Infection with the ubiquitous fungus Aspergillus is uncommon. This organism has a low pathogenicity for man. In most patients, pulmonary Aspergilloma is the most common form of disease, and Aspergillus fumigatus is the common species. The natural history of the pulmonary aspergilloma is variable. This report reviews the feature of growing pulmonary aspergilloma for 10 years[from diameter 3cm to diameter 9cm]. This 44-year-old male patient suffered from recurrent hemoptysis for 10 years. This patient was taken removal of aspergilloma and cavernoplasty of left upper lobe. Post-operation course was uneventful.

Thiemann's disease is a form of idiopathic avascular necrosis of the immature epiphyses of the phalanges of the fingers and toes. Few cases of Thiemann's disease have been reported because the disease is rare and difficult to diagnose. To the best of our knowledge, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of Thiemann's disease have not been reported. Here, we report a case of Thiemann's disease diagnosed by typical clinical symptoms and characteristic MRI findings before radiologic bony abnormalities were apparent.

The author experienced 8 cases of pericoronal radiolucency involving an incomplete tooth crown that had not developed to form the cemento-enamel junction, and the underdeveloped crown sometimes appeared to be floating within the radiolucency radiographically. The first impression was that these cystic lesions had odontogenic keratocysts, but half of them turned out to be dentigerous cysts histopathologically. There has been no report concerning odontogenic cysts involving an incompletely developed crown. The purpose of this paper is to report that dentigerous cysts may develop before the completion of the cemento-enamel junction of a developing crown.

Congenital or acquired esophagotracheobronchial fistula are rare. The chief causes of the acquired form are malignancy developing on the esophagus or tracheobronchial system and infection, and trauma. The pathognomonic symptom is a paroxysmal cough occurring several seconds after ingestion of liquids. This report reviews a case of bronchoesophageal fistula of unknown origin accompanying bronchiectasis. The patient is 32 years old woman with excellent result by surgical intervention. But the fistula is accidently found in the operation field. The surgical procedures consissts of fistulectomy with Right lower lobectomy.

Objectives : This study is to report the proceeding of the project sponsored by the ministry of science and technology of Korea for the stroke study titled as 'fundamental study for standardization and objectification of differentiation and pattern identification of symptoms of Oriental Medicine in stroke'. Methods and Results : We works for clinical research and molecular epidemiology center and we are in charge of the development of case report form, education of the investigators, data entry, data validation, and analysis. In the process of this project, we need to development of standard operating procedures for development and education for the case report form. Conclusions : This study is to let researchers for Traditional Korean Medicine and clinical research know how to develop of case report form and standard operating procedures in clinical researches and maintain the resource document and data.

The diagnosis of pattern identification in Korean Medicine depend on Korean Medicine doctor's experience and information. So, Pattern identification in Korean Medicine raise a question of objectification. This study is to standard stroke pattern identification in Korean Medicine. Weight of symptoms was given important(1points), very important(2points) by stroke specialist. So weight of symptoms is used two method. One is total sum and the other is total man. One had been compared Pattern identification between diagnosed patients by medical specialists and by applicated weight in case report form. The other had been compared Pattern identification between intersubjectivity by medical specialists and by applicated weight in case report form. It is 38%(total sum) or 40%(total man) concordance rate between diagnosed patients by medical specialists and by applicated weight in case report form. It is 82.4% concordance rate between intersubjectivity by medical specialists and by applicated weight in case report form. To acquire more concrete data on this theme, we need further and large scale of prospective researches.

Congenital defects of the sternum are rare development anomalies. They result form the failure of the lateral sternal bars to fuse. This malformation may be associated with other ventral midline fusion defects and ectopia cordis. A complete sternal cleft is the rarest form and less than 10 cases have been reported in the medical literature. Here were report a 3-day-old boy with complete sternal cleft without other malformations, who underwent primary surgical repair. Surgical correction of complete sternal cleft should be performed in neonatal period whether the infant if symptomatic or not because it is usually simple, able to achieve good result and primary repair is usually feasible at this period.
