Septic internal jugular vein-sigmoid sinus thrombosis (IJV-SST) associated with a malpositioned central venous catheter is a rare condition. It is potentially life-threatening and necessitates early diagnosis and rapid administration of appropriate medications. Unfortunately, it is difficult to diagnose due to vague clinical presentations. Several studies such as CT, MRI, and cerebral angiography should be performed and carefully examined to help make the diagnosis. We report a case of septic IJV-SST due to a malpositioned central venous catheter.

This is a case study on the counterplan for reducing agricultural environmental pollution in the SANHYUN Livestock Club through participatory research from March, 1993 to June, 1995. In the monthly meetings, the active discussion about agricultural environmental pollution gradually increased with the village people, Club members and other people because of a consciousness-raising created through discussion activities. In addition, the Club members have established a septic tank and accumulation store-house after active participation in such discussions about the environmental pollution. After two years, the number of septic tanks and accumulation store-houses has increased from two to 10. Gradually all village people are becoming more aware of village environmental pollution. Four non-member farmers have constructed a septic tanks and several member farmers have constructed the fermentation system of sawdust and hulls.

Septic arthritis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a rare disease. The most common symptoms of this disease are acute malocclusion, limited mouth opening, swelling, and tenderness of affected TMJ. These symptoms are often confused with internal derangement of the articular disc, rheumatoid arthritis, retrodiscitis, or osteoarthritis. Therefore, differential diagnosis by image examination is required. Usually, antimicrobial treatment and surgical drainage by needle aspiration, arthroscopy, or arthrotomy are effective treatment approaches. In this study, a patient who was diagnosed with septic arthritis was treated with arthrocentesis and antibiotics without significant complications. We present a case report with a review of the literature.

The performance of a small on-site wastewater treatment system consisting of an anaerobic septic tank and upgraded absorbent biofilter was investgted . The anaerobic septic tank was used as a pre-treatment of the absorbent Biofitler instead of the primary clarifier. The treatment capacity of the system was examined by changing the hydraulinc loadings to the Absorbent Biofilter as 2.5㎥/day , 4.5㎥/day, 6.0㎥/day, respective. The effluent from the septic tank was fed into the Absorbent Bilfilter. Based on the experimental results, the quality of treated wastewater satisfied the regulation and the BOD and SS was removed down to approximately 5mg/$\ell$ and 1mg/$\ell$, respectively.

Mungbean trypsin inhibitor (MBTI) was isolated and purified from Mung bean which has been used as a galenic and traditional food. MBTI and poly(ethylene glycol) were conjugated by using water soluble carbodiimide. We evaluated the therapeutic value of the MBTI and MBTI-PEG conjugate using animal models, sublethal septic shock model in guinea pig caused by pseudomonal elastase, shock model in rat caused by lipopolysaccharide, and the vascular permeability test by using pseudomonal elastase. In two shock model in guinea p Is and in rat, hypotesion shock was inhibited by pretreatment of MBTI. And also the vascular permeability caused by pseudomonal elastase reduced by pretreatment of MBTI. Also, therapeutic value of the MBTI-PEG conjugate was evaluated by using the sublethal septic shock model caused by pseudomonal elastase. The MBTI-PEG conjugate was more effective than native MBTI against pseudomonal elastase induced septic shock in guinea pig model.

From the roots of Angelica dahurica Bentham et Hooker (Umbelliferae), three known coumarin derivatives have been isolated and identified as 8-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-3-methylbutyloxy) psoralen, 5,8-di(2,3-dihydroxy-3-methylbutyloxy) psoralen, 9-[3-($\beta$-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-2-hydroxy-3-methylbutoxy]-7H-furo[3,2-g][1]benzopyran-7-one. This is the first report of the occurrence of these compounds in this plant. These three compounds were tested for activity in septic shock model. Among these compounds, 2 showed relatively strong preventive activity against septic shock.

Leukocyte adhesion deficiency is a rare primary immunodeficiency and autosomal recessive disorder caused by a mutation in the gene encoding CD18, which is a constituent of leukocyte integrins. Clinical features usually begin with a delay in the separation of the umbilical cord in the neonatal period, and are characterized by marked leukocytosis with infection, delayed wound healing, and repeated bacterial and fungal infections. We experienced a case of leukocyte adhesion deficiency diagnosed in the neonatal period, in which a late preterm infant admitted to neonatal intensive care unit presented with a septic hip. Flow cytometry analysis of whole blood showed a decrease in the expression of CD11b/CD18. This is the first case of leukocyte adhesion deficiency with neonatal septic hip diagnosed in Korea.

