1.Gastrointestinal Motility Modulating Drugs.
Journal of the Korean Medical Association 2009;52(9):920-927
Gastrointestinal motility modulating drugs include all compounds which have pharmacological activity of modulating (stimulating or inhibiting) gastrointestinal motility. They are mainly used for the treatment of functional gastrointestinal diseases. Gastrointestinal motility modulating drugs include 5HT receptor agonists, antagonists, and antidopaminergic agents. Many new gastrointestinal motility modulating drugs are currently under investigation. The aims of this article are to review the mechanism of action, efficacy and side effects of the gastrointestinal motility modulating drugs.

8.Laparoscopic Surgery.
Journal of the Korean Medical Association 2008;51(9):833-837
Laparoscopic surgery describes the performance of surgical procedure with the assistance of a video camera and several other instruments. It is now being used in all surgical fields and especially operations for gastrointestinal diseases adopting a laparoscopic procedure in a relatively short period of time. Many benefits of minimally invasive surgery had been proved. With improvement in equipments, instrumentations, and surgical skills, it would be growing and be able to be approached for a more complex procedure. This paper briefly reviews the history, current status, and future of laparoscopic surgery.

9.How to Perform and Interpret Balloon Expulsion Test.
Journal of Neurogastroenterology and Motility 2014;20(3):407-409
The balloon expulsion test is a simple and useful method for investigating a defecatory disorder assessing the subject's ability to evacuate a simulated stool. However, there is no standard methodology and varying interpretations have been reported. This review discusses the techniques, interpretation and clinical utility of the balloon expulsion test.

10.Understanding the Rome IV: Functional Constipation and Anorectal Disorders.
Korean Journal of Medicine 2017;92(4):372-381
We used mainly the Rome diagnostic criteria to diagnose functional gastrointestinal disease (FGID). The revised Rome IV was announced in 2016. Rome IV is the recognition that a considerable overlap exists between some of the FGIDs and that they may exist as part of a spectrum, rather than discrete disorders. Based on this concept, the Rome IV criteria for functional constipation and anorectal disorders are newly revised. We review the background and content of the Rome IV diagnostic criteria and introduce the multidimensional clinical profile using clinical cases. These revised criteria will be helpful for adequately diagnosing and managing these patients in actual clinical practice.
