Korean Journal of Urology 1969;10(4):155-163
A clinical observation was made on the Injuries of Genito-Urinary Tract of the in-patient in the Department of Urology, Seoul National University Hospital during the period from January, 1968 to September, 1969. The results are as follows. 1) Of 585 cases hospitalized, 69 cases were injury of genitourinary tract, giving a rate of 11.8%. Automobile accident was the most frequent cause of the injury (30.1%) and the next was kick or blow, fall from a height etc. 2) The urethra was involved in injuries in 39.1%. the kidney in 27.6%. the bladder in 14.5% the external genitalia in 10.1% and the ureter in 8.7%. Ureteral injury was all iatrogenic 3) The age ranged from 8 years to 68 years, the most prevalent in the third decade giving a rate of 32.0% and the next in the fourth decade giving a rate of 24.7%. The sex ratio, male to female, was 5:1. 4) Operation was performed only in 3 of I9 renal injuries and in 9 of 10 bladder injuries. Eleven of 27 urethral injuries were accompanied with pelvic bone fracture. No death was observed in this study.

Carotid endarterectomy is superior to medical treatment in preventing secondary stroke in patients with symptomatic high grade carotid stenosis. Transluminal angioplasty is a promising procedure as an alternative treatment for these patients. We report two cases of carotid angioplasty with Palmaz-Schatz stent in patients with carotid artery occlusive disease. One patient presented with decreased right visual acuity because of retinal arterial embolism. The angiogram demonstrated a discrete tight stenosis of right internal carotid artery carotid stenting with Palmaz-Schatz coronary stent was performed without any significant complications. The other patient presented with recurrent episodes of cerebral infarction, for which he had undergone left carotid erdarterectomy 3-years ago. The carotid angiogram demonstrated tight stenoses of both internal carotid arteries. Carotid artery stenting was performed at left and right internal carotid arteries without any complications. We suggest that stenting may be an effective and safe therapeutic alternative to surgical treatment in some selected patients with carotid artery occlusive disease.

The measurement of blood pressure in neonates is an important diagnostic procedure. But the measurement of blood pressure has not been performed routinely because of difficulty in measuring blood pressure and variable normal range according to measuring apparatus. Recently some accurate and convenient apparatus of measuring blood pressure have been introduced in neonatal care, so the reference values of neonatal blood pressure may be obtainable. The authors measured systolic and diastolic blood pressure using a noninvasive oscillometric monitor instrument on 1,3,6,12,24,48,72 hours of life in 200 neonates born at Eulji General Hospital, Taejon. And we analysed the results according to birth weight, gestational age, delivery type, sex, meconium stain, preeclampsia and hypocalcemia. The following results were obtained: 1) On the 1st day of life, systolic and diastolic blood pressure were 65.611.7 mmHg and 36.7+/-5.8 mmHg in the normal birth weight neonates, and 56.2+/-6.7 mmHg and 34.14.2 mmHg in the low birth weight neonates, respectively. So the blood pressure of normal birth weight neonates were higher than that of low birth weight neonates. 2) On the 1st day of life, systolic and diastolic blood pressure were 65.5+/-11.8 mmHg and 36.6+/-5.8 mmHg in the fullterm neonates, and 57.6+/-5.2 mmHg and 35.6+/-3.8 mmHg in the preterm neonates, respectively. So the blood pressure of full term neonates were higher than that of preterm neonates. 3) The difference of blood pressure in analysis according to birth weight were wider than that according to gestational age. 4) The blood pressure of neonates were lowest on the 3 hours of life and increased gradually during 72 hours of life. 5) The blood pressure of neonates did not show any significant difference in analysis according to sex. delivery type, Meconium stain, preeclampsia, and hypocalcemia.

Regular hemodialysis has been established as a way of treatment for end stage renal failure. In adults, hemodialysis 5 hours each time, three times weekly with one square meter hemodialyzer is now widely accepted as a standard, and there are many reports on long term follow up studies. Quite a large difference are present, however, in our community mainly originated from patient's poor compliance in frequent dialysis with short interdialysis interval. The author analyzed 200 cases of chronic renal failure who have received hemodialysis treatments during the 5 year period from July 1976 to June 1981 at the hemodialysis unit of the hanyang University Hospital and the following results are obtained; 1. Actual one year survival rate was much higher in thrice(87.1%) than one(35.1%) or twice(54.1%) weekly dialysis. 2. Long term(more than 6 months) complications were also more frequent in once(85.7%) or twice(70.2%) weekly treatments than in thrice(22.2%). The predominant complications were congestive heart failure, pericarditis, and infections. 3. Those who recieved three times weekly dialysis had better rehabilitation grades than the patients groups of twice or once weekly treatment. 4. Of peridialysis distressful symptoms, nausea, vomiting dizziness were less frequent in the group three times a week dialysis. In contrast, headache, hypotension, muscle cramps, and weakness were not significantly related with frequency of hemodialysis. 5. Those who voided a large amount of urine output had better survival and less frequent requirement of blood transfusions. 6. Main causes of death were due to patient poor compliance, hyperkalemia and cerebrovascular acidents. 7. Economic problems were the major cause of dialysis interruption.

We present a patient who developed a pseudolymphoma after ear piercing. A patch test showed gold sensitivity. Therefore, long standing dermal exposure to gold from a pierced-type earring might have produced the patient's disease. This patient did not respond to an intralesional steroid injection and was finally treated with a complete resection of the lesion. It is proposed that every patient with a hyperplastic lesion in the ear lobe should be taken a biopsy in order to rule out the possibility of a pseudolymphoma. When a pseudolymphoma develops in the ear lobe, a complete surgical excision could be the treatment of choice, especially for the prevention of recurrence.

Since 1957 clinical studies and animal experiments have reported that a solution of hydroxyethyl starch in saline (HES) was effective as a plasma expander. We have studied hydroxyethyl starch as compared to dextran after experimental bleeding. Thirteen dogs averaging 10 kg body weight were utilized in this study. Without premedicants anesthesia was induced with intravenous thiopenthal sodium and subsequently endotracheal intubation was performed. Respiration was controlled with a Harvard Pump, setting the respiratory rate at 15 times a minute and tidal volume at 20 ml/kg. Arterial blood pressure, central venous pressure and EKG lead II were recorded by polygraph. RIHSA was used for the measurement of plasma volume and extracellular volume. Experimental bleeding was equalled 25ml/kg for 15 minutes and the same amount of plasma expander (HES or Dextran) was infused 30 minutes after bleeding. The results were as follows: 1. Blood pressure was markedly decreased after experimental bleeding, but on administration of HES or Dextran it returned to nomal values. In the control group blood pressure persisted at about 90 mmHg. Central venous pressure after the administration of HES or Dextran also recovered to the level before bleeding. Pulse rate was slightly decreased after infusion of plasma expanders. 2. The values of hemoglobin and hematocrit were reduced about 40 percent after infusion of HES or Dextran. 3. Plasma volume was increased about 130 percent and blood volume was increased about 110 percent immediatly after infusion of HES or Dextran. A significant change in ECF could not be observed. 4. A persistent dilutional acidosis after infusion of HES or Dextran was not found. 5. In the HES or Dextran groups osmotic diuresis was observed. In the results of our experimental study no significant differences between HES and Dextran were observed, and it is thought that HES is safe and useful as a plasma expander.
