PURPOSE: With the use of personal computers generalized, departmental society leveled computerization isgoing on in some other departments. So we tried to develop a program having a simple user interface, various retrieval functions and, analytic & statistic process system to effectively help patient care suitable for works concerned with department of diagnostic radiology and works of department. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This programdeals with such target works as department of diagnostic radiology and some works to need a lot of book keeping. Itis deviced to operate with windows (Microsoft, America), and central processing unit(486DX-2), memory unit(8Mbyte). As a developmental tool, Foxpro 2.6 for windows R(Microsoft, America). RESULTS: This Program can be easily accessed even by staffs poor at computer and it can make many books recording various check-ups and operations unnecessary, which were difficult to keep. Besides, it can keep data as a unified form, and so it provides patient care and other works with convenience and helps applying those stored data scientific research. CONCLUSION: The above result shows that works of department can be effectively controlled by analyzing or printing various check-up and operation done by department of diagnostic radiology.

A case of vaginal and cervical adenocarcinoma, mostly of clear cell type, in young women have been associated with intrauterine exposure to diethystillbestrol(DES) or other nonsteroidal estrogenic substances and vaginal adenosis. We have encountered a case of clear-cell adenocarcinoma of the cervix uteri of 27years young house wife, in which there was a history of intrauterine exposure to DES. We presented a case with a brief review of related literature.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate safety and efficacy of systemic or local methotrexate(MTX) injection to patients with unruptured ectopic pregnancy METHODS: From October 1995 to October 1999, 35 unruptured ectopic pregnancies were eligible for the conservative management. 25 tubal pregnancies, 4 cervical pregnancies, 4 pregnancies of previous cesarean section scar, and 2 cornual pregnancies diagnosed by ultrasonography & serumbeta-hCG were evaluated. Patients were treated with one of following three protocols : (1) A single-dose of 50mg/m2 of intramuscullar(IM) MTX(7 cases) (2) Two to four doses of 1.0mg/kg of IM MTX with citrovorum rescue(20 cases) (3) Transvaginal ultrasonogram-guided intra-amniotic instillation of 50mg methotrexate (8 cases) The mean age of these patients was 30.8 yrs (range 24-42) and gestational age at diagnosis ranged from 22-75 days (mean 47). Initial level of serumbeta-hCG ranged from 166.4-55363.8 mIU/mL (mean 9069.2). Patients were monitored with serumbeta-hCG titers three times per week ,and then weekly until the serumbeta-hCG level was less then 10 mIU/mL. RESULT: 31 of 35 patients (88.6%) were successfully treated and remaining 4 patients failed conservative therapy and so required surgery. Mean duration of resolution was 38.5 days (range 11-105). Side effect rate was 45.7% but severity of symptoms were so mild that no treatment was needed in most cases. CONCLUSION: Nonsurgical conservative management of MTX appears to be effective and safe treatment modality for some selected unruptured ectopic pregnancy. But further comparative studies and long-term follow-up are needed to evaluate reproductive outcome and reduce side effects of MTX.
