Cemento-osseous dysplasias are a group of disorders known to originate from periodontal ligament tissues and involve, essentially, the same pathological process. They are usually classified, depending on their extent and radiographic appearances, into three main groups. Periapical cemental dysplasia predominantly involves the periapical region of the anterior mandible. Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia presents with multifocal lesions in the tooth bearing or edentulous areas of the maxilla and mandible, often occurring bilaterally with symmetric involvement. Focal cemento-osseous dysplasia exhibits a single site of involvement in any tooth bearing or edentulous area of the mandible or maxilla, with the posterior mandible representing the most common site. We report the clinical, radiographic and histological findings of 3 types of cemento-osseous dysplasia with a review of literatures.

A 78-year-old man underwent laparoscopy-assisted total gastrectomy for gastric cancer (pT3N0M0). Multiple port sites were used, including a 10 mm port for a videoscope at the umbilical point and three other working ports. During the six-month follow-up evaluation, a 2 cm enhancing mass confined to the muscle layer was found 12 mm from the right lower quadrant port site, suggesting a metastatic or desmoid tumor. Follow-up computed tomography imaging two months later showed that the mass had increased in size to 3.5 cm. We confirmed that there was no intra-abdominal metastasis by diagnostic laparoscopy and then performed a wide resection of the recurrent mass. The histologic findings revealed poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, suggesting a metastatic mass from the stomach cancer. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient completed adjuvant chemotherapy with TS-1 (tegafur, gimeracil, and oteracil potassium). There was no evidence of tumor recurrence during the 50-month follow-up period.

In the reconstruction of the hard tissue defect of the oral cavity, the usefulness of the chin bone graft, one of the intraoral donor site, is gradually increased. The advantages include reduced resorption rate after graft due to its membranous bone nature, relatively ease to harvest under local anesthesia, reduced operative time because of the same operative field, decreased morbidity, and relatively large amount of bone can be harvested compared to other intraoral donor site. It has also postoperative complications including paresthesia of the lip or chin area, discomfort of lower anterior teeth, and facial swelling around chin area. Of these complications, facial swelling occurs more frequently, is more severe as a early postoperative discomfort, and prevents fast recover of patient's social activity since this procedure is generally accomplished in the outpatient base under local anesthesia. So we applied a modified " gull-wing" type incision to minimize this complication, and now we report this simple but effective surgical technique with clinically favorable result.

This report presents the results of the environmental radiation program at Korea Advanced Energy Research Institute (KAERI) ($37^{\circ}38'N,\;127^{\circ}05'E$) and its surroundings for the last two decades (January, 1961 through December, 1980). In the 1960s, the monthly mean levels of environmental external radiation encountered ranged from a low of 14.2 microroentgen per hour to a high of 42.2 microroentgen per hour with a mean of 21.7 microroentgen per hour, while in 1970s it ranged from a low of 12.4 microroentgen per hour to a high of 40.8 microroentgen per hour with a mean of 20.4 microroentgen per hour. It may, therefore, be said that environmental radiation dose rates remained almost unchanged for the two decades except for the second half of 1960s and the first half of 1970s during which the off-site and on-site patterns were frequently unlike in form and intensity with appreciable differences between average values. Particular results of interest with respect to the effects of the fallout gamma dose rate on environmental radiation show that elevated levels were encountered in association with the deposits of fresh debris from Chinese and Russian nuclear weapons tests in particular.

Melanoma can occur as a metastasis within subcutaneous tissue, lymph nodes, or viscera without a detectable primary tumor. Among patients with metastatic melanoma of unknown primary lesion, those with endobronchial metastasis are exceedingly rare. Herein we report a case of an endobronchial and pulmonary metastasis in a patient with melanoma originating from an unknown primary site. The patient without a previous history of melanoma presented with blood-tinged sputum. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy revealed a black polypoid tumor obstructing the posterior basal segmental bronchus of the right lower lobe. A final diagnosis of the malignant melanoma was made based on an immunohistochemical study of the bronchoscopic biopsy specimen. Skin, ophthalmic, oral, and nasal examinations failed to identify occult primary lesions. Subsequent evaluation including positron emission tomography/computed tomography scans did not uncover any abnormalities other than the metastatic pulmonary melanoma. We also describe the characteristic bronchoscopic features of melanoma.

Objective : This study is to report the effect of Scolopendrid Herbal Acupuncture on a patient suffering from the pain of Hip Adductors after operation for hip fracture. Methods : First we had treated the patient with the pain of Hip Adductors by acupuncture and herb medication(活絡湯), but we did't get remarkable improvement in condition of patient. So we added to treat his pain site with Scolopendrid Herbal Acupuncture. And then we evaluated his pain by VAS(Visual Analog Scale). Results : 1. Scolopendrid Herbal Acupuncture had a very excellent effect on relieving pain and inflammation of Hip Adductors after operation for hip fracture. 2. It appears that Scolopendrid Herbal Acupuncture is very effective against Trigger Point of muscle and pain site fixed.

Congenital coronary artery fistula is a rare condition, and with widespread use of cardiac catheterization, angiography and selective coronary arteriography are being recognized with increasing frequency. Fistula originating from the right coronary artery are more common then those from the left coronary artery. The fistula empties into the right side of the heart in 90% of the cases with the right ventricle being the most common recipient chamber followed by the right atrium and the pulmonary artery. Recently we experienced two cases of congenital coronary artery fistula which originated from the left coronary artery each other. The first case was 17 moth-old-male, who have had the symptoms of frequent URI, dyspnea and continuous murmur in physical examination. The fistulous communication was noted between the left circumflex coronary artery and the right ventricle with aneurysmal dilation of RV wall. The proximal opening of the fistulous tract was directly close with partial aneurysmorrhaphy of RV wall. Also the termination site of fistulous tract in RV chamber was closed. The second case was 35-year-old female, who have had the symptom of exertional dyspnea and continuous murmur in physical examination. The tortuous and dilated fistulous tract was noted between the left anterior descending coronary artery and the pulmonary artery. The proximal opening of the fistula was ligated near the left anterior descending coronary artery with preservation of normal continuity of coronary artery. And the dilated tortuous vessel was excised. Also the terminal site in pulmonary artery was directly closed just above the pulmonic valve. Postoperative hospital courses of two patients were uneventful without any specific complications and discharged without problems.

대동맥수술 후 대동맥질환의 재발은 주로 하부에 대동맥류의 형태로 나타나며 상부에 침투성 동맥경화성 궤양의 형태로 나타나는 것은 매우 드물다. 대동맥류 수술의 기왕력을 가진 환자에서 대동맥궁과 하행대동맥의 근위부에 걸쳐 발생한 침투성 동맥경화성 궤양의 파열을 완전순환정지 하에 인조혈관을 사용하여 패취봉합을 성공적으로 시행하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

기관식도루를 동반하지 않은 원간격결손 식도폐쇄증 1예를 미리 조성한 위루와 경구를 통하여 주기적 부지를 함으로써 식도길이를 확장하여 식도-식도단단문합술로 식도의 개통복원을 할 수 있었음을 경험하였다. 이때 상부식도맹단부로부터 이중관을 이용한 지속적인 섬프배액술이 경과에 아주 긴요하며, 수술시 식도길이의 여유를 위하여 식도근환상절개술을 한 후에는 근절개부위의 협착 발생 가능성에 항상 주의하여 술 후 조기(술 후 2-4주)에 추시함이 꼭 필요하다고 생각하였다. 식도부지를 할 때에는 길이 뿐만 아니라 직경확장(특히 하부식도에서)에도 관심을 갖이면 더욱 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있다고 판단된다.
