Purpose: To compare the diagnostic accuracy of the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) with the platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in predicting malignancy of pelvic masses which are pre-operatively malignant suspicious. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study we evaluated the clinical features of patients with ovarian masses which had pre-operatively been considered suspicious for malignancy. The patients whose intraoperative frozen sections were malign were classified as the study group, while those who had benign masses were the control group. Data recorded were age of the patient, diameter of the mass, pre-operative serum Ca 125 levels, platelet count, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and platelet/lymphocyte ratio. Results: There was statistically significantly difference between the groups in terms of age, diameter of the mass, serum Ca 125 levels, platelet number and platelet/lymphocyte ratio. Mean neutrophil/lymphocyte ratios showed no difference between the groups. ROC curve analysis showed that age, serum Ca 125 levels, platelet number and PLR were discriminative markers in predicting malignancy in adnexal masses. Conclusions: According to the current study, serum Ca 125 levels, pre-operative platelet number and PLR may be good prognostic factors, while NLR is an ineffective marker in predicting the malignant characteristics of a pelvic mass.

The purpose of this study was to generalize the conception of chronic pelvic pain(CPP)through the literature of oriental medicine and occidental medicine. The results are obtained as follows. First, chronic pelvic pain(pain of more than 6 months duration) may include pain of gynecologic, gastroenterologic, urologic, neurologic, and musculoskeletal origin. In this study, the etiology of chronic pelvic pain may remain obscure and the relationship between certain types of pathology, such as endometriosis or adhesions, and the pain response may be inconsistent and often inexplicable. Second, the causes of CPP through the literature of oriental medicine were reviewed as pains due to a wind-pathogen, a cold, disorder of Qi, disorder of blood stasis, a improper diet, disorder of fluid, and deficiency type etc... And the charateristic pains were concerned with a aching pain, a heavy pain, a distending pain. a pain due to mass in the abdoman, a pain likes pulling etc... The degree and classification of charateristic pains in current of time were dependent on subjective factors. Third. in oriental medicine, it wasn't to be suggested concretely recognition of etiological factor in pain. But they recognised that facters were influenced by pain. For example, diretic peripheral demages were concerned with a blood stasis, a phlegm, a damp phlegm, heart, and the pains that were occurrenced by sevn emotions were concerned with a stagnancy of Qi or a stagnancy of liver-Qi.

A 6-year-old female Chihuahua was presented to the Animal Medical Center for surgical resection of a perineal mass that had recently increased in size. Ultrasonography revealed a large, homogeneous fatty mass with irregular margins between the surrounding muscle layers due to infiltrating fatty tissues. Cytological findings from fine-needle aspirates revealed numerous sheets and clusters of adipocytes, which was consistent with the fatty mass. Based on ultrasonographic and cytological findings, an infiltrative lipoma was suspected. During the surgery, the perineal mass was found to be non-encapsulated, irregularly marginated, and extensively distributed into the surrounding muscles. The mass extended inside the pelvic cavity and left anal sac. The perineal mass was surgically removed and submitted for histopathologic examination. Histopathology confirmed that the mass was an infiltrative lipoma invading into the anal sac and surrounding muscles. The present report was an unusual presentation of infiltrative lipoma that invaded the anal sac in the perineum.

혈역학적으로 불안정한 골반골 골절 환자의 사망율은 40-60%에 이를 정도로 매우 높다. 하지만 이러한 환자들을 어떻게 치료해야 하는지에 대해서는 아직 논란의 여지가 많다. 저자들은 혈역학적으로 불안정한 골반골 골절 환자에서 빠른 응급 혈관조영술을 통해 효과적으로 지혈을 시행한 증례를 보고하고자 한다. 78세 여자가 넘어져서 발생한 골반 통증을 주소로 응급실을 통해 내원하였다. 내원 후 시행한 단순골반촬영에서 골반골 골절이 관찰되었으며, 혈압은 60/40 mmHg였다. 혈역학적으로 불안정하여 전산화단층촬영을 시행하지 않고 곧바로 혈관조영술을 시행하였으며, 빠른 지혈을 위해 세부적인 출혈 혈관을 선택하지 않고 양측 내장골동맥에 대해 색전술을 시행하였다. 색전술 시행 후 혈압이 안정화되고 나서 전산화단층촬영을 시행하였으며, 이 검사에서 장천공을 의심할 수 있는 다수의 복강내 공기 음영이 관찰되었다. 응급 개복술을 시행하였으며, 수술 소견상 소장에 약 1 cm 크기의 천공이 관찰되어 봉합을 시행하였고, 골반 주변 후복막강에 혈종이 있었으나 더 이상 팽창하지 않고 출혈 소견이 보이지 않아 그대로 두고 수술을 종료하였다. 환자는 중환자실로 입원하여 집중치료 시행하였고, 수술 3일째 일반병실로 전실하였다. 저자들은 이 증례에서 출혈을 동반한 골반골 골절과 소장천공 대해 전산화 단층촬영을 생략하고 빠른 혈관 조영술을 시행하여 효과적으로 치료할 수 있었다.

