2.The Study on the Chief Complaints and Completion of Referral Sheets of Patients Transferred to ER.
Journal of the Korean Society of Emergency Medicine 1999;10(3):363-369
We studied the contents of referral sheets of the patients transferred to DMC Emergency Center from Jan 1, 1999 to Jan 31, 1999. The study far the completion and chief complaints in the referral sheets shows the followings. 1. Examining the referral sheets status of disease, name and age record of 5 major items grade 0.92, the highest point, examining item and laboratorial record grade 0.72, dignosis record grades 0.38, and patients condition and diagnosis opinion record grade 0.10. 2, Name and age item had high completion score in referral sheets from local clinic and hospital for secondary referral level. For address item, however, local clinic scored 0.63 and hospital for secondary referral level scored 0.28, which showed statistically significant difference(P<0.001). 3. In the aspect of severity, name and age record leveled 0.94 to the non emergency patient, 0.92 to the emergency patient, 0.91 urgent patient, showed and no statistic significant difference. 4. The major 10 symptoms of the complaints were these the pain of abdomen and pelvis(25.2%), somnolence and stupor, coma(13.6%), headache(10.9%), and open wound of head(4.0%), ranked 10th common symptom level.

3.A Study of Antifungal Activity with Rumex japonicus Houttuyn.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1980;18(5):383-389
Rumex japonicus Houttuyn are ubiquitous plants, which are found in marshes or in wet areas. The root of Rumex japonicus Houttuyn has been used for the treatment of skin diseases including fungal infections of the skin since older times in Japan and China. This study was undertaken to investigate the antifungal activity of the alcoholbenzene extract of Rumex japonicus Houttuyn in vitro. During this experiment the extracts of Rumex japonicus Houttuyn were diluted seriaIly in the Sabouraud's dextrose agar and fungal mats or fungal suspensions of isolated strains of dermatophytes were inoculated into each medium containing different concentrations of test materials. Then their growth was observed for 2 weeks or 10 days at room temperature. (countinued...)

Korean Journal of Pathology 1998;32(2):150-152
Lymphoepithelial carcinoma is a rare subtype of undifferentiated carcinoma in the salivary gland. The incidence of lymphoepithelial carcinoma is about 0.4% among the patients with major salivary gland tumors. It has a racial preference; about 75% of the patients are of Mongolian ancestry. We report a case of lymphoepithelial carcinoma arising in the left parotid gland of a 52-year-old man. Grossly, the tumor was relatively well demarcated, gray-white, and solid. Microscopically, the irregular shaped syncytial tumor cell islands were evident within lymphoplasma cell-rich and desmoplastic stroma. The carcinoma cells had large vesicular nuclei and prominent nucleoli. The tumor invaded the surrounding salivary gland tissue. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) was demonstrated by in situ hybridization for EBV-encoded RNA-1 (EBER-1) and polymerase chain reaction for EBV nuclear antigen-1 (EBNA-1).

Pigmented neurofibroma, a variant of neurofibroma, has rarely been observed in patients with or without neurofibromatosis. Pigmented neurofibroma is characterized histologically by the coexistence of scattered melanin-laden cells and benign spindle cells with neural differentiation. We report a case of pigmented neurofibroma in a 22-year-old female patient.

We present our technique for reconstruction of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) using the quadrupled hamstring tendons with EndoButton(Acufex Microsurgical, Mansfield, MA). This paper describes the surgical technique of the procedures and reports the preliminary results in 10 patients with a more than 12 months follow-up. There were 8 males and 2 females ranging in age from 17 to 37 years (average 25 years). The average time from injury to operation was 3 weeks (range; 2 weeks to 4 weeks). Of ten patients, 6 were classified as an isolated tear, 2 were associated with lateral collateral ligament tears. A torn meniscus was present in 2 cases. We used one-incision technique. The results of these PCL reconstructions with a minimum follow-up of 12 months are as follows. Patients were evaluated preand postoperatively using the Lysholm, and Hospital for Special Surgery Knee ligament rating scales. Average knee ligament evaluation scores were Lysholm preoperative 48, postoperative 87.6; and Hospital for Special Surgery preoperatively 33.5, postoperative 88.8. We chose the semitendinosus and gracilis tendons with EndoButton fixation for PCL reconstruction for specific reasons: (1) No injury to the extensor mechanism and (2) Easy passage of the graft through the tibial tunnel. (3) The problem about the screw and patellar bone-tendon-bone can be resolved. (4) It preserves intact meniscofemoral ligament, some intact fibers of PCL bundle. (5) When rupture of the PCL is associated with ACL tear, each ligament should be reconstructed. In such a case, we preserve patellar tendon for reconstruction of the ACL, The technique presented here is not applicable to all individuals requiring PCL reconstruction but does provide significant advantages to those patients for whom it is utilized. Although the clinical results are very promising at this length of follow up, long-term study is required to evaluate our PCL reconstruction procedure more precisely.

The purpose of this investigation was to study the changes in the epiphyseal plate of growing mice by histological, histochemical and electron microscopic observation through the administration of radioactive isotope I which induced hypothyroidism. To confirm hypothyroidism induced, radioimmunoassay for triiodothyronine was carried out and the morphologic changes of thyroid gland were observed by a light microscope. Of the total of eighty ICR strain of mice, fifty received single intraperitoneal injection of 20ue/gm of radioactive isotope I which were dissolved in 0.2ml of saline. Thirty received single intraperitoneal injection of only 0.2ml of saline and these mice were used as control groups. At the end of first, second, third, fourth, sixth and eighth week after injection, both saline injected and I treated mice were sacrifised. The thyroid gland and epiphyseal plate being removed were stained with hematoxylin and eosin, alcian blue and with uranyl acetate lead citrate in each for histological, histochemical and electron microscopic studies, The results obtained are as follows: 1. The thickness of epiphyseal plate was narrowed in the I treated animals. In each zone of epiphyseal plate the cell size was reduced although the cell numbers of each cell column were not changed. This means that the reduction of thickness in the epiphyseal plate was due mainly to decreased cell size and scanty territorial matrix not to decreased cell number. 2. Alcianophility was markedly decreased ln proliferative zone, indicating that acid mucopolysaccharide diminished markedly or was absent in the proliferative zone. 3. In electron microscopic examination, the number of rough surfaced endoplasmic reticulum was decreased and their cisternae were narrowed. Decreasing tendency of dilatation and sacculation of cisternae, .reduced number of attached ribosomes on the endoplasmic reticulum, and atrophy of the Golgi apparatus with diminished number of its vesicles were noted, However glycogen particlea were accumulated. 4. The number and length of each trabeculae in the metaphysis just adjacent to the epiphyseal cartilage plate were reduced markedly, and occasionally chondrocytes which were not consumed by endochondral ossification were observed in the cartilage lattice.
