Adenomyotic cysts are not uncommon disease, but their sizes are mostly lesser 5 mm. Reports of large adenomyotic cyst ( >5 mm ) are vere rary. These large sized hemorrhagic cysts arise from small sized cyst and may be caused by progressive expansion of cyst due to progressive menstrual bleeding. And the active secreting of cystic wall may play a part in making the large cyst. Authors observed a case of large adenomyotic cyst within myometrium occuring in o 39-year-old woman, and she was accompanied with both ovarian endometriomas. The cyst was 3 *3 cm sized, and had chocolate-colored thick viscous contents. Histologically, cystic wall was lined with endometrial type epithelium. Epithelium were composed of single layer columnar, partly ciliated cells. Stroma under glandular epithelium were thin throughout the cyst and resembled morphologically endometrial stroma in endometriosis and had red cells and hemosiderin-laden macrophages in places. We experienced one case of large adenomyotic cyst, so we report the case with a brief review of the concerned literatures.

Forty-five elderly female osteoporotics were given daily dose of 750 mg of calcium and 1.0 microgram of activated vitamin D (1-a hydroxyvitamin D) orally for 24 months to evaluated the effect of drugs on bone mineral density. Bone mineral density was evaluated and repeated every 6 months for 2 years. Average bone mineral density (L (2)-L (4)) and T score were 0.773 (SD 0.120) and -2.90 (SD 0.97) before treatment, and increased to 0.808 (SD 0.121) and -2.59 (SD 0.97) after 24 months of therapy, respectively (p<0.01). During treatment, complications including hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria, or renal stone were not observed, and indicators of renal function were normal. Therefore the activated vitamin D treatment in osteoporosis is effective in diminishing normal decline of bone mineral density, especially in areas with low calcium and vitamin D intake, such as South Korea.

The authors have studied on the effect of digital pressure on eyeball under the surface anesthesia instead of other reducing agents of intraocular pressure and retrobulbar anesthesia in order to lower the intraocular pressure as a preoperative procedure of cataract extraction in 26 eyeballs of 24 patients and following results were obtained: 1. The authors had intraocular pressure lowered till averaging 10.8 mmHg (average 13.5 ~ 8.0 mmHg) of original pressure by ocular massage. 2. Massage on eyeball was thought to be a satisfactory preoperative procedure to perform cataract extractIon. 3. In operative complications, loss of vitreous and rupture of capsule were noticed 11.5% and 60% respectively. and it was thought to be caused by technical failure in surgeons. In view of this fact we could not find that the loss of vitreous was caused by intraocular pressure below 13.5 mmHg.

The early ultrastructural changes of basement membrane thickening and degeneration of the pericyte were noted in retinal capillaries in diabetic patients. However no early ultrastructural changes were reported in diabetic iris capillary. The authors studied the ultrastructural features of basement membrane of iris capillaries which were obtained during cataract surgery in five diabetic patients and compared with those obtained in five nondiabetic patients. The endothelium basal lamina, pericyte basal lamina and membrane-like pericyte matrix in didabetic iris capillaries were thicker than those in nondiabetic Iris capillaries. The thickening of pericyte basal lamina is more prominant than the endothelium basal lamina in diabetes. The duration of diabetes had no relationship to endothelium basal lamina but, showed statistically significant relationship to thickness of pericyte bascal lamina and pericyte matrix.
