Infection is common in neutropenic patients who have hematologic malignancies. Pyomyositis forms abscesses in the skeletal muscle withStaphylococcus aureusas the most common pathogen. Patients with pyomyositis who also have hematologic malignancies are rare especially when the primary diagnosis was the malignancy. In addition, to the authors’ knowledge there are no reports of Pseudomonas species as the myositis pathogen.

Amyloidosis is a disease caused by extracellular deposition of the fibrous protein amyloid in one or more sites of the body, leading to organ dysfunction and death. Its causes and pathogenesis are variable, with common histopathologic features. Amyloidosisis a rare disease, and usually present in the heart and frequently in the gastrointestinal tract, skin but is rarely encountered in lymph nodes. Amyloidosis in Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia (WM) is exclusively due to amyloid lightchain deposition. Only a few case of amyloidosis in WM have been reported. We report on one case that occurred independently of with Primary amyloidosis which involved only multiple lymphadenopathy and waldenstrom’s microglobulinemia involving bone marrow.

This study was conducted to analyze the operating conditions of predenitrification process to improve the treatment efficiency in low organic loading sewage plant in use today, and to investigate the treatment efficiency of pilot plant added night soil as well as the nitrogen removal characteristics of pilot plant added carbon sources. In the operation under the condition of BOD5 sludge load 0.03-0.28kg BOD5/kg VSS/d and oxic ammoniac nitrogen sludge load 0.02-0.24 kgNH4+-N/kg MLVSS/d, nitrification efficiency is higher than 95%. In order to achieve 70% nitrogen removal at the T-N sludge loading 0.06kg T-N/kg VSS․d and the SRT 6~11 days, optimum operating factors were revealed to CODcr/T-N ratio 9, recycle ratio 2.6, and denitrification volume ratio 0.33. At this time, denitrification capacity was approximately 0.09 kg NO3--N/kg CODcr; specific nitrification rate was 3.4mg NH4+-N/g MLVSS/hr; and specific denitrification rate was 4.8mg NO3--N/g MLVSS/hr.
