A 77-year old man living in Kyunggi-Do, Korea was surgically treated at Seoul National University Hospital on April 1981, because of acute abdomen. At laparotomy, a 1.77m long adult Taenia saginata was found both in gallbladder and in common bile duct to cause acute gangrenous cholecystitis. The relevant literature were reviewed and possible mechanisms of the disease were discussed.

This study was undertaken to observe the effects of centrally administred antihistamines on the blood pressure. Diphenhydramine(DPH), a H1-receptor antagonist, and ranitidine(RAN), a H2-receptor antagonist were administered intracerebroventricularly(icv) on urethane-anesthetized rabbits. 1) Both DPH and RAN administered intraccebroventricularly increased blood pressure, however the intravenous(iv) adminstration of them did not affect blood pressure. The pressor response to icv DPH was dose-dependent, but that to icv RAN was not. 2) The pressor response to icv DPH(1mg) was either markedly attenuated or reversed to depressor response by the pretreatment with icv phentolamine(250,500ug), and iv chlorisondamine(0.1, 1mg/Kg) and iv phenoxybenzamine(1mg/Kg). In cord-sectioned rabbtis, icv RAN) 1mg) did not produce pressor response. 3) The pressor responsr to icv RAN(1mg) was not affected by the pretreatment with icv phentolamine(500ug), iv chlorisondamin(1mg/Kg) and iv phenoxybenzamine(1mg/Kg), and iv phenoxybenzamine(1mg/Kg). RAN also producted pressor response in cordsectioned rabbits. These results suggest that the pressor response to icv DPH is elecited by increasing peripheral sympathetic tone via the stimulation of central alpha-adrenoreceptors and the pressor response to icv RAN is produced by releasing some humoral facotr which can increase blood pressure.

Hantaan and related viruses have been implicated as causative agents for a diverse group of human diseases known collectively as "hemorrhagic fevers with renal syndrome" (HFRS). Outbred SD rats obtained within 24 hours after birth were inoculated by intracerebral (the first group) or intramuscular routes (the second group) with 10(9.5)/ml DL50 of Hantaan seed virus suspension in 0.02 ml and 0.1 ml, respectively. Brain, lung, liver, kidney and spleen were used for virus antigen detection by immunofluorecence and histopathologic examination. In the first group, immunofluorescent intensity of virus antigen was increased in all organs (especially brain) and persisted until time of death(day 9). The histopathologic changes were relatively mild in brain and spleen and unremarkable in liver, lung and kidney. In the second group, immunofluorescent intensity of virus antigen was markedly increased in brain until time of death(day 17), but decreased in other organs. The histopathologic findings, such as meningoencephalitis, interstitial pneumonitis with focal hemorrhage, and lymphoid hyperplasia of splenic white pulp were much prominent compared to the first group. However, those of liver and kidney were unremarkable. The chronology of virologic and pathologic findings in Hantaan-infected suckling rats suggests a possible immune-mediated mechanism in disease pathogenesis.

The term endometriosis refers to ectopic endometriume. It most often involves the pelvic organs, including ovaries, broad and round ligaments, fallopian tubes, cervix, vagina and the pouch of Douglas. We report a case of vesical endometriosis in a 4- year old female patient and review literature. Segmental resection of this mass with involved bladder resulted in cure and this lesion was confirmed histologically as endometriosis of the bladder.
