The apoptosis, a distinctive type of individual cell necrosis, has been considered to play a complementary but opposite role to mitosis in the regulation of animal cell populations. It can be initiated or inhibited by a variety of environmental stimuli, physiologically and pathologically. Apoptosis seems to appear in either non-neoplastic or neoplastic tissues, even malignant tumors in the state of untreatment or irradiation. This study was carried out to investigate the spontaneous occurrence of apoptosis in squamous carcinomas of the uterine cervix and its mechanisms. Light microscopically, noted were the condensation and fragmentation of individual tumor cells with formation of apoptotic bodies that were frequently phagocytosed by nearby intact tumor cells. They were commonly seen in the neighbourhood of coagulative necrosis. Electron microscopically (TEM and SEM), noted were nuclear condensation, margination toward the nuclear membrane and fragmentation of membrane-bounded apoptotic bodies that were well preserved. The intracellular apoptotic bodies were phagosomes and reduced to electron-dense lysosomal residual bodies. The conclusion obtained was as follow: Apoptosis was found in all cases of squamous carcinoma of the uterine cervix, of which the frequency was higher in tumors of poor differentiation than those of well to moderate differentiation. The process of the apoptosis is considered to pass through the step of formation of the apoptotic bodies, phagocytosis by adjoining tumor cells or histiocytes, and then degradation as lysosmal residual bodies.

PURPOSE: Paresis of the inferior oblique is the least likely to result in paralysis. We report a patient without a history of trauma successfully treated using contralateral IO recession and SR recession. CASE SUMMARY: A 25-year-old male patient presented to us with an extended history of abnormal head posture, manifested by a marked habitual left head tilt with a face turn to the right. A cover test in the primary position demonstrated 15 prism diopter right hypertropia, which increased to 25 prism diopter right hypertropia in right gaze and 20 prism diopter right hypertropia in right head tilt. The patient was diagnosed with IO palsy, and a right IO recession was performed. RESULTS: Following the IO recession, head tilt was completely resolved and face turn to the right was slightly resolved. Cover test in the primary position demonstrated 12 prism diopter right hypertropia, which increased to 20 prism diopter right hypertropia in right gaze. A head tilt test demonstrated a symmetrical 12 prism diopter right hypertropia. We performed a right SR recession to decrease face turn and hypertropia in the primary position. CONCLUSIONS: We report a patient manifesting abnormal head posture diagnosed with IO palsy, which was successfully treated using contralateral IO recession and SR recession.

From January, 1972 to August 1983, 12 cases of ovarian pregnancy out of 1202 total ectopic pregnancy were studied and the incidence constituted 0.9%. The gross and microscopic findings were reviewed according to gross description and gross photographs, and microscopic description and reviewing all microscopic slides. All cases were shown to meet Spiegelberg's criteria for primary ovarian pregnancy.

In the rare group of atypical adenocarcinomas of the prostate, endometrioid carcinoma is thought to be in unique but controversial position among them. In 1967, Melicow and pachter first reported a prostatic malienancy whose pattern was similar to endometrial adenocarcinoma of the female uterus. Because of the distinctive morphologic appearance and location near the prostatic verumontanum, it was suggested that it might originate from the mtllerian (female) remnant, the prostatic utricle, and consequently display estrogen dependence. But recent immunohistochemical and ultrastructural studies suggests that endometriold carcinoma of prostate is a unusual histologic variant of prostatic duct adenocarcinoma. We experienced a case of endometriold carcinoma of prostate, who was treated by radital surgery and pelvic lymph node dissection with radiation. And this may be the first reported case of its kind in Korea. Till now he is under the follow up for 2 years and 2 months after surgery with no evidence of disease.
