[MR venography using 3D-fast STIR sequence for lower extremities].

Venography of the lower extremities performed by injecting iodinated contrast material requires a complicated technique. Veins of lower-flow-speed such as varices are scarcely outlined by using the time-of-flight MR angiography technique. On the other hand, the 2D fast SE technique has proven itself unsuccessful when used with medium magnetic field MRI equipment in which a very long TR is unavailable. We obtained images of lower extremity veins by using the 3D fast STIR technique and medium magnetic field MRI equipment of 0.5 Tesla. The results were crisp angiographic images of lower-flow-speed veins including varices.

Humans

Serum interleukin-2 receptor and interferon-alpha levels in a patient with allergic granulomatous angiitis (Churg-Strauss).

A patient with allergic granulomatous angiitis accompanied by increases in serum interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R) and interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) levels is reported. Laboratory findings revealed leukocytosis with eosinophilia and increased serum IgE and IgG. The serum IL-2R and IFN-alpha were increased. The serum immune complex, interferon-beta, -gamma and complements remained at normal levels. The serum IgE, IgG, IL-2R and IFN-alpha correlated with disease activity. Immunofluorescent studies using frozen sections obtained from the dermal lesion showed no immunoglobulin or complement deposits on vascular walls. Measurements of serum IL-2R and IFN-alpha might be considered reliable serologic indicators of disease activity.

Adult

[A carcinoma of the cecum arising from the orifice of the appendix: a case report].

Reported is the case of a 50-year-old man who was admitted to hospital because of an abdominal pain. A barium enema revealed the shade of a distended, unfilled appendix that had reversed itself on the cecum and the ascending colon, the latter showing compression from the exterior. Further, a colonoscopic examination uncovered a flat, nodular tumor of the cecum that had elevated at the orifice of the vermiform appendix, and 67Ga scintigraphy indicated the uptake at the lower right abdomen. A resected specimen of the tumor showed proliferation in the cecal mucosa at the orifice of the appendix, causing an appendiceal abscess, and the histopathological findings revealed an adenocarcinoma of the cecal mucosa but no malignant transformation of the appendiceal mucosa.

Adenocarcinoma

[Diffuse abdominal uptake of 67Ga-citrate; report of three cases].

Three cases, two peritoneal lymphomatosis and one tuberculous peritonitis, which showed diffuse abdominal uptake of 67Ga-citrate, were reported. 67Ga scan should be indicated for patients suspected of malignancy or inflammation with a lack of localized symptoms and signs in the abdomen. 67Ga-citrate scan also can give notable information on the evaluation of therapeutic response in those patients.

Adult

[A case of IIa + IIc type early carcinoma of the rectum, with no invasion of the submucosa].

A case of a IIa + IIc type early carcinoma of the rectum is reported. A 62-year-old man, who had been checked by immunological latex agglutination faecal occult blood testing, underwent a colorectal examination at Hakodate Chu-o Hospital. A barium enema revealed a slightly elevated lesion with a central depression in the lower rectum. Colonoscopic examination showed a IIa + IIc type of early rectal carcinoma. Study of the resected specimen also confirmed a IIa + IIc type early rectal carcinoma, 17 x 15 mm in diameter. Histologically, a lesion was located within the mucosa and consisted of both a carcinoma and an adenoma. Immunological latex agglutination faecal occult blood testing was thought to be useful for mass screening detection of a colorectal carcinoma.

Adenocarcinoma

[Malignant lymphoma of the ileum].

A 53-year-old man with malignant lymphoma of the ileum is reported. He was admitted to our hospital because of lower abdominal discomfort. 67Ga citrate radionuclide imaging revealed an abnormal round uptake in his lower abdomen. CT scans showed an abnormal soft tissue density mass and a remarkably dilated small intestine in the pelvis. X-ray studies of the small intestine revealed a giant diverticulum-like lesion. Angiograms showed a hypovascular tumor with irregularity of the small vessels. A resected specimen revealed non-Hodgkin's malignant lymphoma, diffuse large-cell type. 67Ga citrate radionuclide imaging was useful in screening for neoplastic lesions in the small intestine because of its easiness and safety.

[A case report of early rectal carcinoma, IIa + IIc type, with no invasion of the submucosa].

A 66-year-old woman was admitted to the Hakodate Chuo Hospital because of abdominal discomfort. A barium enema study revealed a deformity of the middle Houston's valve of the rectum and granular lesions at the Rb region of the rectum. A colonoscopic examination showed the IIa + IIc type of early rectal carcinoma. A resected specimen also revealed IIa + IIc type early rectal carcinoma, 8 X 13 mm in diameter, and well-differentiated adenocarcinoma with no invasion of the submucosa. Infiltration into the lymphatic vessels and regional lymph node metastasis were not encountered. The deformity of the rectal Houston's valve was checked by a barium enema study. It should be emphasized that early detection of colorectal carcinoma with no invasion of the submucosa, requires careful barium enema studies and colonoscopic examination.

Mechanism of resistance to some cephalosporins in Staphylococcus aureus.

The mechanism of resistance to some cephalosporins in Staphylococcus aureus strains was investigated with high-pressure liquid chromatography and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry. Drug inactivation by penicillinase was found to be the main mechanism of resistance to cefazolin, cephaloridine, and cephalothin in S. aureus.
