A Clinical observation was made on 70 cases of renal diseases, out patients and admitted to the department of Urology, Hanyang University Hospital during the period from January, 1982 to August, 1983. The following results were obtained: 1. The sex ratio was 1.3:1 with 39 male and 31 female, and 67.1% of the cases were in the age group of 41-70. 2. Obstructive diseases was the most common renal diseases and occurred in 32.8%. 3. On the ultrasonic pattern of renal diseases, solid echo-pattern were observed in 13 cases, cystic echo-free pattern in 34 cases, complex echo-pattern in 10 cases, absence of kidney in 3 cases and normal echo-pattern in 10 cases. 4. Secondary diagnostic ultrasound was the most common useful method of detecting nonvisualized kidney on IVP and hydronephrosis was the most common cause of unilateral renal nonvisualization, giving rate of 42.8%. 5. On the ultrasonic pattern of 17 cases in renal tumors, solid echo-pattern were observed in 11 cases (64.7%), complex echo-pattern in 6 cases (35.3%) and cystic echo-free pattern were not observed. 6. Diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonographic evaluation in renal diseases was 93%.

A clinical survey was made on 90 cases of bladder tumor admitted to the Department of Urology. Hanyang University Hospital during the period from May, 1972 to April, 1982. The following results were obtained: 1. During the period, 2,679 patients were hospitalized, there were 90 cases of bladder tumor giving a rate of 3.4%. 2. The sex ratio was 5:1 with 75 male and 15 female, and 71.1% of the cases were in the age group of 41-70. 3. Hematuria was the most common symptom and occurred in 83.3%. 4. 70% of the cases visited the hospital within 1 year after the occurrence of the initial symptom. 5. Among 76 cases in which IVP was performed, 68.4% of the cases revealed normal upper urinary tract, and filling defect in the bladder were observed in 60.5% of the cases. 6. In the majority of case the tumor was located on the inside of the lateral wall of the bladder (67.8%) 64.4% of all cases had multiple lesions. 7. On pathological examination, 94.4% were transitional cell carcinomas and Grade II was the most frequent finding. 8. Initial treatment was given for 65 of the 90 cases of bladder tumor. TUR operation were performed in 9 cases, open resection and electrofulguration in 10 cases, partial cystectomy in 16 cases and total cystectomy with urinary diversion in 7 cases. Operation with chemotherapy or radiation therapy were performed in 17 cases, intravesical chemotherapy and radiation therapy were used in 2 cages each and systemic chemotherapy and radiation with chemotherapy were uses in 1 case each. 9. Average duration of follow up was about 15.8 months. 10. First recurrence percentage was 42.8.

This study observed the changes of the glycogen content in extensor digitorum and soleus by electrical stimulation on the sciatic nerve with various frequencies, and the result were compared with those of treadmill running exercise. The results are summarized as follows ; The glycogen content of extensor digitorum longus was greater than that of the soleus in the normal group, and the reducing amount of glycogen content of extensor digitorum longus was greater than that of the soleus by overnight fasting. As the frepuency of electrical stimulation was increased by 2, 5 and 10Hz., the glycogen content of the extensor digitorum longus was slightly reduced or changed minimally. As the loading period of clectrical stimulation was increased to 30 and 90minutes, the glycogen content of extensor digitorum longus was much reduced from early stage, and that of the soleus was the same tendency as the frepuency increased. The glycogen content of the extensor digitorum longus was proportionally reduced by treadmill running excercise, and that of the soleus was much reduced from the early stage. In summary, based on the experimental evidence of this investigation, it showed the different physio-chemical responses of th fast and slow twitch muscle fibers by electrical stimulation, and also not the equal responses of muscle fibers by electrical stimulation and treadmill running exercise.

We describe the case of a 45-year-old woman who had self-regressing livedo reticularis on the lower extremities. Examination of a biopsy specimen from the mottled area revealed myxomatous emboli in the deep dermal arterioles. Echocardiography showed a myxoma in the left atrium. After the tumor was surgically excised, the patient had no further evidence of the disorders during the 3-year period of follow-up. Livedo reticularis caused by an peripheral arterial embolism, which in turn was caused by the tumor fragments in our patient with left atrial myxoma, is considered to be unusual.

Thirty three cases of metastatic ovarian carcinoma were analysed cilincopathologically. The patient's age ranged from 20 to 68 years, the average being 44.3. Most ovarian tumors were bilateral and asymmertically enlarged, firm and occsaionally multicystic. Histologic examination revealed adenocarcinoma in 31 cases, of which Krukenberg tumors in 14; squamous cell carcinoma in 2. The most common primary site was gasrtointestinal(75.8%), followed by genital, breast and gallbaldder. Most Krukenberg tumors were originated from poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of stomach. The ovarian and primary carcinomas were synchronously diagnosed in 15 cases, while in 3 cases the primary carcinoma was not round until the ovarian tumor had been removed.
