This paper describes a case of agenesis of the right lung in a male neonate, who suffered respiratory difficulty. He was evaluated by plain X-ray, bronchography, lung perfusion scan, chest CT, and brain CT. After he died, autopsy was performed. The results revealed multiple anomalies which included cleft lip and palate, absence of left thumb and radius bone, hemivertebra between L1 and L2, arachnoid cyst in occipital lobe of brain. We report this case with brief review fo some related literature.

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES: Subacute combined degeneration (SCD) is a disease of spinal cord involving the posterior and lateral column due to vitamin B12 deficiency. The clinical and electrophysiologic findings of SCD are various. METHODS: From 1989 to 1996, 7 patients were diagnosed with SCD in our hospitals. The diagnosis was made by the neurologic and laboratory findings and electrophysiolgic studies such as nerve conduction studies(NCS) and evoked potential(EP). RESULT: Four patients received gastrectomy. Two had chronic atrophic, gastritis; one of them was assumed to have food-cobalamin malabsorrtion. The remaining one was a heavy drinker. The mean duration of neurologic symptoms was 35.7 months. The most common initial complaint was paresthesia (in 4) and impairment of cutaneous sensation was the most common neurologic sign At the time of diagnosis, 5 patients had myelopathy with was supported by EP in 3(60%). There were abnormal NCS findings in 5 f 6 patients with peripheral neuropathy. In one patient, there was no symptom and sign compatible with myelopathy but median nerve SEP showed bilateral central conduction delay. No one had visual symptoms but prolongation of P 100 was detected in 2 patients. Sural nerve biopsy was done in 2 case, which revealed chronic nonspecific neuropatby in one and chronic axonopathy in the other. Megaloblastic anemia was found in 4 cases and improved by cobalamin therapy in all the parents, in which the follow up hematologic data were available. There as a tendency that nonanemic patients had more severe neurologic symptoms than anemic ones. We could not find any relationship between the duration and severity of neurologic menifestations was best in the patients with the shortest duration of neurologic manifestations and hematologic feature festations. CONCLUSIONS: The authors suggest that early detection and treatment is very important for the improvement of symptoms in SCD.

Cutarieous manifest,ations and systemic complications were observed in 521 patient., with diabetes mellitus. The results were as follows: Total 70, 8% of patients had complications', In 16. 5%, cutaneous manifestation were observed. Systemic complications were observed in 27 6%, Both eutaneous manifestations and systemic complications were observed in 26 7% 2 The cutaneous mariifestations observed in 43 2%, were cutaneous infection, pruritus, shin spot, diabetic foit, peripheral edema, diahetic bulla, foot gangrene and rutieosis in the order of frequency, 3, The cutaneous manifestations were much more observed in patients with systemic complications than without them(p<0 05), and with longer duration more than 10 years history, 4. It seems to be no relationship between the cutancous manifestations and fasting blood sugar level.

A total of 53 patients infected with Taenia solium were treated with praziquantel in two different dose levels. Twenty-six cases were treated with praziquantel in a single oral dose of 5 mg/kg body weight. All cases except one were completely cured. The cure rate was 96.2 per cent. The other 27 cases were treated with a single dose of 10 mg/kg body weight. All cases were completely cured and revealed a cure rate of 100 per cent. Side effects were mild and transient. About half of the cases complained of a mild abdominal pain. Soft stool or diarrhea and dizziness were observed in some cases. Tests on clinical hematology, serum biochemistry and urinalysis were performed immediately before and one day after treatment in all cases. There were no significant abnormalities detected in these tests.

Flexor hallucis longus tendinitis is a common overuse syndrome in classic ballet dancers. To describe the clinical symptoms, diagnosis and non-operative and operative treatment, we evaluated twenty ballet dancers from march 1994 to August 1995. For the diagnosis, Tomasen test was helpful clinically and MRI was essential for surgical intervetion to find a tendon degeneration. Patients were classified into three groups by symptoms and clinical stages. All of the Group 1 and 2 were recovered by means of the conservative treatment. Two dancers belongs to Group 3 showed a severe degeneration of tendon on the MRI scan, finally was taken the an operation. Release of the tarsal tunnel were performed. Six months after operation, they could return to dancing.

