A 76-years old man with a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm underwent an emergency abdominal aortic replacement with artificial graft. The patient developed abdominal compartment syndrome at the day of the operation and he received secondary decompression operation the next day. At 45 hours after the second operation the patient was returned to operation room to close the abdominal fascia, and sigmoid colon necrosis was found so we performed sigmoid colectomy with colostomy. After 22 days from the last operation, the abdominal wound was closed completely and the patient was discharged at the 42nd postoperative day with a colostomy state. We report here on this complex case together with a review of the recent articles.

5.Induction of Dendritic Cell and Cytokine Gene Expression by In situ Delivery of Flt3 Ligand Plasmid.

Dendritic cell (DC)s are protessional antigen presenting cells and they have been used for antitumor immunotherapy or cell vaccines. However therapy using DC is restricted because the number of DC available from tissue is very low. Flt3 ligand (FL) has been known as a hematopoietic growth factor that increases proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells and progenitor cells, and recently it showed inducibility of dendritic cell (DC)s and signiticant antitumor effects in vivo. Thus FL will be frequently used for DC induction and antitumor immunotherapy in future. Here we constructed FL plasmid and studied its in vivo effect. FL plasmids were made by cloning of partial FL cDNA into pcDNA3 plasmid, and gene expression and protein producibility of FL plasmid were confirmed in Renca cells transfected with FL plasmid. Mice were injected with FL plasmid (100ug/mouse) three times and 20 days later mouse spleens were harvested for staining and RT-PCR. There were lots of blastogenic cells in the spleen of mice treated with FL plasmid. FL plasmid also induced DEC205, IL-12 and GM-CSF gene expression in mouse splenocyte. All these data suggest FL plasmid may be used for induction of DC and antitumor therapy as DNA adjuvant.

7.Parathyroid Cysts

The parathyroid cyst is a relatively uncommon disease and usually identified during the operation for a presumed thyroid mass. Thirteen cases of parathyroid cyst (2 males, 11 females) treated from 1981 to 1993 were reviewed. Ages ranged from 17 to 59 years(mean, 41 years). Gross measurement of the tumor size varied from 1.0 to 10.0 cm in diameter with a mean of 4.8cm. All of the 13 patients presented with a chief complaint of painless anterior cervical mass. Only one complained of mild symptom of dyspnea and voice change due to huge cyst in paratracheal space. No functional cyst was identified. Diagnostic studies included ^99mTc thyroid scan (n=11), ultrasonography (n=10), computerized tomography (n=4) and fine needle aspiration(FNA) (preoperative, n=4; intraoperative, n=3). All diagnostic precedures but needle aspiration were nonspecific. Cysts were found in right inferior parathyroid(n=4), left inferior parathyroid (n=7), or anterior superior mediastinum (n=2). The FNA of the cyst contents revealed watery clear fluid with elevated parathyroid hormone level and was diagnostic in each cases. Four patients were treated initially with needle aspiration, of which only one patient was successful, and 3 patients who were unsuccessful to needle aspiration and the remaining 9 were effectively treated with surgical extirpation. Our experience suggested that needle aspiration may be of significant help in diagnosis and treatment of parathyroid cyst, but most of the patient could be treated successfully by surgical extirpation with an excellent chance for curability.

With a ordinary goniometer, we measured the range of active motion of the wrist flexion, extension, ulnar and radial deviation in 120 normal adult subjects ranging in age from 20 to 49 years old. Normal limits were determined for the male and female groups, for the age groups, and for the right and left sides, respectively. The data were compared with the axial angles in roentgenograms that described by T.E. Keats in 1966. And we have undertaken a study of the correlation between the range of motion and the axial angles. The results were as following: 1. Range of active motion (degrees±standard deviation) Rexion; 73.9 ±6.386. extension; 65.9 ±5.164 unlar deviation; 28.3 ±5.124 radial deviation; 18.6±2.556 2. Axial angles (degrees±standard deviation) P-A view;73.8±3.985 lateral view;79.7±4.777 3. Males had a smaller range of motion than female in wrist joint. 4. The right side showed a smaller range of motion than the left. 5. There were no correlations between the range of motion and the axial angles.

9.A Case of Simultaneous Isolation of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio alginolyticus.

V.parahaemolyticus or V.alginolyticus infections are usually associated with consumption of raw or undercooked shellfish, contaminated food, and exposure of wounds to warm seawater. V.parahaemolyticus causes gastroenteritis(the most common syndrome), wound infections, and septicemia. V alginolyticus occasionally causes extraintestinal infections in humans. so far, the authors have not found the report of V.parahaemolyticus and V.alginolyticus isolation from a patient. So, we report a case of concurrent isolation of V.parahaemolyticus and V.alginolyticus from a patient who had a history of intestinal diarrhea and vomiting.
