BACKGROUND: Disinfection is essential for the prevention of hospital infoction. Tego-51, one of the amphoteric surfactants based on the dodecyl-di( aminoethyl)-glycine, has been considered as an effctive disinfectant having a broad specturn of antimicrobial activity. We evaluated the disinfective activity of Tego-51 against several clinical isolates of bacteria and yeasts including Helicobacter pyiori. METHODS: Twenty three strains of vacteria including H. pylori, and a strain of yeast were exposed to the various concentrations (0.05%, 0.01%, 0.005%) of Tego-51 for the various periods (0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16min). After the exposure to Tego-51 disinfectant, 0.01 mL of mixture of microorfanisms and Tego-51 was inoculated into brain-heart infusion broth, into Sabouraud dextrose agar. or Wilkins-Chalgren agar with 10% sheep blood, and incubated at 37 degrees C for 48 hours or in the Campy Pouch microaerophilic system. RESULTS: Most strains were killed within 30 seconds after an exposure to 0.01% of Tego-51, but Proteus mirabilis was eradicated after two minutes of exposure. At the concentration of 0.005 % concentration. P. mirabilis and Bacillus subtilis were killed after eight minutes od exposure. H. pylori was killed with 0.005% Tego-51within 30 seconds. Conslusions: This study showed that Tego-51disinfectant was effective for the disinfection of commonly isolated bacteria and yeast from hospital. It may be recommended that Tego-51 should be used at concentration greater than 0.1% for the effective disinfection of skin, instruments and hospital floors.

Hamartoma of the breast is a rare benign lesion presenting as palpable mass. They are, however, sometimes misdiagnosed by pathologist due to their resemblance to other benign or physiologic conditions of the breast. We report two cases of hamartomas of the breast. The clinical diagnosis was fibroadenoma in both cases. One patient was a 49-year-old woman presented with palpable mass for the duration of 5 months. Mammography showed a well demarcated round mass with homogeneous density which is slightly greater than the surrounding glandular tissue. Grossly it was a 3.5 3.0 2.0 cm sized round firm mass covered by thin fibrous tissue. Microscopically it was a well defined mass composed of variable amount of breast lobules, dilated ducts and adipose tissue surrounded by dense hyalinized connective tissue. The adipose tissue accounted for 30% of the entire lesion. Cellular atypism was not found. The other patient was a 18-year-old woman presented with palpable mass of the duration of 3 years, which was increased in size recently. Mammography demonstratesd a well delimited lobulated mass with lucent halo. Ultrasonography showed a well encapsulated low echoic mass admixed with high echoic areas. Grossly, it was a 4.0 4.0 2.0 cm sized well demarcated oval-shaped firm mass with translucent thin fibrous capsule.. Microscopic findings were similar to the former. The amount of adipose tissue was 20%.

Intraradicular disc herniation is a very rare form of disc herniation because the disc should migrate distally and laterally to enter the nerve root sheath. No case has been diagnosed before surgery. We descibe a 72-year-old woman who has an intraradicular disc herniation into the S1 nerve root and summarize the common features of the past reported 12 cases and this one. MRI showed enlarged nerve sleeve simulating root cyst at the S1 body level. At surgery, fusiform swelling of S1 nerve root adhered to anterior structure was seen and root tumor was suspected. Through the incised opening of the root sheath, two pieces of disc fragment were removed and final diagnosis of intraradicular disc herniation was made. Biopsy of extracted frag-ments revealed degenerative collagenous tissue. Patient's symptom was relieved almost immediately after surgery. An unusual form of intraradicular disc herniation is presented with review of the English language literatures.

BACKGROUND: The objective of this article is to evaluate clinical outcomes of combined orbital floor and medial wall fracture repair using a three-dimensional pre-bent titanium implant in an East Asian population. METHODS: Clinical and radiologic data were analyzed for 11 patients with concomitant orbital floor and medial wall fractures. A combined transcaruncular and inferior fornix approach with lateral canthotomy was used for the exposure of fractures. An appropriate three-dimensional preformed titanium implant was selected and inserted according to the characteristics of a given defect. RESULTS: Follow-up time ranged from 2 to 6 months (median, 4.07 months). All patients had a successful treatment outcome without any complications. Clinically significant enophthalmos was not observed after treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Three-dimensional pre-bent titanium implants are appropriate for use in the East Asian population, with a high success rate of anatomic restoration of the orbital volume and prevention of enophthalmos in combined orbital floor and medial wall fracture cases.

Adequate debridement and flap operations are effective treatment methods for chronic osteomyelitis. Several flap operations have been described for treating chronic osteomyelitis in various regions. We performed anterolateral thigh fasciocutaneous free flap and iliac bone graft for treating posttraumatic chronic osteomyelitis in hand. The result was successful with satisfactory control of osteomyelitis and avoiding amputation of fingers.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between the expression of cytokeratins, Ki-67 and the infection of human papillomavirus 16, 18 type in the carcinogenic progrssion of the uterine cervical epithelium. METHODS: Investigation the expression patterns of CKs and Ki-67 monoclonal antibody, and compared them with the incidence of HPV infection in 120 patients including 30 cases of normal cervical epithelium, 30 cases of LSIL, 30 cases of HSIL and 30 cases of SCC, to possible relationship between them. RESULTS: The expression of CK 14, and Ki-67 increased as the cervical lesions progressed from normal to SILs and SCC. In contrast, CK 13 is decreased as the cervical lesions progressed from normal to SILs and SCC. Statistical analysis revealed significant corelations between the CK 14 and spinal layer, between CK 13 and basal layer, between Ki-67 and all layers. HPV was detected in 16.7% of normal cervical tissue, 50.0% of LSIL, 70.0% of HSIL, 80.0% of SCC with PCR technique. The labelling indices of Ki-67 were significantly higher in HSIL than in normal cervical tissue and LSIL. The labelling indices were also higher in groups with positive reactions to CK 14, 13, and HPV than in groups with negative reactions to them. CONCLUSION: It was postulated that examination of patterns of immunoreactivity of CK 14, 13, and Ki- 67 could be a useful and convenient tool to explain the trasition from normal cervical epithelium to SCC via LSIL and HSIL and thereby predict the differentiation potential of the studies for lesions.
