We wish to report 8 cages of calyceal diverticula which were diagnosed tentatively among cases of I.V.P. during the period from January 1965 to December 1971 at St. Mary's Hospital. There were 5 male and 3 female patients. The right kidney was involved in all patients The upper calyx was involved in 6 patients and the middle calyx in 2 patients. Lumbar or abdominal pain was present in 5 patients. 1 of the 8 patients had undergone appendectomy with removal of a norma1 appendix prior to diagnosis.Pyuria were found in 3 patients and one patient had single stone within the diverticulum.

Metformin is widely marketed medication for the treatment of diabetes, but its pharmacological effect on diabetic peripheral neuropathy remains unclear. In this study, the effect of metformin on peripheral nerves in diabetic rats was investigated using diverse neuronal parameters of nerve fibers.

We retrospectively analyzed 22 patients pelvic CT, in whom the acetabular fracture were suspected in plain film. And compared and analyzed the computed tomogram findings and plain radiographic findings. The results were as follows. CT enables better evaluation of shape, extent, and degree of separation of fragment. CT was helpful in detecting the combined fracture and soft tissue injuries. CT showed intraarticular loose bodies, which were invisible on plain film. In patients with pelvic trauma, no necessary changing position during CT examination. CT was useful demonstrates the remnant of intraarticular osseous fragment and adequacy of reduction after surgery.

A 18-year-old male patient presented with the skin colored, dome-shaped, soft, movable mass in his left retroauriculr region. The mass has slowly increased in size since birth. Histopathologic exarnination revealed sebaceous gland, eccrine gland and crosssectioned hair in the surrounding tissue, hair shaft projected into the lumen, and laminated horny material in the cyst. Transitional zone between stratified squarnous epithelium and the wall lined by histiocytes showed homogenous degenerative change. After surgical removal of the lesion, no recurrence was observed during 15 months of follow-up.
