Congenital pseudarthrosis is frequently associated with various stigmata of neurofibromatosis, particularly Cafe-Au-Lait spots and,subcutaneous nodules and in these patients, it is noteworthy that the treatment is very difficult even with extensive operative approach. Also it is interesting to find many controversies on etiological relation between neurofibroma and pseudarthrosis, per se and even the existance of nerve element in and around the tissue of pseudarthrosis. A thirteen years old female patient with definite neurofibromatosis associated with congenital tibial pseudarthrosis treated by intramedullary nailing and massive bone graft is reported.

A putative polypeptide hormone identified as amylin[islet amyloid polypeptide] is synthesized and co-localized with insulin in B cells of pancreatic islets in several animal species including man. However, there is growing evidence that somatostatin cells are also expressed and contained amylin in the pancreatic islets of the rat The aim of the present study was to investigate the immunocytochemical expression of the amylin within the endocrine pancreas of the man, rabbit and guinea pig, with special reference to the possible ability of islet cells other than insulin cells to synthesize amylin. For this purpose serial sections of the pancreatic islets were stainedimmunocytochemically using anti-amylin, anti-insulin, anti-glucagon, anti-somatostatin antisera. In serial sections of pancreatic islets of the man and rabbit, it was shown that amylin immunoreactivity occurred in insulin-reactive B cells predominantly located in interior of the islets. In contrast, amylin immunoreacivity appeared in glucagon-reactive A cells peripherally located in the islets of the guinea pig. These results suggest that in both the man and rabbit, amylin is synthesized by B cells for subsequent co-secretion with insulin, and that in guinea pig, amylin is synthesized by A cells for co-secretion with glucagon. It thus appears that amylin release may be mediated by different secretory mechanisms according to animal species.

Malformations of umbilicus are a feature of many dysmorphic syndromes and the measurement of periumbilical skin length should be considered as the basic step in the description of the umbilical malformations. So, we measured the periumbilical skin length in the 103 normal neonates and obtained the following results. 1) The means (+SD) of the periumbilical skin length were the 11.7mm (+3.0) in the cranial site and the 8.2mm (+2.5) in the caudal site, and the cranial length was 3.5mm longer than the caudal length. 2) No difference was observed between the male and female groups in the periumbilical skin length. 3) Age was the only statistically significant variable associated with the periumbilical skin length and it was observed that the periumbilical skin length decreased according to the advance of age (hour).

Behcets disease is a chronic systemic disease of unknown etiology, which is characterized by the recurrent orogenital ulcers, eye involvement and skin manifestations. In addition to the major symptoms, it includes arthritis, vasculitis, neurologic manifestations and gastrointestinal lesions. We report a case of Behcets disease associated with intestinal ulcers. The patient, a 45-year-old female, who had been treated under the diagnosis of Behcets disease for 4 years, presented with swallowing difficulty, vaginal discharge and persistent right lower abdominal pain. Colonoscopic examination showed multiple ulcers on the ileocecal region which is reported as the most common site of gastrointestinal Behcets disease. Gastrointestinal evaluation can be useful in diagnosis of Behcets disease, especially in a patient with gastrointestinal symptoms.

OBJECTIVES: This study was aimed to investigate the differences in intelligence and neuropsychological test findings between patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and normal controls, and to find out brain functions. METHODS: To examine the brain functions, Halsted Reitan neuropsychological test, computerized neuropsychological test, Wechsler Memory scale and K-WAIS were applied. Subjects of this study consisted of 12 patients with OCD and 17 normal controls who were matched for age, handedness and education year. RESULTS: The verbal intelligence of OCD was significantly higher than that of normal controls. But there was no significant difference in total and performance intelligence between groups. The total time of tactual performance test in OCD was significantly delayed than that in normal controls. Also the visual recall or Wechsler memory scale in OCD was more impaired than that in normal controls. CONCLUSION: These findings support that visual-spatial memory, which is related to basal ganglia, is impaired in OCD.
