This paper dealt with etiological studies on the acute fatal disease of Angora rabbits occurring as a group in Korea. The disease was confirmed as an acute infectious disease caused by virus. The results obtained were summarized as follows: The disease produced a high morbidity in the rearing Angora rabbits and a high mortality in the infected rabbits, and was acute. The infected rabbits died soon without premonitory signs after inappetence. The body temperature of the affected rabbits rose to $40^{\circ}C$ and nearly all deaths occurred within 48 hours after inoculation. In many cases a bloody foam was visible from the nostrils after death. According to the progress of the disease the nervous signs, such as ataxia, paralysis of the legs, and torticollis could be recognized in the some cases. Rabbits that had recovered from the disease were severe emaciation, and bristly and sparse hairs. In macroscopical findings, there were hemorrhage and edema of the lung, hemorrhage or hyperemia of the tracheal and broncheal mucosae, appearance of blood-tinged effusion in the respiratory tract. The principal lesions were found in the liver. Usually the lobular necrosis of the liver cells was progressed, and focal necrosis and hemorrhagic spots of various sizes were often observed in the liver. Liver was as a whole pale. In chronic cases, however, there was a slight liver cirrhosis with the atrophy of the parenchymal cells. The other lesions encountered grossly consisted of swelling and petechiae of the kidney, hyperemia and hemorrhage of the spleen, catarrh of the small intestine, and hyperemia of the brain. The urinary bladder contained a lot of turbid urine or bloody urine and urinary cast, and was distended with the urine. In microscopical findings, the most striking lesions occurred in the liver and may be classified as viral hepatitis. The hepatic lesions were initially characterized by progression from periportal to peripheral necrosis of the lobules with the infiltration of mononuclear cells. Focal necrosis of various sizes, hemorrhage and hyperemia were often observed in the hepatic lobules. In chronic cases, there were intensive infiltration of lymphocytes, proliferation of fibroblasts, appearance of plasmal cells, and atrophy of parenchymal cells in the hepatic tissue. Perivascular lymphocytic infiltration and meningitis were seen in the brain and spinal cord. In the kidney, there were acute glomerulonephritis, hemorrhage, necrosis of the uriniferous tubules, and retention of eosinophilic substance within the renal tubules. Proliferation of fibroblasts and infiltration of mono-nuclear cells were found in the interstitial stroma of the kidney in chronic case. There were also hemorrhage and edema in the lung, hyperemia and hemorrhage in the trachea and bronchus, perivascular lymphocytic infiltration and focal myocardial necrosis in the heart, hyperemia and hemorrhage in the spleen, vacuolization and desquamation of mucous epithelia in the urinary bladder, catarrhal inflammation of the small intestine, hemorrhage in the adrenal cortex and hyperemia in the other organs. In the electron microscopical findings of the hepatic tissue, crystals of viral particles appeared in the cytoplasm of the hepatocytes and the sinusoidal endothelial cells, and the viral particles, were small in size and polygonal. The authors suppose the virus may belong to picornaviridae family of RNA viruses. Also immature virus-like particles, dilated rough endoplasmic reticulum and destruction of nuclear membrane were seen in the hepatocytes. From these results, it is concluded that the sudden death is an acute viral disease characterized by hepatitis and the affected rabbits may be died of viremia.

Purpose: Burkholderia cepacia is an aerobic, glucose-non-fermenting, gram-negative bacillus that mainly affects immunocompromised and hospitalized patients. Burkholderia cepacia has high levels of resistance to many antimicrobial agents, and therapeutic options are limited. The authors sought to analyze the incidence, clinical manifestation, risk factors, antimicrobial sensitivity and outcomes of B. cepacia urinary tract infection (UTI) in pediatric patients. Methods: Pediatric patients with urine culture-proven B. cepacia UTI between January 2000 and December 2014 at Samsung Medical Center, a tertiary referral hospital in Seoul, Republic of Korea, were included in a retrospective analysis of medical records. Results: Over 14 years, 14 patients (male-to-female ratio of 1:1) were diagnosed with B. cepacia UTI. Of 14 patients with UTI, 11 patients were admitted to the intensive care unit, and a bladder catheter was present in 9 patients when urine culture was positive for B. cepacia. Patients had multiple predisposing factors for UTI, including double-J catheter insertion (14.2%), vesico-ureteral reflux (28.6%), congenital heart disease (28.6%), or malignancy (21.4%). Burkholderia cepacia isolates were sensitive to piperacillin-tazobactam and sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim, and resistant to amikacin and colistin. Treatment with parenteral or oral antimicrobial agents including piperacillin-tazobactam, ceftazidime, meropenem, and sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim resulted in complete recovery from UTI. Conclusion: Burkholderia cepacia may be a causative pathogen for nosocomial UTI in pediatric patients with predisposing factors, and appropriate selection of antimicrobial therapy is necessary because of high levels of resistance to empirical therapy, including aminoglycosides.

