Traumatic brain injury(TBI) is generally considered to be a risk factor for psychiatric disorders, especially depression an anxiety disorder. Despite the anxiety disorders are frequent sequelae after traumatic brain injury, the patients gave not been payed medical attention and treated by doctors properly. The factors of precipitating and sustaining the anxiety disorders after TBI are brain injury itself, and the patient's or caregiver's response to the disability after TBI. To diagnose and treat them effectively, the knowledge about the mechanisms of and symptoms after TBI have to be needed. Psychiatrist should be a supportive and good listener to the patients who are complaining anxiety symptoms and differentiation whether the psychiatric symptoms are due to TBI or not Because the TBI patients are very sensitive to drug side effects doctors have to be familiar with the side effects as well as the mechanisms of action of the common psychotropics.

Recurrent infantile digital fibroma is a peculiar fibrous tumiir that may be single or multiple on fingers and toes of infants and children. We report a 5-year-old gril with recurrent infantile digital fiber oma which was recurrent on the left 5th toe. The lesion had noted at the age of 6 months. and was excised surgically when the child was 3 year old. 2 years after operation, the lesion was recurred in operation site. Microscopically, nodular fibrous mass is attached to flattened,pidermis. The underlying nodule is composed of proliferating fibroblasts surrounded by derse collagenous tissue. We could find eosinophilic inclusion bodies in the cytoplasm of fibro ilast. It was stained pink with H&E, bright red with Massons trichrome and purple with PTAH.

PURPOSE: lntra-arterial cisplatin infusion chemotherapy delivers higher concentration of this therapeutic agent to the limited area of cervical carcinoma. We evaluated the role of endorectal ultrasonography (ERUS) in the analysis of the tumor response to this chemotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: ERUS was done in 20 patients of cervical carcinomas limited to the pelvis by rotating the 5 UHz linear arraytransducer along the reference sagittal plane in the middle of uterine cervix and vagina. We examined and compared the change of tumor size and morphology on ER US, before, during and after intra-arterial cisplatin (50 mg/m2) chemotherapy through internal lilac artery near uterine arterial branching. Colposcopy and radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy were performed in all patients, and ERUS findingswere compared with those findings. RESULTS: ERUS correlated well with surgery in the estimation of preoperative tumor size and morphology. Tumor reduction rate on ERUS (100-the largest area of the preoperative tumor/the largest area of the initial tumor) was as follows: more than 75% decrease of the original size in 3 patients, 75% -50% in 6 patients, 50%-25% in 8 patients, and less than 25% in 3 patients. Hyperechoic reflecting areas were noted in 4 patients, which corresponded to gaseous necrosis on postoperative pathology. CONCLUSION: ERUS is helpful to evaluate the morphologic change of cervical carcinoma limited tothe pelvis in intra-arterial cisplatin chemotherapy.
