The obstructive sleep apnea syndrome can occur due to various etiologies in children. In otherwise healthy children, adenotonsillar hypertrophy is the leading cause of childhood obstuctive sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea caused by adenotonsillar hypertrophy can lead to a variety of symptoms and sequelae such as behavioral disturbance, enuresis, failure to thrive, developmental delay, cor pulmonale, and hypertension. So if obstructive sleep apnea is clinically suspected, proper treatment should be administered to the patient after diagnostic examinations. More than 80% improvement is seen in symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea caused by adenotonsillar hypertrophy in children after tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy. However, when it is impossible to treat the patient using surgical methods or residual symptoms remained after tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, additional treatments such as weight control, sleep position change, and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), should be considered. This paper reports a case using weight control and Auto-PAP to control mild sleep apnea and snoring, which in long-term follow-up were not resolved after tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy for severe obstructive sleep apnea.

IIn a randomized double-blind study, postoperative pain was assessed in 60 patients undergoing gynecologic surgery with three types of anesthesia; inhalation anesthesia only (enflurane-N2O-O2-vecuronium)(G); inhalation anesthesia with local infiltration (infiltration of the abdominal wall with 40 ml 0.25% bupivacaine along the line of the proposed incision)(GI); and inhalation anesthesia with epidural analgesia (morphine 2 mg mixed with 10 ml 0.125% bupivacaine)(GE). The severity of constant incisional pain, movement-associated incisional pain, and pain upon pressure applied to the surgical wound using 5 pounds of weight was assessed with a visual analogue scale at 2, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours after surgery. The duration of analgesia (time from the end of the surgery to the first request for analgesic) was 7.9+/-3.1 hours in group G, 22.8+/-4.8 hours in group GI, and 33.1+/-3.9 hours in group GE, with statistically significant differences between group G and other two groups. Forced vital capacity (FVC), peak expiratory flow, and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) were measured with the patients in a semisitting position. In all groups, there were no differences in above parameters, These results indicate that postoperative pain after lower aMominal surgery would be managed satisfactorily with infiltration of local anesthetic as well as epidural analgesia.

When a ribosome complex is stalled during the translation elongation process in eukaryotes, the mono-ubiquitination of Rps3 has recently been shown to be critical to ribosome quality control. We have discovered that the regulatory role of Rps3 mono-ubiquitination is controlled by a deubiquitinase. We also showed that an autophagic signal appears to be coupled to the mono-ubiquitination of Rps3p through the entrance of Ubp3p into the autophagosome in yeasts. The mono-ubiquitination of the Rps3 protein is tightly modulated by reciprocal action between the Hel2p E3 ligase and the Ubp3p deubiquitinase in yeasts and the reciprocal action between the RNF123 E3 ligase and the USP10 deubiquitinase in mammalian cells. We also found that the Ubp3p/USP10 deubiquitinases critically modulate Hel2p/RNF123-mediated Rps3p mono-ubiquitination. In addition, we found that Hel2p/RNF123 and Ubp3p/USP10 appeared to be differently localized in the ribosome complex after ultraviolet irradiation. Together, our results support a model in which coordinated ubiquitination and deubiquitination activities can finely balance the level of regulatory Rps3p mono-ubiquitination in ribosome-associated quality control and autophagy processes.

BACKGROUND: Several reports have suggested that preoperative nociceptive block with opioids and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may reduce postoperative pain. This study evaluated the effects of preemptive analgesia, the analgesic efficacy and safety of intravenous opioids and NSAIDs during the first 48 hours after lower abdominal surgery. METHODS: The 40 patients were randomized to either preemptive group or postincisional group. All subjects received IV bolus of 2 mg of morphine followed by continuous IV mixture (morphine 30 mg + ketorolac 90 mg + droperidol 2 mg in 90 ml of normal saline) via Baxter 2-Day Infusor(R). Evaluations included supplementary analgesics, analgesic pain assessment (visual analogue scale, VAS), time of first analgesic request, patient comfort (comfort scale), and side effects. RESULTS: There were no differences in number of patient requiring supplemental analgesic (3/20 vs 5/20), the time of first analgesic request (42.2 hours vs 37.5 hours), pain scores measured at each time, and patient comfort between two groups. There were minor complications such as nausea and somnolence in both groups, but no patients needed any treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Preemptive or postincisional morphine-ketorolac-droperidol infusion was equally effective for postoperative analgesia after lower abdominal surgery with minor complications. Further evaluation may be needed to determine whether preemptive analgesia has any advantages over postincisional analgesia.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to review the clinical features, treatments and prognosis of the borderline malignant tumors of the ovary. METHODS: Thirty-two patients with borderline malignant tumors of the ovary were admitted, operated and confirmed with postoperative histopathological study at department of obstetrics and gynecology, Yonsei University Wonju Christian Hospital. The data were collected retrospectively and all charts were reviewed. RESULTS: The incidence of borderline malignant ovarian tumor was 19.2% (32/167). Age distribution revealed between 18 and 77 years old, the mean age was 43.1 years old. As for the parity distribution of borderline malignant tumor, nulliparity was most common (43.8%). The most common chief complaint was abdominal distension (34.4%). Histologic subtypes were mucinous in 19 cases (59.4%), serous in 13 cases (40.6%). According to FIGO classification, 28 cases (87.5%) were stage I, 1 case (3.1%) was stage II, 3 cases (9.4%) were stage III. Sixteen cases (50%) underwent conservative surgery (unilateral salpingooophorectomy or cystectomy). Sixteen cases (50%) were treated with total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingooophorectomy. Fifteen cases (46.9%) received adjuvant postoperative chemotherapy. Excluding 5 cases lost to follow up, patients were alive and were followed from 9 months to 100 months. (mean 36 months).

Pleomorphic adenomas are the most common benign salivary gland neoplasms. However, they are rarely present in the minor salivary glands, neck, ear, mediastinum, external nose and nasal cavity. This case report describes a rare and unusual lesion found in a 48-year-old man, who, diagnosed as pleomorphic adenoma of the minor salivary glands in the inferior nasal turbinate, was treated with endoscopic removal.

A 67-year-old male visited Pusan Veterans Hospital due to general weakness and weight loss for 6 months. Physical examination showed non-tender 4 finger breaths sized splenomegaly and both inguinal and cervical lymphadenopathy. The white blood cell count was 25,300/uL with 91% morphologically mature lymphocytes. Bone marrow aspirate revealed hypercellularity with 74.5% lymphocytes morphologically similar to peripheral lymphocytes. The immunophenotpying study of lymphocytes displayed the phenotype of CD19(+), CD20(+), HLA-DR(+), sIg(+) but CD5(-). We concluded that this patients's diagnosis is CD 5 negative B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