He-Ne, IR Laser가 급성 화농성 슬관절염 치유에 미치는 효과를 알아보기 위해 Sprague-Dawley계 흰쥐를 포도상 구균으로 화농성 슬관절염을 유발 4일 후 부터 1일 1회 4분 및 10분 동안 7일간 레이저로 점조사를 하였다. 레이저 점조사를 한 동물 혈액의 효소활성과 IgG의 변화를 분석하여 얻은 결과는 다음과 같다. ALT활성은 대조군과 각 실험군이 비슷한 수준을 보였다. ALT활성은 관절염군에 비해 10분 레이저군은 유의한 증가를 보였으나 4분 레이저군은 유의하게 감소하여 대조군과 비슷하였다. LDH활성은 대조군에 비하여 10분 레이저군은 유의하게 증가하였으나 관절염군과 4분 레이저군은 유의한 감소를 보였다. ALP활성은 대조군에 비하여 관절염군, 4분 및 10분 레저군이 유의하게 감소되었으나, 그러나 관절염군에 비해 10분 레이저군은 유의한 증가를 보였다. CK활성은 대조군과 관절염군이 비슷하였으나, 관절염군에 비하여는 10분 레이저군은 유의하게 증가하였고, 4분 레이저군은 유의하게 감소되었다. IgG의 변화는 관절염군에 비해 10분 레이저군은 유의한 증가를 보였으며 4분 레이저군은 비슷한 수준을 보였으나 대조군에 비하여 각 실험군이 유의한 증가를 보였다. 이상의 결과를 종합해볼 때 레이저 치료로 근육에 많이 함유하고 있는 효소들이 염증이 있는 관절염군에 비하여 10분 레저군에서 AST, LDH, ALP 및 CK활성과 IgG 농도는 유의하게 증가하였으나,4분 레이저군에서는 AST, LDH, 및 CK활성이 관절염군에 비해 유의하게 감소된 것으로 봐 화농성 슬관절염 치유에 효과가 있는 것으로 생각된다. 앞으로 화농성 관절염에 대해 얻어질 수 있는 레이저 치료효과와 치유기전, 그리고 적절한 조사시간에 대해서는 더 연구되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.

Background and Objectives: The prognostic implications of septic cardiomyopathy have not been clearly demonstrated. We evaluated serial changes in left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) function in patients with septic shock and their prognostic value on 7-day and in-hospital mortality. Methods: Transthoracic echocardiography was performed within 48 hours of the diagnosis of septic shock and 7 days after the initial evaluation. In addition to traditional echocardiographic parameters, LV and RV function was evaluated using global longitudinal strain (GLS), and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE). Results: A total of 162 patients (men, 83, 51.5%; 70.7±13.4 years; Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation [APACHE] II, 30.6±9.2) were enrolled. Initial GLS and TAPSE were -14.9±5.2% and 16.9±5.5 mm, and improved in the follow-up evaluation (GLS, -17.6±4.9%; TAPSE, 19.2±5.4 mm). Seven-day and in-hospital mortality were 24 (14.9%) and 64 (39.8%). Seven-day mortality was significantly associated with initial GLS >-16% (odds ratio [OR], 14.066, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.178-167.969, p=0.037) and APACHE II score (OR, 1.196, 95% CI, 1.047-1.365, p=0.008). The in-hospital mortality of 7-day survivors was associated with follow-up TAPSE <16 mm (OR, 10.109, 95% CI, 1.640-62.322, p=0.013) and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score (OR, 1.340, 95% CI, 1.078-1.667, p=0.008). GLS was not associated with in-hospital mortality of 7-day survivors. Conclusions: Fluctuation of both ventricular function was common in septic shock. Seven-day mortality of patients with septic shock was related to GLS, whereas in-hospital mortality of 7-day survivors was related to TAPSE, not to GLS.

We reported the two cases of olecranon osteomyelitis secondary to the iatrogenic chronic relapsing septic olecranon bursitis. Infection was well eradicated by excision of the infected bursa and curettage of the eroded olecranon under the coverage of antibiotic therapy
