1.Spermatic Cord Sarcoma: Two cases report.
Korean Journal of Pathology 1998;32(7):546-548
Present study describes two rare spermatic cord sarcomas. The first case is leiomyosarcoma of a 56-year-old man with 3-years' history of slowly growing hard mass in the right inguinal area, measuring 8x6x5 cm. The second case is fibrosarcoma of a 39-year-old man with 3x2 cm painless right inguinal mass. Both cases underwent radical excision of mass and orchiectomy. Clinico-pathologic characteristics of spermatic cord sarcoma are discussed with literature review.

Journal of Korean Physical Therapy 2021;33(3):131-135
Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the mental health of physical therapy students in clinical practice during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods:
A cross-sectional survey was conducted during the pandemic and was completed by 100 physical therapy students in two universities in Gwangju and Jeollanam-do, South Korea. The Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) scale and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) were used to evaluate their anxiety and depression status. A Chi-square test was conducted to evaluate the association of participant characteristics with the risk of having anxiety and depression. Logistic regression models were used to identify the general characteristic factors related to anxiety or depression.
Results:
Anxiety was found in 28 (28%) of the participants, and depression in 24 (24%). The risk of anxiety and depression in male physical therapy students was 0.189 and 0.211 times lower, respectively, than those female students (p<0.05). The risk of anxiety and depression in physical therapy students with a history of disease was 11.721 and 7.056 times higher, respectively, than those with a history of disease (p<0.05). The risk of anxiety in physical therapy students in clinical practice was 11.721 times higher than that in students who were not in clinical practice (p<0.05).
Conclusion
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a high risk of anxiety and depression among many physical therapy students. More attention and improvements are needed so that physical therapy students can study in a safe environment.

The epidermoid cyst of the testis is a rare benign lesion with a characteristic gross and microscopic appearances. This 25 year old male who had been previously diagnosed as Klinefelter's snydrome (47/XXY) had right orchiectomy due to hard testicular nodule for a presented malignant testicular tumor. Sectioning of the testis revealed a intraparenchy matous cystic lesion, 1.5 cm in diameter, filled with cheesy white material. Histologically, stratified squamous epithelium lined the cyst. The remaining testis showed advanced tubular sclerosis and Leydig cell hyperplasia. It is necessary to submit multiple sections to rule out other histologic elements in the cyst wall or the presence of a scar. Although epidermoid cyst occurring as a solitary testicullar nodule could be regarded as a stage in the development of a teratoma, they need to be distinguished from the complex differentiated teratomas because of a distinct difference in prognosis.

From Jan. of 1990 to Dec. of 1992, we have experienced three cases of multiple primary malignant neoplasms originated from different histogenesis, in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery of Korea Cancer Center Hospital. Liposarcomas, malignant fibrous histiocytoma were combined with renal cell carcinoma, mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of ovary or prostatic cancer. With Moertel's classification, synchronous tumors were found in 2 cases and metachronous in 1 case. Synchronous tumors were 2 liposarcomas-renal cell carcinoma or mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of ovary. Metachronous tumors were malignant fibrous histiocytoma-prostate cancer. We couldn t find any family history among them. The causes of these multiple malignancies were considered as the individual predilrection to tumors.

TGF-beta1 is a potent chemotactic factor for inflammatory cells and fibroblasts. It also stimulates the celluar source and components of extracellular matrix and the production of proteinase inhibitors. Collectively, these biologic activities lead to the accumulation and stabilization of the nascent matrix, which is vital to wound healing. The objective of this study is to investigate production of TGF-beta1 in vitro fibroblast culture in the presence of Staphylococcus enterotoxin B(SEB) and/or lipopolysaccharide(LPS) and to elucidate the role of TGF-beta1 which may be responsible for wound healing The fibroblasts were originated from facial dermis and hypertrophic scar in 26 year-old male patient. In the presence of LPS(0.0l microgram, 0.1 microgram, 1.0 microgram), SEB(0.0l microgram, 0.1 microgram, 1.0 microgram) respectively, cells(5x103ml) were cultivated in vitro. At 1, 3, and 5 days after incubation, cells were counted. Also, cells(2.5x105ml) were cultivated in EMEM with LPS(0.01, 0.1 and 1.0 microgram), SEB(0.01, 0.1 and 1.0 microgram) respectively and LPS(0.1 microgram) and SEB(0.1 microgram) in combination for 24, 48, and 72 hours respectively. Culture supernatants were harvested at 1, 2, and 3 days after incubation period and triplicate culture supernatants were pooled and TGF-beta1 was assayed in duplicate. The results were as follows. 1. In facial dermal fibroblast induced with SEB and LPS respectively or in combination, the suppression of cell proliferation occurred very significantly at 1 day after incubation, compared with the control. In SEB exposure, the production of TGF-beta1 was decreased very significantly at 1 day after incubation, compared with the control. However, in LPS, SEB and LPS exposure, the production of TGF-beta1 was increased very significantly at 1 day after incubation, compared with the control. 2. In hypertrophic scar fibroblast induced with SEB and LPS respectively or in combination, the suppression of cell proliferation did not occur at 1 day after incubation, compared with the control. In SEB and LPS exposure in combination, the production of TGF-beta1 was increased very significantly at 1 day after incubation, compared with the control. However, the production of TGF-beta1 did not occur in SEB and LPS exposure respectively. In conclusion, the concentration of bacterial toxins and the incubation period correlated with cell proliferation and production of TGF-beta1 very significantly and both fibroblasts have different phenotype each other in this regard. This data suggest that the significant production of TGF-beta1 may develope abnormal wound healing associated with tissue fibroproliferative disorder, such as hypertrophic scar and keloid formation.

In patients disabled by severe rheumatoid and degenerative arthritis of both knees, bilateral total knee arthroplasty(TKA) afforded much functional improvement in pain relief and function. Postoperative results of bilateral TKA was described as being similiar to those observed among patients with single joint replacement. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the etiology and postoperative result of bilateral TKA performed on 32 knees in 16 patients at Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital from Mar. 1985 to Oct. 1988. In our series, there were 15 females and only 1 male, their mean age was 53 years. Duration of follow up was ranged from 1 to 4 years and 5 months being average 1 year and 6 months. The results were as follow. 1. Cheif complaints were pain in 18 cases(100%) and difficulty in walking in 15 cases(82%). 2. Preoperative etiology was rheumatoid arthritis in 11 cases and degenerative arthritis in 7 cases. 3. Knee joint function by HSS(Hospital for Special Surgery) knee rating score was increased from 44.6 points preoperatively to 81.2 points postoperatively. 4. The tibiofemoral angle was changed from 1.4 degree varus to 4 degree valgus. 5. The prothesis type used were PFG(Press Fit Condylar) in 22 knees, Miller-Galante in 8 knees, AMK in 3 knees, PCA in 2 knees and unicompartmental type in 1 knee. 6. Complication were 1 case of knee fusion due to concomittant tuberculous arthritis and mild joint effusion in 6 knees. 7. Bilateral one-stage arthroplasty may be considered as an alternative procedure.
