2.Delayed-Onset Expulsive Suprachoroidal Hemorrhage Due to a Trauma after Removal of Penetrating Keratoplasty Suture.
Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 2011;52(3):359-363
PURPOSE: To report a case of delayed-onset expulsive suprachoroidal hemorrhage due to trauma after removal of a penetrating keratoplasty suture. CASE SUMMARY: A 66-year-old man had penetrating keratoplasty for bullous keratopathy performed in his left eye. After 1 year, the continuous suture was removed for adjustment of astigmatism. Four days after removal of the suture, the patient struck his left eye with the back of his hand, although at the time of injury he had no specific symptoms. Two days later, the patient noticed abrupt pain, decreased visual acuity, and massive hemorrhage in his left eye. Examination revealed an inferior wound dehiscence of approximately 8 clock hours (2 thru 10 o'clock) with prolapsed intraocular contents such as the uvea and retina. The patient underwent cornea graft resuturing with resection of ocular contents, which could not be repositioned. Although bleeding was controlled after the operation, vision was lost in his left eye. After two months, according to decrement of intraocular hematoma, the patient had a phthisis bulbi with low intraocular pressure in his left eye. CONCLUSIONS: Persistent low intraocular pressure due to wound leakage through the graft-host junction likely resulted in delayed onset of expulsive suprachoroidal hemorrhage. The risk of traumatic corneal graft rupture after penetrating keratoplasty is significant and is associated with a poor visual outcome and eyeball viability. Therefore, patients should be cautioned. In addition, the importance of eye examination after trauma should be emphasized.

This study was undertaken to investigate the efficacy of 5% PABA cream using mouse ear swelling reaction(ESR). Mice were exposed to 100mJ/cm of UVB, five times a week for four weeks, on the both ventral aspect of the ear, with application of 5% PABA cream on the right ear. The results were as follows : 1. The intensity of ear swelling reaction of 5% PABA protected group was reduced greater than unproteeted group after the first 3 days of UUR. 2. The intensity of ear swelling reached at peak after 1 week of the ultraviolet radiation. Thereafter it has decreased gradually the following 4 weeks. The difference of ear swelling between the two groups was the greatest after 1 week, and the sunscreening efficacy of 5% PABA cream has remained persisted for 4 weeks. 3. The number of mice which have shown severe inflarnmatory response after ultravioiet radiation was more in unprotected group than that in 5% PABA protected group. 4. Determination of mouse ESR is considered a good method for the evaluation of longterm efficacy of sunscreen preparation.

10.A Case of Marchiafava-Bignami Disease with Symmetrical Lesions of the Putamen in a Patient with Chronic Alcohol Dependence.
Journal of the Korean Society of Biological Psychiatry 2009;16(2):127-132
Marchiafava-Bignami disease(MBD) is a rare complication of chronic alcoholism characterized by symmetrical demyelination of the corpus callosum. We report a case of MBD in a Korean patient having chronic alcohol dependence. The patient exhibited mental depression, weakness of all four limbs and dysarthria. Laboratory data showed mild hyponatremia. Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) revealed unusual symmetrical resolving lesions of the putamen in addition to the typically observed lesion of the corpus callosum. The neurologic disturbances were gradually improved with the normalization of low plasma sodium levels. Marked improvement of abnormal MRI findings was noted after thiamine supplement, though the patient still exhibited severe cognitive impairment.
