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.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of 2-[fluorine-18] fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (F-18-FDG) whole body scan (FDG W/B Scan) using dual-head gamma camera equipped with ultra high energy collimator in patients with various cancers, and compare the RESULTS with those of coincidence imaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Phantom studies of planar imaging with ultra high energy and coincidence tomography (FDG CoDe PET) were performed. Fourteen patients with known or suspected maligancy were examined. F-18-FDG whole body scan was performed using dual-head gamma camera with high energy (511 keV) collimators and regional FDG CoDe PET immediately followed it. Radiological, clinical follow up and histologic RESULTS were correlated with F-18-FDG finding. RESULTS: Planar phantom study showed 13.1 mm spatial resolution at 10 cm with a sensitivity of 2638 cpm/MBq/ml. In coincidence PET, spatial resolution was 7.49 mm and sensitivity was 5351 cpm/MBq/ml. Eight out of 14 patients showed hypermetabolic sites in primary or metastatic tumors in FDG CoDe PET. The lesions showing no hypermetabolic uptake of FDG in both methods were all less than 1 cm except one lesion of 2 cm sized metastatic lymph node. The metastatic lymph nodes of positive FDG uptake were more than 1.5 cm in size or conglomerated lesions of lymph nodes less than 1 cm in size. FDG W/B scan showed similar RESULTS but had additional false positive and false negative cases. FDG W/B scan not visualize liver metastasis in one case that showed multiple metastatic sites in FDG CoDe PET. CONCLUSION:S: FDG W/B scan with specially designed collimators depicted some cancers and their metastatic sites, although it had a limitation in image quality compared to that of FDG CoDe PET. This study suggests that F-18-FDG positron imaging using dual-head gamma camera is feasible in oncology and helpful if it should be more available by regional distribution of FDG.
