Objective: To compare the clinical efficacy of double intrauterine insemination with single intrauterine insemination in GnRH antagonist combined ovarian hyperstimulation (Mild ovarian hyperstimulation) Materials and Methods: From Jan. 2001 to Jul. 2004, a retrospective clinical analysis was done of a total of 295 cycles in 170 patients who underwent ovarian hyperstimulation for ART (assisted reproductive technique). Subjects were divided into three groups; only clomiphene citrate ovarian hyperstimulation (n=55, 95cycles), GnRH antagonist combined ovarian hyperstimulation (soft ovarian hyperstimulation) (n=66 99cycles), and GnRH agonist combined ovarian hyperstimulation (short protocol) (n=49, 101cycles) Each group were randomly devided into two subgroups. One group underwent single IUI and the other group underwent double IUI. Results: GnRH antagonist group and GnRH agonist group had similar pregnancy rate. In GnRH antagonist Group, pregnancy rate was 36.1% in single IUI subgroup and was 36.6% in double IUI subgroup. These finding were not statistically significant. And Pregnancy rate was 20.8% in single IUI subgroup and was 19.3% in double IUI subgroup in single clomiphene citrate group, and 36.3% in single IUI subgroup and was 33.3% in double IUI subgroup in GnRH agonist group. These finding were not statistically significant, too. Conclusion: Pregnancy rate of GnRH antagonist was high and complication rate such as OHSS and multiple pregnancy was lower. In GnRH antagonist group, to compare with single IUI and double IUI, the result do not statistically differ. So GnRH antagonist single injection with single IUI was relatively comparable ART in infertiliry patient.

A 16-year-old female Poodle with multiple mammary masses was referred to the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of Seoul National University. Radiographic finding indicated a round mass of soft tissue density at the ventral portion of the 4th-7th sternum, which was 7 cm in diameter and presented multiple mineralization within the mass. Cytologically, aspirate of the mammary mass was moderately cellular and revealed well-differentiated osteoblasts with moderately basophilic cytoplasm, various sized and eccentrically placed nuclei and distinct nucleoli. Osteoblasts interspersed with osteoid-suspected pink-staining intercellular matrix. Some cells displayed malignant features such as macronuclei, macronucleoli, binucleation, abnormal mitotic figures, anisocytosis and anisokaryosis. On which the mass was diagnosed as osteosarcoma. Histopathologic examinations of the mass were compatible with a diagnosis of osteosarcoma. The patient was treated with surgery alone. The patient died 45 days later from surgery.

The aim was to report a healthy live birth using re-vitrified-warmed cleavage-stage embryos derived from supernumerary warmed embryos after frozen embryo transfer (ET) in a patient with recurrent implantation failure (RIF). The case was a 39-year-old female with a history of polycystic ovarian syndrome and adenomyosis, along with RIF. After ovarian hyperstimulation, 33 cumulus-oocyte complexes were retrieved and fertilized with conventional in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection. Because of the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, 16 grade B and C embryos were vitrified. After 3 and 6 months, 3 and 4 B-C warmed embryos were transferred to the uterus, respectively. However, implantation did not take place. Ten months later, four embryos were warmed, two grade B 8-cell embryos were transferred, and two embryos were re-vitrified. One year later, the two re-vitrified cleavage-stage embryos were warmed, which resulted in a successful live birth. This finding showed that following first warming, it is feasible to refreeze supernumerary warmed embryos for subsequent ET in patients with a history of RIF.

The cytologic finding of proliferating trichilemmal tumor is not well documented and have difficulties in the cytological analysis of the fine needle aspirates. This rare dermatopathologic entity may be encountered during aspiration biopsy of subcutaneous masses, and is, occasionally, confused with other neoplasm, particulary squamous carcinoma owing to its close cytological resemblance. We report a case of proliferating trichilemmal tumor in the left breast. The patient is a woman and had a lump in the breast for 20 years. Fine needle aspiration revealed a few small clusters of squamoid cells in the background of amorphous and calcified material. After excisional biopsy, the mass was confirmed as proliferating trichilemmal tumor. The main cytologic features discriminating squamous cell carcinoma were bland nature of epithelial cells, absence of atypical dyskeratotic cells, and rich amount of amorphous material.

