Purpose: We report a case of pseudopapilledema combined with idiopathic papilledema in a pediatric patient receiving growth hormone treatment.Case summary: An 11-year-old girl without any underlying disease presented with bilateral transient visual obscurations, a dark-adaptation disorder, and helplessness that developed while she had been on growth hormone therapy for 3 months at a local clinic. Reduced visual acuity (from 20/20 to 20/25) was observed on physical examination and bilateral optic disc edema on fundus examination, growth hormone was immediately discontinued. Four weeks later, fundus examination revealed papilledema of both eyes with mild red-green dyschromatopsia. Recombinant growth hormone-associated idiopathic papilledema combined with pseudopapilledema was suspected. Although growth hormone, had been discontinued, we scheduled further observation of the papilledema. Conclusions Papilledema was observed on fundus examination during growth hormone treatment and four weeks after discontinuation thereof. The symptoms improved, but mild papilledema combined with pseudopapilledema remained.

BACKGROUND: The cyclin D1 gene is one of the most frequently amplified chromosomal regions(11ql3) in human carcinomas. In laryngeal and head and neck carcinomas, its overexpression has been shown to be associated with advanced local invasion and presence of lymph node metastases. Cyclin D1 may therefore play a key role in cell growth regulation and tumorigenesis. Lung cancer is a worldwide problem and in many contries it is the most lethal malignancy. As relapse is frequent after resection of early stage non-small cell lung cancer, there is an urgent need to define prognostic factors. PURPOSE: This study was undertaken to evaluate the prognostic value of the cyclin D1, that is one the G1 cyclins which control cell cycle progression by allowing G1 to S phase transition, on the patients in radically resected non-small cell lung cancer. METHOD: Total Si cases of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded blocks from resected primary non-small cell 11mg cancer from January 1., 1983 to July 31, 1995 at Hanyang University Hospital were available for both clinical follow-up and immunohistochemical staining using monoclonal antibodies for cyclin D1. RESULTS: The histologic classification of the tumor was based on WHO criteria, and the specimens included 45 squamous cell carcinomas, 25 adenocarcinomas and 11 large cell carcinomas. Cyclin D1 overexpression was noted in 26 cases of 81 cases tested (30.9%). Cyclin D1 expression was not significantly associated with cell types of the tumor, pathological staging and the size of the tumor. But cyclin D1 overexpression was significantly correlated with positive lymph node metastasis(p=0.035). The mean survival duration was 22.76+/-3.50 months in cyclin D1 positive group and 45.38 +/- 5.64 months in cyclin D1 negative group. There was a nearly significant difference in overall survival Between cyclin D1 positive and negative groups(p=0.0515) in radically resected non-small cell lung cancer. CONCLUISON: Based on this study, cyclin D1 overexpressiom appears at important poor prognostic indicator in non-small cell lung cancer and may have diagnostic and prognostic importance in the treatment of resectable non-small cell lung cancer.

Several postharvest diseases of table grapes (Vitis vinifera) occur during storage, and gray mold rot is a particularly severe disease because the causal agent, Botrytis cinerea, grows at temperatures as low as 0degrees C. Other postharvest diseases, such as those caused by Penicillium spp. and Aspergillus spp., also often lead to deterioration in the quality of table grapes after harvest. The use of plant essential oils such as thymol and linalool, to reduce postharvest diseases in several kinds of fruits, including table grapes and oranges, has received much attention in European countries. However, to the best of our knowledge there has been no report of the use of thymol fumigation to control gray mold in table grapes in Korea. Thymol (30 microg/mL) and linalool (120 microg/mL) significantly inhibited mycelial growth and conidia germination of B. cinerea. The occurrence rate of gray mold rot of B. cinerea and other unknown fungi was significantly reduced by fumigation with 30 microg/mL thymol in several table grape cultivars, such as Campbell early, Muscat Bailey A, Sheridan, and Geobong. In this study, fumigation with 30 microg/mL thymol, had no influence on the sugar content and hardness of grapes, but reduced fungal infection significantly. This suggests that 30 microg/mL thymol could be utilized to reduce deterioration of grapes due to gray mold and other fungal infections during long-term storage.
