[Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC)-CREST overlap syndrome complicated with Sjögren's syndrome].

We reported two sisters of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC)-CREST overlap syndrome complicated with Sjögren's syndrome (SS). Both patients had Raynaud's phenomenon, sclerodactylia, telangiectasia, chronic sialoadenitis, chronic nonsuppurative destructive cholangitis by liver biopsy and were positive for anti-centromere antibodies. This is the first report of two sisters of PBC-CREST overlap syndrome complicated with SS.

[Usefulness of continuous arterial infusion chemotherapy for post operative multiple recurrence and residual hepatocellular carcinoma].

Twenty five patients with postoperative multiple recurrence and residual hepatocellular carcinoma received continuous arterial infusion of CDDP and 5-FU via implanted reservoir. For the next five days, 10 mg/body of CDDP and 250 mg/body of 5-FU using arterial infusion were administered. It was discontinued for two days as one course, and 4 courses were basally administered. The efficacy rate was 60%, and there were 7 (28%) CR (complete response) cases. The survival rate was 76.0% for 1 year and 36.5% for 3 years, which is a favorable result considering their advanced stage. Thus, this treatment seemed to be effective for multiple hepatocellular carcinoma.

[A case of pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1 with systemic lupus erythematosus].

A case of pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) type 1 with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is reported. A 36-year-old women was admitted to our hospital with the complaints of dyspnea, arthralgia, tetany and tremor. Laboratory findings on admission showed; leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, hypocalcemia, positive antinuclear, anti-RNP, anti-Sm antibodies. A diagnosis of PHP type 1 was made from the findings of Albright's osteodystrophy and Ellsworth-Howard test. On the basis of various auto antibodies and clinical findings, the patient was diagnosed as SLE, too. She was started on a therapy of prednisolone at a dose of 40 mg per day. Her clinical manifestations immediately became better, and her laboratory findings subsequently improved. Up to the present, the case report of overlapping syndrome of PHP type 1 and SLE is very rare. Both PHP and SLE were considered to be in a category of autoimmune disease and the relationship between PHP and SLE was discussed.
