5.Aplasia of the Optic Nerve.
Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 1973;14(2):121-123
We often see hypoplasia of the optic disc in the literatures, but aplasia of the optic nerve is a rare condition. An orphan child of unknown age(9 month of bone age) was found to have an aplsia of optic disc and absence of retinal vessels. In addition she had a slight rise of intraocular pressure in two occassions. Besides her ocular conditions, she didn't have and other physical anomaly.

OBJECTIVES: The retinoid-related orphan receptor A (RORA) gene has been reported to have an impact on circadian rhythm regulation. In this study, we analyzed the relationship between the RORA gene polymorphism and diurnal preference in Korean young adults. METHODS: A population of 504 young adults was included in the study. All subjects were given and completed a 13-item composite scale for morningness (CSM). The RORA gene rs11071547 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) was genotyped by PCR-based methods. RESULTS: CSM score was not associated with genotype or allele carrier status of the RORA rs11071547 SNP. CONCLUSION: This result indicates that the RORA rs11071547 SNP does not play a role in diurnal preference.

BACKGROUND: Effective evaluation of an article's scientific merit requires familiarity with the methodology described, especially when quantitative techniques, such as statistical procedures, are invoked to clarify research findings or to summarize data. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to describe the frequency with which various statistical concepts were reported in journals important to dermatology. From these results, dermatologists can identify the major statistical skills needed to critically evaluate their literature. METHODS: All 376 original articles of the Korean Journal of Dermatology(KJD) and the Annals of Dermatology(KAD) during 1990-1994 were chosen for review. Each article was re-viewed to determine the statistical content. RESULTS: The two most commonly used statistical techniques in the two journals were mean and standard deviation. The t-test was the next most frequently used statistical technique in the reviewed journals, followed by non-parametric, chi-square test, orphan p, ANOVA, and correlation/regression. CONCLUSION: These results indicate the need for wider education about the use of descriptive and basic comparative statistics. It is impossible to evaluate the dermatological literature critically without these skills.

8.Overseas adoption in Korea.
Korean Journal of Pediatrics 2009;52(4):410-416
In Korea, overseas adoption has been practiced for more than 50 years. Initially, overseas adoption began with the objective to provide permanent homes for Korean war orphans, including mixed-blood children. From 1953 to 2007, about 160,000 Korean children were placed worldwide through overseas adoption and approximately 70,000 children were adopted in Korea. During that period, Korea developed into one of leading industrial countries in the world and the family norms changed dramatically. Since 1989, the Korean government has made diverse efforts to increase domestic adoptions and to support adopted families through the revisions to Korea's Child Welfare Law. However, it is not enough to reduce overseas adoptions rapidly because the Korean government's economic support for adopted families is not adequate and Korean sentiments regarding adoption have not changed. Being an international adoptee is a unique experience, involving dissimilarities of race, ethnicity, and culture. Clearly, it is very important for us to focus on placing Korean children in the best possible environment. Therefore, Korea must make diverse efforts to reduce overseas adoptions and to encourage domestic adoption. First, Korean society has to try to reduce the number of children who need out-of-home care. Second, the Korean government and people should make an effort to increase domestic adoptions, including adoptions of disabled and older children. Finally, the Korean government and adoption agencies have to provide professional pre-adoption and post-adoption services for international adoptees and adoptive parents.

Journal of the Korean Child Neurology Society 2003;11(2):335-342
PURPOSE: A clinical trial cannot be adequately interpreted without information about the methods used in the design of the study and the analysis of the results. We would like to evaluate trends in statistical methods and describe the frequency with which various statistical techniques are reported in the Journal of Korean Child Neurology Society. METHODS: We reviewed 288 original articles published in the Journal of Korean Child Neurology Society from 1993 to 2003 to assess the statistical methods. RESULTS: The number of cross-sectional study was 232(80.6%) articles and that of animal study was 45(15.6%) articles but Cohort study was only eleven(3.8%) articles. One hundred twenty seven(44.1%) articles used no statistical methods or descriptive statistics only, frequency of which decreased yearly and 84 articles(29.2%) used T-test, frequency of which increased yearly. Seventy two(25%) articles used contigency tables and twenty three(8.0%) articles used ANOVA. Orphan P where no statistical methods had been specified and only the P value given was presented in 19 articles(6.6%) which decreased yearly. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that medical articles published in the Journal of Korean Child Neurology Society, 1993-2003, were short of their expected quality and the validity of statistical methods used appears to be seriously compromised in this period and has much to be done to improved the current situation. It is concluded that a basic training in biostatistical methods, more consultation of medical investigators with statistician or other experts, careful review by someone in biostatistics or research design before accepting a manuscript are needed.

10.Descriptive Psychiatry and the Development of Diagnostic Criteria in the History of Child Psychiatry and Phenomenological Descriptive Psychiatry.

Journal of the Korean Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry 2015;26(1):1-11
Phenomenology has been developed by philosophers like Kant and Husserl since the late 18th century. Jaspers, a German psychiatrist, adopted it into psychopathology studies and accumulated data by closely observing and recording the patients' symptoms and signs. Among descriptions done even before the psychopathology or diagnostic criteria of disorders in the field of child psychiatry was established, we can find exact and valuable descriptions matching the autism spectrum disorder or attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder. The diagnostic criteria of modern childhood psychiatric disorders were established based on these grounds. Phenomenological/descriptive methods in various psychiatric fields lead to medical study methods for social phenomenon such as oiettolie, hikikomori, and internet game addiction. Since Romanian orphans were adopted to the western world, descriptive studies along with neurobiological studies on the influence of stimulus deprivation on emotional and physical development are being conducted. While phenomenology, which was adopted by Jaspers to verify psychopathology, was developed mainly by observation and description, recent studies are explaining such descriptive phenomena even at the synapse level due to advances in neurobiology. Although phenomenological/descriptive psychiatry, describing precise and detailed experiences of patients, is less applied nowadays among modern study methods, we must remember that such descriptions may lead to biological studies and provide evidence to improve the accuracy of choosing and applying treatment methods.
