4.Comparative Study of PCNA and Ki-67 Immunohistochemical Staining in Psoriasis, Basal Cell Carcinomas.
Annals of Dermatology 1994;6(2):146-151
BACKGROUND: Immunostaining to identify nuclear antigen provides a convenient way of assessing proliferative kinetics in hyperplastic/tumor tissue. OBJECTIVE: The object of this study is to find out whether there are any differences in the expression of proliferation related protein among psoriasis, basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma by immunohistochemical evaluation on the PCNA (proliferative cell nuclear antigen) and Ki-67. METHODS: The detection of PCNA and Ki-67 were done by,immunohistochemical methods (avidin-biotin immunoperoxidase methods) using respective monoclonal antibodies in the paraffin embeded tissues from psoriasis (17 cases), basal cell carcinomas (15 cases) and squamous cell carcinomas (10 cases). RESULTS: The labelling indices of PCNA were 14.2±4.0% in psoriasis, 10.9±5.5% in basal cell cardinoma and 28.0±7.8% in squamous cell carcinoma, while the labelling indices of Ki-67 were 15.7±3.8% in psoriasis, 11.26.1% in basal cell carcinoma and 30.3±9.4% in squamous cell carcinoma. CONCLUSION: 1. Interpretation of Ki-67 staining was easier than that for PCNA, mainly because cell morphology was better preserved and the distinction between hyperplastic/tumor and nontumor cell was clear. 2. PCNA and Ki-67 counts had strong correlation to each other (r=0.979). 3. Our immunohistochemical results of PCNA and Ki-67 suggested that proliferative activity was more marked in psoriasis than basal cell carcinoma.

5.Alternative impression technique for multiple abutments in difficult case to control.

The Journal of Advanced Prosthodontics 2010;2(1):1-3
BACKGROUND: Even though excellent impression materials are now available for making accurate replication for hard and soft tissue, the numerous dentists have faced lots of obstacles in making simultaneous impressions of multiple abutments. CASE DESCRIPTION: This article describes a modified method of tray fabrication using auto-polymerizing acrylic resin and impression technique for multiple prepared teeth in cases with limitations and difficulties in taking dental impressions. CLINICAL IMPLICATION: This segmental tray technique has several advantages, including higher impression quality, fewer impressions, and being more comfortable for the patient and less stressful for the clinician.

6.Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy : Clinical and Electroencephalographic Analysis.
Jung Keun KIM ; Heung Dong KIM
Journal of the Korean Child Neurology Society 1998;5(2):242-250
BACKGROUND: Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy(JME) is the most common idiopathic generalized epileptic syndrome which occurs mostly in the second decade of life. It is still frequently unrecognized and misdiagnosed. JME responds well to valproate, but is hardly controlled by other commonly used antiepileptic drug such as carbamazepine or phenytoin. We intended to Investigate the clinical symptoms and EEG findings of JME to support the diagnosis and treatment of JME. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the medical record of 18 childrens with JME, from March 1991 to February 1997 We have analysed the clinical symptoms, seizure type, EEG findings including photosensitivity, and the effect of antiepileptic drug. RESULTS: 1) Seven patients were boys and eleven patients were girls(M : F=1 : 1.6). The seizure onset between 5 and 7 years of age were noted in 5 cases, that between 8 and 10 years in 5 cases, and in 8 cases seizures began after 11 years of age 2) Generalized convulsive seizures were noted in 16 cases(GTC 13, GC 2, GCTC 1), myoclonic seizures in 18 cases, absence seizures in 5 cases, and photoconvulsive seizures during video game were associated in 3 cases. 3) Epileptiform discharges at the diagnosis of JME were noted 12 cases(66.7%), and no epileptiform discharges were seen in 6 cases(33.3%). The background activities were normal in all cases. In all 12 cases that showed abnormal epileptiform discharge, generalized spike and wave discharges were obtained, and photosensitivies noted in 4 cases. 4) Follow up EEG obtained after treatment, showed normal EEG findings in 16 cases, and abnormal EEG findings were obtained in 2 cases. 5) Sixteen cases responded well to valproate monotherapy, and 2 other cases responded to valproate and ethosuximide combined therapy. In one case who received vigabatrin, the seizure was aggravated. 6) In 5 cases who discontinued antiepicoptic drug medication after 3 year seizure free duration, 3(60%) cases relapsed within 1 year, and 2(40%) cases remained seizure free for over 1 year. CONCLUSION: Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy is an epileptic syndrome with generalized convulsive seizure, myoclonic seizure, and absence seizure, and EEG findings showed generalized spike and wave discharge in 66.7%, and photosensitivity in 22.2%. JME responded well to valproate monotherapy or valproate and ethosuximide combined the rape, but not responded to other antiepileptic drugs.

7.Generalized Multiple Fixed Drug Eruption.

Korean Journal of Dermatology 1978;16(5):409-413
The term "fixed drug eruption" was coined by Louis Brocq in 1894 to describe a special type of reaction to antipyrine. It is now known that many drugs can cause a fixed drug eruption. Notorious offenders have included phenolphthalein, quinine and barbiturates. We present a case of multiple fixed drug eruption appearing in a 20 year-old male patient who has generalized slate-blue colored pigmentation on neck, trunk and extremities. The area of total pigmented skin lesions are over 50% of body surface. We could confirm the fixed drug eruption by positive phenobarbital provocation test.

8.Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
Yeungnam University Journal of Medicine 2007;24(1):1-10
The chronic fatigue immune dysfunction syndrome (abbreviated CFIDS or CFS) is a disorder characterized by debilitating fatigue(over 6 months), along with cognitive, musculoskeletal, and sleep abnormalities. The etiology of this illness is unlikely to be a single agent. Findings to date suggest that physiological and psychological factors work together to predispose and perpetuate the illness. Diagnosis is made difficult by the nonspecific clinical findings and no available diagnostic testing. With no known cause or cure for the chronic fatigue and immune dysfunction syndrome, treatment is based on relieving symptoms and improving the quality of life of affected patients. There is emerging evidence that chronic fatigue syndrome may be familial. In the future, studies will examine the extent to which genetic and environmental factors play a role in the development of chronic fatigue syndrome. Most patients with CFS have psychiatric problems such as a generalized anxiety disorder, or major or minor depression, therefore, these mental health disorders may be correlated with the pathophysiology of the CFS. The treatment for CFS must be individualized, due to the heterogeneity of the CFS population. Also the treatment of CFS is built on a foundation of patient-physician relationship, respect and advocacy.

The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1982;17(5):1016-1018
Malignant fibrous histiocytoma has recently become an established diagnosis for some tumors that arise in the musculo-skeletal tissue. But it contains areas that resemble with osteosarcoma, fibrosarcoma, the microscopic lesions are composed of interlacing bands of fibroblast, bizzare histiocytes and multinucleated giant cells, arranged in storiform pattern. At present, the treatment advocated for malignant fibrous histiocytoma has been total surgical removal and radiation therapy. A case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma affecting the proximal tibia is reported with brief review of literature.

Epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica is rare, chronic non-inflammtory mechanobullous disease of hereditary trait, which easily produces bullae by minor trauma or sponta neosly. A 1-day old male neonate presented wide spread vesicobullous minor, eruptions since birth. On examination, tense bullse were noted on the dorsa of the feet and right knei: area Which is usually serous but may be hemarrhagic tendeney. This was healed by the dropping of oxoline and wet betadine auze application along with the administration of vitamin E and phenytoin. We present a case of epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica that seems be a dominant type considering the presence of family history with histopathologic and electron microscopic findings.
