5.MR Classification of Tear Types and Popliteous Muscle Attachments in Lateral Disccid Menisci.
Journal of the Korean Radiological Society 1995;33(6):967-973
PURPOSE: To determine the types of meniscal tears and type of popliteal muscle attachment in lateral disccid menisci. MATERIALS AND METHODS: MR images from 40 patients with arthroscopically proven disccid meniscal tears were reviewed. The type of capsular attachment of the popliteal muscle in these patients was compared with 100 normal controls. Fourteen men and 26 women were included in this study ranging in age from 8 to 52 yea rs. RESULTS: Disccid mensical tears were divided into five types. Arthroscopic cor- relation revealed that thirty-six cases(90%) of disccid meniscal tears were cor- rectly diagnosed using MR imaging. Peripheral tear wasthe commonest tear type occurring in 13 patients. In 9 of these the meniscal fragment was displaced. Hori- zontal tears occurred in 5, longitudinal tears in 4 and transverse tears in 2 patients. Multiple tears were present in 16 patients with the commonest combi- nation of peripheral and horizontal. Popliteal capsular attachments of disccid mensical tears were more prominent than in the normal control group. CONCLUSION: The types of tears in disccid menisci were different from normal meniscal tears. Peripheral detachment with displacement of torn segments was a very frequent finding in disccid mensical tears. Prominent capsular attachment of popliteal muscles is probably an associated finding in disccid menisci.

6.Wallerian degeneration of brain: MRI and CT findings.
Journal of the Korean Radiological Society 1992;28(6):851-853
Wallerian degeneration is well known as the anterograde degeneration of axon and their accompanying myelin sheath from injury to the proximal portion of the axon or its cell body. The most common cause of wallerian degeneration is cerebral infarction. Authors experienced three patients with old hemispheric infarct with typical wallerian degeneration in the brain stem, which was demonstrated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in two cases and CT in one case. This report demonstrates the wallerian degeneration in the corticospinal tract on the MRI and CT with the brief review of the literatures.

7.A Study of the Sustainability of NutriPlus Program Effect - in Pohang Area -.
Korean Journal of Community Nutrition 2011;16(2):206-214
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of the NutriPlus+ Program and to observe how the improved statuses were maintained after the program's termination. The subjects were infants and their parents, who have participated in the NutriPlus+ Program conducted by South Healthcare Center in Po-hang for longer than six months, during the period 2007 - 2010. The survey was conducted with questionnaires, and scores were tabulated from each question. After the intervention of the program, scores representing degrees of nutrition knowledge and nutrition attitude increased. The rate of nutritional risk by anthropometric measurement decreased, and the prevalence rate of anemia was significantly decreased as well. The number of subjects lacking any nutrients, except for iron and vitamin C, decreased, which indicates that the NutriPlus+ Program was effective. After enough time had passed after the intervention's completion; however, the scores of nutrition knowledge and nutrition attitude decreased. The number of subjects with low height and weight (proportional to their age) relatively decreased, and the prevalence rate of anemia increased slightly. The number of subjects lacking in energy and calcium consumption increased as well, which indicates that the effect of the NutriPlus+ Program was not maintained after the program's termination.

9.Sustainable Rates of Sebum Excretion in Relation to Menstrual Cycle.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1988;26(6):791-796
Sustainable rates of sebum excretion(SRSE) was measured in seven women who had normal regular periods, none were taking oral contraceptives with no significant signs of acne or hirsutism, with assays for testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, and progesterone during menstrual cycle. The SRSE in omen during the follicular phase wa lower in the luteal phase (p <0.01)than in the men (p <0.01). However during the luteal phase the SRSE in the women was increased similar to the SESE in the men. We investigated the above horrnoies in relationship to the SRSE during the women's menstrua] cycle. During the follicular phase the hormone which was the most determining factor affected the SRSl was total testerone, while dihydrotestosterone was the most determining factor of the horrnone affecting the SRSE during the ovulation and luteal phase.

10.Studies on the Specific Estradiol Binding Site on Rat Uterine Membranes
Journal of Korean Society of Endocrinology 1996;11(4):510-516
Backgroand: In our previous study, it was demonstrated that estradiol-dependent prostaglandin synthesis may be mediated by cAMP elevation during the process of iplantation in rats. The present study was undertaken to investigate if estradio1, a hydrophobic molecule could interact with uterine plasma membrane, thereby influencing adenylate cyclase and cAMP. Methods: The specific binding of [3H]estradiol to plasma membrane prepared from rat uterus has been identified and characterized. Results: The association of [3H]estradiol to plasma membrane preparations reached equilibrium at 24 hrs. [3H]estradiol binding was directly proportional to the concentration of plasma membrane preparations and its binding was temperature-sensitive. This binding was saturable, reversible and binding site was one type with high affinity(Kd=0.16+0.03 nM) and high binding capacity(Bmax= 2.03 + 0.38pmol/mg protein). The dissociation constant was estimated as 1.6*10(-10)M. In a competition assay, binding was specific for estrogenic compounds. When 100% specific binding was detennined in the presence of 3*10(-6) M diethylstilbestrol, 17B-estradiol and tamoxifen displaced specific binding by 115% and 23%, respectively. Neither progesterone nor cortisol at 500-fold excess displaced the specific binding. Conclusion: These data suggest the presence of specific binding sites on the plasma membrane for estradiol in the rat uterus.
