Thoracic duct cysts in the upper portion of the diaphragm are mostly found in the neck and are rarely found in the mediastinum. Thoracic duct cysts should be differentiated from other mediastinal tumors or cysts, and surgical treatment is required to avoid the development of chylothorax if the cyst ruptures. Herein, we report the case of a patient with a thoracic cyst located just above the diaphragm that was treated with surgical resection.

For many years it has been reported that seemingly benign neck cysts may contain carcinoma. Cystic metastases have often mistaken for either branchial cleft cysts or benign mass. Authors experienced two cases which presents cystic cervical metastatic cancer One was a tonsillar carcinoma and the other was a tongue carcinoma. Patients with a cystic squamous carcinoma in the neck likely have a primary in upper aero-digestive system and It is known that the tonsil is most common site. Radiologic examination and fine needle aspiration biopsy of the cyst proved to be non-diagnostic. The development of cervical lymph node metastases before clinical signs of carcinoma of the tonsil is also well recognized. So, in old patients, thorough head If neck examination, panendoscopy and ipsilateral tonsillectomy is mandatory to identify a primary carcinoma prior to cyst excision.

Thyroglossal duct cysts are the most common anomaly in thyroid development. Generally, duct cysts are benign, but 1 per cent of cases may be malignant. Tumors of the thyroglossal duct are very rare and are usually papillary thyroid carcinomas. In most cases the diagnosis is only established after excison of a clinically benign thyroglossal duct cysts. The etiology of such tumors is unclear, but do novo origin and spread from a primary thyroid gland tumor has been suggested. We reported a case of papillary carcinoma arising in a thyroglossal duct cyst treated successfully with surgical excision in 37-year-old-female.

Lingual thyroid is the term applied to a mass of ectopic thyroid tissue located on the base of the tongue in the midline. It may be found anywhere between the circumvallate papillae and the epiglottis. It is believed to be caused by developmental anomalies involving the descent of the embryologic gland anlage from its position posterior to the tuberculum impar to its normal pretracheal location between week 3 and week 7 of embryologic development. Differential diagnosis of the lingual thyroid would include lingual tonsillar hypertrophy, vallecular cyst, thyroglossal duct cyst, epidermal cyst, lymphoma. Lingual thyroid is found in approximately 1 in 100,000 people, and affected individuals have no other thyroid tissue in 70% to 100% of cases. Recently, we have experienced a case of lingual thyroid with mild dysphagia in a 48-year-old male. Now we report the case with literature review.

The resting cyst of Gymnodinium catenatum was found in the surface sediments collected from Chinhae Bay in October, 1991. This is the first record of the species in the Korean waters. The relative abundance was low with the maximum of $1.7\%$. The colonial motile form consisting of four cells was observed in 1992 from the excystment of the cyst collected from the Wonmun Bay in Chinhae Bay. No blooms caused by G. catenatum has been observed in Chinhae Bay during the survey.

This study was conducted to investigate the yield loss of soybean by initial density of Heterodera glycines in soil. A soybean cultivar named 'Cheongja5ho' was cultivated as test material in Dangjin city, Chungcheongnam-do, Korea. Each seed was planted with distance of 25 cm in 35 plots by initial density of egg of the cyst nematode on June 21^st, and allowed to harvest on November 12^st in 2019. As a results, the yield of soybean decreased sharply when as the initial density of eggs of cyst nematode increased. The initial density of eggs in soil affected largely on the decreased yields of the soybean by more than 20% in above 2,000 eggs, and 30% in above 6,000 eggs of the cyst. Beyond the 6,000 eggs, the yield loss was more slowly decreased compared with the above cases. Eggs of H. glycines are widely distributed in Korea, resulting in the serious soybean yield loss by H. glycines.

Soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines Ichinohe) is one of the serious soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] pests in major soybean producing countries. The objective of this study was to investigate of Heterodera glycines type using the five SCN infested soybean field soils and was to evaluate resistance to the soybean cyst nematode HG 2.5.7 type on soybean varieties and germplasms. The five SCN contaminated soil samples were collected from the three provinces on November 2011 in Korea, and eggs were cultured on early spring season in 2012. For the second study, a total fifty nine soybean varieties and germplasms were tested by infestation of HG type 2.5.7 in the greenhouse. Soybean cyst nematode HG types were investigated from five locations, HG 2 (race 1) type at Donghae, HG 2.5 (race 1) type at Jeongseon and Hapcheon, HG type 2.5.7 (race 1 or 5) at Yeongwol, and HG 1.2.7 (race 5) type at Haenam locations in present study. No Korean soybean varieties and germplasms were observed with SCN resistant trait to the HG type 2.5.7. Average SCN female index were calculated with 82.7% in 59 plant materials. Our results could be provided useful information to develop a SCN resistant cultivar in Korea.

