A case of lacunar skull, female newborn infant, associated with skin defect on the lumbosacral region, spina bifida, meingomyelocele and paraplegia is reported. Hydrocephalus developed eventually. Diagnosis was made by X-ray of skull. The roentgenographic apperance shows typhical a soap bubble texture or irregular patches of rarefaction. A brief review of the related literature is given.

Acute hydrops of the gallbladder is described in one patient who had mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome. During the course of her illness, acute addominal pain, vomiting and right upper guadrant tenderness were developed. Diagnosis was readily made with ultrasonography, and the patient was followed with this te-chnique. We managed her conventionally without surgical intervention. The galbladder returned to normal size within about 3 weeks. Related literatures are briefly reviewed.

This is the clinical statistics concerning the admitted patients observed in the pediatric department of 24 university hospitals and general training hospitals in Korea during the past 3 years from Jan. 1976 to Dec. 1978.All the patients were classified by year and disease according to international classification of disease by W.H.O.(1965 Revision). The results obtained were as follows: 1. Total number of patients during 3 years were 64,864, of which 18,085 were in 1976,22,084 in 1977 and 24,693 in 1978 with about 10% increment every year. 2. Infectious and parasitic disease were the most frequent, 20,737 cases(31.97%) followed by respiratory tract disease,15,917 cases(24.54%) and neonatal disease, 6,388 cases(11.44%) 3. Ten major leading causes of hospitalization were pneumonia(12.7%),diarrheal disease (9.4%), hyperbilirubinemia and postmaturity, upper respiratkory tract infection, immaturity acute bronchitis and bronchiolitis, infectious hepatitis, nephritis,convulsion, and intestinal obstruction in the order of frequency

A 74-year-old woman presented with edema in the lower extremities. Laboratory tests revealed anemia, thrombocytopenia, hypoalbuminemia, hypercholesterolemia, and nephrotic-range proteinuria. Myelodysplastic syndrome-refractory cytopenia with multilineage dysplasia (MDS-RCMD) was confirmed by bone marrow biopsy. Renal biopsy demonstrated membranous glomerulonephritis (MGN), stage I. Based on these clinicopathologic results, she was diagnosed as having MGN with MDS-RCMD. This is a rare case report of MGN in a parient with MDS-RCMD featuring nephrotic syndrome.

PURPOSE: The effect of different peritoneal dialysis (PD) modalities on the decline in residual renal function (RRF) is unclear due to inconsistencies among studies. In particular, the effect of automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) modalities [continuous cyclic peritoneal dialysis (CCPD) and nightly intermittent peritoneal dialysis (NIPD)] on RRF has not been examined in a large cohort. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a single-center retrospective study to investigate the association between PD modalities and decline in RRF in 142 incident PD patients [34 on CCPD, 36 on NIPD, and 72 on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD)]. RRF was measured within 2 months from PD start and at 1 year after PD initiation. RESULTS: The RRF at 1 year after PD initiation was 1.98+/-2.20 mL/min/1.73 m2 in CCPD patients and 3.63+/-3.67 mL/min/1.73 m2 in NIPD patients, which were moderately lower than 4.23+/-3.51 mL/min/1.73 m2 in CAPD patients (p=0.064). Moreover, there was no significant difference in the 1-year rate of decline of RRF between CCPD and NIPD patients, although APD patients had a faster 1-year RRF decline rate than CAPD patients (CCPD and NIPD vs. CAPD: -45.68 and -36.69 vs. 1.17%/year, p=0.045). APD was associated with a more rapid decline in RRF in patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing PD, although multivariate analysis attenuated the significance of this finding (beta=-31.50; 95% CI, -63.61 to 0.62; p=0.052). CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that CAPD might be more helpful than APD for preserving RRF during the first year of dialysis therapy, although there was no significant difference in the 1-year rate of decline of RRF between the two APD modalities.