There are many kind of diagnostic entities in submandibular or neck masses, and we can set up treatment plan and estimate treatment result, prognosis by accurate diagnosis. By reasoning medical and dental history, physical examination, anatomical consideration of masses in submandibular or neck area, location of masses, laboratory and radiographic studies, we can formulate a clinical diagnosis or differential diagnosis. Although a clinical diagnosis might suffice in some instances, a definitive(microscopic) diagnosis is frequently required for proper treatment. In order to get some information about making accurate diagnosis and setting up appropriate treatment plan, we did clinical study and histopathologic classification of 82 patients who visited and were operated for submandibular masses at Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in Seoul National University Hospital from 1988 to 1992. The result were as follows : 1. Submandibular masses occured most frequently in forties and fifties, and there was no sex predilection. 2. Chief complaints were in order of mass, swelling, pain and consistency were soft mass, mobile hard mass, firm mass, diffuse swelling in descending order. 3. Most frequent pathologic finding was lymphadenitis. 4. Site of submandibular masses were submandible, neck, submental, retromandible in descending order, and there was no predilection between left and right side. 5. Accuracy rate between clinical impression and result was 51.2%.

The present study was carried out to examine the bone healing effect of a magnet as the feasibility test for clinical application. The surgical technique of tibia puncture was performed with male Sprague Dawley rats for investigating radiological and histological findings. The treated group was attached the magnet, and control group was attached the placebo magnet for 4, 6, and 8 weeks respectively. The rats were taken a radiograph for examining radiological findings on 2-weekly interval for 8 weeks. Also, the rats were partly euthanized for investigating histological findings on 2-weekly interval from 4 week to 8 week. In the magnet treated rats, the healing process of bone trauma was positively stimulated to compare with control rats.

In this report, we describe the incidental finding of an oropharyngeal mass in a patient who presented with a chief complaint of temporomandibular pain. The patient was initially evaluated by an otorhinolaryngologist for complaints of headaches, earache, and sinus congestion. Due to worsening headaches and trismus, he was further referred for the management of temporomandibular disorder. The clinical evaluation was uneventful except for limited mouth opening (trismus). An advanced radiological evaluation using magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mass in the nasopharyngeal/oropharyngeal region. The mass occupied the masticatory space and extended superioinferiorly from the skull base to the mandible. A diagnostic biopsy of the lesion revealed a long­standing human papilloma virus (HPV­16)­positive squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx. This case illustrates the need for the timely radiological evaluation of seemingly innocuous orofacial pain.

This is a report of leiomyoma in the esophagus. patient had suffered from mild intermittent dysphagia on eating without any other complaints. This complaint had been going for 45 days, but was not progressed. The esophagogram revealed an ovoid walnut-sized smooth filling defect in the midportion of the esophagus. The mucosal folds of the esophagus were not destroyed. A benign intramural tumor of the esophagus, such as leiomyoma, was suspected with X-ray finding and clinical features. On Aug. 13, 1976 a thoracotomy was performed at right 4th intercostal space. A firm, irregular shaped mass in the wall of the esophagus was enucleated by blunt dissection without any injury of the mucosa of the esophagus. The diagnosis of leiomyoma was confirmed with histopathological finding. Postoperative course was uneventful.

We experienced a case of esophageal leiomyoma recently in department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surg., Pusan Baik Hospital, Inje Medical College. Patient had suffered from dysphagia and chest discomfort for 2 years. The esophagogram showed an ovoid smooth filling defect in lower portion of the esophagus, mucosal fold of esophagus was not destroyed. A benign intramural tumor of the esophagus such as leiomyoma was suspected with X-ray finding and clinical features. Open thoracotomy was performed through the left 8th intercostal space. A firm egg sized mass in the well of lower esophagus was enucleated by blunt dissection with caution to avoid injury of the mucosa of the esophagus. The diagnosis of leiomyoma was confirmed with histopathological finding. Postoperative course was uneventful.
