This paper describes the computed tomographic features of ovarian masses in dogs. The CT images of female dogs with a confirmed histological diagnosis of ovarian tumors or ovarian cystic diseases were studied retrospectively. Seven dogs met the inclusion criteria. The morphological features of ovarian tumors and ovarian cystic diseases coincided to a certain degree, but ovarian tumors tended to be predominantly solid. Objective measurements of Hounsfield units (HU) suggest that benign lesions may show lower HU values than malignant tumors and mild contrast enhancement because of the small soft tissue composition. CT is useful for a differential diagnosis of ovarian masses by providing additional information on the imaging features of the masses and an evaluation of metastases.

This is a clinical, retrospective review of 66 cases of the Adenoid cystic carcinoma who were treated at the Department of Surgery, Presbyterian Medical Center, Chonju during the past 20 years from January, 1971 to December, 1990. The results were obtained as follows; 1) The most common malignant tumor in the minor salivary gland was adenoid cystic carcinoma and it's incidence was 57.6% (38 cases). 2) The most common site of adenoid cystic carcinoma in the major salivary gland was parotid gland with the incidence of 22.7% (15 cases). 3) The peak age of patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma was 5th decade(30.3%) and others' peak age except adenoid cystic carcinoma was 6th decade(35.9%). 4) The duration of symptoms of adenoid cystic carcinoma patient was less than one year in the minor salivary gland, comprising 21 cases(55.3 %) and more than one year in 18 cases(64.9 %) of the major salivary gland carcinoma. 5) According to histologic grades of 66 cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma, Grade I was 15 cases and Grade II 19 cases, Grade III 5 cases. Other 27 cases were undetermined. 6) The incidence of cervical lymphnode metastasis of 39 cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma classified into histologic grades was 0% in Grade I, 10.5% in Grade II and 20% in Grade III. 7) The incidence of nerve invasion confirmed histologically was 20% in Grade I, 63.2% in Grade II and 100% in Grade III. It was significant(p<0.01). 8) The local recurrence rate was 26.7% in Grade I, 47.4% in Grade II and 60% in Grade III. The lung was the commonest site for distant metastasis comprising 14 cases among 19 cases in which distant spread occurred. 9) 5 year determinate disease-free survival rate according to the histologic grade was 57.1% in Grade I, 27.3% in Grade II and 25.0% in Grade III. 10) The determinate 5-year survial rate of adenoid cystic carcinoma was 71.4% in the only curative surgery group, 70.6% in the combined treatment group of surgery and postoperative irradiation, 66.7% in the combined treatment group of surgery with postoperative irradiation and chemotherapy, and 33.3 % in the non-curative treatment group. 11) The average size of tumor was 3.6cm in Grade I, 4.8cm in Grade II and 4.5cm in Grade III.

Congenital Cystic Lung Disease is a spectrum of closed related anomalies that arise during an early stage of embryonic lung bud maturation-namely bronchogenic cyst, congenital lobar emphysema, pulmonary sequestration and congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation. And they show similar surgical strategies. So they are called as the term bronchopulmonary-foregut malformations, firstly proposed by Gerle[1968]. From Aug. 1979 to Aug 1989, 47 patients were operated upon on Dept. of Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgery at the CUMC. There were 21 females and 26 males ranging in age from age of 21 day to age of 56 year [15 cases under 15 years old]. 30 patients had bronchogenic cysts - 23 of intrapulmonary type, 7 of mediastinal type in location. Affected lobes and locations were as follows: 11 in upper lobe, 3 in middle lobe, 11 in lower lobe and anterosuperior, middle, and posterior mediastinal type were 3, 2, 2 respectively. There were 9 pulmonary sequestrations[all intralobar type] with the distribution of 5 in right lower lobe and 4 in left lower lobe. And associated anomalies were presented with arterial supply originating from thoracic aorta[8 cases], abdominal aorta[1 case] and with venous drainage into azygos vein[1 case]. They all were operated upon lower lobectomy [8 case], pneumonectomy[1 case] in case of pulmonary hypoplasia Congenital lobar emphysema and congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation had 4 cases respectively. Their affected lobes were as follows: the former were 3 in upper lobes, 1 in middle lobe and the latter were 3 in upper lobe, 1 in lower lobe. They were treated with lobectomy and segmentectomy. Diagnosis was aided by chest X - ray, bronchography, aortography, DSA and CT scan, They all were confirmed by pathologic exams. There were no hospital death but few minor morbidities such as, atelectasis-pneumonia[2], wound infection[2], prolonged chest tube placement[2]. We experienced surgical treatments of 47 cases for 10 years and reported them with literature review.

