Leiomyoma is one of the rarest solid tumor of the ovary. Approximately 50 cases have been published to date. However, most reported leiomyoma of the ovaries were small and rarely induced serious symptoms. We report a case of ovarian leiomyoma in 57-year-old woman which has been experienced in our haspital with brief review of literature.

Cyclosporine can cause remission of 60% in steroid resistant FSGS, but its responses are variable. Now we report two cases of steroid resistant FSGS who are maintaining remission using cyclosporine continuous therapy. The first patient had been failed several times of steroid therapy, had edema, azotemia and severe proteinuria. We used steroid pulse therapy then maintenance dose of oral cyclosporine to reduce proteinuria for more than 6 years. He has been received cyclosporine therapy up to now and maintaining normal renal function. The second patient had severe azotemia who needed hemodialysis but after cyclosporine therapy, he recovered his renal funciton. The findings of renal biopsies in one patient after 6 years of cyclosporine therapy revealed that there was no improvement of sclerosing glomeruli, then we guess that maintenance therapy of cyclosporine might need for lifelong period.

Bond strength of luting cements to dentin is a critical consideration for success of complete cast crowns. This study was performed to evaluate the relationship between surface characteristics of teeth prepared for complete cast crowns and retention of cemented restorations. Eighty artificial crowns were cast for standardized complete crown tooth preparations accomplished with the use of a special device on recently extracted human teeth. Coarse diamond(#102R, Shofu) and superfine finishing diamond(#SF102R, Shofu) burs of similar shape were used. Crowns in each group were randomly subdivided into four subgroups of 10 for luting cements selected for this study: zinc phosphate cement (FLECK'S), polycarboxylate cement (Poly-F), reinforced glass ionomer cement (Fuji PLUS), and adhesive resin cement (Panavia 21). Retention was evaluated by measuring the tensile load required to dislodge the artificial crown from tooth preparations with an Instron testing machine, and analysed by one-way ANOVA and Student's t-test. The obtained results were as follows ; 1. When tooth preparation was done with coarse diamond bur, retentive force was diminished in order of Panavia 21, Fuji PLUS, FLECK'S, and Poly-F. Retentive forces showed the significant difference between Fuji PLUS group and FLECK'S group(p<0.001). 2. When tooth preparation was done with superfine diamond bur, retentive force was diminished in order of Fuji PLUS, Panavia 21, FLECK'S and Poly-F. Retentive forces showed the significant difference between Panavia 21 group and FLECK'S group(p<0.001). 3. Retentive force in coarse tooth surfaces was significantly higher than that in superfine tooth surface with all luting cements(p<0.001), and cement residues were almost retained with in the cast crown in all groups.

BACKGROUND: The HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor is the most powerful cholesterol lowering drug and lovastatin, simvastatin and pravastatin are used clinically. We studied the efficacy and side effects of pravastatin monotherapy in patients with hypercholesterolemia(type IIa or IIb). METHODS: Patients who showed 12-hours fasting serum total cholesterol level more than 240mg% were enrolled to diet therapy. After 4weeks of diet therapy, serum lipid profiles were checked and the drug therapy was considered according to NCEP guidelines. The pravastatin 5mg po bid was administrated and the patients had regular follow-up every 2weeks for 8week. RESULTS: The total study population was 20 patients and the mean age of them was 55 years old (55+/-18, M : F=6 : 14). There were a few side effects in 5% of study patients and no patient discontinued pravastatin due to side effects.The side effect was G-I trouble and there were not other side effects. Serum CK was elevated in only one patient but the elevation was mild(less than 3 times) and transient. The LFT, serum uric acid, BUN and creatinine level did not show any significant changes during therapy. Among lipid profiles, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and apolipoprotein B level showed significant reduction after therapy and the maximum reduction was achieved after 2week of therapy. The mean reduction was 20%, 33% and 23% respectively. HDL-cholesterol and apolipoprotein A1 11% and 17% respectively. The triglyceride level did not show any changes during therapy but in one type IIb patient, the triglyceride level decreased significantly. CONCLUSIONS: The pravastatin is effective and safe in patients with hypercholesterolemia.
