This study was made to investigate the effect of adenoidectomy on dentofacial skeleton in naso-respiratory dysfunction children. The clinical material compromised the 24 children in a previous study who had naso-respiratory dysfunction and 24 children who were the nasal breathing with normal occlusion. The cephalograms were taken at the initial examination and 1 year later for the control group and experimental group the paired sample statistical analysis was performed. The results were as follows. 1. In cranial base variable, difference between two groups were not statistically significant. 2. In craniofacial variables, experimental group showed brachyfacial pattern but control groups didn't show significant growth pattern. 3. In maxillary variables, experimental group showed flattening the plane. 4. In mandibular variables, experimental group showed the decrease of mandibular plane angle and gonial angle. 5. In facial height variables, experimental group showed horizontal growth rotation.

The management of LcP disease is dependent on the prognosis yet. This may be difficult to predict for the individual child, particularly at the onset of the disease when radiological sign may be minimal. But some form of conservative treatment is generally commenced before the prognosis become apparent. The purpose of this study was to determine the validity of Catterall's grouping and value of other radiological and clinical factors in predictiong prognisis and also the correlation between the clinical and radiological results at the conclusion of the pathological precess in LCP disease. Between the clinical and radiological results at the conclusion of the pathological process in LCP disease. Between June 1986 and July 1995, 64 childrens with LCP disease were tearted in Kyungpook University Hospital, 44 hips of 40 childrens who had adequate clinical and radiological data were reviewed. The average follow-up period was 5.4 years. The results obtained were followings: 1.The mean age at first visit or diagnosis was 6.7 years. 2. Of 40 childrens, 4 childrens had bilateral involvement. Boys were more predominat. 3. The degree of uncovering of femoral head and medial joint space at the presentation seemed to be prognostic factor for the end results. 4. Catterall & lateral pillar classification seemed to be difficult at presentation of the disease but also an important guide to determine the prognosis.

Malignant mixed miillerian tumor (MMMT) was one of the rare uterine sarcoma. This tumor is composed of sarcoma and carcinoma. Primary MMMT in the peritoneum is among the rarest sites for MMMT. MMMT is highly malignant and the prognosis is grave due to frequent recurrence and metastasis. In the world literature, only 22 cases with primary MMMT of the peritoneum have been reported and most of these were single report. We report one case of primary MMMT in the peritoneum with a brief review.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics or the potassium channels existing in the rat urinary bladders. Smooth muscle strips of rat detrusor urinae were examined by isometric myography. Relaxation responses of detrusor muscle strips to the three potassium channel openers pinacidil, a cyanoguanidine derivative, BRL 38227, a benzopyran derivative and RP 52891, a tertrahydrothiopyran derivative were examined. The potassium channel openers reduced the basal tone, and the rank order of potency was RP 52891>pincidil>BRL 38227. Procaine, an inhibitor of the voltage-sensitive potassium channel tended to increase the basal tone, but it did not affect the relaxant effects of the calcium-activated potassium channel opener did not antagonize the relaxant effects, but it reduced the Emax of RP 52891 and BRL 38227. Glibenclamide, an inhibitor of the ATP-sensitive potassium channel, antagonized the relaxant effects of pinacidil, RP 52891 and BRL 38227 reducing the Emax of RP 52891 and BRl 38227. Galanin which inhibits secretion of insulin through opening the ATP-sensitive potassium channels in pancreatic β-cells rather increased the basal tone of the isolated detrusor strips. These results suggest that the urinary bladder of the rat has mainly the ATP-sensitive, glibenclamide sensitive potassium channel, which is a different type from that in the pancreatic β-islet cells.
