Polyarteritis nodosa is systemic necrotizing vasculitis of medium and small-sized arteries and results in variable manifestations due to ischemia of the involving organs. Diagnosis can either be made pathologically by demonstrating necrotizing vasculitis of arteries or angiographycally by demonstrating small arterial aneurysm. We experienced a case of PAN with dilated cardiomyopathy, confirmed by clinical feature, renal biopsy, angiography and echocardiography.

Dubin-Johnson Syndrome is a form of benign, familial idiopathic jaundice presenting with chronic intermittentconjugated hyperbilirubinnmia and a melamin-like pigment has been found in the parenchymal liver cells. This disorder is rarely diagnosed in the neonatal period. We report a case of Dubin-Johnson syndrome presenting with neonatal cholestasis.

PURPOSE: To compare the clinical outcomes of recession, anterior transposition, and myectomy of overacting inferior oblique (IO) muscles. METHODS: A total of 69 patients, (92 eyes) who underwent recession (38 eyes), anterior transposition (25 eyes), or myectomy (29 eyes) for overacting IO muscles in one or both eyes, were evaluated retrospectively with a follow-up period of 12.8 months (3~60 months). RESULTS: We applied a grading system with a 5-point scale to the IO muscle. (0 to 4 for IO muscle overaction and 0 to -4 for IO underaction) The average preoperative IOOA was +2.13+/-0.94 in recession, +2.35+/-0.88 in anterior transposition, and +2.04+/-0.81 in myectomy. These were reduced to +2.04+/-0.81, +2.35+/-0.88, and -0.02+/-0.23 respectively. The average preoperative and postoperative hyperdeviation in primary gaze was 10.25+/-4.54PD to 2.37+/-0.98PD in recession, 9.02+/-4.53PD to 3.64+/-1.23PD in anterior transposition, and 7.25+/-3.21PD to 0.67+/-0.51PD in myectomy. CONCLUSIONS: Recession, anterior transposition, and myectomy of the IO muscles were all effective in IOOA and hyperdeviation, and showed continuing drift towards orthotropia.

OBJECTIVES: The analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) is a useful non-invasive tool to investigate the autonomic nerve function. Previous studies on the relationship between HRV and depression have been reported controversial results. Similarly, the correlation between the serum lipids and depression is debatable. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between heart rate variability, lipid profile and depression. METHODS: A total of 42 patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) and 32 age and sex-matched normal subjects who had no previous history of major medical and mental illnesses were recruited for this study. A structured-interview was used to assess the general characteristics and psychiatric illness. HRV measures were assessed by time-domain and frequency-domain analyses. Psychological symptoms were measured using the Hamilton rating scale for anxiety (HAM-A), Hamilton rating scale for depression (HAM-D). In addition, the evaluation for lipid profile was performed by blood test. RESULTS: In serum lipid profile test, MDD group showed higher cholesterol (197.68+/-42.94 mg/dL vs. 176.85+/-34.68 mg/dL, p=0.044), TG (139.45+/-92.54 mg/dL vs. 91.4+/-65.68 mg/dL, p=0.018), LDL (130.03+/-33.18 vs. 106.62+/-27.08, p=0.004) level than normal control group. In HRV time domain analyses, the standard deviation of the NN interval (SDNN) was decreased in MDD group than normal control group, but was not significant (32.82+/-14.33 ms vs. 40.36+/-21.40ms, p=0.078). ApEn (Approximate Entrophy) was significantly increased in MDD group than normal control group (1.13+/-0.11 vs. 0.91+/-0.18, p<0.001). ApEn was correlated with LDL level (r=0.277, p=0.028), HAM-D scores (r=0.534, p<0.001) and HAM-A scores (r=0.470, p<0.001). CONCLUSION: MDD patients showed increased ApEn, one of the HRV measurement. And this ApEn was correlated with LDL, HAM-D and HAM-A scores. In this study, the analysis of ApEn would be a useful test of MDD.
