Although the results of foldable intraocular lens are generally excellent, there are several complications. After cataract surgery with silicone lens, the patients with vitreoretinal surgery using silicone oil have not only visual acuity decrease, but also visual abberations such as halos and rainbow patterns. To report a newly defined complication, we studied the silicone lens-silicone oil interaction. The nonimplanted ilicone, acryl and PMMA lens, ten cases each, had been incubated in silicon oil at 36C for 9 months. After removal from the oil, each lens was examined and photograp hed by scanning electron microscopy every week. Appearance of lens surface and degree of adherence of the silicone oil to each IOL`s optic were estimated. Oily residue on the PMMA and acryl lens was removed easily and shown clear surface. In case of silicone lens, presence of distinct film or coating of oil was shown on the surface of both the optic and haptic component of IOL`s. They could not be removed with mechanical pressure with injected balanced saline solution and the oily residue remained strongly adherent to the optic surface. After 9 weeks, gelly-like adherence was appe ared on the silicone lens surface. As a result, the use of silicone IOL`s in patients with current vitreoretinal disease or those who are at high risk for future vitreoretinal disease that may require silicone oil as part of the therapy should be reconsidered.

A 35 year old woman, gravid 5, multiparous, was admitted to our department at 6 weeks and 5 days of gestation after being diagnosed with cervical pregnancy. Before the evacuation, the uterine arteries were embolized using angiographic techniques. As a result, dilatation and curettage were performed with minimal hemorrhage. We report one case of cervical pregnancy managed, successfully with preoperative uterine artery embolization and evacuation.

PURPOSE: To analyze the effects of soft contact lenses on central corneal thickness and morphologic characteristics of the corneal endothelium in diabetic patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ultrasound pachymetry and noncontact specular microscopy were performed on 26 diabetic patients who regularly use soft contact lenses (group 1), 27 diabetic patients who do not use soft contact lenses (group 2) and 30 normal subjects (group 3). We compared the values in each group using the Mann-Whitney test. RESULTS: The central cornea was found to be thicker in diabetic patients, both those who use and do not use contact lenses, than in the normal control group. The central corneal thickness was significantly higher in group 1 (564.73 +/- 35.41 microm) and group 2 (555.76 +/- 45.96 microm) than in the control group (534.05 +/- 27.02 microm), but there was no statistically significant difference between groups 1 and 2. Endothelial cell density was significantly different between the groups, and was smallest in the group of diabetic patients using contact lenses. The coefficient of variation of cell size was significantly higher and the percentage of hexagonal cells was significantly lower in contact lens using diabetic patients than in non-contact lens using diabetic patients and in the control group. CONCLUSION: Central corneal thickness and endothelial cell density is more affected by diabetes mellitus, and corneal endothelial cell morphology is more affected by contact lens use, when compared with normal subjects.

BACKGROUND: Syncope is both one of the most common and one of the most challenging problems seen in medical practice. In spite of intensive medical evaluation, the cause of syncope remains unknown in a significant number of patients. In recent years, head-up tilt test has been of increasing interest as a diagnostic aids in patients with unexplained syncope. This study investigated the clinical utility of this technique in te evaluation of patients with vasovagal syncope. METHODS: Seven patients with unexplained syncope were evaluated with a 60 degree or 80 degree head-up tilt test with or without intravenous infusion of isoproterenol(1-4ug/min) in an attempt to provoke bradycardia, hypotension or both. There were 4 males and 3 females with a mean age of 35+/-8 years. RESULTS: 1) During head-up tilt test, vasovagal responses were provoked in 5 of 7 patients(71.4%) with syncope of unknown origin. During the test, there was no complication associated with the test. 2) During tilt-induced vasovagal reponse, mean systolic blood pressure decreased to 84+/-12mmHg from supine control of 125+/-21mmHg(p<0.01) and mean diastolic blood pressure decreased to 50+/-17mmHG from supine control of 76+/-14mmHg(p<0.01). 3) Five patients with positive results of the tests were followed up for 12months and they had a good outcome free of recurrence. CONCLUSION: Head-up tilt test appeared safely applicable test in patients with suspected vasovagal syncope and good prognosis was expected in the patients.

6.Dacryocystorhinostomy with Intraoperative Mitomycin C.
Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 1998;39(9):1909-1914
Nowadays endscopic transnasal dacryocystorhinostomy(DCR) has been done popularly in patients who had epiphora chronically because of lacrimal obstruction. The most frequent cause of DCR failure is obstruction of osteotomy site due to formation of granuloma. We used the mitomycin C to suppress proliferation of fibroblast to increase success rate. Between July 1996 and september 1997, 15 patients(16 eyes) who had visited ophthalmology department in Seoul Advantist Hospital made went endoscopic transnasal DCR and packed merocel socked with 0.2mg/ml between 3 months to 18 months(mean 11.5 months). One case showed recurrent epiphora 2 months after surgery, and success rate was 94%. In conclusion, endoscopic transnasal DCR with Mitomycin C should be considered to suppress proliferation of granuloma and increase success rate.

PURPOSE: This study was conducted to analyze industrial workers' stresses from physical symptoms, PWI, JCQ and tasks in classification of Sasang constitutions. METHOD: Data were collected from industrial workers in J Province from May 2003 to June 2003. Questionnaires were distributed and collected on the day of their physical examination. Collected data were analysed through chi2-test. RESULT: Health-related characteristics showed that most of smokers and drinkers were Taeumins and this result was statistically significant. Physical symptoms related to constitutions indicated that GI and neurologic symptoms are significantly more frequent in Soeumin. The percentage of subjects with moderate risk was high in order of Soyangin, Taeumin and Soeumin while the percentage of subjects with high risk was high in order of Soeumin, Taeumin and Soyangin. CONCLUSION: Through this study, Lee Jae Ma's theory was be confirmed compatible with disease characteristics. However, research with more various subjects and variables needs to be made.