The differentiation of pluripotent stem cells has been used to study disease mechanisms and development. We previously described a method for differentiating human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) into salivary gland epithelial progenitors (SGEPs). Here, cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) knockout hPSCs were differentiated into SGEPs derived from CFTR knockout hESCs (CF-SGEPs) using the same protocol to investigate whether the hPSC-derived SGEPs can model the characteristics of CF. CF-a disease that affects salivary gland (SG) function-is caused by mutations of the CFTR gene. Firstly, we successfully generated CFTR knockout hPSCs with reduced CFTR protein expression using the CRISPR-Cas9 system. After 16 days of differentiation, the protein expression of CFTR decreased in SGEPs derived from CFTR knockout hESCs (CF-SGEPs). RNA-Seq revealed that multiple genes modulating SG development and function were down-regulated, and positive regulators of inflammation were up-regulated in CF-SGEPs, correlating with the salivary phenotype of CF patients. These results demonstrated that CFTR suppression disrupted the differentiation of hPSC-derived SGEPs, which modeled the SG development of CF patients. In summary, this study not only proved that the hPSC-derived SGEPs could serve as manipulable and readily accessible cell models for the study of SG developmental diseases but also opened up new avenues for the study of the CF mechanism.

A retrospective analysis was performed to assess the relationship between the treatment modalities and treatment results in patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma of the maxillary sinus. From Feb. 1977 to March 1994, 10 patients with the disease were treated at the Department of Radiation Oncology, Yonsei Cancer Center, Yonsei University College of Medicine. Six men and 4 women were presented with median age of 57 years. According to AJCC TNM system, all patients except one had advanced T3 and T4 disease. Only one patient had the regional metastasis to lymph node but none of them had hematogenous metastasis on initial admission. One patient(Group 1) was treated with surgery alone, 3 patients(Group 2) were treated with definitive radiotherapy and 6 patients(Group 3) were treated with combination of surgery and radiotherapy. One patient who was treated with surgery alone had experienced a locoregional recurrence 9 months later and 3 patients who were treated with radiation therapy alone had PRs(partial response) followed by the subsequent progression of the local disease. Whereas all patients who were treated with combination of surgery and radiation therapy had CRs(complete response). Among them, only one patient was recurred in the primary site, who was salvaged by reoperation and reirradiation therapy. In conclusion, combination of surgery and radiotherapy resulted in the best treatment modality for adenoid cystic carcinoma of the maxillary sinus. Improved radiotherapy technique and development of multimodality treatment are needed to improve the local control and the survival rate in patients with advanced adenoid cystic carcinoma of the maxillary sinus.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of larynx is a rare disease, accounting for less than 1% of laryngeal malignancies, These tumors arise almost exclusively in the subglottic and supraglottic regions, while the proportion of glottic ACCs is small. We describe a case of a young man with a subglottis adenoid cystic carcinoma, The patient underwent laryngeal microscopic surgery and radiotherapy, Five years after radiotherapy, local recurrence and distant metastasis Clung and kidney) was detected and he underwent palliative chemotherapy and local treatment. He is still alive for seven years after the initial diagnosis. The treatment strategies for laryngeal ACC are still controversial due to the rarity of the condition. We suggest that multimodality approach may be helpful in deciding a treatment option, and thorough and consistent follow-up for recurrence is mandatory for these patients.

