Primary small cell carcinoma of urinary bladder is a rare but aggressive disease with poor prognosis and a high mortality rate. It accounts for less than 1 % of all the primary cancers seen in the urinary bladder. Diagnosis and management of this entity poses a challenge to the clinician due to the lack of a standardized protocol for its treatment. Herein we discuss primary small cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder in its entirety.

The increased application of the da Vinci robotic platform (Intuitive Surgical Inc.) for microsurgery has led to the development of new adjunctive surgical instrumentation. In microsurgery, the robotic platform can provide high definition $12{\times}-15{\times}$ digital magnification, broader range of motion, fine instrument handling with decreased tremor, reduced surgeon fatigue, and improved surgical productivity. This paper presents novel adjunctive tools that provide enhanced optical magnification, micro-Doppler sensing of vessels down to a 1-mm size, vein mapping capabilities, hydro-dissection, micro-ablation technology (with minimal thermal spread-$CO_2$ laser technology), and confocal microscopy to provide imaging at a cellular level. Microsurgical outcomes from the use of these tools in the management of patients with infertility and chronic groin and testicular pain are reviewed. All these instruments have been adapted for the robotic console and enhance the robot-assisted microsurgery experience. As the popularity of robot-assisted microsurgery grows, so will its breadth of instrumentation.

Hemospermia is not an uncommon disease and may affect the sperm motility. But the research about sperm motility in hemospermia is rare. So we studied the change of sperm motility between control group and patients with hemospermia and also studied the change of sperm motility between patients with hemospermia and those whose hemospermia was improved, the change of sperm motility between control group and artificially induced hemospermia group. We observed that the sperm motility in patients with hemospermia was decreased than that of control group, and that, as hemospermia being better, sperm motility was improved. We also observed that sperm motility in artificially induced hemospermia was decreased. The results provide that hemospermia has an effect on decreasing hemospermia motility.

The frequency of a bladder foreign body in the female is lower than in the male, and bladder stones attached to foreign bodies such as non-absorbable suture material are not common. Moreover, vesicovaginal fistulas due to migration or puncture of suture materials into the bladder are rare. In this report, we present a case of bladder stone and vesicovaginal fistula formation in a 29-year-old female patient who had been treated with the McDonald operation for an incompetent internal os of the cervix (IIOC) during pregnancy. The patient was successfully treated by cystoscopic removal of the bladder stone with suture material and conservative treatment for the vesicovaginal fistula.

An intratesticular simple cyst is a rare lesion. The pathogenesis of such lesions is uncertain. Clinically, an intratesticular simple cyst may be difficult to differentiate from a cystic neoplasm. However, preoperative diagnosis is possible using ultrasonography (US). Testis-sparing surgery with simple enucleation of the cyst has a favorable outcome. We report an intratesticular simple cyst in a 48-year-old male who had a non-tender cystic mass in the right testis for 2 years. The diagnosis was made by preoperative US. The patient underwent a testis-sparing surgery. After simple excision of the cyst, histological examination revealed a simple cyst lined by ciliated cuboidal and columnar epithelium.

Prostate cancer is usually managed by androgen deprivation therapy after failure of primary treatment. However, such therapies are only temporarily effective in prostate cancer patients, and the most patients experience the progression to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Docetaxel chemotherapy is conventional effective treatment for CRPC but has many adverse effects. In CRPC patients, treatment decisions were not typically base on the recognitions of inter-individual differences. Therefore, there are growing interests for precision medicine in CRPC. In this review, we summarized the precision medicine such as candidate target genes and potential therapies in CRPC.

목 적 : 국내의 야뇨증 아동들을 대상으로 발달학적 및 임상적 특성에 대하여 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 318명의 야뇨증 아동의 부모가 임신 및 출산력, 소아 청소년의 발달력 및 의료과거력에 대한 반구조화된 설문지와 아동청소년 행동평가척도(Korean Child Behavior Checklist : 이하 K-CBCL)를 작성하였다. 93명의 정상아동이 대조군으로 선정되었다. 결 과 : 임신 및 출산력을 비롯한 발달력 상 야뇨증 환아들이 정상 아동에 비해 낮소변과 밤소변을 가린 평균월령이 유의하게 늦은 것으로 평가되었다. 환아군에서 야뇨증의 가족력이 있는 경우는 49.2%로 대조군(5.9%)에 비해 높은 것으로 나타났다. 주간에 유뇨 증상이 있는 경우는 환아군에서 41.3%로 대조군(7.5%)에 비해 유의하게 높았다. 수면과 관련된 변인에 있어서도 야뇨증 아동들이 정상 아동에 비해 수면 문제가 더 많은 것으로 평가되었다. 본 연구에서는 야뇨증 아동들의 42.6%가 병원에서 약물 치료를 받은 경험이 있는 것으로 나타났고 67.7%에서는 한방 약물 치료를 경험했다는 결과가 나왔다. 반면 경보기를 사용한 행동치료의 경험은 0.4%로 지극히 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 결 론 : 본 연구에서는 야뇨증 환아들에서 유전적 소인이 높고 발달 지연의 가능성이 있다는 결과가 나왔으며, 이는 신경발달학적 장해로서의 야뇨증을 지지하는 소견으로 볼 수 있겠다. 국내의 치료자들은 경보기를 이용한 행동치료보다는 약물치료를 선호하는 것으로 나타났다.

From December 1991 to March 1992, 34 anejacuratory patients with spinal cord injury underwent 90 of electric stimulations with Seager NRH model 12. The average patient age was 43.5 years with a range of 23 to 48 years. The level of cord injury was cervical in 7, thoracic in 6, lumbar in 11, lumbosacral in 7 and conus medullaris in 3. The average number of electric stimulation per a patient was 2.65 with a range of 1 to 4. The average voltage and amplitude per a stimulation were 17.72 volts and 309. 89 mAmp with ranges of 5 to 25 volts and 50 to 500 mAmp. The total and motile sperm number were evaluated microscopically and analyzed statistically by paired t-test according to the frequency of electroejaculation, level of cord injury and voiding pattern. The results were obtained as follows. 1. An overall success rate of electroejaculation was 85.3% among 34 patients and 82.2% among 90 electric stimulations. 2. The total and motile sperm number per a stimulation were not correlated the frequency of electric stimulation, level of cord injury and voiding pattern. 3. Complications occured in 10 cases; severe low abdominal pain in 5, hypertension in 2, sweating in 1, headache in 1 and neck stiffness in 1. All the copmlications subsided spontaneously within 5 to 10 minutes after transient interruption of the electric stimulation. In summary, rectal probe electroejaculation is an accepted safe means of procuring sperm from spinal cord injury patients with ejaculatory incompetence. However very poor sperm motility was found and it was not related with the frequency of electroejaculation, level of cord injury and voiding pattern. Further investigation would be needed to conclude and to identify the reasons for impaired sperm motility.
