Encrustation of biomaterials employed in the urinary tract remains a major problem resulting in obstruction or blockage of catheters and stents. Therefore, resistance to encrustation is a desirable feature of biomaterials employed in such devices. The novel assessment of biomaterial encrustation emp

## BACKGROUND. Recently, several reports have shown that immunohistochemical analysis using MIB-1 antibody, which recognizes Ki-67 (a human nuclear antigen expressed of proliferating cells), is a useful method for determining the proliferative activity of various cancers. In this study, the author
