In general, the three major oral functions of edentulous patients-mastication, phonation, esthetics-can be rehabilitated by the complete dentures, and both the resin based complete denture and the metal based complete denture are commonly used by many clinicians today. For the sake of many advantages such as the excellent thermal conductivity, low volumetric change, high strength, low risk of fracture and the better patient's adaptation, the metal based complete dentures are indicated to the several cases. But, there are common failures of these type of dentures mainly by the fracture or the debonding between the resin structures and the metal frameworks which is caused by the discrepancies by the discrepancies of the flexural strength and the coefficient of thermal expansion. This is aggravated by the water contamination of the interface when exposed to the oral environment and results in the failure of complete denture treatment. So, the purpose of this study is to compare the bond strength and the fracture patterns of the gold alloy based and the Co-Cr alloy based complete dentures using the PMMA resins and the 4-META adhesive resins. The results of this study were as follows. 1. Both to th PMMA resin and the 4-META resin, the flexural bond strength of gold alloy is lower than that of Co-Cr alloy(p<0.05). 2. To the Co-Cr alloy, the bond strength of the 4-META resin is significantly higher tan that of PMMA resin(P<0.05). 3. The flexural strength of the group with the mechanical retention form is significantly higher than that of the group without retention form(P<0.05). 4. Comparing with the other groups, the fracture patterns of the group 3 are quite different from the group 1, 2, 5.

To investigate recovery, growth, and activity of hepatocyte in primary culture after cell separation, the authors followed up the marker enzyme activities of golgi complex, mitochondria and biologic membrane. Thiamine pyrophosphatase, the marker enzyme of golgi complex, activity approached the level of long term culture at 4th day. Succinate dehydrogenase, the marker enzyme of mitochondria, activity decreased with time, then it maintained constant level after 4th day. Alkaline phosphatase, the marker enzyme of biological membrane, activity increased from 3rd day, and after 5th day it showed strong reaction. These data suggested that hepatocytes were stabilized and recovered normal activity 4 day after cell separation. But the main secretory function was speculated to be reduced in culture.

A case of complete loss of penile skin treated with scrotal skin graft was presented in a 26 year old male. This case was noted to be a complete loss of penile skin which was developed under local anesthesia with formalin 30 cc during circumcision. The implantation of the penis in the scrotum was performed by the scrotal tunnel method. Complete logs of penile skin was restored by implanting the denuded surface under the subcutaneous tissue of the scrotum.

Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis, an uncommon chronic inflammatory renal disorder of middle-aged women, is rarely seen in childhood. A 10 year-old boy with focal type of this disease in upper and lower pole was experienced. Patient had a intermittent fever and right flank pain without palpable mass. The blood analysis only revealed ESR increase but no anemia, no leukocytosis. There was no history or signs of urinary tract infection or calculi. The urine analysis and culture showed nothing abnormal. An intravenous pyelogram, ultrasonogram, abdominal CT and selective renal arteriography only demonstrated a non functioning upper pole of right kidney. During operation, a gross finding and frozen section strongly showed xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis and diagnosis was made on histological examination, After nephrectomy, there had been no evidence of disease recurrence during 2 years follow-up period.
