1.Pituitary Stalk Transection Syndrome
Journal of Korean Society of Endocrinology 1996;11(3):324-329
We experienced one case of severe pituitary dwarfism in a 16 years old male boy that magnetic resonance image(MRI) revealed transection of the pituitary stalk with the ectopic location of posterior pituitary gland and hypoplastic anterior pituitary gland. The serum growth horrnone(GH) response to clonidine and L-dopa revealed severe GH deficiency. The patient revealed normal response in TSH, prolactin and LH, FSH to TRH and LHRH respectively. So far, the primary cause of idiopathic pituitary dwarfism in many patients was due to hypoxic injury to hypothalmus by perinatal insults. In this patients, there was no history of perinatal insults and postnatal head trauma. We report a case of severe dwarfism due to hypogenesis of anterior pituitary gland.

Glutathione S-transferase (28GST) with molecular mass of 28 kDa is an antioxidant enzyme abundant in Clonorchis sinensis. In adult C. sinensis, 28GST was localized in tegumental syncytium, cytons, parenchyma, and sperm tails examined by immunoelectron microscopy. C. sinensis 28GST was earlier found to neutralize bioreactive compounds and to be rich in eggs. Accordingly, it is suggested that 28GST plays important roles in phase II defense system and physiological roles in worm fecundity of C. sinensis.

There have been so many methods described for the correction of the deviated noses but it is difficult to get satisfactory results and recurrence rate is high. There is no exact explanation why the recurrences are so high and no estabished guides for techniques according to the surgical pathology. We found the classical swinging door technique effective in cases where the caudal septum deviated from the midline. However, where the caudal septum and the tip stay in the midline, scoring or submucosal resection do not work well enough to cortet them. We used the reverse swinging door technique of our own. After elevation of mucoperichonodrium, we did sagittal section in the posterior septum and moved the septum to the midline on the pivot point of the caudal septum and. The gap created in the posterior portion of the septum were filed with bone grafts, cartilage grafts or Medopor, which were sutured to the septum, We did this technique with or without osteotmies in 56 deviated noses for last 5 years. The results were very satisfactory and there was no complication.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the mRNA expression of several cytokines which were not reported previously from interface tissues around loose cemented acetabulum to obtain better understanding of the biological mechanisms connected with aseptic loosening and osteolysis of THA. We investigated mRNA expression for several cytokines (interleukin-1 alpha [IL-l~a], IL-lp, IL-2, IL-2 receptor[2R], IL-4, IL-5, IL-8, IL-10, transforming growth factor-beta [TGF-p], and interferon- gamma [IFN-y]) by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and release of metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 from the cement-bone interface tissues around five loose polyethylene acetabular components. We did not include TNF-a and IL-6 because the biologic effect of the former is so similar to that of IL-1, and the latter fails to stimulate prostaglandin E, or collagenase production by fibroblsts or synovial cells. Expression of mRNA for IL-1p was detected in four, IL-2R and IL-8 in three, IL-10 and TGF-p in two of five interface tissues .No expression of mRNA for IL-la, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, and IFN-p was detected. Zymographic analysis for gelatinase/type IV collagenase revealed gelatinolytic bands corresponding to metalloproteinase(MMP)-2 and MMP-9 in cemenl-bone interface tissues. Activated cells phagocytose particles in cement-bone interface tissues expressed more cytokines mRNA than previously known to be related to periprosthetic bone resorption, and secreted metalloproteinases associated with extracellular matrix degradation and fibrosis.
