4.Clinical Observation of Acute Suppurative Arthritis of Hip in Children
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1977;12(3):423-428
The authors did clinical analysis of 34 cases of suppurative athritis of hip for period of three years from Jan. 1973 to Jan. 1976 at Dept. of Orthopedics, Catholic Medical Center. Through this study following results were obtained. 1. Most of the patients were under the age of 6 years including twenty-six males and eight females. 2. Lag period to treatment in 10 cases was within 3 days, 14 cases within a week: most of these series were treated within a week. 3. Frequent clinical symptom and signs were pain on hip 34 cases, fever 30 cases, limited motion of hip 24 cases and flexion contracture 8 cases. 4. Causative micro-organism was isolated in the cases of diseased hip: Staphylococcus aureus in. 24 cases, β-hemolytic streptococcus in 8, pneumococcus 1, and Gram positive bacillus 1 cases. 5. The laboratory findings included leucocytosis over 15,000 per mm in 31 cases, increased erythrocyte-sedimentation rate 15mm per hour in 33 cases. All the cases were leucocytosis with increased ESR but. 5 were only increased ESR. 6. In authors experience early incision and drainage with specific antibiotics were a choice of treatment in the acute supprative arthritis of hip 7. Result become progressibly less satisfactory in proportion in the length of time after onset at which treatment is started. a) When sufficient time has elapsed for adhesion to develop the pocket to the head thus can not be drained properly by the active movements. Indeed, it is possible, that may be actually harmful in promoting absorption from such pocket. b) In case of long standing erosion of cartilage with denuded bone areas hinder or prevent efficient active movements. c) In case of long duration, blood stream infection is an ever present danger, as well as a aggrevation of existing organic disease by the infective process.

BACKGROUND: Numerous studies demonstrated that genistein induced the decrease of proliferation and apoptosis in a variety of cells. However, there is no report about the effect of genistein on proliferation and demise of mast cells. OBJECTIVE: This study was conducted to investigate genistein-induced aoptosis of mast cells as it pertains to both its basic drug mechanism and the potential therapeutics of the pathologic conditions accompanying mast cell proliferation. METHODS: p815 murine mastcytoma cell line was used to assess the effects of genistein treatment including viability and proliferation, morphlolgic study, DNA electrophoresis, the effect of caspase inhibitor, western blotting, and mitochondrial event. RESULTS: Genistein indeced many apoptotic manifestations as evidenced by changes in cell morphology, generation of DNA fragmentation, activation of caspase 3, and DNA hypoploidy. The reduction of mitochondrial membrae potential and the release of cytochrome c to cytosol were also demonstrated. However, reduction of mitochondrial membrane potential and cytochrome c release were not prevented by caspase inhibitors zVAD-fmk and BocD.fmk, or PTP(permeability transition pore) blockers such as bongkrekic acid and cyclosporin A. CONCLUSIONS: This in vitro study suggests that pathologic increases in mast cell number possibly be regulated in vivo by therapeutic strategy enhancing apoptosis by treatment of genistein.

BACKGROUND: The length of postoperative drug therapy remains controversial in pulmonary tuberculosis. We analyzed our experiences to determine the postoperative duration of chemotherapy after resection. METHODS: A retrospective review was performed in 66 of 95 patients that underwent pulmonary resection for pulmonary tuberculosis between January 1993 and December 1998. We compared the relapse rates according to the length of postoperative chemotherapy in each group, classified by the results of sputum AFB culture before the surgery, the number of resistant durgs, the number of prior treatment and the division of anti-TB drugs used postoperatively. RESULTS: Fifty three of 66(80.3%) were men and 13(19.7%) were women with a median age of 33.5 years(range, 16 to 63). The mean lengths of the pre-and post-operative chemotherapies were 4.9 months, and 12.9 months respectively. Five of 66 patients(7.6%) relapsed during the mean period of follow up(39.7 months). In the group less than three times of the prior treatment, there were two relapses(20%) in Ed-the highlight above-rephrase 10 patients that were medicated for 6 months or less, and one relapse in 43 patients(2.3%) that took medicine for more than 6 months(p=0.03). In the group using second-line drugs postoperatively, there was one relapse(25%) in four patients that were medicated for 12 months or less. No patient in a total of 17 that received medicine for more than 12 months relapsed(p=0.03). CONCLUSION: We recommend that patients with the prior treatment less than three times should be treated for more than 6 months after resection and patients using the second-line drugs postoperatively should be medicated for more than 12 months.