아미노아실-tRNA 합성효소는 단백질을 만드는 번역(translation)단계에서 아미노산을 활성화시키고 적절한 아미노산을 해당 tRNA에 결합을 시키는 중요한 효소이며, IARS2 유전자는 미토콘드리아에서 작용하는 isoleucylt-RNA 합성효소를 코딩하는 핵의 유전자이다. IARS2 유전자의 돌연변이는 백내장, 성장 호르몬 결핍, 감각 신경병증, 감각신경성 난청, 골격 형성 이상 증후군의 특징을 보이는 CAGSSS (MIM#616007)라는 희귀 질환의 원인으로 상염색체 열성으로 유전된다. 현재까지 이 증례 보고를 포함하여 29명의 환자만이 보고가 되었음에도 단지 백내장의 증상만 나타냈던 환자, 그리고 신경학적 증상이 두드러지는 Leigh 증후군을 유발하면서 여러 장기에 영향을 주는 환자 등 다양한 임상 증상의 환자가 보고되었다. Leigh 증후군은 드문 진행성 신경 퇴행성 미토콘드리아 질환이다. 이 연구는 IARS2 연관된 Leigh 증후군의 환자에서 방광 기능의 이상의 표현형을 보고하는 첫 증례 보고로 의미가 있다. 5세의 한국인 여아는 복부 팽만을 동반한 복통으로 응급실에 내원하였으며, 복부CT에서 명백한 폐쇄 증상, 급성 신장염, 요로감염의 징후가 보이지 않으면서 현저하게 팽창된 방광이 확인 되었다. 여아의 발달 상태는 발달 저하를 보이면서, 6개월에 뒤집기가 가능하였지만 이후는 신경학적 퇴행으로 내원당시에는 목 가누기도 되지 않고, 의미 있는 단어를 말하지도 못하는 전반적인 발달 지연 상태였다. 2세에는 양쪽 눈의 백내장이 발생하여 수술한 과거력이 있었다. 뇌 MRI T2 강조영상에서는 양쪽에 대칭적으로 기저핵(basal ganglia)에 고신호를 보였고, 이는 Leigh 증후군에 전형적인 영상의 특징이다. Whole mitochondrial genome의 유전자검사를 시행했지만 의미 있는 돌연변이가 확인되지 않았으므로, Whole exome sequencing 검사를 시행했으며, IARS2 유전자의 이중대립유전자 돌연변이(biallelic mutation), c.2446C>T (p. Arg816Ter)와 c.2450G>A (p. Arg817His)가 확인이 되었고 부모님은 보인자였다. 현재까지 IARS2 유전자의 돌연변이를 가지는 환자 중에서 신경학적 발달 저하, 인지장애 등의 증상이 동반된 환자는 신체의 다중장기질환의 증상으로 심비대, 부정맥, 빈혈, 측만증, 청력 저하, 뇌전증, 부갑상선저하증이 알려졌으나, 이 연구에서 IARS2 유전자 돌연변이를 가진 환자에서 배뇨근의 이상을 동반한 과민성방광증상을 확인하여 방광이상증상을 처음 보고를 한다. IARS2 유전자의 이상이 확인된 환자에서는 하부요로이상증상이 동반 가능성에 대해서 인지하는 것이 필요하고, 증상이 보이면 배뇨 일지나 요역동학검사를 통해서 조기에 진단 및 치료가 환자의 관리에 필요할 수 있다. 이 증례 보고는 IARS2 유전자의 임상 양상의 확대 및 유전자의 이해를 넓히는데 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

HWW(Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich) 증후군은 중복자궁, 일측성 폐쇄질 및 동측 신장 무형성을 보이는 비뇨생식기계의 선천성 기형으로 매우 드문 질환 중 하나이다. 대부분 초경 이후 발생하는 월경통이나 복강내 종물등으로 발견되지만, 본 증례는 소아에서 반복되는 요로 감염과 현미경적 혈뇨로 인해 진단된 경우이다. 복부 초음파 검사에서 일측 신무형성이나 중복 자궁의 소경이 보일 때는 이러한 뮬러관 기형의 가능성을 염두에 두어야 보다 빠른 진단이 가능하고, 환자의 고통 또한 중여줄 수 있을 것이다. 특히 반복되는 요로 감염시에도 단순한 감염 치료보다 정밀검사를 항상 염두에 두어야 할 것이다.

Objectives The aim of this review is to figure out which acupoints are frequently used to treat low back pain and which exercises are effective to low back pain. Methods We searched the three electronic database (RISS, KISS, KTKP) and manually checked related Korean journals and reference lists up to June 2013. We investigated the frequency of acupoints for using treatment of low back pain. We Introduce exercise therapies we can do easily at home without professional skills for treatment low back pain. Results We included 72 articles in this study. The most frequently adopted acupoints were BL25, BL23, BL24, GB30, BL40, BL26, BL60, GB34, BL52, BL57, GB39. The most frequently adopted meridian pathways were BL, GB, GV, ST. The most frequently adopted disease causing low back pain were HIVD (Herniated intervertebral disc), Lumbar sprain, Spinal stenosis, Compression fracture, Cauda equina syndrome, Spondylolisthesis, Ankylosing spondylitis. There are many exercise therapies (Lumbar stabilizing exercise, Resistance exercise, Bareunmom physical exercise, Mckenzie exercise, Williams exercise, Emblass exercise, Swiss ball exercise, Thera band exercise, Yoga) for treatment low back pain. Conclusions These results suggest that most frequently adopted acupoints were foot taeyang urinary bladder channel acupoints. Beacuse foot taeyang urinary bladder channel is passes through the waist, it will be effective for treatment of low back pain. Also exercise therapy is effective for enhance Muscular strength. In order to treatment of low back pain, Acupuncture treatment is also important, as well as exercise therapy.
