    Notes: Abstract. Objective and Design: To investigate whether mast cells (MCs) and chymase, the major protease of murine MCs, were involved in a chronic fibroproliferative disorder of the paws associated with type II collagen (CII)-induced arthritis.¶Materials: Eighteen DBA/1J mice were divided into 3 groups and were used to study fibroproliferative changes in paws elicited by immunization.¶Treatment: Arthritis was induced by immunization with CII, which was intradermally injected as an emulsion made with adjuvant. A booster shot was done 3 weeks after the initial shot. A group with no treatment and that received adjuvant alone served as control.¶Methods: Twelve weeks after the booster shot, inflammation of the paws was evaluated for pathological and biochemical indices. Chymase activity was determined with a chromogenic peptide substrate.¶Results: In CII-immunized group, collagen bundles accumulated around the destructed joints. In accordance with the pathological findings, MC density in the affected paws was increased (154.8 ± 13.3/mm2; p 〈 0.05 vs. control) and chymase activity was also increased (29.5 ± 2.8 mU/mg protein; p 〈 0.01 vs. control).¶Conclusions: The present results demonstrate increases in MCs and chymase in fibroproliferative paws of collagen-induced arthritic mice.

    Notes: Abstract. Schwannoma is a benign neurogenic tumor arising from the sheath of peripheral nerves. It occurs very rarely in the mesentery, where it is difficult to diagnose. Herein we describe a case in which contrast-enhanced CT and gadolinium-DTPA-enhanced MR showed a locally enhanced well-defined tumor with a cystic component just anterior to the duodenum. These findings corresponded well to the resected specimen.

    Notes: Abstract. The imaging features of primary ovarian leiomyoma have seldom been described because of the very low prevalence of the tumor. Herein we present a case report on its magnetic resonance imaging features. Both T1- and T2-weighted images revealed a low-signal-intensity mass, which was well circumscribed and sharply demarcated from the uterus. Magnetic resonance imaging was useful in distinguishing it from a malignant ovarian tumor and uterine leiomyoma.

