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.

Central neurogenic hyperventilation (CNH) is a rare condition that characterized by an increase in the rate and depth of respiration to an extent that produces advanced respiratory alkalosis due to various central nervous disorder. The mechanism of CNH remains unclear. We reported a case of CNH in patients with progressive ischemic stroke in pons, including parabrachial nucleus, which is thought to have disrupted inhibitory impulses to the medullary respiratory center.

This study was performed to evaluate the changes of tear film and ocular surface caused by smoking. Symptom scoring, tear film break-up time (BUT), basal tear secretion test, corneal sensitivity test, keratoepitheliopathy scoring, and conjunctival impression cytology were performed in 29 smokers (58 eyes) and 26 non-smokers (52 eyes). Tear film BUT, basal tear secretion, corneal sensitivity, and squamous metaplasia were 7.71 +/- 2.66 sec, 6.29 +/- 2.85 mm, 53.69 +/- 5.69 mm, and 2.45 +/- 1.26 in smokers and 9.62 +/- 3.14 sec, 10.04 +/- 3.87 mm, 56.46 +/- 4.79 mm, and 1.12 +/- 0.83 in non-smokers, respectively (p< 0.05). Symptom score, keratoepitheliopathy score, and goblet cell density were not significantly different between the two groups. Tear film BUT was shorter, basal tear secretion and corneal sensitivity were lower, and squamous metaplasia was higher in heavy smokers than in light smokers. In conclusion, smoking deteriorates the tear film and ocular surface with decreased quantity and quality of tear film, decreased corneal sensitivity, and squamous metaplasia, and this deterioration is related to the amount of smoking.

In acute stroke, emboli are mostly composed of thrombi from artery, cardiac chamber, valve and vein. Non-thrombotic emboli are sometimes difficult to identify the origin. According to the increased number of cancer patients, now 10% of stroke patients have a cancer. However, the potential mechanisms of stroke in patients with cancer are various. We presented a case of serious acute arterial occlusion with a tumor embolus, which was revealed by histopathologic analysis of retrieved emboli during mechanical thrombectomy.
