[Treatment of chlamydial urethritis--studies on clinical effects of ofloxacin].

Clinical effects of ofloxacin (OFLX) in the treatment of the patients with chlamydial urethritis was studied. OFLX was administered at a dose of 200 mg, three times daily (600 mg) for 14 days. In all of the 26 patients with chlamydial urethritis, C. trachomatis was eliminated in 7 to 14 days after the start of administration. The subjective clinical symptoms such as pain on urination and abnormal urethral feeling was disappeared in all cases within 7 days after the administration. The objective clinical symptoms, urethral discharge, polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMNL) in urethral discharge and PMNL in first urine were improved in 94, 68, 91% respectively on 14 days after the administration. Overall clinical efficacy rate of OFLX on 7 days, 14 days and 21 days after the administration in this study was 63, 82, 91% respectively. Whereas subjective symptoms of side effects were noted in 2 patients (7.6%), any additional medical care was needed in none of them. Because of the marked improvement of clinical symptoms and the safety administration, OFLX could be the first regimen to be chosen for the treatment of the patients with chlamydial urethritis.

Adenocarcinoma of the bladder 29 years after ileocystoplasty.

We report a case of adenocarcinoma found at the bladder site 29 years after ileocystoplasty. The patient was a 43-year-old woman who had undergone a closed-loop type of ileocystoplasty for a small tuberculous contracted bladder when she was 13 years old. The tumor that arose in the bladder site was colonic type adenocarcinoma. Four cases of neoplasm occurring in the ileal portion following ileocystoplasty have been reported in the English and Japanese literature, but no case arising originally in the bladder site has been reported.

[Electrohydraulic lithotripsy of upper urinary tract calculi].

Electrohydraulic lithotripsy (EHL) was employed for the treatment of 35 patients with upper urinary tract calculi. The stones in 14 patients with renal and upper ureteral calculi were disintegrated by a 9Fr probe and the rigid nephroscope. Twelve patients with upper or middle ureteral calculi were treated using a 5Fr probe and the fiberscope. The stones in 9 patients with lower ureteral calculi were removed by a 5Fr probe and the rigid ureteroscope. Although small residual stones were observed in 15 patients (43%), all the stones were fragmented satisfactorily except in two patients. The complications due to EHL were observed in eight patients (23%). The most frequent complication was the ureteral injury which was observed in 6 patients. In 2 of these patients the stone migrated out from the ureter. However, all the cases of ureteral injury were healed by the conservative therapy such as by indwelling the stent catheter without ureteral stricture.

The beneficial effects of thoracic duct drainage in HLA-1 haplotype identical kidney transplantation.

The beneficial effects of pre-treatment thoracic duct drainage on graft survival in living related kidney transplantation are presented. Since July 1980 lymphocyte depletion through thoracic duct drainage has been used as pre-treatment therapy in 39 HLA-1 haplotype identical living related kidney transplant patients. Thoracic duct drainage was maintained for 29 to 49 days (mean 36 days) before transplantation and 52 to 215 times 10(9) cells (mean 130 times 10(9) cells) were removed. Postoperative immunosuppression consisted of azathioprine and steroids. Actuarial graft survival was 100 per cent at 3 months, 97 per cent at 6 months through 2 years, 92 per cent at 3 years and 57 per cent at 4 years after transplantation. Patient survival was 100 per cent at 3 months, 97 per cent at 6 months through 3 years and 86 per cent at 4 years. Pre-treatment thoracic duct drainage maintained for more than 28 days could have a significant role on the improvement of the graft survival in HLA-1 haplotype identical kidney transplantation.

[Descent of right renal vein--a case report].

Renal descensus with the descent of right renal vein and ureteroureterostomy was carried out in a 61-year-old male patient. The patient had a 9 X 6 mm calculus in his right kidney and 2 cm long stricture in his right upper ureter that had been caused by the previous surgery for ureteral calculus. This operation, which was described by Gil-Vernet, provided excellent results without any complications.

[A case report of inverted papilloma of the posterior urethra].

Sixty-seven cases of inverted papilloma have been reported in many anatomical sites of urinary tract but only 9 cases involving the posterior urethra have been described in Japan. We report the 10th case of inverted papilloma of the posterior urethra in a 27-year-old male who complained of macroscopic hematuria. The lesion was diagnosed cystoscopically and treated by transurethral resection.
