2.A Case of Eye Lashes in an Anterior Chamber.
Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 1968;9(2_3):23-25
Authors found a case with a slight trauma in which two eye lashes penetrated into the anterior chamber. This 25 years old male patient came to our clinic 2 weeks after trauma on right eye and eyelid, complaining of photophobia, foreign body sensation and ocular pain which were persisted for two weeks. On slit-lamp examination, two eye-lashes on iris surface were found in the anterior chamber of his right eye and a dot like corneal superficial opacity was also found on 6 o'clock meridian near the limbus, but that is questionable whether it is penetrating wound or not. No other foreign body was noticed in the same chamber. The eye lashes were removed surgically and the one of them was carried out by iridectomy. The literatures were briefly reviewed for the mechanism of the penetration of the cilia was very mterestmg.

Urea reduction ratio (URR) and Kt/Vurea are objective parameters of dialysis delivery in hemodialysis patients and correlate with nutritional status and patient outcome. URR and Kt/Vurea depend on postdialysis blood urea nitrogen (BUN). In patients with severe postdialysis urea rebound (PDUR), these parameters do not accurately reflect dialysis adequacy. We measured PDUR 30 minutes after dialysis in 26 chronic stable hemodialysis patients. The impact of PDUR on dialysis delivery assessed by URR and Kt/Vurea and the independent factors affecting on PDUR were evaluated. All patients had been dialyzed for 4 hours thrice a week using hemophan membrane. 1) The mean age of patients was 48.6+/-14.8 years and sex ratio was 1:2.3. The mean duration of hemodialysis was 42.7+/-45.0 months. Primary renal diseases were chronic glomerulonephritis 11 (42.3%), diabetic nephropathy 7 (26.9%), and hypertension 4 (15.4%). 2) The mean blood flow was 209.2+/-17.4ml/min. URR, Kt/Vurea, and nPCR using immediate postdialysis BUN were 60+/-7%, 1.13+/-0.21, 1.09+/-0.28g/kg/ day, respectively. The mean recirculation rate was 4.4+/-2.3%. 3)The mean PDUR was 12.2+/-4.6% (range:6-22 %). URR, Kt/Vurea, and nPCR using BUN 30 minutes after dialysis were 55+/-7%, 0.99+/-0.18, and 1.02+/-0.25 g/kg/day, respectively and were significantly lower than those using immediate postdialysis BUN (P<0.05). 4) When the patients were divided according to the degree of PDUR (low PDUR group:<12%, high PDUR group: > or = 12%), high PDUR group was significantly higher than low PDUR group in hematocrit (27.0+/-2.6 vs. 23.5+/-3.6%, P=0.008), URR (64.3+/-5.4 vs. 55.8+/-6.8%, P=0.002), Kt/Vurea (1.26+/-0.17 vs. 1.03+/-0.18, P=0.002), and total recirculation rate (5.6+/-2.7 vs. 3.6+/-1.7%, P=0.05). There were no differences in age, sex, postdialysis body weight, ultrafiltration rate, blood flow, serum albumin, predialysis BUN, creatinine, and nPCR. 5) In multiple regression analysis, the independent factors affecting on PDUR were Kt/Vurea (beta=0.546, P<0.001), recirculation rate (beta=0.422, P<0.001), and hematocrit (beta=0.366, P=0.0017). In conclusion, we think that PDUR should be considered in hemodialysis patients when estimating dialysis delivery, especially if they had high Kt/ Vurea, recirculation rate, and hematocrit.

The authors observed clinically typical case of unilateral coloboma of the optic disc. This patient, 5 years old Korean boy, visited to our clinic with the chief complaints of visual disturbance and intermittant exotropia of left defecting eye. The optic disc was enlarged about 2.5 times of normal optic disc diameter excavated about 7.0 Diopters in depth. The vision of colombomatous left eye was 20/50(n.c.) but the cause of defective vision was not evaluated certainely whether it might be due to coloboma itself or slight posterior subcapsular opacity of the lens.

Proliferating cell nuclear ntigen (FCNA) iis a nuclear protein that is syntheaimd in late Gl and S phases of cell cycle and is correlated with the cell proliferative stale. The recent study demonstrated that FCNA functions in 13NA replication. The present study evaluated proliferetive iindices (PI) for the assessment of tumor proliferation and for investigating prognostic significancx, in cervical tumors. lmmunohiatoehemical PCNA staining was perfurmed in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded cervical tissues via the avidin-biotin-complex immunoperoxidase methad. Mean PI was 36.03+/-5.14% in normaI controls, as compared to 66.19+/-11.36% in cerviml intraepithelial neoplasia. and 63.19+/-10.94% in invasive cervical cancer. Our results showed no significant correlation between Pll and histological type. Among invasive cervical cancer (24 cases), PI waa 64.43+/-10.94% in squamoua cell carcinoma and 59.00+/-4.10% in adenocarcinoma. There was no eipiifiant relationship between Fl and clinical etage, and between PI and lesion size. This study auggeste that Pl may not serve as a new prognostie factor in cervical tumors.

For the purpose of elucidating relation between red cell electrolyte concentrations and serum digoxin level, measurement of red cell electrolyte concentrations and seum digoxin level by radioimmunoassay were done in 46 normal controls and 63 patients of CHF including 8 patients with digitalis intoxication. The results obtained were as follows: 1. Red cell sodium concentration and ratio of red cell sodium to red cell potassium concentration in normal males were significantly higher than those of females, and red cell potassium concentration in normal males was significantly lower than that of normal females. 2. Red cell potassium concentration in patients of CHF was significantly higher than that of normal controls, but there was no difference in the red cell sodium concentration between the groups. 3. There was no relation between red cell electrolyte concentrations and serum digoxin level, and red cell electrolyte concentration did not exactly estimate serum digoxin level. 4. Red cell electrolyte concentrations in the patient of CHF were valuable in detecting digitalis toxicity.
