The mother was 24 years old, primipara, and had been taking carbamazepine 400mg(serum concentration $5.0-8.5{\mu}g/ml$) during pregnancy without any clinical seizures. A male baby with physical malformation was delivered on week 39. The malformation is extradigit(polydactily) on X-ray of right foot and left mild hydronephrosis on ultrasonography and renal scan with radioactive material. We reported this rare case and reviewed related articles about teratogenic effect of carbamazepine, mechanism of action and prevention of teratogenesis.

본 연구에서는 한강을 세 구간으로 구분하여 구간별 대표지점(의암호, 팔당호, 및 동호대교 정점)의 하상퇴적물을 grap으로 각각 채취한 후, Tandem Bioassays 을 적용하여 환경독성 수준을 평가하고 정점간 상호 비교하였다. Tandem Bioassays 이란 유해물질 오염에 의한 다양한 생태계 반응을 표현할 수 있는 최소한의 상호 보완적 환경독성 평가 체계를 의미한다. 본 연구에서 적용한 Tandem Bioassays 은 발광성미생물을 사용하는 Microtox 시험, 수서 물벼룩인 daphnia와 ceriodaphnia 시험, 그리고 개구리 배아를 이용하는 기형유발능 시험(최기형성 시험, FETAX)등으로 구성하였다.

1980년 일리자로프가 하지에서의 골 신장술을 발표한 이래 수많은 외과 의사들이 임상연구와 발표를 거듭해 현재의 골 신장술을 이루었다. 악골에서 골 신장술의 적용은 1992년 8명의 악골 기형 환아에게 하악지 신장술을 적용한 맥카시의 발표를 기점으로 시작되었다. 골 신장술의 장점은 부족한 골조직과 함께 주변 연조직을 신장시키는 것으로 복합적 조직 결손을 보이는 선천성 악골 기형 환자들에게 특히 유리하게 적용시킬 수 있다. 반안모 왜소증은 안면 반측의 상/하악골 및 악관절, 연조직의 저성장 및 결손을 보이는 비교적 흔한 악골 기형이다. 하악지 신장술의 활발한 연구로 이를 이용한 악관절 증상과 안면 비대칭의 해소가 일차적 치료기법으로 선택되고 있다. 연구자들은 악관절 증상과 안면 비대칭을 주소로 내원한 성인 반안모 왜소증 환자에게 상악 및 하악의 동시 골 신장술을 적용하여 만족할 만한 결과를 얻었기에 이를 발표한다. 상악골의 Le Fort 제1형 골 절단술과 이환측의 하악지 시상분할 골절단술 후에 Molina distractor를 하악지에 적용하고 악간 고정을 통해 동시 신장을 꾀하였다. 수술 기법 및 평가 기법에 대하여 논의하였다.

In this experiment, I investigated toxicity evaluation of chemicals using domestic frog embryos, along FETAX (Frog Embryo Teratogenesis Assay-Xenopus) protocol. I investigated $Cu^{2+}$ and Tebuconazole effect on the tree frog, Hyla japonica, embryos by probit analysis. Mortality and malformation rates increased and larval body length decreased depending on the concentrations of $Cu^{2+}$ and Tebuconazole. The teratogenic concentration ($EC_{50}$) of $Cu^{2+}$ and Tebuconazole were 0.05, 5.0mg/${\ell}$, respectively and the embryo lethal concentration ($LC_{50}$) of $Cu^{2+}$ and Tebuconazole were 0.16, 38.5, respectively. The teratogenic index (TI) appeared 3.0 in $Cu^{2+}$ and 7.7 in Tebuconazole, which showed teratogenicity in embryonic development of Hyla japonica. These results reveal that $Cu^{2+}$ and Tebuconazole in this experiment suppressed the development of embryos at relatively low concentration. Much of Hyla japonica embryos can be secured, and easy to incubate. In addition, mortality, malformation ratios, malformation patterns and growth rates are similar to the results from the other assay systems. Therefore, the Hyla japonica embryo teratogenesis assay system could be a useful tool to evaluate toxicity of pollutants in environment.

