ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a disease with specific psychologic and physical symptoms on luteal phase. Its incidence is variable in 20~80%, but its cause is not definitely proved. Because progesterone and estrogen affect the balance of the body mineral, the alteration of progestorone and estrogen in the patients with PMS may effect the imbalance of tissue mineral, that can induce the specific symptoms of PMS. This study examines the relationship between symptoms of PMS and mineral count by tissue mineral test. METHODS: Women who volunteered for the tissue mineral test completed MMDQ questionnaire and checked blood test for Ca, Mg, Na, K, Cu, Zn. The tissue mineral test used the hair not treated within 3 weeks and not washed within 3 hours. The hair was send to TEI for the analysis. We used SPSS (14.0) for statistical analysis. RESULTS: The MMDQ score of the normal Mg group is significantly higher than the high Mg group (22.5+/-17.8 vs. 13.9+/-11.1), and the behavioral disorder score of the normal Na group is significantly lower than the low Na group (2.2+/-1.7 vs. 3.4+/-2.2). The MMDQ score of the normal Cu group is significantly lower than abnormal group (15.7+/-11.9 vs. 24.9+/-16.9). CONCLUSIONS: Total score of MMDQ showed difference according to magnesium and copper concentrations in tissue, and scores of behavioral disorder was affected by sodium concentration of tissue. Additional study about cause and effect relationship is required.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the short term results of infracoccygeal sacropexy for the management of uterine prolpase or stump prolapse. METHODS: Thirty-four Women who underwent infracoccygeal sacropexy for the management of uterine prolapse or stump prolpase were enrolled this study. Intraoperative or postoperative complications and results of the operation were evaluated and the recurrence rate of pelvic organ prolapse was checked 6 months after operation. RESULTS: Changes of hemoglobin after infracoccygeal sacropexy was 1.7+/-0.9, mean duration of bladder drainage was 3.1+/-1.0 (days). After 2.1 days of operation, foley catheter was removed. Mean inpatient day was 5.2+/-1.0, patient discharged 3.2 days after operation. Recurrence rate after 6 months was 2.9%. Preoperative mean stage of prolapse was 2.7+/-0.7 (stage) and it decreased to 0.4+/-0.6 (stage) 6 months after operation. CONCLUSIONS: Infracoccygeal sacropexy was effective method for the management of uterine/ stump prolapse.

Vulvar ateriovenous hemangioma is a rare pathologic lesion, encountered in Bartholin's glands of vulva. Little has previously described in the litherature. A painless vulvar mass occurred accidently in a healthy women after cesarean delivery. There was no obvious lesion on the skin. Excisional biopsy revealed a vascular lesion in the subcutaneous layer, consistent with arterio-venous hemangioma. The mass was sucessfully treated by excision, and the patients was asymptomatic for five months later. so, we report this case with a brief review of literatures.
