    Abstract Introduction: Secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) occurs as one of the complications associated with interstitial pneumonia (IP). Chest drainage is performed when there is a large volume of air in the pleural space. Notably, SSP with IP (SSP-IP) is frequently not curable by chest drainage only. A digital drainage system (DDS) provides an objective evaluation of air leakage and maintains a pre-determined negative pressure, compared to an analog drainage system (ADS). Few studies have reported the effectiveness of DDS in the treatment of SSP-IP. This study aimed to assess the usefulness of DDS for SSP-IP.
    Methods: This retrospective study included patients with SSP-IP who had undergone chest drainage. We reviewed the included patients' medical records, laboratory data, computed tomography findings, and pulmonary function data.
    Results: DDS was used in 24 patients and ADS in 49 patients. The mean duration of chest drainage was 11.4 ± 1.9 days in the DDS group and 14.2 ± 1.3 days in the ADS group, which was not significantly different (p = 0.218). Surgery, pleurodesis, and/or factor XIII administration were performed in 40 patients. Additionally, five (20.8%) patients in the DDS group and nine (18.4%) in the ADS group had a recurrence of pneumothorax within 4 weeks (p = 1.000). One patient (14%) in the DDS group and six (12.2%) in the ADS group (p = 0.414) were cured of pneumothorax but later died.
    Conclusion: DDS did not demonstrate a significant difference in the shortening of chest drainage duration. Further study is needed to validate the results of this study.

    Abstract Most of germ cell tumor is gonadal origin. However 5% of malignant germ cell tumors appear in extragonadal organs. Because extragonadal germ cell tumors (EGGCTs) are found anywhere on the midline such as pineal gland, mediastinum and retroperitoneum, the origin of this type of tumor is controversial. EGGCTs are often seen between childhood and young adult; an elderly patient with EGGCT is rarely met. Here we report a case that an abnormal alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) fractionation pattern was helpful for diagnosis of retroperitoneal germ cell tumor. A presenile man with hepatic cirrhosis caused by chronic hepatitis C showed an intraperitoneal tumor-like mass on computed tomography and thus hepatocellular carcinoma was suspected. A serological test re- vealed elevated total AFP level and AFP-L3%. The latter is the proportion of fucosylated AFP on the lectin-affinity based fractionation. Noticeably the fractionation pattern of AFP of this patient was abnormal, sug- gesting a diversity of lectin-affinity of AFP in germ cell tumors. This patient also showed an atypical in- crease in beta human chorionic gonadotropin (8hCG). We suggest the measurement of 6hCG for early differ- ential diagnosis of retroperitoneal germ cell tumor and hepatocellular carcinoma when an abnormal AFP frac- tionation pattern was detected in a patient with suspected hepatocellular carcinoma.

    Abstract Squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCA) is a glycoprotein that belongs to the serine protease inhibitor family. Clinically, it has been utilized as a tumor marker for squamous cell carcinoma. In clinical laboratories, SCCA is measured by several immunoassays. Recently, a number of studies have been reported that there is a significant difference in values between the immunoassays, attributing to SCCA-immunoglobulin complex. We found a case with significant difference in the SCCA value between CLIA and FEIA. In this case, SCCA-Immunoglobulin complex was not confirmed by gel filtration analysis. Interestingly, 5 to 10 kDa slightly-high molecular weight SCCA compared to control was detected by immunoblotting assay. It may be suspected that the aberrant glycosyl modification of SCCA influenced the reactivity to immunoassays.
