Determination of Immunoglobulin in Prostatic Secretion of Patients with Prostatitis / 대한비뇨기과학회지

Determination of immunoglobulin in prostatic secretion and serum by radial immunodiffusion method was used in the diagnosis of prostatitis. The study was performed in 16 normal healthy men and 45 prostatitis patients. The results were as follows; 1 Significant elevation of IgG and IgA in Prostatic fluid of patients with prostatitis was obtained. 2. Ratio of IgA in prostatic secretion to immunoglobulin in serum was increased in patients with prostatitis than normal healthy men.

Study on Serum and Urinary Calcium Level and Serum Parathyroid Hormone in Patients with Urinary Stone / 대한비뇨기과학회지

Urinary tract calculi are among the earliest documented afflictions of man but much remains to be learned about the causes and prevention of this common disease. We estimated the serum concentration and urinary excretion of calcium in 65 stone-formers, comparing to those 21 controls. Additionally, serum parathyroid hormone level in 38 stone-formers was estimated. The results were as follows: 1. Serum calcium levels of stone formers were significantly higher than those of controls in total, male and female. 2. Urinary calcium levels of stone formers were significantly higher than those of controls in total, male and female. 3. Hypercalcemia was significantly more frequent for stone-formers in total and male, but not in female. 4. Hypercalcemia was significantly more frequent for stone-formers in total, but not in male and female. 5. The incidence of stone-formers, in whom normocalcemia and normocalciuria, was significantly less than that of controls. 6. Serum parathyroid hormone levels of stone formers were significantly higher than those of control in total and female, but not in male. 7. The elevated serum parathyroid hormone was more frequent in stone formers, but not significant statistically. These results suggest the possibility that metabolic disorder of calcium may play some roles in the genesis of urinary stone.

Two Experiences of Operation about Urogenital Anomalies Associated with Congenital Imperforate Anus / 대한비뇨기과학회지

The high incidence of genitourinary anomalies associated in patients with imperforate anus and rectum has long been recognized. The death of children suffering imperforate anus several years after satisfactory management of the alimentary lesion is often due fundamentally to oversight or poor management of a urologic lesion. We have recently two cases of imperforate anus associated with urogenital anomalies, urethrorectal and rectovaginal fistula.
