1.Establishing a Computerized Information System: Diagnostic test.
Journal of Korean Society of Medical Informatics 1997;3(2):107-114
The purpose of this research was to develop an information system for diagnostic tests regarding their purpose, method. and notification, and to provide people in the field with easy access to information by using CD-ROM title or data communication. The Joint Application Design Method which is popular in developing information systems was used. First the user requirements for the target system were gathered and analyzed through a survey of patient and nurses in a number of hospitals. Thus. the functions which were to be included were analyzed in details. A list containing all the required tests and their content was defined to be used as the database in the system. Focusing on making the searching procedure easy to use. the researchers defined the input and the output of the system to have for a user-friendly user interface. Searching functions using not only, a name of the test category or a test name itself, but also a disease name were added. Furthermore, the function of maintaining an updated database in an efficient way was also included. This system is useful in that it provides an efficient and effective way to search for any necessary information about diagnostic tests and an easy way to keep the updated database. Based on user and system requirement analysis. user-friendly interface. and the well-defined database. all of which were designed and implemented in this research. it is expected that an Internet-based diagnostic test information system can be developed in a near future.

Invasive infection of the Streptococcus bovis group in a neonate is rare. In cases reported to date, the pathogen of neonatal S. bovis infections is usually Streptococcus gallolyticus subsp. pasteurianus (S. bovis biotype II/2). Streptococcus lutetiensis (S. bovis biotype II/1) was identified using 16S rRNA and tuf gene sequence analysis of the isolates from blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of a fever-presenting 28-day-old male. Blood culture analysis was performed using automatic equipment (VITEK 2) and identified Streptococcus infantarius supsp. infantarius, yet we were unable to get accurate results from the CSF culture. The fever subsided on the second day of hospitalization, and the patient was discharged without neurologic complication after 14 days of antibiotic therapy. In this case, we were able to accurately identify the pathogen using molecular genetic methods. To our knowledge, this is the first case of late onset neonatal bacteremia and meningitis caused by S. lutetiensis.

4.Establishing Homepage for Basic Nursing Science Education: in the Nervous System of Human Body.
Journal of Korean Society of Medical Informatics 2000;6(4):57-63
In this study, we developed an educational content for learning the nervous system of human body which is one of the educational topics in basic nursing science. We also developed and operated Homepage program based on that content. This program was designed for providing learning contents consistently to the nursing students and nurses regardless of the education system or location. The strengths of the present study are as follows: 1) Learning contents of the study were systematically developed by the methodological research method, 2) The students who could access the program would be broadened because the program is internet-based, 3) The students and teachers could have effective communication via a visiting list or bulletin board. In the future, it is expected that similar internet based learning programs are developed continuously in many other areas in the basic nursing science as well as the nervous system of human body.

7.Valproate-induced Hyperammonemic Encephalopathy: A Case Report.
Brain & Neurorehabilitation 2013;6(2):86-89
Valproate is widely used because of broad spectrum of action, but it can produce an encephalopathy resulting from hyperammonemia even at the therapeutic range of valproate and is called as valproate-induced encephalopathy (VHE). Delay in recognition of VHE can result in the development of potentially life-threatening complications. Fortunately, it is reversible with discontinuing valproate. A 65-year-old man became progressively lethargic with impaired gait and poor cognitive function while taking valproate as alternative to zonisamide. Routine investigations of admission profiles were performed but revealed no abnormalities. Next, we checked serum ammonia level to identify other possible causes and detected hyperammonemia despite the therapeutic range of valproate in the absence of any abnormalities in liver enzymes. On cessation of valproate, he has achieved dramatic clinical improvement including the reversal of hyperammonemia. We confirmed the diagnosis of VHE. This emphasizes the importance of rapid diagnosis and proper management of VHE in order to prevent the neurological damage and minimize complications.

The purpose of this study was to develop an information system about drugs. The Joint Application Design Method which is popular in developing information systems was used. This system will be useful for the health care personnel and nursing students with easy access to information by using computer. The user requirements for this system were collected and analyzed through a survey of 50 nurses in a hospital and 30 students at a school of nursing. Based on this analysis, the specific contents were designed. The characteristics of this system as follows. Firstly it is the fast searching function which uses not only names of drugs(generic name, functional name, commercial name), but also names of diseases. Secondly, it is the function which maintains an updated database by the way of adding, updating and deleting the data. Thirdly, this system is useful for the education. In teaching and learning process, Computer-Assisted Instruction(CAI) is considered as one of the outstanding method bacause the individual differences in learners are respected and thus educational effect in pharmacology is expected.

Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome is a rare disorder which developed hemiatrophy of brain, enlargement of ventricles and prominent pneumatization of petrous pyramid of the temporal bone. It manifests hemiparesis, varying type seizure, and mental retardation. We experienced two cases of Dyke-avidoff-Masson Syndrome, in a 6/12 year-old boy and a 1, 10/12 year-old girl who were admitted to our department of pediatrics, because of convulsion and hemiparesis The brain CT scan showed marked dilatation of lateral ventricle, prominent sylvian fissure and cortical sulci. So we report two cases of Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome with review of literature.
