We experienced a case of primary hepatic actinomycosis which was initially diagnosed by means of fine needle aspiration. The patient was a 31-year-old emaciated man with a 2-month history of 10 kg weight loss, right upper quadrant pain and flank pain. The liver was palpable and tender on physical examination. Computerized tomography scan of the liver showed two ill-defined hypodense masses in gallbladder fossa and inferior pole of right lobe. Hepatocellular carcinoma was clinically suspected. A CT-guided fine needle aspiration was performed. Microscopically, smears showed numerous radiating clusters of filamentous bacteria with many neutrophils and monocytes in necrotic background. The symptoms were improved by incision and drainage and massive administration of penicillin.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the frequency, type and severity of cardiac abnormalities in the patients with ankylosing spondylitis and undifferentiated spondyloarthopathy. METHODS: A history, clinical examination, standard 12 lead electrocardiography, two dimensional, M mode, and Doppler echocardiographies were performed on 19 patients with ankylosing spondylitis, 15 patients with undifferentiated spondyloarthropathy and 21 normal controls. RESULTS: 1) Cardiac abnormalities were detected in 8 patients(42.1%) with ankylosing spondylitis. 2) Cardiac abnormalities were detected in 8 patients(53.3%) with undifferentiated spondyloarthropathy including 2 patients with aortic valve abnormalities(mild aortic insufficiency, aortic valve thickening. 3) Cardiac abnormalities were detected in one (4. 8%) among normal controls (mild tricuspid regurgitation). 4) There were sinus bradycardias on electrocardiography in 2 patients among patients witn anl;ylosing spond!litis and in 1 patient among undifferentiated spondyloarthropathy. But there was no conduction disturbance in both groups. 5) The frequency of cardiac abnormality was higher in patients with ankylosing spondylitis and undifferentiated spondyloarthropathy than in normal controls. 6) The mean age, mean disease duration, presence of uveitis, peripheral arthritis, HLA-B27, enthesopathy, Schober test and chest expansion in the patients with ankylosing spondylitis and undifferentiated spondyloarthropathy with cardiac abnormalities were not different from those in the patients without cardiac abnormalities. CONCLUSION: The frequency of cardiac abnormality was higher in patients with ankylosing spondylitis and undifferentiated spondyloarthropathy than in normal controls. The frequency, type and severity of cardiac involvement in patients with ankylosing spondylitis were not different from those in patients with undifferentiated spondyloarthropathy.

We analyzed ERCP findings of 15 patients with clonorchiasis, that were confirmed by stool examination and operation from May, 1976 to September, 1980. The results were as follows. 1) Filling defects due to adult worm of clonorchis sinensis were significant direct findings of clonorchiasis. 2) Irregular stenosis, fuzziness, raggedness, peripheral dilation and disturbance of peripheral filling of intrahepatic bile ducts were significant indirect findings of clonorchiasis. 3) ERCP was excellent method to evaluate biliary tree in patients with clonorchiasis, who showed obstructive jaundice.

Spontaneous subcapsular hematoma of the kidney is an uncommon, but there are only few reports on bilateral subcapsular hematoma associated with non-traumatic origin in the world. Several commonest causes for this phenomenon have been described : including disease of the kidney , nephritis, tumor, hydronephrosis, infection, tuberculosis. lithiasis and cystic disease, blood vessel disease ; arteriosclerosis, aneurysm, periarteritis nodosa and renal infarcts, blood dyscrasia. No definite causative factor was found in this case : that a 49-year-old woman was done the decortication of left kidney and hematoma remove, due to no specific abnormality in preoperative coagulation test, 24hr urine AFB stain, immunoserologic test and renal angiography.

Most cases of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) infection in Korea (outbreak: May 11-July 4, 2015) occurred in hospital settings, with uncertain transmission modes in some cases. We performed an in-depth investigation epidemiological survey on the 178th case to determine the precise mode of transmission. A 29-year-old man living in Pyeongtaek presented on June 16 with a febrile sensation, chills, and myalgia. Upon confirmatory diagnosis on June 23, he was treated in an isolation room and discharged on July 2 after cure. An epidemiological investigation of all possible infection routes indicated two likely modes of transmission: exposure to MERS in Pyeongtaek St. Mary's Hospital during a visit to his hospitalized father (May 18-29), and infection through frequent contact with his father between the latter's referral to Pyeongtaek Good Samaritan Bagae Hospital for treatment without confirmatory diagnosis until his death (May 29-June 6). Although lack of clear proof or evidence to the contrary does not allow a definitive conclusion, all other possibilities could be excluded by epidemiological inferences. While it is impossible to trace back the modes of transmission of all cases in a large-scale outbreak, case-by-case tracking and isolation of infected individuals and those in close contact with them is important in preventing the spread. Efforts should be made to establish a methodology for rapid tracking of all possible contacts and elimination-based identification of the precise modes of transmission.

Gastric carcinoid tumors were previously believed to be rare lesions, representing less than 2% of all carcinoid tumors and less than 1% of all stomach neoplasms. More recent studies have demonstrated that they may constitute as much as l0-30% of carcinoid tumors. We recently experienced a 35-years old businessman with gastric carcinoid tumor who camplained of postprandial epigastric discomfort. Gastrofiberscope showed protruding mass with central depression and erasion which was located on greater curvature of lower body and its size was 1 x 1 cm. Gastroendoscopic biopsy was per formed. It was identified to carcinoid tumor(Argyrophilic tumor). EUS(endoscopic ultrasonography) revealed that the lesion was limited to submucosa without evidence of any metastasis to adjacent lymph node. The carcinoid tumor was successfully removed by endoscopic polypectomy. Gastrofiberscope and EUS 9months after polypectomy showed that the lesion was nearly normal mucosa without submucosal thickening.
