Fibrous histiocytoma composed of fibroblasts and histiocytes is quite variable in histologic pattern. The biologic behavior is unpredictable by histologic ground. This tumor is well-known in subcutaneous tissue and deep soft tissue, but quite rare in central nervous system. We experienced a case of the fibrous histiocytoma involving the dura mater of spinal cord in a 26 year old female patient. In gross findings, the mass was a well demarcated, ovoid mass attached to the dura matter, and measured 2.5x1.5 cm in diameter. The cut surface was rubbery, solid, gray-white or yellow. Microscopically, the lesion consisted of polyhedral cells with round or oval nuclei and faintly eosinophilic or vaculoated cytoplasm, and multinucleated giant cells. Some giant cells were Touton-type. Composing cells were bland-looking. Mitotic figures were average 3 per 10 high power fields.

The clinical and pathological features of a case Malignant mixed mullerian tumor of the ovary in 45 year-old female patient with a brief review of the literature are presented. She had both ovarian tumors. The masses are multilocular cystic tumor with interspersed solid component. The cystic component is filled with serous fluid. Microscopically the tumor is composed of epithelial element & intimately related mesenchymal element. The epithelial element shows the findings of adenocarcinoma of solid, glandular and papillary growth. The mesenchymal element is composed of malignant-looking stroma with cartilage formation.

Primary germ cell tumor of the testis is rare, which occupies 1 to 2% of all reported malignant male neoplasms. Combined primary germ cell tumor of the testis composed of embryonal carcinoma and seminoma is more rare tumor. The authors experienced a case of 50-year old male who presented with painless enlargement of right testicle. He has had radical orchiectomy and diagnosed by pathologically as combined germ cell tumor of testis. The testicle is measuring 180 gm in weight and 9×6×5 cm in dimension, and almostly replaced by tumor mass. Grossly the tumor is rubbery solid smooth tumor mass, with variegated cut surface with geographically outlined diffuse necrotic area. Histologically the tumor is composed of two components of tumor, which are solid growth pattern of large round to polyhedral cells with clear or granular cytoplasm and distinct cell border, and anastomosing glandular and papillary arrangement of anaplastic epithelial cells. The former corresponds to seminoma, and the latter to embryonal carcinoma. Each tumor lobule is separated by abundant fibrous stroma.

Antioxidative function of uncooked powdered food (Sangsik) was evaluated in rats consuming nutritionally unbalanced diet including 1% cholesterol, high proportion of animal lipids (lard : soybean oil : 8 . 2) , sub-optimal levels of vitamin and mineral mixture along with 0.5% ethanol in drinking water. The uncooked powdered food tested in the present study was a mixture composed of 42 kinds of plant foods (cereals, legumes, seaweeds, vegetables, and fruits) supplemented with vitamins and minerals, and dietary fiber. Control rats were fed the semi-purified diet based on the AIN-93G composition, and nutritionally unbalanced rats were divided into 3 groups, and fed one of the following diets with 0.5% ethanol in drinking water for 5 weeks : unbalanced control diet (UC) ,20% Sangsik powder supplemented diet (S20), and 40% Sangsik powder supplemented diet (S40) . Food efficiency ratio was significantly higher in rats fed S40 compared to the value for rats fed UC (p<0.05). Hepatic level of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) was significantly lower in rats fed UC compared to that for control rats (p<0.05), and was not influenced by dietary supplementation of the Sangsik powder. Hepatic superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity was significantly higher in rats fed UC compared to that for control rats (p<0.05), and significantly reduced in rats fed S20 or S40 compared to the value for unbalanced control rats. Feeding unbalanced control diet significantly reduced the ratio of hepatic GSH-Px + catalase/SOD activities compared to the value for control rats, and this decrease in the ratio of antioxidant enzyme activities was reversed by adding the Sangsik powder to the diet at 20% (p<0.05) . Based on the results of antioxidant enzyme activities, feeding uncooked powdered diet appears to provide a favorable environment for body's antioxidative defense mechanism. Serum levels of Fe and Cu were significantly lower in rats fed the Sangsik powder supplemented diets compared to the value for unbalanced control rats (p<0.05), and levels of Se, Mn, and Zn were also tended to be decreased by dietary supplementation of the Sangsik powder. These results postulate the possibility that ingredients used in the uncooked powdered food may decrease the bioavailability of trace elements in rats.

This study represents the immune reaction pattern of gastric carcinoma, based on the morphologic characteristics of regional lymph nodes in the cases of stomach carcinomas. The materials were obtained from the resected specimens from 100 carcinoma patients. We chose Tsakraklides' method in classification of the structure of lymph node, which are as follows: lymphocyte predominance, germinal center predominance, unstimulated and lymphocyte depletion. The incidence was as follows: lymphocyte predominance 45, germinal center predominance 32, unstimulated 21 and lymphocyte depletion 2. In the lymph nodes of peptic ulcer, lymphocyte predominance pattern was most common. The reactivity of lymph nodes is suppressed proportionally to the severity of cancers, thus the advanced case of cancer exhibited lymphocyte depletion pattern which suggests exhaustion of immune reaction. The lymphocyte predominance pattern was frequent in superficial type and expanding type of gastric carcinoma. The cancer metastasis of lymph node in lymphocyte predominance was smaller than the other type of lymph nodes, while metastasis increased progressively higher with the orders as following: lymphocyte predominance, germinal center predominance, unstimulated and lymphocyte depletion.

9.The Effects of Tenzel Operation on Cicatricial Entropion.
Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 1993;34(10):943-949
Tarsus wedge resection and lid margin splitting with recession. Tenzel operation, were performed for cicatricial entropion of seventeen eyelids in twelve patients. The ages ranged from 10 to 68 years(mean, 45.1 years). Seven patients were women and five patients were men. The causes of entropion were chemical burn, thermal burn, ocular pemphigus and previous lid operations All patients were satisfied with good cosmesis, functional results without recurrences and improvement of tearing, ocular pain and photo-phobia after the follow-up period of 3 to 36 months. The advantages of Tenzel operation over other methods were simplicity, excellent cosmetic and functional effects and less recurrence. Therefore, Tenzel operation is recom mended as the method of choice for cicatricial entropion.

We report a case of type IV hyperlipoproteinemia associated with xanthoma tuberosum and diabets mellitus in a 48 year old female patient. She had several yellowish-brown papules on the knees and palms. The blood glucose level was elevated and serum lipid and lipoprotein analysis revealed patterns of type IV hyperlipoproteinemia. Histopathologic findings of yellowish-brown papules on the knee showed the aggregation of foam cells in the dermis. She has been treated with diet control and hypolipidemic drug(lovastatin and procetofen) and is under our continuing supervision.
