Pyriform sinus fistula (PSF) is a persistent embryologic third or fourth pharyngeal pouch, which typically presents as a congenital sinus tract that originates from the pyriform sinus. PSF is among the most uncommon congenital malformation of the neck. The usual clinical manifestations are either acute thyroiditis or abscess, usually on the left side of the neck. We report a case of PSF in a 9-year old female with a left cervical abscess who had been diagnosed by barium esophagogram and treated endoscopically by injection of histoacryl.

PURPOSE: We compared the biochemical and clinical presentation of gouty diathesis in patients with uric acid and calcium nephrolithiasis MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed biochemical and clinical data from 69 gouty diathesis patients(48 with uric acid stones and 21 with calcium stones) and 57 normal subjects were performed at our institution. RESULTS: Demographic similarity between two groups was a male predominance. Gouty diathesis patients in both groups showed abnormally low urinary pH(<5.5) and propensity for hyperuricemia and hypertriglyceridemia. Gouty arthritis and hyperuricemia was found in 31% and 44% of those with uric acid stones whereas 9.5% and 23.8% in those with calcium stone respectively. In control group, 1 case presented with hyperuricemia and urinary pH at 6.3. Both urinary pH and citrate increased after potassium citrate treatment in both groups. CONCLUSIONS: The two groups of gouty diathesis with either uric acid stone or calcium stones have similar biochemical and clinical features that are characteristic of primary gout. Calcium stone formation in patients with hyperuricemia or persistent acidic urine may represent a latent form of gout. Patients with calcium stones and biochemical feature of gouty diathesis may manifest primary gouty. Both groups are responsive to potassium citrate treatment.

PURPOSE: PVP using a high-power potassium-titanly-phosphate(KTP) laser offers safe and efficacious surgical therapy for men with symptomatic BPH. To demonstrate its efficacy, safety and durability, we present the results of PVP for treatment of BPH with 12 month follow-up. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 104 consecutive men with symptomatic BPH underwent PVP with an 80 W KTP laser (Laserscope) between July 2003 and August 2004. All underwent preoperative and postoperative evaluation, including assessments of international prostate symptom score(IPSS), quality of life(QOL), peak urinary flow rate(Qmax), post-void residual volume(PVR), prostate specific antigen(PSA), and ultrasound prostate volume(PV). Secondary outcome parameters included surgical time, anesthesia, and length of catheterization. Follow-up assessment occurred at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed rank test. RESULTS: Preoperative mean PV was 57.2+/-4.2 ml. PV decreased to 38.9, 35.4, 32.8 and 35.8 at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months (p <0.01 versus preoperative value). Mean improvements in IPSS, QOL, Qmax, and PVR at 12 months were 67%, 81%, 138% and 94%, respectively(p <0.001). Mean operative time was 26.3+/-15.0 minutes. Anesthesia included pudendal and prostatic block(n=102) and spinal anesthesia(n=2). Ninety-nine(95%) patients were treated as outpatients( <12 hrs) and the remaining 5 patients were admitted for 1 or 2 hospital days. Mean catheterization times were 9.8+/-3.1 hours(range 0~72), with 28(27%) patients not requiring a catheter post-operatively. Minor complications included mild hematuria lasting 3 weeks(3.8%), transient post-operative retention(2.9%), urge incontinence(1.9%), transient dysuria(25%), frequency(21.2%), urgency(17.3%) and retrograde ejaculation(41%). CONCLUSIONS: These results demonstrate that PVP is safe and efficacious for the treatment of symptomatic BPH. Long follow-up will further validate this new modality as the standard for surgical treatment of BPH.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study is to examine whether the blood cells in the platelet concentrate (PC) and the PC arrangement method can affect the pH which is one of the important factors influencing the survival and function of the preserved PCs. METHOD: Two groups of CPDA-1 added PC were preserved at 20 ~ 24degrees C for 7 days. The PCs in group I were overlapped one another while those in group II were not overlapped and arranged separately during the preservation period. The number of RBC, WBC and platelets were measured at the first day of the preservation period while the pH was measured at the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th day. RESULTS: The number of blood cells in the PC was 0.6x109 for WBC, 1.6x109 for RBC and 800x109 for platelet. As for the average pH, the 1st day's average pH was 7.4 for group I and 7.3 for group II, while at the 7th day, both decreased by 0.6. According to the correlation analysis between the blood cells and the pH changes, as for group I, the more the number of platelets were, the lower the pH decreased, and as for group II, the more the WBC and platelets were, the lower the pH decreased. (p<0.01) CONCLUSION: This study indicates that the major parameter affecting the pH of the preserved PCs is the number of platelets. In addition to platelet, the number of WBCs affected the pH when PCs were overlapped during storage. Conclusionally the key factor which affects pH of stored PCs was the number of platelets. And the number of contaminated WBCs also were thought to be an important factor.
