A primary squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid is extremely rare disease. We evaluated this disease by fine needle aspiration cytology in a 43 year-old female. On physical examination, the thyroid was moderately enlarged and palpated with hard consistency. The cytologic aspirate revealed nests of squamous cells, malignant squame and thyroid follicular cells in the necrotic background. We diagnosed this tumor as squamous cell carcinoma with cytologic evidence. Surgically resected thyroid revealed well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. Immunohistochemical staining for antithyroglobulin proved that this tumor was primary in origin and clinical study confirmed this lesion to be of primary thyroid origin rather than metastasis or direct invasion from contiguous structures.

Intravenous lidocaine has been used for attenuating cardiovascular responses to endotracheal intubation. To determine the optimal time of administration of lidocaine for attenuating hemodynamic changes induced by intubation, 100 patients were allocated randomly to a control group (without lidocaine) or four treated groups (with lidocaine). Lidocaine 1.5 mg/kg was administered intravenously at 60 (Group 2), 90 (Group 3), 120 (Group 4) and 180 seconds (Group 5) before intubation. Arterial pressure (systolic, mean and diastolic), heart rate and rate-pressure product (RPP) were measured before induction, after lidocaine injection, immediatly before intubation, immediately and 5 minutes after intubation. After intubation, arterial pressure, heart rate and RPP increased significantly in every study groups. In group 2 and 3, however, such changes were attenuated significantly, Postintubation elevation of systolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure and RPP were effectively prevented in group 2 and 3. Lidocaine effect on diastolic pressure was observed only in group 3. Changes of heart rate were not affected with lidocaine adminiistration. In Group 4 and Group 5, this effect was not observed. In diastolic pressure, suppressive effect of lidocaine in increasing of blood pressure and RPP was observed in Group 3 significantly, but not in Group 2, Group 3 and Group 5. Changes of heart rate show that in all groups injected lidocaine (Group 2,3,4,5) significantly suppressive effect was not observed as compared with control group. These results suggest that intravenous lidocaine (1.5 mg/kg), 60-90 second prior to intubation attenuate hemodynamic responses induced by intubation.

A massive pulmonary embolism occurring during surgery is a fatal complication. Therefore, early detection and subsequent treatment of pulmonary emboli are important clinical challenges. In this report, an acute pulmonary embolism associated with cardiac arrest occurred during the surgical reduction of a femur fracture. It was diagnosed by echocardiography and treated with urokinase successfully. Therefore, we recommend the use of urokinase for the treatment of a intraoperative massive pulmonary embolism.

PURPOSE: To elucidate high-resolution CT(HRCT) findings and their pathologic basis in pulmonary oil embolism induced by LipiodoI-Adriamycin emulsion. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Pulmonary oil embolism was induced by infusing LipiodoI-Adriamycin emulsion through a peripheral vein in twelve Yorkshire pigs. Serial HRCT scans were performed on 2rid, 4th, 7th, 14th, and 28th day after the procedure. The pigs were sacrificed immediately after HRCT and histologic specimens were prepared in the same plane and level with HRCT. RESULTS: The basic pathology was reversible hemorrhagic edema of the lung. On HRCT, intraalveolar hemorrhage and edema in the acute stage manifested as ground-glass opacity or air-space consolidation of the whole secondary Iobule. The lesions were predominantly distributed over the dependent posterior lung fields because the specific gravity of Lipiodol is 1.28. Interlobular septal thickening due to edematous fluid collection was also associated. With the elapse of time, the extent and severity of the acute lesions resolved and, sometimes, changed into small nodular opacities. Pulmonary opacity was most severe on the post-embolization 2nd day and completely resolved within 2 weeks. CONCLUSION: Pulmonary embolization of LipiodoI-Adriamycin emulsion causes reversible hemorrhagic edema of the lung and Lipiodol toxicity seems to play a major role. HRCT findings of pulmonary oil embolism are quite different from those of pneumonia and pulmonary metastasis, which suggests the possibility of clincal application.

We reviewed 48 skin bicpsies obtained from 48 patients with epidermal nevus during a 10 year period from January 1981 to December 1990. The results are summarized as follows : 1) Of our 48 patients, 23 were male and 25 were female, and male to female ratio was 1 to 1.1. 2) The average of the patients was 19.8 years at the time of diagnois. 3) Lesions were present at birth in 45.7 percent of patients, and most of the remainder de veloped in childhood. The mean age of onset was 7.7 years. 4) The clinical varieties of the nevi in 48 patients were classified according to caicegories of nevus verrucosus, including systematized epidermal nevus, nevu, unius lateris, ichthyosis hystrix, epidermal nevus syndrome and inflammatory linear veirucous epidermal nevus. The most common type was nevus verrucosus(88.6%). 5) A large variety of histopathologic changes can be seen in epidermal nevi. The most common histopathologic .ype was nonspecific(31.3%), follows by common(12.5%), epidermolytic hyperkertosis(12.5%), and acanthosis nigricans(10.4%). 6) The most commonly affected area was head and neck(48.5%) followed by trunk(28.6%), upper limb(11.4%) and lower limb(2.9%).

