Hodgkin's lymphoma is a group of malignant lymphoid which involve various organs including gastrointestinal tract. Stomach and small intestine are commonly involved more; however, pancreas can be primarily involved as well. The secondary involvement of pancreas caused by Hodgkin's lymphoma is more prevalent than the primarily involvement (1 .25-2.2% .<1%). Primary pancreatic lymphomas (PPLs) consist of 1-2% of all lymphoma outside nods. The symptoms and findings of PPL imaging can be akin to that of pancreas adenocarcinoma and differentiating them is difficult without examining the tissue sample. The prognosis and treatment of PPL are different from those of adenocarcinoma and due to the superior prognosis of PPL compared to pancreas adenocarcinoma, the proper diagnosis of the disease is important.

AGC on Pap smear was associated with a clinically significant diagnosis in approximately 20% of our cases. The women with a diagnosis of AGC on cervicovaginal smear are needed to be evaluated at least with colposcopy, endocervical and endometrial curettage. Clinicians should be careful about the significance of AGC on Pap smears.

Porous calcium phosphates have osteoconductive properties. The aim of this study was to obtain synthetic calcium phosphate bone graft substitute. X-ray diffraction was employed to investigate the formation of the beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) phase. We evaluated the effects of bone marrow on the osteoconductivity and mechanical properties of synthetic bone graft (SG). SG cylinders loaded with bone marrow (SGBM) and SG alone were implanted into rabbits femoral condyle bone defects. Histological examinations revealed the resorption of the SG, trabecular bone with osteoblasts and osteoid substance around the implants, and colonization inside the porous β-TCP by newly formed bone. Histomorphometry conducted after three months revealed the osteoid surface to be higher in SGBM than SG (p < 0.05). The compressive strengths of SG and SGBM were significantly higher than the anatomic control at all time periods. The elastic modulus of SBG and SGBM became weaker after implantation. The present results indicate that β-TCP is a good matrix for bone marrow, which contributes osteoinductive properties in an orthotopic. The composite biomaterial may be useful in reconstructive bone surgery. © KSBB
