Hemangiolymphangioma is a malformation of both lymphatic and blood vessels. While a hemangiolymphangioma is a benign lesion, its propensity to invade underlying tissues and to recur locally distinguishes it from the simple lymphangioma or hemangioma. Hemangiolymphangiomas are uncommon developmental anomalies and intraosseous hemangiolymphangioma of the mandible is a relatively rare condition: when it occurs, the clinical and radiographic presentation are often nonspecific. The author presents a case of hemangiolymphangioma in mandible.

BACKGROUND: Snoring is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. There has been little research done on the factors associated with snoring among adults by sex in Korea. The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of habitual snoring in the Korean population and to evaluate its related factors by sex. METHODS: The study subjects were 2,007 volunteers aged 40-69 years who participated in regular health check-ups (male: 434, female: 1,573) from May to December in 2012. Standard interviews, anthropometrics and biochemical studies were conducted. Habitual snoring was defined as snoring more than 4 days per week. RESULTS: The prevalence of snoring in our sampling pool was 52.9% (male 61.6%, female 47.1%) and habitual snoring was 13.7% (male 21.1%, female 11.5%). Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that habitual snoring was independently associated with sex, age, hypertension and body mass index (P<0.05). Fatty liver was independently associated with habitual snoring in males whereas age, waist circumference and body mass index were independently associated with habitual snoring in females. CONCLUSIONS: Snoring and habitual snoring may be predisposing factors for cardiovascular disease. There are significant associations between habitual snoring and sex, age, alcohol use, hypertension and body mass index.

Following is the result of a survey hold over a two year period(1971-1972), on the appearence and disappearence of ticks on cattle in Cheju. Number of Haemaphysalis longicornis. Larvae: From the beginning of July to mid September larvae abounded reaching their peak during July and August. In 1971 their period was from July to September. In 1972 their period was from May to October. In both years their number reached their highest point in July and August(Table 1.2) Nymph: Ticks were found from February to October(1971) and January to December (1972), and they were especially plentiful during the periods of may (1971)(Table 1.2). Adult : Ticks were in evidence from April to October(1971) and January to December(1972). They were especially plentiful during the periods of July and August(1971) and August(1972). However, in 1972 they were also quite plentiful in June and July(1972)(Table 1.2). Percentage of Haemaphysalis longicornis. 1971(Fig. 1): February-May: nymph 94.1 percent, adult female 5.9 percent ; July-August: larvae 54.8 percent, 1972(Fig. 2) : January-May: larvae 18.2 percent, nymph 18.2 percent, adult female 3.8 percent; July-August: larvae 48.2 percent, nymph 11.6 percent, adult female 40.2 percent. Number of Boophilus microplus: larvae; Ticks were in evidence from April to October(1971) and January to December(1972). They were especially plentiful during the periods of June adn July(1971) and July to August(1972). However, in 1972 they were also quite plentiful in May. Nymph: Ticks were in evidence from January to December 1971 and 1972. They were especially plentiful during the periods of June and August(1971) and May to September(1972). However, in 1972 they were also quite plentiful in October and November. Adult: Ticks were in evidence from January to December 1971 and 1972. They were especially plentiful during the periods of July to September(1971) and July (1972). However, in 1972 they were also quite plentiful in May to August. Percentage of Boophilus microplus. 1971(Fig. 3): January-May: larvae 40.3 percent, nymph 32.3 percent, adult female 27.1 percent, July-August: larvae 31.2 percent , nymph 35.7 percent, adult female 33.5 percent. 1972(Fig. 4): January-May: larvae 32.8 percent , nymph 42.1 percent, adult female 25.1 percent, July-August: larvae 44.2 percent, nymph 26.4 percent, adult female 29.4 percent.
