Heterotopic panereas is pancreactie tissue occuring outside its normal anatomical location and without any connection and normal pancreas and it is a developmental anormaly. The most commen site is stomach(esp. greater curvature of the antrum), duodenum and jejunum, In majority of cases heterotopic pancreas does not produce symptoms. When it produces complications, the symptoms depend on the site of lesion and the size of mass. Pathologically, the heterotopic pancreatic tissue is subject to all the lesions found in the normally placed pancreas. Tbe smooth broad base intramural defect with central niche ie typical radiologic fiadings of heterotoPic pancreas. Gastrofiberscopy revealed a small round, submucosal projection with a central umblication. The lesions are frequently confused with polys, lymphoma, in.tramural neoplasm and gastric uleer. Accurate diagnosis may prevent needless surgical procedures. Three cases of heterotopic pancreas of stomach were reported and the pertinent literature were reviewed briefly.

3.Identification of Proteome Molecules by Proteomics Using Two-Dimensional Gel Electrophoresis and MALDI-TOF MS.
Korean Journal of Infectious Diseases 2001;33(6):470-476
Genomic technologies have enabled rapid accumulation of information from complex biological systems over the last two decades. The complete DNA sequence is now known for many organism and the informational database obtained from genome sequencing projects has provide the base for the specification of proteome-the protein complement of genome. Genomic functions can be inferred from the analysis of gene structure and gene expression profiles because proteins are the functional molecules of an organism. Integrated technologies including protein separation, identification, characterization and information manage system are essential to analyze the proteins in complex cellular matrix. This study is focusing on the strategies of proteome analysis using sample preparation, 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis, processing of protein spots and identification of proteins, protein-protein interaction and posttranslational modification using MALDI-TOF-MS. 2-Dimensional gel electrophoresis is currently the most powerful protein separation technique and MALDI-TOF MS is powerful identification technique for protein and peptides as a sensitive, rapid, and high resolution analytical method. The developed integrated proteome technologies are very useful to understand the biological phenomena at molecular level by identifying the new molecules and their modifications in various cellular processes, and can be applied for biotechnology including medical science.

The subconjuctival sparganosis is rare tissue helminthiasis which develops frequently in. orbital, abdominal, urethral, ureteral and vertebral cases. Authors reported a case of sparganosis which complained conjuntival hyperemia, chemosis, subconjuntival mass in the right eye for 10 months. The patient was a 37 years old male who had a history of having eaten raw snake in the So-Re Gun. Gyeonggi Do for the purpose of tonics 3 years ago. In the winter of 1977, he had experienced edematous changes in the right cheek intermittently. A few months later, he noticed the apperence of the congestion and a mass on the right eye. On surgical exploration, one larvae (5.8 cm in length and 5 m min width) was extracted from the right upper temporal subconjunctiva. It was actively motile in the bottle filled with saline, so this larvae was consulted to parasitology department of Korea University from our clinic under the impression of subconjunctival sparganosis. The sources of infection of some formely reported sparganosis in Korea were discussed. It is most probable that human sparganosis is acquired by consuming of raw snakes and frogs in this country.

Carcinosarcoma of the female genital tract, also called malignant mixed mullerian tumor (MMMT), is a rare and relatively aggressive tumor with various homologous and heterologous components. There have been various studies to find prognostic factors and to investigate the histogenesis, including tissue culture, electron microscopy, and immunohistochemical studies. We investigated carcinomatous, sarcomatous, and transitional areas of 6 cases of carcinosarcoma of the uterus and ovary by using epithelial and mesenchymal markers. Immunohistochemical profiles of the transitional areas were significantly different from those of carcinomatous and sarcomatous areas. Immunoreactivities for cytokeratin and epithelial membrane antigen (50% and 22.2%) were weaker than those of carcinomatous areas (95.2% and 100%), but stronger than those of sarcomatous areas (11.1% and 5.6%)(p<0.01). In transitional areas, vimentin, smooth muscle actin and S-100 protein were more strongly expressed than in carcinomatous areas, but more weakly expressed than in sarcomatous areas (p<0.01, p<0.01, and p=0.018, respectively). Myoglobin was entirely negative in carcinomatous areas and immunoreactive in minor portions of transitional and sarcomatous areas (22.2% and 16.7%, respectively). These results suggest that the transitional areas are between the carcinomatous and sarcomatous nature in differentiation, further supporting that the carcinosarcomas of the female genital tract may arise, through metaplastic change, from a type of carcinoma.

At least 90% of oligodendroglioma have developed above the tentorium, especially in the frontal lobe, but the case of oligodendroglioma arising in the 4th ventricle of the posterior fossa is extremely rare, 0.08% of the total of intracranial tumors. It was first reported by Van Bogaert in 1928. We experienced a case of 11-year-old male patient admitted by headache, nausea and visual disturbance. The operation was performed after brain CT scan, vertebral angiography and ventriculography. But the patient died on the 66th hospital day due to generalized infection unfortunately. It was histopathologically diagnosed the primary oligodendroglioma of the 4th ventricle after autopsy.

An intracerebral aneurysm usually bleeds into the subarachnoid space in addition it may also rupture into the subdural space or into the brain, and it is reported that approximately 2-8 percent of all ruptured aneurysm have an associated subdural hematoma. We had experienced 4 cases of subdural hematoma following ruptured intracerebral saccular aneurysm from 1983 to 1985. They were distal anterior cerebral artery aneurysm and middle cerebral artery aneurysm, and 2 cases of anterior communicating artery aneurysm. There were no relationship between the amount of subdural hematoma and clinical course. With a view to the clinical course, 3 cases were acute, and one was chronic.

We reported 3 cases of intestinal anisakiasis. The patients had abdominal pain, nausea or vomiting, after eating raw sea-fishes 1 to 5 days before. Intestinal resection was performed under the impression of mechanical obstruction or cancer. The resected intestines showed marked edema, congestion or hemorrhage in the mucosa. Microscopically the larvae were found in the submucosa or inner muscle layer, and surrounded by phlegmonous inflammation with intense eosinophilic infiltration. The larvae were identified as Anisakis spp. by multiple sections.

The purpose of this paper was to report a successful treatment of transluminal Nd:YAG laser embolysis (NYE) for branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) with visible emboli. Two patients with acute, severe vision loss secondary to a branch retinal artery occlusion with visible emboli in one eye underwent NYE. A complete ocular examination was performed which included biomicroscopy of the posterior pole of the retina, intraocular pressure measurement, fundus color photographs, and fluorescein angiography (FA). After the NYE, the two patients showed dramatic improvements in best-corrected visual acuity, as well as, immediate and dramatic restorations in flow past the obstructed arteriole in FA. NYE is a treatment modality to be considered in patients with BRAO who present acutely with severe vision loss and a visible embolus.
