OBJECTIVE: Bacteroides fragilis, normal colonic inhabitant, is the most frequently isolated anaerobes in infected tissues, particularly in intraabdominal abscesses. In the acute infection model with abscesses, the response to B. fragilis infection is characterized by infiltration of neutrophils and macrophages. This study was designed to determine whether proinflammatory cytokines could be upregulated in peritoneal tissue of B. fragilis-infected mouse model. METHODS: After C57BL/6 mice were infected with abscess-inducing encapsulated B. fragilis, RNA was extracted from the intraperitoneal tissues. Cellular RNA was also extracted from mouse peritoneal macrophages (MPM) and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) after infection with B. fragilis. Expression of various cytokine mRNA was assessed using RT-PCR and standard RNA. Each cytokine protein was also measured by ELISA. RESULTS: B. fragilis-infected intraperitoneal tissues showed upregulated expression of IL-1u, IL-6 and TNFu mRNA. Expression of IL-1u and TNFu mRNA and protein was significantly higher in MPM or PBMC infected with B. fragilis than in those without infection. However, expression of IL-6 mRNA and protein was not increased in MPM or PBMC infected with B. fragilis compared with those without infection. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that the cytokines can be involved in immunopathologic reactions of the peritoneal tissue infected with B. jragilis.

Purpura fuIminans is a rare form of nonthrombocytapenic purpura characterized by sudden onset, fever, prostration, anemia and symmetrical massive ecchymoses, usually of the lower extremities, and hypotension associated with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). A 18 years old female patieat with characteristic clinical manifestations of purpura fulminans was seen at the department of Dermatology, St. Pauls Hospital. With intensive systemic corticasteroid and heparin treatmemts, the ecchymoses and necrosis began to heal, leaving multiple, thick esehar formation from 8th day, Although purpura fulminana has been known to attack mainly children, this case was of adolescent age.

While a giant cell tumor most frequently involves the distal end of the femur and proximal end of the tibia, involvement of the cervical spine is quite rare. Recently we observed a patient with a giant cell tumor affecting the sixth cervical vertebra. This is regarded as a clinically malignant tumor because its nature and difficulty in diagnosis and treatment We easily confirmed the extent of the lesion by CT scanning with Metrizamide. The treatment was palliative tumor ressection. This case of a giant cell tumor affecting the sixth cervical vertebra is reported with a brief review of the literature.

A typical synovial osteochondromstosis within the both knee joints occured in a 29-year-old man. The patient complained of palpable masses in the both knee joints showed multiple round, oval, amorphous calcified loose bodies. Arthrotomy of the left knee joint, removal of loose bodies and total synovectomy were performed. The microscopic findings of loose body revesled a degenerated cartilage cap and showed ares of cacification, ossification and fibroadipose tissue in the central part of the body. The mocroscopic findings of synovium revesled a cartilagenous metaplasis of the fibro vascular tassue and showed no evidence of calcification or ossification. The cartilagenous tissue was relatively matured form.

Hand, foot and mouth disease, a distinctive clinical syndrome caused by a coxsackie virus, is clinically characterized by vesicles appearing on the hands, feet and in the mouth. The infection begins with a fever and mouth lesions consisting of small vesicles surrounded by red areolae on the buccal mucosa, tongue, soft palate and gingiva. The disease usually lasts spontaneously between 7 to 10 days after onset. We observed 20 cases of hand, foot, and mouth disease from July, 12th to September, 4th, 1979 and examined histopathologically and virologically. We have isolated only one viral strain showing cytopathic effect on HeLa cell among the five cases of acute stage and also observed that viral particle in the electronmicroscope.

Therapeutic irradiation may produce a variety of adverse side effects on the central and the peripheral nervous systems. These adverse effects are divided into two main groups; transient and permanent. Four major clinical syndromes have been described in relation to permanent radiation injury of the nervous system: encephalopathy, cranial neuropathy, myelopathy, and peripheral neuropathy. Among them, delayed encephalopathy represents the major hazard in CNS irradiation. The characteristic MR imaging pattern of radiation induced delayed necrotizing leukoencephalopathy is symmetric, high-signal foci on T2WI in the periventricular white matter. We report a case of suspected post-irradiation leukoencephalopathy showed progressive mental change, quadriparesis, and urinary incontinence with characteristic MR findings who had taken therapeutic irradiation 12 months ago.
