Amyopathic dermatomyositis is defined by characteristic cutaneous manifestation of dermatomyositis without evidence of muscle involvement. There is no clinical difference between dermatomyositis and amyopathic dermatomyositis. Pulmonary involvement of dermatomyositis is so frequent than aggressive dianostic and therapeutic approach is needed. Early steroid or immunosuppresive treatment in pulmonary involvement of dermatomyositis gets better prognosis. Intravenous immunoglobulin treatment is an effective and safe alternative when the steroid or immunosuppresive treatment is ineffective or intolerable. We are reporting a case of amyopathic dermatomyositis with interstitial lung disease. This patient was improved with intravenous immunoglobulin treatment.

A 34-yr-old female was diagnosed as being brain dead. Preoperative ultrasound revealed no abnormal focal lesions. However, the horseshoe kidney was identified during organ harvest. En bloc nephrectomy was performed. The kidney was divided at the midline of isthmus. The divided right kidney was discarded due to numerous arteries and veins. The divided left kidney was transplanted. After declamping, the kidney was well perfused and started clearing. Resistive index was 0.72. Glomerular filtration ratio was 84.69 mL/min on postoperative day 14. The horseshoe kidney can be successfully transplanted and could be a good solution for the shortage of organ donors.

BACKGROUND: Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by a severe reduction in the number of circulating platelets. Corticosteroid therapy, which has been used in ITP for many years, has produced a complete or partial response rate of 65% to 75%, although sustained remissions have been reported in only 18% to 32% of the patients. The purpose of the present study is to define response to each treatment and ultimate outcome of adults with ITP. METHOD: A clinical study was done on 35 cases of ITP who had admitted to the department of Internal Medicine, Yeungnam University Hospital from June 1983 to July 1996. The response of each treatment modalities was based on criteria of Defino and Cooperative Latin American Group on Hemostasis and Thrombosis. RESULTS: The mean age of patients was 41.9 years old and female to male ratio was 1:0.6 (female:22 cases, male:13 cases). The complete response rate to intravenous gamma-globulin as early therapy was obtained in 72% of the patients and the duration to platelet count above 50,000/ microliter was 3 days after intravenous gamma-globulin therapy. Duration of response was 15 days. The CCR (continuing complete response) to corticosteroid was obtained in 16% of the patients, and no CCR to reinduction with corticosteroid was observed. The CR to splenectomy was obtained in 85% of the patients. The overall results of all therapeutic modalities were CCR 43%, TCR (temporary complete response) 20%, PR (partial response) 31%, and NR (no response) 6%. CONCLUSION: This analysis of ITP in adults suggests that splenectomy remains as the most effective treatment and intravenous gamma-globulin is effective for rapid elevation of platelet count.

10.Acquired myasthenia gravis in a domestic shorthair cat with cranial mediastinal mass.

A 7-year-old castrated male domestic short-hair cat presented with anorexia, constipation, depression, and voice alteration. Physical and neurological examinations revealed hyperthermia (40.5℃), ventroflexion of the neck, reduced responses to external stimuli, generalized muscle weakness, and exercise intolerance. Thoracic radiographs revealed the presence of a cranial mediastinal mass. The history, clinical signs, and other examination results were compatible with acquired myasthenia gravis (MG). Acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibody titers were determined to confirm MG and the serum AChR antibody concentration was 1.24 nmol/L (reference interval, < 0.3 nmol/L). This is the first diagnosis of acquired MG in a cat in Korea.
