Primary neoplasms of the pericardium are rarer than those originating within the myocardium or endocardium and, moreover, primary benign tumors of the pericardium are of much rare occurence. Mahaim[1945] was able to collect 84 cases of pericardial tumors, the majority of which were malignant. A case of primary benign fibromyxoma of the pericardium is presented. This tumor arouse in the right anterior aspect of the pericardium, through which the phrenic nerve was penetrated. The tumor was measured 10X6X6 cm in size and 120 gm in weight. Total excision of the mass was accomplished by antero-lateral thotacotomy incision, resulting complete cure. This is the first case of primary benign fibromyxoma of the pericardium on literatures in our knowledge.

Purpose: Heterotopic calcification is the abnormal deposition of calcium salts in tissues other than bone and enamel, and it occurs in the form of dystrophic calcification or metastatic calcification. This deposition can occur under many conditions, but in some rare cases, it may develop in burns and nonhealed scars. It is difficult to treat the combination of heterotopic calcification and ulceration in scar tissues by using conservative therapy and to determine the margin of excision in such cases. Our study proposes the use of intraoperative C-arm-guided mapping of lesions with heterotopic calcification, and adequate excision of ulcers in chronic scars where heterotopic calcification is also observed. Methods: This study included 2 patients and was conducted from January 2010 to July 2010. The first patient was a 63-year-old woman who presented with atypical calcium deposits and chronic ulceration in the lower one-third region of the right leg. The second patient was a 38-year-old man who presented with a nonhealing ulcer that had developed on the right leg 3 months earlier he had a history of 40% scalding burns on the entire body. Surgery is the most reliable method for treating heterotopic calcification therefore, both patients were treated using intraoperative C-arm-guided marginal mapping of heterotopic calcification, followed by release of contracture, and eventually split-thickness skin grafting. Results: Plain radiographs of the leg showed spotty radiopaque areas in the hard part of the scar well superficial to the underlying bones. Histopathological analysis revealed multiple foci of calcified deposits, increased fibrosis, and inflammation in the scar tissue. Surgery-related complications were not observed. Conclusion: C-arm guided excision of calcified scars and the release of contracture can cure nonhealing ulcers and may therefore prevent recalcification.

Objectives : To report three cases of eye movement impairment: internuclear ophthalmoplegia (INO) due to pontine infarction, traumatic abducens nerve palsy, and abducens nerve involvement in Miller-Fisher syndrome. Cases Summary : There were three cases. First, a 64-year-old woman, who was given a diagnosis of INO due to pontine infarction, had left gaze palsy of her right eye while the convergence was intact. Second, a 34-year-old man had abduction impairment of his right eye after a traffic accident. Third, a 66-year-old man, who was diagnosed with Miller-Fisher syndrome, had left gaze palsy of his left eye. Their symptoms improved substantially and their anxieties were relieved after treatment with herbal medicine and acupuncture. Conclusions : There has been no certain cure for eye movement impairment yet. In this report, we present three successful cases of patients with eye movement impairment and show that Korean medical treatment could be a solution for this incurable disease.

Objectives : To evaluate the foot indices using dynamic and static checking on healthy adult people. Methods : Foot indices analysis was performed for 46 students. Static checking practiced for Foot Pressure(FP) and Toe Pressure Difference(TPD) and dynamic checking was used for Vertical Axis Angle(VAA). Results : On gender, there was generally no statical significant difference, except RFP(Right Foot Pressure). The RFP of male was bigger than that of female. On age, in addition, there was similar tendency, only RFP had a positive correlation (r=0.35, p<0.05). Comparing foot indices on right and left, we found TPD and VAA had a tendency of pronation on left, but FP had a opposite tendency. On consistency of each foot index, discrepancy between TPD and VAA (39.47%) was lesser than combination of the others. Conclusions : According to foot indices among 46 healthy student, we found out that there is partially correlation between dynamic and static checking. We hope that the data we found will contribute to standardization of podiatry indices which provide medical guidance for cure of foot disease, supporting further podiatry research.

The author have studied on the pulp responses to the electric pulp stimulator (Pyo-Cure)(R) in the primary molar age from 4 to 11 of the 186 children (male 100, female 86). The total numbers of teeth used in this study were 1096. The results were as follows ; 1. The difference in responses between the teeth of the male and female was not statistically significant. 2. The difference in responses between the teeth of the right and left sides was not statistically significant. 3. The difference in responses between the teeth of the upper and lower jaws was not statistically significant. 4. The responses of the teeth in the older age is higher than its of the early age. 5. Inspite of advanced root resorption of the primary molars, except severe root resorption, the responses of the teeth was higher according to increasing the age. 6. The responses of the teeth were decreased severely in the primary molars as it becomes exfoliation time.

Sopung-san(SPS; prescription No. DO27), a herbal medicine prescribed by oriental hospital of Daegu fanny University, has been used as cure for pruritus and psoriasis. To evaluate anti-inflammatory effect of Sopung-san, we treated Sopung-san extract in animal model system induced contact hypersensitivity. Contact hypersensitivity, a local inflammatory response of the skin, was induced by 1% DNCB on the right ear of BALB/C mouse. Sopung-san was prepared as water extract and administrated everyday for 2 weeks per oral. A right ear of mouse was potently swelled by 1% of DNCB treatment, but a mouse ear thickness was significantly reduced by Sopung-san after 2 weeks. treatment. Sopung-san reduced IgG in serum obtained from blood of 1 % DNCB-treated mouse. IgE in serum was not changed by DNCB and/or Sopung-san treatment. $IL-1{\beta}$ and IL-6 from ear tissue were significantly increased by DNCB, Dut were not reduced by Sopung-san. From these results, anti-inflammatory effect of Sopung-san, especially reduction of ear swelling, might be partly due to reduction of IgG in serum.

1981년 5월${\sim}$9월까지 부산시 3개 순환여과식 양식잉어와 1982년 5월과 7월${\sim}$9월까지 부산수산대학의 양어지와 낙동강에 서식하고 있는 잉어 및 물을 시료로 해서 약제내성균을 조사했다. 약제내성균의 검출률은 외국에 비하면 적은 숫자이기는 하지만 증가경향을 띄고 있으며 또 내성정도도 강해지고 있었다. 따라서 우리 나라에서도 약제내성균의 증가를 방지하기 위해 좋은 환경에서 어류를 사육하고 질병의 정확한 진단과 처방 및 투약에 의해서 치료함은 물론, 근본적으로 약제남용을 하지 않는 것이 최선의 길이 될 것이다.

Spindle cell squamous cell carcinoma (SpSCC) is a biphasic tumor composed of squamous cell epithelial and spindle cell mesenchymal components, both of which are malignant. Cutaneous SpSCC can cause diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties because of its rarity, heterogeneity, morphological similarity to other cutaneous spindle cell neoplasms, and uncertain pathogenesis and prognosis, particularly when the squamous cell carcinoma component is minimal or missing. Intransit metastasis and satellite lesion (satellitosis) constitute a spectrum of non-nodal regional metastases. Here the author reports the first known case of cutaneous SpSCC presenting with intransit metastases and a satellite lesion, which were exceptionally aggressive. A 77-year-old female patient presented with a 3×3×0.5 cm mass on her right cheek. Despite wide excision and postoperative radiation, the patient resulted in local recurrence and multiple distant metastases within 3 months. If many high-risk factors-particularly satellitosis and in-transit metastases are observed in a tumor with epithelial to mesenchymal transition, then further wide excision and adjuvant chemoradiation should be considered early in the treatment process. A multidisciplinary approach could be the key to cure the most aggressive malignancies of the skin, as in other organs.
