The accessory ovary can be defined as an extraovarian tissue that is located near the normal ovaries and is connected to the broad ligament, infundibulopelvic ligament or utero-ovarian ligament. It has very rarely been reported. The majority was found during abdominopelvic surgeries for any other purposes, because they were usually small and less than 1 cm in diameter adn gave no particular symptoms related simply to their presence. We reported a case of accessory ovary in which developed a simple cyst of a largest diameter of 12 cm, and discussed the significance of the accessory ovary in clinical and pathological aspects.

For evaluation of the response and toxicity of the combination chemotherapy, forty six patients with malignant ovarian tumors who had prior surgery were treated with combination chemotherapy from January 1985 to March 1991 at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Kyung-pook National University Hospital. The results were as follows : 1. The responses were in complete 20 cases(43.5%), in partial 9 cases(19,6%), in stable 6 cases(13.0%), in progressive 11 cases(23.9%) among 46 patients. 2. By the response rates of various combination chemotherapy regimens, the response rate of CAP was 64%(16/25), CP 57.1%(8/14), VAC 100%(3/3), VBP 50%(1/2), FAM 0%(0/1), and Melphalan 100%(1/1) respectively. 3. As the chemotoxicities of combination chemotherapy, leukopenia 20 cases(46.5%), thrombocytopenia 2 cases(4.7%), anemia 20 cases(46.5%), nephrotoxity 6 cases(14.6%), hepatotoxicity 7 cases(18.4%) were observed.

Zielke introduced new anterior instrumentation by modifying Dwyer system and called it the ventral derotation spondylodesis(VDS) system in 1976. This system is a powerful device and when the excised disc spaces are compressed with it, stable fixation can be obtained. But proper patient selection, meticulous operative technique and good post-operative care are essential to minimize serious complications. No results of this technique had been published in English-language literature until Moe reported the results of 66 cases of Zielke instrumentation in 1983. Zielke instrumentation was carried out in 12 cases of scoliosis;8 in idiopathic scoliosis and 4 in congenital scoliosis, at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital, for 16 months from November 1984 to March 1986. Seven cases had been followed for more then 9 months and'following results were obtained. 1. Numbers of vertebrae involved in major curve and numbers of fused vertebrae were 6·3 respectively. 2. Average preoperative curve was 72.7 degrees and immediate postoperative curve was 17.6 degrees with 75.8% correction. There was only 1.0 degree loss of correction with an average follow-up of 14 months (9-16 months). 3. Zielke instrumentation has the advantage of shorter fusion and better correction in thoracolumbar and lumbar scoliosis.

The effect of radiation on the liver should be of unusual interest in as much as there are two highly specialized kinds of epithelium besides an important endothelial system and vascular and fibrous elements tocompare, But there are several difficulites in the way of knowledge of the sensitivity and reaction of the liverto radiation. Perhaps the most important is the regenerative abillity of the liver cells. It has been assumed that the liver as an organ is relatively resistant to radiation injury. Yet there are reports of necrosis of the liverin man resulting from doses of radiation which have not caused a skin reaction or any demonstrable effect on the stomach. The author made an experiment to elucidate more clearly the changes in resum enezymes and histopathology of rat's liver following irradiation to the liver with a single dose of 2,000 rads. The resuls obtained are asfollows; 1. Serum SGOT activities were significatnly elevated, 1 and 2 weeks after irradiation, and normalized after 4 weeks. 2. Serum SGPT activities were significantly elevated 2 weeks after irradiation, and normalized after4 weeks. 3. Alakline phosphatase activity were significantly elevated 1, 2 and 4 weeks after irradiation, and normalized after 8 weeks. 4. Histopathologic changes were focal necrosis, inflammatory cell infiltration, loss of intra cytoplasmic glycogen particles, and vacuolar degenerations of hepatocytes. It appeared marked 2 weeks after irradiation, restored after 4 weeks, and normalized after 8 weeks.

The Scalenus anticus syndrome is a definite clinical entity and the result of pressure upon the component parts of the brachial plexus and the subclavian artery by the scalenus anticus, scalenus medius, scalenus minimus muscle and the first rib. This case, a fifty one years old male, complained of pain, tingling sensation in the right shoulder and arm. Roentgenograms showed no specific finding. Symptom was dramatically relieved by the scalenotomy. Six years later he had no complaints and no evidence of recurrence.
