3.Studies on the inflammatory Nodular Diseases of the Legs.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1975;13(1):33-39
Inflammatory nodular vascular diseases of the legs have been classified as severah distinctive entities based on their minor clinical and pathological variations. They have so many common features which often make the differential diagnosis difficult or impossihIe that reevaluation of these diseases is one of the important problems in the dermatologic field. The author studied the clinical and pathological relationship of those diseases in 86 patients including 70 cases of erythema nodosum, 7 of erythema induratum, 3 of panniculitis, and 6 of nodular vasculitis. The results are as follows; l. Erythema nodosum, erythema induratum and nodular vasculitis are most common. In the spring and patient are most often in their twenties. 2. Common to all, females are more commonly affected than males. 3.Erythema nodosum, erythema induratum and nodular vasculitis reveal no definite difference in their clinical pictures and laboratory findings. 4. Erythema nodosum, erythema induratum and nodular vasculitis are founded to be assoeiated with mostly streptococcal infection and/or tuberculosis; panniculitis is associated mainly with streptococcal infection.5. In histopathological findings, tubercle formation and caseation necrosis are more marked in erythema induratum than in erythema nodosum and nodular vasculitis. 6. The panniculitis is characterized by inflammation of the small sized vessels in. subcutaneous tissues; Nodular vasculitis reveals its main lesion in the large sized. Vessels of lower dermis. In erythema nodosum and erythema induratum, small. And medium-sized vessels are involved in subcutaneous tissue.

5.Ehlers - Danlos Syndrome Occured in Two Generations.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1973;11(3):193-196
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a heritable disorder of connective tissue by autosomal dominant mode, is very rare disease in this country. Authors described a typical case in 39 years old woman who had a daughter of 6 years old also affectect by this disorder. The patient had the characteristic hyperelasticity of the skin and hyperextensibility of the jonts especially at metacarpophalangeal joint of the hands. She also revealed hyperterolism and aortic insufficiency on X-ray and E.C.G. examination.

7.Compartive Accuracy of the SRK II, SRK/T and Holladay Formulas for Intraocular Lens Power Calculation in Severe Myopic Eyes .
Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 1998;39(11):2635-2638
The predictive accuracy of the SRK II, SRK/T and Holladay formulas was evaluated in 22 eyes with sever myopia who had phacoemulsification and implantaton of posterior chamber IOL without suture. These patients were followed up for at least 6 months postoperatively. Correlation coefficient between the predicted refraction and actual refraction was 0.57(P<0.01) in the eyes using the SRK/T, 0.566(P<0.01) in the Holladay and (0.06(P=0.791) in the SRK II. The mean absolute error in the SRK/T 0.85 was smaller than that of the Holladay 1.04 and the SRK II1.08(p<0.05). The percentage of the eyes with absolute error within 1D was 68% in the SRK/T, 68% in the Holladay and 53% in the SRK II, but there was no statistically significant difference between them(p>0.05). The percentage of the eye with hyperopic shift(more hyperopic actual refraction than the predicted refraction) was 77% in the SRK II, 77% in the SRK/T and 86% in the Holladay, but there was no statistically significant difference between each formula(p>0.05). In conclusion, the SRK/T has the better predictive accuracy than the SRK II and Holladay in severe myopia and hyperopic shift tends to occur with the application of all three formulas.

8.TCA chemical peeling.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1993;31(1):1-8
Tricholroacetic acid (TCA) chemical peeling is an effective, versatle and safe therapeutic method for patients with pigmentary disorders, acne scars and aging skin. With an experienced and skilled operator, the associated complications are rare and tend to be mild. No. ystemic toxicity is known to be induced by TCA. We observed the effect of TCA chemical peeling, evaluated by 242 patients themselves with melasma, freckles, senile lentgines, pigmented nevi, seborrheic keratosis, skin tags or acne scars. The patients evaluated TCA peeling as excellent for the treatment of seboirheic keratosis, pigmented nevi, skin tags and acne scars, and as selectively recommendable for the treatment of melasma, freckles and senile lentigines.

Journal of the Korean Neurological Association 1998;16(3):271-274
Blood flow velocity changes induced by the focal brain activation can be assessed by using Transcranial Doppler sonography (TCD). To explore the hemispheric dominant hemodynamic effect by performing calculation, we applied TCD technique to detect cerebral blood velocity asymmetry. METHODS Twenty healthy right-handed subjects were tested. We measured mean flow velocities (MFV) in the middle and posterior cerebral arteries (MCA, PCA). Photic stimulation was given separately as a control task for calculation. RESULTS While the photic stimulation increased the blood velocity only in PCAs, performing calculation increased the velocity in MCAs. Right-left difference was noted by performing calculation with greater increase in left MCA (right: 8.8 %; left: 21.2 %). CONCLUSION Application of TCD enabled us to measure the hemodynamic changes supporting the left hemispheric dominance of calculation task. Futhermore, increase in non-dominant right hemisphere suggests the functional interaction of cerebral activity.
