BACKGROUND: The FcgammaRII receptor, the only kind of Fc receptor in the platelet, plays important role for immune-complex mediated platelet activation, which occurs in Heparin induced thrombocytopenia(HIT) or antiphospholipid syndrome. The purpose of this research is to find out the role of gamma-subunit in FcgammaRII signal transduction of platelets. METHODS: After cross-linking the FcgammaRII receptors with IV.3 anti FcgammaRII specific antibody and Rabbit anti mouse antibody, we made the platelet lysate in the RIPA EDTA lysis buffer condition, and performed anti gamma-subunit immunoprecipitation. After polyacylamide gel electrophoresis and Western transfer, we probed the nitrocellulose membrane of gamma-subunit immunoprecipitate with anti gamma-subunit antibody. RESULTS: The mobility shift of gamma-subunit was observed upon FcgammaRII cross-linking. CONCLUSION: The gamma-subunit is activated upon FcgammaRII cross-linking, which means the gamma-subunit is involved in FcgammaRII signal transduction of platelet.

Lipomatous tumors represent a common group of neoplasm in adult life usually presented as a mass. Authors reviewed 872 benign liopmatous tumors and 39 liposarcomas in the Department of pathology, SNUH during last 10 years (1978-1987). Among the benign lipomatous tumors, the ordinary lipomas consisted of 80.8%, followed by angiolipomas (11.4%), fibrolipomas (2.3%), intramuscular lipomas (1.8%), and angiomyolipomas (1.4%). Most of the benign lipomatous tumors occurred at adult life and were rare in infancy and childhood except for lipoblastoma. In our series, the peak age of liposarcoma at the time presentation was 50 to 60 years, and the youngest age was 17 years. The myxoid type was the most common and it accounted for 38.5% of the cases. The two major sites were the extremities and retroperitoneum. Thirteen cases out of 39 liposarcomas had recurred and 2 cases had lymph node metastases at the time of presentation.

Clinical observation was made on 6 cases with Acromioclavicular separation who were treated conservatively at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Pusan National University Hospital. 1) The authors experienced good functional results in those cases with conservative treatment. 2) Closed method is desirable for grade I & II acromioclavicular separation as primary treatment and also, even for grade III depending upon the situation. 3) The authors recommended the convenient Kenny-Howard sling halter as a conservative treatment in Koreans who refuse operation.

A case of neonatal diabetes mellitus is described. The child presented with low birth weight but was normal in appearance. She was acidotic and ketonuria was observed. The HLA typing was DR1 and 3, and insulin autoantibodies were negative. Genetic analysis with polymorphic DNA markers for chromosome 6 indicated biparental inheritance. She required insulin therapy for the control of hyperglycemia, and insulin dependence continues after 8 months of age.

PURPOSE: Clean intermittent catheterization is considered the treatment of choice for incomplete bladder emptying, however, many patients find it discouraging and unsatisfactory, imposing lower quality of life and decreased sense of self-esteem. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of a newly designed, remote-controlled, intraurethral insert for the treatment of voiding dysfunction in women. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This article describes our experience with 53 patients previously treated by self intermittent catheterization, suprapubic catheter, diapers or indwelling catheter. A valve-pump assembly is encased in a shorts, temporary silicone catheter available in various lengths and diameters to adapt to the individual patient's urethra. A hand held, remote-control unit activates the device allowing complete and controllable bladder evacuation and continence between urinations. RESULTS: The age of patients is 16-88 years old(mean 53.4years old). Mean follow-up is 7 months(range 1-26 months). Urinary flow ranged from 11.3+/-0.64m1/second. The device was replaced every 5-99 days(mean 38 days), mainly due to salt deposits in and around the insert leading to urine leakage. Fourteen patients experienced urinary tract infection, all of which subsided with oral antibiotics. All patients were satisfied with the treatment and preferred it to previous treatment modalities used. CONCLUSIONS: We consider that this new, remote controlled intraurethral insert is another useful treatment for the management of women with voiding difficulties.