In this experiment, we investigated the toxicity of tebuconazole (fungicide) using domestic frog embryos, along the FETAX (Frog Embryo Teratogenesis Assay-Xenopus) protocol. Bufo gargarizans, Hyla japonica, and Pelophylax nigromaculatus embryos were incubated, and investigation of the tebuconazole effect was performed by the probit analysis. As a result, depending on the concentrations of tebuconazole, the mortality and malformation rates were increased and larval body length was decreased. The teratogenic concentrations (EC₅₀) of tebuconazole were 34.4mg L^-1, 10.6mg L^-1, and 14.9mg L^-1, respectively, and the embryo lethal concentrations(LC₅₀) of tebuconazole were 74.7 mg L^-1, 38.5 mg L^-1, and 39.1 mg L^-1, respectively. The teratogenic index (TI) valuesof tebuconazole were 2.19, 3.58, and 2.65; thus, it showed teratogenicity in embryonic development of these three frogs. These results revealed that in this experiment, tebuconazole suppressed the development of embryos at a relatively low concentration. In addition, mortality, malformation ratios, malformation patterns, and growth rates were similar to the results from the other assay systems. Therefore, tebuconazole was thought to have an effect on the embryo development of domestic frogs. In future, it will be necessary to identify species specificity in order to the clarify the causes of differences in mortality, malformation rate, and malformation patterns depending on the species.

Purpose : To evaluate the effects of X-irradiation on prenatal deaths, i.e., preimplantation deaths, embryonic deaths and fetal deaths, and on external malformations in precompacted preimplantation ddy mice Materials and Methods : Pregnant mice (n=85) obtained by limiting the mating time to from 6 to 9 A.M., were segregated into 11 groups. The first five groups (n=26) were irradiated with X-ray doses of 0.1 0.5, 0.75, 1.5, and 3 Gy, respectively, at 24 h post conception (p.c.) of the preimplantation Period. The second five (n=27) groups were irradiated at the same X-ray doses, respectively, but at 48 h p.c. of the preimplantation period. The last group (n=32) was the control group. The uterine contents were examined on the 18th day of gestation for prenatal deaths and external malformations. Results : 1) A statistically significant increase in preimplantation deaths with increasing dose was observed in the experimental groups irradiated at 24 h p.c. and in the groups irradiated at 48 h p.c., as compared to the control group. The threshold dose was close to 0.05 Gy and 0.075 Gy for the irradiations at 24 h p.c. and 48 h p.c. respectively. 2) A statistically significant increase in embryonic deaths with increasing dose was observed in all irradiation groups, except the group irradiated with a dose of 0.1 Gy at 48 h p.c.. 3) No fetal deaths were found in any experimental group. 4) In the experimental groups irradiated at 24 h p.c. anomalies increased with statistical significance, as compared with the control group : 2 exencephalies, 2 open eyelids, 3 anophthalmias, 2 cleft Palates, 2 gastroschisis, 1 abdominal wall defect. 1 leg defect, and 2 short tail anomalies: the threshold dose for external malformations was close to 0.2 Gy at 24 h p.c.. In the groups irradiated at 48 h p.c., 1 open eyelid and 2 short tail anomalies were observed, but there was no statistical significance in those malformations. Conclusion : The results of this study reveal that X-irradiation of precompacted preimplantation ddy mice causes not only preimplantation deaths and embryonic deaths but also external malformations. In addition, external malformations were observed in our experiments at diagnostic doses, including 0.1 and 0.5 Gy. For this reason, we recommend that irradiation should be avoided during the preimplantation period by applying Rugh's 10-day rule.

Townes-Brocks syndrome is an uncommon autosomal dominant condition first described by Townes and Brocks in 1972. We experienced a newborn female who presented with clinical findings of Townes-Brocks syndrome in an otherwise unaffected family. The patient showed the full spectrum of anomalies including anterior placed anus, triphalangeal thumb, preaxial polydactyly, pre-auricular tags, microtia without opening, sensorineural hearing loss and unilateral renal agenesis.

Background: Ebstein anomaly is a rare congenital disease distinguished by its unique deformity in tricuspid valve and right ventricle & atrium. In its surgical treatment , tricuspid valve reconstruction and valve replacement are well known method, but various surgical methods were suggested. Material and Method : From January 1984 to December 1995, 8 patients with Ebstein anomaly underwent surgical correction. Age and sex distribution, clinical symtoms, radiologic findings, preoperative studies, operative findings, operative methods and its results were analyzed. Result: The sex ratio was 5 to 3(male : female). Patients' ages were averaged 17.6(2-28) years. In all cases, it showed typical deformities of the tricuspid valve. Associated anomalies were permenant foramen ovale, atrial septum defect, pulmonary stenosis. Surgical procedures included tricuspid valve replacement(n=4) and tricuspid valve reconstuction(n=4). Two cases of sinus tachycardia and complete AV block occured postoperatively. There were two hospital death and no late death. All survivors are in NYHA class I or II with median follow up of 64.8 months. 2-D echocardiogram disclosed improvement tricuspid regurgitation during the follow up period. Conclusion: Even though operative method of Ebstein anomaly should be decided according to each anatomical characteristics, we recommended that tricuspid valvuloplasty and plication can be one of the good methods method in the selective cases.
