A 13-year-old neutered male Poodle dog was presented with a third eyelid mass in the left eye. The dog had undergone local resection of the mass about a year prior in a private practice. On cytological examination, the mass was diagnosed as adenocarcinoma. Although lung and lymph node metastases were suspected, based upon the computed tomographic results, exenteration was performed to relieve chronic pain and to improve the dog's quality of life. Exenteration carried a good prognosis with no tumor recurrence until 1 year and 10 months after surgery, when local recurrence occurred near the left zygomatic arch.

A 37 year-old male presented with sudden right proptosis and bilateral nasal obstruction. A huge tumor was noted in bilateral nasal cavities, ethmoid sinuses and central frontal sinus on magnetic resonance imaging. Right posterior frontal sinus wall and bilateral medial orbital wall was destructed by the tumor. Complete resection of the tumor was performed via minimal invasive craniofacial resection. Histopaghologic examination revealed sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma (SNUC). Cerebrospinal fluid leakage was developed after 2 days of the surgery. On the 5th day, anterior skull base was reconstructed with forearm free flap (FFF). The patient got 6000cGy of radiotherapy and survived in 27 months of follow up.

Purpose: Sclerosing lipogranuloma is an unusal benign condition of the genitalia following injections into the genitalia with exogenous paraffin or mineral oil. A few cases have been reported in which sclerosing lipogranuloma of the lid was caused by paraffin-containing ointment plugs after the endonasal sinus surgery. A 52-year-old man presented with a painless hard mass of the right lower lid after the MRI scan at the Ophthalmology department. Nine months before, he had undergone right maxilla sinus surgery through the oral incision. And he was also gotten nasal packing with Vaseline gauze after the surgery. Methods: The round shaped two masses in the Right lower lid were approximately $1.0{\times}1.0cm$ in size. There were no size or color change, bleeding and ulceration. The MRI scan showed a suspicious part of an abscess of benign tumor. Also, He was planned cyst remove through the endonasal surgery due to the mucoid cyst in the right maxillary sinus in the ENT dept. Under the general anesthesia, the patient underwent surgical excision through a subcilliary incision with endonasal sinus surgery. The masses were in deep subcutaneous orbital fat with no connection with right maxillary sinus. Results: The masses were excised $2.1{\times}0.7cm$ in size including surrounding necrotic fatty tissue. Histopathological diagnosis was 'sclerosing lipogranuloma' due to paraffin or similar substance with fat necrosis and cystic change. This tissue was positive in PAS, S-100, CD68 reaction. Conclusion: It is extremely rare to find a granulomatous orbital lesion arising to a endonasal surgery. In conclusion, if sclerosing lipogranuloma is suspected excisional biopsy should be undertaken. Surgery should be reserved for recurrent or refractory cases when steroids have failed as first-line treatment at the 6-month follow-up examination, There was no complication or recurrence.

안와 내에서 안구의 상대적 위치는 여러 병적인 상태를 짐작할 수 있는 하나의 기준이 될 수 있다. 특히 안와골절, 갑상선 안질환, 안와 종양 등의 진단과 이에 약물 및 수술적 치료의 결과를 판단하는데 유용하다. 현재 안구 돌출 값을 측정하기 위해 주로 사용되는 대표적 측정 기기인 Hertel과 Naugle 안구돌출계 등은 검사자가 다를 경우, 같은 검사자가 반복적으로 측정하더라도 검사할 때마다 안와의 고정부위가 달라지는 등 측정자에 의한 오차가 필연적이다. 또한 동일한 안구 돌출 계라고 하더라도 제조 회사가 다르다면 안와의 고정부위 디자인이 달라 검사자에의한 측정 오차가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 안구돌출값의 측정을 3차원 영상 측정기술인 백색광 간섭계를 이용하여 검사 정밀도 및 반복 정도를 크게 올릴 수 있는 자동 측정 방법에 대한 연구를 제안하고자 한다.

