In the previous review, the physical aspect of heavy particles, with a focus on the carbon beam was introduced. Particle beam therapy has many potential advantages for cancer treatment without increasing severe side effects in normal tissue, these kinds of radiation have different biologic characteristics and have advantages over using conventional photon beam radiation during treatment. The relative biological effectiveness (RBE) is used for many biological, clinical endpoints among different radiation types and is the only convenient way to transfer the clinical experience in radiotherapy with photons to another type of radiation therapy. However, the RBE varies dependent on the energy of the beam, the fractionation, cell types, oxygenation status, and the biological endpoint studied. Thus this review describes the concerns about RBE related to particle beam to increase interests of the Korean radiation oncologists' society.

?With the deepening study of quercetin, some studies show that quercetin can protect lens, with pharmacological activities such as antioxidation and anti-apoptosis and so on. And they can delay the occurring and developing of cataract. The development and utilization of the quercetin will be expected to be a new means of prevention and treatment of cataract. The article takes in the research progress of that quercetin on the lens with antioxidation, inhibiting aldose reductase and anti- apoptosis and its mechanisms.

A clinical study was made on 71cases of Mycoplasma Pneumoniae Pneumonia from March, 86 to February, 89. The results were as follows; 1. Among the 315 cases of pneumonia, the incidence of mycoplasma infection was 22.5% 2. The peak incidence of age was between 5 to 9years of age (53.5%) 3. The sex ratio of male to female was 1.3:1 4. Monthly distribution showed relatively high frequency from October to January (59.2%) 5. Most common clinical symptoms were cough (98.6%) and then followed by fever (49.3%), coryza (19.7%). Rales were the most common finding (95.7%) and followed by pharyngeal injection (49.3%) and wheezing (18.3%) 6. The leukocyte counts in peripheral blood were most common in the range of 5000-10000/mm³ (47.9%) and the ESR was increased in 57.7%, and positive CRP cases were 87.3% 7. The most common radiologic finding of pulmonary infiltration was interstitial infiltration (45.1%) and then followed by disseminated lobular (39.4%) and lobar pneumonia (15.5%) 8. There are a few cases associated disease or complication: otitis media (5.6%), hepatitis (4.2%) acute glomerulonephritis, bronchial asthma and sinusitis (2.8%), thrombocytopenia (1.4%)

We report a case of a photosensitivity reaction in a 76-year-old inale induced by chlorpropamide ingestion. The patient had erythematous scaly patches on the sur. -exposed areas, A phototest revealed the decreased minimal erythemal dose(MED) to UVA(5J/cm). A photopatch test and photo-scartch test with 1% chlorpropamide ointment and 0.1% chlorpropamic!e .olution were all negative. An oral provocation test was performed, which showed a positive result with marked decrease of MED to UVA (5J/cm). After the cessation of chlorpropamide, his skin lesions were improved markedly with complete loss of photosensitivity. Macular hypopigmentations (leukcme.anoderma) appeared on the previous erythematous patchy ereas, but disappeared during the follow-up period.
