Annals of Dermatology 1996;8(4):282-286
Clear cell hidradenoma, generally as an eccrine sweat gland origin, is a fairly uncommon tumor and occurs as a slowly growing, usually solitary nodule. The histological patterns vary from one tumor to another and in different parts of the same tumor. We experienced three cases of clear cell hidradenoma which were diagnosed by the histopathologic examination of the tumor mass removed by surgical excision. Clinical and histopathologic features of each case were reviewed and compared.

Leiomyoma is benign tumor, which usually occurs at the smooth muscle of gastrointestinal tract and uterus but leiomyoma on the penis is very. rare neoplasm. We experienced a case of leiomyoma on the penis in a 17 year old man, so we report this case with review of literatures.

4.Clinical Study of Augmentin in G-U Tract Infection.
Korean Journal of Urology 1986;27(5):654-658
Augmentin is a formulation of amoxycillin trihydrate and potassium clavulanate, a fused beta-lactam molecule produced by the fermentation of straptomyces clavuligerus. Most clinically important resistance is due to the production by bacteria of antibiotic destroying enzymes. In the case of penicillins and cephalospolins these enzymes are termed beta-lactamse as they destroy the beta-lactam ring of these antibiotics completely inactivating them. The presence of clavulanic acid extends the spectrum of amoxycillin to include beta-lactamse producing strains of common pathogens such as Staphylococcus, H influenza, E. coli, Neisseria spp, Proteus spp, Salmonella and Shigella. On clinical study of Augmenting in the field of Genitourinary tract infection cases. We selected randomly 30 patients, 20 males and 10 females, age from 21 to 71, in the period from October, 1985 to February, 1986. Among the total 30 patients, 15 were uncomplicated urinary tract infection and 15 were complicated urinary tract infection. Of the 15 patients with uncomplicated urinary tract infection, 14 patients had not bacteriuria after therapy and 1 patient was not changed. The clinical efficacy rate was 93.4%. Of the 4 patients with persistent infection, 2 patients had resistant P. aeruginosa, and 2 patients had S marcescens persistantly. The clinical efficacy rate was 73.4%. In 2 cases, mild diarrhea was developed, but medication was not stopped. The liver and renal function were normal range before and after treatment.

We report herein three cases of subcutaneous sarcoidosis without apparent internal lesion. The patients had multiple subcutaneous nodules on the extremities and abdomen. Hyper-gammaglobulinemia, a relative increase of T suppressor cells, and increased serum angiotensin converting enzyme level and skin anergy were observed. Histopathologic findings revealed sarcoidal granulomas involving the subcutaneous fat tissue. The lesions of two cases resolved spontaneously and the other one case required systemic corticosteroid therapy.

7.Congenital self-healing reticulohistiocytosis: report of a case of the solitary type and review of the literature.
Yonsei Medical Journal 1992;33(2):194-198
A 2-month-old female infant presented with a single hemorrhagic crusted papule on the chin present since birth. No visceral involvement could be demonstrated. The lesion involuted spontaneously with scarring in 3 months. Mononuclear cells in the cutaneous infiltrate were Langerhans cells with typical Birbeck granules which positively stained with S-100 protein. This case is the solitary type of congenital self-healing reticulohistiocytosis.

Korean Journal of Orthodontics 1985;15(2):303-312
This study was designed to get the knowledge of the structual characteristics of the lingual dental arch shaper of Koreans. The subjects consisted of 107 nirmal occulsions. The lingual structure which was divided into two groups, anterior and posterior part, was measured and analyzed. 22 pairs of the 107 samples were usde to test the derived results. The findings of this study were as follows; 1. The mathmatical functions of the we curces which showed good fitting to the upper and lower anterior lingual arch were derived and drawed to the same acale using the computer graphics. 2. The results of the test showed a reasonable degree of accuracy to all of the 33 randm samples. 3. The average degrees of posterior flexions were obtained and could be used as a initial guide at the wire-bending.

9.Mechanical analysis on the multiloop edgewise arch wire.

Korean Journal of Orthodontics 1991;21(1):31-47
This study was designed to survey the stress distributions and deflections which were derived from MEAW by the computer-aided three dimensional finite element analysis of teeth and surrounding bone composed of 2839 solid elements and 4621 nodes. MEAW model was also made using the 90 beam elements and the results were expressed by quantitative and visible ways. The findings of this study were as follows: 1. In case of vertical load on the MEAW there were extrusions of anterior teeth and upright effects of the posterior teeth. 2. Without applying the vertical elastics on the MEAW there were intrusions of anterior teeth, but relatively mild force was transmitted to the posterior teeth area. Torque forces were observed on the incisors and molars, and canine was intruded without torque. 3. The magnitudes of forces were different by the amounts of tip back bends of MEAW. 4. The displacements were in inverse proportion to the cross section areas of the wires according to the experiment using the 5 different size arch wires. 5. The difference of deflections between the MEAW and plain arch wire was not so big as the theoretical one but the deflections of MEAW were much more than the plain arch wire in every X, Y, Z direction.

10.Advanced heart failure: a contemporary approach

The Korean Journal of Internal Medicine 2023;38(4):471-483
Advanced heart failure (HF) is defined as the persistence of severe symptoms despite the use of optimized medical, surgical, and device therapies. These patients require timely advanced treatments, such as heart transplantation or long-term mechanical circulatory support (MCS). Inotropic agents are often used to reduce congestion and increase cardiac output, while renal replacement therapy may be beneficial if necessary. Cardiac resynchronization therapy has clear benefits in patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction, particularly with left bundle branch block (QRS duration > 130 ms). The role of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators in advanced HF patients requires further investigation considering the introduction of novel HF medications. In selected patients with significant secondary mitral regurgitation, transcatheter edge-to-edge repair can help delay heart transplantation or long-term MCS. In later stages, the appropriateness of heart transplantation should be evaluated, and the use of short- or long-term MCS may be considered. A multidisciplinary HF management program is crucial for patients with advanced HF. Recent treatment advances, including drugs, devices, and MCS, have broadened the options available to patients with advanced HF and this trend is expected to continue.
