Two cases of carcinoid tumor of the uterine cervix were reported with emphasis on the histologic, cytologic, histochemical and electron microscopic appearance of tumor cells. Based on the light microscopic findings, one case was a well differentiated carcinoid with acinus formation, and the other was a poorly differentiated anaplastic type, being composed of small cells similar to those of oat cell carcinoma of the lung. Both tumors demonstrated scattered argyrophilic cells on Grimelius stain, and contained neurosecretory granules on electron microscopy. They were in stages II b and IV, respectively, at the time of presentation. The latter patient was treated with vinblastin, platinol and bleomycin, but died in 9 months after the initial diagnosis. The former was lost to follow-up study. Importance of distinction between this highly malignant tumor and other varieties of cervical cancer was emphasized.

A new method of urinary diversion via Skinner`s modification of Koch continent ileal reservoir was tried. With this method continence with storage of urine under low pressure is well maintained so that no external applicances are necessary. Ileorenal reflux is also prevented with this nipple forming technique. From May l986 to September l986, 4 patients underwent urinary diversion that included creation of a modified Koch pouch by Skinner. Previous urinary diversion was by ureterocutaneous diversion in 1 patient. A total of 3 patients underwent radical cystectomies for bladder cancer In 1 patient, simultaneous urethrectomy was done because of carcinoma in situ in the urethra. There were no operative mortalities. All patients are continent and without reflux to the upper urinary tract. The volume capacity of pouch is more than 400ml. The pouch is emptied by self-catheterization every 4 to 6 hours during the day and once at night. Postoperative follow-up presently is short and it is impossible to check late complications. Although preliminary, this clinical trial suggests that the quality of life for patients can be improved markedly by the modified Koch continent ileal reservoir.

Actinic reticuloid as a manifestation of chronic actinic dermatitis (CAD) is a rare dermatosis whose clinical and histologic features resemble other types of pseudolymphomas including mycosis fungoides and Jessner's lymphocytic infiltration, and it is regarded as an eventual stage of various photodermatoses like photosensitive eczema or persistent light reaction or chronic photoallergic contact dermatitis and so on. Phototests in the patients with actinic reticuloid usually reveal hypersensitivity to UVB, UVA, and sometimes to visible light. We present a case of actinic reticuloid in a 65-year-old male, whose skin lesions developed as erythematous lichenified infiltrating plaques on the face at first, and then spread themselves onto the upper trunk later. Histologically those skin lesions showed the aggregation of atypical lymphocytes and photobiologically the results of phototests revealed photosensitivity to UVB and UVA.

PURPOSE: To assess the efficacy of the Toric Implantable Collamer Lens (Toric ICL) to treat moderate to high myopic astigmatism. METHODS: Toric ICL was implanted in 77 eyes of 40 patients with myopia (spherical equivalent [SE] between 3.5 and 18.5 diopters [D]) and astigmatism between 1 and 6 D. The patients were followed up for at least 3 months. Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), refraction, best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), adverse events, and postoperative complications were evaluated. RESULTS: At 3months postoperatively, the proportion of eyes with 1.0 or better UCVA (56 eyes out of 77 eyes, 72.7%) was significantly greater than the proportion of eyes with preoperative 1.0 or better BSCVA (38 eyes out of 77 eyes, 49.4%). The mean manifest refractive cylinder dropped from 2.78D (+/-1.05) at baseline to 0.35D (+/-0.34) postoperatively, an 87.4% decrease in astigmatism. Mean manifest refraction SE (MRSE) improved from -9.93D (+/-2.66) preoperatively to 0.15D (+/-0.33) postoperatively. A total of 96.1% of eyes were predicted accurately to within +/-0.75D of predicted MRSE. Mean improvement in BSCVA was 0.79lines; there were no eyes that lost two lines of BSCVA after 3 months postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS: The results support the efficacy and predictability of Toric ICL implantation to treat moderate to high myopic astigmatism.

9.A Case of Krabbe Disease.
Journal of the Korean Child Neurology Society 2001;9(2):411-415
Krabbe disease is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder that affects both the central and peripheral nerve system due to an enzymatic defect of galactocerebroside bata-galactosidase. The patient had typical clinical features of Krabbe disease, with irritability, hypertonicity, failure to thrive, and opisthotonic posturing. A brain MRI demonstrates profound white matter demyelination. The diagnosis of Krabbe disease is suspected on the basis of clinical pictures and confirmed by finding markedly reduced galactocerebroside bata-galactosidase activity in leukocyte or cultured fibroblast. Here we present the first reported case of Krabbe disease in Korea confirmed by decreased activity of galactocerebroside bata-galactosidase enzyme in leukocyte.

BACKGROUND: Hypothermia is a condition that can lead to serious complications and even to death in newborn. Although the temperature control is essential in neonatal care, it is often neglected during urgent transfer from local private hospitals. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence and clinical outcomes of transfer induced neonatal hypothermia. SUBJECTS AND METHOD: In this retrospective study, subject is limited to transferred outborn babies with age less than 24 hours from June 1996 to May 1999. A total of 3,086 patients were admitted in NICU during the study period and inborn and outborn babies were 1,743(56%) and 1,343(44%) respectively. Among the 1,343 outborn babies, 212 babies were transferred from the private hospital within 24 hours of birth and were eligible for the study. Rectal temperature on arrival, transfer time, birth weight, gestational age, initial arterial gas study, and clinical outcome were compared. Statistical analysis has been done with chi-sqaure test and multiple logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: There were 84 cases(39.6%) hypothermia(<36degrees C> among the 212 babies and the rate of hypothermia in transfered babies have not decreased over the study period. There were significantly more hypothermia in lower gestational age (less than 28 weeks) and lower birth weight (less than 2,000gm) caused hypothermia significantly more than normal gestational age or normal range of birth weight. And time interval (less than 12 hour) from birth to arrival at emergency department was also significant factor in hypothermia. The mortality rate was three fold higher in hypothermia than normothermic or hyperthermic babies. CONCLUSION: This study shows that hypothermia during neonate transportation is a major cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity in prehopital care. Body temperature control during transport of neonates under 24 hours of age should be emphasized for the better outcome of treatment.
