2.Perinatal Hypoxic-lschemic Brain Injury: MR Findings.
Journal of the Korean Radiological Society 1994;31(3):405-410
PURPOSE: To characterize the MR findings of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury and to assess the value of the MR imaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS: SE T1 -, T2-weighted, and IR brain MR images of 44 infants and children with the past history of perinatal hypoxic insults were reviewed. Abnormal brain MR findings of 8 patients with birth history of prematurity and 36 patients with birth history of full-term/posterm including 7 with severe anoxic insult history, were compared in regard to the location and the character of the lesions RESULTS: MRI demonstrated the followings;(1)abnormal signal intensity lesions of subcortical and/or deep cerebral white matter, cortex, and deep gray matter, (2)atrophy of the cerebral white matter, cortex and corpus callosum, with/without ventriculomegaly, and (3)delay in myelination. Periventricular and deep white matter lesions were demonstrated in the prematurity, the deep white matter lesions and/or subcortical white matter lesions in the term/post-term, and deep gray matter lesions in the 7 patients with severe anoxic insults history. CONCLUSION: MR imaging was useful in the diagnosis of the hypoxic-ischemic brain injury, and the white and gray matter lesions were correlated with the time of the injury and the severity of hypoxic insult.

The results of alpha-acetyldigoxin(Dioxanin(R)) administration in 21 patients with congestive heart failure were as follows. Alpha-acetyldigoxin is a new oral preparation of cardiac glycoside derived from lanatosid C. 1. For rapid digitalization in 2-3 days, the initial dose was 1.2 to 2.6mg (average 1.96mg). For medium-fast digitalization in 4 days, the loading dose was 2.0 to 3.2mg (average 2.7mg). For slow digitalization 0.1 to 0.4mg was required for 5 to 6 days without loading dose. The maintenance dose was 0.1 to 0.4mg (average 0.33mg) daily. 2. The therapeutic effect of acetyldigoxin was excellent in 15 cases (71%), good in 4 cases (20%) and stationary in 2 cases (9%). 3. Side effects were observed in 2 cases with usual dosage regimen. One accidental case who took single dose of 4mg(20 tablests) developed supraventricular tachycardia with varying degree of atrioventricular block, ventricular bigeminy and premature beat but recovered completely after 6 days.

4.Three Cases of Oral Lichen Planus Treated with Topical Tacrolimus.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 2006;44(4):521-523
Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a painful chronic inflammatory condition, that is often resistant to many therapeutic approaches, including immunosuppressive agents. Topical tacrolimus has recently been recognized as a safe and effective remedy in the treatment of OLP. We, rerein, describe 3 patients with oral lichen planus, who showed a substantial improvement after the use of topical tacrolimus ointment (0.1%). This topical agent was well tolerated in all 3 patients and could be used an effective medicine in controlling oral lesions of lichen planus.

7.Persistent Mullerian Duct Syndrome in a Boy with Transverse Testicular Ectopia: a Case Report.
Korean Journal of Urology 1998;39(11):1158-1160
Persistent mullerian duct syndrome is characterized by the presence of mullerian structures in male subiects with normal penile and scrotal development. A deficiency of activity of a mullerian inhibiting substance during gestation is believed to be responsible for this syndrome. To date approximately 150 cases of persistent mullerian duct syndrome have been reported and the syndrome of transverse testicular ectopia with persistent mullerian duct structures is much rarer. In Korea, this is the fourth case to be reported. We report a case of persistent mullerian duct syndrome with transverse testicular ectopia in a 7 month-old-boy. Both testes were in the right side of scrotum but no epididymises were found there, which resulted in the disruption of normal relationship between the was and testis. Regarding there was no fertility, mullerian duct structures were removed.

Tibric acid is a new oral hypolipidemic agent with the chemical name of 2-chloro-5(3,5-dimethyl piperidinosulfonyl) benzoic acid. The results of tibric acid administration in 22 patients with primary hyperlipidemia were as follows. 1) Serum triglyceride level was significantly decreased in 84.6% of 22 cases with an average 43.9% decrease in serum triglyceride. 2) Serum cholesterol level was decreased in 59.1% of 22 cases with an average 15.8% decrease in serum cholesterol. The decrease in serum cholesterol level was not significant. 3) It seemed that there were significant falls in the serum triglyceride of the hyperlipoproteinemia type IV and IIb patietns and in the serum cholesterol of type IIa patients 4) The side effects of tibric acid were indigestion, loose stool and anorexia. There was no side effects in 63.6% of cases.

Tuberculous spondylitis is not rare disease. Today the posterior instrumentation and posterior or posterolateral fusion concomitant with the anterior decompression and anterior interbody fusion have been used for the treatment of spinal tuberculosis. The authors experienced a case of tuberculous spondylitis complicated with descending aortic pseudoaneurysm. An aneurysm is defined as a localized dilatation of an artery that is at least one-half the size greater than is expected for that artery. Pseudoaneurysm occurring after previous operation, trauma, and infection. Erosion of the thoracic aorta with the development of an fistula in the presence of infection is an unusual and difficult problem to manage. We report a case and review related articles briefly.

Korean Journal of Urology 1999;40(6):734-739
PURPOSE: To establish normal reference ranges of urinary flow rate related to age, body surface area and voided volume in normal Korean pediatric females, uroflowmetry was performed and analyzed statistically. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Uroflowmetry was performed on total 270 normal pediatric females who ranged in age from 4 to 12 years(mean+/-SD: 7.23+/-1.97 years). The height and weight were measured then body surface area was calculated by Mosteller`s formula. The uroflow data(peak and average flow) were grouped by age(4 to 6, 7 to 9 and 10 to 12 years old) and body surface area( 1.1 and<1.1 m2) then plotted in volume-related nomograms. RESULTS: Mean values of peak and average flow rates were 13.33+/-4.44 & 7.51+/-2.6, 14.01+/-5.22 & 7.76+/-3.15, 20.40+/-6.84 & 10.89+/-3.97 ml/sec in each age group, and 13.57+/-4.87 & 7.61+/-2.96, 20.14+/-6.44 & 10.65+/-3.79 ml/sec in each body surface area group, respectively. Flow rates were increased significantly with voided volume, age and body surface area. Body surface area was found to be a more reliable index than age in the establishment of nomograms(p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Nomograms of peak and average flow rates of normal Korean pediatric female were presented. These may be useful for diagnosing lower urinary tract disturbances in pediatric female over a wide range of age, body size and voided volumes.
