Retroncyhia shows ingrowth of the nail toward the proximal nail folds. Initial events start from minor trauma of the digital pulp that disturbs longitudinal nail growth. This disturbed growth of the nail changes the growth direction to the proximal nail folds, leading to persistent paronychia, formation of granulation tissue, and other nail changes. Simple avulsion is curative and can improve most symptoms. There are few reports about retronychia in the English literature, and we report 3 cases of retronychia here.

Granulation tissues may arise around the nail in response to trauma to the nail or to ingrowing nails. Drugs, such as retinoids or antiviral agents may be the cause of granulation tissue of the whole body or nails. We experienced two cases of granulation tissue developed on the proximal nail folds and subungual area after putting on tight cast and Korean traditional socks respectively. We reported the cases with review of the literature.

Thymoma is a rare neoplasm associated with a number of autoimmune disorders and tumors. Organizing pneumonia is a reaction of the lung to various injuries. A feature of organizing pneumonia is plugs of granulation tissue within the lumens of small airways, or alveoli. Causes of organizing pneumonia include various disorders and conditions; however, thymoma with organizing pneumonia located in both lungs is very rare. We report a case of resolving organizing pneumonia after thymoma resection. Our case is the first to demonstrate that resolving organizing pneumonia can occur after thymoma resection, as has been speculated by many researchers.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of a paclitaxel-eluting expandable metallic stent in reducing tissue hyperplasia following stent placement in a canine tracheal model. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Nine paclitaxel-eluting stents (drug stent, DS) consisting of a proximal bare part and a distal polyurethane-covered part were placed in the trachea of nine dogs and nine control stents (control stent, CS) were placed in the other nine dogs. The dogs were scheduled to be sacrificed 12 weeks after stent placement. Gross and histological factors, such as epithelial erosion/ulcer, granulation tissue thickness and inflammatory cell infiltration were evaluated after each dog was sacrificed. RESULTS: There were no procedure-related complications or malpositioning of any of the stents. One CS migrated less than eight weeks following stent placement. Four dogs (one DS and three CS dogs) died between three and five weeks following stent placement. Therefore, pathologic specimens were obtained from eight DS and five CS dogs. Epithelial erosion/ulcer or inflammatory cell infiltration was slightly more prominent in the DS cases than in the CS cases, in both the bare part and the covered part. However, the data was not statistically significant. Granulation tissue thickness was lower in the DS cases than in the CS cases in both the bare part (mean, 3.63-mm vs. 4.37-mm) and the covered part (mean, 1.75-mm vs. 2.78 mm), but the data was also statistically insignificant. CONCLUSION: Although the data was not statistically significant, placement of paclitaxel-eluting expandable metallic stent demonstrates a tendency toward a decrease in granulation tissue thickness in canine tracheal models.

Cap polyposis is a rare intestinal disease that is characterized by the presence of inflammatory polyps consisting of elongated, tortuous and distended crypts that are covered by a 'cap' of granulation tissue. The pathogenesis and proper treatment of cap polyposis are still unclear. We experienced a case of cap polyposis, that was treated successfully by conservative management without the need for a pharmacotherapy or resection.

We studied the efficiency of various bone grafts in the assessment of new bone formation by tetracycline labeling in sixty rabbits. The rabbits were divided into four different groups. Vascularized tibial cortical segment(Group I), devascularized free cortical graft without intramedullary reaming (Group II-A), devascularized cortical graft with intramedullary reaming(Group II-B) and autoclaved free cortical graft(Group III) were evaluated by quantitative analysis of new bone formation after double labeling with tetracycline. Group I was found to produce most abundant periosteal new bone formation, and followed by Group II-A. Group II-B and Group IU showed approximately same amount of new bone formation. While endosteal new bone formation was predominant in Group II-A, periosteal new bone formation was more predominant in Group II-B. Intramedullary reaming seemed to inhibit endosteal bone formation in devascularized free cortical graft by interfering with the ingrowth of the vascular channels and granulation tissue through the medullary cavity.
