Tuberculous arthritis in the elbow joint in an adolescent
Öztürk, Mehmet; Akatlı, Ayşenur; Sığırcı, Ahmet; Akpolat, Nusret
Musculoskeletal system tuberculosis (TB) accounts for approximately 10% of all TB cases, excluding those involving pulmonary TB. Elbow TB is extremely rare and is seen in 2%-5% of musculoskeletal system cases. The diagnosis of TB arthritis is very difficult because its onset is insidious and progress is slow and there are nonspecific local and systemic symptoms. A delay in treatment can result in irreversible osteoarticular destruction. This paper presents the clinical and radiological findings of a 12-year-old adolescent patient with elbow TB arthritis.

OBJECTIVE: Non-vascular complications following renal transplantation can cause graft failure. In this study, we present our two-year experience with percutaneous treatment for non-vascular complications following renal transplantation.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 30 patients who underwent percutaneous radiological treatment between March 2014 and July 2016 were included in the study.
RESULTS: Following renal transplantation, a total of 36 percutaneous radiological procedures which includes hydronephrosis secondary to ureteral stricture (n. 15), clinical symptom producing lymphocele due to pressure (14) and creatinine elevated nondilated grafts (n. 7) after excluding other reasons of creatinine elevation, were performed. Six patients received percutaneous treatment for both ureteral stricture and lymphocele. The patients underwent balloon dilatation and double-J ureteral stent due to ureteral stricture. The mean pre- and post-procedural creatinine levels were 4.36 +/- 2.84mg/dL and 2.17 +/- 1.24 mg/dL respectively (p=0.004), indicating a significant difference. For lymphocele treatment, sclerosing agents were injected and lymphatic leakage areas were injected with percutaneous glue. The mean pre- and post-procedural creatinine values were 2.97 +/- 1.78 mg/dL and 1.75 +/- 1.18 respectively (p=0.002), indicating a significant difference. Nephrostomy catheters were placed for patients with elevated creatinine levels and non-dilated collecting system. The mean pre- and post- nephrostomy creatinine levels were 3.55 +/- 2.36 mg/dL and 2.57 +/- 1.82 mg/dL respectively (p>0.05), indicating no statistically significant difference.
CONCLUSION: The results of our study suggest that percutaneous treatment is an effective method for the treatment of non-vascular complications following renal transplantation, and, therefore, should be the first option for the preservation of graft functions.

Background.There is no study of whether the dysplastic changes in the ovarian surface epithelium of X-ray-exposed rats during hysterosalpingography (HSG) decrease or not with the use of Lipiodol and melatonin given both intiaperitoneally (i.p.) and into the suspensorium ovarii.
Objectives. We investigated the restorative effects of melatonin and Lipiodol admimstiation during the HSG piocedure on the dysplastic changes in the ovarian surface epithelium of X-ray-exposed rats.
Material and methods. A total of 50 Wistar rats with regular estrous cycles were randomly divided into 5 groups. Group 1 was the control group. In other groups, X-ray was applied (group 2), 0.1 mL Lipiodol was applied to each uterine horn (group 3),20 mg/kg intraperitoneal melatonin application was followed by 0.1 mL Lipiodol administration to each uterine horn after 15 min (group 4), and 20 mg/kg melatonin was administered to the ligamentum suspensorium ovarii, followed by 0.1 mL Lipiodol application to each uterine horn after 15 min (group 5). The rats in groups 2-5 were exposed to whole body radiation 3 times. After 3 h, the abdomens of all rats were reopened and left oophorectomy was performed.
Results. The presence of nucleoli and mitosis values were found similar among the groups. All other palameters were significantly higher in group 2 compated to other groups, except for the presence of nucleoli and mitosis values (p < 0.05). The presence of hyperchromasia and the total score were found to be the highest in group 2, followed by group 3, when compared to other groups (p < 0.05). It was detected that the detrimental effects of X-iay exposure diminished with Lipiodol use, and were further reduced by the use of melatonin in combination.
Conclusions. We suggest that the use of melatonin and Lipiodol during HSG may prevent the carcinogenic changes exeited by radiation on the ovarian suiface epithelium.
