Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 1971;12(2):85-89
Here, we report 3 cases of mixed tumor of the lacrimal gland. The age of the patients were 43, 26 and 35 respectively. The two of these were male and one female. The most outstanding complaint was exopthalmos. A mass was palpated on the orbit and eye ball deviation in downward position was present in all cases. Pathologic findings were mixed tumor of the lacrimal gland with no evidence of malignancy. These tumors were well encapsulated and any evidence of involving bone and soft tissue was not found. Modified Kroenlein-Berke operation was performed and tumor mass was removed entirely with finger dissection in all cases. The vision was not improved but the cosmetic result was satisfactorr.

2.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.

Generalized lipodyst,rophy is characterized by generalized loss of body fat, and is asociated vith metabolic ahnormalities, including insulin resistance, hyperglycemia., and hypertriglyceridemia. like acanthosis nigricans, generalized lipodystrophy is a cutaneous marker of insulin re.istant diabetes. We report. herein a twenty year old female witti both classic generalized lipodystripin and acanthosis nigricans, in association with insulin resistant diabetes.

Sweet's syndrome is an important cutaneous sign of underlying myeloproliferative disorder. The majority of cases have occurred with acute leukemia, primarily of the myelogenous type. We described a case of Sweet's syndrome in a patient with myelodysplastic syndrome that preceded acute myelogenous leukemia by 9 months.

BACKGROUND: Passive smoking is an important worldwide public health issue. In many Korean studies, parental smoking has been reported to be associated with reduced pulmonary function in children. But few studies have evaluated the effects of passive smoking on pulmonary function in adults. Therefore, we looked into this association in the study. METHODS: Participants in the study included non-smoking, healthy men (n=46) and women (n=326) from rural Korea enrolled from June to December 2006. Exposure to passive smoking was assessed by a self-administered questionnaire, and standardized pulmonary function tests were performed. RESULTS: There were significant reductions in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1, % of predicted) and forced mean expiratory flow rate 25-75% (%) among the men exposed to passive smoke compared with those not exposed (55.7 vs 75.8, P=0.010; 33.9 vs 58.6, P=0.029, respectively). There were significant reductions in FEV1 among men exposed at both workplace and home compared with men exposed only at either workplace or home (42.8 vs 49.3, 64.6; P=0.034). No significant difference in pulmonary function was found between women exposed to passive smoke compared those not exposed. There were, however, reductions in FEV1 and FEV1/forced vital capacity among the women exposed at workplace. Regression analysis showed that passive smoking negatively affected lung function, which were not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke, particularly at the workplace, adversely affects pulmonary function in adults.

6.Hearing Disturbance in Primary Glaucoma Patients.

Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 1971;12(2):63-66
There were many instances in which glaucoma, esp. primary, combined with hearing disturbance. The etiology of these cases has not been known until now. We had 15 primary glaucoma patients for whom pure tone audiometry wa~ performed, and could find the hearing defect in high tone in 5 cases (1/3 among those patients). The audiometric curve was similar to that in the presbycusis, but severer in degree than that occured within the normal physiological aging process. The average age was 62.4 year in the group with the hearing defect, and 45.6 year in the group without the hearing defect. There were no relationship between the hearing defect and intraocular tension, visual field change, glaucomatous cupping, and duration of glaucoma. These results may support the opinion of the authors that the hearing disturbance in glaucomatous patients is related to the arterioscIerotic changes which aggrevate the presbycusis, and not related to glaucoma itself. On the otherhand, however, it is stilI impossible for us to rule out that the pleiotropic and multifactorial genetic factors may play as a common important role in the hearing disturbances and glaucoma. And further studies would be necessary for these problems.

8.The influence of miotics on the visual field..
Korean Journal of Ophthalmology 1987;1(1):52-58
This study reports the influence of miotics (pilocarpine) on the visual field by comparing two visual fields, one at the miotic state and the other at normal pupil size. The measurements from the Goldmann perimetry test of 10 ocular hypertensive eyes (7 patients) and 10 glaucomatous eyes (8 patients) were used. The visual field was analyzed using an Esterman grid for functional estimation and section paper for gross evaluation. The results were as follows; 1. A decrease in pupillary size eaused not only a decrease in the gross visual field but also a reduction in the functional visual field. 2. The pupillary size did not influence absolute scotoma.
