Background: Paraspinal muscle abscesses are rare, and generally occur due to injections or hematogenous dissemination. Here, we describe a rare case of a paraspinal muscle and the ipsilateral psoas major abscess in the lumbar region that communicated via the interspaces of the costal processes.
Case Report: An 83-year-old man with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus and no history of puncture complained of right low back pain for the past 2 months.
SummaryPrevious studies have suggested that chromogranin A (CgA) is a partner molecule of secretogranin III (SgIII). In mouse pituitary corticotroph-derived AtT-20 cells, SgIII plays a role in sorting CgA/hormone aggregates into secretory granules (SGs). Although CgA expression is equivocal, CgB is clearly detectable in the rat pituitary corticotrophs.

Substances released outside of the cells during cell necrosis are collectively called danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPS) or alarmins. A pro-inflammatory cytokine, interleukin-1α (IL-1α) is known as a typical alarmin. IL-1α transmits signals by binding to IL-1 receptor 1 (IL-1R1), type I protein, expressed on the cell membrane of target cells, but detection of IL-1R1 at the protein and mRNA levels is difficult.

- Clinical amyopathic dermatomyositis is a skin condition that lacks muscle symptoms and is often associated with anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 antibodies, particularly in Japanese patients, leading to poor outcomes in those with lung complications.
- A 52-year-old male presented with severe respiratory issues and skin rashes, diagnosed with dermatomyositis-related interstitial pneumonia, but treatment with steroids and immunosuppressants was largely ineffective.
- Despite some initial improvement after switching medications, the patient ultimately faced worsening respiratory failure due to invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, resulting in a fatal outcome.
Article Synopsis
- Delayed eruption of permanent teeth is common, but impaction of the mandibular first molar is rare, often caused by issues like odontogenic cysts and tumors.
- The article details two cases where odontogenic tumors led to the delayed eruption of the mandibular first molar in children, with specific diagnoses of ameloblastic fibro-odontoma and odontoma.
- Treatment involved curettage of the tumors and fenestration of the impacted molars, which resulted in the successful eruption of the first molar in both cases.
