We studied the usefulness of prostate specific antigen (PSA) as well as prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) as marker of prostatic cancer in twelve cases of advanced prostatic cancer including 4 or stage C and 8 of stage D, 50 cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and 50 cases of nonprostatic diseases as normal control. The positive rates of PSA were 100% for prostatic cancer, 20% for BPH and O% for nonprostatic diseases, and those of PAP were 75% for prostate cancer, 8% for BPH and 2% for nonprostatic diseases. These results indicated hat PSA is more sensitive than PAP but less specific than PAP in diagnosis of prostatic cancer. Serum PSP level was correlated with the weight of prostate in BPH patients. Serum PSA level determined during the follow-up after endocrine therapy for prostatic cancer reflected the clinical course of the patients. Because of its relatively low specificity, PSA alone may not be useful for early diagnosis of prostatic cancer. If in combination with other diagnostic modalities, it may be useful in early diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring of prostatic cancer within restricted limits.

Total hip replacement for adults with severe acetabular dysplasia presents a difficult problem because deficient bone stock and soft tissue contractures usually prevent sitting at the normal anatomic level. The rationales of high hip center are due to high failure rate of bulk structural weight bearing graft, good short-term result of hemispherical cementless acetabular component in revision surgery, high hip center but not lateral which does not adversely affect the biomechanics of the hip, and intimate apposition with viable host bone. We represented the short-term results of 21 total hip replacements with proximal placement of the acetabular cup than the anatomical position that is normally used. The mean duration of follow up was 18 months(range, 12-58 months) and the mean age of the patient was fifty-one years(range, thirty to sixty-seven years). Most of these hips had a major deficiency or defect of the acetabular bone stock. They had an aver- age Harris hip score of 47 points preoperatively and 90 points postoperatively. Roentgenographic measurements showed that the mean change in the height of the center of the hip postoperatively was only +6.6 millimeters and the mean change of horizontal location of them was 10 millimeters medial to the preoperative position. Postoperative complications included calcar fracture(1 case), trochanteric bursitis(1 case), postop- erative dislocation(1 case) and one case of radiological loosening of the acetabular component. The center of the hip in THR is not a crucial parameter with regard to the long-term stability of acetabular component, so our recommendation is to place the acetabular component at a more proximal but not lateral position if strong bone stock is available. But future studies of high hip center need to address femoral component longevity.

Gingival fibroblasts(GF) and periodontal ligament fibroblasts(PDLF) are the major cellular components of periodontal soft connective tissues, but the precise molecular biological differences between these cells are not yet known. In the present study, we investigated the expression of S100A4, S100A2 calcium-binding protein and osteoblast-specific factor 2(OSF-2, Periostin) mRNA in GF and PDLF in vitro through the process of reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) and Northern blot analysis in each. Human GF and PDLF were isolated from the gingival connective tissue and the middle third of freshly extracted healthy third molars. They were cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium(DMEM) containing 10% fetal bovine serum and cells in the third passage were used in the experiments. After extracting total RNA from cultured cells, RT-PCR and Northern analysis were performed using S100A4-, S100A2- and Periostin-specific oligonucleotide primers and subcloned cDNA probes in each. In RT-PCR and Northern analysis, the expression of S100A4 and Periostin mRNA in GF was slightly detectable. Interestingly, the expression of S100A4 and Periostin mRNA in PDLF was much higher than that in GF. On the other hand, S100A2 mRNA was highly expressed in both GF and PDLF. Since there was a marked difference of S100A4 and Periostin expression between GF and PDLF in vitro, these data suggest that S100A4 and Periostin could be used as a useful marker for distinguishing cultured gingival fibroblasts and periodontal ligament cells.

The authors retrospectively analysed the ultrasonographic findings of 43 cases of surgically confirmed hypertrophic pyloric stenosis and their postoperative findings of sonograms taken at 1 month(n=40) or 3 months( n=5) after pyloromyotomy. In preoperative study, the thickened pyloric muscle was isoechoic or slight hypoechoic relative to liver on the midline longitudinal view and appeared as a "nonuniform acoustic ring" on the transverse view. The results of measurement in the all cases with hypertrophic pyloric stenosis were the pyloric thickness ≥3.8mm, the pyloric diameter ≥14mm, the pyloric channel length ≥16mm, the pyloric muscle volume ≥2.21Cm

Self expandable metallic stent is a good alternative of percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage because it can eliminate numerous problems caused by external drainage catheter, such as tube dislodgement, bile leakage and psychotic problems. Authors analyzed initial results of self expandable metallic stents used in the patients with malignant biliary obstruction to evaluate the efficacy of the procedure and to find the technical problems in the procedure. Self expandable metallic stents were inserted in 14 patients: three with recurrent stomach cancer: there with gallbladder cancer: seven with Klatskin tumor: one with common duct cancer. Gianturco type stent was used in 9 cases ans Wallstent was used in 2 cases. In remaining three cases, both Z-stent and Wallstent were used in the same patient. The average period of follow up was 104 days (4-409). In 13 cases, the patency of the bile duct was restored by the stent (technical success: 92.9%). Occlusions of the stent were found in two cases, after two and 13 months, respectively. Causes of failure and stent occlusion were associated duodenal obstruction, tumor overgrowth and shortening of Wallstent. In remaining 11 patients, one patient was lost to follow up an 10 patients did not show recurrent jaundice until death or last follow up. There was no major complication related to the procedure. The insertion of self expandable metallic stent is a safe procedure and call eliminate major disadvantages of PTBD. Overstenting, overlapping land evaluation of associated GI tract obstruction is crucial for obtaining technical success and long-term patency.
