A case of myofibroblastoma of the breast in a 55-year-old man is described. Myofibroblastoma is a relatively recently recognized benign stromal tumor, and predominantly occurs in middle aged men. The pateint presented with a nontender firm mass in his right breast. Fine needle aspiration biopsy revealed bland looking stromal cell clusters without epithelial cells. Simple excision was done and the patient discharged uneventfully. The mass was well demarcated, lobulated and sligtly myxoid. Microscopically bipolar elongated spindle cell fascicles with interspersing broad collagen bands are so characteristic. Ultrastructurally the tumor cell show features of fibroblast as well as smooth muscle cell.

V.parahaemolyticus or V.alginolyticus infections are usually associated with consumption of raw or undercooked shellfish, contaminated food, and exposure of wounds to warm seawater. V.parahaemolyticus causes gastroenteritis(the most common syndrome), wound infections, and septicemia. V alginolyticus occasionally causes extraintestinal infections in humans. so far, the authors have not found the report of V.parahaemolyticus and V.alginolyticus isolation from a patient. So, we report a case of concurrent isolation of V.parahaemolyticus and V.alginolyticus from a patient who had a history of intestinal diarrhea and vomiting.

OBJECTIVE: In order to confirm the local production of total and specific IgE antibodies in the nasal polyp tissues. MATERIAL AND METHOD: We measured total IgE and house dust mite(Dermatophagoides pteronpssinus .' DP)-specific IgE antibody using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) in the supernatant of nasal polyp homogenates from 72 subjects undergoing nasal polypectomy. The subjects were divided into three groups according to skin reactivity to DP: 20 strongly atopic subjects to group I(mean wheal diameter) 3mm), 19 weakly atopic subjects to group II (mean wheal diameter 1-3mm) and 33 negative skin responders to group III. RESULT: Group I showed significantly higher levels of total and DP-specific IgE levels in the nasa

Prader-Willi(PW)syndrome is characterized by obesity, hypotonia, mental retardation, hypogonadism, short stature, excessive eating and characteristic facial appearance. Diabetes mellitus has been considered a component of PW syndrome. Recently this syndrome is caused by the absence of paternally derived genes normally located on chromosome segment 15 q11-q13 or may be the result of maternal uniparental disomy with the absence of paternally derived 15 q11-q13 region. The developement of probes containing segments of DNA from chromosome region 15 q11-q13 provides the oppotunity to confirm the diagnosis of PW syndrome by fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH). We experienced a 15-year-old boy of PW syndrome with diabetes mellitus, who revealed mental retardation, hypogonadism, obesity and microdeletion of chromosome 15 q11-q13 comfirmed by FISH.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare the rehabilitation nursing services what nurses recognize to be important and what they do in practice of the industrial workers. METHOD: The subjects were 150 nurses who were working at the industrial hospital. The questionnaire was made up with 43 items about the perception on importance and performance of rehabilitation services. RESULT: The highest services in the perception on importance and performance subscale were physical and therapeutic services. The highest difference between perception on importance and performance was the social and occupational services. The perception on importance of rehabilitation services had positive correlation with performance. The group take care of general patients had a higher level of perception on importance than the other group, and level of performance had significant difference with age and position. CONCLUSION: We need to develop the strategy for promoting the performance of services that recognize it will be important services, but not to do. Further study on system for promoting the nurse practitioner who responsible for rehabilitation nursing.

BACKGROUND: Cryopreservation of hematopoietic stem cells has become an important process due to the therapeutic protocol, which includes stem cell transplantation after chemotherapy, for many hematological malignancies. The conventional medium contains 10% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as a cryoprotectant, but this has been reported to be related with many complications. We analyzed the usefulness of trehalose, catalase and zVAD-fmk for cryopreservation along with using a reduced concentration of DMSO to 5%. METHODS: Peripheral blood stem cells were frozen in 10% DMSO as a control and also in 5% DMSO with trehalose and catalase. After 3 weeks of storage in a liquid nitrogen tank, the viability of the thawed hematopoietic stem cells was measured using Trypan blue staining and 7-AAD analysis via conducting flow cytometry. The colony forming potential was assessed using methylcellulose culture. We measured the viability of cells in 5% DMSO medium with or without addition of 30 uM zVAD-fmk right after thawing, and we also did this 6 and 24 hours after incubation. RESULTS: Cryopreserved cells in 5% DMSO with trehalose and catalase showed similar survival (50.42%) compared with the control (49.78%). The viability of cells that were also treated with added zVAD-fmk showed a better result (13.12%) than without it (5.5%) after 24 hours of incubation. Colony forming assay showed similar colony formation in 5% DMSO with the natural cryoprotectants. CONCLUSION: According to the results, lowering the DMSO concentration to 5% is significant and we can expect better cell viability and prevent many side effects of high dose DMSO when adding natural cryprotectants in the cryopreservation medium or by adding caspase-inhibitor right after thawing.
