Comprehensive understanding of the natural course of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is mandatory for the management and treatment of chronic hepatitis B, of which the natural course consists of immune tolerance, immune clearance, inactive carrier state, and reactivation phase. Evidence based medical approach is essential for the management of HBV carriers and treatment of active hepatitis to decrease risks of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma as well as to increase survival. In addition, education of patients or their parents are required to achieve a better therapeutic outcome and to prevent unconfirmed alternative medicine and anecdotal approaches.

We've reviewed 518 cases of claims by death that had occured for one year from April, 1983 to March, 1984. As a result, we came to following conclusions; First, the greater part of the death were due to Accidental death(19.1%), Heart disease(18.9%), Malignant neoplasm(17.4%), Liver cirrhosis(10.6%), and the Cerebrovascular disease(9.7%), which were occupied by 75.7% of the whole. Second, classifying them by medical examinations or non medical, death in case of non medical examination showed 89% of the whole. And for age, section ranging from 41 to 50, from 51 to 60 and from 31 to 40 took the overwhelming portion by 27.4%, 26.6%, and 17.4% respectively, those of which showed 71.4% of the whole. Third, for the period elapsed, death within 1 year from the entrance showed 31% and that from 1 year to under 2 years 20.5%. Thus the rate of early death under 2 years stood for 51.5% of the whole.

Benign symmetric lipomatosis is a rare disease. Its main characteristic is the symmetric massive deposits of adipose tissue, in unencapsulated form, predominatly on the neck, shoulder, back and upper exterimities. We report a case of a 61 year old man with benign symmetric lipomatosis. He had a history of alcoholic liver cirrhosis. Due to cosmetic defomity, he wanted surgical treatment . We did a cervical lipectomy. He was satisfied with the result, and there was no evidence of recurrence.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) has become a major public health issue and is prevalent in most countries. HCV infection starts frequently without clinical symptoms, and progresses in the majority of patients (70 to 85％) to persistent viremia and chronic hepatitis including cirrhosis and hepatocellularcarcinoma (HCC) [1]. Alcohol is one of the independent cofactors accelerating the development of HCC in chronic hepatitis C patients. This is of great interest because a synergy between excessive alcohol intake and HCV infection has been documented in the development of HCC in chronic hepatitis C patients [2]. The aim of this study is to investigate liver changes in ethanol feeding HCV-transgenic (Tg) mouse and to establish an animal model system. (omitted)

During the past 10 years 114 patients with empyema have been treated in hospital of Chonnam University. There were 87 males and 27 females ranging from 20 days to 70 years of age. The etiology was pyogenic pneumonia in 36.7%, tuberculosis in 22.7%, paragonimiasis in 8.8%, post-thoracotomy in 5.4%, post-trauma in 4.4%, lung abscess in 3.5%, malignancy in 3.5%, post-esophageal operation in 1.8%, and sterile in 10.5%. The over-all mortality rate was 2% [3 patients]. The majority of deaths occurred in patients with associated systemic illness [liver cirrhosis in I, and renal tuberculosis in I] and resistant tuberculosis for anti-tuberculosis drugs in one patient. Adequate drainage and obliteration of the pleural space continues to be the most important aspect of treatment and can frequently be achieved by closed chest tube thoracostomy in acute empyema especially in children. The more chronic thick-walled or loculated cavities require open drainage [open window therapy], decortication, thoracoplasty, sterilization, and myoplasty for closure of tracheobronchial fistula.

In growing number of diseases it has been shown that the aggregation of specific proteins has an important role in the pathogenesis of the disorder. This has been demonstrated in structural detail with the liver cirrhosis of ${\alpha}$$_1$-antitrypsin deficiency, and it is now believed that similar protein aggregation underlies many neurodegenerative disorders such as autosomal dominant Parkinson disease, prion diseases, Alzheimer disease, Huntington disease.
