In a 10-year old mixed dog, a $10{\times}10{\times}4$ cm mass was palpated around the left caudal thoracic mammary gland with abdomen expension. In hormonal assay, serum concentrate of progesterone was 0 pg/ml and serum concentrate of estradiol was 66.7 pg/ml. Radiological finding of the mammary gland showed higher density than that of soft tissue and ultrasonographic finding showed inhomogeneous in echogenicity. Light microscopic view of mammary gland showed neoplastic hyperplasia of epithelial and myoepithelial cells and showed some metaplastic lesion of these cells to cartilage or bone tissues with metastasis to the lung. This case was diagnosed as malignant mixed mammary tumor.

We experienced a case of esophageal leiomyoma recently in department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surg., Pusan Baik Hospital, Inje Medical College. Patient had suffered from dysphagia and chest discomfort for 2 years. The esophagogram showed an ovoid smooth filling defect in lower portion of the esophagus, mucosal fold of esophagus was not destroyed. A benign intramural tumor of the esophagus such as leiomyoma was suspected with X-ray finding and clinical features. Open thoracotomy was performed through the left 8th intercostal space. A firm egg sized mass in the well of lower esophagus was enucleated by blunt dissection with caution to avoid injury of the mucosa of the esophagus. The diagnosis of leiomyoma was confirmed with histopathological finding. Postoperative course was uneventful.

Tracheal diverticulum is very rare, that is usually an incidental finding at routine chest computed tomography scan. Differential diagnosis of tracheal diverticulum includes pharyngocele, laryngocele, Zenker diverticulum, apical lung hernia, blebs and bulla, and pneumomediastinum. Treatment options can be devided into medical and surgical. The majority of patients is asymptomatic and requires no specific intervention. We experienced one case of tracheal diverticulum in patient with tongue cancer and report it with reviews of literature.

We experienced a case of giant cell tumor arising from the right 2nd rib in the diagnostic and therapeutic thoracotomy at our department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Chungnam Univ. Hospital in May 3rd, 1991. The reports of this tumor are very rare and are known to have the incidence of 1 percent or less of all giant cell bone tumor. The tumor of the right 2nd rib, infant head-sized, covered with parietal pleura was invaded into the vertebra on operation finding. The tumor was resected partially[three fourths] and revealed to be the giant cell tumor on pathologic finding. At now, the patient is taking the radiotherapy to achieve the therapeutic goal to the remnant tumor.

Relapsing polychondritis is an uncommon disorder of unknown etiology. That involves multisystem characterized by recurrent inflammation, degenerative change of multiple cartilaginous structures. The most common clinical manifestation is an auricular chondritis. Other involving systems are joint, nose, eye, larynx, trachea, aorta, heart and kidney. A 26-year-old man who complained of hoarseness and sore throat was referred to the ENT department from internal medicine department. On initial video-laryngoscopic and radiologic examination, there was no abnormal finding. Treatment with high doses of corticosteroid and methotrexate was not effective. Symptoms were aggrevated with dyspnea. Three months later, on video-laryngoscopic examination, bilateral cord fixation with swelling was noted. The radiologic finding showed subglottic stenosis due to collapse of anterior wall of cricoid cartilage. The condition was managed with tracheotomy. We report a case of relapsing polychondritis involving larynx and trachea with bilateral vocal cord palsy which was managed with tracheotomy.

A subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) associated with negative finding on four-vessel angiography is seen in 5 to 30% of patients with intracranial SAH. A previously silent lesion in the spinal canal may be responsible for the angiographically negative finding for cause of intracranial SAH. We report a case of upper cervical (C1-2) intradural schwannoma presenting with acute intracranial SAH. Repeated cerebral angiographic studies were negative, but cervical magnetic resonance imaging study and tissue pathology revealed a intradural-extramedullary schwannoma in C1-2 level. This case illustrates the importance of a high index of clinical suspicion for spinal disease in angiographically negative intracranial SAH patients.

This paper focuses on finding out visualization process by means of VTA(Visual Task Analysis) of expert teachers' simple task. Findings indicate teachers have coding schema of performing visual task as such; (a) the analyzing by reading and some activities in the task text, (b) conceptualizing or understanding in his/her own way, (c) the explaining of the action or product, (d) the searching by thinking or finding, (e) the decision of visualizing of the task. Expert teachers tried to visualize in the form of abstract graph, and to omit the object which was not directly related to the topic at the pilot study. VAT based on ground theory and protocol analysis was developed and performed. This case study suggests that an additional study for searching a guide and method might be beneficial for conducting a visual task analysis.

We Propose the methods to design the finite impulse response (FIR) and the infinite impulse response (IIR) lattice filters using Schur algorithm through the spectral factorization of the covariance matrix by circulant matrix factorization (CMF). Circulant matrix factorization is also very powerful tool used for spectral factorization of the covariance polynomial in matrix domain to obtain the minimum phase polynomial without the polynomial root finding problem. Schur algorithm is the method for a fast Cholesky factorization of Toeplitz matrix, which easily determines the lattice filter parameters. Examples for the case of the FIR filter and for the case of the In filter are included, and performance of our method check by comparing of our method and another methods (polynomial root finding and cepstral deconvolution).
