The exposures to carbamate pesticides (BPMC specifically) of agricultural workers were estimated by collecting pesticide in air by personal sampler and by analyzing with gas chromatography. Data revealed that the highest BPMC concentration in the aspirated air was 7.7 mg/m3. Concentrations were generally higher in the group whose spray conditions were controlled than the group uncontrolled. Actual concentrations were relatively lower than the values predicted theoretically. These findings suggest that personal sampler be useful in the estimation of pesticide exposure.

Sex cord tumor with annular tubules (SCTAT) is a rare ovarian neoplasm which usually occurs in two forms. In patients associated with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, the tumors are usually small, bilateral or multifocal, and show benign clinical course. However, tumors from patients without the syndrome are often large, usually unilateral, and rarely show malignant behavior. Serous surface papillary carcinoma (SSPC) is an aggressive neoplasm which involves peritoneal linings, including ovarian surface. Recently, we encountered a case of an unusual combination of SCTAT and SSPC in the ovary of a 55-year-old Korean woman presented with abdominal distention for one year. Systemic review and physical examination were within normal limit, except for abdominal discomfort and distention. There was no stigmata of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome in all diagnostic examinations, including gastroscopy and colonoscopy. Pelvic computed tomography showed adnexal mass with multiple peritoneal nodules. Exploration revealed uterine and ovarian surfaces covered with multiple, yellow-white papillary nodules. However, the sizes of both ovaries were within normal limit. Typical serous papillary carcinomas were identified in nodules from peritoneum and ovarian surfaces. Well-circumscribed columnar epithelial cell nests composed of ring-shaped tubules encircling hyalinized basement membrane-like materials were found in the ovary away from serous surface papillary carcinoma.

5.As a Cause of Myelopathy in the Lower Thracic Spines ): Two Cases Report

Ossification of the ligamentum flavum (OLF) has been recognised as a definite clinical entity as an ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament. It has been known that the incidence of OLF is high in Japan and OLF usually occurs in the thoracic and lumbar region. Recently OLF has received considerable attention as a cause of myelopathy. OLF is quite distinct from “hypertrophy” of the ligamentum flvum. We experienced 2 cases of OLF with neurological symptom, which were treated by decompressive laminectomy and removal of the ossified ligamentum flavum. So remarkable symptomatic improvement was obtained.

To investigate the factors which affecting the cognitive impairment of the 60 or more age group, the authors surveyed for the subjects in some area of Kyungnam Province. 201 studied subjects were tested for cognitive function with mini-mental state examination(MMSE). Information on demographic characteristics and life style has been collected through direct interview. The concentration of Al and Ca of subject's drinking water, which might be related with cognition, was measured by Inductively Coupled Argon Plasma Spectrometer. The main results were summarized as follows. 1. The prevalence rate of cognitive impairment was 18.4% in male and 45.2% in female and this sexual difference was statistically significant(p=0.03). And the uneducated or illiterated showed significantly high prevalence rate of cognitive impairment(p=0.02). 2. In stratified analysis by sex and education year, we can not see significant trend indicating the neurotoxic effects of aluminum and protective effects of calcium to the cognitive function(p>0.05). 3. The correlation between the concentration of aluminum in drinking water and the MMSE score in whole subjects showed weak negative relationship(r=-0.066). But there was no statistical significance(p=0.434).

This study was undertaken to determine whether verapamil protects renal function in rabbits with ischemic acute renal failure. Renal ischemia was induced by clamping bilateral renal arteries for 60 min. One group received intravenously an infusion of verapamil (lmg/kg) for 30 min prior to initiation of renal artery clamping and the other group received equal volume of saline. Renal blood flow was measured with flowmeter before (basal) and 24 hr after ischemia. Serum creatinine level increased 24 hr after ischemia and remained high to 72 hr. When verapamil was pretreated, the level 48 and 72 hr after ischemia was significantly decreased compared with saline insusion. Urine flow was markedly decreased 24 hr after ischemia and remained depressed to 72 hr, but it was significantly increased 72 hr after ischemia in verapa- mil-pretreatment animals as compared with the saline-infusion animals. GFR were markedly reduced 24 hr after ischemia and remained depressed to 72 hr, which was significantly prevented by verapamil pretreatment. Ischemia caused a significant increase in FEVa and a reduction in Uosm, and TcH2O, indicating impairment in urine concentrating ability of tubules, and the impairment was significantly attenuated by verapamil. The uptake of p-aminohippurate in cortical slices was depressed by ischemia, which was significantly prevented by verapamil pretreatment. In salineinfusion animals, renal blood flow was not significantly different between the basal value and that after 24 hr of reflow. Renal blood flow was not significantly altered by verapamil pretreatment. Anoxia/reoxygenation injury in the control renal slices was not significantly prevented by Ca channel blockers. These results suggest that verapamil exerts a protective effect in ichemic acute renal failure, and the beneficial effects may be attributed to effects other than vasodilation. These data also indicate that a reduction in GFR following ischemia does not result from change in renal blood flow.

The May-Hegglin anomaly is a rare autosomal dominant trait characterized by platelet abnormalities in the peripheral blood and large (up to 5mu) pale blue staining inclusions in the cytoplasm of neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, and monocytes. We experienced a case of May-Hegglin anomaly in a 7 year old male and another case out of his family. His initial complaints at the admission were petechiae and intermittent epistaxis. Diagnosis was confirmed by peripheral blood smear and family study. We report the case with brief review of related literature.
