OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate clinical charactoristics of adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix. STUDY METHODS: This study is a retrospective analysis of 103 patients with adenocarcinoma of cervix treated at the Kosin Medical center forom 1984 to 1993. RESULTS: The distribution by stage of disease included FIGO stage I, 51(49.6%); stage II, 32(31%); Stage III, 17(16.5%);Stage IV, 3(2.9%). The 2-year survival results for patients with stage I was 93.5%; stage II was 72.4%;stage III was 46.2% and stage IV was none survived. And 4 year survival results,'83.3/o, 591% and 33.3/o in stage I, II and III, reqxetively. The 4-year survivel rate varied significantly according to tumor size and lymph nade metastasis status-below 2cm 84.2%, 2cm~4cm 75%, above 4cm 0%: (stage I);negative node 91.3%, positive node 40% (stage I). The results of resurrent rate according to clinical stage was 11.8%, 25.8%, 84.6% and 100 % in stage I, ll, III and lV, respectively. CONCLUSION: Treatment strategies should be based on the stage of disease, tumor size, lymph node metastasis status and recurrent.

We analysed forty-six cases of femoral neck fracture treated with internal fixation and followed for more than one year at Korea University Hospital from January 1979 to June 1986 and the following results were obtained. 1. Sex distribution was 23 cases(50%) male and 23 cases(50%) female, and average age was sixty years old (range from 21 to 91 years). 2. The most common cause of injury was slip down(76%). 3. The most common type of fracture was Garden's type III(46%) and Pauwels' type III (67%). 4. In cases of internal fixation, the most commonly used method was closed reduction and multiple pinning under the local aneshtesia(83%). 5. Bony union was established within 5.9 months in average. 6. Among forty six cases, 7 cases(15%) of avascular necrosis, 4 cases(9%) of malunion, and 2 cases(4%) of nonunion was occurred. 7. The clinical results were excellent in twenty cases(43%), good in sixteen cases(35%), fair in seven cases(15%), and poor in three cases(7%) according to Lunceford's assessment.

Intraspinal synovial cysts are rare but they are being documented with increasing frequency due to improvements in radiological imaging. However, hemorrhage into synovial cysts is uncommon, and affected patients may present with acute onset radiculopathy. This type of hemorrhage is known to result from rupture of fragile neoangiogenic vessels in the cyst wall, due to a traumatic event or anticoagulant therapy. Here, the authors present a rare case of hemorrhagic lumbar synovial cyst caused by spinal instability after microscopic discectomy. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first report of hemorrhagic lumbar synovial cyst caused by spinal instability following microscopic discectomy in the absence of a traumatic event or anticoagulant therapy. We discuss the pathophysiological mechanism of this uncommon entity and provide a review of the literature.
