Septic arthritis in neonates is a rare condition. A failure to make an early diagnosis of septic arthritis in neonates may leave a permanent disability as a result of a delayed treatment. Thus, septic arthritis, requires a prompt diagnosis and a timely treatment especially in this subset of patients. In this case report, we describe our treatment protocol for septic arthritis and concurrent osteomyelitis in the right shoulder of a 28-day-old newborn. Using 2.4 mm wrist arthroscopy, we performed an arthroscopic irrigation and drainage, to remove intra-articular debris and inflammatory tissue, and multiple drilling. We report a satisfactory clinical outcome without any postoperative complications or side effects.

Gastric peptic ulcer operation is designed to reduce gastric secretion, of gastric acid and pepsin enough to control the peptic ulcer diathesis and also to have least complications after operation which are related to alterations of gastric motility and emptying rate. The author studied the physiologic effects of proximal gastric vagotomy with pyloroplasty on the gastric secretion, gastric acid, gastric pepsin, gastric motility and gastric emptying rate by means of the ballon-physiographic method through gastric fistula. In this exprimental studies, 2 kinds of animal i.e. dogs and cats were used. 15 dogs were used which were divided into 5 groups i.e. gastrostomy for control, proximal gastric vagotomy, truncal vagotomy only and truncal vagotomy with gastric pyloroplasty. Cats were used 25 ones which were divided into 3 groups i.e. gastrostomy for control, proximal gastric vagotomy and truncal vagotomy and following results and conclusion were obtained. 1. Important role on the gastric secretion, gastric acid, gastric pepsin, gastric motility, gastric emptying and the relationship between the intragastric pressure and volume.2. Both proximal gastric vagotomy and subtotal gastrectomy(Billroth II) made a marked reduction on the gastric secretion, gastric acid and gastric pepsin than that of control group but were similar to control group on the gastric motility and gastric emptying rate. 3. Truncal vagotomy alone caused marked reduction on gastric secretion, gastric acid and gastric pepsin and showed remarkable slowness on gastric motility and gastric emptying rate. 4. The wave of contraction and motility index in duodenum were more higher than that gastric body and antrum and antral contraction is higher than that of gastric body in control groups. 5. Pacesetter potential is formed by intrinsic myogenic phenomena and is related to motor activity and gastric emptying. 6. Truncal vagotomy with pyloroplasty hastened the gastric emptying rate of liquid meals and rate of emptying of solid meals was slightly faster than that of control groups. 7. Emptying of liquid meal is controlled by intragastric transmural pressure and emptying of solid meal is controlled by antral contraction. 8. The vagus distributed on the stomach was divided into cholinergic excitory fibers and noncholinergic or nonadrenergic inhibitory fibers. As gastric vagal inhibitory fibers were cut when vagotomy was done, pyloroplasty was must be done.

PURPOSE: Prostatic tumor induced gene-1 (PTI-1) is a mutated human EF-la and putative prostatic carcinoma tumor-inducing oncogene, that is differently expressed in prostatic cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia. And, it is more sensitive marker than prostate- specific antigen (PSA) for detecting human prostate cancer in the bloodstream. This study invastigated the expression of PTI-1 in paraffin embedded tissue of prostatic carcinoma, prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia, and benign prostatic hyperplasia using in situ PCR. MATERIALS AND METHODS: we evaluated expression of PTI-1 in prostatic carcinoma with prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) of 32 cases, benign hyperplasia of 20 cases, high grade transitional cell carcinoma of 10 cases and colon cancer of 10 cases for control group. Also, the immunohistochemical staining for PSA was performed to comparison with clinical value of PSA. RESULTS: The serum level of PSA was closely related to stage and Gleason score (p < 0.05). However, the results of immunohistochemical stains were variable to stage and Gleason score. PTI-1 using in situ PCR expressed in 50% of prostatic carcinoma, 41% of prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia, 10% of benign hyperplasia and colon cancer (p < 0.05). No expression is observed in transitional cell carcinoma. In prostatic carcinoma, PTI-1 expressed in 43.8% (7/16) of stage II, 50.0% (5/10) of stage III, and 66.7% (4/6) of stage IV (p<0.05). In PIN, expression of PTI-1 was similar to prostatic carcinoma (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: PTI-1 represented a relatively sensitive marker for prostatic carcinoma and PIN, indicator of prostatic carcinoma progression.

Primary cutaneous meningiomas are extremely rare tumors found in the cutis or subcutis, and generally have a benign course. The tend to be located on the scalp, face, neck. or paravertebral area. The primary cutaneous meningioma bears similarities to developmental defects and probably originates from arachnoid cell rests in the skin, although diverse groups of cutaneous meningiomas seem to arise from several different sources. A case of primary cutaneous meningioma occuring in the scalp of left parietal area of a 27-year-old female is presented. Clinically the lesion appeared as indolent, slow growing cutaneous mass and has no connection with underlying brain tissue, as determined by examination of the roentgenographs. The definite diagnosis was made after pathological examination. Microscopically the tumor is composed of sheets and nests of meningothelial cells. Immunohistochemical and electron microscopic studies reveal the typical findings of meningioma.
