2.Congenital Uterine Cyst: A case report.
Korean Journal of Pathology 1996;30(10):954-956
I experienced a case of a congenital intramural cyst of the uterine fundus. On examination by light and electron microscope it was composed of a single layer of thin atrophied lining epithelium without secretory activity and was found to be derived from the paramesonephric duct. This case is presented with a brief review of the literature.

3.The Use of A Cast-Brace in the Treatment of Fracture of the Long Bone of Lower Extremities
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1976;11(3):419-426
The use of a cast-brace in the treatment of tibial fractures was first applied by the authors since 1964 in an attempt to prevent stiffness of the knee resulted from prolonged cast immobilization. The authors attempts on all 43 cases throughout the experimental period were proved satisfactory, among which, however, only a few case showed unwanted result such as delayed union in the early clinical experience.

4.An effect of immediate dentin sealing on the shear bond strength of resin cement to porcelain restoration.
The Journal of Advanced Prosthodontics 2010;2(2):39-45
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to determine differences in shear bond strength to human dentin using immediate dentin sealing (IDS) technique compared to delayed dentin sealing (DDS). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Forty extracted human molars were divided into 4 groups with 10 teeth each. The control group was light-cured after application of dentin bonding agent (Excite(R) DSC) and cemented with Variolink(R) II resin cement. IDS/SE (immediate dentin sealing, Clearfil(TM) SE Bond) and IDS/SB (immediate dentin sealing, Adapter(TM) Single Bond 2) were light-cured after application of dentin bonding agent (Clearfil(TM) SE Bond and Adapter(TM) Sing Bond 2, respectively), whereas DDS specimens were not treated with any dentin bonding agent. Specimens were cemented with Variolink(R) II resin cement. Dentin bonding agent (Excite(R) DSC) was left unpolymerized until the application of porcelain restoration. Shear strength was measured using a universal testing machine at a speed of 5 mm/min and evaluated of fracture using an optical microscope. RESULTS: The mean shear bond strengths of control group and IDS/SE group were not statistically different from another at 14.86 and 11.18 MPa. Bond strength of IDS/SE group had a significantly higher mean than DDS group (3.14 MPa) (P < .05). There were no significance in the mean shear bond strength between IDS/SB (4.11 MPa) and DDS group. Evaluation of failure patterns indicates that most failures in the control group and IDS/SE groups were mixed, whereas failures in the DDS were interfacial. CONCLUSION: When preparing teeth for indirect ceramic restoration, IDS with Clearfil(TM) SE Bond results in improved shear bond strength compared with DDS.

6.Preoperative Planning of Oblique Femoral Trochanteric Osteotomy by Geometric Analysis
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1995;30(5):1469-1480
Oblique single-plane trochanteric osteotomy, in which an oblique cut is made through the femoral trochanteric area and the bony fragments are rotated at the face of the cut in direct contact with each other, allows simulatenous correction of the femoral neck-shaft angle, femoral anteversion as well as flexion/extension effect. Only approximate methods of calculating the correction effects of this procedure have been introduced. Considering unique spatial orientation of femoral neck, we developed a rigorous method to calculate preoperatively the obliquity of the single-plane osteotomy and the amount of rotation required to achieve the target femoral conformation, through geometric analysis. The correction effect by oblique trochanteric osteotomy on the geometry of proximal femur was dependent not only on the amount of change of the neck-shaft angle and femoral anteversion but also on the preoperative neck-shaft angle and femoral anteversion themselves. The flexion/extesion effect was determined by the direction of the correction and the preoperative neck orientation. Computer graphic simulation study confirmed the validity of this method. A program written in QBASIC was introduced to make this complex calculation method more useful in the clinical practice.

