BACKGROUND: There have been many articles about the chemical peeling of Caucasian skin, but there have been few reports about postpeel results among Oriental people. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this report is to evaluate the effects of chemical skin peeling on the facial skin of Korean individuals over a two year period and compare these results with those relating to Caucasian skin. METHOD: Using 15 to 50 per cent trichloroacetic acid (TCA), we have peeled 121 pationts with fine wrinking, irregular pigmentary deposits, superficial acne scars, and melasma, and observed them for 2 years. RESULTS: In contrast to melasma, fine wrinkling and irregular pigmentary deposits responded efficiently to TCA peeling. About 70 per cent of the patients showed satisfactory clinical results one year after treatment while 50 per cent of them did so two years after treatment. Postpeel hyperpigmentation and erythema lasted for 3.15 months and 6 weeks, respectively, on average. CONCLUSION: If we select a fair-skinned woman in her fifties, even though she is an Oriental. TCA peeling can treat the fine wrinkling or irregular pigmentary deposits to a satisfactory degree.

Ovarian tumor in pregnancy is not rare and benign cystic teratoma is most common ovarian tumor in pregnancy. Most ovarian tumor in pregnancy is found at first and second trimester but sometimes found at third trimester and it is difficult to make a decision for management. Moreover physician should consider fetal age and mother's condition, and weigh outcome of operation for complicated ovarian tumor in pregnancy. Torsion of ovarian tumor is not an uncommon complication during first trimester of pregnancy and puerperium but rare occurs during the third trimester of pregnancy. We have experienced a case of torsion of benign cystic teratoma of ovary which occurred at 37 weeks gestation in a 25 year-old woman. So we report this case with a brief review of literature.

Ataxia is one of the most serious neurological symptoms in elderly The clarification of the related anatomical structures are necessary for the understanding of pathophysiologic mechanisms of ataxia. We have recently experienced a case of thalamic infarct in the territory of thalamogeniculate artery. The localization of lesion was based on CT and MR imaging. At first time, right hemiparesis and ataxia were prominent. Hemiparesis was transient but ataxia had been persistent for several months. It has been suspected that thalamus could be the part of neural circuits in balancing. Our case support this suggestion clinically. Based on clinical observations, a plausible extrapolation can be made to thalamic ataxia. It maybe related with dysfunction of dentatorubrothalamic and corticopontine pathway. Thus our case led us to conclude that thalamus could be engaged in balance control of human body.
