The concentration of the turnor markera CA 125 and CA 15-3 in serum of patients with ovarian tumors was quantitated to test if there is a diacrimination between benign and malignant ovariam tumors. In the study of 96 patients, 76 benign ovarian tumniors and 20 malignant ovarian tummors, the sensitivity of the preoperatiue serurn CA 125 level (>35U/ml) in cletezting malignant tumor was 75%, spicificity 78%, positive predictive value 47% engative predictive value 92%, diagnostic efficacy 77%. The sensitivit,y of the preopratiue aerum CA 15-3 level (>20U/ml) was 30%, specilicity 99%, positive prdictive value 86%, negative prodictive value 84%, deagnostic value 84%. In the elevation of CA 125 alone and both Ca 125 and 15-3 concentration, the positivity and false positivity were 70%,11% and 25%, 1% in the doagnosis of malignant ovarian tumor respectuvely. Therefore our results suggest that additional measurement of CA 15-3 is more helful than measure ment of CA 125 alone in descriminating benign from malignant ovarian tumors by increasing the specificity.

A case of a 17 years old Korean adolescent who suffered from secondary hydronephrosis and chronic pyelonephritis of the left kidney due to a obstructive adenofibroma, a rare tumor, arising at the ureteropelvic junction of the left renal pelvis was presented.

Parturition*

Lamellar keratoplasty was done to six eyes with preserved rabbit corneas including scleral rim of 1-2mm which were preserved in three kinds of 5cc. alcohol-glycerine (A.G) solution at room temperature for the period of one month to three years and their macroscopical and histological study was carried out. Three kinds of solution were; 1. A.G. No.1 solution; 50% ethyl alcohol and 100% glycerine mixed by equal ratio. 2. A.G. No.2 solution; 50% ethyl alcohol and 100 % glycerine mixed by two to one ratio. 3. A.G. No.3 solution; 50% ethyl alcohol and 100% glycerine mixed by three to one ratio. The results of the above mentioned lamellar keratoplasty with the corneas preserved in three solutions were uniformly good in all groups. The results of keratoplasty with the corenas preserved for 3 years were as follows; 1. Transplantation of the preserved corneas in A. G. No.1 solution showed transparent adhesions in two eyes, partial opacity in one, total opacity in two, and rejection in one. Neo-vascularization in this groupwas more prominent than in other groups. 2. Transplantation of the corneas preserved in A.G. No.2 solution resulted in transparent adhesion in four eyes, partial pacity one, and total opacity in one and this result could be evaluated as the best of all three groups. 3. Transplantation of the corneas preserved in A.G. No. 3 solution showed transparent adhesion in two eyes, partial opacity in three, and total opacity in one and this result was slightly inferior to that of the second group. 4. Lamellar keratoplasty with human cornea preserved in A.G. No.2 solution for 18 and 33 months in the 2 cases of corneal leucoma after recurrent meta-herpetic keratitis, resulted in success respectively.
