The purpose of this study was to investigate the angle formed by the Sella-Nasion(SN) plane and Frankort-Horizontal(FH) plane and evaluate the correlation and difference of the FH plane to other horizontal reference planes. Through this study we hope to present a basis for selecting a horizontal reference plane which can be implemented in cephalometric studies and in surgical orthodontic treatment planning. 600 subjects were chosen following a clinical examination and lateral cephlometric X-rays were taken. According to cephalometric analysis the subjects were classified into 3 groups; Skeletal Class I malocclusion or normal occlusion group(male 50, female 50), Skeletal Class II malocclusion group(male 50, female 65) and Skeletal Class III malocclusion group(male 50, female 50). The results were as follows. 1. The angle formed by the SN plane and FH plane showed no difference among the malocclusion groups, but there was a significant sex difference. For males the angle measured was 7.47degrees+/-2.40degrees whereas for females it was 8.93degrees+/-2.72degrees. 2. The angle formed by the SN plane or FH plane and Mandibular plane was higher in females for all malocclusion groups. This angle in the Skeletal Class I malocclusion group was 1 awer than in the other two groups. 3. There was no difference among the sexes or malocclusion groups con ,idering the angle formed by the FH plane and Palatal plane. 4. The gonial angle in the Skeletal Class III malocclusion group was higher than in the Skeletal Class I and Class II malocclusion groups- in both sexes.

Most renal cell carcinomas are solid but contain small cystic areas. Sometimes the cystic component predominates and such lesions are called cystic renal cell carcinomas. The radiographic and pathologic findings of cystic renal cell carcinoma are often more confusing and less specific than the findings of solid renal cell carcinoma. Multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma is one form of cystic renal cell carcinoma variants and results from intrinsic multiloculated growth. A presumptive diagnosis of multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma was made preoperatively in a 38-year-old woman and it was treated with radical nephrectomy, so we report this case with brief review of the literatures.

BACKGROUND: Recent data suggest that the colonization rate of group B streptococci(GBS) in pregnant women and the incidence of neonatal infections by GBS is increasing trend in Korea, but the antimicrobial susceptibilities and serotypes in pregnant women have not been reported in Korea. So, we studied to define the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns and frequency of serotypes of GBS in pregnant women. METHODS: The susceptibility and serotyping of 60 GBS isolates from 27 pregnant women and four isolates from their two neonates were tested by an agar dilution method and agglutination test, respectively. The typing sera used in this study were Ia, Ib, II, III, IV, and V. RESULTS: Minimal inhibitory concentration range of 60 GBS from pregnant women were penicillin G 0.015-0.12 microgram/ml, vancomycin 0.5-2 microgram/ml, clindamycin 0.015-4.0 microgram/ml, chloramphenicol 2-4 microgram/ml, erythromycin 0.015-2 microgram/ml, tetracycline 0.5-256 microgram/ml, cephalothin 0.12-0.25 microgram/ml, ceftriaxone 0.03-0.12 microgram/ml, respectively. The resistance rate of GBS were 6.7% to clindamycin, 0% to erythromycin, and 98.3% to tetracycline. Most of GBS serotypes from pregnant women in decreasing order were Ib(48.3%), Ia(24.1%), III(20.7%). CONCLUSION: All GBS strains isolated from pregnant women are highly susceptible to commonly used antimicrobial agents with the exception of tetracycline. The low prevalence of severe neonatal GBS infections in Korea is not due to the absence of serotype III, but probably due to a low genital carriage rate of GBS by pregnant women.

The exact analysis of urinary stones is very important to the study of the etiology of stone formation, prevention of recurrence and medical treatment. We Have analyzed 260 urinary stones obtained form 260 patients by X-ray diffraction method and studied the relationships of stone compositions to stone sites, patient age, sex and stone weight. The following results were obtained : 1. In this study 7 crystalline compositions of urinary stones were observed : Calcium oxalate monohydrate, Calcium oxalate dihydrate, Magnesium ammonium phosphate, Calcium magnesium phosphate, calcium phosphate, Uric acid and cystine. 2. Single composition stones were slightly more in number than mixed composition stones. Of 260 stones, 192(74%) were mainly composed of calcium oxalate, 38(14.4%) of magnesium ammonium phosphate, 19(7.3%) of calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate, 10(3.9%) of uric acid and 1(0.4%) of cystine. 3. Calcium oxalate stones was the most common of all the urinary stones and that comprised 80.7%(96) of all renal stones, 93.5%(86) of all ureteral stones, 46.2%(18) of all bladder stones and 100%(9) of all urethral stones. 4. Of 181 patients, ranged 30 to 59 years old who comprised 70% of all patients, 149(82.3 % of 181 patients) had calcium oxalate stones. 5. The ratio of the occurrence of magnesium ammonium phosphate to all renal or bladder stones from females was higher than that from males. 6 Of 27 stones weighed more than 10gm, 14(52%) were mainly composed of magnesium ammonium phosphate, and 10(37%) of calcium oxalate.

The majority of hypospadias repairs can now be accomplished in one-stage, providing a better result with reduced morbidity and hospitalization costs. One-stage repair of hypospadias using Hodgson`s type III urethroplasty was performed on 22 of 47 cases with hypospadias treated at the Departrnent of Urology, Chonnam University Hospital during 10 years between 1976 and 1985. The following results were obtained. 1. The age of all 22 patients ranged from 4 to 30 years at the time of operation and about a half of the patients were in the age group between 6 and 10 years. 2. The most common type of hypospadias was penoscrotal one (55%) 3. Associated anomalies were bifid scrotum in 5 cases (23%) and cryptorchidism in 3 (14%). 4. Urinary diversion was performed on all cases with suprapubic Troca Cystocath in 16 cases (73%) and indwelling urethral silastic catheter in 6(27 %). 5. Postoperative complications were partial skin necrosis in 1 cases (4%), urethrocutaneous fistula in 6 (27%) and urethral stricture in 3 (14%). 6. Opening of the external urethral meatus after surgery was unsatisfactory in 5 cases, of which 3 underwent meatal advancement later. Tumors of the epididymis are rare. The most common one is adenomatoid tumor. At least more than two hundred cases have been reported in the literature but only one was reported by us last year in this country. We add another one which is involving bilateral epididymis simultaneously and review literature briefly.

Paget's disease of bone (osteitis deformans), a chronic osseous disease of unknown etiology, is extremely rarein Asia although well known in western countries. This disease is characterized by the simultaneous absorption ofbone and the new bone formation of abnormal character affecting middle and later age groups. The authorsexperienced a case of monostotic Paget's disease involving left pelvic bone in 56-years old female. To ourknowledge, this is the first cas report of monostotic Paget's in Korea.
