Rieger's syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant developmental anomaly characterized by ocular and systemic abnomalities. These disorders are typically bilateral and usually diagnosed at birth or in the childhood. The most common ocular defects are hypoplasia of the iris, a prominent Schwalbe's line with iris strands and corectopia. A large number of patients have glaucoma due to devel-opmental defects of the anterior chamber angle structure. The authors experienced a case of Rieger's syndrome which was found in 31-year-old female, who had characteristic ocular and other systemic abnormalities. Associated glaucoma was well controlled by filtering surgery.

This study was conducted to evaluate the association of job characteristics and stress indicators, from May 1st to 10th, 1996. The study population was 210 workers (clerical workers, 67; engineers, 82; assembly line workers, 61) engaged in a television manufacturing company. A questionnaire method was used to collect the data regarding to job demand, job control, behavioral type, life style and psychiatric symptoms. Clinical examination was conducted to measure blood pressure, serum cholesterol, fasting blood sugar and HbA1c. Percentage of high subjective job strain group was significantly higher in clerical workers(9.0 %) than in engineers(4.9 %) and in assembly line workers(3.3 %) (p < 0.01). Mean values of fasting blood sugar and HbA1c were significantly different between types of occupation and were the highest in clerical workers (p < 0.05). Significant association was found between perceived job characteristics and psychiatric symptom score (p < 0.01). The more job demand and the less job control was, the higher psychiatric symptom score was reported. Diastolic blood pressure was significantly related to job control (p < 0.05). The more job control was, the higher blood pressure was reported. In multiple regression analysis, job demand, job control and age were significant variables explaining the psychiatric symptoms and R2 was 0.23. Perceived job characteristics and type of occupation were not significant in explaining diastolic blood pressure and cholesterol. Type of occupation, job demand, age and BMI were significant variables explaining lasting blood sugar and R2 was 0.25. Type of occupation was the only significant variable explaining HbA1c and R2 was 0.07. According to this result, occupational type and subjective job characteristics must be considered in study of job stress. As a result of multiple analysis, subjective job characterics are significantly related to psychiatric symptoms and type of occupation is significantly related to fasting blood sugar and HbA1c.

Parathyroid hyperplasia is a pathologic finding that can be found in hyperparathyroidism. Unlike parathyroid adenoma, treatment of parathyroid hyperplasia is still quite controversial. In addition, the relative merits of two alternative surgical approaches-subtotal parathyroidectomy versus total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation have not been clearyly elucidated. The records of 10 patients who had parathyroid hyperplaisa and who underwent parathyroid surgery at the Department of Surgery, Hanyang University Hospital, between April 1992 and April 2003 were retrospectively reviewed. The 10 patients were comprised of 3 males and 7 females. The age distribution was between 29 and 73 years. The presenting clinical manifestations were associated with bone pain in 8 patients, muscle weakness in 4, headache in 4, gastrointestinal symptoms in 3, renal symptoms in 3 and psychologic symptoms in 2. The serum parathyroid hormone level was elevated in all patients. The serum alkaline phosphatase level was elevated in seven among the ten patients. Histopathologic findings revealed chief cell hyperplasia in all patients. Postoperative transient hypocalcemia occurred in 5 patients and they were supplied with oral calcium and calcitriol for several months. There were no major complications. The results indicate that a subtotal parathyroidectomy can be performed without mortality or morbidity and provides good control of primary parathyroid hyperplasia, A total prathyroidectomy with autotransplantation can be performed without mortality or morbidity and provides good contril of secondary and tertiary parathyroid hyperplaisa.

PURPOSE: In order to classify the involving patterns of maxillary sinus aspergillosis on CT that will be an important guidance for functional endoscopic sinus surgery(FESS) and to evaluate CT findings of each pattern. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We reviewed CT findings of 37 cases of maxillary sinus aspergillosis which were confirmed pathologically. These were classified into three patterns according to the location:the maxillary pattern(I), the infundibular pattern(11), and combined pattern(Ill). All cases were correlated with FESS findings. We also evaluated CT density, presence of contrast enahncement and calcifications, and surrounding bony changes of each pattern. RESULT: The combined pattern was most commonly seen in 24 of 37 cases(64.9%). The maxillary pattern was identified in 8(21.6%), with 5(13.5%)cases demonstrating the infundibular patttern. These patterns were consistent with FESS findings. Calcifications were seen in 28 cases(75.7%). 31 cases(83.8%) revealed hypodensity and 16cases among them showed peripheral enhancement. Central high density with peripheral low density rim was shown in 25%(2/8) of the maxillary pattern and 12.5%(3/24) of combined patttern. Surrounding bony changes were noted mainly in infundibular pattern and combined pattern. Erosion of uncinate process showed all cases of both patterns. Erosion or elevation of ethmomaxillary plate was seen in 3 of 5 cases of infundibular pattern and all cases of the combined pattern. CONCLUSION: CT fidnings of maxillary sinus aspergillosis can be classified into 3 patterns according to their distribution. These classification could be helpful for planning FESS approach. Calcifications are the most characteristic findings of maxillary sinus aspergllosis whereas CT density or enhancement pattern do not contribute to diagnosis.
