pancreatic pleural effusion or ascites with an internal pancreatic fistula. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] We report a patient with massive pancreatic pleural effusion associated with calcifying chronic pancreatitis successfully treated by endoscopic pancreatic duct drainage combined with extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL). CASE REPORTA 52-year-old man was admitted on 29 July, 1998, with a history of dyspnea and chest pain on the left side. For 1-2 months prior to his admission, he received thoracentesis for pleural effusion by a medical practitioner. He was a chronic consumer of alcohol, drinking on average half a bottle of whisky per day for the last 22 years. Physical examination revealed that the breath sounds were reduced at the left lung. The results of the abdominal examination were normal. Massive left-sided pleural effusion was confirmed by chest radiography (Fig. 1). His white blood cell count was 4600/mm 3 , hemoglobin 14.0 g/dL, serum albumin 3.9 g/dL, Digestive Endoscopy (2001) 13, 49-53

Summary:The arterial distribution in the floor region of the mouth of the rabbit was studied by the acryl plastic injection method.The region was found to be supplied by the hyoid branch and the sublingual artery from the lingual artery, and the digastric branch from the facial artery.In the region, the hyoid branch sent out a branch to the anterior and a branch to the inferior ; the sublingual artery gave off the mylohyoid branch, the sublingual glandular branch and the genioglossal branch ; and the digastric branch gave off the mylohyoid branch.
