The incidence of W-P-W syndrome is often noted in patients without other evidence of heart diseases. However, most of them wlll have supraventricular arrhythmias, characterized by paroxismal tachyarrhythmias. W-P-W- syndrome may be complicated by severe hypotension, syncope, congestive heart failure, atrial and/or ventrioular fibrillation and even sudden death, We experienced a case of W-P-W syndrome Immediately after induction of general anes-thesia on a patient with preoperatively normal ECG patterne and no evidence of otder heart disease.

Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is an uncommon cause of presinusoidal portal hypertension. Among various hepatoportal disorders, noncirrhotic portal hypertension conditions such as idiopathic portal hypertension (IPH) are considered to have a close relation with PVT. PVT is known to have several predisposing conditions, including infection, malignancies, and coagulation disorders. There is growing interest and recognition that deficiencies in proteins C and S are associated with a hypercoagulable state. These deficiencies are regarded as key factors of systemic hypercoagulability and recurrent venous thromboembolism. We report the case of a 19-year-old male diagnosed as IPH with PVT and combined deficiencies in proteins C and S.

PURPOSE: Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) frequently develops in patients with liver cirrhosis; however, there is little data to suggest whether the acquisition site of infection influences the prognosis. This study compared the bacteriology, clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of community-acquired SBP (CA-SBP) and nosocomial SBP (N-SBP). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The medical records of 130 patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related liver cirrhosis, who had experienced a first episode of SBP between January 1999 and December 2008, were reviewed. RESULTS: The study population included 111 (85.4%) patients with CA-SBP and 19 (14.6%) patients with N-SBP. Baseline and microbiological characteristics as well as clinical course, including in-hospital mortality, did not differ between patients with CA-SBP and those with N-SBP (all p>0.05). The median survival time was 6.5 months, and 117 (90.0%) patients died during the follow-up period. Patients with CA-SBP and N-SBP survived for median periods of 6.6 and 6.2 months, respectively, without significant difference (p=0.569). Time to recurrence did not differ between patients with CA-SBP and N-SBP (4.7 vs. 3.6 months, p=0.925). CONCLUSION: The acquisition site of infection did not affect clinical outcomes for patients with HBV-related liver cirrhosis who had experienced their first episode of SBP. Third-generation cephalosporins may be effective in empirically treating these patients, regardless of the acquisition site of the infection.

PURPOSE: To evaluate functional MR imaging of the motor speech area with and without motor stimulation duringthe rest period. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Nine healthy, right-handed volunteers(M:F=7:2, age:21-40years) wereincluded in this study. Brain activity was mapped using a multislice, gradient echo single shot EPI on a 1.5T MRscanner. The paradigm consisted on a series of alternating rest and activation tasks, performed six times. Each volunteer in the first study(group A) was given examples of motor stimulation during the rest period, while eachin the second study(group B) was not given examples of a rest period. Motor stimulation in group A was achieved bycontinuously flexing five fingers of the right hand. In both groups, maximum internal word generation was achievedduring the activation period. Using fMRI analysis software(Stimulate 5.0) and a cross-correlationmethod(background threshold, 200; correlation threshold, 0.3; ceiling, 1.0; floor, 0.3; minimal count, 3),functional images were analysed. After correlating the activated foci and a time-signal intensity curve, theactivated brain cortex and number of pixels were analysed and compared between the two tasks. The t-test was usedfor statistical analysis. RESULT: In all nine subjects in group A and B, activation was observed in and adjacentto the left Broca's area. The mean number of activated pixels was 31.6 in group A and 27.8 in group B, adifference which was not statistically significant(P>0.1). Activities in and adjacent to the right Broca 's areawere seen in seven of group A and four of group B. The mean number of activated pixels was 14.9 in group A and 18in group B. Eight of nine volunteers in group A showed activity in the left primary motor area with negativecorrelation to the time-signal intensity curve. The mean number of activated pixels for this group was 17.5. Inthree volonteers, activation in the right primary motor area was also observed, the mean number of activatedpixels in these cases was 10.0. CONCLUSION: During the rest period, functional MR imaging of the motor speechcenter combined with motor stimulation was more effective than that without stimulation, and simultaneouslyprovided mapping of the primary motor area.

OBJECTIVE: We studied clinical characteristics of patients have endometriosis to provide basic knowledge for diagnosis, treatment, and futher study of endometriosis. METHODS: We have performed a retrospective clinical study on 163 patients diagnosed with endometriosis during laparotomy, cesarean section, laparoscopic surgery at our medical center from January, 2000 to December, 2004. RESULTS: Incidence of endometriosis was 4.38%. The more frequent occurrence was noted in the young women with low parity and in the nulliparous women. Most frequent symptom comprised dysmenorrhea and lower abdominal pain. 33.7% of patients were asymptomatic. And 82.3% of the patients were in stage III and IV. The frequent sites involved were ovaries, Cul-de sac, uterus, tubes, peritoneum and rectum in order. Frequently combind gynecologic disease were uterine myoma, benign ovarian tumor. In Stage III & IV, there are more patients, who had abnormal elevated serum CA 125 level than patients of stage I & II. CONCLUSION: Early diagnose and appropriate management of Endometriosis for young women can lowered the development of hihger stage case and it is important for fertility and better life quality.

Authors report a case of cystic tuberculosis of left olecranon in a 44 year-old woman, which mimicked the bone tumor at initial presentation. She complained mild discomfort in the left elbow over a month. On examination there were no local redness, swelling, tenderness and deformity. There was no limitation of left elbow motion. After open curettage of the lesion, bone tuberculosis was confirmed by histological study. Postoperative triple chemotherapy of 12 months (Rifamcpicin, ethambutal, INH) could cure the disease.

Peliosis hepatis is characterized by the presence in the liver of blood-filled cavities, which may or may not be lined with sinusoidal cells. The individual cysts or cavities usually do not exceed several centimeters in diameter. The cysts are typically continuous with adjacent, more normal sinusoids, and they sometimes can be seen in continuity with hepatic venous tributaries. The lesion is usually diagnosed by gross or microscopic examination. When suspected, it can be diagnosed by percutaneous liver biopsy. In the past, peliosis hepatis is primarily associated with wasting diseases, such as tuberculosis, malignancy, and chronic suppurative infection. However, recently peliosis hepatis is seen most commonly in association with the administration of anabolic steroids or HIV infection. We report a case of peliosis hepatis that is diagnosed by peritoneoscopic live biopsy and not associated with known disease.