Chiari's networks are present in 1.5% to 4% of the population. They are a congenital disease characterized by a remnant of the right valve of sinus venosus and rarely have clinical significance. Chiari's network, as the name implies, has network-like shape, but there are other forms of appearance. We have experienced a case of a 60-year-old woman who had a cystic mass on the right atrium. Surgical treatment was performed forthe mass removal and differential diagnosis of the mass. There was no evidence of other tumor, but Chiari's network. As cystic form of Chiari's network have not been reported before, it is the first report of cystic form of Chiari's network.

Holstein cows being raised in the Kangweon district were examined on the breeding status and occurrence of reproductive disorder. The results obtained were as follows; 1. The cows above six years old in the alpine area were raised more than those in high level zone and plate zone. 2. A total of 1,350 Holstein cows were examined on the breeding status. They were 71.9% conceived cows, 7.9% of uncertain1$\frac{1}{2}$ regnancy, 7.0 of physiological vacancy and 13.3 of reproductive disorder. 3. The percentage of cows conceived by 1, 2, 3 and more than 4 times of A.I. was 49.9, 29.2, 13.3 and 7.6, respectively. 4. In the nutritional condition of infertile coes, excellent, good, fair and poor were 6.7, 30.2, 34.1 and 29.1, respectively. In the good and fair nutritional condition, the cows of ovarian syndrome were 15.6% of persistent corpus luteum, and 11.7% of follicular cystic ovary and lutein cystic ovary, respectively. 5. Among 179 inferTile cows, distributions of reproductive disorder were 43.0, 39.1, 3.9, 3.9 and 10.1% in ovary, uterus vagina, oviduct and others, respectively. Ovary showed higher percentage than any other reproductive organs. Among the ovarian syndromes, follicular cystic ovary, lutein cystic ovary and persistent corpus luteum were 28.6, 28.6 and 23.4%, respectively. 6. A cow group of six and seven-year old showed the highest percentage(21.0% and 23.3%) among the age groups in infertile cows. In the syndrome of reproductive disorder, catarrhal endometritis, latent endometritis, follicular cystic ovary and lutein cystic ovary were 14.5, 14.0, 12.3 and 12.3%, respectively. 7. Infertile cows with complex syndrome of genital disease was 31.8%.

Clinical and pathologic data were reviewed in 20 patients who had have surgery for isolated aortic valvular heart disease between April 1978 and April, 1987. Hospital mortality was 10%, with no additional late mortality during a mean follow-up period of 24.1 months. Prosthetic valve failure developed in 3 patients and two had reoperation. Niety four percent of the survivors who were in NYHA Funtional class III or IV before operation are now in class I or II. Ninety percent of all patients are still alive at a maximum follow up of 9 years. The clinical histories, gross and histologic examination of valves estabilished the causes for isolated aortic valve disease: 3 rheumatic, 2 congenital bicuspid, 2 hypertention, 2 aortitis and each one case of floppy valve, medial cystic necrosis of aorta, bacterial endocarditis. But etiology was unknown in 8 cases. Sixteen patietns had myxoid degeneration, defined as significant disruption of the valve fibrosa and its replacement by acid mucosaccharides and cystic changes. Myxoid degeneration was also the primary pathologic abnormality in the patients with 2 hypertention, 2 rheumatic, 1 aortitis, 1 bacterial endocarditis, 1 floppy valve, 1 congenital bicuspid. The patients with myxoid degeneration of uncertain origin were 8. Histologic finding of all of them revealed nonspecific patients with myxoid degeneration of uncertain orgin were 8. Histologic finding of all of them revealed nonspecific chronic valvulitis with myxoid degeneration. This finding may indicate that the etiology w uld be infectious.

