Congenital tricuspid stenosis is an uncommon congenital heart anomaly. Tricuspid stenosis is usually associated with other anomalies, most commonly severe pulmonary stenosis or atresia with secondary hypoplasia of the right ventricle. Clinically it may be difficult to distinguish from tricuspid atresia. A case of congenital tricuspid stenosis in a 32 day-old-girl is presented. The patient had cyanosis and dyspnea. Echocardiographic study revealed tricuspid stenosis with right ventricular hypoplasia, atrial septal defect and pulmonary stenosis.

We report a 58-year-old man who developed synchronous gastric non-Hodgkin`s lymphoma (NHL) and renal cell carcinoma. He presented with epigastric discomfort for 2 months. Endoscopic finding of the stomach disclosed a large inegular ulceration with nodular margin on the upper body. Constrast enhanced CT scan of the abdomen showed an ulceration and focal wall thickening in the greater curvature side of stomach, and an enhanced bulging mass in the left kidney incidentally. The tissue obtained by radical proximal gastrectomy and nephrectomy showed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma on stomach and chromophobic type of renal cell carcinoma on kidney. To our knowledge, this is the first report of synchronous gastric NHL and renal cell carcinoma in Korea.

Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis, an uncommon chronic inflammatory renal disorder of middle-aged women, is rarely seen in childhood. A 10 year-old boy with focal type of this disease in upper and lower pole was experienced. Patient had a intermittent fever and right flank pain without palpable mass. The blood analysis only revealed ESR increase but no anemia, no leukocytosis. There was no history or signs of urinary tract infection or calculi. The urine analysis and culture showed nothing abnormal. An intravenous pyelogram, ultrasonogram, abdominal CT and selective renal arteriography only demonstrated a non functioning upper pole of right kidney. During operation, a gross finding and frozen section strongly showed xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis and diagnosis was made on histological examination, After nephrectomy, there had been no evidence of disease recurrence during 2 years follow-up period.

PURPOSE: Simple instructional systems design (ISD) model is based on a fast development, usability test, and continuos feedback, which are necessary for educational program development in medical school. This study aims to figure out the usability of Simple ISD model for a medical ethics education program by describing a developmental details of each phase and its evaluation results. METHODS: Research has been conducted in two steps. First, while researchers participated in the program development by using Simple ISD model, we collected empirical data of each development activities. Second, the developed program was evaluated by students' web-based usability test, a 8-students' focus group interview and 5 faculty members' individual interviews in 4 domains; learning contents, instructional methods and strategies, achievement evaluation, and self-evaluation. RESULTS: Following the circular process of analysis, design, development, and usability test of Simple ISD model, a 10-week medical ethics program covering 9 instructional topics was developed. The average points of response on the developed medical ethics program in 2008 and 2009 are increased from 3.96 to 4.59 and 4.41, respectively. The prospects and limitations of the program are discussed. CONCLUSION: From a development study of the medical ethics program by using Simple ISD model, we could implement a more usable medical ethics program, and found 4 different usability of the Simple ISD model; the rapid development of educational program, program improvement by continuous feedback, faculty members' engagement in instructional design, and professional development of the faculty members.

The dithiocarbsmates are commonly used worldwide as an agricultural fungicide because they are inexpensive and known to be highly effective, A 37 year old male farmer visited our department because of skin rashes on the face, neck and both handa for three years. Because the patch test results revealed a strong positive reaction to dithiocarbamates, and the irritant reaction to orthodichlorobenzen and the biopsy specimen taken from the lesion of dorsum of hand showed the findings of allergic contact dermatitis, the diagnosis of allergic contact dermatitis due to dithiocarbamate was made. The skin lesions were cleared after avoicing the causative agent along with consertatve treatment. There was no relapse during the one year follow up period.
