Primary carcinoma of the uterine tube is one of the least common gynecologic malignancies with a reported incidence of approximately 0.3%. As a result of it, the experience of any one physian is limited. Almost all cases are adenocarcinoma and the cilinical presentation is generally nonspecific, of which the most common symptom is postmenopausal vaginal bleeding. Primary fallopian tube carcinima is infrequently diagnosed before explolatory laparotomy and the majority of patients have extensive disease at diagnosis. We have experienced a case of fallopian tube cancer and report with brief review of literature

Retinal hemorrhages in the newborn infant were first described shortly after the invention of the ophthalmoscope(Jaeger. 1961). Frequency of the retinal hemorrhages in the newborn infant has been reported to be between 2.6 and 50%. We postulate that the retinal hemorrhages are caused by maternal factors and fetal factors. Maternal factors include delivery type, maternal age, duration of pregnancy, parity, duration of labor, and maternal blood pressure. Fetal factors include color of the amnionic fluid, body weight, and sex. We examined the fundus of 161 newborn infants and investigated the above factors that influenced the retinal hemorrhages. The results were as follows: 1. The overall incidence of the retinal hemorrhages were 35.4%. 2. According to the delivery types, retinal hemorrhages were found in 57.9% after vacuum extraction, in 41.7% after induction delivery, in 33.8% after spontaneous delivery, and in 13.5% after Cesarean section. 3. As the duration of pregnancy increased in complicated delivery, retinal hemorrhages also tendted to increase. 4. The incidence of hemorrhages were greater in the hypertensive mother and abnormal color of amnionic fluid in spontaneous delivery. 5. The incidence of retinal hemorrhages were greater in the high body weight, multipara, and normal duration of labor. 6. Retinal hemorrhages were not related the maternal age and fetal sex. 7. Retinal hemorrhages were absorbed within four weeks.

PURPOSE: Inferior blow-out fracture is the common facial fracture. Unsatisfactory functional and aesthetic outcomes are frequent when it is treated inappropriately. If fractures are extended and reach the posterior end of orbital floor, enophthalmos frequently followed as complication. The PURPOSE of this study was to evaluate reduction technique of extensive inferior blow-out fracture with ballooning of foley catheter through endoscopic transnasal approach and implantation of Medpor(R) through subciliary approach. METHODS: A retrospective study was performed on 14 patients with extensive inferior blow-out fracture who underwent ballooning of foley catheter through endoscopic transnasal approach with implantation of Medpor(R) through subciliary approach. Patients were operated from May 2005 to November 2007. Data for 14 patients were acquired from patient's charts. Preoperative and postoperative data for enophthalmos, diplopia, limitation of extraocular motion were reviewed. Preoperative and postoperative CT scan were also checked. The patients were followed up from 4 to 18 months. RESULTS: The enophthalmos was corrected in all patients. Among 7 patients with diplopia preoperatively, diplopia was resolved in three patients postoperatively. The diplopia persisted in four patients and two of them also had limitation of extraocular motion postoperatively. The limitation of extraocular motion occurred in seven patients preoperatively. But five patients recovered after operation immediately. These symptoms were resolved about three months after the operation. CONCLUSION: The ballooning of foley catheter through endoscopic transnasal approach with implantation of Medpor(R) through subciliary approach can be considered one of the appropriate technique for extensive inferior blow- out fracture.

PURPOSE: Arteriovenous fistula is one of high flow vascular malformations. Recently, arteriovenous fistula has been regarded as one of the type of arteriovenous malformations. The patients were diagnosed as arteriovenous malformation Schobinger clinical stage II. Even though arteriovenous fistula rarely occurs on head and neck, treatment of that is difficult due to frequent recurrence. In treating the arteriovenous fistula, chemical embolization, surgical excision and other treatment modalities were used, but the results were not satisfactory. The authors experienced three cases of arteriovenous fistula and treated them with surgical excision. METHODS: In cases, warmth, enlargement, pulsation, thrill, and bruit were found. For the accurate evaluation before the operation, angiography and MRI were checked in advance. Incision was made on the site of pulsation. The artery and vein connected to the arteriovenous fistula were dissected widely, individually ligated, and divided. And then the entire mass was totally removed. RESULTS: All surgical sites were healed well without complications and there was no evidence of recurrence in all cases up to for 2 years of follow-up examination. CONCLUSION: The arteriovenous fistula on face is a very rare disease and has difficulties in treatment. The authors experienced three cases of arteriovenous fistula with complete surgical removal and no recurrence was found in all cases.

In central neurons, an excessive or sustained rise in the concentration of free cytoplasmic Ca2+ ions([Ca2+]i) after hypoxia may promote rapid neurodegeneration both in vitro and in vivo. Treating cells with Ca2+ chelating agents may prevent or delay a loss of cellular Ca2+ homeostasis after hypoxic injury and thus constitute an effective strategy for minimizing neuronal damage. Cell-permeant Ca2+ chelators such as 1,2-bis-(2-aminophenoxy) ethrane -N,N,N',N' -tetraacetic acid acetoxymethyl ester(BAPTA-AM) have shown evidence of neuroprotective effect against hypoxic neuronal injury. This study was designed to examine dose response and to estimate therapeutic window of BAPTA-AM for the recovery from hypoxia in vitro. Electrophysiological studies were made in CA1 neurons in rat hippocampal slices which were superfused with artificial cerebrospinal fluid(ASCF) in tissue chamber. Hypoxia was induced by replacement of 95% N2+5% CO2 from 95% O2+5% CO2 for 20min. Recovery from hypoxic injury was evaluated by using a percentage recovery of population spike. BAPTA-AM in concentration of 1, 10 and 50micrometer were administered to the artificial cerebrospinal fluid(ASCF) for 2 hours prior to hypoxia, simultaneous with hypoxia and after hypoxia. The experimental specimens were divided to seven groups and each group was compared to control ASCF group. Recovery of population spike after hypoxia was about 70% in control ASCF group, which was mild type hypoxic injury. BAPTA-AM in 10 micrometer concentration, when given just prior to hypoxia, enhanced recovery of poppulation spikes at 15 and 30min following reoxygenation(p<0.05), in comparison with control ASCF. BAPTA-AM had no neuroprotective acitvity when given after the onset of hypoxia. Also, BAPTA-AM in 1 and 50 micrometer concentration did not accentuate recovery of population spike after hypoxia. Dose response curve was inverted U-shape and the response was maximun in 10 micrometer concentration of BAPTA-AM.

After injection of See of 10% fluorescein sodium into the antecubital vein, the arm-to-retinal times of 22 normal adults were measured by watching through KOWA fundus camera (exciter filter: Fuji 18, barrier filter: Kodak Wratten 15G), and the retinal circulation times of 13 normal adults were measured with pictures of the serial fluorescein angiography by ZEISS fundus camera (exciter filter: Kodak Wratten 47A, barrier filter: Schott GG14). The normal ranges and the mean values of arm-to-retinal time and retinal circulation time are: 1. Arm-to-retina time; 9.0 sec. - 21.5 sec. (mean; 14.1 sec.). 2. Retinal circulation time; a. Early venous phase; 1.0 sec. - 5.0 sec. (mean; 2.6 sec.). b. Late venous phase; 4.5 sec. - 11.0 sec. (mean: 8.1 sec.).
