A clinical survey was made on 90 cases of bladder tumor admitted to the Department of Urology. Hanyang University Hospital during the period from May, 1972 to April, 1982. The following results were obtained: 1. During the period, 2,679 patients were hospitalized, there were 90 cases of bladder tumor giving a rate of 3.4%. 2. The sex ratio was 5:1 with 75 male and 15 female, and 71.1% of the cases were in the age group of 41-70. 3. Hematuria was the most common symptom and occurred in 83.3%. 4. 70% of the cases visited the hospital within 1 year after the occurrence of the initial symptom. 5. Among 76 cases in which IVP was performed, 68.4% of the cases revealed normal upper urinary tract, and filling defect in the bladder were observed in 60.5% of the cases. 6. In the majority of case the tumor was located on the inside of the lateral wall of the bladder (67.8%) 64.4% of all cases had multiple lesions. 7. On pathological examination, 94.4% were transitional cell carcinomas and Grade II was the most frequent finding. 8. Initial treatment was given for 65 of the 90 cases of bladder tumor. TUR operation were performed in 9 cases, open resection and electrofulguration in 10 cases, partial cystectomy in 16 cases and total cystectomy with urinary diversion in 7 cases. Operation with chemotherapy or radiation therapy were performed in 17 cases, intravesical chemotherapy and radiation therapy were used in 2 cages each and systemic chemotherapy and radiation with chemotherapy were uses in 1 case each. 9. Average duration of follow up was about 15.8 months. 10. First recurrence percentage was 42.8.

Correction of alveolar cleft with bone grafting has become a well-established step in the integral management of cleft lip and palate patients. Secondary bone graft at mixed dentition is a widely accepted protocol and iliac bone graft is recommended as the gold standard by a multitude of cleft centers. However, grave morbidities of the iliac donor site have discouraged cleft surgeons from adopting this reliable method. In this study, percutaneous bone biopsy set was used to avoid the morbidities of conventional iliac bone graft. Iliac bone graft was performed on 20 patients with alveolar cleft during the period from January 1995 to February 1999. The tube saw of the bone biopsy set was introduced through a small incision of less than 1 cm, and cancellous bone cores were harvested from the iliac crest. After the pericoronal incision, a wide gingival mucoperiosteal flap was elevated at both sides of the cleft. A soft tissue pocket that was created by closure of the nasal and palatal lining was filled with harvested bone cores. Medial transposition and water-tight closure of both gingival mucoperiosteal flaps provided coverage of the bone graft. During the follow-up period from 5 to 50 months (mean, 29 months), completion of the goals of the alveolar bone graft was observed. There was no serious complication except for one case the exposure of the bone graft, and this was resolved spontaneously. Bone harvest with a percutaneous bone biopsy set enables early ambulation by reducing postoperative pain, and it may be faster and simpler than any other method introduced so far. Furthermore, blood loss was minimal, while the scar was small and acceptable. Iliac bone graft with percutaneous bone biopsy is a reliable method for correction of the alveolar cleft and it has many advantages over conventional iliac bone graft and other sources of bone.

Bowens disease is a precaicerous lesion and may transform into in asive squamous cell carcinoma. We present a case of a 67 year-old male with Bowens disease on the buttock from which squamous cell carcinoma developed. He had anerythematous, scaly and crusted slaque with a nodule on the left buttock. Skin biopsy specimen taken from the plaque and nodule revealed typical histopathological findings of Bowens disease and squlamous cell carcinoma, respectieels. The patient was treated with excision and skin graft under general anesthesia.

A Clinical observation was made on 70 cases of renal diseases, out patients and admitted to the department of Urology, Hanyang University Hospital during the period from January, 1982 to August, 1983. The following results were obtained: 1. The sex ratio was 1.3:1 with 39 male and 31 female, and 67.1% of the cases were in the age group of 41-70. 2. Obstructive diseases was the most common renal diseases and occurred in 32.8%. 3. On the ultrasonic pattern of renal diseases, solid echo-pattern were observed in 13 cases, cystic echo-free pattern in 34 cases, complex echo-pattern in 10 cases, absence of kidney in 3 cases and normal echo-pattern in 10 cases. 4. Secondary diagnostic ultrasound was the most common useful method of detecting nonvisualized kidney on IVP and hydronephrosis was the most common cause of unilateral renal nonvisualization, giving rate of 42.8%. 5. On the ultrasonic pattern of 17 cases in renal tumors, solid echo-pattern were observed in 11 cases (64.7%), complex echo-pattern in 6 cases (35.3%) and cystic echo-free pattern were not observed. 6. Diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonographic evaluation in renal diseases was 93%.

Effect of succinyleholine on the intra-ocular pressure was assessed in 29 surgical patients. After pretreatment of thiopental in a dose to induce the loss of eye-lid reflex the intra- ocular pressure was measured following intravenous administrdtion of succinylcholine. The following were the results. 1) Thiopental showed a significant lowering effect on the intra-ocular pressure. 2) A small dose(0.5mg/kg) of succinylcholine, given immediately after thiopental restored the intra-ocular pressure to the preanesthetic level. 3) A large dose(1.0~2.0mg/kg) of succinylcholine, administered immediately after thiopental, sustained the intra-ocular pressure below the preanesthetic leve. 4) Teacheal intubation caused a rise of the intra-ocular pressure above the preanesthetic level, more significantly than that of succinyleholine. 5) Suecinylcholine, in a large dose, showed a depressing effect on elevation of the intraocular pressure induced by tracheal intubation.
