1.Study of Adult Stroke Patients and Improvement in Activities of Daily Living from Time of Stroke to Two Months Thereafter.
Journal of the Korean Geriatrics Society 2003;7(4):321-341
BACKGROUNDS: A stroke is a disease of the nervous system which is accompanied by important chronic disabilities and emotional disorders. These disabilities causes loss of sensation(diminished basic movement). METHODS: Sensation rehabilitation therapy through Activities of Daily Living(ADL) Training is necessary. Reports show that patients who receive occupational therapy in the early stages have an extremely high rate of recovery in the early stages. It is important for a occupational therapist to provide continued reha- bilitative treatment to, enable the patient to accomplish Activities of Daily Living Training independently by treating everything from sustaining posture in bed to normal movement and improvement in sensory perception. occupational therapy refers to the `use of self` of a occupational therapist to help the patient overcome difficulties and increase abilities of the patients by applying knowledge, skill, care and basic patient merits. RESULTS: A occupational therapist must have the basic knowledge, self-confidence and individual skills for a systematic program of therapy in order to be able to communicate with the patient and increase the effectiveness of the therapy. CONCLUSION: This study showed that therapy for patients who received therapy soon after diagnosis of stroke showed to be greatly effective. A deeper study must be done in order to increase effectiveness of occupational therapy methods such as the NDT(treatment to improve normal movement sensation) and SI method(treatment to increase sensitivity of perceptive movement and to give the ability to position objects according to shape and location).

4.A Case of Acquired Multiple Cavernous Hemangiomatosis.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1982;20(1):93-100
Acquired multiple cavernous hemangiomatosis appear on the skin and internaI organs, including in particular the skeleton, the brain and the liver in childhood or in adult life in the 4th and 5th decades. It is extremely rare for cutaneous hemangiomas associated with internal lesions to arise de novo in adults. The lesions persist indefinitely and symptom-free survival to old age is possible, despite the presence of hemangiomatosis in liver, heart or kidney. A 53 year-old male patient had multiple, non-tender, bluish to violet colored. pea to walnut sized, cutaneous, some pedunculated nodules on the entire body for 8 years. Histopathologically, there were non-capsulated vascuiar tumor consisting of large variable sized blood vessels in the dermis and some organizing thrombi. There was no evidence of malinant change.

Ninety black C 57 BL mice were divided into control and photochemotherapy groups. Control group was subdivided into a UVA 1rradiation only subgroup and a khellin only administration subgroup, while the phototherapy group was subdivided into one TMP and two khellin administration subgroups with dosages of 1.5mg/kg, 5mg/kg and 20mg/kg, respectivly. UVA was administered three thimes a week in a dose of 4J/cm for 4 weeks. Skin biopsies were taken at 0, l, 2, 3 and 4 weeks and the split DOPA stain was employed to observe pigment production. The number, size and circumference of the melanocytes were assessed. In summary, our results inclicate that khellin, which is slightly less effective than TMP at the same effective dose, is quite effective for pigment production and the degree of the production is dose related.

Korean Journal of Dermatology 1992;30(6):850-856
This is an analysia of 126 cases(14.1%) of segmental vitiligo among 892 vitiligo patient who had visited vitiligo special clinie in Severance Hospital. The results are summarized as follow : 1. There were 53 males(42.1%) and 73 females(57.9%). 2. The mean age of onset was 15.4 years, the mean age on the first visit was 19.3 years, and mean duration of the disease was 4.8 years. 3. Mode of onset was single in 86.5% and the disease was table in 57.1% of patients at the visit. 4. The mean percentage of depigmented lesions was 3.3% and less than 5% of body surface area was involved in 86.5% of patients. 5. The most common site of involvement was head and necl(59.6%), especially face(43.7%) and the trigerminal dermatome was most commonly involved. 6. Poliosis was observed in 39.7%. 7. Family history of vitiligo was obtained in 11.1% of patients. There was no precipitating factors in 126 cases prior to development of vitiligo. 8. Koebner phenomenon was found in 4% of patients. 9. Association with diseases of a proven or suggested allergic or immunologic etiology including atopic dermatitis, halo nevus, uveitis, thyroid disease, lopecia areata and premature graying of hair was found in 10.3% of patients.

7.Deep-seated Fungal Infections in Biopsy Specimens.
Korean Journal of Pathology 1990;24(4):349-357
A total of 197 cases of fungal infections in biopsy specimens obtained from the pathology file of the Department of Pathology, Seoul National University Hospital, for a period of 28 years from 1960 to 1987 were studied by histopathologic investigations with analysis of clinical records. The following results are obtained; 1) While most fungal infections increased in number, annual relative frequency of them were between 0.1% and 0.2%. 2) Among 197 cases of fungal infections, deep-seated mycosis was 175 cases (88.8%). Aspergillosis was the most common mycosis, accounting for 29.4 percent. 3) The age and sex distribution of fungal infection was even throughout the ages, but it was more common in age group over fifty, and the male was more frequently affected than the female. 4) Aspergillosis was encountered in 58 cases (29.4%) and the preferred localization was the lung. The candidiasis was seen in 48 cases (24.4%) and the preferred localization of cryptococcosis was lymph node and skin.
