A retrospective morphological study was conducted on 1677 lymph nodes which were removed surgically under the diagnosis of gastric carcinoma, breast carcinoma, colonic carcinoma, chronic gastric ulcer, and superficial lymph nodes nuder the diagnosis of reactive follicular hyperplasia at Chosun University Hospital during a period of 5 years from 1980 to 1984. The hematoxylin and eosin stained sections were examined to evaluate for any vascular changes. In selected cases further levels were prepared from the paraffin blocks for Gomori's reticulin stain. The vascular abnormalities were divided into 3 groups, such as hemangiomatoid, pan-nodal vasodilatation and miscellaneous types. The miscellaneous type included the proliferation of smooth muscle which encircled numerous small hilar arteries and veins. The results obtained were as follows: 1) The hemangiomatoid lesions were localized lesions which appeared to be associated with local malignancy, but infrequent in incidence. 2) A more frequent vascular abnormality was pan-nodal vasodilatation, which tend to affect many nodes in a single group and is relatively associated with chronic gastric ulcer. 3) Miscellaneous lesion was nonspecific and appeared both local malignancy and chronic inflammation. 4) All three vascular reactions were somewhat more frequent in female than male.

Various renal functions were studied in 45 young Koreans, 41 males and 4 females. The glomerular filtration rate, the renal plasma and blood flows and the filtration fraction were comparable to those in the occidental. The renal diluting capacity, as judged by the value of positive free water clearance (CH2O), was also comparable to that in the occidental. However, the renal concentrating ability, as judged by values of both the maximum urine osmolality induced by pitressin injection or during dehydration and the maximum negative free water clearance (TcmH2O) during mannitol diuresis, was somewhat low in the Korean. The tubular reabsorptive capacity of glucose (TmG) Was significantly low in the Korean while the tubular secretory capacity of PAH (TmPAH) was not altered. The urea clearance and its ratio with the inulin clearance were generally low. Moreover, the normal osmolar composition of urine indicated that urea is responsible for only 20 to 30%, while salt accounts for nearly 2/3 of the total urine osmolality. In view of the fact that the Korean is chronically maintained on a low or poor protein diet, these results are discussed in the light of this peculiar dietary habit of the Korean. Although the reduction of both the renal concentrating ability and the urea clearance could be reasonably attributed to a low protein intake, the observed low value of Tmc could not be explained thus at present.
