A male German Shepherd dog, $2{\frac{1}{2}}$years of age, was admitted with sudden anemia, weakness, hyperpyrexia, anorexia and lethargy. The patient showed hypoplastic anemia, thrombocytopenia, absolute and relative lymphocytosis, absolute and relative granulocytopenia, hypoalbuminemia, slight hepatic disorder, slight azotemia, hematuria and proteinuria by the screening examination. The bone marrow aspiration smear showed high cellularity, severs infiltration of lymphoblasts and prolymphocytes, and mitotic figures of lymphoid cells. The liver aspiration smear demonstrated infiltration of lymphoblasts. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia was diagnosed as none of the superficial lymph nodes showed enlargement and marked functional disorder of important organs other than the liver was not found. The patient was treated with vincristine, cyclophophamide, predniosolone for chemotherapy and blood transfusion and either ampicillin or cefoperazone for supportive treatment. But the patient did not show marked remission and died 9 days after the start of the chemptherapy. The necropsy was not permitted.

For the evaluation of physical assessment by school nurses, this study was designed in two steps physical assessment. The first step is the primary health screening by school health nurses. The second step is the Physicians' physical examination of ill health students selected by school nurses. This study was conducted on a total of 3,525 students of three primary schools located in urban, township, and rural area during the period from May to June, 1987, all data were collected through direct observation & survey method. The main findings are as follows 1. The number of ill health students selected by two step method was more than that of one step method by the physician. 2. The types of ill health students selected by two step method had more diversity than that of one step method by the physician. 3. Budgets and time consumption for two step method were more reductive than that of one step method by the physician.

Two spaniel dogs were presented with a history of lethargy, weakness, refractory hypoglycemia, and episodic seizure. A pancreatic mass on the distal end of the left limb was identified through screening tests including dualphase CT angiography in each patient. Canine insulinoma was suspected with low blood glucose, low fructosamine, and normal to high serum insulin levels. Exploratory laparotomies were performed, and partial pancreatectomy using an ultrasonic-activated scalpel was achieved without enzyme leakage or fistula formation after surgery. The lesions were definitively diagnosed as insulinoma via histopathologic examination. One dog has been doing well until POD 870 with medication; in the other dog, diffuse hepatic nodules noted during surgery were confirmed as a liver metastasis. This dog died at POD 45. This case report addresses the utility of the ultrasonic scalpel in partial pancreatectomy for the treatment of canine insulinoma and differences in prognosis according to disease stage.

In order to detect constituents with similar actions to rutin in the genus Lespedeza plants growing in Korea, twelve species were collected in Chung Buk and Kyung Ki Provinces and subjected to systematic extraction. When the extract was examined for flavonoid by adding flavonoid reagents, all the species gave positive cofirmatory tests. The examination of the flavonoid consitituents by T.L.C. gave the following results: as rutin-like constituents, quercetin was detected in L. cyrtobotrya, L. maritima and L. bicolor var. melanantha and eriodictin-like constituents were detected in seven species. Of those twelve species, five species, L. cuneata, L. cyrtobotrya, L. maritima, L. bicolor var. melanantha and L. patentibicolor were found to contain kaempferol. All of them appear to contain lespedin and eriodictiol.

There is a consensus among researchers about the fact that women should be familiar with their breasts but there is a lot of argument as to how to make them aware of what is normal for them. For over decades breast self examination (BSE) was advocated for the same but as an outcome of work conducted by researchers in various countires a controversy has been raised in the West. In a country like India, where breast cancer screening is not popular and limited resources are available we should question what would be the best strategy to make women familiar with their breasts to facilitate best use of BSE.

저선량 흉부 전산화단층촬영을 이용한 페암의 대한 조기검진 시기도 남녀공통 40세 이상을 시작연령으로 제시하고 있으나 조기검진의 연령확대로 인하여 다양한 연령층에서 시행하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 임상적 증상이 없는 자기결정에 의해 저선량 흉부 전산화단층촬영을 시행한 건강검진 대상자를 대상으로 40세 전후로 구분하여 진단적 효용성과 저선량 흉부 전산화 단층촬영의 대한 바람직한 방향을 제시하고자 한다. 분석한 결과 결절의 개수는 유의하게 나타났으나 방사선 피폭에 대한 전체적인 위해와 이득에 대한 정당성 확보가 이루어지지 않았다. 저선량 흉부 전산화단층촬영 정당성 확보를 위해 흡연력 있는 40대 이상을 시작연령으로 해야 한다.

Anemia can be defined as a reduction in blood hemoglobin concentration or red cell mass relative to age matched normal values. Clinical presentation may range from obviously pale and lethargy to an incidental finding during screening of an otherwise well appearing child. The differential diagnosis of anemia in each instance is broad with numerous possible etiologies. A careful history and physical examination as well as complete blood count, peripheral blood smear and additional laboratory tests are necessary in defining underlying cause of the anemia and guide in further treatment plans. In addition, Iron deficiency anemia and anemia of inflammation are common causes of mild to moderate anemia in children, but most pediatricians have some confusions to differentiate these two entities.

Biochip, that is a fusion of BT/IT/NT, is the fundamental technology of bio-engineering in Post-genome Era. It is not only the tool to analyze the huge bio-informations but also the technology necessary for screening of new medicine and medical examination. Except some technological fields, biochip area has a good chance of occupying advantageous position in the world technology community by early aggressive investment, because a new access to this technology is possible without a past imitation process. This study is to analyze the trend of development of domestic and foreign biochip technology and its current market status. Finally it presents some suggestions for the government policy considering the possibility of its development in Korea.

Patterns in the outbreaks of senile diseases were investigated on 1, 264 workers by special examination among the 43, 210 industrial workers by the screening test performed in Kwang-ju and Chon-nam Branch of Korean Industrial Health Association from January 4 to December 31 in 1991. The results are summarized as follows : 1) Prevalence rate of senile diseases of industrial workers was 2.9%. And prevalence rate according to the kinds of senile diseases was observed in the order of hepatitis (0.9%), hypertension(0.7%), diabetes mellitus(0.5%), anemia(0.4%). 2) Prevalence rate of complicated senile diseases of industrial workers was 0.5%. And prevalence rate according to kinds of complicated senile diseases was observed in the order of others hypertension and arteriosclerosis (0.1%), HBV and others chronic hepatitis(0.1%), essential hypertension and arteriosclerosis(0.03%), iron deficiency anemia and leukopenia(0.03%).

Spinal cysticercosis is a very uncommon manifestation of neurocysticercosis which is caused by the larvae of Taenia solium. However, it can develop as a primary infection through blood stream or direct larval migration. It can result in high recurrence and severe neurologic morbidity if not treated appropriately. We report the case of a 43-year-old woman who presented with severe lower back pain and left leg radiating pain in recent 2 weeks. Magnetic resonance image (MRI) of lumbar spine demonstrated extruded disc at the L5-S1 level combined with intradural extramedullary cystic lesion. We performed the open lumbar microdiscectomy (OLM) at L5-S1 on the left with total excision of cystic mass. After surgery, the patient showed an improvement of previous symptoms. Diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological examination as intradural extramedullary cysticercosis. We discuss clinical features, diagnostic screening, and treatment options of spinal cysticercosis.
