Acute sensorimotor polyneuropathy that resembles Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is rarely accompanied with nephrotic syndrome, and its underlying immunological mechanisms are unclear. A 56-year-old man presented with simultaneous acute progressive symmetric sensorimotor polyneuropathy and proteinuria. A kidney biopsy revealed focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. Serial electrophysiologic studies showed only a transient proximal conduction block in the median nerve, stimulated somatosensory evoked potential and prolonged terminal latencies of the median and peroneal nerves. The patient's neurologic deficits and kidney dysfunction recovered with corticosteroid treatment. Our case showed that somatosensory evoked potential study can be an important objective tool in the diagnosis of acute polyneuropathy with normal distal nerve conduction and that corticosteroids should be considered in the initial treatment of GBS-resembling polyneuropathy associated with nephrotic syndrome.

PURPOSE: We designed this study to identify and suggest the reasonable timing of adjuvant radiotherapy in the treatment of uterine carcinosarcoma according to the surgical intent and patterns of progression. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed a total of 50 carcinosarcoma patients diagnosed between 1995 and 2010. Among these 50 patients, 32 underwent curative surgery and 13 underwent maximal tumor debulking surgery. The remaining five patients underwent biopsy only. Twenty-six patients received chemotherapy, and 15 patients received adjuvant radiotherapy. RESULTS: The median follow-up period was 17.3 months. Curative resection (p < 0.001) and stage (p < 0.001) were statistically significant factors affecting survival. During follow-up, 30 patients showed progression. Among these, eight patients (16.0%) had loco-regional progression only. The patients who had received adjuvant radiotherapy did not show loco-regional progression, and radiotherapy was a significant negative risk factor for loco-regional progression (p = 0.01). The time to loco-regional progression was much earlier for non-curative than curative resection (range, 0.7 to 7.6 months vs. 7.5 to 39.0 months). CONCLUSION: Adjuvant radiotherapy in the treatment of carcinosarcoma might be related to a low loco-regional progression rate. Radiotherapy should be considered in non-curatively resected patients as soon as possible.

Pseudocyst of the auricle presents as a non-inflammatory, fluctuant swelling on the upper half or third section of the ear, due to intracartilaginous accumulation of fluid. Histological examination shows an intracartilaginous cavity without an epithelial lining. The etilogy and pathogenesis of this disorder remains unknown, but the lesion is likely to be due to localized de-generation of cartilage. The degenerated cartilage is replaced by a vascular fibrous tissue from which there is serious exudation, and a clinical cystic swelling is formed. We describe in this report three cases of pseudocyst of the auricle, of which one was treated successfully by surgical excision and a pressure dressing, and the others by aspiration and steroid injection therapy. In all cases, the skin lesions had not recurred, and the patients were left with an excellent cosmetic result.

The purpose of this study was to compare the marginal fit of provisional restorations by differentiating the removal time and setting temperature during resin polymerization. After mixing autopolymerizing methyl metharcrylate resin, the material was placed in a preformed resin shell crown. The crown was seated on a die with 1mm shoulder margin. Crowns were removed after 3,4,5,6 minutes and polymerization was continued under the following conditions : 25degrees C air,30degrees C, 40degrees C, 50degrees C,60degrees C,70degrees C water. After polymerization, the crown was sectioned. The marginal & occlusal discrepancies were measured. The mean marginal discrelpancies at 3 minutes, 4 minutes, 5 minutes and 6 minutes of removing time were 96.6micrometer,84.6micrometer, 86.7micrometer and 105.6micrometer.The mean occlusal discrepancies at 3 minutes, 4 minutes, 5 minutes and 6 minutes of removing time were 106.7micrometer, 89.3micrometer, 98.6micrometer and 127.7micrometer.There was significant difference between 4 minutes group and 6 minutes group in occlusal discrepancies. The mean marginal & occlusal discrepancies for crowns polymerized in 25degrees C air were 98.2micrometer and 124.1micrometer. The crowns polymerized in 50degrees C water demonstrated the smallest marginal & occlusal discrepancies. The mean value of marginal & occlusal discrepancies in 50degrees C water were 73.1micrometer and 77.5micrometer. These values were smaller than that of 25degrees C air.There were significant differences in the occlusal discrepancies between 25degrees C air and water conditions of 50degrees C water (alpha=0.05) but, no significant differences in marginal discrepancies. There was no significant difference in the interaction between time and temperature. 4 minutes waiting time & 50degrees C water polymerizing condition produces the best fit at the margin of the provisional crown.

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a fatal disease that is characterized by progressive demyelination of the cerebral white matter due to JC viral infection. We report serial magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and tractography changes in a patient with PML. After a three-cycle treatment with cidofovir and cytarabine, the patient exhibited remarkable improvements in motor and cognitive functions. Follow-up MRS and tractography revealed regeneration of the white-matter fibers. This is the first consecutive neuroimaging study showing improvements in neurological symptoms using MRS and tractography.

BACKGROUND: The evaluation of behavioral and psychological symptoms (BPS) in ALS is important because its existence may serve as a prognostic factor and suggest a shared pathology with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) in ALS. In this study, we sought to identify the prevalence of the BPS of ALS patients and evaluate its relationship with the clinical profiles and survival of ALS patients. METHODS: One hundred sixty-six patients were enrolled in a cross-sectional cohort analysis from September 2008 to February 2012. All patients had sporadic ALS without a genetic mutation and were collected clinical profiles. The t-test and chi-square test were used to assess differences in the clinical characteristics and caregiver-administered neuropsychiatric inventory (CGA-NPI) scores. The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazard model were used for the survival analysis. RESULTS: Forty-two patients had clinically significant BPS (42/166, 25.3%). ALS patients with BPS had worse clinical dementia rating (CDR), ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R) score, and progression rate of disease than those without BPS. Among CGA-NPI subscales, depression, irritability, apathy, and agitation were higher prevalent than the others. There was a trend for ALS patients with BPS having short survival time than those without BPS in the Kaplan-Meier analysis (p=0.006). However, in the Cox proportional hazard model, BPS in ALS patients were not associated with poor survival. CONCLUSION: These results support the presence of an overlapping spectrum between ALS and FTD and emphasize the importance of neuropsychiatric evaluations in ALS. Although the association between BPS and prognosis are not explained clearly, these results could be used to stratify ALS patients according to neuropsychiatric symptoms and help investigators to evaluate the BPS in ALS patients.
