We present a case of two-year old boy with solitary atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (AAH) in extralobar sequestration (ELS), which was misdiagnosed as diaphragmatic hernia before surgery. Review of AAH and pulmonary sequestration (PS) revealed that the present case is the youngest of solitary AAH and also the first report of solitary AAH arising in ELS without a primary lung cancer. In a sense, the present case firstly supports the hypothesis that ELS may be an underlying cancer predisposition syndrome, so aggressive surgical therapy should be recommended for ELS.

Objective To investite the effect of endotoxin pretreatment on lung injury induced by hepatic ischemia reperfusion in rabbits and its mechanism. Method Forty-eight New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into4 groups with 12 rabbits each group:routine control group,pretreatment control group,ischemia reperfusion group (IR group), and preperfusion group( LPS + IR group). Rabbits of routine control group received operative dissector only, and those of pretreatment control group received pretratment of daily intraabdominal injection of lipopo|ysaccharide(O.5,0.5,and 1.0 mg/kg,respectively)in the 3 days before operative dissector.Livers of IR group were rendered and ischeraic for 30 minutes, and repeffused for up to 4 hours. Rabbits of LPS +IR group received the preueaunent before heretic ischemia repeffusion. Four hours after reperfusion, serum endotoxin,tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), wet/dry ratio and broncho-alveolar lavage fluid protein content of lung,malondialdehyde(MDA) and mpenrxide dismutase(SOD) in lung homogenate, lung injury ratio, and activity of Nuclear factor-kB(NF-kB) in alveolar macrophage wene examined. Differences within the groups were analyzed using One way ANOVA. Results Between the two control groups,there were no significant differences in all indexes(P>0.05). The TNF-α[ (48.31±5.31)pg/ml vs.(56.47±5.09)pg/ml, P<0.01],wet/dry ratio [(4.98±0.33)vs. (5.22±0.31), P = 0.03],broncho-alveolar hvage fluid protein content[(0.68±0.11)g/L vs. (0.76±0.10)g/L, P =0.04],MDA[(0.86±0.06)nmol/mg vs. (0.93±0.07)nmol/mg, P =0.02],lung injury ra-tio[(13.4±4.3)% vs. (17.4±4.1)%, P = 0.03],and the activity of NF-gB[(5.82±1.12)OD/mm2 vs.(7.40±1.26)OD/mm2, P<0.01] in alveolar macrophage of the LPS+ IB group were all significantly lower than those of IB group, while the SOD[ (90.30±7.38 )U/rag vs. (84.44±7.90 )U/rag, P = 0.04]of LPS + IR group was significantly higher than that of IR group. Conclusions Endotoxin pretrealment may ameliorate the lung injury induced by hepatic isehernia reperfusion. The mechanism may be that endotoxin pretreatment deoreases production of serum TNF-α and the activity of NF-kB in alveolar maerophage.
