90 cases of pregnancy termination by vaccum at the 6th –12th week of gestation, using misoprostol vaginal insertion with cervix prepared 3 hours before this operation were performed at the Central Hospital of Gynecology and Obstetrics from December 2003 to February 2004. The subjects had received intravaginal 400mg Misoprostol 3h befor the vacuum aspiration of the fetus. Results showed the success rate of 96.67%, the mean dilatation of cervix reached 8.1  0.92mm.

The ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is one of the notorious complications of assisted reproduction procedure. Severe and moderate OHSS associated with a spontaneous pregnancy is rare. We experienced a case of two normal, spontaneously conceived pregnancies with OHSS and her past obstetric history included prior spontaneous OHSS in the first trimester and term vaginal delivery of normal baby.

This study was carried out to provide the basic data for the choice of evaluation method in the evaluation of academic record in medical college. For this, one university academic records were analyzed in which the method of evaluation was changed from the norm-referenced evaluation to the criterion-referenced evaluation since the first trimester in 1989 and the results of two methods were compared with. The results were as follows ; in the major of medicine, there is no difference in the academic record of the most subjects according to the evaluation methods, but in a few subjects, the record was underestimated in the criterion-referenced evaluation. In the major of nursing, all subjects of both major and essential subjects were overestimated strikingly in the criterion-referenced evaluation. In the other majors, the subjects for general education were also overestimated markedly in the criterion-referenced evaluation and the proportion to the grade of record were very different by the professors.

Uterine cervical prolapse concurrent with pregnancy is a rare situation. Large variety of management options for pregnancy, labor, and delivery to this situation had been reported. We have experienced one case of third-degree cervical prolapse combined with pregnancy. This woman visited our hospital in the late first trimester. We had managed the patient successfully with a vaginal pessary to maintain cervical placement. hereby, We report this case with a brief review.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate whether the day of delivery for women with regular menstrual history was predicted best from the last menstrual period (LMP), crown rump length (CRL) and or biparietal diameter (BPD). METHODS: All of 561 women had estimated the day of delivery by LMP, CRL in the first trimester (In case of 217 women, it was available) and BPD in the second trimester. The accuracy of each method in predicting the day of delivery was determined. Those who were delivered after the spontaneous onset of labor were included. Differences among these methods were evaluated with nonparametric tests. RESULTS: The percentage of women who delivered within 3 days of the estimated day of delivery was 254(45.3%) and 216(38.5%) of the women with pregnancies by BPD and LMP, respectively. And within 7days of the estimated day were 408(72.7%), 390(69.5%) of the women from BPD and the LMP. In the women, the BPD estimate was significantly better predictor within the 7days of the day of delivery than LMP estimate (p=0.027). Compared to LMP estimate, CRL and BPD estimates seemed to be advanced the day of delivery about 2.6 days in CRL, and 0.9 days in BPD (p=0.004, p=0.034). But we could not find any advantage of the CRL measurement in first trimester than single BPD measurement in the second trimester for the predictor of the day of delivery. CONCLUSIONS: When the difference between the methods in predicting the day of delivery was less than 7 days, the BPD measurement was better than the last menstrual period.
