In oder to determine values for the body weight by height groups for Korean adults men who are fully grown up 4028(30-39 age-group:2318, 40-49 age-group: 1340, and 50-59 age-group:370) apparently healthy males subjects were randomly selected for the measurement of body weight by height groups. 1) The average body height and weight of Korean adult men were 168.3+/-4.6cm and 63.4+/-7.1kg in 30-39 age group, 167.7+/-4.7cm and 63.4+/-7.4kg in 40-49 age group, and 167.3+/-5.2cm and 63.3+/-8.0kg in 50-59 age group. 2) A correlation coefficient of r=+0.52(P<0.001) between body height and weight was found in 30-39 ate group of 2318 subject, r=+0.48(P<0.001) in 40-49 of 1340 and r=+0.53(P<0.001) in 50-59 of 370 with the aid of there coefficients of linear regression body weight and height were established for male as follow; for 30-39 age group, Y(weight in kg)=0.81X(height in cm)-73.02, 40-49 age group, Y(weight in kg)=0.74X(height in cm)-61.82, 50-59 age group, Y(weight in kg)=0.82X(height in cm)-73.83. 3) With the aid of above listed various equation standard values for body weight by height group, with over weighing and under weighing values were established. 4) Standard bodyweight of Korean was lower than those of American, Japanese and several other formulas for ideal body weight.

Since Dr. Angell introduced cryopreservation method for tissue preservation in 1980s, it became a preferred method for cardiovascular tissues. Cryopreservation has been proven to provide better cell viavility and clinical result than any other preservation method. The quality of cryopreserved cardiovascular tissue is a very critical point of patients' survival when transplanted. To obtain high quality cryopreserved tissue, each processing methods from harvesting to delivery should be standardized. Various factors, such as range of possible tissues, acceptable ischemic time, temperature during transportation, facility for processing, method of freezing, use of cryoprotectant, method of storage, condition of delivery, and method of thawing for cardiovascular tissues should be standardized. Different standards should be established and applied to different tissues. Various kinds of tissues can be harvested from each living or cadaveric donor. Therefore, it is reasonable to harvest and handle all tissues in one laboratory by one tissue bank. In U.S.A, tissue banks are operated under standardized condition. The American Association of Tissue Banks affords the certification of specialist and tissue banks on very strict conditions, and provides the Food and Drug Administration with consultation in making regulations regarding tissue transplantation. In Korea, tissues have been simply stored in refrigerator since mid 1990s, and cryopreservation method is getting popular. Tissue banking has been started recently and now six major hospitals treat the cardiovascular tissues and are equipped with good facilities. Korean Association of Tissue Banks was established last year and now setting up regulations and standards. In Conclusion, I suggest that the cardiovascular tissue bank should belong to a university hospital till regulations and standards are completed. And then commercial tissue bank will be able to take it over to manage more tissues. The financial state of tissue banking is also an important point to be considered to balance between quality control and easy access to the public. Also the cost of cryopreserved allograft should be covered by medical insurance.

1. We have reported here a case of left marked hydronephrosis due to left aberrant renal vessel, which was treated by ablative procedure. 2. Aberrant renal vessel is a rare disease, but is a relatively common cause of uretero-pelvic obstruction with intrinsic ureteropelvic stenosis. Clinically it is important that this disease may he easily complicated with the conditions such as obstruction, hydronephrosis and infection, and also, the surgeon may inadvertently lacerate the structure with resultant profuse hemorrhage during the operation.

A clinical study was made on 85 cases' of urinary lithiasis among the number of 3795 out-patients, during 5 years and 8 months from January 1964 to August 1969, and 80 cases were analyzed by a chemical method. (70 cases were safely reserved stone, 10 cases were by litholapaxy.) The results were as following: 1. The incidence of urinary calculi was 2.2%, male to female ratio being approximately 3.7: l. 2 83 cases of urinary calculi were found in the Chonnam district and 2 cases were found in the Chonbuk district 3. The age of the patients ranged from 20~40 years in approximately 65.6%. 4 The location of the urinary calculi was in ureter in 47%, kidney (29.4%), bladder(14.2%) and urethra (9.4%). 5. The most favored predilection of ureteral stone was lower third of ureter in approximately 47% of all cases 6. In a number of urinary calculi in each location 83.5% (71 cases) was single. The most common sire, was below 0.5cm in its diameter, and weight, below 0.5Gm on 41 cases (51.25%). 7. The clinical symptoms of upper urinary tract lithiasis showed flank pain in 81.5%, hematuria in 35. 4%, and suprapubic discomfort in 30. 8%, ,but in lower urinary tract, painful urination was in 85%, urgency in 60%, stoppage of urinary stream in 65% and hematuria in 40%. 8. The microscopic hematuria showed 87.1%, which incidence was higher in lower urinary tract calculi, and pyuria was revealed in 39. 9%. 9. The most frequent surgical intervention was ureterolithotomy in 38.5% (35 cases). 10. The results of chemical analysis of 80 urinary calculi showed the mixed type of calcium-phosphate and calcium oxalate in 40% (32 cases), calcium oxalate in 12. 5% (10 cases), calcium phosphate in 12.5% (10 cases), the mixed type of calcium-phosphate and ammonium-phosphate in 10% (8 cases), calcium-carbonate in 10% (8 cases) and urate in 3.75% (3 cases). 11. Cases of bilateral urinary calculi were revealed in 13.8%.