The activation of the insulin-like growth factor-I-receptor system (IGF-IR) has recently emerged as critical events in transformation and tumorigenicity of several human tumors. In this study we investigated the expression of IGF-IR in 33 colorectal adenomas, 88 primary colorectal carcinomas, and 30 normal colonic mucosa adjacent to the carcinoma. Immunohistochemical staining (IHC) for IGF-IR was performed on paraffin embedded sections using an anti-IGF-IR rabbit polyclonal antibody. IHC stains for IGF-IR were scored using a semiquantitative scoring system. The relationship of IGF-IR staining to clinicopathologic variables and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) staining was also analysed. The mean IHC scores for IGF-IR of normal glands, adenoma, intramucosal carcinoma, node-negative carcinoma, and node-positive carcinoma were 0.41 0.96, 0.76 1.23, 2.0 1.48, 2.83 2.0 and 5.93 1.58, respectively. These scores for each category were statistically significant except between normal glands and adenoma and between intramucosal carcinoma and node-negative carcinomas. The mean PCNA indexes of normal glands, adenoma, intramucosal carcinoma, node-negative carcinoma, and node-positive carcinoma were 2.48 2.60, 6.94 11.03, 27.21 11.42, 43.36 9.9 and 57.60 10.01, respectively. The PCNA index for each category was statistically significant except between normal and adenoma. IGF-IR scores and PCNA indexes were higher with tumor progression and also correlated each other (sr=0.65, p=0.0001). Higher IGF-IR scores and PCNA indexes were seen in tumors with advanced stage, infiltrative growth pattern, poor differentiation, nerve invasion, lymphovascular invasion, and moderate fibrosis. Our results suggest that IGF-IR plays an important role in tumorigenicity and tumor progression.

Maspin is a recently described gene with tumor suppressor activity. The gene product is a 42 kD protein with homology to the serpin family of protease inhibitors and may play a role as an inhibitor of tumor cell invasion. The prior observation that invasive breast cancers and their metastases showed decreased maspin protein expression by immunostaining supports this speculation. However, the role of maspin in breast cancer progression has not been studied in detail. We, therefore, studied maspin protein expression in a series of hyperplasia, atypical ductal hyperplasia, intraductal carcinoma and invasive carcinomas. Immunohistochemical staining (IHC) for maspin was performed on paraffin sections of 136 breast specimens using a commercially available monoclonal antibody. Among the 106 cases studied were 36 moderate/florid ductal hyperplasia, 11 atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH), 29 intraductal carcinoma (IDC) (4 low grade, 13 intermediate grade, 12 high grade) and 30 invasive ductal carcinomas. Thirty cases of normal breast were also studied as control group. IHC stains were scored using a semiquantitative scoring system. The mean IHC scores for maspin for normal, moderate/florid hyperplasia, atypical ductal hyperplasia, intraductal carcinoma, and invasive carcinoma were 5.51 1.30, 7.36 0.72, 3.82 1.60, 4.48 2.69, 3.97 3.30, respectively. These scores for each category were statistically significant (p<0.05), except between ADH and IDC. Maspin protein expression was increased in most cases of moderate/florid hyperplasia, while maspin expression was more heterogeneous in ADH and IDC. In high grade IDC, maspin protein expression was stronger than low and intermediate grade IDC, and this suggests the possibility of a compensatory cellular response against the forces driving further tumor progression. Two thirds of invasive ductal carcinomas expressed maspin protein weakly and focally. All metastatic carcinomas of lymph nodes were negative for maspin. It is possible that high grade IDC with strong maspin expression may represent a subset less likely to progress to invasive cancer. This speculation merits investigation in clinical outcome studies.
