A 74-year-old man presented with recurrent vomiting and aspiration pneumonia in the left lower lobe. He entered the intensive care unit to manage the pneumonia and septic shock. Although a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube was implanted for recurrent vomiting, vomiting and aspiration recurred frequently during admission. Subsequently, he complained of neck pain when in an upright position. A videofluoroscopic swallowing study showed compression of the esophagus by cervical osteophytes and tracheal aspiration caused by an abnormality at the laryngeal inlet. Cervical spine X-rays and computed tomography showed anterior cervical osteophytes at the C3-6 levels. Surgical decompression was scheduled, but was cancelled due to his frailty. Unfortunately, further recurrent vomiting and aspiration resulted in respiratory arrest leading to hypoxic brain damage and death. Physicians should consider cervical spine disease, such as diffuse skeletal hyperostosis as an uncommon cause of recurrent aspiration pneumonia.

BACKGROUND: Apoptosis is a highly selective form of cell suicide with characteristic morphologieal and biochemical features, including chromatin condensation, formation of apoptotic bodies, and DNA fragmentation by the activation of endonucleases. Various cytokines and physical or chemical factors can provoke apoptotic changes in the skin. OBJECTIVE: We investigated the cytotoxic effects with epidermal cytokines and their combinations, K+ ionophores, protein synthesis inhibitor(emetine), inhibitor of endogenous endonuclease(aurintricarboxylic acid, ATA), sodium azide, and retinoic acid witp human epithelial tumor cell lines(A431 cells) to examine the degree of induction of apoptosis in the epidermal keratinocytes. METHODS: Induction of apoptosis was measured in cultured human keratinocytes, keratinocyte cell lines(A-431, HaCat, KB cells), cultured human melanocytes and malignant melanoma cell lines(SK-28, SK-30) using a mixture of ethidium bromide and acridine orange, DNA agarose gel electrophoresis and TUNEL staining. RESULTS: l. In the A-431 cells, (1 to a certain degree, the combination of IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha could only induce apoptosis. Q2 most of K+ ionophores were observed to induce necrosis rather than apoptosis. Q3 emetine, a protein synthesis blocker, was found to induce apoptosis in a dose-dependent pattern. Q4 sodium azide at a concentration of 1% .induced apoptosis rather than necrosis. Q5 retinoic acid inhibit the beuvericin induced apoptosis. 2. In human keratinocytes, Ql more resistant in the induction of apoptosis than any cultured keratinocyte cell lines p aurintricarboxylic acid(ATA)-an endonuclease inhibitor, could inhibit UV induced apoptosis 3. In human keratinocytes and cultured keratinocyte cell lines, c-PAF inhibit the beauvericin induced apoptosis. 4. Human melanocytes is very resistant for the induction of apoptosis by beauvericin. 5. In the melanocytes and melanoma cell lines, sodium azide and beauvericin induced necrosis rather than apoptosis. CONCLUSIONS: The epidermis is continuously exposed to toxic factors which might induce cell death. With the above results, the induction of appeared to be rather resistant, epidermal cell apoptosis which may reflect the existence of some endogenous protective mechanisms in the epidermis to survive at certain toxic environments; melanocytes showed high expression of bcl-2 protein which could play a role in endogenous defense against toxic environments of the epidermis.

To Evaluate the clinical characteristics of childhood-onset systemic lupus erythemoatosus (SLE) and analyse the factors related to outcome of renal function in lupus nephritis, we reviewed medical records of 18 cases of SLF diagnosed at the Department of Pediatrics. Pusan National University Hospital from January 1981 to December 1990. The results were as follow: 1)Male to female ratio was 1:2.6. 2) Nephropathy was the most common initial impression, and 8 cases were diagnosed as SLE at first. 3) The clinical menifestation. was ANA (+), malar rash, renal disorder, hematologic disorder in frequency. 4) Diffuse proliferative lupus nephritis was the most common in renal histopathologic studies. 5) Among the follow-up cases, active lupus was 39%, remission was 28%. 6) As factors related to outcome of lupus nephrits were, hypertension and proteinuria were siginificant statistically.

A female newborn had the following characteristics; a congenital localized absence of skin over the lower extremities; blistering of the skin or mucous membrane, incited by trauma, which heals without scarring; and congenital absence or deformity of the nails. In respect to the characteristic manifestation, clinical course and electron microscopic features, our patient seems to fit well into Bart's syndrome. The inheritance pattern appears to be autosomal dominant but, as in this report, isolated cases have been recognized. As the review of the literatures, congenital localized absence of skin has been observed in various subsets of inherited E.B. But, we believe that the term Bart's syndrome should be used to identify patients with good prognosis as the Bart's initial description To the best of our knowedge, this is the first reported case of Bart's syndrome in the korean literature.

Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita(CMTC) is a rare congenital cutaneous vascular anomaly. The major skin findings are persistent, fixed cutis marmorata, telangiectasia, and phlebectasia. In approximately 50 % of patients, the disorder tends to be associated with various con-genital anomalies. We describe in this report a 4-month-old male infant with CMTC. The patient had red or violet marbled patches, telangiectases, and atrophy on the right arm present at birth. During the follow up period of 12 months, there was no change in the cutis marmorata pattern and telangiectases, whereas the atrophy has been less prominent than at the initial visit.

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of lung are rare carcinoma arising from the submucosal glands tissue of the proximal tracheobronchial tree. The carcinoma can be divided into low grade and high grade varienties. The most important factors in the prognosis include histological grading and the ability to achieve a complete surgical resection. We experienced a case of high grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma in pulmonary tuberculosis patient of 67 years old male who has been suffered from left chest pain for several weeks. He was not treated and died seventeen months later.
