6 cases of idopathic asceptic necrosis of femoral head were experienced at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery. Age distribution ranged from 19 to 58 years and the ratio of sex was 3:3. Two of them had bilateral involvement of necrosis of femoral head. Two of them were primarily treated by means of arthrotomy, joint debridement and drilling of the necrotic area. Symptoms only temporarily relieved and required further surgical procedure. As a whole, arthrodesis in 2, cup arthroplasty in 1, Austin-Moor hip prosthesis in 2 and total hip prosthesis, McKee-Farrar type, in 1 case were performed. Four of the mobile operation of the hip restored satisfactory range of hip motions despite the types of surgery.

This study was performed to investigate the distribution and magnitude of stress at supporting tissue of abutment teeth and residual ridge tissue with remaining unilateral posterior teeth. Four types of removable partial dentures that included clasp retained removable partial denture, attachment retained removable partial denture, telescopic removable partial denture, and swing-lock partial denture were designed, and strain gauge was used for stress analysis. Each prosthesis was subjected to simulated vertical and oblique load. The following conclusions were drawn from this study. 1. The clasp retained removable partial denture generally distributed simulated vertical force more evenly to the supporting structure. 2. The stress at buccal side of 1st premolar was the lowest in swing-lock partial denture and that was highest in attchment retained removable partial denture. The stress at lingual side of 1st premolar was the lowest in telescopic partial denture. 3. In clasp retained removable partial denture, stress was lower at load site and ridge crest at midline, but it was higher at lst premolar area on vertical load. 4. In attachment removable partial denture, stresses at buccal side of 1st premolar, lingual side of 1st premolar on vertical load, and ridge crest at midline on oblique load were higher. 5. In telescopic removable partial denture, stress at lingual side of 1st premolar was the least in all removable partial dentures, but the stress at load site was higher. 6. In swing-lock removable partial denture, stress at buccal side of 1st premolar was the lowest, and stresses at load site and distal end of residual ridge crest were higher.

Daily excretions of sodium, potassium and urea nitrogen and urine volume of normal Korean were reported by several authors. However, it is generally suspected that dietary composition of Koreans improved during last decade. Author have hypothetized that changes of diet composition could modify urine compositions and volume. In order to determine the urine composition and volume in the late 1970`s, sodium and potassium concentrations were measured by flame photometry and urea nitrogen by urease indophenol method in the urine from 50 rural residents. The residents were composed of 10 public officials, 18 male farmers and 22 female farmers. Followings were the results: 1. Daily urine volume Total average : 1594.20+/-443.89 ml/day, Public official : 1714.00+/-548.00 ml/day Male farmer :1508.89+/-310. 54ml/day, Female farmer: 1612.27+/-496.04 ml/day 2. Daily urinary sodium excretion Total average : 5.19+/-1.21 g/day. Public official : 5.62+/-1.93 g/day Male farmer : 4.73+/-1.10 g/day, Female farmer: 5.37+/-0.98 g/day 3. Daily urinary potassium excretion Total average : 1.79+/-0.59 g/day, Public official : 1.97+/-0.60 g/day Male farmer : 1.91+/-0.59 g/day, Female farmer : 1.62+/-0.58 g/day 4. Daily urinary urea nitrogen excretion Total average : 7.26+/-l.95 g/day, Public official : 8.06+/-1.65 g/day Male farmer: 7.53+/-2.40 g/day. Female farmer : 6.67+/-1.65 g/day A comparison of these data with corresponding figures obtained from Western reporters indicate that the concentration and excretion of sodium of rural Koreans are still higher significantly, while those of potassium and urea nitrogen are lower than those of Westerns significantly. On the other hand, a comparison with corresponding figures obtained from other Korean reporters in the 1960's indicate that sodium excretion of present data is lower while potassium and urea nitrogen are higher than those of the 1960's. It is speculated that these peculiarities of urinary composition shown in rural Koreans in the late 1970's are attributed to improved protein ingestion combined with decreased salt intake as compared to 1960's, however, the levels are still far from Westerns.

