3.Sleep and Schizophrenia.
Sleep Medicine and Psychophysiology 2011;18(2):67-71
Schizophrenia is a chronic, currently incurable, and devastating syndrome. Although sleep disturbances are not primary symptoms of schizophrenia, they are important aspects of schizophrenia. Difficulties initiating or maintaining sleep are frequently encountered in patients with schizophrenia. Many schizophrenics report low subjective sleep quality. Measured by polysomnography, increased sleep latency as well as reduced total sleep time, sleep efficiency, slow wave sleep, and rapid eye movement sleep latency (REM latency), are found in most patients with schizophrenia and appear to be an important aspect of the pathophysiology of this disorder. Some literatures suggest that worsening sleep quality precedes schizophrenic exacerbations. Co-morbid sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and restless legs syndrome (RLS), and sleep-disrupting behaviors associated with schizophrenia may lead to sleep disturbances. Clinicians should screen the patient with sleep complaints for primary sleep disorders like OSA and RLS, and carefully evaluate sleep hygiene behaviors of all patients with schizophrenia who complain of sleep disturbances.

5.An Analysis of 342 Forensic Autopsies (1987~1989).
Korean Journal of Pathology 1993;27(3):249-255
The post-mortem investigation (PI) system in a jurisdiction varies greatly with its lagal and social system and culture. Korean PI system considred as "judical autopsy prime" is not well astablished. To develop our own system, it is neccessary to overview the forensic autopsis performed in Korea. Three hundred forty two forensic autopsies were performed prospectively, every 7 to 15 days among the cases of National Institute of Scientific Investigation (NSI), Ministry of Internal Affairs, during the period from October, 1987 to March, 1989. Cases were those registered to NISI on the author's duty day, not selected or rejected. For each case, autopsy protocols, autopsy reports and police's investigation reports were reviewed. The postmortem hours prior to autopsy were about 60 hours in average, mainly due to the defective PI system. The commonest cause of death(COD) among the natural deaths was the circulatory diseases, followed by diseases f the digestive system. As to the manners of death(MOD), the proportion of the natural deaths was now, comparing to those reported in America and Japan, partly because of our PI system where the public prosecutors determine whether autopsy is necessary on the particular area or not. For the proper application of medical knowledge to the practice of law, the independent institute and qualified specialist for the forensic medicine are mandatory.

8.Chronological Observation on Tissue Reaction to Silk Sutures.
Korean Journal of Pathology 1985;19(2):156-159
Silk is one of the most common sutures in surgical operations, because it is easy to handle and apply the proper tension in tissues. It produces little but appreceable foreign body reaction, when applied in tissues. With 38 tissues from cases of vasovasostomy, who had different time lapsed, the chronological reaction of tissues are made in four stages. It can be a guide for the determination when a silk suture is introduced in tissue. And, there is a general agreement in that, though silk is classified as non-absorbable, it is fragmented and absorbed during a period of years. However, four case over 7 years, where the silk filaments maintain their shape and are still shining, are observed.
