To evaluate the characteristics of MR findings in osteomyelitis, retrospective MR image interpretations were made in 18 patients with osteomyelitis proved either either by surgery(n=17) or clinical course(n=1). Osteomyelitis was acute in five patients, subacute in five, chronic in seven, and healed in one. Area of active inflammation had low marrow marrow signal intensity on T1-weighted images, high signal intensity on T2-weighted images inhomogeneously. It has been said that morrphologic characteristics of osteomyelitis in MR improved the accuracy in diagnosis of osteomyelitis and that gadolinium enhanced MR image further assisted in the planning of surgery. Out study was performed to observe the signal intensity change or morphologic change of bone marrow, cortex, periosteal reaction, and soft tissue which are specific for osteomyelitis. Multiple inhomogensous round marrow lesions were noted with central high signal intensity and peripheral low signal intensity on T1-weighted images, and central low signal intensity and peripheral high signal intensity on T2 weighted images in two patients. Intra and extraosseous abscesses showed rim enhancement after gadopentetate dimeglumine injectron. The signal intensity of the relatively higher than the internal area of the abscess on T1-weighted images. Cortical bone destruction showed high signal intensities T2-weighted images with destruction patterns of fine radial, circumferential, vertical or wedge shaped. MR imaging, by displaying specific signal intensities and morphological changes of bone marrow, cortex, periosteal reaction and soft tissue, would be an aid in early diagnosis and in planning for appropriate conservative and operative therapeutic procedures for osteomyelitis.

The recently proposed Bethesda system for cervical/vaginal cytology has made a standardization related to "atypia". In cellular changes due to inflammation or repair, the word "benign cellular change" has been suggested as a substitute for atypia. Terminology related to atypical cells may become standardized, but the cytologic criteria has not been well defined yet. We evaluated 160 cases of atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance(ASCUS) by the Bethesda System(TBS). Among 30,428 cases screened, a cytologic diagnosis of ASCUS was made in 498 cases(1.6%) and 160 cases were histologically verified. ASCUS was diagnosed based on nuclear enlargement and nonclassical signs of condyloma. The results are as follows: One hundred and twenty three cases(76.9%) revealed chronic cervicitis. Thirty seven cases(23.1%) demonstrated squamous intraepithelial lesion. Among intraepithelial lesions, condyloma and mild dysplasia were 28 cases(75.7%). Moderate and severe dysplasia were 5 cases(13.5%) and 4 cases(10.8%), respectively. It is concluded that patients with ASCUS should be colposcopically examined.

Giant cell tumor (GCT) occurs very unusually in the rib (less than 1% of GCT). We present the cytologic features of GCT of the rib. It showed multiple cellular clusters composed of characteristic, benign looking osteoclast-like multinucleated giant cells and fibroblast-like mononuclear cells. The multinucleated giant cells contained numerous nuclei (average, 30 to 40 per cell, which were closely packed. The nuclei in giant cells were remarkably uniform and round to oval. The mononuclear, neoplastic stromal cells were elongated and spindle-shaped, There was no cytologically malignant portion in the tumor.

A healthy 12-year-old girl had noted over 2 years a gradual-growing painless nodule on the area below the right axilla. The lesion measuring approxima:;ely 1.2 x 1.2 x 0.4cm in size, had a reddish-blue colored ulcerative papule raised on its cente with mucous discharge to compression. Histopathelogically, a circumscribed solid tumor located in the deep dermis, revealed the predominnntly epidermoid features of polyhedral cells, with the mucous cells within and at the peripiiery of the tumor. The mucous cells exhibited diastase-resistant PAS -positive, alcian-blue reactive at pH 2.5 and mucicarmine-positive reactions. Results of irnmunoperoxidase staining for cytokeratin and carcinoernbryonic antigen were focally cytoplasmic-positive, while negative for S-100 protein and epithlial membrane antigen. She has remained free of disease one year following excision.

BACKGROUND: Antibiotics are often indiscriminately prescribed for respiratory tract infections. This study was conducted to describe the prescription pattern of family physicians for respiratory tract infections. METHODS: In each clinic of 50 representative family practitioners, about 20 consecutive patients with diagnosis of respiratory tract infection were enrolled into the study. The data were collected by questionnaire to physicians just after patient interview. RESULTS: The number of study subjects was 1020, of which 55.7% was less than 15 year old. Antibiotics were prescribed to 73.9% of total subjects. According to diagnosis, the antibiotic prescription rate was 51.5% in common cold, 86.0% in pharyngitis, 88.6% in bronchitis, 98.9% in sinusitis, and 100% in otitis media. In common cold, the factors which significantly increased the antibiotic prescription were 1)patient age less than 15 year old (OR=1.70, CI=1.06-2.73), 2)more than two visits during the same episode(OR=1.95, CI=1.27-2.99), 3)yellow and thick rhinorrhea(OR=2.22, CI=1.16-4.25), 4)yellow and thick sputum(OR=3.31, CI=1.34-8.19), and 5)throat injection(OR=2.50, CI=1.42-4.39). Among patients to whom antibiotics were prescribed, 48.7% of patients were given the antibiotics by intramuscular injection. The most frequently prescribed antibiotics were penicillin and macroride among per-oral medicine and ribostamycin and lincomycin among intramuscular medicine. The reason for antibiotic prescription were 1)posssibility of bacterial infection(43.4%), 2)prevention of bacterial complication(23.7%), and 3)definite evidence of bacterial infection(22.5%). CONCLUSION: Family practitioners prescribe antibiotics indiscriminately for the respiratory tract infection. The prescription was influence by patient's age, number of clinic-visit, and clinical symptoms and signs.
