Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial tissue(gland and stroma) outside the uterus. The incidence of scar endometriosis is quite rare, and must differentiate with cellulitis and abscess. We have experienced one case of perineal endometriosis and one case of abdominal wall endometriosis at the site of postoperative wound scar. The possible pathogenesis of endometriosis and treatment were discussed.

A case of systemic cytomegalovirus infection in a newborn baby is reported. This female baby was born after 36 weeks gestation to a 30 year-old mother who had no prenatal problem except for breech presentation and placenta previa for which Caesarian section was given. The mother has two healthy children. The clinical course of this baby was characterized by repeat spells of apnea, cyanosis and edema, that progressed to deepening jaundice and generalized petechiae. She died 58 hours after birth. A characteristic linear calcification along the ventricular wall of the brain enabled us to suggest congenital nature of cytomegalic inclusion disease in the patient. Postmortem exmaination showed numeorous cystomegalic inclusions in kidneys, pancreas, liver and thyroid. There was subependymal and periaqueductal calcification together with hydrocepalus and cerebellar hypoplasia.

A clinicopathologic study was per formed on 14 cases of malignant nondysgerminomatous ovari an germ cell tumors(NDOGCT) treated at the department of obstetrics and gynecology in Korea Cancer Center Hospital between Jan. l987 and,Jun. 1992. The results obtained were as follows ; 1. Median age of the patients was 27.5 years (range, 5 to 54) 2.Clinical symptoms presented were abdminal pain(64.3%), abdominal palpable mass(42.9%), abdominal distension(28.5%) in order of frequency. 3. Histopathologically, 7 cases(50%) were irnmature teratoma, 4 cases(28.6%) were endoder mal sinus tumor, 1 case(7.1%) was embryonal cell carcinoma, 2 cases(14.3%) were mixed germ cell tumor. 4. Bystage, 6 casse(42.9%) were in stage I, 1 case(7.1%) in stage Il, 2 cases(14.3%) in stage III, 3 cases(21.4%) in stage IV, and 2 cases(14.3%) in recurrence. 5, Serum alphafetoprotein was elevated in all patients withendodermal sinus tumor or embryonal carcinoma, and serum CA125 was elevated in about one half of the patients with nondysgerminomatous gerrn cell tumr. 6. l0 cases were managed by salpingo-oophorectomy with poatoperative chemotherapy, 3 cases by hysterectamy and salpingo-oophorectomy with postoperative chemotherapy. 7. Durations of follow up ranged 5 to 66 months, in that period, 5 cases were died, 4 cases were alive with disease and 4 casee wero no evidence of disease. 1 case was loat follow up after operation. All 5 patients were alive who had been treated with REP regirnen. In conelusion, prognosis of malignant NDOGCT is still poor in spite of adjuvant chemotherapy following surgery, and study ineluding appropriate chemotherapeutic regimen may be needed.

OBJECTIVE: This study was performed to evaluate the expression of MAGE gene and human papillomavirus (HPV) 16, 18 type in patients with cervical neoplasia using in exfoliated cervical cells. METHODS: The expression of common MAGE gene (MAGE 1 to 6) in cervical scraps was studied by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in 12 normal control patient and 48 patients with abnormal cytologic results. In all 60 patients, colposcopic directed biopsy and HPV test by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was done. RESULTS: The pathologic results of 60 patients was 12 cervicitis, 37 cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (14 LSIL, 23 HSIL), and 11 invasive squamous cell carcinomas. No expression of common MAGE gene was detected in 12 cervical scraps of cervicitis. The common MAGE gene of LSIL, HSIL and invasive squamous cell carcinomas was expressed in two (14.3%), seventeen (73.9%), ten (90.9%) respectively. HPV type 16 or 18 was detected in 1 cervicitis, 5 LSIL, 20 HSIL and 10 invasive squamous cell carcinoma. In 51 patients (85%), the HPV test result and the common MAGE gene expression showed coincident results. CONCLUSION: This result suggests common MAGE gene might be potential tumor marker in cervical neoplasia and adjuvant test of the Papanicolaou smear.

Vaccination is an important strategy for controlling the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. We conducted a web-based cross-sectional survey based on Google Forms to collect data on adverse events (AEs) after the first dose of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine for healthcare workers (HCWs). Among the 1,676 vaccinated HCWs, 59.5% (998/1,676) responded to the survey. In total, 809 (81.1%) respondents reported experiencing AEs. There were no serious AEs, such as anaphylaxis. The most common AE was pain at the injection site (76.2%), followed by fatigue (75.9%), myalgia (74.9%), and fever (58.4%). HCWs in the younger age group experienced significantly more AEs than in the older age group.
