Antimicrobial Effect of Uro-vaxom? in Catheter-Related Urinary Tract Infection: Sun Wook Kim, Byung Il Yoon, U Syn Ha, Dong Wan Sohn, Yong Hyun Cho; Korean J Urogenit Tract Infect Inflamm 2012;7(2):158-163. Published online October 31, 2012

Abstract PDF: Purpose: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a relatively common disease, and clinically it appears diversely like urethritis, cystitis, prostatitis, and acute pyelonephritis. E. coli which is the major causative microorganism of UTI, and accounts for 50% of hospital pathogens cultured in 40% of catheter-related UTI. We evaluated the preventive effect on UTI and inhibitory effect on complications of Uro-vaxom?, and investigate the effect of Uro-vaxom? in catheter induced UTI.
Materials and Methods: A comprehensive electronic search was conducted using the Medline database to identify all publications relating to Uro-vaxom? and catheter and UTI by using keywords Uro-vaxom?, catheter, catheterization, urinary tract infection, cystitis, bacteriuria, antimicrobial agents, intensive care unit.
Results: 227 literatures which were consistent with our purposes were searched; we intensively analyzed 26 literatures which were appropriate for our literature. All literature reported antimicrobial effects of Uro-vaxom?.
Conclusions: We identified that Uro-vaxom? had a preventive effect on UTI associated with E. coli to patients who had catheterization. (Korean J UTII 2012;7:158-163)

Factors of Progression to Chronic Infections from Acute Bacterial Prostatitis: Byung Il Yoon, Seol Kim, Tae Seung Shin, U-Syn Ha, Dong Wan Sohn, Yong-Hyun Cho; Korean J Urogenit Tract Infect Inflamm 2011;6(2):178-185. Published online October 31, 2011

Abstract PDF: "Purpose: We conducted a retrospective analysis of acute bacterial prostatitis (ABP) to evaluate the factors of progressing to chronic bacterial prostatitis (CBP) and inflammatory chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) from ABP. Materials and Methods: The clinical records of 480 cases compatible with a confirmed diagnosis of ABP from five urological centers between 2001 and 2010 were reviewed. We defined chronic infection (CI) as a progression to CBP and inflammatory CPPS after treatment of ABP in admission periods when followed-up at 3 months or more. Results were analyzed according to two groups: recovered without CI (group A, n=428) and developed to CI (group B, n=52). Results: Of the 480 ABP patients, 1.3% (6/480) progressed to CBP and 9.6% (46/480) progressed to inflammatory CPPS. The progression rate of CI was 10.9% (52/480). The factors that affected progress to CI were diabetes, prior manipulation, prostate volume, absence of cystostomy and urethral catheterization (p<0.05). Conclusions: The identification and characterization of influential factors may accelerate the development of preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for the treatment of CI from ABP."

Bilateral Vesicoureteral Reflux and Wilms' Tumor Combined with Urinary Tract Infection: Byung Il Yoon, Sung Dae Kim, Dong Wan Sohn, Sae Woong Kim, Yong-Hyun Cho; Korean J Urogenit Tract Infect Inflamm 2007;2(2):221-224. Published online October 31, 2007

Abstract PDF: Vesicoureteral reflux is a common condition in children. It may cause and maintain urinary tract infection, evaentually leading to progressive renal damage and end-stage renal disease. Wilms' tumor is the most common primary malignant renal tumor of childhood. There is no literature that vesicoureteral reflux combined with Wilms' tumor. We report rare case of bilateral vesicoureteral reflux combined with left Wilms' tumor.
