A 69-year-old-male patient was admitted because of left upper quadrant (LUQ) abdominal pain He had hard palpable mass (abaut 15x l0cm) in LUQ abdomen and mild elevated serum alkaline phosphatase (349 IU/L) and amylase (216 U/L) levels at the admission time. Abdominal CT scan revealed huge, well-marginated cystic mass in enlarged spleen with increased densities in dependent portion of cystic mass, about 8x13cm in size. Another small well-capsulated. cystic mass in anterior aspect of spleen was also seen. After ERCP, urgent surgical intervention was done. Final diagnosis was chronic pancreatitis with large intrasplenic (l2x9.5 cm) and retroperitoneal pseudocysts. So we are reporting above case with pertinent review of literatures.

Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) is known to be prevalent in full-term babies, and relatively rare in prematures. The diagnosis of IHPS in premature infants may be obscured because of the lack of classical symptoms and signs and the absence of the standard criteria for ultrasonic diagnosis. The purpose of this study is to discover the clinical differences of IHPS between premature and full-term infants with pyloric stenosis, and to determine the appropriate diagnostic methods for early diagnosis in prematures. The clinical records of 52 IHPS patients who had been operated from October, 1994 to April, 1997 were reviewed. IHPS in premature infants was 25%. The onset of symptom was 4.7 weeks of age in premature, and 2.9 weeks in full-term babies. Diagnosis was established by typical symptoms, signs, and diagnostic imaging studies. In two premature infants, diagnosis was confirmed by upper gastrointestinal (GI) series, because ultrasonography did not meet the diagnostic criteria. Two premature infants diagnosed as gastroesophageal reflux by esophagography initially, were confirmed to have IHPS by upper GI series. For the diagnosis of IHPS, a new set of criteria for premature babies has to be developed.

We have experienced a case of pericardial tuberculoma, a very rare disease, with massive pericardial effusion in a 63-year-old veteran. He wdimensional echocardiography. Computed tomographic scans confirmed the presence of a pericardial mass and clinically unsuspected "lung mass". The presence of the lung mass led us a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma. Surgery confirmed the pericardial mass which revealed tuberculosis by patholohy and loculated pleural effusion at the major fissure, so-called "phantom tumor", not a lung mass.

Recently, Cryptococcus pseudolongus has been reported as a new pathogen of shiitake (Lentinula edodes). However, its pathological properties are not much known. To further understand its impact on the mushroom, we investigated the pathogen’s interactions with the mycelium of shiitake, histopathological properties, host range, and sensitivity to diverse antifungal agents. The strain C. pseudolongus DUCC 4014 inhibited the mycelial growth of L. edodes strain (cultivar Sanjo 701ho) and caused browning in the mycelia confronted with the yeast on PDA. Spray inoculation of the yeast caused an abnormal browning symptom on the cap and/or gills of three shiitake cultivars grown on sawdust media in vinyl bags.Scanning electron microscopic images of the abnormally browned parts of shiitake fruit body illustrated that mushroom tissues were loosed and dispersed in the middle and edge of the cap and the arrangement of basidiospores borne on basidia in the gills was disturbed compared to those of normal shiitake fruit body. Spray inoculation also led to developing abnormal browning on the harvested fruit body, indicating C. pseudolongus could be a problem during mushroom storage. But the yeast was not able to induce abnormal browning on mushrooms of Pleurotus ferulae, Pleurotus fostreatus, and Agaricus bisporus. But it induced browning only on button mushroom (A. bisporus) when they were inoculated after wounding. Tests with 16 kinds of fungicides revealed that the cell growth of C. pseudolongus could be inhibited by benzalkonium chloride at MIC 7 lg/ml and benomyl at MIC 3 lg/ml.

Experimental study was conducted to prove the effect of pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) on the production of Nitric oxide (NO) from the cultured rat osteoblast-like cells. Calvarium of thirty Sprgue-Dawley rats was digested by sequential collagenase and cultured in-vitro. The osteoblast cell phenotype was confirmed by expression of osteoclacin by immunohistochemistry. PEMF was generated and applied to cultured osteoblast cells. Production of NO was measured by Greiss reaction. Ten minute exposure of PEMF to ostoeblast cell showed increased NO content at 24 and 48 hours(p<0.05). Cultures with different duration of PEMF exposure (10, 20, 30 60 minutes) demonstrated similar responses. In conclusion. this study proved that NO can be generated with PEMF which support the notion that NO can be a possible mediator of PEMF on bone metabolism.

Almost all colorectal carcinomas have been thought to develop from pre-existing adenomas. However, some colorectal carcinomas can arise directly from normal flat mucosa, and usually form infiltrative mass at the early stage. The carcinogenesis of this infiltrative carcinoma may be different from the well-known adenoma-carcinoma sequence, which usually forms a polypoid mass. The purpose of this study is to investigate the different expression of various oncogenes in polypoid carcinoma and infiltrative carcinoma. We performed immunohistochemical staining on p53, bcl-2, c-erbB-2 and MIB-1 in 29 polypoid carcinomas arised from adenomas, and 21 infiltrative carcinomas. The average tumor size of infiltrative carcinomas (5.5 cm) was larger than that of polypoid carcinomas (3.1 cm), and the polypoid carcinomas were differentiated more than the infiltrative carcinomas. The results of p53, bcl-2, c-erbB-2, and MIB-1 antisera immunoreactivity in the polypoid carcinoma were 79%, 17%, 21%, and 100%, and those in the infiltrative carcinoma were 71%, 29%, 29%, and 100%, respectively. However the diffuse positivities of p53 and MIB-1 antisera were slightly higher in the infiltraive carcinomas (62%, 76%) than in the polypoid carcinomas (55%, 41%) (p=0.63, 0.01). And the results of p53 and c-erbB-2 immunoreactivity in the adenomas were 52% and 17%, respectively, which is significantly lower than that in the polypoid carcinoma(p=0.03, 0.74). The immunoreactivty of bcl-2 in the adenoma was 72%, which was significantly higher than that in the polypoid carcinoma (17%) (p<0.01). In summary, we did not show the significant difference in expression of p53, bcl-2, c-erbB-2, and MIB-1 proteins between polypoid and infiltrative carcinomas. However, the tendency of infiltrative carcinomas having a more aggressive nature suggests another carcinogenetic mechanism is involved in the colorectal carcinogenesis.
