Hepatitis, Chronic*

This is to describe a neonatal hepatitis with pericellular hepatic fibrosis and Mallory bodies in a sero-positive infant for IgM anti-CMV. A necropsy of the liver revealed severe heaptocellular swelling with many intracytoplasmic hyaline bodies, pronounced fibrosis of a creeping type, bile stasis with ductular proliferation, and the lack of parenchymal regeneration. These microscopical changes of the liver resembled those of Indian Childhood Cirrhosis (ICC). In the present case the patient's serum IgM anti-CMV is the only clue for the etiological diagnosis.

Congenital fibrous bands may be found at the gluteus maximus, the gluteus medius,thequadriceqs,the triceps and the deltoideus muscles. Congenital fibrous bands of both gluteus maximus muscles are rare and cause extension contracture of the hip joints. We experienced a case of congenital fibrous bands of both gluteus maximus muscles associated with severe limited flexion of both hips. Almost full flexion of both hips was obtained by excision of the congenital fibrous bands.

Releasable suture was used to control anterior chamber depth and intraocular pressure during early postoperative period following trabeculectomy. Failure of releasable suture removal was due to entrapping of the tissue into suture knot or fibrosis between suture and surrounding tissues. Hence, the authors compared the failure rate of transconjunctival releasable suture and transcorneal releasable suture in trabeculectomy. The authors evaulated the 60 eyes of 60 patients undergoing trabeculectomy. Of these eyes, 30 eyes did not use Mitomycin C and transconjuctival releasable suture(15eyes) and transcorneal releasable suture(15eyes) at 2weeks after trabeculectomy, and the other 30 eyes used Mitomycin C and were removed transconjuctival releasable suture(15eyes) and transcorneal releasable suture(15eyes) removed at 4 weeks after trabeculectomy. With Mitomycin C, failure rate of releasable suture removal was 87% in transconjunctival releasable suture and 33% in transcorneal releasable suture. Without Mitomycin C, failure rate of releasable suture removal was 73% in transconjunctival releasable suture and 7% in transcorneal releasable suture. Recently, we have commonly used thin suture material such as 10-0 nylon and with use of antimetabolite let releasable suture was removed at late time. We suggest that transcorneal releasable suture can reduce the fibrosis of subconjunctival tissue and reaction between suture material and subconjunctival tissue.

Notch stenosis had been thought to be related with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the possible relationship between notch stenosis and ACL injury. We measured the notch seen on the axial section in MRI at popliteal groove. We have retrospectively analyzed 116 cases of knee MRI. All cases were divided into three groups ; Group I were fifty six normal knee. Group II were thirty knee with contact ACL injuries. Group III were thirty knee with non contact ACL injuries. The result were as follows; 1. Statistically significant difference was found in the notch width index (NWI) between group I and group III but no significant differences was found in the NWI between group I and group II. 2. Statistically significant correlation to non-contact ACL injuries was found in the NWI at both anterior and posterior outlet of the notch. 3. An unique shape of the notch was found in the majority of group III.There seemed to be an obvious relationship between notch stenosis and non-contact ACL injuries.
