1.The Study of the Serum Electrolytes in the Normal Person.
Korean Circulation Journal 1977;7(1):9-13
We studied the serum electrolytes in the 727 normal persons who visited Busan University hosptial, Benedict Hospital and Maryknoll Hospital from 1970 to 1976. The results were as follows: 1. Mean value of the serum Na+ being measured in 729 normal persons was 138.7+/-6.2mEq/L and 140+/-6.5mEq/L in 450 male, while 136.8+/-6.6mEq/L in 279 female. 2. Mean value of serum Cl- being measured in 701 persons was 99.6+/-5.9mEq/L, and 99.7+/-6.0mEq/L in 437 male while 100+/-5.7mEq/L in 264 female. 3. Mean value of serum K+ being measured in 707 normal persons was 4.4+/-0.9mEq/L in 434 male, while 4.2+/-0.8mEq/L in 273 female. 4. Mean value of serum Ca+ being measured in 557 normal persons was 4.5+/-0.6mEq/L and 4.7+/-0.7mEq/l in 355 male, while 4.3+/-0.5mEq/L in 202 female. 5. Mean value of serum phosphorus being measured in 94 normol persons was 4.2+/-0.6mg%, and 4.1+/-1.0mg% in 65 male, while 4.5+/-1.5mg% in 29 female.

2.Histologic Correlation of Ultrasonic Layers of Surgically Resected Gastric Wall.
Journal of the Korean Radiological Society 1994;31(2):295-300
PURPOSE: To define the histologic correlation of the ultrsonic gastric wall layers of resected human gastric specimens. MATERIALS AND METHODS: UItrasound images of the gastric wall by using 5 or 7.5 MHz linear transducer were compared with the corresponding histologic sections of 30 surgically resected human gastric specimens. RESULTS: Five layers seen from within on ultrasound images of the normal gastric wall corresponded to (1) the acoustic interface between fluid bathing the surgical specimen and the mucosal surface and a portion of the superficial mucosa, (2) the deep mucosa including the muscularis mucosae and most of the superficial mucosa, (3) the submucosa plus the acoustic interface between the submucosa and the muscularis propria, (4) the muscularis propria minus the acoustic interface between the submucosa and the muscularis propria, and (5) the serosa and the subserosal tissue plus the acoustic interface between the serosa and the fluid bathing the surgical specimen. Ultrasonic findings in gastric carcinomas corresponded to their histopathologic findings. CONCLUSION: Histologic correlation of the ultrasonic gastric wall layers will provide us with a very useful and objective basis of gastric ultrasonography.

4.Psychiatry, Is It Now Okay?-Enlarging the Boundary of Psychiatry in the Neuroscience Era.
Journal of the Korean Society of Biological Psychiatry 2001;8(1):53-61
The authors, in this paper, addressed a variety of problems and difficulties which Korean psychiatrists should cope with. The surprising development of neurosciences, splitting of neuropsychiatry into neurology and psychiatry, easygoing attitude of psychiatrists, changes in the delivery system of health care and ill-balanced education of psychiary were listed as causes of or contributors to them. Social bias to psychiatry and regulations from outside are also considered as contributors. Psychiatric education, including medical school, residency training, continuing medical education and psychiatric textbooks, need to be changed in order to enlarge the boundary of psychiatry. Reestablishment of identity of psychiatry and psychiatrist is unavoidable, considering far-reaching new knowledge of neuroscience and gradually invisible borderzone between neurology and psychiatry. The other ways worth while to consider are : the expansion of psychiatrists' activities, development of medical behavioral science to a clinical specialty, creation of new psychiatric subspecialties, and additional training of psychiatric residencies in the primary medical care.

5.Obstruction of the Hepatic Portion of the Inferior Vena Cava
Journal of the Korean Radiological Society 1985;21(1):114-124
Five patients with obstruction of the hepatic portion of the inferior vena cava diagnosed by digital subtraction inferior vena cavography were reported. All of these patients, aged from 38 to 52, were female who had never used the oral contraceptives. Main collateral pathway of these patients was the central channels through ascending lumbar veins, internal and external vertebral plexuses, azygos-hemiazygos complex, and inferior vena cava itself above the obstructed segment.

Pulmonary artery sling is an uncommon and potentially lethal vascular anomaly that can produce airway obstruction. Despite the availibility of a corrective operation, the mortality rate remains very high due to the high incidence of associated obstructive anomalies of the tracheobronchial tree. We experienced a 70-day-old male infant who was admitted to our unit because of sudden dyspnea, cyanosis, coarse expiratory wheezing and inspiratory stridor. At first, he was treated with bronchodilator and steroid under the impression of infantile asthma, but the symptoms went on without interval change. We performed magnetic resonance imaging study followed esophagography and two dimensional echocardiography. Finally he was diagnosed as a vascular sling. We report this with a brief review and related literatures.

PURPOSE: It is agreed that tumor stage is the definitive prognostic indicator for patients with renal cell carcinoma. We investigated pathologic grade and cell subtype as another prognostic in each tumor stage. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We reviewed the medical records of 206 patients who underwent partial or radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma between January 1991 and June 1998. Renal cell carcinoma grade, stage and cell subtype (conventional [clear cell], papillary, chromophobe, sarcomatoid type) were evaluated using the 1997 Union International Contre Ie cancer (UICC) and the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) grading, TNM staging criteria and renal cell carcinoma classification. Kaplan -Meier survival curves were used to determine 5-year survival for all patient groups. Univariate analysis using log rank test was performed to evaluate the prognostic significance of TNM stage, Fuhrman nuclear grade, cell subtype and tumor size. We investigated pathologic grade and cell subtype with log rank teat whether those were another significant prognostic factors in each tumor stage. Multivariate analysis was performed to determine which factors had an independent impact on survival of patients with renal cell carcinoma. RESULTS: Univariate analysis revealed that TNM stage (p<0.001), pathologic grad (p<0.001) were the important prognostic indicators for renal cell carcinoma. Survival was affected significantly by tumor size when cutoff diameter for localized T1 lesions was 7cm but not 2.5cm. Pathologic grade had a significant impact on patient survival (p<0.0001). In the cell subtype chromophobe type had the best survival and sarcomatoid type had the worst survival though cell subtype did not appear to affect survival significantly (p=0.0583). Multivariate analysis revealed that N classification (p=0.009) and M classification (p=0.018) were the most important prognostic indicators for cell subtype (p=0.841) were not shown to have any independent impact on patient survival. In the group of localized disease(TXN0M0 stage) at the diagnosis, cell subtype had a significant impact on survival in T1(p<0.001), T2(p=0.01) and T3(p=0.029) and grade in T1(p=0.0016) and T3(p=0.0054). CONCLUSIONS: Pathologic grade and cell subtype were significant predictors of survival in each T stage of localized disease though they didn't have independent impact on the patient survival.
