A 30 years old male suffering from renal pain, hematuria and frequency of urination, was found to have horseshoe kidney with renal tuberculosis. The diagnosis was made through urinalysis, intra-venous pyelography and retrograde pyelography. This is a report of the good results gained by partial nephrectomy and antituberculous chemotherapy. It was compared with several literary reviews.

The positive binding activity of lectin, peanut agglutinin (PNA), against the mucinous malignancies of the ovary was studied in order to clarify biologic differences among those lesions using immunoperoxidase method (ABC). A total of 23 cases were included in this study and they were classified as 10 cases of mucinous cystadenocarcinoma, 9 mucinous tumors of borderline malignancy and 4 pseudomyxoma peritonei, histologically. Nine of 10 cystadenocarcinomas and all cases of pseuomyxoma peritonei showed more than moderate degree of positive binding activity (>2+) with PNA in the neoplastic epithelial cells. In the cases of borderline malignancy, only 3 of 9 revealed as much similar binding pattern with PNA as cystadenocarcinoma group, in contrast, minimal degree of positivity (1+) was noted in the remainder. These findings may suggest heterogeneity in the biochemical characteristics among the cases of borderline lesion. And it is proposed that the higher PNA binding cases in ovarian mucinous borderline malignancy require extensive sampling by multiple sections and further careful follow-up study.
Follow-Up Studies

In order to grasp the real status of male sterility of the Koreans, clinical observation, semen analysis, and testicular biopsy were conducted on 257 cases. the study was performed in the Department of Urology, Kyungpook National University School of Medicine during the period from April 1963 to March 1968 for5 years. 1) The 257 cases complained of sterility occupied 4.3% of the total number of outpatients, 5927. visited during the observation period. 2) The age range of the cases applied was from 55, maximum, to 21. minimum, with the category of 26 to 35 occupying 2/3 of the whole. 3) The majority of the cases were in the 2nd to 5th year of their marriages 10.8%. 4) Cities were found to produce more of such cases than the country. and no specific relationship was revealed to be connected with patient's occupations. 5) Tuberculous diseases weremore prevalent in the past histories of those involved, and gonorrhea and mumps showed a decreasing tendency. 6) 141 cases (55.2%) produced 2 to 4ml of semen amount and 40 cases, less than 1.0ml. 7) 90 cases (35.O%) were found have azoospermia and 122 cases (47.7%) had more than 50 X 10(6) sperms, 8) 106 cases (63.5%) had higher than 60% of active sperm while 16 cases showed to have less than 20%. 9) Findings of testicular biopsies were conducted on 35 cases with azoospermia of oligospermia: Germinal cell aplasia-17 cases (48.6%); spermatogenic arrest-10 cases (28.6%); hypospermatogenesis-6 cases (17.1%); normal-2 cases.

Morphological characteristics of human embryos of Carnegie stage 17 were described. The crown rump length of these embryos were 11.7-13.6mm. These embryos were characterized externally by ventrally directed nasal pits, 6 distinct auricular hillocks, finger rays in the hand plate, digital plate at the lower limb bud, herniation of a part of midgut through umbilical cord, and internally by the partial fusion of ventral and dorsal pancreas, prominent nasal sac which is not open to primitive oral cavity, formation of segmental and some subsegmental bronchial buds, branching of metanephrotic pelvis, crescent-shaped lens cavity, and imminent semicircular ducts.

Duodenal gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are uncommon and a relatively small subset of GISTs whose optimal surgical procedure has not been well defined. Because submucosal spread and local lymph node involvement is infrequent in GISTs, wide margins with routine lymph node dissection may not be required. Various techniques of limited resection for duodenal GISTs have been described depending on the site and the size of the tumors. In this study, we report two cases of GIST involving the third and fourth portion of the duodenum successfully treated by segmental duodenectomy with end-to-end duodenojejunostomy. This technique should be considered as a treatment option for GIST located at the third and fourth portion of the duodenum.
