Primary malignant lymphoma of the parotid gland is extremely rare entity and seldom described in the literature. Extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa associated lymphoid tissue(MALT lymphoma) is a relatively indolent disease and tents to remain localized for prolonged period of time. MALT lymphoma can be diagnosed after immunohistopathological study. Clinically, most MALT lymphomas are localized at the time of diagnosis and may be curable with local therapy alone, either surgery or radiotherapy. We present a case of MALT lymphoma in both parotid glands of patient who detected a left infraauricular huge mass as a first symptom and underwent surgical excision and immediate reconstruction using sternocleidomastoid myocutaneous flap.

This study was designed to observe the marginal leakage of three permanent cements affected by three temporary cements. The temporary cements used in this study were Zinc oxide-eugenol, Non-eugenol, and Calcium hydroxide cements and the permanent cements were Zinc phosphate, Polycarboxylate and Alumina reinforced EBA cements. To measure the dye penetration into permanently cemented zone, the experimental specimens were treated with the temporary cements for a week. An analysis of the data obtained from 120 specimens resulted in the following conclusions: 1. Regardless of the types of the permanent cements used, using Calcium hydroxide cement as temporary cement showed higher marginal leakage than other temporary cements. 2. Using Polycarboxylate cement as permanent cement showed less marginal leakage than other permanent cements. 3. The marginal leakage in zinc phosphate cement was similar to Alumina reinforced EBA cement regardless of the types of the temporary cements.

Procambium developed in the histogenetical zone below the marginal meristem. The development of procambium is correlated with the developmental stage of the leaf. As long as the marginal cells are crescent-shaped, the first-order procambium develops. When the marginal cell becomes wedge-shaped, the higher order procambium appears. The reticulated venation is developed through forking and anastomosis. The meshes of the first order enlarge in the process of leaf growth and the meshes of the second and third order develop in the meshes of the first-order through the differentiation of the residual meristem. Therefore, the venation is hierachically arranged and is as recognizable from the thickening of the veins. The outermost vein is produced parallel to the leaf margin, in which the differences between the costal and intercostal parts of the marginal meristem are removed. The endodermis and pericycle differentiate from the same mother cell. The procambium and sclerenchyma originate from a common source during the first developmental stage. A small cellular cluster lies within the parenchyma at the upper and lower sides of the procambial trace and differentiates into sclerenchyma.

Korean economy has been developed successfully in the course of implementing the five year economic development plans since 1962. The gap of incomes and quality of life between rural and urban area has been widened and it made rural farm laborers drain to urban areas. Therefore the prevailing situation of labor shortage and wage hike in rural area has made farm management deteriorate in recent years. Under the internal and international unfavorable economic conditions, marginal farm land of 66.5 thousand ha has been idled as of end of 1993. The total area outside agricultural development zone with bad farming conditions including irrigation and drainage, and land consolidation for mechanization were estimated at 360.4thousand ha equivalent to 17.5% of the total farm land area in Korea. Considering the topographical conditions of marginal lands, the effective use of marginal lands should be studied from the view point of public interest rather than from the view point of individual economic conditions. Considering the present agricultural economic settings, such as price decrease, unfavourable benefits of farm products, labour shrotage, free trade of farm products and poor physical condition of marginal lands, the institutional and realistical measures for the effective utilization of idle and marginal land should be studied as soon as possible. Detail land use pattern should be surveyed in the areas outside agricultural development zone and have to be classified as orchard farms, grass land, fish culture farms, lawn and ornamental tree farm, sight seeing and leisure farms for urban peoples, special crops production farms and common farms to be developed for farm mechanization. According to the surveyed results, the expected utilization patterns of the idle and marginal lands could be considerd as village common use, farm land base development, leisure farm development, mutual complementary utilization between urban and rural areas, G't purchase and management, credit supply and new extension services, improvement of cropping patterns and sight seeing and leisure farm patterns. For the successful and reasonable management of the marginal lands, the actions such as institutional improvement, prohibition of idle marginal land, enforcement of activities of farm management committee members and land banking system of RDC including development and utilization systems should be included.

Lymphoma is the most common primary tumor of the orbit, accounting for 55% of all orbital malignancies. When divided into histopathological subtypes, extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma) comprises the largest proportion. Clinical manifestations are unspecific, but in patients with slow-growing painless orbital mass, or red conjunctival lesion suggestive of 'salmon patch', ocular adnexa lymphoma (OAL) should be suspected. Although the pathogenetic mechanism of ocular adnexal MALT lymphoma (OAML) is not yet fully understood, the relationship between OAML and Chlamydia psittaci has been hypothesized recently, similar to that between gastric MALT lymphoma and Helicobacter pylori. This suggests a new treatment option for OAML; bacterial eradication therapy with systemic antibiotics. Several other treatment methods for OAML have been introduced, but no treatment guidelines have been established yet. In this article, we summarize the current knowledge on the clinical features, pathogenesis, diagnostic methods, therapeutic strategies, and prognosis of OAML.

Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue(MALT) lymphoma is thought to originate from marginal zone B-cells. In the WHO classification, Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of MALT is classified B-cell Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Common sites of MALT lymphoma include stomach, lung and the ocular-adnexa. Although less common in other sites, it is the most common low-grade lymphoma of the breast, thyroid, bowel skin and soft tissue. No strong age or gender predominance exists in MALT lymphoma. Dissemination to other sites can occur. In the oral cavity, MALT lymphoma is rare. Herein, we present a case of intra-oral MALT lymphoma. 66 year-old woman without any background of immunodeficiency or autoimmune disease admitted department of oral & maxillofacial surgery in Ulsan university hospital for evaluation of long-standing mild upper lip swelling. The lesion was completely resected and biopsied. Histological and immunohistochemical stains(CD3, CD5, CD20, CD21, CK) findings were used to confirm the lesion. Bone marrow biopsy was done and no bone marrow involvement was found. She did not receive chemotherapy and radiotherapy after surgery. No recurrence has been noted in the 22 months to date.

The authors present the fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) cytologic findings of a case of extranodal marginal zone B cell lymphoma (MZBCL), which featured abundant plasma cells and eosinophilic histiocytes arising in both parotid glands. A 49-year-old female presented with palpable masses in both parotid glands. She had been suffering from systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis. The lesions were evaluated by FNAC and smears showed a small number of clusters of oncocytic cells with abundant eosinophilic granular cytoplasm and small nuclei, intermixed with small to medium-sized lymphoid cells containing round to lobulated nuclei, which suggested Warthin's tumor. Some of lymphoid cells had a plasmacytoid appearance, and some scattered large cells contained a large amount of eosinophilic cytoplasm. Bilateral superficial parotidectomy was performed and a histopathologic study indicated MZBCL with abundant plasma cells, intermixed with eosinophilic histiocytes. The presence of oncocytic cells and a mixture of lymphoid and plasma cells indicates Warthin's tumor, but the cytologic features of a relatively monotonous small to medium-sized lymphoid infiltrate suggest the possibility of MZBCL in the clinical setting of an FNAC study performed on a patient suffering from a connective tissue disease.

Splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) is a rare type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). We report here on a patient who displayed the synchronous occurrence of SMZL and early gastric cancer (EGC). The patient was a 74 year-old male with liver cirrhosis. An EGC in the gastric antrum was diagnosed and the preoperative abdomen computed tomography scan revealed splenomegaly and intra-abdominal lymphadenopathy. We performed subtotal gastrectomy and the postoperative pathologic examination revealed adenocarcinoma limited to the gastric mucosa and SMZL in the lymph nodes. The patient recovered from the surgery without complications and is now awaiting chemotherapy. SMZL has an indolent clinical course with good long-term survival and so there is the possibility of the occurrence of a second primary malignancy. Rare cases of a second primary malignancy being diagnosed along with SMZL have been described in the literature. Patients with SMZL should be carefully followed after treatment to detect the possible occurance of a second primary malignancy.

Two urostyloid ciliates, collected from brackish water in Korea, were identified as Diaxonella pseudorubra pseudorubra (Kaltenbach, 1960) Berger, 2006 and Pseudokeronopsis flava (Cohn, 1866) Wirnsberger, Larsen and Uhlig, 1987. The description was based on living, protargol impregnated specimens. These species are described as follows: Diaxonella pseudorubra pseudorubra: body size in vivo $145-230{\times}40-60\;{\mu}m$, elongated ellipsoidal in shape. Cytoplasm reddish and flexible. Adoral zone of membranelles occupied 30-40% of the body; composed of 33-44 membranelles; 1-3 frontoterminal cirri, 1-4 frontal row cirri, 4-6 buccal cirri, 6-10 transverse cirri. Midventral rows composed of 14-24 cirri, four left marginal rows, one right marginal row. Two kinds of cortical granules; the larger one is yellowish and the smaller one is reddish. Pseudokeronopsis flava: body size in vivo $150-210{\times}30-45\;{\mu}m$, elongated ellipsoidal shape. Cytoplasm yellowish and flexible. Adoral zone of membranelles occupied 25-30% of body; composed of 44-58 membranelles in number. Frontal cirri forming bicorona composed of 5-7 cirral pairs, 2-3 frontoterminal cirri, one buccal cirrus, and 2-3 transverse cirri. Midventral rows composed of 18-33 cirri, 34-53 left marginal cirri, and 40-58 right marginal cirri. Two kinds of cortical granules; the larger one is colorless and "blood-cell-shaped," and the smaller one is yellowish. Diaxonella pseudorubra pseudorubra is different from the most similar subspecies, D. pseudorubra pulchra, in cytoplasmic color and number of midventral cirri. Pseudokeronopsis flava is different from its most similar congeners in pigment granular color, number of bicorona, number of midventral cirri, and position of the contractile vacuole.
