The relationship between urea-splitting organism in the urine and urinary stone is well known. We have checked bacteriologic study of 28 urinary stones after surgical removal of stone and brushing, and following results were obtained. 1. Positive stone culture were 6 cases (21.4%). 2. Organisms were Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, Proteus, Serratia, Staphylococcus and Enterococcus. 3. Antibiotics sensitivity of 6 cases of infected stones were Klebsiella, proteus: 2) Amikacin, Pseudomonas: 1) Ampicilline, Serratia: 1) Cefamezine, Staphylococcus: 2) Kanamycin, Gentamycin, Enterococcus: 3) Penicilline. 1) Sensitive 2) Moderately sensitive 3) Relatively resistant. 4. The most prevalent age group of infected stone was between 40-49. 5. Ureter was the most favorable site of infected stone and multiple stone were 2 cases. 6. Positive urine culture were detected in all of 6 cases of infected stone. 7. In 4 cases of infected stone, organisms of stone culture and urine culture were identical. They were Pseudomonas, Enterococcus, Proteus, Staphylococcus. 8. In 2 cases of infected stone, organisms of stone culture and urine culture were not identical. They were Serratia, Klebsiella in stone culture and proteus, E. coli in urine culture respectively.

The cytologic examination of the urine is simple and inexpensive for the early detection, follow-up and mass screening of genitourinary tumors. Nowadays, besides voiding urine, cytologic examination, of bladder washing, pelvis irrigation, contrast material during retrograde pyelography, prostatic massage fluid increased the diagnostic accuracy. Of 99 patients who were admitted to the department of Urology, National Medical Center from March 1979 to February 1980 for detection of genitourinary tumor, 18 cases were positive. Of 18 cases, 16 cases were proved as tumor by histopathologically. Diagnostic accuracy was 50.2% and false positive 3.0 %, false negative 43.7%. Of the 15 false negative cases, Grade I, U, K were as follows 9, 4, 1. The comparative study was performed on 22 cases of bladder tumor with bladder washing and voiding urine cytology, and the diagnostic accuracy of them were as follows. Bladder washing: 86.4%, voiding urine: 58.1%.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the obstetric outcomes, the incidence of congenital malformations and chromosomal anomalies of neonates born after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) according to the origin of sperm. METHODS: A total of 103 neonates born from ICSI between January 1995 and January 2004 was included. They were divided into three groups: ejaculated (n=73), epididymal (n=17) and testicular (n=13) groups. We compared obstetric outcomes such as pregnancy rates, preterm birth rates, abortion rates, multiple pregnancy rates, gestational age at birth, birth-weight, and the incidence of congenital malformations and chromosomal anomalies. RESULTS: There were no differences among the three groups in terms of pregnancy rates, preterm birth rates, abortion rates, multiple pregnancy rates, gestational age at birth and birth-weight. There were no differences in the incidence of low birth-weight babies and very low birth-weight babies. Major malformations were observed in two cases of ejaculatory group (2.7%) and one of testicular group (7.7%). Major malformations included two gastrointestinal malformations and one cleft lip. Minor malformations were observed in three cases of ejaculatory group (4.1%) and one of testicular group (7.7%). Chromosomal anomalies were observed in 6 cases of 105 pregnancies (5.7%), and all of them were from the ejaculatory group. Two cases had autosomal numerical anomalies and 4 cases autosomal structural anomalies. However, sex chromosomal anomalies were not detected in this study. CONCLUSION: The obstetric outcomes, the incidence of congenital malformations and chromosomal anomalies in ICSI babies were not different according to the origin of sperm. These findings should be further investigated in larger long-term studies.
