Pulmonary histiocytosis X is an idiopathic benign disease characterized by proliferation and infiltration of lung tissue by characteristic Langerhans cells and eosinophils. Pulmonary histiocytosis X is common in young male adults, and shows variable clinical characteristics. We experienced a case of pathologically proven pulmonary histiocytosis X in a 30-year-old man who visit to our hospital due to chest discomfort and cough. The chest radiograph of our patient shows right pneumothorax and characteristic multiple thin-walled cysts on the both upper lung fields. The HRCT shows multiple thin-walled cysts, a few scattered nodules in both upper and right middle lung, and right pneumothorax.

We report a case of a 67-year-old woman with giant cell tumor of the temporal bone. A 67-year-old woman presented with localized tenderness, swelling, sensory dysesthesia, dizziness, and headache over the left temporal bone. She was neurologically intact except left hearing impairment, with a nonmobile, tender, palpable mass over the left temporal area. A brain computed tomography(CT) scans showed a relatively well defined heterogenous soft tissue mass with multiple intratumoral cyst and radiolucent, osteolytic lesions involving the left temporal bone. The patient underwent a left frontotemporal craniotomy and zygoma osteotomy with total mass removal. Permanent histopathologic sections revealed a giant cell tumor. She remains well clinically and without tumor recurrence at 2 years after total resection.

Dendritic cells have been known as a member of strong innate immune cells against infectious organelles. In this study, we evaluated the cytokine expression of splenic dendritic cells in chronic mouse toxoplasmosis by tissue cyst-forming Me49 strain and demonstrated the distribution of lymphoid dendritic cells by fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS). Pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-$1{\alpha}$, IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-6, and IL-10 increased rapidly at week 1 post-infection (PI) and peaked at week 3 PI. Serum IL-10 level followed the similar patterns. FACS analysis showed that the number of $CD8{\alpha}^+/CD11c^+$ splenic dendritic cells increased at week 1 and peaked at week 3 PI. In conclusion, mouse splenic dendritic cells showed early and rapid cytokine changes and may have important protective roles in early phases of murine toxoplasmosis.

A six-year-old, female Jin-do dog was referred for the recurrence of vaginal prolapse. Less than 7 months previously, the dog with the vaginal prolapse had been treated with hormone therapy because ultrasonography had identified a single follicular cyst in the left ovary. Three months after the first visit, the dog came into heat and the vaginal prolapse recurred. Ultrasonography showed multiple follicular cysts in both ovaries and radioimmunoassay detected a plasma estradiol-$17{\beta}$ concentration of 13.3 pg/ml. Treatment involved the repositioning of the vaginal prolapsed, ovariohysterectomy and the resection of the protruding tissue. The dog had been completely recovered two months later after the treatment.

Numerous large whitish cysts were found on the scale of wild mullet, Mugil cephalus captured in Jin-Hae bay of southern coastal sea of Korea. The cyst consisted of many trophozoites, mature spores and interstitial tissues of host origin. Spores were 8.25 ㎛ (7.26-9.35) in length, 6.3 ㎛ (5.63-6.78) in width, 4.34 ㎛ (3.96-5.04) in thickness. Polar capsules were 4.45㎛ (3.8-5.4) in length and 2.35 ㎛ (1.62-2.86) in width, and the length of polar filament was about 39.57 ㎛ (26.3-56.33). Based on the spore morphology and the host & tissue specificity, the present specimens were identified as Myxobolus episquamalis Egusa, Maeno & Sorimachi, 1990. Deformation of bony plate of the scales and infiltration of inflammatory cells were observed in the histological sections.

Recently we treated 2cases of endometrioma. The one get very effective result by herbal medicine and acupuncture, but the other can't get it. Edometriois is the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. And the endometriosis of ovary which made cyst is endometrioma. it is usually located on the anterior surface of the ovary. The prescriptions of herbal medicine are Banchongsangagam(蟠蔥散加減) and Geybacktanggagam(桂朴湯加減). The prescriptions of acupuncture are $LI_4,\;LIV_3,\;SP_6\;CV_4$, Jagung(子宮) and Shinmun(神門, 耳). We respect more and more clinical study and to share with its result.

This report describes a 31-year-old female patient with six impacted teeth. The crowns of the impacted teeth were surrounded with cyst-like lesions with a mixed internal structure and well-defined cortical borders. Microscopic examination of the specimen obtained from the follicle of the left mandibular third molar tooth revealed loose to moderately dense collagenous connective tissue with abundant calcified material and sparse epithelial islands. A diagnosis of multiple calcifying hyperplastic dental follicles was made.

The management of odontogenic keratocysts (OKC) remains a hotly debated topic in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Despite numerous studies and systematic reviews on treatment options, there is a lack of consensus and no accepted protocol on the management of OKC. Hence, the aim of this study was to briefly summarize all large systematic reviews in the literature on the management of OKC and formulate an evidence-based management protocol. Data from five large systematic reviews were combined to calculate the mean recurrence rate for each technique. Decompression followed by enucleation along with adjuvant methods such as application of Carnoy's solution and peripheral ostectomy can result in very low recurrence and is an acceptable first line treatment. The surgical approach should be determined by lesion size, patient age, proximity to vital structures, accessibility, soft tissue/cortical perforation, and if the lesion is recurrent.

Brown tumor is usually diagnosed at the terminal stage of hyperparathyroidism. Diagnosis of this tumor is confirmed by endocrinologic investigations along with clinical and radiographic examination. Radiographical differential diagnosis of this tumor includes central giant cell granuloma, aneurysmal bone cyst, metastatic tumor, multiple myeloma, and Paget disease. This report presents a rare case of multiple brown tumors occurring at the maxilla and mandible, which was initially misdiagnosed as central giant cell granuloma. Plain radiographs demonstrated multiple well-defined multilocular radiolucency. CT images showed soft tissue mass with low attenuated lesions, perforation of the lingual cortical plate, and a heterogeneous mass at the right thyroid lobe. These findings were consistent with parathyroid adenoma. The patient had hypercalcemia, hypophosphatemia, and elevated alkaline phosphatase level. Surgical excision of the tumor was performed. No recurrence was observed during a 28-month follow-up.

Hub cells comprise a niche for germline stem cells and cyst stem cells in the Drosophila testis. Hub cells arise from common somatic gonadal precursors in embryos, but the mechanism of their specification is still poorly understood. Here we find that RNA binding proteins Lin28 and Imp mediate transcript stability of Bowl, a known hub specification factor; Bowl transcripts were reduced in the testis of Lin28 and Imp mutants, and also when RNA-mediated interference against Lin28 or Imp was expressed in hub cells. In tissue culture Luciferase assays involving the Bowl 3'UTR, stability of Luc reporter transcripts depended on the Bowl 3'UTR and required Lin28 and Imp. Our findings suggest that proper Bowl function during hub cell specification requires Lin28 and Imp in the testis hub cells.
