Penidioxolanes A and B, 1,3-Dioxolane Containing Azaphilone Derivatives from Marine-derived Penicillium sp. KCB12C078

Two new azaphilone derivatives containing 1,3-dioxolane moiety, penidioxolanes A (1) and B (2), were isolated from marine-derived fungus Penicillium sp. KCB12C078, together with four known compounds (3-6) by chemical investigation. Compounds 1 - 6 were isolated by combination of silica gel, ODS column chromatography and preparative HPLC. Their structures were determined by analysis of spectroscopic data including 1D-, 2D-NMR, and MS techniques. The isolates were evaluated against cancer cell growth inhibition effects and antimicrobial activity.

A case of placenta previa percreta with bladder invasion / 대한산부인과학회잡지

Placenta percreta with bladder invasion is an extremely rare complication causing life-threatening hemorrhage, up to 17 liters.1 Most reported cases have been diagnosed after 30 weeks of pregnancy and few have presented before 20 weeks.2 Only 20 cases of placenta percreta with invasion of the bladder have been reported during last decade. In this condition, chorionic villi attach directly to the myometrium without intervening decidua. The exact etiology of impaired decidualization is unknown; however, a previous endometrial insult, such as previous cesarian section or endometrial curettage may be a contributing factor. To avoid massive bleeding, uterine body incision, hypogastric artery ligation before hysterectomy and uterine cervical removal have been attempted.1 Chorionic villi may attach to the myometrium (accreta), invade the myometrium(increta), or in its severe form (percreta) the trophoblastic tissue penetrates the whole myometrium and invades adjacent structures. We experienced a case of placenta previa percreta with bladder invasion and review the literatures.

A Case of Paget's Disease of the Vulva / 대한부인종양콜포스코피학회잡지

Extramammary Pagets disease(EMPD) of the vulva is an uncommon neoplasm which accounting for 2.5% of all vulvar malignancies and 0.02% of all female cancer. Several hundred cases have been reported worldwide since the first description by sir James Paget in 1874, It generally affects postrnenopausal age poup and presents high rate of recurrence but the precise incidence remines unclear, Although Paget's disease of the breast and the vulva are histologically similar, their histogenesis and biological behavior are considered to be significantly different and EMPD has gcnerally perceived rnore benign compared to that of the breast. Four histologic forms of vulvar EMPD have been recognized and treated vulvar EMPD in according to the 4 histologic classification. The high rate of recurtence disease remains a challenge for optimal management. Recently we experienced a case of Paget's disease of the vulva, diagnosed as an intraepithelial Pagets disease preoperatively and underwent radical vulvectomy and superiomedial thigh(SMT) flap, and present with a brief review of literature.
