STUDY DESIGN: A case report. OBJECTIVES: Lumbar burst fracture was treated with operation, which delayed recollapse of L1 and led to conus medullaris syndrome. SUMMARY OF LITERATURE REVIEW: After operation, conus medullaris syndrome causing by delayed recollapse is not frequently reported. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A 56-year-old male was admitted with lower back pain caused by a fall. Radiologic findings showed L1 burst fracture with about 42% of height loss. There was no neurologic deficit. Posterior fusion was performed using instrumentation. Five weeks after the operation, the patient was admitted for urination and defecation difficulty. Radiologic findings showed that the L1 had recollapsed with about 38% of height loss. To resolve the problem, anterior surgery was performed. RESULTS: Two years after surgery, bladder and anal sphincter dysfunction wasn't recovered. CONCLUSIONS: Lumbar burst fracture should be follow up carefully until union of the fracture because burst fracture leads to delayed recollapse.

PURPOSE: This study examined the effects of beraprost sodium on digital infrared thermal images in patients with peripheral arterial disease caused by type 2 diabetes mellitus. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-five diabetic patients with peripheral arterial disease were treated with beraprost sodium in a prospective, multicenter, cohort study from February 2013 to December 2014. Beraprost sodium (40 μg) was administered orally 3 times daily (120 μg/day) for 6 months. The visual analogue scale (VAS) and digital infrared thermal imaging (DITI) were performed to compare the blood flow improvement between before and after dosing. RESULTS: Among the 25 patients included in the evaluation, 22 patients completed the study. A significant increase in body temperature was observed in the front and left side, particularly in the plantar side in DITI compared to that before and after administration. An increase in body temperature was observed at the frontal part from 28.1℃±2.3℃ to 29.1℃±2.1℃ (p=0.021), at the left side from 27.8℃±2.4℃ to 28.6℃±1.9℃ (p=0.028), at the plantar part at 24.0℃±1.5℃, and at the plantar part at 27.1℃±2.4℃ (p < 0.01). The VAS decreased significantly from 5.4±1.3 to 2.7±2.0 after 6 months of treatment (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Beraprost sodium is a safe and easy-to use oral medication for diabetes peripheral arterial disease. It can be expected to increase the blood flow and decrease the lower extremity pain statistically after being taken for 6 months.

7.Diagnostic Performance of Diffusion-Weighted Steady-State Free Precession in Differential Diagnosis of Neoplastic and Benign Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures: Comparison to Diffusion-Weighted Echo-Planar Imaging.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of diffusion-weighted steady-state free precession (DW-SSFP) in comparison to diffusion-weighted echo-planar imaging (DW-EPI) for differentiating the neoplastic and benign osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The subjects were 40 patients with recent vertebral compression fractures but no history of vertebroplasty, spine operation, or chemotherapy. They had received 3-Tesla (T) spine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), including both DW-SSFP and DW-EPI sequences. The 40 patients included 20 with neoplastic vertebral fracture and 20 with benign osteoporotic vertebral fracture. In each fracture lesion, we obtained the signal intensity normalized by the signal intensity of normal bone marrow (SI norm) on DW-SSFP and the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) on DW-EPI. The correlation between the SI norm and the ADC in each lesion was analyzed using linear regression. The optimal cut-off values for the diagnosis of neoplastic fracture were determined in each sequence using Youden's J statistics and receiver operating characteristic curve analyses. RESULTS: In the neoplastic fracture, the median SI norm on DW-SSFP was higher and the median ADC on DW-EPI was lower than the benign osteoporotic fracture (5.24 vs. 1.30, P = 0.032, and 0.86 vs. 1.48, P = 0.041, respectively). Inverse linear correlations were evident between SI norm and ADC in both neoplastic and benign osteoporotic fractures (r = −0.45 and −0.61, respectively). The optimal cut-off values for diagnosis of neoplastic fracture were SI norm of 3.0 in DW-SSFP with the sensitivity and specificity of 90.4% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 81.0–99.0) and 95.3% (95% CI: 90.0–100.0), respectively, and ADC of 1.3 in DW-EPI with the sensitivity and specificity of 90.5% (95% CI: 80.0–100.0) and 70.4% (95% CI: 60.0–80.0), respectively. CONCLUSION: In 3-T MRI, DW-SSFP has comparable sensitivity and specificity to DW-EPI in differentiating the neoplastic vertebral fracture from the benign osteoporotic vertebral fracture.

We experienced one case of epidermoid cyst. This tumor occurs usually in early adult life. So simple excision and testicular preservation are desirable when frozen section reveals the presence of an unequivocally benign lesion.

We experienced a 61-year old man with Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia who had been diagnosed as having relapsed acute myelogenous leukemia(AML). He developed severe dyspnea in the nadir state after reinduction chemotherapy. His chest X-ray showed bilateral interstitial pneumonia in both lung fields. We started ventilator therapy and obtained sputum through the endotracheal tube. Typical P. carinii cysts were found in the sputum by Giemsa stain. No other organisms were found in thelavage sediments. From clinical observation and the presence of typical P. carinii cysts, the patient was diagnosed as having P. carinii pneumonia and was treated with sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim and glucocorticoid. This was the first reported case of P. carinii pneumonia in an AML patient undergoing chemotherapy in Korea.
