The DNA ploidy using fresh tissues from 304 cervial cancer were analyzed by flow cytometry in order to evaluate the correlation between DNA ploidy patterns and prognostic factors of uterine cervical cancer. There were l67 diploid cases(55%) and 137 aneuploid(45%). No significant correlation was noted in stage, age and lymph node metastases between diploid and aneuploid tumor. But S-phase fraction and DNA index were higher slightly in cases of lymph node metastases cornpaired to non-metastases. This results suggest that the DNA ploidy cannot be used as an independent prognostic fac- tor, but further evaluation will be needed in order to conclude definite relationship between prognoseic factor and S-phase fraction or DNA index.

The aims of study presented here were to determine dose-dependent effects of UVB irradiation on CHS reaction and comparative effects of VVB on the induction and elicitation in guinea pigs. Pre-induction exposure to either suberythemal or supraerythemal doses of UVB resulted in suppreasion of CHS (53.47% & 57.64%) campared to positive control (79. 86%) However, suberythemal doses of UVB generated a more potent suppression than supraerythemal doses. Pre-elicitation exposure to suberythemal doses of UVB on the elicitation sites and adjacent to elicitation sites resulted in suppressed CHS reactions in both groups (60.4zg & 56.25p,). When the reaction by UVB was eliminated from the cutaneous reaction elicited in guinea pigs sensitized to DNCB, by UVB irradiation on the adjacent to elicitation sites, generated a more potent suppression than that UVB was directly irradiated on the elicitation sites.

A case of 38 year old woman had noted 3 lesions with asymptomatic, reddish brown colored, coin sized, slightly elevated, confluent patches on the right postauri-cular for about 20 years. The infiltrate in the patches felt moderately firm to the touch. the lesions were suspected to be chronic dermatitis group, erythema multiforme or granuloma annulare clinically, but the histopathologic features showed the typical findings of granuloma faciale. Literature was briefly reviewed for the discussion and comparision of clinical features and histopathological findings of author's case with the 2 cases previously reported in Korea.

The association rate of antibody with antigen has been reported to be greatly increased by lowering ionic strength. Low-ionic strength salt solution(LISS) method has been used for the detection of various alloantibodies. To investigate the sensitivity of LISS in indirect antiglobulin test, a comparison study of LISS with saline and albumin methods was conducted. A total of 32 patients' samples requested for indirect antiglobulin test were evaluated. Out of 32 patients with clinical immune hemolytic anemia, 11(34.3%) were positive in 37 degrees C saline antiglobulin test, 18(56.2%) in albumin antiglobulin test, 23(71.8%) in LISS antiglobulin test respectively. These results were statistically analyzed using non parametric Page's test for ordered alternatives. LISS method is more sensitive than 37 degrees C saline method or albumin method significantly (p<0.01).

Two hundreds and ninty-four prostitutes of foreign soldiers of K2 area in Taegu were investigated for their general circumtances, clinical and bacteriological studys from Mar. 1978 to May 1979. The results were as foIIows: The age group of 20-24 year-old constituted highest proportion at the level of about 53.4% Averge age of total casea was about 26.2. The propartion of those who were more than 35 occupied about 7.2%. The positive rate of Cram negative displococci (GND) on dirert smers showed highest in December and, January and lowest in-April. Wcekly distribution shwed a higher in second and fourth week. Nongonococcal infect.ions occupied about 45.4%. and total raes. The causative oanism. were niostly Gram negative and Gram positive bacilli. The mothly spells and perons with gonorrhea priod prevaIence rate showed a higher rate in Becember, January and July. The prevalence ratio of gonorrhea and syphilis was 13: 1. The examined cases occupied about 34.3, during first 2 month is after registration. The seasoal vari tion of registrators and cancellators were both most in winter. The positive rate of GND was ahout 53.1% in new comers less than two month-examinations after regiatration. Cervical erosion or chronic cervicitis .;howed about 44.8% among the examined 96% cases. Gonococci were isoIated about 25.6% among the ones with cervical lesions on Thayer-Martin media. On the other hand, the ones without lesions were about 11.3% comparatively. Syphilis period prevalence rate was about 8. 5 A. The titers of VDRL slide test were low (1; 8 or less). Two-thirds of positive cases of GND were treated by penicillin, although tetracycline and spectinomycin were also used in a few cases. The penicillin hypersensitivity sho- wed positive results in 9.7% of all treated cases.

M llerian anomalies have been infrequently encountered clinical problem for the obstetrician gynecologist, incidence was estimated to occur in 1% to 6% of all women. Recently, the use of vaginal ultrasound, MRI and endoscopic techniques have led to more accurate description and classification of m llerian anomalies. This report of a complete uterine septum with duplication of the cervix and a longitudinal vaginal septum with hemivaginal stricture represents a unique case of septate uterus, which to our knowledge previously has not been reported.
