2.Aneurysmal Bone Cyst Recurred in The Neck of Femur
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1972;7(4):485-488
A case of aneurysmal bone cyst is reported in a 23 years old male, who complained of pain and tenderness on the right lateral aspect of thigh, This case had been treated with radical curettage and autogenous bone graft, but eight months later the radiological evidence of recurrence was present. So he was reoperated and he has been recovered relatively gradually, Roensgenograms of 7 montbs duration after reoperation showed abundent new bone formtion and no evidence of recurrence.

3.Ewing's Sarcoma: A Case Report of Ewing's Sarcoma
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1972;7(4):473-476
Ewing's Sarcoma is a rapidly growing malignant neoplasm that arises from primitive cells of the bone marrow in young persons. This case, a seventeen year-old male, complained of pain and swelling on the both knee. He had been treated under the impression of osteomyelitis at several local clinics. Clinically, malaise and high fever were continued during admission period. Microspically it was confirmed as Ewing's Sarcoma and then he was discharged. Presently he is under the radiation therapy.

Journal of the Korean Society of Coloproctology 1998;14(4):761-766
Fifty four patients who received closed hemorrhoidectomy were randomized into two parallel groups and treated with Venitol(R)(a micronized flavonoidic fraction containing diosmin 450 mg and hesperidin 50 mg) (group 1) or placebo (group 2). Venitol(R) was administered at the dosage of three toblets b.i.d. the first four days and two tablets b.i.d following three days. Postoperative analgesia and laxative prescription as well as hospital stay were same in two groups. Though there is no difference of symptoms at D1, improvement of symptoms of complications was greater in group 1 than in group 2 at D18. The clinical severity of postoperative spot-bleeding, pain and anal discharge diminished in both groups but to a greater extent in group 1 (P<0.005). There was no side-effects in using Venitol(R). In summary, Venitol(R) is effective in reducing complications after hemorrhoidectomy.

6.Sleep Disturbance and Cancer.
Sleep Medicine and Psychophysiology 2013;20(1):10-14
Sleep disturbances are commonly encountered problems in cancer patients. Sleep has a role in maintenance of immunity, metabolism, and quality of life but little has been known about the prevalence, risk factors, and effects on prognosis of sleep disturbances in patients with cancer. Also little attention has been made on proper assessment and management of sleep disorders in these patients. Recently, there have been some reports that sleep disorders are related with development of many cancers such as breast, colorectal, prostate, and endometrial cancers. An intermittent hypoxia and a disruption of circadian rhythm are considered as one of the possible mechanisms of cancer developments. More aggressive evaluation and meticulous management of sleep disturbances in cancer patients are essential to improve quality of life as well as prognosis.

7.Event Free Survival after Acute Myocardial Infarction.
Korean Circulation Journal 1987;17(4):735-742
Survival after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is related to the number of diseased vessel, ejection fraction, extent of residual ischemic tissue, presence of ventricular arrhythmia. Because a variety of revascularization modalities are tried in recent years, the natural course after AMI seems to become difficult ot assess. From the experience of 129 cases of coronary angiography in AMI from Jan 1984 to Apr 1987, the factors related to invasive modality were analysed to evaluate the effect on the survival after AMI. The following results are obtained. 1) Single vessel disease and insignificant lesion were present in 60%, and multivessel disease comprised 40% in all group. 2) Patients were followed for a mean of 16.3 months and 2 cases(1.6%) expired suddenly and reinfarction developed in 6 cases(4.7%). 3) After exclusion of 4 cases taken CABG operation, the event free survival of all patients was 0.98, 0.90, 0.78, 0.78, 0.78 in double vessel disease, 0.94, 0.87, 0.87, 0.77, 0.51 in triple vessel disease. The survival was better in single vessel disease compared to multivessel disease (p<0.05), but no difference was present between double and triple vessel disease. 5) Event free survival in group with left ventricular end diastolic pressure(LVEDP) >16mm Hg was better than that of a group with LVEDP <16mm Hg. But no difference was present between group with ejection fraction <40% and group with ejection fraction >40%. From the above results, it can be concluded that the event free survival after mainly uncomplicated AMI in Koreans depends on the number of diseased vessel and LVEDP.

8.Incidence of Anti - Ro Antibodies in Patients with Systemic Lupus Crythematosus.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1987;25(2):209-212
We examined the incidence of anti-Ro antibodies with sera from 60 Korean patients with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE) by double immunodiffusion. Among these 60 sera tested, 31(51.7%) showed evident immunoprecipitations against Ro antigen on the Ouchterlony plates. Several recent studies indieate that the anti-Ro antibody occurs much less frequently in Occidental lupus patients(around 30%) than in Japanese lupus patients (50%). These data may be suggestive that the racial or ethnic baekground might be an important factor determining the serological, and perhaps the clinical features of SLE.

10.Radiological Evaluation of Posterior Cruciate Ligament Injury at Quadriceps Neutral angle
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1990;25(2):460-466
A method for exact evaluation of ligament integrity of the knee joint would be of clinical importance from the diagnostic point of view as well as from the desire to introduce objective measurement of stability either pre-and postoperatively, or before and after conservative treatment. Assessment of the posterior cruciate injury has been considered by numerous authors over the past decades. Even stress machine, such as Gonylaxometer, knee ligament arthrometer(KT-l000) and Genucome, have many problems such as soft tissue error, expansiveness and low popularity. Generally, orthopedic surgeons use passive tests, in which the displacing force is applied externally, to evaluate the integrity of the ligaments of the knee. Posterior tibial displacement of knee was measured at quadriceps neutral angle using a specially designed frame which minimized the rotational error to negate the quadriceps pulling effect. Posterior displacement of both sides of knee was measured in 15 patients who had posterior cruciate ligament injury and 40 adults who had normal knee. The following results were obtained. l. In the normal knee, the mean score of posterior tibial displacement was 3.0875mm in left, 2.8125mm in right each other and there was a mean of 1.05mm posterior displacement of tibia compared to the contralateral knee(range: 0–2.5mm). 2. More than 6mm displacement of lateral femoral condyle compared to the uninjured knee suggested posterior cruciate ligament injury. 3. This radiological measurement seems very efficient in detecting the posterior cruciate ligament instability of knee because of its simplicity, inexpensiveness and easy reproducibility with minimal error.
