In vivo 31P NMR spectroscopic study of forearm wrist flexor muscles was performed in two groups of volunteers composed respectively of 6 sedentaries and 6 canoe athletes. A continuous isometric contraction of endurance exercises was adopted in oder to assess the endurance capacity and recovery potential of skeletal muscles. Differences in high energy phosphorus metabolism between the sedentaries and athletes were evaluated with and emphasis on the intracellular pH and Pi/PCr ratio as indicators of high energy phosphorus metabolism. There were no differences of baseline pH and Pi/PCr ratio between the two groups. The athletes sustained the exercise at more acidic intracellular pH and at a higher Pi/PCr ratio of intracellular conditions for an all-out than did the sedentaries. The recovery rate of pH showed no difference between the two groups. There was a tendency of faster recovery of Pi/PCr in athletes showing half recovery time(T1/2) of 39.0±3.0 seconds as compared to that of sedentaries (55.7±7.5 seconds). The recovery rate of Pi/PCr as a function of Pi/PCr ratio at a given period of time was significantly faster in athletes than in sedentaries (P<0.001). The correlation coefficient of the recovery rate of Pi/PCr against the Pi/PCr ratio was 0.985 and 0.914 respectively for the athletes and sedentaries. The pH and the Pi/PCR ratio at an all-out state can be used as indicators of endurance capacity and the recovery rate of Pi/PCr, as a reovery potential of skeletal muscles.

Clinics in Shoulder and Elbow 2015;18(1):43-46
Pancoast syndrome (PS) is characterized by a malignant neoplasm of the superior sulcus of the lung with destructive lesions of the thoracic inlet and involvement of the brachial plexus and cervical sympathetic nerves. The most common initial symptom of PS is shoulder pain; however, cough, dyspnea, and hemoptysis, signs often associated with lung cancer, are not as common. Investigation of PS can be difficult even with plain radiographs of the chest because it is surrounded by osseous structures such as the ribs, vertebral bodies, and manubrium. Due to these characteristics, orthopedic surgeons tend to make a misdiagnosis resulting in delay of appropriate treatment. Here we report on a patient who was supposed to undergo rotator cuff repair for his shoulder pain and weakness, and was eventually diagnosed with PS.

We reported herein a rare case of a 65-year-old female who lead intestinal tuberculosis of about 2 months duration, with little late development of metastatit berculosis abscess of the skin. The lesions were egg tow wolnut-sized abscesses or nodules occu in, on the back, right flank and lower abdomen with no pain or mild tenderness. Physical exami saion was unremarkable on dissemination of other sites. The tuberculin test was negative. The skin esions were diagnosed by clinical, histopathologic features, and positive results for Mycobactc iuntuberculosis in smear.; and cultures in the pus discharge: as well as polymerase chain reaction nethod on the nodular lesion. A barium enema showed the findings of intestinal tuberculosis, with positive culture in the stool. A combined treatment was intituted. During the initial 4 month, utaneous lesions did not respond and in some cases worsened with the multidrug of isoniazicr fampin, pyrazinamide and streptomycin, all of which were surgically excised. Thereafter, the drugs of isoniazid and rifampin were further administered for ahout 14 months, with the complete resecution of both lesions and the systemic symptomatolo. There was no relapse at follow-up after 6 months.

8.Comparative Study on the Clinical Characteristics of Tuberculous Epididymitis and Nonspecific Chronic Epididymitis.
Korean Journal of Urology 1994;35(8):887-893
Differential diagnosis between tuberculous epididymitis and nonspecific chronic epididymitis is one of the most difficult problem in the field of urology. The definitive diagnosis of tuberculous epididymitis is often made by pathological examination of the epididymectomy or orchiectomy specimen. However, the preferred approach to treatment of tuberculous epididymitis is primarily antituberculous chemotherapy and we believe that as a primary measure, surgical procedure is avoidable with careful clinical work-up. A clinical comparative investigation was undertaken on 20 cases of tuberculous epididymitis and 13 cases of nonspecific chronic epididymitis, diagnosed by histopathologic examination during recent 6 year period. Tuberculous epididymitis occurred most frequently in men aged 21-30 years (80%), whereas nonspecific chronic epididymitis occurred frequently in men aged above 31 years (69.2%). Tuberculous epididymitis and nonspecific chronic epididymitis Were present clinically as painless scrotal mass in 70%, 53.8%, painful scrotal mass in 30%, 46.2%, and voiding symptoms in 15%, 7.7% respectively. Scrotal swelling were present in 30% of tuberculous epididymitis, but only in 7.7% of nonspecific epididymitis. Irregularity of mass were noted in 65% of tuberculous epididymitis, and in 23.1% of nonspecific epididymitis. Scrotal fistula were present only in 5% of tuberculous epididymitis. Of the patients with tuberculous epididymitis, 20% had a history of tuberculosis, and 46.1% of the patients with nonspecific chronic epididymitis had a history of acute epididymitis. In tuberculous epididymitis, clinical findings of concurrent infection with tuberculosis were found in kidney, prostate, vas, lung, and testis in order of frequency. Past history of tuberculosis or acute epididymitis and clinical findings of concurrent tuberculous lesions were helpful for clinical diagnosis, in 70% of the patients with tuberculous epididymitis and 46.2 % of the patients with nonspecific chronic epididymitis.

BACKGROUND: The present study was carried out in association with neutrophilic respiratory burst in the lung in order to clarify the pathogenesis of acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS) following acute severe hemorrhage. Because oxidative stress has been suggested as one of the principal factors causing tissue injury, the role of free radicals from neutrophils was assessed in acute hemorrhage-induced lung injury. METHOD: In Sprague-Dawley rats, hemorrhagic shock was induced by withdrawing blood(20 ml/kg of B.W) for 5 min and the hypotensive state was sustained for 60 min. To determine the mechanism and role of oxidative stress associated with phospholipase A2(PLA2) by neutrophils, the level of lung leakage, pulmonary myeloperoxidase(MPO), and the pulmonary PLA2 were measured. In addition, the production of free radicals was assessed in isolated neutrophils by cytochemical electron microscopy in the lung. RESULTS: In hypotensive shock-induced acute lung injury, the pulmonary MPO, the level of lung leakage and the production of free radicals were higher. The inhibition of PLA2 with mepacrine decreased the pulmonary MPO, level of lung leakage and the production of free radicals from neutrophils. CONCLUSION: A. neutrophilic respiratory burst is responsible for the oxidative stress causing acute lung injury followed by acute, severe hemorrhage. PLA2 activation is the principal cause of this oxidative stress.
