Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist has been used in the treatment of a wide variety of sex-hormone-related diseases, as the administration of GnRH agonist can alter the secretion of gonadotropin and sex hormones. Recently, we found that the long-acting GnRH agonist aggravated hyperthyroidism and induced painless thyroiditis. This is the first report to demonstrate the association of thyroid dysfunction with GnRH agonist injection in Korea. Here, we report three cases and emphasize the clinical importance of this aggravating factor in autoimmune thyroid disease.

Eosinophils are only a small minority of peripheral blood leucocytes and, in normal subjects, most are found in the tissues of the lung and gastrointestinal tract. Peripheral blood eosinophilia is occurred by various causes, allergic diseases, parasite infection, clonal disorder, and drug. Moderate to severe eosinophilia may be caused by the idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES), but the commonest cause of eosinophilia worldwide is helminthic infection and, in industrialized nations, atopic disease. Whatever the cause for the eosinophilia, in certain circumstances the eosinophils produce damage to various organs by activation of eosinophils, thrombotic events, release of eosinophil granule contents, and deposition of eosinophil proteins. Clinical manifestations are characterized by thromboembolic events of the involved organ, such as the heart, lungs, or nervous system. To our knowledge, the association between hypereosinophilia and intraabdominal multivessel (portal, splenic and superior mesenteric vein) thrombosis has never previously been reported. Thus, we report a case with portal, splenic and superior mesenteric venous thrombosis simultaneously with disseminated intravascular coagulapathy in the patient with hypereosinophilia.

PURPOSE: Although differentiated normal human nasal epithelial (NHNE) cells can be used to study the role of human nasal epithelium, there is a need for effective culture models of nasal epithelium in sinonasal disease status, including allergic rhinitis (AR). We aimed to examine the feasibility of intranasal brushing for culture of nasal epithelial cells in AR patients and to verify the hypothesis that allergic nasal epithelial (ARNE) cells differ in histologic and physiologic characteristics. METHODS: We established a system for isolating (via intranasal brushing) and culturing (with air-liquid interface, ALI) nasal epithelial cells from healthy volunteers (n=8) and AR patients (n=8). We used this system to compare the histologic findings and physiologic characteristics of NHNE and ARNE. RESULTS: The histology results showed that fully differentiated ALI culture was obtained at least 14 days after confluence and that both ciliated and secretory cells were well differentiated in ALI culture using nasal brushing. The histology results of ARNE culture were significantly different from NHNE. The number of ciliated cells was lower, and secretory cells were more dominant in ARNE cell culture compared to NHNE cells. We also observed, by electron microscopy, loose tight junctions and short cilia in cultured ARNE cells. In addition, the mRNA level of TSLP which was one of the epithelial-derived allergic cytokines was significantly higher, and the expressions of genes involved in ciliogenesis were lower in cultured ARNE cells without allergen stimulation. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that ALI culture of ARNE cells using intranasal brushing may be an alternative method for epithelial cell culture in AR patients and that cultured ARNE cells will be useful for in vitro studies of the mechanisms at play during AR because they maintain unique allergic characteristics.

PURPOSE: To report a case of occlusive retinal vasculitis in Churg-Strauss syndrome. CASE SUMMARY: A-48-year-old man visited our clinic complaining of suddenly decreased visual acuity in the left eye. Two months previously he had an operation for sinusitis, and he had been taking medications for asthma. In the initial examination, his best corrected visual acuity was 0.02 in the left eye. Fundus examination showed whitish, multiple, diffuse ischemic lesions around the posterior pole and slightly engorged retinal veins in the left eye. Fluorescein angiography showed delayed choroidal filling and delayed arteriovenous transit time in the left eye, but no apparently visible obstruction site. The eosinophil count was elevated to 65% in the white blood cell differentiated count, and perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) with antimyeloperoxidase specificity (MPO-ANCA) was increased, but a chest X-ray was normal. Eosinophil infiltrations in the mucosa of the paranasal sinus were found, and peripheral neuropathy was found in a nerve conduction study. Hence, we diagnosed the patient with Churg-Strauss syndrome accompanied by occlusive retinal vasculitis, and started steroid therapy. Thirty days later after steroid therapy, the best corrected visual acuity of the left eye was 0.4. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with occlusive retinal vasculitis, we need to consider systemic diseases, such as Churg-Strauss syndrome.
