: In order to observe the antigenic fractions in saline extract of adult Paragonimus westermani, proteins in the crude extract were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) in reducing conditions. The separated protein fractions were transferred to nitrocellulose paper on which 20 sera from human paragonimiasis were reacted and immunoblotted. Out of 15 stained protein bands in SDS-PAGE, 7 reacted with the sera. Of 14 reacted bands, 30 kilodalton(kDa) band was the most frequently reacted (95%) and was a strong antigen. Protein bands of 23 and 46 kDa were also strong antigens. Bands of over 150 kDa, 120 kDa, 92 kDa, 86 kDa, 74 kDa, 62 kDa, 51 kDa, 32 kDa, 28 kDa, 16.5 kDa and 15.5 kDa were also reactive but their frequencies of the reaction were variable.

Neuroleptic malignant syndrome is a rare, but potentially life-threatening adverse event associated with the use of neuroleptic agents. We describe the case of a 47-year-old schizophrenic woman who was treated with clozapine for years. The patient developed acute renal failure with pulmonary edema, and underwent mechanical ventilation and hemodialysis.

The complex group of changes which occurs during the intrauterine maturation of the urinary tract gives rise to several anomalies including those of the urachus. The occurrence of patent urachus is very rare and 67 cases has been reported by world literature since 1550, first description of patent urachus by Bartholomaeus Gabriolus A brief discussion of embryology, diagnosis and treatment is included for completeness. And a case of congenital patent urachus was seen at Han Ill Hospital.

Omentum has the characteristic that it readily develops vascular anastomosis with adjacent tissues. It is suitable for eliminating a dead space regardless of the size, shape or site in the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis by use of technique of microvascular anastomoses. We report a case of chronic osteomyelitis treated by transplantation of autogenous omentum with microvascular anastomsis.

Wilms' tumor is malignant renal tumor, originated from undifferentiated mesonephric blastema. Adult Wilms' tumor, unlike that of childhood, is a rare disease and a total of l67 cases have been reported in the world medical literature until 1980. Diagnosis of adut Wilms` tumor is very difficult preoperatively and the pathologic hallmark is the presence of abortive or embryonal glomerulotubular structure with an immature spindle cell stroma. The therapeutic guidelines and surgical principles that govern childhood Wilms' tumor should be applied to adult Wilms' tumor. We reported a case of Wilms' tumor developed in 34 year-old male patient complaining of right flank pain with gross hematuria for 2 months.
