Objectives: This study was designed to correlation between the axial section area in psoas major muscles and uncleus discharge pat of HIVD(herniated intervertebral disc) of lumbar(L)-spine. Methods: We measured the axial section area in psoas muscles. Then through the medical charts, we investigated nucleus discharge pat of HIVD of L-spine. We analyzed the relationship between them. Results: There was no significant correlation nucleus discharge part and psoas major muscle's axial section area. There was significant correlation aging and psoas major muscle's axial section area with control the sex. Conclusions: According to above results, there was no significant the area of axial section in psoas major muscles and nucleus discharge part of HIVD of L-spine.

Ultrastructural changes in Z-line, M-line and myofilaments of bovine psoas muscle produced by leukocyte lysosomal enzymes in vitro at different pH values (pH 7.0 and 4.0), temperatures (37 and $4^{\circ}C$) and time intervals (12, 24 hours at $37^{\circ}C$ and 36, 168 hours at $4^{\circ}C$) were studied by transmission electron microscope. Muscle incubated with leukocyte lysosomal enzymes at pH 7.0 produced distinguishable degradation of Z-line, M-Line and H-zone at both temperatures but at acidic pH (pH 4.0), Z-line were very stable and myofilaments were severely disintegrated.

Surface ultrastructural changes in endomysial connective tissue, sarcolemma and transverse ridges of bovine psoas muscle produced by leukocyte lysosomal enzymes in vitro at different pH (pH 7.0 and 4.0), temperature (37 and $4^{\circ}C$) and time interval (12, 24 hours at $37^{\circ}C$ and 36, 168 hours at $4^{\circ}C$ were studied by scanning electron microscope. Muscle incubated with leukocyte lysosomal enzymes at pH 7.0 produced severe degradation of endomysial and sarcolemmal connective tissue and transverse ridges but at pH 4.0 endomysial and sarcolemmal structures remain moderately stable and tranverse ridges are very stable even after 24 hours incubation at $37^{\circ}C$ and 7 days incubation at $4^{\circ}C$.

A 68-year-old man presented with a bed sore with pus discharge on lower back. Radiographs showed extensive destruction of the L4 vertebral body. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed fluid collection with an enhanced wall at the defect of the L4 vertebral body extending into both psoas muscles. The primary diagnosis was neuropathic spondylopathy, but infective spondylitis was not ruled out. Initially, he was treated with antibiotics for two weeks. A follow-up MRI showed no improvement of the abscess, so surgical exploration was done. Charcot spinal arthropathy resulted in extensive vertebral body destruction that may be similar to infectious spondylitis, particularly in the case with fluid accumulation due to rupture of dura.

Intraabdommal abscess usually causes distress with fever, leukocytosis, pain and toxicity. Diagnosis of intraabdominal abscess is occasionally difficult and It has high morbidity. However radiologic method, such as ultrasonography, CT scan, or RI scan are helpful to early detection of intraabdominal abscess. Among these methods, ultrasonography is a non-invasive technique and performed without discomfort to patient. And also differential diagnosis between cystic and solid lesion is very easy and sequential ultrasonography in same patient is valuable for the evaluation of treatment effect. We analyzed the ultrasonic features of 48 cases with intra-abdominal abscesses and the results are as follows; 1. In total 48 cases, the intra-abdominal abscesses were 30 cases, the retroperitoneal abscesses, 5 cases, and the visceral abscesses, 13 cases. 2. The causes of the intra-abdominal abscesses were perforating appendicitis (25 cases), postoperative complications (5 cases), pyogenic and amebic hepatic abscesses (13 cases), and the others (5 cases). 3. Round or oval shaped lesions were 26 cases (54%), irregular shape, 18 cases (38%), and multiple abscess formation in 4 cases (8 %). 4. The size of the lesions were between 5 and 10cm in diameter in 54% of total 48 cases, and the most frequent feature of the echo-pattern of the lesions was cystic with or without internal echogenicity (69%).
