Dermoid cyst is a developmental cyst that is lined by epidermis-like epithelium and contains dermal adnexal structures in the cyst wall. Dermoid cyst most occur in the eye brow although occasionally develop in other locations such as midline of the floor of the mouth, tongue, lip and buccal mucosa. The lesion is slow growing and painless without lympadenopathy. The contents of the dermoid cyst can be caseous or sebaceous. The size can vary from a few millimeters to 12cm in diameter. Histologically, dermoid cyst is lined by epidermis and adnexaes such as sweat gland, sebaceous glands and hair follicles are present in the cyst wall. The 2-year-old female of this case visited Department of Pediatric Dentistry, College of Dentistry, Yonsei University with a chief complaint of the emergence of mass on her upper lip. An excisional biopsy was carried out for a histological examination and sebaceous gland was observed in the cyst wall. The lesion was diagnosed as dermoid cyst. Dermoid cyst does not recur if complete excision is accomplished.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer and a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Although several diagnostic and therapeutic tools have been available, CRC remains difficult to complete cure because of insufficient understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying this disease progression. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules that strongly regulate gene expression via transcriptional and translational control mechanisms. Many crucial cellular pathways are frequently disrupted in cancer development process due to dysregulation of several miRNAs. Mir-31 functions as an oncogene that modulate expression of multiple cancer related genes. Thus, we aimed to demonstrate clinical relevance of miR-31 in human CRC. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis of miR-31 expression was performed in 175 CRC tissues and 16 normal colonic mucosa (NM). Next, we investigated clinical significances of miR-31 expression in various clinicopathologic features in CRC patients cohort. Mir-31 was significantly up-regulated in CRC tissues compared to NM. In CRC tissues, miR-31 expression level was significantly elevated in a stage-dependent manner, which was associated with poor survival in patients with CRC. High miR-31 levels in CRC tissues significantly correlated with poor prognosis (hazard ratio [HR]=2.4) as well as distant metastasis (odds ratio [OR]=2.3). In conclusion, we identified clinical significance of miR-31 expression in CRC. High miR-31 expression may be clinically able to use as a biomarker for CRC prognosis and predicting metastasis.

While machines can replace general industries, it is impossible to do so in service industries in which require various contacts with clients. As automated system would not work in service industries, it requires more of reliance to human resources than other industries. The services done here for customers are consequently reflected to the level of customers' satisfaction and business performance. Thus, highly qualified services are important factors for the success in the industry, but the problem here is that there is not enough care for employees providing those services. Therefore, this study analyzes employees' personalities and shows how those affect to job satisfaction and organizational commitment. It also aims at showing present problems in companies. MBTI, a test showing one's character, has been applied for the analysis, and surveys have been provided to employees to see how their personalities affect to job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Through this process, job satisfaction in accordance with one's character and organizational commitment is partially similar, and the hypothesis assuming that there is interrelationship between job satisfaction and organizational commitment was proved.

Experiments were carried out to clarify changes of intercellular gas composition, respiration and ethylene evolution by controlled external atmospheric pressure and external gas composition on apples. Jonathan apples, harvested 25, in September and Rolls apples, harvested 25, in October, 1971 and 1972 were used. Results obtained were as follows: 1. Intercellular gas volumes were proportionally changed by the given pressure, and the given pressure remarkably affected internal gas composition and volume of apples. As intercellular gas volumes were reached in their equilibrium within 5 min. after treatment, the internal atmospheric conditions became constant rapidly. 2. The increase of internal $CO_2$ production was co-related with an amount of internal $O_2$ consumption, therefore, the decreasing period of internal $O_2$ consumption was equalled to the period of climacteric rise in respiration. 3. The increasing of $CO_2$ production followed evolution of $C_2$H$_4$ and this phenomenon on SAP part. was subsequent to NAP part 4. In sub-atmospheric storage, CA effect was also obtained by control of low $O_2$ and high $CO_2$ concentration.

A 25-year-old female patient was adimitted due to discomfort in the right chest and left epigastric area. Chest X-ray and chest CT showed a round 4$\times$4$\times$4cm sized mass located in the right lower lobe and abutted on the right diaphragm and metastatic lesions in the right lower lobe and right middle lobe. In exploratory thoracotomy, we discovered a mass originating from the right diaphragm which directly invaded the right lower lobe and metastatic subpleural lesions in the right lower lobe and right middle lobe. The mass was diagnosed as sarcoma by frozen section biopsy and we removed the mass by on bloc resection of the right diaphragm and right lower lobe. Metastatic subpleural lesions in the right lower lobe and right middle lobe were removed by wedge resection. The mass was malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the diaphragm in permanent pathologic examination and chemotherapy was done as adjuvant measure. We report one extremely rare case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the diaphragm with literature.

취장 외분비 기능 부전은 임상적으로 영양결핍, 발육부전, 지방변동을 유발하나 이의 치료로는 결려된 소화효소 보충 등 보존적 요법만 시행될 뿐 근본적인 치료법은 없는 실정이다. 지난해 과제는 합성 단백분해 억제물질인 Camostat이 취장의 비대와 중식을 일으키며 또한 단백분해 효소분비를 증가시킴을 보고한 바 있다. 이를 토대로 최근 보고된 실험적 취장 외분비기능 부전 모델을 이용하여 camostat의 효과를 검색하고자 하였으며 아울러 이를 CCK효과와 비교하였다. 실험동물로는 몸무게 200 g 안팎의 수컷 Sprague-Dawley계 흰쥐를 사용하였으며 취장기능 부전은 oleic acid (25 $\mu$/100 g bw)를 취관내 주입하여 유발하였다. Camostat은 200 mg/kg씩 위내 투여(i.g.)하였으며 CCK(CCK-8)는 5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg씩 하루 2회 피하주사하였고 투여기간은 각각 3, 7, 14 일간으로 하였다. 각 약물 투여 후 취장 외분비 기능과 조직학적 검색을 실시하여 다음과 같온 결과를 얻었다. 1. Oleic acid의 취관내 주입으로 흰쥐의 취장 무게, 조직내 효소단백 함량 및 효소분비량이 현저히 감소되었고 조직학적으로 심한 위축과 섬유화를 관찰할 수 있었으며 이는 주입 후 기간이 지남에 따라 계속 진행하였다. 2. 취장기능 부전 유발 흰쥐에서 camostat 처치로 조직내 효소단백 함량 및 효소분비가 증가 되었으며 이는 14일간 처치군에서 뚜렷하였다. 3. 취장 기능부전 유발 횐쥐에서 camostat 처치는 조직학적으로 기능적인 외분비 조직이 유지되었으며 이는 3일군에서 특히 뚜fut하였다. 4. 취장기능부전 유발 횐쥐에서 CCK 처치효과는 camostat 처치효과와 비슷하였다. 이상의 결과로 보아 oleic acid 주입은 취장기능부전 연구에 유용한 실험모델로 생각되며 합성 단백 분해 효소 억제제인 Camostat은 취장외분비 기능 부전의 진행을 억제하고 어느정도 그 기능을 호전시킬 수 있으며 이는 CCK유리에 기인한다고 생각한다.
