The basal cell nevus syndrome (BCNS) is an autosomal dominant disorder, characterized by basal cell carcinomas, odontogenic keratocysts and skeletal abnormalities. We experienced two cases that represented several characteristics of BCNS. Case 1: a thirty three year-old man visited CSU hospital. His radiographs showed four cystic lesions at both maxillary sinus and both mandibular angle, with bifid rib and ectopic calcification of falx cerebri. After marsupialization and enucleation, recurrent and newly developing tendency were found on his follow-up radiographs. Case 2: a seventeen year-old man had four large cystic lesions which were diagnosed as odontogenic keratocysts. He had craniofacial anomalies which included ectopic calcification and frontal bossing.

Concerning the operative technique for the relief of discrete subvalvular aortic stenosis, emphasis by some authors has been placed on the superiority of blunt dissection in the enucleation of the entire, obstructing structure such as membranous or fibrous ring stenosis compared with the conventional resection by sharp dissection technique. Here report a case operated applying the technique of blunt dissection, analogous to endarterectomy, which resulted in good clinical improvement. The technique is such that the tissue causing obstruction is peeled off the ventricular septum along the plane of cleavage using a dissector, starting under the commissure between right and left coronary cusps. As for the origin of stenosis this case imply a possibility of different mechanism of etiology evidenced by that the tissue removed consisted of elastic fibers only.

상완신경총에 생기는 신경원성 종양은 드문 질환이다. 최근에 저자는 상완신경총에 발생한 한 예의 신경초종을 치험하였다. 환자는 34세 남자로 좌측 쇄골상부에 서서히 자라는 종괴를 주소로 내원하였다. 자기공명영상에서 좌측 쇄골하동맥의 후상방부에 고립성 종괴를 발견하였다. 수술 시 상완신경총 직하부에 피막으로 잘 감싸진 종괴를 발견하였으며, 신경 섬유를 가능한한 다치지 않게 하기 위해 피막을 열고 종양을 적출하였다. 수술 후 신경학적인 결함은 없었다.

From Jan. 1981 to Dec. 1993, 24 cases of pulmonary hamartoma were experienced sugically at the Department of Thoracic Surgery, College of Medicine, Seoul National University. They consisted of 11 females and 13 males. The age distribution was 24 years to 71 years with a mean age of 49 years. They included 3 cases of endobronchial hamartoma, and 21 cases of pulmonary parenchymal hamartoma. Fifty eight percent of patients [14/24] were asymptomatic. One patient had a multiple pulmonary parenchymal hamartoma, and 1 patient also had combined lung cancer. The operative procedures were 9[37.5%] wedge resections, 5[20.8%] lobectomies, 3[12.5%] enucleations, 3[12.5%] segmental resections, 2[8.3%] bilobectomies, 1[4.2%] lobectomy and segmentectomy, and 1[4.2%] lobectomy, wedge resection, and enucleation. All of the operative results were excellent and without complication.

This experiment was carried out to produce cloned aniraals by nuclear transplantation in rabbits. The ovulated oocytes were collected from the oviducts between 14 and 15 hours after hGG injection. The denuded oocytes were used as nuclear recipient cytoplasm following enucleation by micromanipulation. The blastomeres separated from the 8-cell embryos were used as nuclear donor. The nucleated oocytes receiving a blastomere in the perivitelline space were electrically fused in the 0.28 M mannitol solution at 1.5 kV /cm, 60$\mu$sec for three times. The nuclear transplant embryos which were used and developed to 2- to 4-cell stage in vitro were transferred into the oviducts of synchronized recipient does. A total of 64 nuclear transplant embryos were transferred to 7 recipient does and produced three offspring(4.7%) from a foster mother 31 days after embryo transfer.

Objectives: Since World Health Organization reclassified the odontogenic keratocyst as a keratocystic odontogenic tumor(KCOT) in 2005, management of KCOT remains controversial. The purpose of the this study is to present a current concept of the treatment of the KCOT. Methods: Recent articles were focused on the method of the surgical therapy and the recurrence rate of KCOT. Results: The treatment modality is divided into conservative treatment-such as simple enucleation with or without curettage or marsupialization-and aggressive treatment including peripheral ostectomy, chemical curettage with Carnoy's solution, and resection. Conclusions: Keratocystic odontogenic tumors have higher recurrence rates than other odontogenic lesions; thus, the selected type of treatment is very important.

The development of embryos reconstructed by nuclear transfer is dependent upon numerous factors including the type of recipient cell, method of enucleation, the type of donor cell, method of reconstruction, activation, the cell cycle stage of both the donor nucleus and the recipient cytoplasm and the method of culture of the reconstructed embryos. Many of these points which have been reviewed extensively elsewhere (Sun and Moor, 1995; Colman, 1999; Oback and Wells, 2002; Renard et al., 2002; Galli et al., 2003b), here we will concentrate on main area, the production of suitable cytoplast and nuclear donor, nuclear-cytoplasmic coordination, oocyte activation, culture of reconstructed embryos, and the effects that this may have on development.

The management of odontogenic keratocysts (OKC) remains a hotly debated topic in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Despite numerous studies and systematic reviews on treatment options, there is a lack of consensus and no accepted protocol on the management of OKC. Hence, the aim of this study was to briefly summarize all large systematic reviews in the literature on the management of OKC and formulate an evidence-based management protocol. Data from five large systematic reviews were combined to calculate the mean recurrence rate for each technique. Decompression followed by enucleation along with adjuvant methods such as application of Carnoy's solution and peripheral ostectomy can result in very low recurrence and is an acceptable first line treatment. The surgical approach should be determined by lesion size, patient age, proximity to vital structures, accessibility, soft tissue/cortical perforation, and if the lesion is recurrent.

Aggressive benign odontogenic neoplasms have substantial potential to grow to an enormous size with resulting bone deformities, and they often invade adjacent tissues and spread beyond their normal clinical and radiographic margins; as such, they have a high rate of recurrence. Historically, management (conservative versus aggressive) on the basis of clinical, radiographic and/or histopathologic characteristics has been controversial. However, recent advances in the understanding of the biological features of these lesions may provide greater evidence of the benefits of conservative management. Three patients with different complaints and final histopathologic diagnoses were enrolled in the study. All three cases were treated by a single operator with similar conservative surgical procedures. During follow-up, the patients had uneventful secondary healing and bone regeneration, less packing time than previously reported, no clinical or radiographic evidence of recurrence and no apparent deformity. The aggressive behavior of these lesions requires long clinical and radiographic follow-up. Conservative surgical management may be an option to reduce recurrence and morbidity and increase the probability of uneventful secondary healing and bone regeneration.

A 12-year-old female was referred from a dental clinic due to a radiolucent area under the lower right first and second premolars. The lesion was diagnosed as a simple bone cyst radiographically. However, she complained lasting pain during 10 month follow up. Therefore curettage was performed and it defined as an osteoid osteoma on the histopathologic examination. As the lesion recurred, one year later, enucleation was performed. We report this case to help the diagnosis of osteoid osteoma in mandible.