목적 : 낭포성 신질환은 다양한 임상증상, 조직학적 소견 및 예후를 나타내는 질환군이다. 이 질환은 종류에 따라 임상 증상이 발현되는 시기나 나타나는 신질환의 정도가 다르다. 유전성 또는 발달장애가 원인인 낭포신이 있고, 소아에서는 드물지만, 성인에서는 후천성으로 생기는 낭포신이 있다. 다양한 원인에도 불구하고 낭포형성의 과정은 비슷한 것으로 알려져 있다. 최근들어 영상진단의 발달로 본 질환의 조기 진단이 가능해졌으나 아직 그 치료는 만족스럽지 못하다. 본 연구에서는 낭포성 신질환의 분포, 빈도, 동반기형, 발견동기, 치료 및 예후에 대해서 알아보고자 한다. 방법 : 1986년 1월부터 1996년 12월까지 11년간 18세 미만의 낭포성 신질환 환아 44명을 대상으로 임상 기록지를 토대로 후향적 고찰을 시행하였다. 결과 : 1) 낭포성 신질환 환아 44명중 다발성 낭포성 이형성 신(multicystic dysplastic kidney)이 31명(71%)으로 가장 많았고, 다낭포 신(polycystic kidney)이 7명(16%)이었으며 이들 모두 상염색체 열성 유전 다낭포신(Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease)이었다. 단순 신낭포(simple cyst)는 5명(11%)이었으며 수질성 해면신 (medullary sponge kidney)이 1명 있었다. 2) 다발성 낭포성 이형성 신 환아 31명중 11명(35%)이 암종과의 감별 및 복부 팽만 등의 이유로 신절제술을 시행받았다. 3) 전체 낭포성 신질환 환아중 14명(32%)이 신생아 시기에 발견되어 진단만 받았을뿐 더이상 검사나 추적관찰을 하지 않았다. 4) 전 예에서 신부전의 증거는 없었다. 결론 : 본 연구결과 낭포성 신질환의 정확한 발생빈도는 알 수 없었으나 그 발생 기전과 분류 및 치료기준에 대한 지속적인 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다.ed cord 증후군에서 비뇨기계의 증상 및 비정상 검사 소견이 동반되는 경우가 흔하며 비뇨기계의 이상을 시사하는 증상이 없는 경우에도 검사상 이상이 발견되는 경우가 적지 않다. Tethered cord 증후군 환아의 평가는 신경학적 이상 유무는 물론이고 비뇨기계의 이상 여부에 대한 평가도 필히 포함되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.X> 섭취량은 배추의 경우 3.72배, 양배추의 경우 4.18배, 양상추의 경우 6.50배나 많았다. 6. 결론적으로 같은 량의 엽채류를 섭식하면서 일일 질산염 섭취량을 줄이기 위해서는 배추, 양배추, 양상추 모두 외부엽보다는 내부엽을 선택적으로 소비하는 것이 바람직함을 알 수 l있었다.었다. 6. 녹즙 종류별 ${NO_3}^-$ 함량은 당근녹즙(143ppm) < 명일엽(506ppm) < 돌미나리(669ppm) < 케일녹즙(985ppm) 순으로 많았고, Vitamin C 함량은 당근(43ppm) < 돌미나리(289ppm) < 케일(353ppm) < 명일엽(768ppm)의 순으로 높았다. 7. 일일 ${NO_3}^-$ 섭취량은 500ml의 녹즙을 마시는 경우 명일엽 253mg, 돌미나리 335mg, 케일 483mg으로 녹즙만으로도 이미 WHO/FAO의 일일 ${NO_3}^-$ 섭취허용량보다 1.16배, 1.53배, 2.21배나 초과할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 연약한 곤충의 방제에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 제조된 살충비누를 활용하면 환경친화적인 해충방제가 가능하다고 판단되었다.소변의 이상소견이 발견되어 신장 조직검사를 실시할 경우 혈청 $C_3$치의 감소 여부에 관계없이 MPGN도 진단적 고려 대상이 되어야 한다고 생각한다.신장 조직검사를 시행한 결과 진행성 경과를 취할 수 있는 막 증식성 사구체 신염과 매우 희귀한 증례인 신유전분증 등으로
