An ABO discrepancy was encountered in a 29-year-old woman with a pregnancy of 36 weeks. The patient's red cell was typed as group O and her serum had only anti-A antibody. Absence of B antigen on patient's RBC was confirmed by adsorption-elution test, B substance was not demonstrated in the saliva and serum. B-transferase activity was not detected in the serum. Patient's serum Ig level was within normal range. The patient's father and son had normal O phenotype and no additional abnormalities were detected among the family members studied.

Clinical and statistical observation was made on outpatients, inpatients and operations in Urology Department of the University of Kyoung Pook during the period from Jan. 1958 to Dec. 1960 and the results obtained were as follows: I) Clincal Statistics on Outpatients: 1) Total out-patients were 1.151 cases of which total. 1,211 were males and 240 were female. and the male to female ratio was 5:1.2) The period of outpatient attendance was peak from May to August.3) According to age grouping, the maximum attendance was from 21-3O years group, next 31-40 group then 11-20 group, and 21-30 years group formed 1/3 of total patients.4) The most frequent diseases were tuberculosis of urinary tract in 9.8% showing annual decrease according to number and percentage, cystitis in 6.5%, urolithiasis, hydrocele and prostatic tumor which showed annual increase.5) Stones of kidney and bladder showed slight increase.6) Neurosis showed annual increase. II) Clincal Statistics on Inpatients: The inpatients during 3 years were 151 cases, and this total comprised 10.6% of total outpatients.1) The patients admitted comprised 9.8% of male and 15% of female to total outpatients, and the male to female ratio was 3.3:1) The most frequent diseases were renal tuberculosis, urolithiasis, tuberculous epididymitis, hydrocele and urethral stricture3) Stones of kidney and bladder showed annual increase but ureteral stones showed no change.4) The patients admitted to hospital comprised the following percentage of the total attending as outpatients with the diseases indicated: stones of kidney and ureter in 82.6%, bladder tumor in 79.2%, kidney tumor in 83.3%, urethral stricture in 80% and renal tuberculosis in 40%.5) The number of admitted patient has gradually increased year by year. III) Clincal Statistics on Operations: The cases of total operation were 115 during 3 years and the cases of operation formed 2/5 of all cases in 1960 and nephrectomy was peak according to number and percentage showing annual decrease while uretero-ileo-cystoplasty. cystolithotomy and plastic surgery of urethra showed annual increase.

Traditionally, total parenteral nutrition(TPN) has been used when patients with hypaemesis gravidarum failed to respond to conservative management, but now many physicians attempt to enteral feeding via nasogastric tube because TPN is expensive and has many complications. Recently, we experienced 2 cases of hyperemesis gravidarum successfully managed by enteral feeding via nasogastric tube, therefore we think that this method may be carefully considered to the patients with hyperemesis gravidarum failed to respond to conservative management. So we report them with brief review of the literatures.

OBJECTIVE: Mean weight gains, standard deviations were calculated for each gestational months and the 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles were determined. And the influence of prepregnancy body mass index and/or parity on monthly weight gain was investigated. METHODS: We analyzed the monthly weight gain data from 876 women who had healthy sigleton term pregnancy in Han-il Hospital(Jul 2001-Jun 2002). Data were categorized in three groups according to the prepregnancy body mass index. RESULTS: The monthly weight gain table has been determined and 'Sigmoid(S) shaped' monthly weight gain curve was presented. Primipara and multipara have less weight gain than nullipara in the 5th and the 7th-11th months. Monthly weight gains adjusted for parity and age were significantly different among prepregnancy body mass index groups from the 4th month. CONCLUSIONS: More careful prenatal care according to the monthly weight gain-gestational month tables is needed to prevent a lot of complications which may be associated with abnormal weight gain during pregnancy.
