Clinical and statistical observation was made on 67 inpatient with renal tuberculosis in the department of urology, Hanil hospital, seen during the period from 1962 to 1972. These patients stand for 9.0% of the in-patients with male to female ratio 52. 2%/47. 8%. Age distribution showed that 65. 6% of the cases were in 21 to 40 years of age. Laterlization of the lesion showed right to left ratio of 46.3% to 43.3% and bilateral in 10.4%. Of 50 cases, 32% admitted the hospital in 1-6 months period after onset of symptoms, and 30% in 6 months-1 year period, and 4% after 5 years. The most frequent subjective complaints was frequency 70%, and hematuria 66%, dull ache in flank 60%, painful urination 54%, suprapubic pain 46% in order of their frequency. In 76% of cases, past history or present illness of tuberculosis was noted, of which 44% had pulmonary tuberculosis and 16% pleurisy. By acid-fast stain of urine, tubercle bacilli were demonstrated in 70% of cases. Of blood nitrogen level of 17 patients, over 50% of cases showed normal level, and the highest level was shown by a bilateral renal tuberculosis case. Functional classification of intravenous pyelograms of 43 kidneys revealed delayed visualization 37 2%, normal visualization 32.6% and non-visualization 30. 2%. The classification based on Braasch and Emmett revealed absence of visualization in 30.2%, delayed visualization 37. 2%, poor visualization with one or two 'glob' 27.9%, caliectasis 20.9%. Nephrectomy was performed in 57% of in-patients. Fifteen nephrectomized specimens disclosed diffuse nodular or sclerotic form in 100%, ulcerative type 73. 3%, caseocavernous type 60, 0%, calcification 6.7% and pyonephrotic type in 13.3%.

Objectives: The purpose of study is to evaluate serial MR imaging of myocardial infarction using non-surgical model of myocardial infarction after percutaneous transcatheter coronary arterial embolization in dogs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We evaluated serial pre- and post-contrast MR images with Gd-DTPA (gadolinium-diethylenetriamine-pentaacetic acid) of heart of the eleven mongrel dogs (immediate group (n=3), one week group (n=3), three weeks group (n=5)) after making non-surgically induced myocardial infarction. We confirmed the infarct with TTC staining and microscopically. The location and extents of the myocardial infarction were correlated. RESULTS: A total of 24 MR images were archived; 11 images of the immediate post-embolic period, 8 images of one-week follow-up, and five of 3-week follow-up images. Comparing with the signal intensity of normal myocardium, immediate post-embolic MR images showed low or iso signal intensities (SI) of the infarct area on T1-weighted images (T1WI) and high SI on T2-weighted images (T2WI). No contrast enhancement with Gd-DTPA was made in all cases of the immediate post-embolic MRI. One-week and 3-week follow-up MR images showed low or iso SI on T1WI and slight high or iso SI on T2WI. Contrast enhancement images in both one-week and 3-week follow-up MRI showed denser enhancement of infarct area in one-week follow-up. The myocardial wall thinning was seen in 5 of eight dogs after one week and in 3 of five after 3 weeks. CONCLUSION: In non-surgical animal models of myocardial infarction, MR images showed low or iso SI on T1WI, and high SI on T2WI in various stages, and contrast enhancement was maximum after one week and gradual decrease to 3 weeks. The myocardial wall thinning was seen in one-to 3-week follow-up MR images.

In order to establish the predicted normal values of the systolic time intervals the duration of the systolic time intervals measured from simultaneous recordings of the electrocardiogram, the phonocardiogram and the carotid pulse tracing. The subjects studied were 160 healthy males and 160 females. The mean ages of males and females were 29 and 31 years old, respectively. The transformation period was not closely related to heart rate, and its mean values for males and females were 58 and 56 msec., respectively, and the mean for males and females combined was 57 msec. The remainder of the systolic time intervals, however, showed a significant linear and inverse relation to heart rate. Thus, based upon these data regression equations for the prediction of the normal values of electromechanical systole, left ventricular ejection time, mechinical systole, precjection period andisovolumiccontraction time for males, females, and males and females combined were obtained.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to survey the health behaviors related to reproductive health, reproductive health history, and sexual behaviors of college students in local areas. METHOD: With a survey design, 792 college students from C and D areas were recruited to assess health behaviors such as smoking and alcohol drinking, as well as history of reproductive health and sexual behaviors. The data were collected by a self-administered questionnaire from November to December, 2007. RESULT: Mean age of the students was 20.8(SD=1.96) and gender distribution was 29.2% for male and 70.8% for female. Unhealthy behaviors were alcohol drinking, smoking, excessive weight loss, and irregular exercise; unsafe sex practices were experience of sexual intercourse with multiple sex partners and history of sexually transmitted disease (STD). Male students had more alcohol drinking (p=.04), smoking(p<.001), excessive weight loss(p=.01), experience of sexual intercourse with multiple sex partners(p<.001), history of STD(p=.025) compared to females. On the other hands, female students participated in regular exercise less than males(p<.001). CONCLUSION: College students seem to perform unhealthy behaviors related to reproductive health and less effective way of safe sex practices. Therefore, a planned education program for reproductive health promotion operated by college level is needed to assess and improve the level of reproductive health in college students.
