This study was intended to investigate the pre-and postoperative profile of seizures in the patients with cerebral arteriovenous malformatins(AVM's), and to evaluate various preoperative factors to predict the postoperative occurrence of seizures. The patients consisted of 46 consecutive cases with supratentorial AVM's operated on from May 1987 to May 1993. Their mean follow-up duration was 40 months. The pre- and postoperative seizure profiles were similar to each other. The overall incidence of patients experiencing seizure were 50% preoperatively and 52% postoperatively, and the incidence of intractable seizure was 15%, which was the same in both the pre-and postoperatively period. The presence of preoperative seizure and large size of AVM were significant indicators of high incidence of postoperative seizures(P<0.05), while other factors such as preoperative intracerebral hemorrhage or embolization showed no significant influence on the occurrence of postoperative seizures. About 70% of the patients with preoperative seizures also had postoperative seizures, while those without preoperative seizures developed new ones only in 35% of the cases postoperatively. The mean size of the AVM's in the group, with postoperative seizures was larger than that of the group without postoperative seizures(4.56 vs. 3.02 cm). Regarding postoperative intractable seizures, 57% of the group with preoperative intractable seizures remained intractable postoperatively and groups with preoperatively controlled and groups without seizures demonstrated postoperative intractablity only in 13% and 4% respectively. In conclusion, surgery of AVM's did not change the overall incidence of seizures, both controlled and intractable, and patients with preoperative and large sized AVM's and significantly higher possibility of postoperative seizures. Patients with preoperative intractable seizures resulted in control of seizures in 43% after removal of AVM, while 57% remained intractable. Extirpation of epileptic focl, after localization with preoperative study, seems to be needed to improve the outcome of the postoperative seizures.

We have studied the effects on wound healing of moist conditions in rabbit, achieved by covering excised wounds with the polyurethane film dressings, and dry conditions, by exposure to air during the period from day 1 to day 21 after injury. We have quantified the rate of dermal repair by means of differenetial cell counts of neutrophils, macrophages, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells. The rate of re-epithelialization was also examined. The resuts were as follows: 1. There was an acceleration of the inflammatory phase of repair in the moist wounds. The late phase of inflammation began more rapidly. On day 3 after injury there were 150% more macrophages (p<0.01) and 70% fewer neutrophils (p<0.01) in moist wounds. It was also observed the presence of significantly more fibroblasts (p<0.01) in the moist wounds than the dry wounds. 2. There was also more rapid increase in the number of proliferative phase cells-fibroblasts (p<0.01) and endothelial cells (p<0.01) in moist wounds. the lower content of neutrophils (p<0.05) and the higher number of fibroblasts (p<0.01) which were observed in moist wounds on day 7 after injury suggested that healing was by then well advanced into the proliferative phase. 3. On day 14 after injury, the decrease in the number of fibroblasts in moist wounds suggested that this group entered the remodeling phase of repainr. The lower total cell count in moist wounds than in dry on day 21 after injruy suggested a more rapid progress through the remodeling phase. 4. The reepithelialization of moist wounds was faster than that of dry wounds. These findings suggested that moist wounds occluded with polyurethane film dressing healed more rapidly and in a more orderly manner than did dry wounds, both epidermal and dermal repair being accelerated.

PURPOSE: LASIK, one of the currently popular ophthalmic procedures, can sometimes result in dry eye symptoms. In the patient who had underwent LASIK operation, the periorbital surgery may be more likely to lead to such a complication as dry eye symptom. We would like to report a case of corneal abrasion occurred after transconjunctival blepharoplasty in post-LASIK state and suggest the method about preventing the complication. METHODS: A 30-year-old female patient underwent transconjunctival blepharoplasty and microfat graft into the face. She had history of LASIK operation 2 years ago. Corneal protector was applied to both eye during transconjunctival operation. After the surgery, she complained of visual blurring at left side. Ophthalmic examination revealed corneal abrasion of left eye. RESULTS: Cornea protecting lens was applied to left eye for 2 weeks. Steroid and antibiotic eye drops were applied for relieving the symptoms and the prevention from progressing of complication. After 1 week, visual power and acuity was recovered to preoperative state. No other specific complications happened. CONCLUSION: Post-LASIK patient may have possibility of decreased corneal sensation and tear production. Preoperative ophthalmic examination is recommended for the prevention of complication. When corneal protector is applied, we suggest Optagel(R) as a useful lubricant.

Multiple endocrine neoplasi~a type 3 is a rare, heritable or sporadic, multiple neoplastic disorder that is charracterized by thyroid medullary careinoma, pheochromocytoma, multiple mucosal neuroma, and marfanoid habitus. The most important disorder of the syndrome is mucosal neuroma that is an early diagnostic sign of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 3. Early diagnosis of MEN type 3 determines prognosis of the disease. We present a case of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 3 of the sporadic pattern in a 27-year-old man who had typical medullary thyroid carcinoma, mucosal neuroma, marfanoid habitus, and megacolon.
