Abstract
The facial skin of 354 women, aged 18-80, living in Shanghai, was investigated over two successive 6-month periods, summer and winter. Results from clinical assessments indicate that aging signs, such as wrinkling and sagging, are unaffected over such period. However, physical measurements revealed alterations in some functional criteria of the skin, such as sebum output, skin colour, melanin content of pigmented spots, skin hydration, all being increased during summer. The relationships between all criteria, as well as technical or applied inferences/consequences from this study, are discussed.

Abstract
The objective was to determine the occurrence of four urethral pathogens in urine specimens from symptomatic men using transcription mediated amplification (TMA) assay. Urethral swab and urine specimens from 300 men presenting to a family practitioner were Gram stained and tested for Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Trichomonas vaginalis and Mycoplasma genitalium using three TMA assays respectively. Except for T. vaginalis, the other recognized pathogens viz. N. gonorrhoeae, C. trachomatis and M. genitalium were detected in significantly larger numbers of patients with urethral discharge than in those with burning on micturition (BOM). The overall prevalences were 16.7% for N. gonorrhoeae, 12.3% C. trachomatis, 8.0% T. vaginalis and 17.3% M. genitalium. With regard to microscopic evidence of urethritis, significant associations were found for N. gonorrhoeae and C. trachomatis, but not for M. genitalium and T. vaginalis. This study demonstrated that in symptomatic men attending family practice, M. genitalium and T. vaginalis are also important aetiological agents of urethritis and hence treatment strategies be they syndromic management or laboratory directed should cover for these causative agents. The microscopic diagnosis of urethritis may not be important for treatment strategies. The current syndromic treatment guidelines for developing countries including South Africa need modification.

Abstract
Sir Henry Williamson Gray was a prominent Aberdeen surgeon who took up the post of Chief of Surgery at the Royal Victoria Hospital, Montreal in 1923. In what subsequently became known as "The Sir Henry Williamson Gray Affair" in the annals of McGill University, his career was ruined and his reputation left in tatters. The authors examine the available evidence and conclude that Gray was treated unfairly. They hope they have helped restore his name and reputation.

Abstract
The role of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in metastatic sarcoma is not well defined. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of RFA in a series of sarcoma patients. A retrospective search of a prospectively maintained database identified 13 gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) patients and 12 with other histological subtypes treated with RFA. All the GIST patients received RFA for metastatic disease in the liver: 12 of these responded to the first RFA procedure and one achieved stable disease. Two GIST patients received RFA on two occasions to separate lesions within the liver and both responded to the second RFA procedure. Of the other subtypes: 7 underwent RFA to liver lesions, 5 of these responded to RFA, one progressed and 1 was not assessable for response at the time of analysis. All 5 patients with lung metastases achieved a response following their first RFA procedure. RFA was effective and well tolerated in this series of sarcoma patients. RFA may have a role in patients with GIST who have progression in a single metastasis but stable disease elsewhere. Further larger studies are required to better define the role of this technique in this patient population.

Abstract
Cholestasis in neonates and infants frequently confronts pediatricians and pathologists with diagnostic problems. A specific feature of the liver in neonates is the ability to react to different causative factors with a non-specific hepatitis-like picture, the so-called neonatal hepatitis. A diagnostic discrimination of the various diseases is histologically only possible with close attention to typical morphologic features. Thus, extrahepatic biliary obstructions, such as atresia or stenosis of the hepatic duct or choledochal cysts present with portal bile duct proliferation and signs of bile retention in the neoducts. In Alagille syndrome (arteriohepatic dysplasia), however, paucity of intrahepatic bile ducts is an important diagnostic feature. Metabolic disorders, such as fructosemia and galactosemia are additionally associated with steatosis. Knowledge of the clinical course and laboratory and imaging data are necessary to make the definitive diagnosis in synopsis with the morphologic findings and requires a close co-operation between the pediatrician and the pathologist.
