To identify the developmental characteristics of intermediate filaments, the expressions of various cytokeratines (CK), desmin and vimentin in fetal (14032 weeks of gestations) and adult epidermis were studied immunohistochemically. The primary antibodies used were CK7, 8, 10, 14, 18, AE8, 5D3, and MNFl16 for cytokeratins, D33 for desmin, and V9 for vimentin. At 14 weeks of gestation, the epidermis consisted of basal cells and periderm. The periderm exhibited positive staining for CK8 and AE8, and weak staining for MNF116 and D33. The basal cells showed positive staining for MNF116 and D33. The epidermis did not reacted for CK7, 10, 14, 18, 5D3, and V9 at this period. At 16-20 weeks of gestation, the epidermis was composed of basal, intermediate, and periderm layers. The periderm was positive for CK8, 18, AE8, MNF116, and D33. The intermediate cells were positive for CK10 and the basal cells CK14, MNF116, and D33. Few cells were stained positively with V9 among the basal cells. At 24-32 weeks of gestation, the epidermis exhibited no longer positive reactions for CK8, 18, AE8 and D33. The intermediate cells were positive for CK10. Immunoreactivity for MNF116 was noted in intermediate layer just above the basal layer. CKl4, MNFl16, D33, and often V9 were expressed in basal cells. The expressions of CK7 and 5D3 were not observed at any period of gestation. In adult epidermis, basal cells exhibited positive staining for CKl4, MNFl16, and D33. The intermediate cells were strongly positive for CK10, and weakly positive for CK7, 8, and MNFl16. The cells positive for V9 were often present among the basal cells. These results indicate that CK8 and 18 may serve as useful markers for periderm, CK10 for intermediate cells, CKl4 for basal cell, and suggest that the vimentin immunoreactive cells in basal cell layer are Langerhans cells.

During the lest 7 years 21 children with vesicoureteral reflux and neurogenic bladder dysfunction and 46 children with primary vesicoureteral reflux were followed. At the time of initial presentation, the mean age of the former group was 5.5 years and the letter group, 2.8 years. The grade of reflux and the nephropathy were more severe in the children with neuropathic bladder than in the children with primary vesicoureteral reflux But in the same reflux grade, there was no statistical difference in the nephropathy between the two groups. The children with vesicoureteral reflux and neuropathic bladder were managed with drug therapy, intermittent catheterization, urinary diversion and ureteral reimplantation. Radiological followup revealed that resolution or improvement of reflux occurred in 36 per cent of renal units managed by intermittent catheterization and 100 per cent in which the ureters were reimplanted. As in the non-neurogenic bladder successful management of reflux and prevention of upper tract deterioration can be achieved by conservative management as well as by ureteroneocystostomy.

Despite its many disadvantages ketamine may offer a partial answer to the pollution of the operating room by gases and vapours. It is a relatively long-acting drug with good analgesic action and does not require supplementation with nitrous oxide. This study was carried out to investigate the efficiency of the ketamine I.V. drip technique in patients undergoing operations not requiring tracheal intubation, muscle relaxation and controlled ventilation. The only contraindications to the use of its technique were hypertension, a history of a cerebrovascular accident or undetermined history of psychiatric upset. Twenty patients, ranging in age from 20 to 60 years, were premedicated with atropine and secobarbital, diazepam or hydroxyzine. Anesthesia was induced with 0.15mg/kg droperidol in Thalamonsl and was maintained with 0. 1% ketamine in 5% dextrose or balanced salt solution. The average dosage of ketamine was 1.175 mg/kg/hr for induction and 2. 33 mg/kg/hr for maintenance during operations with duration from 20 minutes to 5 hours and 35 minutes. No supplementary general anesthesia was given, but when the depth of anesthesia was :not adequate, the rate of the ketamine infusion was increased. After the induction with Thalamonal the respiration rates were decreased temporarily, but the tidal volume and arterial gas study were clinically within normal limits. The incidences of complications of anesthesia, namely increased B.P. (20mmHg above preoperative value), involuntary movements, dreams and hallucinations were 60, 40, 10 and 5% respectively. The verbal response time from the end of operation was within 30 minutes in 75% cases. It may be concluded that Thalsmonal and ketamine I.V. drip anesthesia without intubation can be used relatively satisfactorily in operations in which muscle relaxation, endotracheal intubation and controlled respiration are not needed.