The development of human melanocyte culture in vitro from normal adult skin and uninvolved skin of vitiligo patients is essential to investigate the mechanism of depigmentation in vitiligo and other pigmentary dermatoses. By using selective growth and long-term maintenance conditions, we selectively cultured melanocytes derived from normal foreskins and arm skins, and uninvolved foreskins and arm skins of vitiligo patients. The melanocytes of the arm skins were successfully cultured from the roofs of suction blisters. Melanocyte Growth Media (MGM) consisting of MCDB-153 formulation with basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), bovine pituitary extract (BPE), insulin, hydrocortisone, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and 10% human AB serum was sufficient to grow the melanocytes from normal and vitiligo donors. Melanocytes from uninvolved skin of vitiligo donors showed no different morphologic features, initial seeding capacity and population doubling time compared with those from normal skin. Melanocytes from both cell types grew without any lag period for more than 6 months (6-11 passages). Melanocytes obtained from foreskins had higher initial seeding capacity and shorter population doubling time than those obtained from arm skins using suction-blistered roofs. Our results suggest that the culture method using suction blisters may be a simple and easy way to obtain melanocytes. In addition, vitiligo melanocytes can be successfully cultured with appropriate growth conditions and may show no defective growth patterns. This culture system will be applied to investigate the basic pathophysiology of vitiligo and other various pigmentary dermatoses.

An important challenge in Parkinson’s disease (PD) based neuroscience and neuroimaging is mapping the neuronal connectivity of the basal ganglia to understand how the disease affects brain circuitry. However, a majority of diffusion tractography studies have shown difficulties in revealing connections between distant anatomic brain regions and visualizing basal ganglia connectome. In this current study, we investigated the differences in basal ganglia connectivity between 6-OHDA induced ex-vivo PD mouse model and normal ex-vivo mouse model by using diffusion tensor imaging tractography from diffusion-weighted images obtained with a high resolution 9.4 T MR scanner. Connectivity pattern of the basal ganglia were compared between five 6-OHDA and five control ex-vivo mouse brains using results of probabilistic tractography generated with PROBTRACKX. When compared with control mouse, 6-OHDA mouse showed significant enhancements to motor territory-related subthalamopallidal and pallido-subthalamic connectivity. Multi-fiber tractography combined with diffusion MRI data has the potential to help recognize the abnormalities found in connectivity of psychiatric and neurologic disease models.

Aberrant internal carotid artery in the middle ear is a rare disease which, if unrecognized on radiological studies, can lead to serious complications during tissue biopsy. We report the imaging features of a case with aberrant internal carotid artery in the middle ear. A 60-year-old woman visited our hospital because of hearing difficulty on the right side. Temporal bone CT showed a well-defined mass of the right middle ear and lateral bony defect in the carotid canal adjacent to the mass. After arterial phase temporal bone CT with spiral CT andangiography, the mass could be diagnosed as aberrant internal carotid artery in the middle ear.

Ameloblastoma is the most common odontogenic tumor of the jawbones, but the origin of this tumor has been remained to be unproven. Cytokeratins (CKs) are specific intermediate filament of epithelial cells, and vimentin is expressed in mesenchymal cells. The immunohistochemical detection of different CKs and vimentin has made it easier to know the origin of tumor. Paraffin-embedded tissue sections from 15 ameloblastomas and 1 ameloblastic carcinoma were used for immunohistochemical evaluation of CK 7, 8, 13, 14, 19 and vimentin. Their expression is evaluated in different tumor cells, which are observed in different type of tumors. In the follicular and reticular subtype, central stellate cells of tumor nests expressed CK 8, 14, 19 and peripheral columnar cells expressed CK 14. CK 7, and 13 were not expressed. Vimentin was detected in fibrous stroma around tumor nest, not in tumor cells. The tumor cells of ameloblastic carcinoma expressed CK 7, 14 and 19, but CK 8 was more weakly stained than that in ameloblastoma. Central stellate cells and peripheral columnar cells of acanthomatous subtype showed same expression pattern with others. Meta plastic squamous cells expressed CK 8, 14, 19 and keratinizing squamous cells expressed CK 13, 19. CK 7 and vimentin were not detected in tumor cells and vimentin was expressed in fibrous stroma. Most of the tumor cells of ameloblastoma showed CK 14 and CK 19 and did not express CK 7 and vimentin. These findings were similar to the immunophenotype of dental lamina. And these results will be beneficial to differential diagnosis of odontogenic tumors and other kind of tumors arising at the oral cavity.
