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.

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.

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.

PURPOSE: Decrease in intraocular pressure (IOP) during pregnancy has been reported by previous studies. There have been arguments about the use of glaucoma medications during pregnancy. This study estimated IOP changes in pregnant patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension compared with IOP changes in normal pregnant women throughout pregnancy. METHODS: Eighteen pregnant glaucoma patients on anti-glaucoma medication (10 POAG, 8 ocular hypertension) and 30 normal pregnant women were studied. Any glaucoma medication was stopped at the time of awareness of pregnancy. IOP measurements were taken 3 times per trimester, and baseline IOP was regarded as the result 2 months after delivery. The average values of each trimester were compared with baseline IOP. IOP was measured with Goldmann applanation tonometer at 9-10 o'clock in the morning. RESULTS: As compared with baseline IOP, IOP decreased by 4.8% at the first trimester, 17.8% at the second, and 16.9% at the third in the normal pregnant group, and by 2.2% 9.7%, and 29.4% respectively in the POAG or ocular hypertension group. Maximal IOP decrease was noted at 20 weeks (second trimester) in the normal pregnant group, and at 32 weeks (third trimester) in the POAG or ocular hypertension group. CONCLUSIONS: There was a difference in the time of maximal IOP decrease during pregnancy between normal pregnant women and pregnant POAG or ocular hypertension patients (second trimester in the normal group, third trimester in the POAG or ocular hypertension group). Further study with a larger number of subjects is needed to confirm this IOP change in pregnancy.
