1.Nonvisuallzing Kidney on Radiography.
Korean Journal of Urology 1965;6(1):31-33
Although recently, there have been introduced many new diagnostic tools such as renal scanning and renogram, intravenous urogram remains to be one of the most useful method of urological diagnosis. Therefore it seems warranted to review 363 cases of intravenous urograms performed in the department of urology, St. Mary's hospital, Catholic Medical College during the period of January, 1962 to June, 1964. Among others, especial attention was paid to 60 cases of nonvisualizing kidneys. Of 60 nonvisualizing kidneys, renal tuberculosis occupied 27 cases(45%); ureteral and renal stones 13(21.6%); hydronephrosis 9(15%) (metastatic carcinoma 6(10%)and surgical manipulation 3(5%); Wilms' tumor 5 (8.3%) chronic atrophic pyelonephritis 3(5%) ; One case each of renal cell carcinoma, cystic kidney and thrombosis of the renal artery. Inasmuch as the present study revealed renal tuberculosis to be the most common cause of nonvisualizing kidneys, it is felt that one should always consider the possibility of tuberculosis in the diagnosis of nonvisualizing kidneys in Korea. This fact should be stressed because nontuberculous pathology such as chronic pyelonephritis has been implicated to be the most frequent cause of nonvisualizing kidneys by American authors.

BACKGROUND: IL-4 is known as a potent stimulating factor and, TNF-α and IFN-γ suppress collagen synthesis of dermal fibroblasts. However, relatively little is known about interaction of these cytokines. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the interactional effect of TNF-α and INF-r for the type I collagen gene expression and promoter activation produced by IL-4. METHODS: Using dermal fibroblasts from the normal skin cultured with three cytokines, IL-4, TNF-α and IFN-γ, we examined Northern blot analysis with each cDNA and assayed CAT activity with human pro a 2(l)collagen(COL1A2)/CAT reporter gene chimeric construct. RESULTS: Compared to the control, treating with IL-4 resulted in prominent elevation of both type I procollagen mRNA levels and prce 2(I) collagen promoter activity. IL-4 with TNF-α suppressed the IL-4 induced elevations, whereas IL-4 with IFN-γ did not reveal the obvious suppression of the elevations produced by IL-4. Fibroolasts treated with IL-4 together with IFN-γ and TNF-α completely abolished the type I procollagen gene expression and the activation of COL1A2 promoter gene elicited by IL-4. CONCLUSION: IL-4 induced enhancement of type I collagen gene expression was synergistically suppressed by TNF-α and IFN-γ on transcriptional level.

Thumb reconstruction with a free neurovasculsr wrap around flap from the great toe by microsurgery had been first reported by O'Brien, Macleod and Morrison in 1980. We have performed one case of thumb reconstruction with psrtial first metstarsus for loss of thumb except pulp and one digital vessel by microsurgery. The results were summerized as followings ; 1. This one stage procedure has the unique advantage to reconstruct a thumb almost identical to the origin. 2. This technique allows preservstion of the toe and the secondary defect results in no significant morbidity.

In Korea, slipped capital femoral epiphysis is a rare disease. In which the capital femoral epiphysis migrate posteriorly and inferiorly against the neck portion. Sometimes it should be differentiated from other conditions that separate the femoral capital epiphysis. We have experienced a rare case of separation of capital femoral epiphysis due to an osteosarcoma in the proximal femoral metaphysis in the 15 years of old girl.

Dislocation involving talus is a rare injury comprising less than 1% of all dislocations of the joint. One case of lateral subtalar di location of the talus treated at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Kang Nam General Hospital in Decernber 1985. The patient was followed for 6 months and satisfactory healing was obtained.

Arthrodesis of the knes has lost its nopularity since the development of modern knee replscement arthroplasties, however it still has its place as a salvage procedure when replacement arthroplasties are contraindicated. Various techniques have been in the use including the time-tested Charnleys compressiori arthrodesis. Instead of using Charnley's and other similar compression devices, the authors applied single or double compression plates in 8 knees with severe destruction and deformities, and the results are summerized ss follows: l. Included in this series are 5 cases of tuberculous arthritis, 1 case of septic arthritis, 1 case of resistant scar contracture, and 1 case of Charcots knee. 2. Successful fusion was obtained within 18th week, aversge 13th week. No case of pseudarthrosis was experienced. 3. 3 cases of postop. wound drainage and 1 case of peroneal nerve palsy were experienced, but these did not compromise the final results. 4. It may be concluded that Arthrodesis of the knee using compression plate is rigid enough to permit early mobilization of patients and get the certainty of union.
