Ossifying fibroma is one of a group of fibro-osseous lesion which arises typically within the jaw bone and only rarely affects the long bones. In 1966, Kempson described two patients with ossifying fibroma of the tibia, noting its unique, aggressive local behavior. This rare lesion resembles monostotic fibrous dysplasia, but can be differentiated from it on histologic and clinical ground. Histologically, ossifying fibroma is characterized by osteoblasstic rimming spicules of bone within a fibrous stroma with evidence of the lamella transformation of bone, and clinically by, frequent recurrence and aggressive progression of the lesion. We experieced three cases of ossifying fibroma, two cases in the tibia and one case in the fibula. In case 1, recurrence was developed after local curettage and bone graft, so reoperation was performed at 11 months after the first opecation. The 2nd case was healed after wide curettage and free vascularized fibula graft, and the 3rd case being followed up after segmental resection of the fibula.

Ossifying fibroma is not a well recognized entity, and only rarely affects the long bones. The main differential diagnosis is with fibrous dysplasia and with adamantinoma, non-ossifying fibroma of the long bone. Ossifying fibroma seldom has even a moderate tendency to progress during childhood, but it recurs frequently after curettage or subperiosteal resection. Any progression of the lesion comes to an end after puberty. So, surgery should be delayed as long as possible. But, if the lesion is rapidly progressive, or if a patient has repeated fractures, it would be necessary to resort to wide extraperiosteal resection. We have experienced 7 cases of ossifying fibroma from Octover 1979 to November 1988. The results were as follows; 1. The male and female ratio, was 5 to 2 and six patients were at their first decade, and one patient was 13 years old. 2. The lesion site was six cases in the tibia, one case in the fibula. 3. In six patients, we had done wide resection with free-vasculaized fibular graft in five cases and wide resection of the distal one-third of the fibula in one case. Two patients among them had recurrence. One case of recurrence was performed incomplete wide resection with free vascularized fibular graft because the lesion was too close to the distal epiphysis of the tibia.

The quality of periodontal instrument cutting edge is a basic element of effective root planing procedure. Using instruments, the sharp edge is changed into blunt or beveled edge. With the blunt instrument, the periodontal treatment can't be carried into accuracy and effective. The study on the wear of periodontal curet is insufficient, there are few publications about the change of sharpness of cutting egde after using instrument and a certen reports were published on the study of scanning electron microscope(SEM) examination. In this study, to declare the number of strokes for sharpening of instruments, the changes of cutting edge is measured by the clinical methods, tactile sensitivity examination and refraction light-white line test after scaling strokes and root planing strokes. SEM test was added for defined the changes of cutting edges. The 7/8 Gracey curets that have been never used was tested. Maxillary molars which were extracted from the School of Dental Medicine, Dankook University was used. Subjected teeth had attachment loss more than 6 mm in bucco-lingual surface and sufficient calculus of a band type in cervical area. The strokes of curet were executed 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 times on scaling stroke and 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 times on root planing stroke. A resident has periodontal experience over 3 years carried out the clinical examinations those tactile sensitivity examination and refraction light-white line test 5 times. The case there being tactile sensitivity certenly is 2, the case being felt tactile sensitivity is 1, and the case there not being tactile sensitivity is 0. The visual examination was recorded as following. The case that refracted white line is not recognised is 2, the case that uncerten is 1, and the case that acknowledged is 0. The results were obtained as follows. 1. After scaling strokes, the tactile sensitivity was reduced after 11 strokes and disappeared in 13 strokes. 2. In tactile sensitivity after root planing procedures, sensitivity was reduced after 25 strokes and disappeared in 35 strokes. 3. In case of visual examination, the detection of refracted white line was increased after 9 strokes of scaling procedures and the accuracy of wear wasn't showed after root planing procedures. 4. In SEM, metal projection was observed on new periodontal curet cutting edge and it was disappeared after scaling procedures. 5. In SEM, the cutting edge was showed changing linear into an aspect of the surface after 5 strokes of scaling procedures and 10 strokes of root planing procedures and showed beveled edge in 11 strokes of scaling procedures, 25 strokes of root planing procedures. The results of 3-type examination indicated that the sharpening of curet should be performed after 11 strokes of scaling procedures and 25 strokes of root planing procedures.

Endoscopic biliary drainage has been established as the palliative treatment of choice for malignant obstructive jaundice. But the clogging of biliary endoprosthesis has been a persistent problem faced by endoscopists over many years. Different materials, sizes, and designs have been used in efforts to overcome this problem. Recently, there are some reports that incorporating sideholes increases the risk of stent clogging, and prostheses without sideholes had significantly lower clogging compared to those with sideholes. And then Soehendra and his colleagues introduced a new design Teflon straight stent without sideholes, designated "Tan-nenbaum" (TB) stents, and reported that TB stent had significantly longer patency than Teflon pigtail stent with sideholes. When placing the TB stent, we used OASIS (One Action Stent Introduction System). This introducer enables the stent to be pre-loaded onto the distal tip of the guiding catheter and placed endoscopically in one step. By using OASIS, we reduced the duration of placing the stent in narrowed bile duct and the patients were more tolerable. Now, we report our experience of endoscopic retrograde biliary drainage by use of TB stent and OASIS" in 12 patients with obstructive jaundice due to malignancy.

Gallstone pancreatitis is caused by migration of gallstones through the common bile duct and ampulla of Vater, where ohetruction or impaction may occur. Early detection and endoscopic treatment of impacted gallstones are very important for the amelieration of pancreatitis. Pancreatic imagings, such as conventional ultrasonography, computerised tomography(CT) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiypancreatography(ERCP) have beea used for the diagnosis of gallstone pancreatitis. But these imaging net are often unsatisfactory fordetection of the impacted gallstones in the common bile duct ampulla of Vater. Especially ERCP has been contraindicated in acute pancreatitis. Endoscopic ultrasonography(EUS), which was recently developed, has been known as highly accurate diagnostic tool in the diagnosis of biliary and pancreatic disease. The high resolution of EUS is capable of showing unique morphological detail in gallstone pancreatitis. We report 3 cases of gallstone pancreatitis which Was accurately diagnosed by EUS and successfully treated by endoscopic treatment.

Aggressive angiomyxoma is an uncommon soft-tissue neoplasm which affects the pelvis and genital organs of the young female predominantly. This tumor has a high tendency of local recurrence, but it usually does not develop metastasis. Although surgical excision with wide tumor-free margins may be necessary to obtain a complete cure, some of patients experience local recurrences. Many of the tumors are estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) positive and medical therapy with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists showed to be effective in a few cases. We present a case of 29-years-old women who has aggressive angiomyxoma which was misdiagnosed as bartholin duct cyst. She was treated by wide local excision with postoperative adjuvant GnRH agonist therapy for 3 months. She is now free of disease during 9 months of follow up. We have described this case with the brief of literature.