    Notes: Abstract. A rare case of traumatic injury of the distal descending aorta associated with thoracic spine injury is reported. A 21-year-old man was admitted after a traffic accident. Thoracic CT and angiography demonstrated a false aneurysm of the distal descending aorta and a compression fracture of the eleventh thoracic vertebra. At emergency surgery, a transverse linear tear at the level of the aortic hiatus was confirmed and repaired.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bakterienproteasen verschiedener untersuchter Stämme der Proteus-, Pseudomonas aeruginosa-, Coli-, Streptococcus faecalis- und Bakteroidesgruppe stören die verwendeten Methoden zur Bestimmung der tryptischen und chymotryptischen Aktivität im Stuhl nicht. Beide innerhalb der Kollektive gemessenen Enzymaktivitäten folgen einer logarithmisch normalen Verteilung. Für die tryptische Aktivität liegt die untere Grenze der einfachen Standardabweichung in den Altersgruppen bei 51%, die obere bei 129% der Mittelwerte, entsprechend 60 und 170% für die chymotryptische Aktivität. Während für die chymotryptische Aktivität keine Unterschiede zwischen den 10 Altersgruppen mit insgesamt 157 weitestgehend gesunden Kindern bestehen, lassen sich für die tryptische Aktivität signifikante Differenzen zwischen der Gesamtgruppe der Frühgeborenen und älteren Kindern nachweisen. Auch die intraindividuellen täglichen Schwankungen der Enzymaktivitäten sind hoch und nur bei “Flaschenkindern” mit gleichbleibender Nahrung geringer. Bei Frühgeborenen und ganz jungen Säuglingen überwiegt die chymotryptische Aktivität, in späterem Alter die tryptische. Der Einfluß beschleunigter und verlangsamter Darmpassage auf die Streuung der Werte wird bei leichter Dyspepsie bzw. Obstipation als annähernd entsprechenden Modellen geprüft, wobei Vorbehalte bei der Interpretation dieser Untersuchungen zu machen sind. Die Beeinflussung der Enzymaktivitätswerte durch beide Passagestörungen geht nicht über die einfache Standardabweichung der jeweiligen Kontrollgruppe hinaus. Passagezeit und Nahrungseinfluß gehen neben anderen Faktoren in die Streuung der Enzymaktivitätswerte ein. Die starke Streuung der Aktivitätswerte im Rahmen der Altersgruppen setzt der Aussagekraft des Verfahrens engere Grenzen.
    Notes: Abstract Measurement of tryptic and chymotryptic activity in the faeces was not disturbed by bacterial proteolytic activity of different bacteria such as proteus, pseudomonas, coli, enterococci, bacteroides. Both activities within a group follow a logarithmic normal distribution. Lower limit of the standard deviation is 51%, upper limit 129% for tryptic activity, respectively 60 and 170% for chymotryptic activity. There were no differences in chymotryptic activity between the 10 age groups comprising 157 healthy children, whereas a significant difference could be found for tryptic activity between prematures and older children. Daily fluctuations of the enzyme activities are quite high in the same individual, and only reduced in “bottlefed” infants with constant nutrition. In prematures and very young infants chymotryptic activity predominates, later tryptic activity. Influence of increased and decreased bowel movements on deviation of the data was tested. There was, however, no real alteration of enzyme activity due to the bowel dysfunction beyond the standard deviation of the control groups. But passage time and nutrition have to be considered beside other factors in the wide distribution of the enzyme activities and the latter limits the value of this method.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Unter gewissen Voraussetzungen ist die Bestimmung der tryptischen, besonders aber der chymotryptischen Aktivität im Stuhl vor allem während der ersten 4–6 Lebenswochen als wichtige Maßnahme in der Diagnostik der Mucoviscidosis anzusehen. Nach Absetzen des Pankreasenzympräparates fällt die tryptische und chymotryptische Aktivität des Stuhles Mucoviscidosis-kranker Kinder ab. Nach Verabfolgung des Präparates steigt die Enzymaktivität in Abhängigkeit von der Höhe der Dosis an und erreicht die Aktivitätswerte altersentsprechender gesunder Kinder. Ein Vergleich zwischen der proteolytischen Aktivität und dem Fettgehalt des Stuhles im Rahmen von Untersuchungsperioden ohne Gabe des Pankreasenzympräparates und bei unterschiedlicher Dosierung des Präparates läßt eine signifikante Korrelation der beiden Parameter vermissen. Es ist nicht erlaubt, aus einer hohen proteolytischen Aktivität des Stuhles auf eine entsprechend verminderte Fettausscheidung zu schließen, da sich fäkale proteolytische Aktivität und Fettausscheidung nicht umgekehrt proportional zueinander verhalten. Man kann deshalb die Höhe der proteolytischen Aktivität im Stuhl von Mucoviscidosis-Patienten nicht als allgemeinen Maßstab für die gesamte Verdauungsleistung bei Pankreasenzymsubstitution betrachten.
    Notes: Abstract Under certain conditions the determination of the tryptic activity, especially of the chymotryptic activity in the feces mostly of infants in the first 4–6 weeks of life is considered to be an important step in the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. The tryptic and chymotryptic activity in the feces of children with cystic fibrosis declines when the substitution of pancreatic enzymes is stopped. On resubstitution, the activity rises in relation to the dose and attains the activity related to age as found in healthy children. A comparison of the proteolytic activity with the fat content of the feces during the study period without the enzyme substitution and during the period when the enzyme dosage varied showed no significant correlation. It is not possible to postulate a poor excretion of fats merely from the high proteolytic activity of the feces because the fecal proteolytic activity and the fat excretion are not inversely proportional to one another. For this reason, one cannot conclude that the grade of the proteolytic activity in the feces of patients with cystic fibrosis is a yardstick for the total digestive process when they are under pancreatic enzyme substitution.

    Notes: Abstract Adrenal enlargement was followed by serial ultrasonography in an infant with congenital lipoid adrenal hyperplasia (lipoid CAH) from day 12 until 2 years and 4 months of age, when they were no longer detectable. Contrary to other types of CAH in which the configuration changes soon after replacement therapy, this infant with lipoid CAH showed persistent adrenal cortex enlargement due to massive accumulation of lipids and cholesterol resulting in a damaged glandular cyto-architecture. Conclusion ultrasonographically persistent enlargement of the adrenals after replacement therapy is suggestive of the lipoid form of CAH.

    Notes: Abstract Funnel-type intraluminal duodenal diverticulum (windsock web) is a rare congenital malformation. A 4-year-old boy with vomiting and abdominal pain for several weeks was referred to the hospital. A plain abdominal X-ray on admission disclosed a double bubble sign. Abdominal echography and CT disclosed a foreign body lodged in the alimentary tract. After the foreign body was removed with a fibrescope, endoscopy showed a stenotic descending portion where the foreign body was located. An upper gastro-intestinal contrast study demonstrated a post-bulbar duodenal stenosis with a barium-filled pear-shaped sac in the descending portion of the duodenum. Surgical exploration was done under the diagnosis of windsock web of the duodenum. A simple excision of the web at its base was carried out. A hole 7 mm in diameter was found at the edge of the web. The microscopic appearance of the resected specimen was characterized by the duodenal mucosa with an extensive chronic inflammation lining both sides of the diverticulum and the lack of muscular layer of mucosa. Conclusion If an ingested material is not excreted in the stool, possible clogging in the intestinal tract should always be considered and a further intensive examination is warranted.
