Histological studies were carried out on the degranulation of mesenteric mast cells of albino rats in which excised pieces of rat mesentery were incubated in media containing morphine and meperidine hydrochloride. The following conclusions were obtained. 1. The experimental dose of 0.04mg./ml. of morphine hydrochloride in Tyrode solution for the incubated mesenteric pieces brought about the degranulation of mast cells. 2. The experimental dose of 0.04mg./ml. of meperidine hydrochloride in Tyrode solution for the incubation of the mesenteric pieces did not effect the cytological changes of the mast cells. 3. By the addition of metabolic inhibitor such as iodoacetic acid to the incubating medium the degranulation of the mast cells was remarkably inhibited for the group in which the incubation was carried out for 20 minutes. However, the inhibition of the degranulation of the mast cells due to the metabolic inhibitor was abolished after 30 minutes of incubation. Consequently the authors have demonstrated the effect of morphine hydrochloride in its ability to induce a degranulation of mesenteric mast cells in vitro.

The primary malignant tumor of the peritoneum also known as primary peritoneal carcinoma or primary peritoneal papillary serous carcinoma is rare and involves the peritoneum, especially the pelvic peritoneum of female patients. It is difficult to differentiate histologically between papillary mesothelioma, primary ovarian tumor and primary peritoneal carcinoma. We report two cases of the primary peritoneal carcinoma with clinical presentation and histologic characteristics.

Pilomyxoid astrocytoma (PMA) is a newly recognized variant of a pilocytic astrocytoma. This report describes a case of a pilomyxoid astrocytoma that occurred in the opticohypothalamus. The patient was a 18-year-old girl who complained decreased visual acuity and visual field over a period of two years. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed an irregular lobulated tumor with heterogeneous enhancement at the suprasellar region involving the hypothalamus. The mass was partially removed via the subfrontal approach. Its pathology was confirmed to be PMA. Adjuvant chemotherapy with cisplatin and vincristine was started following tumor resection. After four cycles, the mass showed a partial response to the chemotherapy. Although long-term outcome is yet to be determined, the administration of combined cisplatin and vincristine treatment seems to be an effective regimen for a pilomyxoid astrocytoma.

Despite a reduction in the mortality of patients with brain abscess since the introduction antibiotics and computed tomography controversy persists as to the preferred method of treatment for this condition. Twenty two patients were treated by CT or MRI guided stereotactic aspiration or excision with appropriate antibiotic therapy. Thirteen patients who were treated by aspiration recieved a total of 6 to 8 weeks of antibiotic therapy. Eight patients who were treated by excision recieved a total of 1 to 2 weeks of antibiotic therapy. One patient was managed with biopsy followed by antibiotic therapy, but due to increase in size of abscess, open craniotomy was performed. Stereotaxy is a procedure with minimal morbidity and mortality. It should be considered in patients with small, multiple, or deep-seated abscesses, in those who are poor operative candidates, and in those who have failed prior therapy. Stereotactic excision may be considered in patients with small(< 20mm) superficially located abscesses.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of tongue cleaner-equipped manual toothbrush on tooth cleanness, tongue cleanness and malodor index. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 504 subjects were included in this study. At 1st visit, basic information such as age, sex, smoking amount and alcohol consumption was recorded. Self assessment by individual subjects was performed regarding satisfaction to old toothbrush and toothbrushing habit. Tooth cleanness, tongue cleanness and malodor index was assessed by professional researcher. Tongue cleaner-equipped manual toothbrush was given to each subject with proper toothbrushing instruction. After 1 month passed, self assessment and researcher assessment regarding the same index were performed and analyzed statistically by chi-square test. RESULTS: At 1st visit subjects seem to ignore tongue cleansing and showed poor tooth cleanness index, tongue cleanness index and malodor index, however the same subjects were motivated to clean their tongue and teeth and presented statistically improved distribution pattern in tooth cleanness index, tongue cleanness index and malodor index after using tongue cleaner-equipped manual toothbrush(p<0.01). Satisfaction to tongue cleaner-equipped manual toothbrush was 98%. CONCLUSION: Tongue cleaner-equipped manual toothbrush would be an effective tool for maintaining good oral hygiene through improving tooth and tongue cleanness and preventing malodor formation.

BACKGROUND: Eosinophilia in the nasal secretion and mucosal tissues is the characteristic finding of allergic rhinitis. We compared the effects of nasal budesonide dipropionate and oral terfenadine on the symptom score and nasal secretion eosinophils in perennial allergic rhinitics. MATERIALS AND METHOD: Study subjects consisted of 81 patients with perennial allergic rhinitis and nasal eosinophilia. Fifty-seven patients were treated with nasal budesonide and 24 patients were treated with oral terfenadine for two weeks respectively. Nasal secretion eosinophils were measured as the percentage of total leukocytes under microscope. Symptom scores for sneezing, rhinorrhea, obstruction and itching were graded from 0 (no symptom) to 3 (severe symptom). RESULTS: In budesonide treatment group, symptom score reduction (total symptom score before treatment-total symptom score after treatment) was 5.1, while it was 2.3 in the terfenadine treatment group, which revealed a statistically significant difference (p<0.01). Reduction of eosinophils was 50% in the budesonide treatment group and 28% in terfenadine treatment group (p=0.045). There was statistically significant correlation between total symptom score and % eosinophils (r= 0.668 , p<0.01 ) CONCLUSION: Although both the nasal budesonide and oral terfenadine substantially reduced the proportion of eosinophils in the nasal secretion as well as symptoms in allergic rhinitics with eosinophilia, budesonide was superior to terfendine. Nasal eosinophils correlated with reduction of allergic symptoms in a statisticaly significant manner.
