While studying Bombyx mori "Zipnuae" inoculated with an entomopathogenic fungus, Paecilomyces tenuipes, a mycoparasitic hymenoascomycete with a long neck was isolated from the silkworm rearing room. The fungus was identified as Syspastospora parasitica which has been recognized as a hyperparasite on various moniliaceous hyphomycetes. A descriptive illustration is presented in this study.

We present an autopsy case of signet ring cell carcinoma of urinary bladder which underwent widespread metastsis through nearly entire organ. The patient, 45-year old male, suffered from hematuria, dysuria and flank pain for 6 months. Under the diagnosis of the signet ring cell carcinoma by the cystoscopic biopsy, radical cystectomy and ileocutaneous ureteral division were performed. But he died after 11-months after the diagnosis. The autopsy confirmed the widespread metastasis at the lung, kidney, adrenal gland, parathyroid gland, heart, stomach, ileum, spine, rib and meninges. The preveously resected urinary bladder discolosed the well defined fungating mass at the dome and anterio-lateral portion without apparent evidence of the remnant of the urachus. Histologically, the signet ring cells were predominent and focally mucinous pool floating the signet ring cells was noted. We could find several foci of the well differentiated adenocarcinoma and poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas. The above findings may reflect that the origin of carcinoma may be from the multipotential transitional cell epithelium.

Osteoblastoma is a rare benign bone tumor and is characterized hitologically by an abundant number of osteoblasts and by the presence of s large amount of osteoid tissue in a highly vascular matrix. The lesion is frequently encountered in children and adolescents with most of the cases occuring between the ages of 10 and 25 years. There is significant sex prevalence (M.: F.=2: 1). Up to now there has been few reports of a benign osteoblastoma occuring in the cervical spine. This report describes a boy of a benign osteoblastoma which involved the cervical vertebral arch and spinous process, presenting with pain and limitation of motion. He was given en-bloc resection of tumor mass and confirmed by histological examination. Postoperation result was good and he goes school without any problem in about 12 months of follow up.

Among 135 ocular injuries with Hyphema that had been treated at the St. Benedict(Sung-Bun-Do) Hospital, Pusan, Korea between the period of July 1979 to June 1982, the medical records of 47 cases of pure contusion Hyphema were collected; there were 41 male, 6 femla and 10 were ambulatory, 37 were admitted, of whom, 10 underwent surgical evacuation. The out-patients were managed with uni-ocular patches or pin-hole spectacle; and all hospitalized cases were cared by complete bedrest with binocular eye-pads until blood clot absorbed, and then discharged by wearing pin-hole-spectacle too. All cases were followed-up by every other day till the day of disappearance of chamber cellularity. The clinical results of this treatment and some points of controversy were reviewed and disc ussed.

Toxoplasma gondii, an intracellular coccidian protozoan, is the causative agent of toxoplasmosis, a widespread infection affecting various birds and mammals including humans. In immunocompetent hosts, the infection is usually asymptomatic and benign. Toxoplasmosis is either congenital or acquired. In general prenatal therapy of congenital toxoplasmosis is beneficial in reducing the ncy of infant infection. Therapies are based primarily on spiramycin because of the relative lack of toxicity and high concentration achieved in the placenta. Clindamycin is the standard drug for chemoprophylaxis in newborn infants, and is directed at preventing the occurrence of retinochoroiditis as a late sequel to congenital infection. The standard treatment for acquired toxoplasmosis in both immunocompetent and immunodeficient patients is the synergistic combination of pyrimethamine and sulphonamides. Toxoplasmic encephalitis is tbe most common manifestation of acquired toxoplasmosis in immunocompromised patients and if not treated is fatal. However, because of toxicity, the therapeutic efficacy of pyrimethamine sulphonamide combinations may be seriously limited in immunodeficient patients. We have experienced a case of toxoplasmosis during the workup of habitual aborter. So we report this case with a brief review of literatures.
