Pulmonary carcinosarcoma(Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung) is a rare pulmonary malignancy, which is defined as having an admixtture of both carcinomatous and sarcomatous components. Pulmonary carcinosarcoma occurs most frequentlly in males between 50 and 80 years of age. It predominantly affects the upper lobe and/or the principal bronchi, and is associated with a history of smoking. Here, we report a case of pulmonary carcinosarcoma with a left lobe atelectasis due to an endobronchial mass in a 56-year-old male. After a left pneumonectomy, the pathologic stage was IIb (T3N0M0). Four months later, an abdominal mass was observed and exploratory laparotomy revealed metastases of the pulmonary carcinosarcoma to the pelvic cavity.

4.Frequency of Detection of Unexpected Antibodies in Transfusion Candidates at a Secondary Hospital in Gyeongbuk Province.
Korean Journal of Blood Transfusion 2011;22(3):231-236
BACKGROUND: Antibody screening and identification tests are indispensable tools for protecting patients from acute hemolytic transfusion reaction. The column agglutination method has been widely used because of its simplicity and superiority to other methods for detecting warm antibodies. The purpose of this study was to analyze the frequency, distribution and clinical characteristics of unexpected antibodies found in transfusion candidates at a secondary hospital in Gyeongbuk Province, Korea. METHODS: The antibody screening tests were carried out with 9,275 sera samples using the column agglutination method from July 2009 to September 2011. The antibodies were screened and identified using the DiaMed-ID system (DiaMed, Murten, Switzerland). RESULTS: The positive rate for antibody screening tests was 0.5% (50/9,275). Unexpected antibodies were identified in 36 cases (0.4%). The most frequently detected antibody was anti-Lea in 15 cases (30%), followed by anti-Leb in 10 cases (20%) and anti-E in 8 cases (16%). Antibodies that remain unidentified were detected in 11 cases (22%). CONCLUSION: Compared with previous reports, this study demonstrated that the frequency and distribution of unexpected antibodies were no different than those found in general hospitals. This study may provide data for the frequency and characteristics of unexpected antibodies in a secondary hospital.

Bethanechol, a cholinergic agonist, has been recommended for the management of peripheral anticholinergic side effects during the treatment of antipsychotic medications. But there have been few studies which have evaluated the drug interactions of antipsychotics and bethanechol, even the treatment effects of bethanechol on anticholinergic side effects. So the authors have evaluated whether psychopathology and plasma haloperidol and reduced haloperidol concentrations are significantly changed or not when bethanechol was administrated with maintained doses of haloperidol and other coadministrated drugs(such a benztropine). Also we have evaluated the abating effects of bethanechol on anticholinergic side effects during the treatment with haloperidol. Fifteen schizophrenics with higher than 5 of total score of anticholinergic side effects of 'Rating scale for side effect' were assigned to two groups, and bethanechol 30mg/day and 60mg/day were applied on each group for 4 weeks. The daily haloperidol dosages were fixed before 2 weeks of study. We assessed anticholinergic side effects by 'Rating scale for side effect' and psychopathology by BPRS, and plasma haloperidol and reduced haloperidol concentrations by HPLC at baseline, 2nd week and 4th week. The results were as followed. 1) There was no significant change of plasma haloperidol and reduced haloperidol concentration. 2) At baseline, the dosage of haloperidol showed significant correlation with the total score of anticholinergic side effect, but not at 2nd week and 4th week. 3) In 60mg/day group, dry mouth and the total score of anticholinergic side effects were significantly improved, but not in 30mg/day group. 4) There was no significant change of BPRS except withdrawal at 2nd week. These results suggest that coadministration of bethanechol influenced neither on psychopathology nor on plasma haloperidol and reduced haloperidol concentrations and that improved dry mouth and total score of anticholinergic side effects at 60mg/day.

BACKGROUND: Peroxiredoxin(Prx) is a novel peroxidase family to remove hydrogen peroxide using thioredoxin system, which is consisted of thioredoxin, thioredoxin reductase and NADPH. Several enzymatic antioxidants, such as superoxide dismutase, catalase and peroxidases are known to be present in the normal skin. But very little is known on the expression of Prx in the normal skin. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of Prx isotypes in the normal human and rat skin, and thus to understand the role of Prx in the skin. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this study, expression of 5 isotypes of Prx was evaluated in the primary cultures of keratinocytes and fibroblasts from human and rat, HaCaT cells and A431 cells by Western blot analysis. Also, immunohistochemical study for Prx I-IV expression was performed in the rat fibroblasts. RESULTS: Western blot analysis provided strong signals for Prx I, II and III with the cell extracts of cultured cells from the human and rat. The signals for Prx IV were weakly positive in hK, A431, hF and rF. The signals for Prx VI were positive in human cells, but were negative in rat cells. The finding were also identified in the intact skin. From immunocytochemical study for Prx I-IV, they were stained positively as a reticulated pattern in the cytoplasm of rF without isotype-specific difference. The positive reaction was strong in perinuclear cytoplasm. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that Prx is ubiquitously expressed in the normal human and rat skin with an isotype-specific expression by species and cell types.

Kerion celsi, a severe inflammatory type of tinea capitis, which occurs chiefly in children between the ages of 4 and 14 years. We report a case of kerion celsi occuring in an elderly woman. She is a 67-year old wonman, presented with inflammatory, boggy mass studded with broken hairs, and oozing purulent materials from follicular orifices on the parietal scalp, which had been extending over almost entire scalp for 2 weeks. Kerin celsi caused by M. canin with atypical microscopic findings of the colony on the Sabouraud's dextrose agar was diagnosed by PCR analysis using PAPD method. This case is reported with two interesting facts: Kerion celsi is occuring rarely in old persons; Clinically kerion celsi progessed rapidly after onset in this case.
