This study was conducted to determine the level of inflammatory cytokines in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with meningitis. All the CSF of the patients were examined by Gram and acid-fast stain, culture, and PCR for Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycoplasrma spp..The levels of sugar, protein and leukocytes count were also evaluated in the CSFs. Concentrations of Interleukin (IL)-1B, IL-6, IL-8, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-a in the CSF were evaluated by the ELISA kit (Genzyme, USA). General bacteria, tubercle bacilli, and Mycoplasma spp. were not detected with stain and culture methods, but, Mycoplasma spp. was detected by PCR method from four (6.3%) patients with meningitis. The mean CSF concentration of IL-1B, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-cx in the control group were 0.6+/-0.2, 896.8+/-107.6, 50.1+/-5.1, and 4.8+/-1.4 pg/ml, respectively. The mean CSF concentration of IL-1B, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-a in the patients with aseptic meningitis were 3.8+/-0.6, 1261.6+/-144.3, 466.7+/-42.3, and 10.8+/-2.0 pg/ml, respectively. The mean CSF concentration of IL-1B, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-a in the patients with mycoplasmal meningitis were 10.2+/-8.1, 1979.5+/-133.8, 459.7+/-96.4, and 17.5+/-5.1 pg/ml, respectively. There were significantly differences in the levels of IL-1B, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-a between control and patients with aseptic meningitis or Mycoplasmal meningitis (each p<0.001). These results suggest that increased levels of IL-1B, IL-8, and TNF-a could be higly suggestive of meningitis.

5.Congenital Ball-and-Socket Ankle Joint: A Case Report

The congenital ball-and-socket ankle joint is a rare condition and is associated with congenital shortening of the lower extrimity and various skeletal abnormalities of the foot. This disease entity was reported in the German literature by Politzer in 1931 and in the English literature by Lamb in 1958. Several series have been reported since, suggesting that the condition may not be as rare as generally thought. This case is, to our knowledge, the first reported in this country.

7.Comparing Two Diagnostic Laboratory Tests for Several Microdeletions Causing Mental Retardation Syndromes: Multiplex Ligation-Dependent Amplification vs Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization.

BACKGROUND: Microdeletion syndromes not detectable by conventional cytogenetic analysis have been reported to occur in approximately 5% of patients with unexplained mental retardation (MR). Therefore, it is essential to ensure that patients with MR are screened for these microdeletion syndromes. Mental retardation syndrome multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MRS-MLPA) is a new technique for measuring sequence dosages that allows for the detection of copy number changes of several microdeletion syndromes (1p36 deletion syndrome, Williams syndrome, Smith-Magenis syndrome, Miller-Dieker syndrome, DiGeorge syndrome, Prader-Willi/Angelman syndrome, Alagille syndrome, Saethre-Chotzen syndrome, and Sotos syndrome) to be processed simultaneously, thus significantly reducing the amount of laboratory work. METHODS: We assessed the performance of MLPA (MRC-Holland, The Netherlands) for the detection of microdeletion syndromes by comparing the results with those generated using FISH assays. MLPA analysis was carried out on 12 patients with microdeletion confirmed by FISH (three DiGeorge syndrome, four Williams syndrome, four Prader-Willi syndrome, and one Miller-Dieker syndrome). RESULTS: The results of MLPA analysis showed a complete concordance with FISH in 12 patients with microdeletion syndromes. CONCLUSIONS: On the basis of these results, we conclude that MLPA is an accurate, reliable, and cost-effective alternative to FISH in the screening for microdeletion syndromes.

A case of scabies combined with superficial dermatophytosis which was aggravated by application of topical fluorinated steroid for 6 months is presented. One year ago a 60-year-old male began to have pruritic erythematous papules on the lower abdomen which spread slowly to the inguinal and buttock area. He had had onychomycosis for six years and for the last 6 months he had applied a. fluorinated steroid. preparation. After application of steroid, the aggravated skin lesions spread rapidly over the whole body. A KOH mount showed sarcoptes scabiei and fungus. A count of itch mites from scales brushed off and collected from. the overall surface of the patients body showed 263 adults, 169 Iarvae and 534 eggs. T. rubrum from a culture of scales from the trunk and nails was confirmed. On admission FBS and oral GTT test revealed diabetic curve, however it could not be determined whether the diabetes mellitus was primary or secondary to the use of topical steroid application. The patient has been treated with crotamiton cream and antifungal agent with remarkably effective results.

9.Shoulder Pain.
Journal of the Korean Academy of Family Medicine 2003;24(5):416-426
Shoulder is one of the most common sites of pain in outpatient clinic, and allows for almost unrestrained motion in all planes due to very unique anatomical structure. Detailed history taking and special physical examination based on basic anatomical and kinesiological knowledge are important for precise patient evaluation. Further radiographic and diagnostic laboratory test are required. Common causes of shoulder pain are adhesive capsulitis, impingement syndrome, rotator cuff tear, myofascial pain syndrome, and instability. Also cervical radiculopathy, lung, cardiac and abdominal problems should be considered as a cause of shoulder pain. Characteristics, physical examination tool, and treatment for common shoulder problems are described.
