A case of congenital mutilocular intrapulmonary bronchogenic cyst which was undifferentiated radiographicallyfrom congenital lobar emphysema, large pneumatocele, or tension pneumothoarax is reported. The cyst occupied about4/5 of left lung fields and displaced the mediastinal structures to right moderately and compressed the remainingleft lungs severely.

It is well-known that the infection of bone and joints could produce the shortening by destroying the articuiar cartilage and growth plate, or the lengthening hy increased hlood circulation to the epiphyseal and metaphyseal regions of long bone. Since 1985, we have treated total l7 cases of children s pyogenic or tuberculous children s knee with early arthrotomy and continuous irrigation etc. and followed their long hone growth for average 53 months after surgical intervention. Five patients (group I ) were early treated within 2 weeks and twelve patients(group 3 ) were delayed to treat their knees for more than 2 weeks of symptom development. Total 11 patients out of 17 cases(64.7%) (2 cases of group 1 pyogenic arthritis, and 1 case of group l and 8 cases of group II tuberculous arthritis) revealed growth acceleration. Femoral lengthening was much more greater than that of tibial growth, and the size of patella, distal femoral and proximal tibial epiphysis which were measured by computerized digitizer were also significantly larger than that of opposite knee. The total limb length was increased hy average 7mm in 6 months, l4mm in 1 year and 3mm in 2 years after operation. These results suggest the pyogenic and tuberculous arthritis in children s knee should he treated as early as possible after symptoms developed, and followed them to trace their limh inequality for at least 2 years after surgery. That means the early arthrotomy for tuberculous knee or even in pyogenic arthritis can preserve normal articular cartilage and can also prevent the early epiphyseal closure hy infection. and can get the limh lengthening by increased blood circulation around the knee joint.

Pancoast syndrome (PS) is characterized by a malignant neoplasm of the superior sulcus of the lung with destructive lesions of the thoracic inlet and involvement of the brachial plexus and cervical sympathetic nerves. The most common initial symptom of PS is shoulder pain; however, cough, dyspnea, and hemoptysis, signs often associated with lung cancer, are not as common. Investigation of PS can be difficult even with plain radiographs of the chest because it is surrounded by osseous structures such as the ribs, vertebral bodies, and manubrium. Due to these characteristics, orthopedic surgeons tend to make a misdiagnosis resulting in delay of appropriate treatment. Here we report on a patient who was supposed to undergo rotator cuff repair for his shoulder pain and weakness, and was eventually diagnosed with PS.

Microsatellites are short nucleotide repeat sequences present throughout the human genome. Alterations of microsatellites, comprising extra or missing copies of these se quences, have been termed microsatellite instability(MSI, genetic instability, replication errors, RER(+) phenotype). To date, at least four genes involved in DNA mismatch repair, hMSH2, hMLH1, hPMS1 and hPMS2, are thought to account for the observation of microsatellite instability in tumor from Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) patients. The genetic defect responsible for the MIN+ phenotype in sporadic colorectal cancer, however, has yet to be clearly delineated. The purpose of this study was to determine the presence of MSI in sporadic cancer and to correlate its occurrence with clinicopathological parameters, we have studied six microsatellite loci by use of polymerase chain reaction amplification and denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. We found that 20%(9 of 46 cases) sporadic colorectal cancers showed RER at two or several loci(RER+). Microsatellite instability was associated with location of the tumor in the proximal colon 66%(6 of 9 cases) and with poorly differentiated tumor phenotype 56%(5 of 9 cases). In order to better understand the role of somatic alterations within hMSH2 in the process of colorectal tumorigenesis, we examined the most conserved regions(codon 598~789) of this gene in nine patients with MIN spotadic colorectal cancer. 6 patient of RER(+) colorectal ca. patients had a polymorphism which was a T to C base change in the intron sequence at -6 position of the splice acceptor site at the 5'end of exon 13. This particular sequence variation is a polymorphism rather than a mutation which increase cancer susceptability. These data suggest that the genetic instability is detect ed in some colorectal cancers and play an important role in the pathogenesis of sporadic colorectal cancer.

BACKGROUND: Neonatal hypocalcemia is not an infrequent condition, especially in the premature neonate. It is effectively treated by intravenous administration of calcium gluconate. Complications of extravasation during intraveous infusion included calcification and, occasionally necrosis. But the exact mechanism of calcinosis cutis following extravasation of calcium gluconate remains unknown and there is no specific mode of treatment except cold packs and skin graft. OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to evaluate the clinical and histological features in rabbits after subcutaneous injection of 10% calcium gluconate and a mixed solution of gluconate and triamcinolone acetonide. METHODS: Two rabbits were divided into 3 groups and were subcutaneously injected with the following materials on the back; 10% calcium gluconate, a mixed solution of calcium gluconate and triamcinolone acetonide, and 25% normal saline as controls respectively. The injection site including the skin and subcutaneous fat was excised and fixed with natural buffered formalin. The biopsied specimens were stained with Hematolxylin and Eosin. RESULTS: 1) In the 10% calcium gluconate injected group, there was some erthema and induration after three days. By the fifth to the seventh days there was more erythema and firm induration. At 15 days, nodules and large ulcreated lesions developed. Multiple, linear shaped, ulcreative surfaced and indurated masses were noted at 37days.l from 45days to 2months there was progressive healing with decrease in ulceration, and gradual disapppearance of the mass. Histologically, at the 8th day calcium was seen in the walls of the arteries and veins, after 15days, the reaction was at its peak and epidermal necrosis was seen on the injected site. From 30 to 3days, calcium deposition and granuloma formation were seen in the dermis. In addition discharge of calcium deposits began to place by means of transepidermal elimination. After 45days, although the response was subsiding, the calcium and mucin deposition was observed focally in the dermis. 2. In the 10% calcium gluconate and triamcinolone acetonide adjuvant injected group, there was development of some erythema at 8days. After 15days, some erythema and induration were seen of the injected site ad this gradually disappeared. By 37days, the injection site was normal in appearance. Histologically, at 15days calcium deposition was seen on the upper dermis and the injection site was histologically normal after one month. 3. In 25% normal saline injected group, the injection site was clinically normal. Histologically there was no reaction except for focal perivascular eosinophilia after 24horus. CONCLUSION: We conclude that the important mechanism of calcinosis cutis appears to be elevated concentration as well as the tissue damage at the site of the extravasation of calcium gluconate. The final common pathway of calcification is the formation of crystalline and insoluble calcium phosphate mineral, in the form of hydroxyapatite. The intralesional injection of triamcinolone for the treatment of calcinosis cutis in our study was effective due to its antiinflammatory effect and the reabsorption of calcium in the tissues.
