Successful Vaginal Delivery Following Immunologic Thrombocytopenic Purpuric Woman: Case Report With Prior History / 대한산부인과학회잡지

Thrombocytopenia is hematologic disorder commonly occurs during pregnancy (5%) with different severity. It doesn't cause severe problem during pregnancy and after the delivery if it is not below certain level which will cause spontaneous bleeding. But in this case, patient was previous cesarean section status and platelet number didn't arise more than 20,000/microliter even after transfusion which will cause spontaneous bleeding. Vaginal delivery was done because transverse cesarean section was considered relatively safe although there was the risk of rupture of uterus, and was successful-both mother and baby is in good health condition. Here now we report this case because vaginal delivery of Immunologic thrombocytopenic purpuric woman with prior history of cesarean section has not reported.

A Case of Mucinous Cystadenocarcinoma Arising from a Mature Cystic Teratoma in the Right Ovary / 대한부인종양콜포스코피학회잡지

A case of mucinous cystadenocarcinoma arising from a mature cystic teratoma in the right ovary of a 37-year-old woman is reported. Malignant transformation of a mature teratoma is a rare event and the commonest malignant neoplasm to develop is squamous cell carcinoma.(83%) Adenocarcinoma occurs with less frequency.(6.8%) The patient was treated by staging operation followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. After six courses of combination chemotherapy, oncological investigations, including chest X-ray, abdominopelvic CT scan and tumor markers, all revealed no evidence of recurrence.

Studies on the VP4 and VP7 Genes of Bovine Rotaviruses from Field Samples Using RT-PCR and RFLP Analysis

Characterizations of the VP4 (P type) and VP7 (G type) genes of Korean isolates of bovine rotavirus were performed using RT-PCR/RFLP and nucleotide sequencing analysis. After RT-PCR amplification of partial length (1094bp) of the VP4 and full length (1062bp) of the VP7 genes, amplified PCR products were digested with restriction endonucleases and digestion patterns were compared with those of reference rotaviruses. With the VP4 genes, four RFLP (AD) profiles were observed; three (A, B and C) were the same as those of bovine rotavirus NCDV (P[1]), IND (P[5]) and B223 (P[11]), respectively, Profile D was the same as that of porcine rotavirus OSU (p[7]). With the VP7 genes, five RFLP profiles (I-V) were observed; three of them (1, II and III) were the same as those of bovine rotavirus NCDV (G6), Cody I-801 (G8), and B223 (G10), respectively, Profile IV and V were atypical to those of reference bovine rotaviruses used in this study. These two profiles were identified as G6 and G5, respectively, after analyzing and comparing the nucleotide sequences. The G typing analysis revealed that 61.9% (26/42) were G6, which included G6 subtype; 28.6% (12/42) were G5; 7.1% (3/42) were G10; 2.4% (1/42) were G8. The P typing analysis revealed that 54.8% (23/42) were P(5); 28.6% (12/42) were P(7); 11.8% (5/42) were P(11); 4.8% (2/42) were P(1). Our results showed that G6/P(5) were the most prevalent rotaviruses in diarrheic calves in Korea. Also, this is the first report that G5P(7) rotaviruses were identified from cattle with diarrhea.
