Objective To observe the changes of serum anti-mttllerian hormone (AMH) level in women with premature ovarian fail-ure (POF) and its clinical significance. Methods Fasting serum levels of AMH in 25 POF patients were measured with enzyme-linked im-mtmosorbent assay (ELISA). Twenty healthy women matched for age and body mass index (BMI) were chosen as controls. Results The serum AMH level in POF group was (1.1±0.1) pmol/L, which was significantly lower than that of control group(P < 0.01). The serum AMH levels in 20 patients of POF group were undetectable. The other 5 patients were treated with artificial cycle at first, and then ovulated with hMG/HCG.2 patients had ovulation and 1 patient was pregnant. Conclusion The serum AMH level in POF patients was significantly decreased, and the measure for serum AMH had some significance for POF diagnosis and treatment.

[Objective]To observe radiographic morphology of femoral head at skeletal maturity of the Salter innominate osteotomy for treatment of patients with Legg-Perthes disease and evaluate sphericity of the femoral head and congruity of the hip.Based on system review of literatures,thes attempted to determine the indications and methods of treatment.[Method]Sixteen patients of Legg-Perthes disease were treated by Salter innominate osteotomy before 1994.The mean age of patients was six years and seven months at operation.Of them,only were 12 patients followed up 10 years and ten months avergely and mean ages of patients were 17 years and 2 months at last follow-up.Growth of plate of femoral head and Y cartilage of acetabulum was closed,indicating skeletal maturity.[Result]According to Stulberg classification of outcome,there were four cases in Stulberg class Ⅰ and six patient in class Ⅱ and one patient in class Ⅲ and one patients in class Ⅳ and no case in class Ⅴ.Lower limb of shortening was averagely 1.5 cm(ranged 0.8~2.0 cm)and the range of motion of hips was almost normal and no abnormal gait was observed.[Conclusion]The Salter innominate osteotomy could keep sphericity of the femoral head and congruity with acetabulum of the hip for children with Legg-Perthes disease and also could be in aid of preventing premature arthritis of hip.

Objective To report the experience in managing complex posterior urethral obliteration with dartos island skin flap. Methods 32 patients with complex posterior urethral obliteration were treated with dartos island skin flap substitution urethroplasty.Partial resection of the inferior pubic synphysis was needed to facilitate high proximal placement of the flap. Results The outcome was excellent in 31 (97%).Including subsequent procedures,the over all 3 months～7 years fllowup investigations were carried out in 27 patients.Urinary flow rates of more than 15 ml/s (for adults) and 8 ml (for children) could be achieved in 25 of 27 patients.Two patients with urinary flow decreased required further reconstruction.The hairy pouch formed within scrotal skin flap was noted in two patients.
