3.A Case of Intraventricular Meningioma Acompanied by Intraventricular Hematoma and Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: Case Report.
Journal of Korean Neurosurgical Society 1978;7(1):187-192
A case of intraventricular meningioma(within Rt. Lateral ventricle) accompanied by intraventricular hematoma and subarachnoid hemorrhage is reported. Intraventricular meningioma fantastic and characteristic from the view points of its location is a rare condition;moreover hemorrhage into meningioma in general is exceedingly rare and presents with very unusual clinical pictures. Timely correct diagnosis and surgery aimed at evacuation of hematoma and total excision of the meningioma is essential, if satisfactory therapeutic results are to be obtained. Literatures concerned were reviewed.

PURPOSE: The differentiation between renal cell carcinoma(RCC) and transitional cell carcinoma(TCC) is important due to the different methods of treatment and prognosis. But occasionally it is difficult to draw a distinction between the two diseases when renal parenchyme and renal collecting systems are invaded simultaneously. MATERIAL AND METHOD: We reviewed CT scans of 37 cases of renal cell carcinoma and 12 cases of transitional cell carcinoma which showed involvement of renal parenchyma and renal sinus fat on CT. Retrospective analysis was performed by 3 abdominal radiologists. Check points were renalcontour bulging or reniform shape, location of mass center, intact parenchyme overlying the tumor, cystic change, calcification, LN metastasis, vessel invasion, and perirenal extention. RESULT:There were renal contour bulging due to the tumor mass in 33 out of 37 cases of renal cellcarcinima, wherea and nine of 12 cases of transitional cell carcinoma maintained the reniform appearance. This is significant statiscal difference between the two(p<0.005). Center of all TCCs were located in the renal sinus, and 24 out of 35 cases of RCC were located in the cortex(p<0.005). Thirty-six out of 37 cases of RCC lost the overlying parenchyma, whereas 4 out of 9 cases of well enhanced TCC had intact overlying parenchyma(p<0.005) RCC showed uptic change within the tumor mags in 31 cases which was significanity higher than the 4 cases in TCC(p<0.05). CONCLUSION: CT findings of renal cell carcinoma are contour bulging, peripheral location, obliteration of parenchyma, and cystic change. Findings of transitional cell carcinoma are reniform appearance, central location within the kidney, intact overlying parenchyma, and rare cystic change.

OBJECTIVE: Moyamoya disease (MMD) is an uncommon cerebrovascular disorder, characterized by progressive occlusion at the terminal portion of the internal carotid artery. Incidence of the disease is high in East Asia and familial MMD accounts for about 15% of the disease. Although the pathogenesis is unknown, association of HLA class I or II alleles with MMD has been reported with conflicting results. We investigated whether there is a difference in HLA class II association between familial and non-familial forms of the disease. METHODS: A total of 70 Korean children with MMD, including 16 familial cases (10 probands), and 207 healthy controls were studied. Among familial cases, only 10 probands were used for the HLA frequency analysis. High resolution HLA-DRB1 and DQB1 genotyping was performed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-sequence specific oligonucleotide hybridization and PCR-single strand conformation polymorphism methods. RESULTS: The phenotype frequencies of HLA-DRB1*1302 (70.0%) and DQB1*0609 (40.0%) were significantly increased in familial MMD compared to both controls [vs. 15.5%, corrected p (pc) = 0.008, odds ratio (OR) = 12.76; vs. 4.3%, pc = 0.02, OR = 14.67] and non-familial MMD patients (vs. 14.8%, pc = 0.02, OR = 13.42; vs. 1.9%, pc = 0.02, OR = 35.33). The frequencies of DRB1 and DQB1 alleles in non-familial MMD patients were not significantly different from those in controls. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that the genetic polymorphism of HLA class II genes or other closely linked disease relevant gene(s) could be a genetic predisposing factor for familial MMD.

PURPOSE: The objective of this study was to understand the expression of BAG-1 in the human breast cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We studied its expression in one hundred and thirteen patients diagnosed with breast cancer in Dong-A university hospital between 1992 and 1996 by performing immunohistochemical staining with BAG-1 monoclonal antibody. RESULTS: Of the 113 breast carcinoma examined, 62.0% were positive for BAG-1 cyto- plasmic expression, 28.0% were positive for nuclear BAG-1 expression and 9.7% were positive for both BAG-1 cytoplasmic and nuclear expression. The higher histologic grade was correlated with the higher cytoplasmic expression (p<0.05). Except for histologic grade, no correlation was observed between BAG-1 expression and conventional prognostic factors such as age, menopausal status, metastatic status of the axillary lymh nodes, cathepsin-D, p53, C-erbB-2, DNA ploidy, S-phase fraction, PCNA (proliferating cell nuclear antigen). CONCLUSION: The high histologic grade was found to correlate with positive BAG-1 cyto- plasmic staining which did not correlate with conventional prognostic factors. Our data indicate that furthermore investigation is warranted to define the role of BAG-1 as an meaningful prognostic factor in patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer.

Journal of the Korean Radiological Society 1994;31(3):511-514
PURPOSE: To evaluate the radiologic manifestations of the rectal leiomyosarcoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We reviewed CT and barium study of 2 cases of rectal leiomyosarcoma, which were operated and pathologically proved. RESULTS: In both cases colon studies showed a huge smooth marginated filling defect in the rectum. Precontrast CT scans showed a well-circumscribed, slightly Iobulated, inhomogeneous mass without calcification. Postcontrast scans showed minimal enhancement with internal low-density areas. In pathologic specimens there were large areas of necrosis and hemorrhage in the masses. Pericolic fat infiltration, lymph node metastasis, or distant metastasis were not detected. CONCLUSION: Leiomyosarcoma is rarely developed in the rectum, but general radiologic findings are similar to that of other part of the gastrointestinal tracts except for the tendency of intraluminal growth due to narrow pelvic space.
