The renal scan was performed of 18 cases of acute pyelonephritis. 2 cases were normal and 16 cases were abnormal uptake findings in renal scan. Among these cases, 11 cases were mottled, 4 cases were decreased, 1 case was defect uptake finding. Conclusively, we believe that renal scan is a more sensitive index than the pyelogram for renal parenchymal lesions in the acute pyelonephritis.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the patency, procedure related complications and effectiveness of Wallstent application to the malignant biliary obstruction as a palliative treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical results, duration of survival, patency rate and complication of the Wallstent application on 33 patients who had had obstructive jaundice by the malignant lesion in recent 3 years. One or two step procedures. were mainly taken with 10mm diameter Wallstents. Grouping according to place the stent at the hilum or not, and grouping according to place the stent through the ampulla or not were done to evaluate the difference of the patency and survival rate between the groups. RESULTS: Biliary endoprosthesis with Wallstent were successfully placed in all patients without difficulty. Procedure related short-term complication rate was about 18.1% (n=6/33). Complications were fever(n=4), cholecystitis(n=1) and sepsis(n=l). Long-term complications were mainly obstruction(n=9/31) of the Wallstent during the follow-up period. Also cholecystitis occurred in one patient 3 months later. Mean survival duration was 139.72 (46-237)days ormong those who expired. Mean patency duration of stents was 139.67 (26-310) days. Survival rates were 93.5% at the second month, 68.8% at the third month, 61.2% at the 4th month, 53.5% at the 5th month, 49.1% at the 7th month and 35.7% at the 9th month. Patency rates were 93.7% at the second month, 84.2% at the 4th month, 66.9% at the 5th month, 59.5% at the 7th month and 39.6% at the 10th month. The application was repeated in the 6 patients with stent occlusion. Significant statistical difference could not be found between the groups according to placing the stent at the hilum and according to placing the stent through the ampulla. Patency rates were higher than survival rates in the follow-up period. CONCLUSION: Wallstent application provides good palliation with little discomfort and few complications in the patients with malignant obstructive jaundice.

A clinical observation was made on 23 patients of renal staghorn calculi which were treated at the Department of Urology, Hangang sacred Heart Hospital, Hallym College. The results were as follows: 1. Patients ranged in age from 17 to 62 years and there were 12 males and 11 females, giving a male to female ratio of approximated 1.1 to 1. The right kidney was involved more than the left. Eleven patients (47.8%) had multiple renal calculi and 1 of the 23 patients had bilateral renal staghorn calculi. 2. As for methods of surgery, extended pyelolithotomy in 9 cases, nephrolithotomy in 5 cases, nephrolithotomy with partial nephrectomy in 1 case and nephrectomy in 8 cases were performed. 3. Postoperative complications included 3 cases of residual stone and 3 cases of urinary infection. 4. Recommendable surgical method for renal staghorn calculi is the preservation of kidney according to operation technique.
