Endometriosis in the abdominal wall following Cesarean section is one of the very rare condition among the extrapelvic endometriosis. Although benign, endometriosis possesses the unique ability to invade tissue and to disseminate or metastasize by hematogeneous, lymphatic route, or direct implantation. We reported the case with brief review of the literature.

Because there is difficulty in the suture of renal pelvis, extended pyelolithotomy for the renal or pelvic calculi gives often complication such as urine leakage or infection, which result in the fibrosis and stricture of the region. Seven cases of renal stones are treated with new method using 8F Trumpet-shaped Nelaton Catheter. The proximal portion of the Nelaton Catheter inserted into the renal pelvis through the incised opening is made to arrive the lumen of the urinary bladder and the Trumpet-shaped distal portion is made to fix with the suture of the renal pelvis and capsules. After five to seven days, the catheter is removed by cystoscopic manipulation. It seems that the method is easy and feasible to decrease the complication of the extended pyelolithotomy for renal calculi.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of passive or active application of primer and coat times of bond on the shear bond strength when a self-etching primer adhesive (Clearfil SE Bond) was applied to enamel surface. Crowns of sixteen human molars were selected. Buccal and lingual enamels of crowns were partially exposed and slabs of 1.2 mm thick were made. They were divided into one of four equal groups (n = 8). Group 1: passive application of Primer and 1 coat of Bond, Group 2: active application of Primer and 1 coat of Bond, Group 3: passive application of Primer and 2 coats of Bond, Group 4: active application of Primer and 2 coats of Bond. Clearfil AP-X was bonded to enamel suface of each group using Tygon tubes. The bonded specimens were subjected to microshear bond strength (uSBS) testing with a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. The results of this study were as follows; 1. The uSBS of Group 1 was the lowest among groups and the uSBS of Group 4 was the highest. 2. There was not statistically significant interaction between enamel uSBS by application method of Primer and coat time of Bond (p > 0.05). 3. There was not statistically significant difference between enamel uSBS by passive and active application of Primer (p > 0.05). 4. There was statistically significant difference between enamel uSBS by one- and two-coat of Bond (p < 0.05).

Adult Wilms' tumor is rare unlike its pediatric counterpart. Because there is no specific radiologic findings of adult Wilms' tumor it is very difficult to diagnose the adult Wilms' tumor preoperatively and the final diagnosis is usually established with surgery. We report a case of Wilms' tumor in 26 years old postpartum woman with review of the literature.

Small cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder is very uncommon tumor and it's clinical entity is characterized by an aggressive clinical course with early metastases. We report a case of the primary small cell carcinoma of urinary bladder in a 66 year old man who was managed by partial cystectomy and combined chemotherapy using cisplatin and etoposide.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the microtensile bond strength (microTBS), failure modes and bonding interfaces of self-etching and three self-adhesive resin cements to dentin and indirect composite resin. Cylindrical composite blocks (Tescera, Bisco Inc.) were luted with resin cements (PA: Panavia F 2.0, Kuraray Medical Inc., RE: RelyX Unicem Clicker, 3M ESPE., MA: Maxem, Kerr Co., BI: BisCem, Bisco Inc.) on the prepared occlusal dentin surfaces of 20 extracted molars. After storage in distilled water for 24 h, 1.0 mm x 1.0 mm composite-dentin beams were prepared. microTBS was tested at a cross-head speed of 0.5 mm/min. Data were analyzed with one-way ANOVA and Tukey's HSD test. Dentin sides of all fractured specimens and interfaces of resin cements-dentin or resin cements-composite were examined at FE-SEM (Field Emission-Scanning Electron Microscope). In conclusion, PA and RE showed higher bond strength and closer adaptation than MA and BI when indirect composite blocks were luted to dentin using a self-etching and three self-adhesive resin cements.

Pharmacologic treatment of the detrusor hypocontractility(hyporeflexia) remains controversial issues. Clean intermittent self catheterization(CIC) alone, or combination with bethanechol chloride has been generally accepted as treatment modality. Until presently, bethanechol chloride is the only pharmacologic agent commonly used for bladder emptying without significant complication. However, the effectiveness of bethanechol seem to be episodic. The present study compared the contractile response of various pharmacologic agents including bethanechol chloride, ATP, PG E1, E2, F2-alpha on the smooth muscle strips of male rabbit bladder. In addition, effect of the gastrointestinal motility agents such as cisapride and metoclopramide on the contraction of rabbit bladder were assessed. Each bladder was divided into bladder body and bladder base for comparison of pharmacologic effects. FS at basal tension elicited a frequency dependent contraction which was greater in bladder body strips than in bladder base strips. The contractile responses to bethanechol, ATP, PG E1, E2 and PG F2-alpha were greater in bladder body than in bladder base.In the bladder body,magnitude of the contractile responses by ATP and PG F2-alpha were approximately 1/3 of those by bethanechol or FS.PG F2-alpha was consistently more potent to produce contraction than PG E1, E2. ATP induced contraction only consisted of initial phasic rise of tension. The contraction induced by PG developed slower than those caused by bethanechol. Cisapride(10uM) induced weak contractile responses comparable to those by PG E1 Metoclopramide had no contractile effects in this studies. Conclusively, differences exist in the response of the bladder body and base to FS and various pharmacologic agents. ATP, PG E2 and PG F2-alpha exhibited some notable contractile responses to the bladder body that were approximately 1/3 of those by bethanechol. Gastrointestinal motility agents were not shown to be effective in the mediation of contraction of rabbit bladder.

A case of ovarian dermoid cyst invading the posterior bladder wall with pilimiction and recurrent bladder stone was presented. Fifty-four years old female patient had a symptoms of frequency, dysuria, hematuria and pilimiction intermittently She had received cystolithotomies and litholapaxy due to recurrent bladder stones for 3 times in other hospitals Cystoscopic examination revealed elevated flat mass on the base of bladder and hairs outgrowing a from the surface of mass. Also two-large bladder stones were seen at cystoscopy. So, recurrent bladder stones caused by the hairs growing from invading dermoid cyst was diagnosed. Removal of bladder stone, partial cystectomy and left oophorectomy were performed.

A patient is described who was presented with a little finger tip sized palpable nodular mass on left calf muscle for 2 years of duration. The pathologic result of the biopsy specimen for nodular mass showed a clear cell carcinoma. The full metastatic work up demonstrated tumor in the right kidney, with no other detectable primary focus. Result of the radical nephrectomy exhibited renal cell carcinoma confined within renal parenchyme. The patient was treated with IFN-alpha-2b as adjuvant therapy and now is on close observation without the evidence of tumor recurrence.