In order to assess the physical growth pattern of Korean Youth, the authors measured the body height, chestgirth and sitting height of 40967 persons (24832 males and 16135 females) from primary schools, middle and high schools and colleges of metropolitan (urban) and rural areas, and calculated the mene, standard deviation, standard error and coefficient variance of the body weight chestgirth, sitting height and various pertinent index by body height to demonstrate the standard physical growth and development by body height of sex and age. The following conclusions were obtained. 1. Physical growth and development: Rapid growth of physical growth in terms of body height has been observed among males in the age 7-15 and among female 7-13. Growth in terms of body height turned out to be slower among students of higher age by both sexes. The age of cross over between to sexes is between 10 to 13 years where upon girls out grows boys. Maximum annual growth were upon girls out grows boys. Maximum annual growth were both of 6.16cm from 8 to 9 years old and 12 to 13 years old for boys and 7.2cm from 8 to 9 and 6.1cm from 9 to 10 for girls. This indicates that girls enter a rapidly growing stage 2 years earlier than boys. Meanwhile, prominent improvement in body height of national students over period of ten year was noticed. 2. The distribution status of body height by age: The distribution status of body height by age were as follows; 7 year of age: boys-30cm range of body height from 104.0cm to 133.9cm, girls-27cm from 104.0 to 130.9cm, 8 year of age: boys-30cm from 116.0 to 145.9cm, girls-33cm from 113.0 to 145.9cm, 9 year of age: boys-30cm from 116.0 to 145.9cm, girls-33cm from 113.0 to 145.9cm, 10 year of age: boys-39cm from 116.0 to 154.9cm, girls-39cm from 119.0 to 157.9cm, 11 year of age: boys-45cm from 119.0 to 163.9cm, girls-39cm from 122.0 to 160.9cm, 12 year of age: boys-45cm from 125.0 to 169.9cm, girls-42cm from 125.0 to 166.9cm, 13 year of age: boys-45cm from 128.0 to 172.9cm, girls-42cm from 128.0 to 169.9cm, 14 year of age: boys-48cm from 131.0 to 178.9cm, girls-36cm from 134.0 to 169.9cm, 15 year of age: boys-42cm from 137.0 to 181.9cm, girls-33cm from 137.0 to 169.9cm, 16 year of age: boys-39cm from 146.0 to 184.9cm, girls-30cm from 143.0 to 172.9cm, 17 year of age: boys-39cm from 146.0 to 184.9cm, girls-27cm from 143.0 to 169.9cm, 18 year of age: boys-36cm from 152.0 to 187.9cm, girls-27cm from 146.0 to 172.9cm, 19 year of age: boys-30cm from 155.0 to 184.9cm girls-24cm from 146.0 to 169.9cm, 20 year of age: boys-24cm from 158.0 to 181.9cm girls-18cm from 149.0 to 166.9cm, 3. Standard values of body weight, chest-girth and sitting height by body height of age were found all age groups from 7 to 20 years old and listed in tables from 3-a to 16-a. 4. Standard values of relative body weight, relative chestgirth and relative sitting height by body height of age were found all age groups from 7 to 20 years old and listed in tables from 3-b to 16-b. 5. Standard values of physical and nutritional indices (Rohrer index, Kaup index, Vervaeck index and Pelidisi index) by body height of age were found all age groups from 7 to 20 years old and listed in tables from 3-c to 16-c.

We report on a patient with spontaneous rupture of hemorrhagic renal cyst into the pyelocaliceal system. He had no history of trauma, bleeding disorders, urinary tract infection or urinary tract obstruction. Gross hematuria followed by left flank pain occurred 1 day prior to admission. Although radiologic findings were suggestive of rupture of renal cyst into the calyx or calyceal diverticulum. exclusion of malignant disease or renal carbuncle was difficult. He was managed by partial nephrectomy. Microscopic findings revealed ruptured cyst lined with low cuboidal epithelium without evidence of malignancy.

To identify clinical situations or techniques that tended to increase the incidence of either success or complications. we evaluated retrospectively the experience with rigid ureteroscopy in 85 patients from June 1989 to December 1990. The ureteral stone removal was successful in 48 of 85 patients (56%). Early complications occurred in 12 patients( 14%) : ureteral perforations in 6 patients, intramural ureteral mucosa avulsions in 2 patients, flank pain more than 2 days in 2 patients and uncomplicated urinary tract infection in 2 patients. On excretory urography performed in 60 patients 1 to 3 months after ureteroscopy mild strictures were noted at the ureteral office in 2 patients(3% ), which was relieved on upright position in one case and was improved spontaneously en followup excretory urography 3 months later in the other case. In conclusion, ureteroscopic removal of stones can be a successful and safe treatment modality of mid and lower ureter stones, especially with experience and good surgical skill.

Eosinophilic cystitis is a rare inflammatory disease of bladder with unknown etiology. The disease is known to be associated with several different processes such as allergy or injury. Eosinophilic cystitis is similar to interstitial cystitis, tuberculosis and bladder neoplasms in the clinical manifestations and should be differentiated from them. A 42-year-old male patient presented with gross hematuria, frequency and dysuria. Urinalysis showed hematopyuria. Cystoscopy revealed a hemorrhagic and necrotic polypoid mass, measuring 3cm in diameter on the dome of the bladder. Pathology of the lesion revealed the diffuse eosinophilic infiltration of the bladder wall without evidence of malignancy. The patient was treated with a 2-month course of 10mg prednisolone 3 times a day. The symptoms improved. After 3 months, followup cystoscopy and cystography showed normal findings.
