSION: Based on the known anatomy of ascending vestibular pathways, the SVV tilting, and MRI findings, body lateropulsion probably results from damage to the graviceptive pathway ascending through paramedian pontine tegmentum.