B광역시에 거주하는 $45{\sim}55$세 중년여성을 대상으로 한 실험군은 총 20명으로 하여 폐경 전 6명을 대조군(A), 7명을 운동군(B), 7명은 운동군+두유군(C)으로 하였으며 골반강화운동를 실시하고 두유는 매일 360 ml를 12주 동안 섭취하였다. 운동 전 후에 측정한 체중, 체지방율, 체질량지수, 골밀도, total estrogen, progesterone 검사 결과, 체지방율, 체질량지수는 대조군이 운동군과 두유섭취군보다 유의하게 증가되었고, Total estrogen의 집단내 변화에서 운동군+두유섭취군이 사후에서 감소가 나타나 개선의 긍정적인 효과라 사료된다. 이상의 연구결과에서 나타났듯이 이소플라본의 체내에서의 생리활성이 알려지면서 이소플라본을 함유한 건강보조식품들과 두유 소비가 꾸준히 증가되고 있는 추세이나, 일상 식사에서 이소플라본 섭취와 체내 이용성의 관련성에 관한 연구는 아직 미비한 실정이다. 그러므로 폐경기의 중년여성들을 위한 맞춤형 골반근육 강화운동 프로그램개발과 두유섭취에 대한 지속적인 연구를 통하여 향후 건강한 삶을 영위하는데 크게 도움을 줄 것으로 사료된다.

11살의 중성화 암컷 miniature Schnauzer 견이 식욕부진, 복부팽만, 빈뇨증상과 변비증상으로 내원하였다. 복부 일반 방사선 검사에서 하나의 큰 균질한 지방 밀도의 종괴가 후복강과 골반강에서 확인되었다. 그 종괴는 내림결장을 변연부와 배쪽으로, 방광을 배쪽으로 변위시켰다. 복부 초음파 검사에서 종괴는 내부의 거친 에코구조와 바깥쪽에 고에코성 막을 갖고 있으며, 컴퓨터단층촬영에서 균질하게 주위 지방과 같은 (-180 ~ -110 HU) 감쇄성을 보였다. 주위 조직으로의 침습의 증거는 없었다. 세침흡인을 통한 세포검사 결과는 많은 층과 군집의 지방세포들이었다. 환자는 수술적으로 종괴를 제거한 후 임상증상이 완전히 해소되었다. 조직병리학적 검사를 통해 그 종괴는 지방종으로 진단되었다.

Obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly (OHVIRA) syndrome is an uncommon congenital abnormality of the female urogenital tract characterized by the triad of uterine didelphys, obstructed hemivagina, and ipsilateral renal agenesis. A 13-year-old female presented with acute lower abdominal pain. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed uterine didelphys, hematometrocolpos, obstructed hemivagina, and right ipsilateral agenesis, consistent with OHVIRA syndrome. Also, a well-defined mass with fluid signal intensity, mimicking adnexal neoplasm was seen in the right lower pelvic cavity adjacent to the posterior wall of the bladder. Vaginal septotomy and drainage of hematometrocolpos were done initially, but unilateral hysterectomy was later performed to relieve the patient's symptoms. The cystic mass in the right lower pelvic cavity was also excised and confirmed as a blind megaureter.

Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich (HWW) syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly of the genitourinary tract comprising uterus didelphys, obstructed hemivagina, and ipsilateral renal agenesis. Patients with HWW syndrome usually present symptoms such as dysmenorrhea, abdominal pain, pelvic mass, and purulent vaginal discharge. If not treated at an appropriate time, complications such as infertility, endometriosis, pyosalpinx, and subsequent pelvic adhesions may occur. Here, we report a case of HWW syndrome in a 7-year-old-girl who was also diagnosed as having central precocious puberty. She was brought to the pediatric department with chief complaints of lump in her breast and vaginal discharge. When she was around 2 months old, she was confirmed to have a single kidney on ultrasonography. We checked her past medical history and diagnosed her as having HWW syndrome based on the results of imaging studies, including abdominal ultrasonography and pelvic magnetic resonance imaging. She underwent treatment with gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue for 2 years. During 24 months of follow-up, she showed no serious problems or complications. If renal anomalies are identified immediately after birth or in infancy, further screening tests should be conducted prior to menstruation for determining congenital abnormalities of the reproductive tract and vice versa.
