To Know the quantitative relation between the visual field defects and the disc cupping in glaucoma, 14 patients(26 eyes) with primary open angle glaucoma were studied. Visual field defects was measured with semi-automated Autofield-D perimeter. Optic disc was photograped with Canon CF-60Z wide angle camera and neuroretinal rim area was analyzed by using microcomputer (VAX-11/750) digitizer system. The following results were obtained: 1. Neuroretinal rim area on the nasal side was larger than that on the temporal side(p<0.05). There were no significance between superior and inferior side. 2. In the case of visual field defects, nasal side was larger than temporal side.(p<0.05). There was no significance between superior and inferior side. 3. The correlation between neuroretinal rim area and visual field area was significant in the mild visual field defects detected by using 2.9 filter and the moderate and marked field defects detected with either 2.4 or clear filter. 4. The correlation between neuroretinal rim area and visual field area(r=0.696) was higher than that between cup-disc ratio and visual field defects(r=0.568).

A case of eosinophilic granuloma in 38-year-old male was reported. The patient was admitted with chief complaints of pain on the left thigh, tenderness and limping associated with localized swelling on upper 1/3 of left thigh. The diagnosis was confirmed by radiological evidence and biopsy findings. This case was healed completely by curettage. The review of literature was made briefly.

COVID-19 has spread worldwide. People are struggling to adjust to a new normal, but changes in their daily routines are also causing stress. A person may feel depressed, uneasy, or suicidal and may complain of symptoms such as panic attacks, post-traumatic stress disease (PTSD), psychosis, obsessive–compulsive disorder, or paranoia when personal resilience cannot effectively process the stress. Children, adolescents, and health care workers are especially psychologically vulnerable groups in the pandemic calamity situation; therefore, a long-term intervention plan is necessary for them. When intervening with children and adolescents, it should be considered that each individual has different ways of expressing stress according to the developmental level of cognition, language, and emotion, and taking into account these developmental levels, it is necessary to help them achieve developmental tasks appropriate for their age. Health care workers feel psychological pain from problems such as the risk of becoming infected, the risk of passing the virus to their families, overwork, isolation, and stigma. Therefore, it is necessary to help them recover themselves by supplying personal protective equipment and providing the most basic resources necessary for adequate rest, work-life balance, and childcare.

Recently, cell cycle regulators have been suggested as new prognostic factors of the lung cancer. In this study, we evaluated the expression of cyclin D1, p21, and p53 using the X2-test, with regard to the stage of the patients, histologic type, and histologic differentiation in the 135 cases of non-small cell lung carcinomas (NSCLC). To evaluate the confounding effects among cyclin D1, p21, and p53 on X2-test analysis, we used the Mantel-Haenzel test. The NSCLC in this study included 82 cases of squamous cell carcinoma and 53 cases of adenocarcinoma. Each nuclear staining of cyclin D1, p21, and p53 was observed in 65 cases (48.1%), in 54 cases (40.0%), and in 81 cases (60.0%) of NSCLCs, respectively. Only p53 expression was significantly associated with the stage (stage I, II, IIIa) (p<0.05) and squamous cell carcinoma (p<0.05). On the other hand, cyclin D1 expression was significantly associated with the histologic differentiation. The confounding effects among cyclin D1, p21, and p53 revealed that only p21 expression changed the relationship between p53 and stage. In this regard, further study is needed.

BACKGROUND: Laser resurfacing has beneficial effects in the treatment of several skin problems such as acne and chicken pox scars. Recently pulsed erbium YAG laser has been used for skin resurfacing, but not enough is known about the scientific basis of such treatment. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to assess the macroscopic and microscopie changes after irradiation with the pulsed Er-YAG laser. METHODS: We did two tests on guinea pig skin, First, the laser was used to irradiate the skin of a guinea pig with the intensity of 500 mJ, 5 watt until pinpoint bleeding began. Skin biopsies were performed immediately, one, two and four weeks after the irradiation. Second, the laser was used to irradiate the skin of a guinea pig with the intensity of 300mJ(3watt), 500mJ(5watt), 700mJ(7watt) until pinpoint bleeding began, Skin biopsies were examined immediately, one, two and four weeks after the irradiation. RESULTS: 1. Histological changes to the dermis over time after laser irradiation with 500 mJ, 5 watt are as follows: After one week, complete reepithelization and proliferation of the blood vessels within the dermis occured. A reaction of th dermis which consisted of newly formed collagen and was distinguisbed from the lower dermis was also examined. The reaction was rnost active after two weeks and lasted up to four weeks. 2. Histological changes to the dermis over time after laser irradiations with different intensities of 300 mJ(3watt), 500 mJ(5watt), and 700 mJ(7watt) are as follows : In all the cases of laser irradiation with different intensities, edema, neovascularization and fine collagen fiber in the upper dermis were observed. At higher intensities, the dermal reactions were stronger and were sustained for a longer time. CONCLUSION: Pulsed erbium YAG laser had effects on the epidermis and dermis. Therefore, pulsed erbium YAG laser can be used for skin resurfacing effectively and safely.
