Chronic sclerosing sialadenitis, Mikulicz disease or Kuttner tumor has been recently recognized as a spectrum of IgG4-related sclerosing disease. IgG4-related disease is characterized by a high serum IgG4 level and tissue infiltration of IgG4-positive plasmacytes. We report three cases of chronic sclerosing sialadenitis with variably associated systemic involvement. All patients presented with a submandibular mass or swelling, and all the resected submandibular glands showed diffuse lymphocytic infiltration, lymphoid follicles, and septal fibrosis. Two of the specimens revealed numerous IgG-positive plasma cells, most of which were IgG4-positive on immunohistochemical staining. One of them was associated with dacryoadenitis and hypophysitis. The other patient had ureterorenal lesions. Immunohistochemical study was unavailable in remaining one case, but the histologic features along with elevated IgG level and associated pancreatitis supported the diagnosis. All patients received steroid therapy postoperatively and are doing well. Salivary gland involvement in IgG4-related fibrosclerosis should be recognized in systemic medical pathology.

Alveolar soft-part sarcoma of the female genital tract are extremely rare. Fewer than 30 cases have been described in the literature. We experienced a case of alveolar soft-part sarcoma of the female genital tract which was diagnosed by routine light microscopic study using ultrastructural and immunohistochemical stain. We report this case with a brief review of the literature.

The incidence of inadvertent posterior capsular rupture at each stage of planned ECCE and posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation was studied. From June 1985 to Dec. 1986, 133 cases of planned ECCE for posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation were performed. Posterior capsular rupture with or without vitreous loss was developed in 11 cases(8.2%) out of 133. The rupture occurred during nuclear expression in 2 cases(1.5%), during cortical clean-up in 6 cases(4.5%), during remval removal of anterior capsular flaps in 2 cases(1.5%), during posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation in 1 case(0.7%), but during posterior capsule polishing in nocase(0%). Vitreous loss was combined with posterior capsular rupture in 6 cases(4.5%), but the other 5 cases were not associated with vitreous loss(3.7%). After management of vitreous loss by automated anterior vitrectomy in 10 cases, anterior chamber intraocular lens was implanted. But in the other 1 cases with mid posterior capsular rupture without vitreous loss, anterior chamber intraocular lens was implanted without anterior vitrectomy. A final visual acuity of 0.5 or better by 2 months postoperatively was observed in 10 cases out of 11(91%).

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of four surface treatment methods to improve zirconia roughness and three types of resin cement on the shear bond strength (SBS). Materials and methods: A total of 120 zirconia blocks were randomly divided into four surface treatments: non-treatment (Control), airborne-particle abrasion (APA) with 50 μm Al2O3 (APA50), APA with 125 μm Al2O3(APA125), and ZrO2 slurry (ZA). Three resin cements (Panavia F 2.0, Superbond C&B, and Variolink N) were applied to the surface-treated zirconia specimens. All specimens were subjected to SBS testing using a universal testing machine. The surface of the representative specimens of each group was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). SBS data were analyzed with oneway ANOVA, two-way ANOVA test and post-hoc Tukey HSD Test (α=.05). Results: In the surface treatment method, APA125, APA50, ZA, and Control showed high shear bond strength in order, but there was no significant difference between APA125 and APA50 (P >.05). Also, ZA showed significantly higher shear bond strength than Control (P <.05). In the resin cement type, Panavia F 2.0, Superbond C&B, and Variolink N showed significantly higher shear bond strength in order (P <.05). In SEM images, the zirconia surfaces of the APA50 and APA125 showed quite rough and irregular shapes, and the zirconia surface of the ZA was observed small irregular porosity and rough surfaces. Conclusion APA and ZrO 2 slurry were enhanced the surface roughness of zirconia, and Panavia F 2.0 containing MDP showed the highest shear bond strength with zirconia.

The omentum is unique in that it is the body tissue developed for the resolution of local inflammatory processes because of combination of its blood supply and abundant lymphatic drainage. Thus, the use of omentum is well established for the more complex reconstruction of the urinary tract. We managed 3 cases of multiple severe renal injury using omentum and results were favorable.
