Histologic reactions of bone and soft tissue to CFRE were explored, and biomechanical properties of both CFRE plate and stainless steel plate were tested and compared. Six achilles tendons of albino rabbits were replaced with CFRE implant after artificial rupture and serial histologic examination of neotendon and histologic response in vivo were done during 8 weeks. Proximal tibia of twelve albino rabbit was selected, subjected the tibia a single osteotomy and internal fixation with CFRE plate in six cases, and stainless steel plate in the others. And then, consequent radiographic and histologic change was observed during 8 weeks. Objectives in this paper is to provide basic data of CFRE in its biomechanical and biologic response in vivo. The results were as follows :1. Foreign body reaction and fibroblast were decreased at 7-8 weeks after operation. Early formation of collagen, which is similar to that found in the normal side, was shown. So, CFRE seems to be ideal material in the aspect of tissue tolerance among biocomaptibility factors. 2. In biomechanical test, CFRE plate is lower than stainless steel plate in flexural strength and flexural modulus. This means that CFRE plate is semirigid in nature. 3. While external callus formation is marked after fixation of CFRE, internal callus for mation is marked after fixation of stainless steel plate. In CFRE plated tibia, the resorption-cavity is much smaller than stainless steel plated, and there is some formation of woven bone beneath the plate. In conclusion, CFRE is ideal material in the aspect of its biomechanical compatibility and tissue tolerance. Further efforts on production and varying design of CFRE make it to use widely in clinical application, Such as internal fixator of fracture and temporary replacement of tendon or ligament.

Lerderkyn, a recently introduced sulfonamide, has been administrated to 11 cases in doses ranging from 1 to 3 gm daily. The compound is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and therapeutically effective plasma concentration is maintained rapidly and for many hours, following the oral administration. The diffusion of Ledrkyn into the tissue and the body fluid occurs readily and is slowly excreted through the kidney. Maintenance of effective concentration in urine for many hours results in successful treatment especially for genito-urinary tract infection. In this study, five acute gonococcal urethritis, one non-gonococcal urethritis, two acute cystitis, three chronic prostatitis have been treated with this drug in doses of 1 to 3 gm daily and very satisfactory results obtained in acute bacterial infection.

During the period from 1964 to 1958, chemical analyses of urinary calculi were performed on 88 cases treated in the Department of Urology, Seoul National University Hospital. The chemical composition of the calculi analysed is recorded in the following table.

Spontaneous Subcapsular hematoma of the kidney is relatively uncommon. Although several cases have been recorded in the literature, the diagnosis was seldom made preoperatively. Selective renal angiography provide an excellent means of diagnosing this lesion prior to surgery. Case I: A 37 years male was admitted with the right flank pain and hematuria. Excretory urogram showed moderate hydronephrosis and a cystic shadow compressing upper calices. Selective renal angiography showed strip-like curvilinear capsular density outside the nonopacifying mass. By exploration, blood clots, about 300 c. c., between renal parenchyma and renal capsule was evacuated. The cause of the hematoma is uncertain whether it is from ruptured aneurysm or due to hydronephrosis. Case II : A 54-year-old woman was hospitalized with right flank discomfortness and mild fever. Intravenous pyelogram revealed increased size of the right kidney and angiogram demonstrated the compressed and flattened renal parenchyma by a nonopacifying mass and renal capsule on the outer margin of the mass. Blood clots, about 200 c.c., inside the renal capsule which compressed renal parenchyma was evacuated.

The clinical observation were performed 66 cases of reoperation in department of Urology. Catholic Medical College during the period from August. 1968 to July, 1977. The result were as follows: 1. Of the total patients underwent reoperation were 66 cases (3.4%), which were operated previously from our department (36 cases) and another hospital(30 cases), respectively. 2. In organ distribution, the ureter were 22 cases(31. 9%), urethra 17 cases(24.7%) Kidney 10 cases (14.5%), bladder 10 cases(14.5%). 3. The title of reoperations consist of urethroplasty 15 cases(31. 3%), fistulectomy 13 cases(20. 3%), nephrectomy 7 cases(11. 1%), cutaneoureterostomy 6 cases(9. 4%), ureteral reimplantation 5 cases(7. 8%).
