The upper gastrointestinal bleeding is to be controlled and prevented for recurrent bleeding with several endoscopic methods. The sapphire contact probe in Nd: YAG laser photocoagulation was compared to conventional non-contact probe in hemostatic efficacy. (continue...)

Angiographic findings were analysed in 11 cases of Behcet'sdisease which was diagnosed clinically in Seoul national University Hospital from July 1982 to June 1983. Arterial involvement was noted in 5 cases and venous involvement in 6 cases respectively. Arterial aneurysm and occlusion were arteriographic findings. Arterial aneurysm was noted at large arteries in all 5 cases and multifocal involvement was noted in 4 cases. Characteristic finding of arterial involvement was protruding saccular aneurysm. Venous involvement was thrombotic occlusion of deep veins in iliac, femoral and tibial areas in all 6 cases. Behcet's disease should be differentiated whenever these arterial or venous angiographic findings are revealed in a young adult.

A rostro-caudal topography of the oculomotor nerve fascicles is relatively well known in animal but not in human. We experienced two cases of midbrain infarctions presenting with isolated oculomotor nerve palsies. The MRI of the patient who had monocular elevation palsy with ptosis revealed a lesion in the middle to lower midbrain, whereas that of the other who had monocular depression and adduction palsy with pupillary mydriasis showed a discrete lesion in the upper to middle midbrain. We present the rostro-caudal arrangement of the oculomotor fascicles within midbrain based on MRI findings.

The search for a new flap with minimal donor morbidity has been pursued by many plastic surgeons. Numerous donor sites available for microsurgical composite tissue transplantation have been described owing to the tremendous advances made in the field of microsurgery. To be suifable for use as a free flap, a sizable vessel must be included within the tissue, leading to significant donor morbidity. There have been studies for prefabrication of an axial pattern flap in an effort to create a new flap, but most of these methods relied solely on revascularization of a preexisting composite tissue. Our experiment, using an isolated femoral artery and vein as the main pedicle, led to formation of a capsule flap through a normal foreign body reaction between 2 silastic sheet implants. On this induced capsule flap, a skin graft was performed and a total of 40 axial pattern capsulo-cutaneous flaps from 20 Sprague-Dawley rats were successfully obtained after nearly 12 weeks through 4 stages of experiment, including a delay procedure at the second stage. Pathology revealed neovascularization, and abundantly impregnated vascular structures near the pedicle were observed along with random pattern collagen fibers. The skin graft took 100% on this newlyformed axial pattern capsular flap and thus implied that the capsule structure was able to survive on it`s own and was able to support skin grafts. This new flap using only the isolated artery and vein structure can be induced according to various needs with minimal donor morbidity.

The Duodenal diverticulum is the rare cause of the common bile duct obstruction. We experienced a case of the diverticulum of the second portion of duodenum in a 59-year-old male, who complained recurrent attacks of right upper abdominal pain and fever since 16 months prior to admission. Duodenoscopic finding and UGI study revealed a typical duodenal diverticulum just side to the papilla of Vater. Diverticulectomy and cholecystectomy was performed and after than, he has been free front above mentioned symptoms. We reported a case of duodenal diverticulum which caused recurrent common bile duct obstruction.