Desmoid tumor is a type of fibromatosis usually arise in deep musculo-aponeurotic structures, primarily of the trunk and extremities. It is characterized by proliferation of fibroblastic tissue and does not metastasize but may be locally aggressive. Eventhough the surgical margin reveals clean, recurrence often occurs. To analyze the extent of the tumor and homodynamic characteristics exactly, we performed IV bolus CT. Desmoid tumors show peripheral rim enhancement on early phase scan and more strong, central enhancement on late phase IV bolus CT, which reflects abundant fibroblastic components of the tumor. We report two cases of pathologically confirmed desmoid tumor performed IV bolus CT.

8.The Effect of Photodynamic Therapy in BALB/-c Mice Adenocarcinoma in Homograft Model.
Korean Journal of Pathology 2000;34(7):481-487
Among the efficient cancer treatments, photodynamic therapy (PDT) is one of the therapies inducing rapid apoptosis of cancer cells while causing minimal damage to surrounding normal tissue. We studied the effect of PDT on the adenocarcinoma in BALB/-c mice of homograft model, and the following results were obtained. Apoptosis occurred up to 3 mm in depth from the surface in the first 1 hour after PDT applied, and subsequently the counts were increased in the deeper portion. A remarkable apoptosis observed up to 6 mm in depth shows that the light in use could not penetrate more than 6 mm of tissue. Tissue necrosis was identified in the deeper area of the tumor 6 hours later or thereafter. This necrosis seemed to occur as an indirect effect of vascular obstruction resulting from the damage of endothelial cells which was induced by selective collection of photosensitizer in the endothelial cells of newly forming vessels as well as in the cancer cells. These results indicate that the effective depth of PDT is greater than the depth of light penetration.

9.The Study of Changes in Arterial Blood Gas Finding with Time Interval.
Journal of the Korean Society of Emergency Medicine 2000;11(1):27-34
BACKGROUND: Arterial blood gas analysis are highly susceptible to preanalytic error due to improper method of obtaining or handling the blood sample before analysis. The error in measurement of blood gas analysis are loss of CO2 by exposure to atmospheric air, effect of anticoagulant itself, temperature difference between the experimental subject and the measuring electrode and metabolic change which occur between blood sampling and measurement. METHOD: To study the effect of the delay in estimation of blood gas and drawn blood on values of blood gas partial pressure and pH. Blood sample were divided into 2 groups according to the method of storage, group I stored at 24~25degrees C(room temperature) under anaerobic condition. ;group II stored at 0~4degrees C(refrigerator) under anaerobic condition. The samples were analyzed by time interval through 180 minutes in each group. RESULTS: The result were as follows: 1) PaO2 decreased significantly after 10 mins in group I, whereas it decreased significantly after 20 mins in group II. 2) PaO2 increased significantly after 20 mins in group I, whereas it increased significantly after 120 mins in group II. 3) pH decreased significantly after 60 mins in group I, whereas it decreased significantly after 120 mins in group II. 4) No significant changes of bicarbonate and SaO2 were noted in each group CONCLUSION: From above results, it would be advisable to analyze the sample in a short period of time or to store in a refrigerator when the measuring will be delayed. So we highly recommend that blood gas analysis should be performed as soon as possible after sampling, especially within 10 minutes.

10.Ectopic Umbilical Liver Associated with Intrauterine Fetal Death: An autopsy case.
Korean Journal of Pathology 1996;30(3):269-271
Ectopic liver in the umbilicus is very rare, and a few cases have been reported in the world. It is thought that an increased intraabdominal pressure resulting in entrapment of liver cell nests causes the presence of liver in the umbilicus. It relates to neonatal problem such as infection. We report a case of ectopic umbilical liver in a stillborn male of 28 gestational weeks. His mother discovered loss of fetal movement 2 days before admission, and intrauterine fetal death was diagnosed by ultrasonography. Grossly, the umbilical cord was markedly swollen. On cut section, a well circumscribed, oval round, tan-colored soft mass was noted within the cord. Histologically, it consisted of hepatic cords without bile ducts. The umbilical vessels were distorted by the ectopic liver, and contained thrombi. These findings suggest that ectopic umbilical liver results in the intrauterine fetal death
