E-cadherin is a cell adhesion molecule that is expressed abundantly in the kidney. However, the expression pattern in various renal epithelial cells is not well established. The purpose of this study was to determine the cellular localization along the nephron segments in the rat kidney. Kidneys from adult Sprague Dawley rats were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and processed for immunohistochemistry. Bumetanide-sensitive Na+/K+/2Cl- cotransporter (BSC1), thiazide-sensitive Na+/Cl- cotransporter (TSC), calbindin D28k, and H+-ATPase were used to identify the thick ascending, distal convoluted stubule, connecting tubule, and collecting duct, respectively. In the rat kidney, Ecadherin was expressed mainly in the basolateral domain of the collecting duct and papillary surface epithelial cells. The expression level of E-cadherin changed gradually in the connecting tubule and became moderate in the distal convoluted tubule, thick ascending limb, and loop of Henle. The S1 and S2 segment of the proximal tubule showed weak immunoreactivity. However, E-cadherin was not expressed in the S3 segment of the proximal tubule in the rat kidney. These results suggest that E-cadherin is a major adhesion molecule in the collecting duct and papillary surface epithelium, and that E-cadherin may play a critical role in maintaining the epithelial polarity of these nephron segments.

Relapsing polychondritis is an uncommon disease manifested by episodes of progressive inflammation and destruction of cartilage. While the cause remains unknown, an autoimmune pathogenesis appears likely. Characteristic features include auricular chondritis, arthritis, nasal chondritis, ocular inflammation, respiratory tract involvement and audiovestibular damage. The clinical course of patients may vary from a relatively benign illness free of clinically evident visceral involvement, to one of episodic or smoldering activity with variable intensity, to a f ulminant illness and death within months of diagnosis. Dapsone, corticosteroid and immunosuppressive agent remain the effective therapies. We have experienced a case of relapsing polychondritis and active pulmonary tuberculosis in a 69-year-old man. He suffered from arthralgia and swelling of joints for several months on the first admission and initially was diagnosed as pseudogout based on polyarthritis and chondrocalcinosis of right knee joint. During follow-up, chondritis of both auricles and nose, which was proved by the biosy of right auricle, and relapse of polyarthritis were developed. His spu tum smear for acid-fast bacillus was postive on the second admission. Then he was diagnosed as relapsing polychondritis and active pulmonary tuberculosis and has achieved improvement with medication of dapsone and antituberculosis drugs according to susceptability test during followed-up. Thus we report this case with literature review.

Castleman's disease is a benign disorder characterized by hypervascular lymphoid hyperplasia. The etiology of the disease is still unknown. Although it may occur at the various sites such as peritoneum, retroperitoneum, pelvic lymph node, muscle and lung, it occurs most commonly at the mediastinum. Even though specific pathophysiologic relations are still not clearly determined between two different histologic types -hyaline vascular type and plasma cell type-, there were several previous reports dealing with the plasma cell type transformed or progressed into different types of malignancies such as malignant lymphoma, Kaposi's sarcoma and Hodgkin's disease. We experienced a case of plasma cell type Castleman's disease that transformed into a malignant lymphoma and report this case with review of literatures.

BACKGROUND: Association of arterial stiffness and osteoporosis has been previously reported in women. However, this association is still controversial for men. Therefore, we investigated correlation of arterial stiffness and osteoporosis by measuring brachial-ankle (ba) pulse wave velocity (PWV) and bone mineral density (BMD). METHODS: We reviewed medical charts of 239 people (women: 128, men: 111) who visited the Health Promotion Center, retrospectively. ba-PWV was measured by automatic wave analyzer. Lumbar spine (L1-L4) BMD and femur BMD were measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. Metabolic syndrome was based on the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP)-Adult Treatment Panel (ATPIII) definition. Body mass index (BMI)>25 kg/m2 was used instead of waist circumference. RESULTS: In Pearson's correlation analysis, PWV and femur BMD (Neck, total) had a significant inverse relationship in men (r=-0.254, P=0.007; r=-0.202, P=0.034). In women, PWV and the L-spine, femur (Neck, total) had a significant inverse relationship. (r=-0.321, P<0.001; r=-0.189, P=0.032; r=-0.177, P=0.046) Age and PWV showed the greatest association in both men and women (r=0.46 P<0.001; r=0.525, P<0.001) In multiple regression analysis, the L-spine BMD and PWV had an independent relationship in women after adjusting for age, metabolic syndrome, BMI, smoking, drinking and exercise. (r=-0.229, P=0.015). No independent association was found between PWV and BMD in men. CONCLUSIONS: The association between arterial stiffness and BMD was confirmed in women. However, this association was not statistically significant for men.

Cerebral rete mirabile is a unusual form of chronic cerebrovascular occlusive disease characterized usually by bilateral stenosis of distal internal carotid arteries and their vicinity, by a hazy network of collateral circulation at the base of brain called moyamoya vessels and clinically by recurring hemispheric ischemic attack in children. We have reported here 2 cases of cerebral rete mirabile in children and performed newly developed operative procedure which we think is an ideal surgical method for treatment of this disease in children and is compared with other surgical treatment.

To assay the cytogenetic toxicity of NiCl, K2Cr2O7CdC12, and HgC12, the frequencies of sister chromatid exchanges(SCEs) and chromosomal aberrations were observed in the metaphase chromosomes of the human lymphocytes which were cultured with above materials. The frequencies of SCEs are dose-dependently increased by all materials in this experiment. Chromosomal aberrations, especially gap and break, are increased by the nickel and chromic compounds, while not significantly increased by the cadmium and mercurial compounds. This results indicate the dose dependent relationship between the frequencies of SCEs and the concentrations of the heavy metals, but the increasing rates of the SCEs induced by the heavy metals are less sensitive than other mutagens or carcinogens which were confirmed.
