3.The Effects of Long-Term Training of Aerobic Exercise on Some Risk Factors of Cardiovascular Disease.
Korean Circulation Journal 1990;20(2):226-231
25 males, aged 40-60 years, who participated in aerobic-type exercise on moderate intensity(60~85% of MHR), 3~5 days a week for 6~12 months were selected. Data were obtained at pre- and post-participation of tranining period for height, weight, girths of chest and abdomen, body fat, BP, HR, serum cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol, glucose, uric acid, BP and HR during graded treadmil exercise, and VO2max. After training for average 38.4 weeks, significant reductions occured in percent of body fat, HR and SBP both at rest and exercise, triglyceride, but not in cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol. And DBP, HDL-cholesterol were elevated. VO2max was increased apparantly by 16.4%. From the results was concluded that training of aerobic exercise could reduce the risk of coronary heart disease by 1) decreasing myocaridal oxygen demand, 2) improving on lipid profile, 3) increasing cardiac work capacity.

4.Surgical Treatment of the Distal Radius Fracture
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1995;30(5):1423-1432
Fractures of the distal radius are one of the most common injuries met in the orthopedic field. Once it was thought that good function comes despite of poor anatomic restoration in the distal radius fractures. But now there are wide consensus that more aggressive surgical treatments are needed in such complex fractures to fulfill the better clinical results. We reviewed 56 consecutive distal radius fractures of 54 patients treated surgically in Orthopedic Department of Asan Medical Center between October 1989 and July 1994. The mean length of follow-up was 29.2 months. Clinical end results were statistically analyzed according to each anatomi- cal variables and state of distal ulna, and anatomies and results were analyzed according to different surgical modalities in each fracture classes. Radial length and radial inclination was significantly correlated with clinical results. The clinical results were significantly worse when dorsal tilt exceeded 10. In intraarticular type of fractures, residual articular incongruency seems to be the significantly affecting factor of development of arthritis and the clinical result. The associated fracture of distal end of the ulna did not significantly affect the result. In same type of fracture class, achievement and loss of reduction, arthritis, and Demerit score show no significant differences between groups of different surgical modalities. Probably this is due to proper choice of modalities in each different situations.

Recently, the incidence of pelvic bone fractures has been increased with increment of the volume of traffic. We reviewed 318 cases of pelvic bone fractures treated at the department of orthopaedic surgery of Hanyang University Hospital during the period from May, 1972 to December, 1980. The age and sex distribution, cause and classification of fractures, type of treatment, associated injuries and complications were recorded and investigated. The results obtained were as follows: 1. There were one hundred and ninety four (61%) male and one hundred and twenty four (39%) female, and one hundred and ninety seven patients (62%) in this entire series were aged from twenties to forties. The most common victims were in active persons. 2. The most common causative injury was traffic accident. 3. Two hundreds and thirteen (67%) cases were stable fracture and one hundred and five (33%) cases were unstable fracture, which were classified by Kanes classification. 4. The fracture of the femur was most commonly associated bone and joint injuries and the injury of the lower urinary tract was also most commonly associated soft tissue injuries. 5. All of the cases, except 3 cases of the avulsion fracture, were treated with conservative treatment. The remaining 3 cases were treated with surgical treatment, 6. The mortality rate was 5.3%, and the most common cause of death was hemorrhagic shock in 70.6% of the entire fatal cases in this series.

Korean Journal of Dermatology 1978;16(4):331-336
Nickel sensitivity is the most common cause of allergic metal dermatitides,, particularly in women. Women are uaually sensitized. by the objects wom close to the skin ('e.g. earring, necklace fasther, watch, suspenders, brassiere clips, etc.), and men are by occupational exposures (e.g. plating or printing industries, tools, etc.). Nickel dermatitis is frequently developed on the sites where seems to have been directly contact witb nickel substance, but secondary eruptions may develop on the areas where seems to have not been directly exposed to nickel, so that nickel dermatitie is sometimea misdiagnosed as atopic dermatitis, nummular eczema, stasis dermatitis, or other dermatitides. The authora prcsent two cases of nickel dermatitis confirmed by patch test with 2. 5% nickel sulfafte; first case-a 22 years old female who has erythemat,ous maculopapular patches on her ears, around neck, left wriat, elbows, and abdomen; second case tkat was previously misdiagnosed as mummular eczema-a 18 years old female who has large oozing and crusted patches on both lateral aspects of her right thigh and back, The authors reviewed the incidence of nickel sensitivity during past years in korea and the clinical aspect of distribution of nickel dermatitis.

Journal of the Korean Radiological Society 1994;31(2):211-216
PURPOSE: To analyze the imaging features of brain abscess. MATERIALS AND METHODS: MR studies of nine patients with surgically verified brain abscess were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS: The shape of abscesses were round(n=6), multilobulated(n=2) or triangular(n=1). All lesions were located in corticomedullary junction and extended into white matter. On gadolinium-DTPA enhanced images, smooth rim-like(n=6) or irregular thick enhancement(n=3) of abscess wall was noted. Budlike projection from the abscess capsule was found in 4 cases. The signal intensity of abscess capsule was either hyperintense (n=5) or isointense(n=4) relative to white matter on Tl-weighted images, and hypointense(n=6), isointense (n=2) or mixed hypo and isointense(n=l) on T2-weighted images. Satellite nodules were found in 2 cases. PNS inflammation(n=2), meningitis(n=1), ventriculitis(=2) and subdural empyema(n=1) were associated CONCLUSION: The MR features of brain abscess included characteristic intensity of abscess capsule, budlike projection from the abscess wall, moderate amount of peripheral edema, satellite nodules, and associated meningitis, ventriculitis or PNS infection. The morphology of abscess wall was not specific for the diagnosis of brain abscess.
