This study was conducted to find out an appropriate means for preventing the juvenile delinquency (JD), which is supposed to be greatly realted to family environment. The data were collected through a questionnaire survey with a means of writing by themself, to 257 middle and high school students and 309 juvenile delinquents who were in confinement. The questionnaire was consisted of 27 items of juvenile delinquencies, 15 questions about personal environment in their period of childhood, 36 questions on their home atmosphere, 25 items with regard to their parental behavior to their children in the rearing of them. The extent of delinquency was calculated by summing the numbers of experienced delinquencies of the listed items. The study subjects were divided into two groups; student group (SG) and juvenile delinquent group (JDG) and the collected data were analyzed with the extent of delinquency in each group by SPSS/PC+statistical package. The extent of JD was increased as the study subjects grew older, defective families were more common, total family income was more poor, parents' educational level was lower, personal expenses were higher and the conflicts between parents were more high in JDG as compared with of SG. The differences were statistically significant. As long as the extent of delinquency is concerned, delimquent points of JDG were significantly higher as compared with that of SG in all items except one item, below the primary school item in fathers' educational level. (In order to prevent JD in our country, it is recommended that educational level and the living standared of the lower class people should be raised, the sound families which do have less conflictsshould be established as much as possible, the present educational system which is making much conflicts between parents and their offsprings should be changed so that their given temperament would be brought up to the highest level, defective families should be reduced as much as possible and adults should not do actions that are considered not to be done by youngsters and must set a good example.)

A clinical analysis were made on 104 cases of congenital anomalies of the genitourinary tract in childhood who had been admitted to the Department of Urology, Maryknoll Hospital during the period from January, 1976 to December, 1982 and following results were obtained. 1. Among the total number of patients(1248 cases)admitted to the Urologic Department, 170cases (13.6%) were pediatric patients. 2. Among the total number of pediatric patients, 104 cases (61.2%) were congenital anomalies of genitourinary tract. 3. The ratio of male to female was 51:1. 4. Age distribution of the congenital anomalies showed higher concentration between age of 6years and 12 years. 5. The frequently involved organs of the genitourinary tract in anomalies were genitalia (77.9%), and followed by urethra (16.3%) and Kidney (3.8%) 6. The incidence of complications among the urinary tract anomalies was 4 cases (17.4%). And the most frequent complication were hydronephrosis (75%), and followed by pyelonephritis(25%) and vesicoureteral reflex (25%). 7. The most frequent anomalies according to pathological features were cryptorchism (47.5%) among the total number of genitourinary tract anomalies and other were hypospadias (15.3%), hydrocele (10.2 %), phimosis (5.9 %) in frequency of orders.

The free, full thickness skin graft urethroplasty has grown in popularity and row ranks among the best of corrective procedures for urethral stricture. This procedures was initially described by Presman and Greenfield in 1953. Herein we present a case of full thickness tube graft urethroplasty in 29-year-old male patient with anterior urethral stricture.

Renal hypoplasia is a relatively rare congenital disease. We report two cases of unilateral renal hyperplasia with review of literature.

The clinical observation on hematuria was done for outpatients who visited at the Department of Urology, Maryknoll Hospital in Busan between July, 1976 and June, 1978. The following results were obtained; 1. The total number of outpatients with hematuria was 636 cases (17.7%) 2. The ratio of asymptomatic hematuria against symptomatic hematuria was 1 to 6.4. 3. The commonest disease with asymptomatic hematuria was essential hematuria and that of symptomatic hematuria was cystitis and urethritis. 4. The commonest disease with gross hematuria against microscopic hematuria was 1 to 2. 6. Tumor of urinary tract were found in 5.8% of outpatients with hematuria. 7. Admission and suitable treatment were required in 203 cases (32%) of outpatients with hematuria.

A case of priapism who underwent corpus cavernosum-saphenous vein anastomosis is described here. The condition is not subsided by all management including sedation, heparinization, administration of enzymes, ice water enema, and local irrigation with normal saline containing heparin, but eventually cured by tire procedure of corpus cavernosum-saphenous vein anastomosis bilaterally.

Ultrasonography were performed on 52 patients with 64 cases of urologic diseases, and its significance was discussed. The results were as follows: 1. Overall diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography was 90.6% and diagnostic error was 9.4%. 2. It is not helpful to use ultrasonography as a primary screening procedure or to use it alone, but it is recommended to use ultrasonography as a supplementary measure after excretory urography. 3. Many needless renal angiographys and explorations can be avoided by performing ultrasonography prior to renal angiographys and explorations to get more accurate information. 4. Ultrasonography is known to be atraumatic, noninvasive and not harmful to human body, and it may be used safely in children and pregnant women. 5. Ultrasonography can be performed regardless of renal function and is particularly helpful in differentiating between cystic and solid masses. 6. Ultrasonography was particularly helpful in the diagnosis of non-visualization of kidney in I.V.P.
