ABSTRACT
As follow-up of Song's experiments reported previously, this study was undertaken to observe pathologic changes in Imuran-treated renal homografts in dogs. Mongrel dogs weighing 15 to 20 kilograms were used in all experiments. Renal transplants were exchanged between animals. Imuran was administered twice a day per oral with daily doses of 3mg. per kilogram of body weight, and the first dose was given 24 hours before renal transplantation. Transplanted kidney were removed on the postoperative 1st, 3rd, 7th, 14th. 20th, and 30th day, and the were examined microscopically with Hematoxylin-Eosin staining. As comparing with the results of Song's experiments which were untreated homotransplants, the appearance of characteristic microscopic changes of rejection (progressive destructive changes of vessels with infiltration of lymphocytes, polymorphonuclear leukocytes and plasma cell) was temporarily delayed and modified by Imuran administration, but ischemic changes developed imminently in later days.

A statistical analysis was made on 124 cases of urinary calculi during the period from Jan. 1968 to Aug. 1971 on the Department of Urology of Capital Military Hospital, and the results were obtained as following; 1. The incidence of urinary: calculi was 2.04% of out-patients. 2. The age of the patients ranged from 20 to 30 years in approximately 75.8%. 3. A seasonal occurrence was a most high during summer on 41.6%. 4. The locational distribution of urinary calculi was 59.7% in ureter, 28. 2% in kidney, 8. 1% in bladder, 4.0% in urethra. Approximately 9. 1% of the upper urinary calculi was found bilaterally. 5. The most favored predirection of ureteral stone was lower one-third in 70.2% of all cases. 6. In a number of urinary calculi, 83.9% was single and 16.1% was more than 2. 7. The ureterolithotomy was performed on 40 of 80 cases requiring surgical intervention. Cystoscopic manipulation and conservative treatment were 13. 1% in the each. 8. The results of qualitative analysis of 73 urinary calculi showed calcium phosphate + oxalate in 49.3%, calcium phosphate in 16.4%, calcium oxalate in 15.1%, calcium carbonate in 8.2%, calcium phosphate + uric acid in 4.1%, calcium oxalate + urate in 4.1%, calcium phosphate +ammonium in 2.8%.
