Measurement of bone mineral density(BMD) of the spine may be affected by the presence of various factors such as osteophytes, osteosclerosis and spinal deformity, particularly in elderly persons. Therefore the accurate evaluation for osteoporosis is difficult in osteoarthritic spine and until now no technique can evaluate true mineral density of the osteoarthritic spine. So we performed this study to evaluate the effect of osteoarthritic changes of the spine on the BMD and various BMD values such as young-adult% and age-matched%. Additionally we evaluated the diagnostic value of the Singhs index in the advanced osteoporotic spine. We reviewed 50 patients with advanced osteoporosis of the spine retrospectively and they were divided into two groups; one consisted of 22 patients with osteoporosis alone and the other consisted of 28 patients with osteoporosis and osteoarthritic change on the spine. The measured mean BMD value in AP plane and that expressed in relation to reference data for young adults(young-adult%) of the patients with arthritic and osteoporotic spine were significantly higher than those of the patients with osteoporosis alone. On the other hand, values expressed in relation to the age and sex matched mean reference data(age-matched%) were not significantly higher in group of patients with osteoporosis and osteoarthritic change, and Singh s index was not diagnostic for the osteoporosis of the spine. But young-adult% were significantly lower than agematched% even in the osteoarthritic group. We concluded that young-adult% is mare useful value for diagnosis of the advanced osteoporosis in the osteoarthritic spine.

Restoring the microbiota via fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) can be an effective treatment for steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) of the gut. Here, we report two adult patients who underwent FMT to treat steroid-refractory acute GVHD of the gut. The first patient was a 43-year-old man who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) with cells from a matched sibling donor. The second patient was a 70-year-old woman who underwent haplo-identical HSCT with cells from her son. Gut GVHD developed at 7 and 4 weeks after HSCT, respectively. After undergoing FMT, the clinical symptoms improved; the first patient had a complete response and the second patient had a partial response. Microbial analyses using RNA gene sequencing showed that a diverse fecal microbiome was recovered by 4 weeks after FMT. FMT should be considered an effective therapeutic option for managing steroid-refractory acute GVHD of the gut.

Emphysematous pyelitis is uniquely characterized by gas-forming infection restricted to the renal collecting system. This disease entity is uncommon, and shows preferred occurrence in patients with diabetes mellitus or urinary tract obstruction. We report a case of bilateral emphysematous pyelitis in a diabetic end-stage renal disease patient undergoing peritoneal dialysis therapy. The patient was treated by medical treatment only and then recovered from infection, and she has maintained peritoneal dialysis until today. The authors report this case as a successful medical treatment for emphysematous pyelitis accompanying multiple risk factors, such as diabetes mellitus, amorphous medullary kidney stones, and even underlying maintaining peritoneal dialysis.

The periodic sharp wave complexes are the most characteristic EEG abnormalities in sCJD. We report the serial EEG findings in a patient with probable sCJD. The initial EEG showed diffuse theta and delta slowings only. However, it changed to the typical periodic sharp wave complexes according to the worsening clinical state. These changes occurred during a short-term interval. The serial EEGs within the short-term interval will be helpful for the earlier diagnosis of sCJD.
