The study of bacteriophage began by F.W. Twort in 1915 and the lytic cycle recognized by d'Herellel in 1917. It repeated about the marine bacteriophage containing Vibrio phage by Smith, Spencer and Ju. Authors isolated 2 virulent phages for the pathogenic V. alginolyticus from marine products. These 2 phages were examined their ultrastructure & host-infection by elecron microscopy and in vivo test using skin of rats. V. alginolyticus phages(VAPs) fomed plaques about 0.5 - 0.9mm in diameter and bands 50 - 60% in sucrose density gradient. VAP had 50 - 120nm tail and 40 - 90nm head in diameter. In vivo test, using rat skin, as well as in vitro test VAP had the activity to V. alginolyticus isolated.

Malignant esophago-bronchial fistula is an incurable and distressing condition. The passage of swallowed saliva and solid or liquid food into the bronchial tree causes coqghing and frequent pulmonary infection and collapse. Most patients are unfit for major surgery, but intubation offers a quick, simple and effective treatment with improved length and quality of life. However, intubation with simple esophageal tubes are liable to result in failure to occlude the fistela, migration of the tube, erosion, and in the case of latex tubes, disintegration. To overcome these problems, the fistula is intubated perorally with a prosthesis surrounded by a foam rubber cuff contained ia silicone sheath, in which vacuum can be created. This cuffed prosthesis is the most satisfactory design for the treatment of malignant esophago-bronchial fistula with effiective and gentle occlusion of the fistula without risk of pressure necrosis. We experienced a case of the endoscopic treatment with a cuffed prosthesis for malignant esophago-bronchial fistula. So we report this case with brief review of the previous literatures.

Bone marrow transplantation has become an accepted treatment for malignancy(particulary leukemia and lymphoma), aplastic anemia, and certain inborn errors of metabolism. In addition to the problem of severe, prolonged myelosuppression, bone marrow transplantation is associated with several unusual complications. Among the complications such as GVHD, graft rejection, interstitial pneumonia and veno-occlusive disease, involvement of the gastrointestinal tract by GVHD is associated with high graft failure and mortality. Intestinal GVHD is usually manifest clinically as voluminous secretory diarrhea accompanied by abdominal cramping, ileus, nutritional depletion, and, at times, hemorrhage. We experienced a case of severe intestinal GVHD after allogeneic marrow transplantation for treatment of severe aplastic anemia. He received bone marrow from his elder sister, HLA-matched multiparous woman and suffered from large amount of watery diarrhea with skin rash 34 days after transplantation. 1n spite of prednisolone therapy the symptom was progressed. After sigmoidoscopic mucosal biopsy, intestinal GVHD was confirmed and we tried methylprednisolone pulse therapy. Skin lesion was improved but the amount of diarrhea was increased with intermittent abdominal cramping. We tried ALG(anti-lymphocyte globulin) and conservative management but the patient did not respond the therapy. He succumbed to pneumonia and acute respiratory insufficiency complicated with GVHD, 70days after transplantation.

Cutaneous metastases from internal carcinomas are relatively rare, especially from pancreatic carcinoma. Pancreatic carcinomas are usually adenocarcinomas which arise in the head of the gland, and are known to rapidly metastasize to the lymphatic system by permeation and embolization. We report a case of cutaneous metastasis from pancreatic adenocarcinoma. in 74-year-old male patient who have two pea sized, slight erythematous nodules on the lower abdomen and posterior side of the neck.

It is well known that anatomic variations affecting the ostiomeatal unit (OMU) become one of the causes of mucosal abnormalities of paranasal sinuses (PNS). Findings of coronal plane CT scans of PNS were analyzed in 95 patients with sinusitis or sinusitis-like complaints. Anatomical variations were seen in 88 cases of 60 patients. Mucosal abnormalities were seen in 27 of 47 cases with concha bullosa, 23 of 37 cases with enlarged ethmoid bulla, 8 of 33 cases with Agger nasi, 20 of 26 cases with nasoseptal deviation, 7 of 8 cases with Haller cell, 3 of 6 cases with duoble middle turbinate, 4 of 6 cases with medially bent uncinate process, 1 cases with laterally bent uncinate process, and 33 of 40 cases with mixed variations. Mucosal abnormalities in cases with antomical variations were detected in 61 cases, including maxillary sinus(51 cases), anterior ethmoid sinus (26 cases), frontal sinus (4 cases), and mixed (32 cases). Mucosal abnormalities without anatomical variations were detected in 13 cases involving maxillary sinuses (7 cases), anterior ethmoid sinuses (5 cases), and frontal sinus(1 cases). In conclusion, as coronal plane CT scan has the capability of dolineating anatomical variations and mucosal abnormalities of PNS, it is considered useful in evaluating the treatment and prognosis of chronic or recurrent sinusitis.
