Pyelocaliceal diverticulum is a well recognized uncommon entity, usually noted incidentally on excretory urography by lack of clinical symptoms, About 500 cases had been reported with similar entity till 1975. We report 6 cases of stone-containing pyelocaliceal diverticula and additional one case and the literature has been reviewed briefly.

Diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis (DNH) is a rare entity with the distinctive features of multiple hemangiomas of the skin and internal organs, which may result in a fatal outcome if wide-spread involvement of the internal organs. We report a case of DNH with cutaneous and hepatic involvement. The significant regression in the vascular lesions was achieved with systemic corticosteroid therapy.

Repairing large incisional hernia with abdominal wall reconstruction is a technically challenging problem for surgeons. We report our experience of large midline incisional hernia which was repaired successfully with components separation technique. A patient with incisional hernia, 35 x 20 cm in size, underwent operation following standard components separation technique. The aponeurosis of the external abdominal oblique muscle was longitudinally transected from the rectus sheath, and the external abdominal oblique muscle was separated from the internal abdominal oblique muscle. With further separation of the posterior rectus sheath from the rectus abdominis muscle, closure of the abdominal wall was attained without tension. The post-operative course was uneventful with minor wound seroma. The patient discharged safely, and no further complication in terms of recurrence and wound problem has occurred. Components separation technique could be a possible and effective treatment option for repair of large abdominal wall defect.

The author studied the mental status of 497 patients admitted in non-psychiatric wards and 42 patients diagnosed as mental disorders by DSM-III-R criteria and admitted in three general hospitals located in Pusan city, using NADS and PSCS. The assessment were obtained from October, 1991 to March, 1992 and the results as follows: The mean±SD of Anxiety-Depression scores were 34.4±10.4 in non-psychiatric patients and 50.0±18.3 in psychiatric patients. The psychiatric group had significantly higher scores than non-psychiatric group. The mean±SD of Psychosis scores were 3.9±4.4 in non-psychiatric patients and 20.3±9.8 in psychiatric patients. The psychiatric group had significantly higher scores than non-psychiatric group. In the psychosocial factors, dissatisfaction in family atmosphere and acquaintanceship with parents (P<0.001, relatively), pessimistic in future, present and past self-images (P<0.001, relatively), and yes in previous psychiatric treatment of admission (p<0.01, relatively) had common significant relationships to Anxiety-Depression and Psychosis scores. There were correlationships between NADS scores and PSCS scores (γ=0.74), past and present self-images (γ=0.45), present and future self images (γ=0.45), past and future self-images (γ=0.34) and family atmosphere and acquaintanceship with parents (γ=0.49) The regression analysis revealed that present self-image, acquaintanceship with parents, future self-image, past self-image, and family atmosphere, in order of significance were to be descriptive or predicable variances for Anxiety-Depression status. The discriminant analysis according to Anxiety-Depression scores showed that the cases of incorrect classification were 22 for non-psychiatric patient group and 2 for psychiatric patient group.