Objective: To investigate the therapeutic potential of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) as a vaccine to induce an immune response and provide antitumor protection in a rat model. Methods: Cross-reactivity of antigens between hESCs and tumour cells was screened by immunohistochemistry. Fischer 344 rats were divided into 7 groups, with 6 rats in each, immunized with: Group 1, hESC; Group 2, pre-inactivated mitotic NuTu-19; Group 3 PBS; Group 4, hESC; Group 5, pre-inactivated mitotic NuTu-19; Group 6, PBS; Group 7, hESC only. At 1 (Groups 1-3) or 4 weeks (Groups 4-6) after the last vaccination, each rat was challenged intraperitoneally with NuTu-19. Tumor growth and animal survival were closely monitored. Rats immunized with H9 and NuTu-19 were tested by Western blot analysis of rat orbital venous blood for cytokines produced by Th1 and Th2 cells. Results: hESCs presented tumour antigens, markers, and genes related to tumour growth, metastasis, and signal pathway interactions. The vaccine administered to rats in Group 1 led to significant antitumor responses and enhanced tumor rejection in rats with intraperitoneal inoculation of NuTu-19 cells compared to control groups. In contrast, rats in Group 4 did not display any elevation of antitumour responses. Western blot analysis found cross-reactivity among antibodies generated between H9 and NuTu-19. However, the cytokines did not show significant differences, and no side effects were detected. Conclusion: hESC-based vaccination is a promising modality for immunotherapy of ovarian cancer.

Background Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by xerosis, ultraviolet light sensitivity, and cutaneous dyspigmentation. Due to defects in their DNA repair mechanism, genetic mutations and carcinogenesis inevitably occurs in almost all patients. In these patients, reconstruction of cutaneous malignancies in the head and neck area is associated with some challenges such as likelihood of recurrence and an aggressive clinical course. The aim of this study is to discuss the therapeutic options and challenges commonly seen during the course of treatment. Methods Between 2005 and 2015, 11 XP patients with head and neck cutaneous malignancies were included in this study. Demographic data and treatment options of the patients were evaluated. Results The mean age of the patients was 32 years (range, 10-43) (4 males, 7 females). The most common tumor type and location were squamous cell carcinoma (6 patients) and the orbital region (4 patients), respectively. Free tissue transfer was the most commonly performed surgical intervention (4 patients). The average number of surgical procedures was 5.5 (range, 1-25). Six patients were siblings with each other, 5 patients had local recurrences, and one patient was lost to follow-up. Conclusions Although genetic components of the disease have been elucidated, there is no definitive treatment algorithm. Early surgical intervention and close follow-up are the gold standard modalities due to the tendency toward rapid tumor growth and possible recurrence. Treatment must be individualized for each patient. In addition, the psychological aspect of the disease is an important issue for both patients and families.

Purpose: Many advances have been made in lower eyelid reconstruction surgical procedures after tumor ablative therapy. These include skin grafts, local flaps, free flaps, and skin expansion. When a full-thickness defect of the lower eyelid is reconstructed with many free flaps, ectropion and deformity of the medial and lateral canthal areas are common late complications caused by gravitational descent. The radial forearm free flap is widely used because of its lack of bulk, ease of dissection, malleability, and hairlessness. This report introduces a novel method for preventing ectropion using a composite radial forearm free flap reconstruction and palmaris longus suspension technique. Methods: A 70-year-old man had a malignant melanoma on his left lower eyelid. The patient was referred to our department after a biopsy confirmed the initial diagnosis. A full-thickness wide resection with a 25 mm free margin was performed, and a $5{\times}8cm$ radial forearm flap was elevated with a vascularised palmaris longus tendon. The palmaris longus tendon was fixed to the medial and lateral orbital rim perisoteum and the deep temporal fascia. The buccal mucosa was grafted to reconstruct the inner conjunctival layer. The pedicle vessels were anastomosed to the left superficial temporal artery and vein. Results: The postoperative clinical course was uneventful. The flap showed good texture and color match. No ectropion was noted 14 months after surgery and the tumor did not recur. The patient was quite satisfied with the final outcomes. Conclusion: Use of a radial forearm free flap and the palmaris longus tendon is an effective method for a full-thickness lower eyelid reconstruction.

DNA photodamage mediated by photosensitizers are believed to play an important role in solar UVA carcinogenesis. We investigated the relationship between the DNA-damaging abilities of photoexcited xanthone analogues (as photosensitizers) and their highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energies. DNA damage was examined using /sup 32/P-labeled DNA fragments obtained from the p53 tumor suppressor gene. These compounds induced DNA photodamage in a similar manner, and the extents of DNA damage were following order: xanthone> thioxanthone > acridone. Photoexcited xanthone caused nucleobase oxidation specifically at 5'-G of GG sequence in double-stranded DNA. An oxidative product of 2'-deoxyguanosine, 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), was detected, and the amount was decreased by DNA denaturation. These findings suggest that photoexcited xanthone generates 8-OHdG at 5'-G of GG in double-stranded DNA through electron transfer. The calculated HOMO energies of these photosensitizers decreased in the following order: xanthone> thioxanthone > acridone. This study has demonstrated that DNA-damaging abilities of these photosensitizers increased exponentially with an increase in their HOMO energies.
