Neonatal infective endocarditis is fatal and rare disease but recently there is a trend of an increase in incidence even without congenital heart disease when there are high risk as prematurity, central vein catheterization and neonatal cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Symchych reported that in about 3% of autopsy cases of an year, the findings of infective endocarditis were noted. In Korea, there was a case report but it was case of a premature infant who had umbilical vein catheterization and respiratory ventilator treatment. We experienced a case of neonatal infective endocarditis in a female infant who was delivered at 34 weeks gestational age without receiving central vein catheterization or neonatal cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Although she received intensive antibiotic therapy for staphylococcus cultured in blood, she died necessarily. We reported a case of neonatal infective endocarditis without cardiac anomaly with brief review of related literature.

Serum is free of cellular components. Because DNA is located in the nuclei or mitochondria of cells, serum could be assumed DNA free. Few previously published case reports to date have used serum for DNA typing. Here, we report on human genotyping via short tandem repeat (STR) analysis using serum as a sample, and discuss problems involved in the process.

In case of submucosal tumor, adenoma and atypism, we can't frequently use the snare polypectomy for treatment of them. Adenoma and atypism are premalignant, so other therapeutic modalities are necessary for resection of them. We have perfortned endoscopic mueosectomy such as strip biopsy, and "O"ring ligation on various mucosal lesions of upper GI tract in 23 patients(11 men, l2 women) from June 1993 to December l994. Fourteen patients wbo had adenoma were followed up endoscopically for 6 months to 24 months(mean: 14 months). The results were as follows: 23 patients(27 lesions) were enrolled in this study. Mean age was 50.3(range 32-74 years). The method of mucosectomy was strip biopsy in 19 cases(21 lesions), and "O"ring ligation in 4 cases(6 lesions). The rate of complete resection was 88.9%. If adenomas were resected incompletely, we added a laser therapy. There was no recurrence except a case in which carcinoma was detected on the other site during follow-up. No serious compication occurred such as massive bleeding or perforation. Based on the above results, the endoscopic mucosectomy is considered to be a safe and effective modality in the treatment of the flat polyps of upper GI tract and could be used for prevention of gastric cancer.

BACKGROUND: Lymphedema is a common condition occurring in over 50% of breast and cervix cancer patients. The pneumatic pump as used in the past is still utilized for the treatment. A complex lymphatic therapy was developed by Dr. Michael Foeldi of Germany in the 1980s, and was widely practiced with good effects. This study was to observe the practical effectiveness in patients receiving such treatment. METHODS: Twenty two patients diagnosed with lymphedema and treated in department of Family Medicine of National Health Insurance Corporation Ilsan Hospital from August 1, 2000 to September 30, 2001. They were observed with respect to the frequency of demographic characteristics, and were compared to assess the improvement of clinical symptoms before and after complex lymphatic therapy by independent samples T-test and the degree of edema reduction before and after complex lymphatic therapy by paired samples T-test (P-value<0.05). RESULTS: Among the 22 subjects 1 was a male and 21 were females and their mean age was 49.9 9.3. Cervix and breast cancer patients comprised 86.4% among the total. Twenty one cancer patients developed lymphedema after the operation or radiotherapy. Most were in stage 2 or 3 of edema with 81.8%. Relative to the edema onset time, there were 7 (33.3%) of less than 1 year, 5 (23.8%) from 1 to 3 years and 9 (42.9%) over 3 years. They came to see a lymphedema specialist in 2.9 3.9 years after edema progressed. The degree of lymphedema with 968.4 545.3 ml before the treatment was improved to 337.3 326.8 ml after the treatment which showed a statistically remarkable 65.0 33.2% effectiveness. CONCLUSION: Complex lymphatic therapy for the patients of lymphedema presented with a 65% edema reduction in our study. Thus, the therapy for such patients is considered the most effective method up to present.
