ABSTRACT
Thirty-two patients with chronic prostatitis were given 6 tables of Cernilton daily for 12.6 weeks on the average. Improvement of subjective symptoms and objective findings was noted in 74.2% and 65.6% of the cases, respectively. The effective rate was 75.0%. No subjective symptoms or abnormal changes in laboratory data were observed in any case after Cernilton medication.

A living related kidney transplant recipient with normal renal functioning and hypertension secondary to renal artery stenosis was treated with captopril and developed reversible granulocytopenia. Complications caused by captopril, an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, have been reported previously in hypertensive patients with systemic lupus erythematosus or with renal artery stenosis after renal transplantation. It is recommended that this drug be used with caution in this setting.

A 8-year-old girl was referred with both vesicoureteral reflux and repeated urinary infection since she was 30 months old. At 5 years old, she had had cystoscopy. Her excretory urogram (IVP) was almost normal; her voiding cystogram showed both vesicoureteral reflux of grade III and a maximum bladder capacity of 75 ml. At cystoscopy the ureteral orifices were in normal position of the trigone and the orifices were dilated like a golf-hole. Both ureters were reimplanted without ureter stents by the Cohen cross-trigonal advancement technique. Her IVP and a renograms postoperatively have shown normal kidney function and no urinary retention in either kidney. Her voiding cystograms have shown no vesicoureteral reflux. For 15 months after operation she has had no urinary infection. The Cohen cross-trigonal technique is a simple, safe and more applicable method than other anti-vesicoureteral reflux operations in cases of vesicoureteral reflux with contracted bladder.

We report a case of carcinosarcoma of the bladder. Total cystectomy with ileal loop urinary diversion was performed. Histologically, the bulk of the tumor tissue was rhabdomyosarcoma and adenocarcinoma. At distant areas from the bulk tumor transitional cell carcinoma was noted. The literature is reviewed and the clinicopathologic condition of carcinosarcoma of the bladder is discussed.