Influence of susceptible and resistant soybean varieties to the development of the soybean cyst nematode(Heterodera glycines) was examined. It does not seem likly that there are any differences between varieties in attracting the Second Stage larvae of the nematode. In susceptible varieties, there were large populations and three generations during a ten·week examination period, while the resistant varieties maintained very low populations and had only two generations.

Clover cyst nematode, Heterodera trifolii, is one of the most important plant-parasitic nematode on Kimchi-cabbage in highland in Korea. Recently, a demand of soil disinfection machine for fumigants is increasing. This study was conducted to assess the control effects of a newly developed prototype soil disinfection machine to the cyst nematode. Two fumigants, dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) and metam sodium (MNa), were treated using the machine in a field, which was infected with the cyst nematode. After 4 weeks, control effects of fumigants were assessed as eggs hatching rates inside of cysts extracted from the soil, and as a number of females reproduced in roots of Kimchi-cabbage. DMDS (39 l/10 a) suppressed over 99.0% of the eggs hatching rate and the number of females reproduced. On the other hand, MNa (29 l/10 a) controlled the egg hatching rates from minimum 78.3% to maximum 99.4%, and the number of females from 34.7% to 49.3%. The control effects of two fumigants to clover cyst nematode by treated depth were no significant differences statistically. These results showed that DMDS treatment using the soil disinfection machine was expected to have the control effects for the clover cyst nematode.

Accuracy of rectal palpation and ultrasonography for differential diagnosis of subestrous dairy trows were investigatedl using the result of pIRsma progesterone assay. The ovaries were examined 2 times of 10 days interval in 520 posearom and postinsemination subestroHs dairy cows, using rectal palpation and B-mode transrectal ultrasonography. The results of rectal palpation, ultrasonographic examination and measurement of plasma progesterone profiles in 520 subestrous dairy cows were silent brat or error of estrus detection 303 (58.3%), persistent corpus luteum 59 (11.3%), follicular cyst 37 (7.1%), luteal cyst 16 (3.1%), inactive ovary 9 (1.7%), granulosa tumor 1 (0.2%), hydmsalphinx 1 (0.2%), endomehris 81 (15.6%), pyometra 12 (2.3%) and mummified fetus 1 (0.2%), respectively. Accuncy of rectal palpation and ultrasonography for diagiosing ovarian disordeir based on plasma progesterone profiles were silent heat or error of estrus detection 80.5% and 96.7%$\boxUl$ persistent corpus luteum 57.6% and 94.9%, follicular cyst 62.5% and 91.9%1 luteal cyst 62.5% and 87.5%, maclive ovary 55.6% and 88.9% and granulosa cell tumor 100% and 100%, respectively. Acnuucy of rectal palpation for diagnosing uterine disorders based on ultrasonography was pyometra 75.0%1 endometritis 51.9% and mummified fetus 100%, respectively. Cbaracteristic ultrasonographic appearances of ovaries in subestrous dairy cows were as follows; Silent heat or error of estrus detection: anechoic follicle or hypoechoic corpus luteum than ovarian stroma was alternately present on Day 0 (first examination) and Day 10. Follicular cyst: uniformly nonechogenic ovarian structure $\geq $ 25 mm in diameter with a wall < 3 mm was present in ipsilateral on Day 0 and Day 10. Luteal cyst: luteal cyst was similar to follicular cysts but thickness of cystic wall was $\geq $ 3 mm. Inactive ovary : structures within ovaries was not present on Day 0 Bnd Day 10. Characteristic uthssonograpsc appearances of uterus in subestrous dairy cows were as follows; Endometritis: characterized by uterine lumen containing fluid in which 'snowy'echogenic particles art suspended. Pyometra: ultrasonographic appearance of pyometra was diffuse echogenic particles distributed in fluid within the distended uterus, and a thickened uterine wall. These results indicated that ultrasonography was practical far diagnosing reproductive disorders. To diagnosing ovarian disorders, ultrasonography should be carried out 2 times of 10 days interval and rndometritis should be differentiated with uterus of luteal phase in normal cycling cows.
