Mullerian Mucinous papillary Cyatadenernas of Borderline tumor(MMBT) is lined by mucinous epithelium of endocervical type and is characterized by papillae architecturally similer to those of serous horderline tumors, It has been described rarely in the literature, Thia case was reported with a brief review of the concerened literatures. It has important clinical and pathological diBerences from mucinous birderline tumors with intestinal differentiation, but has many similatities to mixed epithelial borderline tumora of Mulierian type. Recently, a case of MMBT in a 22 years old woman was experienced at our department. We presented this case with a brief review of literature.

Carcinoma of the uterine cervix is the most common malignant tumor in Korean women. It is well known that carcinogenesis is a multi-step event involoving the inactivation of tumor supressor genes, such as p53 gene and RB gene. The inactivation of the normal functions of the tumor-suppressor proteins pRB and p53 are important steps in human cervical carcinogenesis, either by mutation or from complex formation with the HPV E6 and E7 oncoproteins. The pRB protein regulates early cell cyle progression by controlling transit through the G1 phase of the cell cyle. The p53 tumor suppressor gene product also plays a role in cell cycle control by the transcriptional regulation of cyclin-CDK inhibitor. Cervical carcinoma is an excellent model for studying the stepwise progression of cell transformation because this is reflected morphologically by the increasing dysplasia of the squamous cells before it becomes and invasive squamous cell carcinoma. The aim of this study was to examine the expression of pRB and compared that with overexpression of p53 in a series of cervical lesions including normal tissuess, dysplasias, carcinoma in situ and carcinomas by immunohistochemical staining with monoclonal antibody to elucidate the role of these tumor suppressor genes. The result were as follows: 1. In normal cervical mucosa and CIN I , a few positively stained cells for pRB were seen in basal and parabasal layer. 2. An abnormality of pRB, loss of expression was seen in 23.8% of CIN III and in 10.8% of invasive carcinoma. 3. Overexpression of p53 was demonstrated in 14.3% of CIN III and in 59.5% of invasive carcinoma. 4. The immunoreactivity of p53 was significantly increased (p<0.05) in stage II, III than stage I , whereas downregulation of pRB and tumor stage was not correlated. 5. The immunoreactivity of p53 was significantly increased (p<0.05) in squamous cell carcinoma than in adenocarcinoma, adenosquamous carcinoma and CIN III. These result suggest that an alteration of pRB is more frequently implicated in CIN III than invasive carcinoma, whereas overexpression of p53 may be involevd in late progression of uterine cervical carcinoma.

Galeazzis frature has been described as a fracture of the radius complicated by a dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint. This fracture, with angulation of the distal radius and dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint, shows the tendency to redisplacement after reduction due to a variety of factors including the brachioradialis muscle, the pronator quadratus muscle and the thumb abductors and extensors. Because of these factors, this fracture may rarely be treated by manipulation and plaster immobilization alone. The treatment of choice for Galeazzis fracture is open reduction and internal fixation. The author reviewed the cases of 28 patients with Galeazzis fracture who had been treated at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Yonsei University Wonju College of Medicie from January 1978 to December 1986. This study emphasized the nature of the injury, the level of the radial fracture, treatment and results. The results were as follows ; 1. The subjects included 2 children and 26 adults. Males were affected more frequently than females, and the sex ratio was 6: 1 2. The causes of injury included car accidents in ten cases(36%), falls in eight cases(29%), injuries from machinery in five cases(18%), direct blows in four cases(14%) and explosion in one case(3%). 3. The fracture occured most often at the junction of the middle and distal thirds of the radial shaft in thirteen cases(47%), and less often in the middle third of the radial shat, eitht cases(29%). Infrequent sites of fracture included the junction of the proximal and middle thirds in four cases(14%), the distal third in two cases(7%) and the proximal third of the radius in one case(3%). 4. Twenty-two cases(78%) experienced fracture composed of only two fragmented, but six cases(22%) were multifragment fractures. The frature was oblique and in one case, spiral. In twenty-two cases, the fractures were closed and in six cases, open. Three cases of open fractures had grade III soft tissue injuries. 5. Roentgenograpghic diagnosis of the distal radioulnar joint disruption was possible in 82% of the cases. 6. Associated injuries were noted in 57% of the cases including six cases of head injuries, four cases of head injuries, two cases of injury to the lower extremities, two cases of spinal injury, one cases of a fractured humerus. 7. Conservative treatment was given in five cases and operative treatment twenty-two cases. Conservative treatment gave excellent results in one case, fair results in two cases, while operative treatment resulted in an excellent outcome in thirteen cases, a fair outcome in eight cases and poor in one case. 8. Six cases experienced complications including delayed union in two cases, subluxation of the distal radioulnar joint in two cases, ahgulation in one case and infection in one case.

BACKGROUND: Pustular eruptions due to drugs are uncommonly reported. We studied the characteristics of clinical and histopathologic findings of pustular drug eruption. OBJECTIVE: We observed th.e causative agents, clinical featurs and histopathologic findings of pustular drug eruption and identified differential points of generlized pustular eruption. METHODS: We evaluated t,he clinical and histopathologic findings of 8 patients with pustular drug eruption and reviewed the literatures reported cases of pustular drug eruption. RESULTS: All patients diagnosed pustular drug eruption suffered from generalized pustular eruption associated with systemic symptoms such as fever, headachened myagia one to three days after treatment with causative agents. The causative agents of putular drug eruption are antibiotics such as ceftriaxone, analgesics and antipyretics. The pustule resolved after a few days of treatment with systemic corticosteroids and antihistamines. Laboratory findings revealed leukocytosis, neutrophilia, and analevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, On histopatologic findings, we observed subcorneal pustuls containing neutrophils, eosinophils and some lymphocytes and spongiosis, exocytosis of acute iiflammatory cells. Perivascular infiltration of lymphocyte ancl edema of papillary dermis was also bserved in the dermis. CONCLUSION: Pustular drug eruption is characterized by generalized pustular eruption associated with systemic symptoms and histopathologic findings of that are sterile subcorneal pustules. Therefore differential diagnosis of other generalized pustular erupticns are relatively easy by careful history of medication, clinical and histopathologic findings.
