Hemangioams are usually present at birth of appeat shortly thercafter, as red or purple patches varying in size and most often in the skin. Hemangiomas include the cervix in their ubiquitous distribution; the cervix itself is very vascular and many reported hemangiomas are nothing more than a conspicuous demonstration of local casculatity. The cervical hemangioma is a rare condition which usually presents as vaginal bleeding of unusual cause, Many of the capillary hemangiomas and some of the cavermous types frequently resolve spontaneously. However, some hemagiomas ulcerate and a severe hemorrhage results. We recently encountered a case of cervical hemangioma involving the vagina in a 56-year-old woman. This case os especially interesting in that the histologic type was a cavernous hemangioma with uncommon cariety n the uterine cervix.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the oral health care conditions of patients who have Leprous disease, which is an infectious disease fixed for the third-class by law, to understand oral health care methods and effects of infectious disease patient, and to analyse those methods and effects in order to apply them to the national oral health occupation baseline data for utilizing continuous oral health occupation and to the treatment for handicapped person. he objects for this study were 7,491 patients(male:4,511, female:2,980) treated in the oral health center among Leprous disease patients, residents in the Sorokdo from 1995, May 1st to 1999, April 30th. We divided them into the first, second, third preventive care group according to the year by preventive classification of oral disease, analysed oral health statistics, classification according to the sex, age, practice, and each consultation hours. The subdivided results carrying out continuous oral health care system for four years were as follows: 1. The distribution for the age indicated that the number of 70-79 year-old patients group was the most, 2,169 and that of 60-69 year-old patients group was the second, 2,406. 2. All the number of consultation hours was 13,454. The consultation hours of first preventive care group were 1,359, 10.1% of them (male:812 female:547), the second group 3,942, 29.3%(male:2,103 female:1,839), the third 8,153, 60.6%(male:5,524 female:2,629) 3. The results of oral health care conditions indicated that DMF rate was 99.2% of them, DMFT rate 59.2%, DMF index 18.9, DT rate 2.6%, FT rate 7.4%, MT rate 49.1%, CPITN0 5%, CPITN10%, CPITN2 24%, CPITN3 71%. 4. It was analysed that the number of patients treated with continuous bridgework was 60 and that the number of patients wearing complete denture and partial denture was 290.

Carp which receive intraperitoneal injections of sodium alginate show a high survival rate after being challenged with Edwardsiella tarda. To elucidate the immunoenhancement by sodium alginate, its effects on the non-specific defense system of carp were investigated. Sodium alginate had little influence either on the activity of the alternative complement pathway or on the phagocytic and respiratory burst activities of head kidney phagocytes (HKP), yet it greatly enhanced the migration of HKP to the peritoneal cavity (the site of injection) and concurrently elevated their phagocytic activity. The number of phagocytes mobilized by sodium alginate was 2 to 50 times greater than that by the well-known peritoneal exudate cell-eliciting agents when injected at the same dose. Accordingly, it is highly probable that the early elimination of challenge bacteria by such mobilized and activated phagocytes was responsible for the high survival rate of the alginateinjected fish. In chemotaxis assays, it was revealed that sodium alginate stimulated sorne leukocyte subpopulation (s) within the peritoneal cavity to produce and/or secrete chemotactic factor (s), while concurrently enhancing the sensitivity of HKP to the factor (s).

Recently, the possibility of inappropriate management of undiagnosed early cancers increased with spreading laparoscopic approach of adnexal tumors. The pathologic diagnosis of frozen section biopsy(FBx) guide the surgeon to perform the appropriate surgical procedure of adnexal tumors. This study was conducted to verify preliminarily the criteria for the laparoscopic management and determine the accuracy and efficacy of conditioned FBx according to the criteria. The inclusive criteria of FBx results in this study was designed by means of the preoperative transvaginal sonography(morphologic score >or=10) or tumor marker level of serum(CA-125 level>or=35 U/ml in postmenopause and >or=65 U/ml in postmenopause) or suspected gross findings of the malignancy during operation. On the other hand, cases which were convinced as dermoid cysts, endometriomas and advanced(>or=IIIb) ovarian cancers on the basis of gross findings were excluded in this study. Two hundred seventy-six operations of adnexal tumors were performed between January 1995 and June 1996 and 74 results of FBx were picked up in this study. The overall rate of conditioned FBx was 26.8%(74/276). The applied criterion in this study had the sensitivity of 0.97, specificity of 0.78, negative predictive value of 0.99, positive predictive value of 0.36. The accuracy of frozen sectional biopsy were 87.8% in the histopathologic diagnosis and 97.3% in the clinicopathologic diagnosis. The sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value and positive predictive value for ovarian cancers(borderline+malignant) were 1 in all. It was thought that frozen sectional biopsy was a appropriate guide for the decision of methods during operation of adnexal tumors and that the criteria in this study could be used as a guideline for frozen section biopsy in the laparoscopic surgery of adnexal tumors.
