The present study has shown that immunohistochemical staining of the human placentas (5 first trimester and 20 full term placentas) for confirmation of the monocytic linease of its macrophage function. We used two macrophage associated glycoprotein; alpha-1-antichymotrypsin (A1Ac) and lysozyme (LSZ). The results from presence or absence of A1Ac & LSZ by immunohistochemical methods can be helpful to deceide the degree of differentiation of macrophage. In al the placentas examined a strong cytoplasmic reaction for A1Ac was seen in the Hofbauer cells, and the same cells of serial sections didn't stain for LSZ. The strong cytoplasmic reaction for A1Ac supports that Hofbauer cells are macrophage, but they didn't stain for LSZ, a bactericidal enzyme, we propose that these cells are not fully differentiated macrophage. The lack of LSZ may have some relevance to the pathogenesis of certain placental infections.

Spinal dysraphism, first described by Lichtenstein in 1940, is a congenital anom- aly due to incomplete fusion or malformation of the midline dorsal embryonic structures including the ectoderm, mesoderm, and neuroectoderm. Spina bifida occulta is a spinal dystraphism and a manifestation of a midline defect of osseous spine and related structures without cyst formation. Spinal dysraphism may be associated with hypertrichosis, lipoma, dimpling, pigmentation, hemangioma, congenital scar, sinus, cyst, or skin defect in the midline dorsal area. We observed a 23-year-old female patient with spina bifida occulta who had a blue scar surrounded by circumscribed hair growth of the lumbosacral area since 1-montb-old age. Histopathologic finding of the blue scar revealed common blue nevus showing intradermal melanocytes and melanophages. Spine X-ray showed hemivertebra of L5 and spina bifida occulta of Sl. There were no abnormal neurologic signs.

A case of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada's Sindrome chiefly affected the anterior uvea has been clinically studied with several references. It was a typical one with hearing disturbances and was complicated with a secondary glaucoma. Following the iridectomy the I.O.P. was back to normal limit and with steroid therapy the inflammatory signs were relieved. After a considerabie period the anterior uveitis recurred. In this case the age of the patient was 10 years older than those Parker presented.

We studied 105 patients with trasmural myocardial infarction who were admitted to Soonchunhyang university hospital from 1984-1988, and evaluated the clinical and coronary angiographic findings accordin to the age. The following results were obtained: 1) Among 105 patients with myocardial infarction, the prevalent age were sixth and seventh decade(27.6%) and the ration of male to female was 2:1, But the raion of male to female was 5.3:1 under the 50 years of age. 2) In frequency of risk factor of coronarhy heart disease, cigarrette smoking was present in 66.7%, hypertensio in 44.8% and hypercholesterolemia in 28.6%. The mean number of risk factor was 1.3 under the 50 years of age and was 1.7 over the 50 years of age. 3) Anterior myocardial infarction was most common under 50 years of age whereas anterior and inferior myocardial infarction occur similarly over the 50 years of age. 4) By coronary angiography, one vessel disease of stenosis of left anterior descending coronary artery was common findings under 50 years of age, but multivessel disease was common findings over the 50 years of age.

OBJECTIVES: Delirium is a disorder defined as a sudden disturbance in thinking, speaking, acting and sleep pattern due to altered level of consciousness and cognitive function. The objective of this study is to analyze characteristics and therapeutic methods of the delirious patients during the recent 5 years, and provide basic data for further studies and investigation regarding delirium in the occurrence and treatment. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed medical records of 475 patients who were consulted for delirium in Kyunghee University Medical Center from January 2007 to December 2011. RESULTS: During the 5 years, among the 475 patients who were diagnosed as delirium, men were more common(61.7%). The most commonly consulted reason and cause were sleep disturbance(80.8%) and post-operational delirium(30.9%), respectively. The medication prescription percentage was 76.6% and was significantly increased year after year. Ratio of using antipsychotics were 76.4% among prescribed medication and the most frequently prescribed antipsychotic drug was quetiapine(46.8%). Other specialists commonly misdiagnosed delirium when the patient was previously diagnosed as dementia(6.8%). CONCLUSIONS: In our study, post-operational delirium was the most commonly referred reason and the percentage of medication prescription tended to increase. Patients with history of dementia were more easily misdiagnosed as diseases other than delirium. Our study suggests that we should evaluate symptoms, causes, reasons of consultation, management tendency of delirium. We should also closely observe changes in sleep patterns and establish the prevention strategies for post-operational delirium and therapeutic bases for pharmacotherapy.
