1.Comparison of Surgical Results Between Bilateral Recession and Unilateral Recession-Resection in Intermittent Exotropia.
Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 1992;33(7):733-738
To treat intermittent exotropia, bilateral recession or monocular recession-resection can be chosen. Thirty one cases of intermittent exotropia with preoperative exoangle 25 delta were treated with 8mm bilateral recession (15 cases) and 5.5mm recession of lateral rectus muscle combined with 5mm resection of medial rectus muscle (16 cases). The final surgical results were compared between the 2 groups. The surgical results were as follows: in bilateral recession group, 33.3% was satisfactory, 60.0% undercorrected, and 6.7% overcorrected with 13.7 months of follow-up in average, in monocular recession-resection group, 50.0% was satisfactory, 18.8% undercorrected, and 31.3% overcorrected with 13.0 months of follow-up in average. Monocular recession-resection procedure had better satisfactory result than that of bilateral recession procedure. The author agrees the opmion that recession-resection produces a more permanent result than recession alone because the resection of the medial rectus muscle locks the eye in better alignment, preserving the benefit of the recessed lateral rectus muscle.

Two cases of carcinoid tumor of the uterine cervix were reported with emphasis on the histologic, cytologic, histochemical and electron microscopic appearance of tumor cells. Based on the light microscopic findings, one case was a well differentiated carcinoid with acinus formation, and the other was a poorly differentiated anaplastic type, being composed of small cells similar to those of oat cell carcinoma of the lung. Both tumors demonstrated scattered argyrophilic cells on Grimelius stain, and contained neurosecretory granules on electron microscopy. They were in stages II b and IV, respectively, at the time of presentation. The latter patient was treated with vinblastin, platinol and bleomycin, but died in 9 months after the initial diagnosis. The former was lost to follow-up study. Importance of distinction between this highly malignant tumor and other varieties of cervical cancer was emphasized.

7.Clinical Outcomes of Browlift Using Various Methods.
Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 2014;55(4):473-479
PURPOSE: The present study investigated the outcomes of browlift using various surgical methods including direct browplasty, endoscopic browlift and transblepharoplasty browlift. METHODS: Twenty-eight brow ptosis cases in 19 patients were treated in the present study. The mean patient age was 67.9 +/- 9.7 years, and the mean observation period was 9.0 +/- 3.8 months. Nine cases were treated with direct browplasty, eight cases with endoscopic browlift and 11 cases with transblepharoplasty browlift. Photographs of patients were taken before surgery and two months, six months and on the final follow-up after surgery. The brow-to-pupil distance (BPD), brow-to-medial canthus distance (BMCD), and brow-to-lateral canthus distance (BLCD) were analyzed by the Image J Program. RESULTS: BPD increased 1.88 +/- 0.99 mm, BMCD increased 1.06 +/- 1.21 mm and BLCD increased 1.36 +/- 1.17 mm in all patients six months after surgery. Regarding the change in BPD, direct browplasty increased 1.79 +/- 1.29 mm, endoscopic browlift increased 1.94 +/- 0.80 mm and transblepharoplasty browlift increased 1.90 +/- 0.94 mm without significant difference among the groups on the final follow-up. In terms of brow shape, direct browplasty effectively elevated the lateral brow and endoscopic browlift effectively elevated the medial brow compared to other procedures. No significant complications were observed in any patient. CONCLUSIONS: Browlift techniques such as direct browplasty, endoscopic browlift and transblepharoplasty browlift are safe and effective surgical methods to correct brow height and shape in patients with brow ptosis without any significant complications.

Recent advances in understanding the anatomy of complete atrioventricular septal defect have led to alternative methods of repairing these defects. Here we report two cases of complete atrioventricular septal defect repair by direct closure of the ventricular element of the defect. Follow-up for average of 3 months suggests that, when direct closure can be performed, the results can be comparable with those of the standard technique. Our initial success with this approach is encouraging; however, longer follow-up and more experiences are required to establish whether it will be broadly applicable.

10.Peanut Agglutinin Binding Activity in Overian Malignant Mucinous Tumors.

Korean Journal of Pathology 1987;21(4):249-256
The positive binding activity of lectin, peanut agglutinin (PNA), against the mucinous malignancies of the ovary was studied in order to clarify biologic differences among those lesions using immunoperoxidase method (ABC). A total of 23 cases were included in this study and they were classified as 10 cases of mucinous cystadenocarcinoma, 9 mucinous tumors of borderline malignancy and 4 pseudomyxoma peritonei, histologically. Nine of 10 cystadenocarcinomas and all cases of pseuomyxoma peritonei showed more than moderate degree of positive binding activity (>2+) with PNA in the neoplastic epithelial cells. In the cases of borderline malignancy, only 3 of 9 revealed as much similar binding pattern with PNA as cystadenocarcinoma group, in contrast, minimal degree of positivity (1+) was noted in the remainder. These findings may suggest heterogeneity in the biochemical characteristics among the cases of borderline lesion. And it is proposed that the higher PNA binding cases in ovarian mucinous borderline malignancy require extensive sampling by multiple sections and further careful follow-up study.
