1.Incidence of Anti - Ro Antibodies in Patients with Systemic Lupus Crythematosus.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1987;25(2):209-212
We examined the incidence of anti-Ro antibodies with sera from 60 Korean patients with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE) by double immunodiffusion. Among these 60 sera tested, 31(51.7%) showed evident immunoprecipitations against Ro antigen on the Ouchterlony plates. Several recent studies indieate that the anti-Ro antibody occurs much less frequently in Occidental lupus patients(around 30%) than in Japanese lupus patients (50%). These data may be suggestive that the racial or ethnic baekground might be an important factor determining the serological, and perhaps the clinical features of SLE.

7.Clinical Studies on Arrhythmias.
Korean Circulation Journal 1973;3(1):9-18
A clinical study was made on 189 cases of various types of arrhythmia diagnosed among 1,100 patients. Incidence of arrhythmia was 17.2% of the total cases (male 58.2%, female 41.8%). Of 189 cases of arrhythmias, 78(41.3%) had bundle branch block, 42(22.2%) atrial fibrillation, 18(9.5%) atrioventricular block, 15(8%) premature ventricular contraction, 6(3.2%) sinus arrhythmia, 6(3.2%) W.P.W. syndrome, 4(2%) premature atrial contraction, 3(1.6%) atrial flutter-fibrillation, 3(1.6%) ventricular bigeminy, 3(1.6%) intraventricular conduction defect, 2(1.1%) atrial flutter, 2(1.1%) nodal bigeminy, 2(1.1%) ventricular bigeminy, 1(0.5%) paroxysmal atrial contraction and 1(0.5%) A-V nodal rhythm, 1(0.5%) nodla premature contraction, 1(0.5%) paroxysmal atrial contraction and 1(0.5%) sinus arrest. Etiological diagnoses of patients with arrhythmia were rheumatic heart disease (21.7%), hypertensive heart disease (12.7%), arteriosclerotic heart disease (12.7%), thyrotoxic heart disease (1.6%), anemic heart disease(1.6%) congenital heart disease (2.6%), cerebral vascular accident (1.6%), essential hypertension (9%) cerebral arteriosclerosis (0.53%), cor pulmonale (2.1%). chronic myocarditis (1.6%), anemia (1.6%), chronic nephritis (1.6%), acute glomerulonephritis (0.53%) chronic hepatitis (1.1%), tuberculosis (4.2%), bronchiectasis (1.1%), leprosy (0.53%), epilepsy (0.53%) intoxication (2.6%) cardiac neurosis (11.6%) and unknown (8%). The cardinal symptoms consisted of palpitation, dyspnea, headache, edema, dizziness, cough, left chest pain. gastrointestinal complaints, chest discomfort (thightness), weakness and fatigability. The incidence of arrhythmia was highest in the 4 th decade.

8.Bone Metastasis of Malignant Melanoma: A case report
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1978;13(4):721-725
The following case report concerns a rare bone metastasis of malignant melanoma occurring in the 4th and 5th lumbar spines and adjacent iliac crests and sacrum. A 42-year-old woman was admitted with a 6 months history of severe lumbago ar right flank pain radiating to right lower extremity. Preoperative X-ray studies revealed stag horn stone in the right renal pelvis as spondylolisthesis of the 5th lumbar spine with bilateral isthmic defects. On physical examinations, dark brown colored nevus was noted at lower lumbar regio which was removed and subjected for biopsy. Surgical exploration demonstrated a melanoma metastasis to have invaded the spine process, lamina and transverse processes of the 5th lumbar spine, adjacent L4 and sacru and iliac crests. Surrounding soft tissues, however, were apparently normal. Postoperatively course of the patient seemed to follow a rapidly terminal clinical cours.

Plaster of Paris is an effective ancillary treatment in the surgery of infected cavities in bone. It is well tolerated and spontaneously absorbed over the period of weeks to months, being replaced by bone of normal architecture. When the antibiotics incorporated into plaster of Paris, the antibiotics are capable of prolonged local release in bactericidal concentrations. Therefore it is proposed that antibiotics loaded plaster of Paris might be a simple adjuvant technique after good surgical debridement for the treatment of bone infection. The authors carried out an experiment to study the effect of plaster of Paris containing antibiotics for a prevention of experimental osteomyelitis, using 45 rats, which were divided into 3 groups. In the Group 1, a defect was made at the proximal metaphysis of the tibia, inoculated by Staphylococcus aureus sensitive to Cephradine and Tobramycin and then filled with plaster of Paris pellet. In the Group 2, a defect was filled with Cephradine loaded plaster of Paris pellet. In the Group 3, a defect was filled with Tobramycin loaded plaster of Paris pellet. Then we observed the healing process of the bone defect in the point of view of the gross findings, radiologic findings and histologic findings at 4th, 8th and 12th week after operation. The results of this study were as follows:l. In the control Group;all 30 cases were infected. 2. In the Group 2;only 4 of 30 cases were infected. 3. In the Group 3;all 30 cases were not infected. 4. The plaster of Paris filled into the defect was absorbed continuously and stimulated the new bone formation.
