The widespread use of diagnostic radiography, especially using magnetic resonance imaging, has helped to increase the diagnosis of paralabral cysts in patients with chronic shoulder pain. These paralabral cysts are frequent in the anterior, the superior, and the posterior compartment of the shoulder joint but are rare in the inferior compartment. Paralabral cysts in the shoulder appear particularly in men in their third and fourth decades but rarely in elderly patients. We report a case of an inferior paralabral cyst in an elderly patient whom we treated through arthroscopic decompression.

The aquatic quality of the Naktong river after two of three months in June, 1991 with phenol spillage from a electrical factory in Kumi was investigated. The samples were collected at six sites of the Naktong river basin and Kachang and Kongsan lakes. Phenol was not detected from all water samples. Turbidity was very much increased to the down stream in the Naktong river. The BOD and COD values exceeded the 2nd grade(3 mg/l) of the Korean standard quality of Environmental Water Act at the all sampling sites of the Naktong river. Especially, the value of COD at Kaejin (12.5 mg/l) was poorly classified as to the 5th grade of water class for the environmental quality standards. Organophosphorous pesticides such as parathion, malathion, fenitrothion and diazinon were investigated but not detected. Diazinon was only detected at the Ilson bridge(1.42 ppb), Okkye stream(6.95 ppb), Waekwan bridge(0.32 ppb), Gangjung reservior(0.13 ppb), Kaejin(0.05 ppb). Of the carbamates such as carbanyl, isoprocarb and cabofuran, the carbofuran was detected all sites except tap water, and Kachang and Kongsan lakes. The content of heavy metals such ans Cd, Pb, Zn, Fe, Mn, Hg were not exceeding for drinking water standards at the all sampling region, but only mecury was detected from Okkye stream(0.018ppb) and Kaejin(0.09ppb). In the regions of Kachang and Kongsan lakes, the content of heavy metals were lower than that of reservoir of Naktong river.

Coronary stent embolization is a rare event but may result in clinically relevant cardiac ischemia or peripheral embolization during the procedure. We report a case of systemic embolizations of two coil stents during the primary PTCA in acute myocardial infarction, who were treated successfully with a double wire helix technique and a gooseneck snare. Although in our experience this rare complication did not produce any clinical complications, care should be taken to prevent this possibility, especially in patients with significant vessel tortuosity, calcification, total occlusion, or mild stenosis proximal to the target lesion.

Primary gout is an as yet undefined inborn error of metabolism characterized by hyperuricemia, recurrent attacks of acute arthritis ordinarily responsive to colchicine, and in many instances eventually by tophaus deposit of urate. Also secondary gouty symptom complexes can be induced by various causes. The kidney is involved about 15 ~ 20% of gout and represented clinically as albuminuria, which may persist for several decades before nitrogen retention ensues, and progressively reveal the impairment of concentrating ability and delayed excretion of PSP. This patient has been chronically suffered from the right flank pain and intermittent oliguria due to bilateral ureteral obstruction by uric acid stone and crystals for five years and exploratory operation for stone turned out as gouty kidney complicated in the polycystic kidney. The authors report this case with review of the literature.

Gout often occurs in the first metatarsophalyngeal joint, and also in the ankle joint and posterior foot. Knee joint gouty arthritis is commonly reported, but gouty tophi in bilateral popliteal cysts, such as this case, are rare. We report on a case treated by cystectomy of gouty tophi in bilateral popliteal cysts and review.

To determine the therapeutic effect of closed-needle irrigation of knee for pain from osteoarthritis(OA), we conducted a randomized, single blind, 8 week prospective trial study. A comparison was done between the closed-needle irrigation of knee and standard conservative treatment in 30 patients with non-end stage OA of the knee. Statistically significant differences (P<0.05) favoring closed-needle irrigation of knee over conservative treatment were noted by the Visual Analog Scale for pain in these patients. Overall assessments on effectiveness of therapy by patients(Patient's global assessment) and physician(Knee rating scale) were also statistically superior among closed-needle irrigation group. We conclude that the closed-needle irrigation of knee for the treatment of pain from osteoarthritis is an effective treatment and is superior than the traditional conservative treatment in therapeutic effect.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Diabetic nephropathy is a growing cause of end-stage renal failure, and renal transplantation is considered the best option for survival in patients who experience such renal failure. Patients with diabetes are older and frequently have comorbidity, and only a minority of these patients is considered for renal transplantation. The survival rate of patients having diabetes treated with transplantation has improved, although the long-term prognosis has not been determined. This study examined the clinical outcome of renal transplantation in patients having diabetes compared to that in nondiabetic patients. METHODS: We compared diabetic (n=70) and nondiabetic (n=355) groups of patients for whom medical records were available for more than 3 months at our hospital from March 1998 to August 2008. RESULTS: The recipients were significantly older in the diabetic group (50.6+/- 10.5 vs. 39.8+/- 10.8 years), while donor age was significantly younger in that group (33.2+/- 9.0 vs. 37.5+/- 1.3 years). Cardiovascular events occurring after transplantation were more frequent in the diabetic group (11/70 vs. 10/355). Kaplan-Meier curves for cumulative survival of the renal allograft and patient survival revealed no difference between the two groups. The allograft survival rate in the diabetic group was 100% at 5 years and 79% at 10 years posttransplantation. In the nondiabetic group, the renal allograft survival rate was 98% at 5 years and 75% at 10 years. The patient survival rates did not differ significantly: 100% vs. 99% at 5 years and 91% vs. 91% at 10 years for the diabetic and nondiabetic groups, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: In our study, the long-term survival of renal transplantation in patients with diabetes equaled that of nondiabetic patients. Graft survival was also comparable between the two groups. Therefore, kidney transplantation may be another therapeutic option for end-stage diabetic nephropathy.

Endoscopic variceal ligation(EVL) is an accepted alternatives to endoscopic injection sclero- therapy(EIS) in many patients with bleeding esophageal varices. Esophageal hematoma is rare and an unusual complication after EVL or EIS. We present a patient with liver cirrhosis who developed an obstructive esophageal hematoma after EVL.
