Objectives : To determine the frequency, characteristics, treatment and outcome of patients with malignant ovarian germ cell tumor (MOGCT) in King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital during the period January 1992 – December 2000. Study
Design : Retrospective descriptive study
Materials and Methods : All patients with malignant ovarian germ cell tumor in King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital during the period January 1992 – December 2000 were analyzed by the characteristics of patients, treatment and outcome.
Results : Sixty-six patients with MOGCT were demonstrated in that period with a mean age of 22.6 years old. Most of the patients were nulliparous and premenopausal status. Primary surgery was done in all patients. Forty-two patients (63.6%) received conservative surgery. Eight patients received no adjuvant treatment after surgery due to stage IA dysgerminoma and immature teratoma stage I grade I. Fifty-six patients received chemotherapy for adjuvant treatment. VAC regimen was given in 27 cases (40.9%) and PVB regimen was given in 25 cases (37.9%). Salvage therapy in the patients with persistent and recurrent disease was treated in 9 patients, who received a platinum-base of regimen. Two-year survival was 88% with the median time to follow up 24 months. Overall five-year survival in the present study was 85%.
Conclusion : MOGCT in King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital had clinical characteristics similar to other studies in malignant ovarian germ cell tumor. Treatment by VAC regimen still has benefit in selected group.

We report here the results of the study using CAI compared to the hard copy for study of lessons in parasitology. We evaluated the CAI compared to hard copy lessons in 60 students, attending the third-year parasitology course at Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand. The students were randomly divided into two groups (30 each). The lessons tested were Ascaris lumbricoides and Entero- bius vermicularis, which were prepared as CAI and hard copy form. Using a cross-over design, the first group was provided CAI form on the topic of A. lumbricoides, then switched to hard copy form on the topic of E. vermicularis. The second group was provided hard copy form on the topic of A. lumbricoides, then switched to CAI form on the topic of E. vermicularis. After 30 minute reading, the 10-multiple choice question test was provided for each topic. There was no significant difference of the scores between 2 groups. The most students (91.67%) had more satisfaction when using CAI compared to hard copy in terms of easy to use, convenient to use, less time consuming, more understandable, more attractive to read, and less stress for study. There were 32.8% students complaining that reading hard copy was boring. Other comments were stress when reading (2%), more difficult (17.2%) and more time needed to search specific information (17.2%), and wasting papers (17.2%). However, 58.6% still complained problems when using CAI. About 25% had physical discom- fort (eg. Headache, eye pain), and 25% had difficulty to access to use CAI (eg. no computers available, problems with computer or network error). We suggested that instructors should create and improve CAI lessons in biomedical sciences both in quantity and quality (eg. content with details, pictures, narrations).
