Intra- and extrahepatic bile duct can be invaded by hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This is infrequent in HCC, but it can directly affect the clinical manifestation and prognosis. We present eight cases of HCCs with emphasis on the incidence and features of bile duct invassion on computed tomography (CT). Over a period of 22 months, abdominal CT was performed in 186 with HCC patients. Out of these, five cases of bile duct invasion by HCC were confirmed in our hospital and three in other hospitals. The eight cases were evaluated for the type, size and location. CT features of intraductal mass and ductal dilatation were evaluated. The incidence of bile duct invasion in HCC was 2.6%. Infiltrative type of HCC was seen in seven cases and six of these had mass 5-11 cm in size. The characteristic CT findings of bile duct invasion in HCC are mass in common hepatic duct with bulging contour(8/80, multiple intraductal masses in the intrahepatic ducts (5/8), and diffuse dilatation of intrahepatic ducts (7/8).

Chylous ascites is extravasation of lymphatic fluid and retention in the peritoneal cavity due to traurna or obstruction of the lymphatic system. Chylous ascites is very rare complication of Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) and is associated with trauma to the lymphatics during catheter insertion in the early stage of CAPD and repeated mild trauma to the lyrnphatics during longterm dialysis. Chylous ascites in the CAPD is suspected when the drained peritoneal fluid is milky white and confirmed by demonstration of the specific components of chyle, such as elevated triglyceride and low cholesterol than plasma and should be differentiated from pseudochyle and bacterial peritonitis. We report a case of chylous ascites in a patient undergoing CAPD at 2 months later of initiation of CAPD, which was not improved by conservative management. So CAPD catheter was removed and renal replacement therapy was changed to hemodialysis.

OBJECTIVE: The study aims to determine whether smokers are more likely to have depression, anxiety and impulsiveness than nonsmokers. In addition, the difference between male and female smokers in terms of psychiatric symptoms are also to be looked at, particularly considered that there is still social stigma against female smokers in Korea. Ultimately, conclusions of the report can decide whether the psychiatric factors should be regarded important in treating smokers and prevention of smoking. METHODS: The study is composed of two parts, a preliminary study to check confidence level of BIS-11 and the main study to examine relations between smoking and mental health. For the preliminary study, BIS-11 was translated into Korean to check its confidence level by interviewing 187 people, among whom 30 respondents had gone through an examination and a reexamination with one-week interval. Respondents of the main study were total 550 college students in Cheonan area. The questionaires were categorized into five parts; 1) sociodemographic variants 2) temporary Korean version of Barrat Impulsiveness Scale(Version 11: BIS-11) 3) Korean version of Beck Depression Inventory 4) trait anxiety scale from Korean verison of State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. SPSS Win9.0 has been run to analyze the outcome mainly using Two-Way ANOVA and independent T-test. RESULTS: Difference between genders/smokers and nonmokers: The overall score of BIS-11, one of its three subcategories: impromptuness, Beck Depression, and the combined score for multi scales were significantly higher among smokers. Female smokers showed significantly higher scores than male smokers in trait anxiety, overall BIS-11, and two of its three subcategories(indiscretion and motor), Beck Depression and the combined score for multi scales. Overall BIS-11, two of its three subcategories(indiscretion and motor), Beck Depression and the combined score for multi scales were meaningful variants in comparison between male smokers/ nonsmokers. While there was no significant difference between smokers and nonsmokers among men, significant difference was identified among women who showed higher scores across all variants. CONCLUSION: Although it is not sure whether it is the result or the cause of smoking it is confirmed that smokers have problems in psychiatric areas such as depression, anxiety, and inpromptuness, particularly among female smokers to greater degree. Therefore, it strongly implies that psychiatric aspects should be considered in preventing and treating severe smoking problems of female smokers along with physical ill effects.

PURPOSE: To assess the clinical and pathologic features of each type of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma,which is divided into three types according to gross appearance, and to determine the efficacy of CT in detectingthis tumor. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The pathologic and CT features of 53 surgically proven cases of intrahepaticcholangio-carcinoma were reviewed. On the basis of their gross appearance, the tumors were divided into threetypes, as follows: mass forming (n=33), periductal infiltrating (n=6), and intraductal growth type (n=14). CTscans were analyzed for sensitivity of detection and correlation between a tumors appearance and itshistopathology. RESULTS: The most common histopathologic feature of mass forming and periductal infiltrating typewas tubu-lar adenocarcinoma, while in the intraductal growth type, papillary adenocarcinoma (100%) was common.With regard to pattern of tumor spread, intrahepatic and lymph node metastasis were more common in the massforming and periductal infiltrating type than in the intraductal growth type. CT findings including intra-hepaticmass, ductal wall thickening or intraductal mass associated with segmental dilatation of intrahepataic bile ducts,corresponded with these morphologic types. CONCLUSION: This classification according to gross appearance is ofconsiderable value when interpreting the pathologic features of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. CT seems to be auseful modality for the detection of tumors and may be consistent with their gross morphologic findings.
