Patients over 14 years of age who have undergone a surgical correction of a congenital cardiac malformations during period of August 1959 through December 1993 have been reviewed. During this period, there were 6894 cases of congenital cardiac lesions consisting of 4576 acyanotic and 2318 cyanotic cases. Among them, a total of 1389 adults [20.1%with various congenital cardiac malformations, 1126 acyanotic group and 263 cyanotic group were operated on. 677 patients were male and 712 patients were female. There were 444 patients under 20 years of age, 365 patients between 20-24 years, 220 patients between 25-29 years, 138 patients between 30-34 years and 222 patients over 34 years. The most common defects were atrial septal defect which accounted for 500 cases [36.0%and another common malformations were ventricular septal defect [276 cases, 19.9% , patent ductus arteriosus [207 cases, 14.9% , tetralogy of Fallot [185 cases, 13.3%and pulmonary stenosis [44 cases, 3.2%in order of incidence. Overall operative mortality for this series was 2.7% [1.5% of acyanotic group and 7.9% of cyanotic groupcompared with 4.6% of operative mortality of total cases of congenital cardiac malformations [2.9% of acyanotic group and 16.7% of cyanotic group . This reviewed series reveals the incidence of operable congenital heart defects appearing in any adult life and demonstrates that surgical repair can be accomplished with a satisfactory low mortality rate.

Metacercariae of Gynaecotyla squatarolae (Digenea: Microphallidae) were discovered from the shore crab, Macrophthalmus dilatatus, purchased at a market in a coastal town of Taean-Eup, Chungcheongnam-do, Republic of Korea. Their adult flukes were confirmed by experimental infection of rats. The metacercariae of G. squatarolae were elliptical ($391.1{\times}362.5{\mu}m$), and the excysted metacercariae had progenetic genital organs, including the ovary and testes. To obtain adult flukes, 6 Sprague-Dawley rats were fed 500 metacercariae each, and killed at days 2, 4, and 6 post-infection. The adult flukes were identified as G. squatarolae (Yamaguti, 1934) Yamaguti, 1939, based on morphological characters, including 2 ventral suckers (1 large and 1 small), a large genital atrium equipped with the cirrus and the metraterm, separated male and female genital pores, a transversely long cirrus pouch, and extensive vitelline follicles. In the present study, it has been first proven that the shore crab M. dilatatus is a second intermediate host for G. squatarolae in the Republic of Korea.

Hemolymph proteins and vitellogenin from mulberry longicorn beetle, Apriona germari HOPE, were indentified, and their changed were analyzed during the larval-pupal-adult development and in the newly laid eggs. Thres major hemolymph proteins were observed in the hemolymph during the larval-pupal-adult development and the intensity of their proteins was clearly observed during the pupal stage. From SDS-[olyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis, molecular weights of three major hemolymph proteins were approximately 74 kDa, 78kDa and 85kDa. Vitellogenin in A. Germati appeared in the hemolymph of only abult female and is considered to be a product synthersized within 10 days after adult emergence. The molecular weight of vitellogenin was consited of a heavy subunit (165 kDa) and a light subunit (40 kDa).

The Fontan operation is commonly practiced for the physiologic correction of univentricular heart diseases. However, for the patients who have risk factors against this operation, it is recommended to take the initial palliative operation rather than going to the Fontan operation at once. The proper timing to the Fontan operation after palliation is decided by assessing several factors such as patient's age and other risks of maintaining palliative state, etc. Usually, the Fontan operation is done relatively early after palliation stage. Here, we report a 36 years old-adult-female with univentricular heart disease who underwent the successful Fontan operation at 17 years after unidirectional Glenn procedure.

The main purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between perceived the authoritarian parenting style and academic achievement among college students. Specifically, it is hypothesized that authoritarian parenting would indirectly affect the academic achievement of college students through self-differentiation level and career decision-making self-efficacy. 283 college students, after the consideration of their grade and gender, were selected for this study as participants. Methods describing the primary analytical technique of Structural Equation Modeling were used for the study. The results demonstrate that an authoritarian parenting style negatively affected the academic achievement of college students. There are mediation effects of self-differentiation and career decision-making self-efficacy between the perceived authoritarian parenting style and academic achievement among college students. The findings imply that the positive development of adult children requires more egalitarian parenting styles than those used on early adolescents. Next, for female students, specialized career counseling programs focusing on reducing psychological career barriers and career stress are needed. Lastly, it is implied that parenting styles used on adult children in Korea may differ from Western styles. Therefore, it may be difficult to explain the relationship between parents and adult children with a traditional theoretical framework.

Purpose: In rare cases, infectious disease can become the cause of palatal fistula as it usually occurs in immunocompromised patients. We are reporting this case because we have successfully reconstructed palatal fistula occurring due to infectious disease in a healthy adult. Methods: A 62-year-old female patient had visited our hospital with a palatal hole that had occurred after suffering from a severe febrile disease. An oro-nasal fistula measuring $1.5{\times}1.3cm$ has been observed in the junction of the soft palate and hard palate, and is presumed to be caused by an infectious disease according to the patient's history. It was reconstructed using a hinge flap and a mucoperiosteal flap. Results: For 6 months, no recurrence or complications had been observed. The post operative patient was satisfied with the improvement in nasal speech and fluid regurgitation. Conclusion: We reported this case since we had obtained a functionally satisfactory result by reconstructing the palatal fistula due to infectious disease in a healthy adult.

In the family Hydroptilidae, Trichoptera, 11 species in 3 genera, Hydroptila Dalman, 1819, Oxyethira Eaton, 1873 and Stactobia McLachlan, 1880, have been recorded from the Korean Peninsula but, until now, no species in the genus Orthotrichia Eaton, 1873. In this paper, we describe a new Korean species, Orthotrichia coreana sp. nov., based on adult specimens from the middle reaches of rivers in the southern region of the peninsula. This species is similar to O. iriomotensis Ito, 2013 from the southernmost region of Japan, but is clearly discriminated from the latter by features of the male and female genitalia.

A noctuid species, Tamba igniflua (Wileman and South), was reported for the first time in Korea. One female of T. igniflua was successfully reared with leaves of Eurya japonica from a caterpillar collected in the southwestern part of the Korean Peninsula. Diagnostic characteristics of the species are provided with a brief description of caterpillar and adult, including genitalic structure.

Burkitt lymphoma, which was described by Dennis Burkitt in 1958, is characterized as a diffuse undifferentiated lymphoma. It afflicts children of the 1st or 2nd decades, and usually presents as a jaw or abdominal tumor. The author experienced a case of Burkitt lymphoma in a 30-year-old female, whose right mandible and ascending colon were afflicted, and discussed the clinical, radiological, and histopathological features with brief review of literatures.
