Abstract
Spinal epidural lipomatosis (SEL) is a rare condition characterized by abnormal deposits of fat in the epidural space. In a severe form this may cause compression of neural elements. This is the second report of SEL secondary to a carcinoid tumour. Our patient was a 34-year-old Caucasian male farm worker presenting with acute spinal cord compression. He had gained 11kg, and had developed Type II diabetes mellitus in the preceding 12months. On examination he displayed characteristic features of Cushing's syndrome. MRI demonstrated posterior epidural lipomatosis, with cord compression from T3 to T8. Urgent spinal cord decompression was performed. Further investigation confirmed a biochemical Cushing's syndrome secondary to an ACTH-producing pulmonary carcinoid tumour.

Abstract
Placental mesenchymal dysplasia (PMD) is a rare human disorder associated with stillbirth, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome. Although the morphology of this condition has been described in 86 cases, the underlying cellular origin is unclear. We investigate the placental cell type involved in a case of PMD associated with a live born female infant with IUGR. In PMD intermediate villi contain cisternae, lined by non-proliferative cells. Immunostaining reveals they are not of trophoblast or vascular endothelial origin. There is positive immunostaining for lymphatic endothelium; this abnormal lymphangiogenesis is in concordance with current hypotheses regarding the aetiology of PMD. Furthermore, such observations suggest that placental villous mesenchyme may differentiate into various cell types, even those not normally found in the human placenta.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We performed a mutation screen of NR4A2 (also known as NURR1) in 409 Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. We identified a novel single base substitution in the 5'UTR of the NR4A2 (also known as NURR1) gene (c.-309C>T). RESULTS We have performed expression studies in neuronal cell lines showing that the c.-309C>T mutation reduces NR4A2 mRNA expression in vitro. We have confirmed this finding in vivo by performing allele specific real-time PCR from brain tissue harbouring the 309C>T mutation and show a 3.48+/-1.62 fold reduction in mRNA expression of the mutant allele compared to wild-type. In addition we have undertaken genome wide expression analysis of the mutant NR4A2 brain and shown underexpressed genes were significantly enriched for gene ontology categories in nervous system development and synaptic transmission and overexpressed genes were enriched for unfolded protein response and morphogenesis. Lastly we have shown that the c.-309C>T mutation abrogates the protective effect of wild-type NR4A2 against apoptopic stress. CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate the c.-309C>T mutation reduces NR4A2 expression resulting in the downregulation of genes involved in the development and maintenance of the nervous system and synaptic transmission. These downregulated pathways contained genes known to be transactivated by NR4A2 and were not disrupted in idiopathic PD brain suggesting causality of the mutation.

Abstract
A 22-year-old man presented with complaints of gingival and skin lesions. Physical examination revealed the presence of two nodular lesions, one over the sternum, 3 cm in size, and another, on the right side of chin, 1 cm in size. There was another fleshy soft tissue deposit over the left lower gingiva, in the oral cavity. He had noticed these lesions ten days prior to his visit to the hospital. In addition, there was left testicular non-tender swelling which had been present for two months, but was not investigated. Fine-needle aspiration cytology from skin and gingival lesions was suggestive of metastatic deposits. Patient underwent left high orchidectomy, and histopathological examination was consistent with the diagnosis of pure choriocarcinoma. Although rare, cases of testicular neoplasms and especially choriocarcinoma of the testis leading to skin metastases have been reported, but case reports of choriocarcinoma of testis metastatic to gingiva have been reported exceptionally in the English literature. We report this unique case of a young man with pure choricarcinoma of testis with unusual gingival and skin metastases.

Abstract
Cyclophosphamide (CP) is a commonly used anti-cancer drug which causes toxicity by its reactive metabolites such as acrolein and phosphoramide mustard. In the present study modulation of toxicity caused by concomitant exposure to CP and l-buthionine-SR-sulfoximine (BSO) by fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) extract was evaluated by measuring lipid peroxidation (LPO) and anti-oxidants in urinary bladder in mice. Fenugreek, a common dietary and medicinal herb, showed protective effect not only on LPO but also on the enzymatic anti-oxidants. CP-treated animals exhibited a significant decrease in the activities of glutathione S-transferase (GST), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase (GP) and catalase (CAT) when compared to the controls. Level of reduced glutathione (GSH) was also reduced with an increase in LPO in CP-treated animals. BSO treatment depicted an additive toxic effect in CP-treated animals. Pre-treatment of herbal extract restored activities of all the enzymes and thus showed an overall protective effect on additive effect of CP and BSO. Restoration of GSH by extract treatment may play an important role in reversing CP-induced apoptosis and free radical-mediated LPO in urinary bladder. Fenugreek, known for its hypoglycemic, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activity, may be a promising protective medicinal herb for consideration in complementary therapy in cancer patients under chemotherapeutic interventions.
