2.Preoperative Evaluation of Diabetic Autonomic Neuropathy by Power Spectral Analysis.
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology 1998;35(5):895-902
Background: The aim of this study is to investigate the changes in the patterns of power spectra of R-R interval variability of diabetic patients who are subject to autonomic neuropathy. Methods: The changes in power spectra of eight diabetic patients were compared with those of eight normal persons while changing positions from supine to Trendelenburg and from supine to standing each. Results: Low, high and total frequency power densities of diabetic patient group were significantly lower than those of control group in resting supine position. Low frequency power density and ratio of low frequency power to high frequency power of control group increased significantly while changing position from supine to standing compared with those of diabetic patient group. And low frequency power density of control group decreased significantly compared with that of diabetic patient group while changing position from supine to Trendelenburg. Conclusions: The decrease in power densities of low, high and total frequency suggest depressed overall autonomic activities in diabetic patient group and significantly decreased changes in low frequency power and ratio of low frequency power to high frequency power while changing positions from supine to standing suggest attenuated sympathetic activity in diabetic patient group, reflecting autonomic changes in diabetic group rapidly.

4.Management of the arthritis related osteoporosis.
Korean Journal of Medicine 2006;70(1):119-125
The osteoporosis is frequently observed in the patients with the inflammatory arthritis and painful rheumatism. The treatment of the osteoporosis for them is different from that for the patients without the arthritis or rheumatism. The recently developed biologic agents blocking tumor necrosis factor, interleukin(IL)-1, IL-6, or receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL) which are designed to treat the inflammatory arthritis are also expected to heal the osteoporosis in the inflammatory arthritis. The early use of the bisphosphonate is useful to prevent the glucocorticoid induced bone loss and to treat the spondyloarthropathy including the SAPHO (synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, osteitis) syndrome. The clacitonin is useful for the painful rheumatism and osteoporotic fracture. The estrogen replacement is disputed because the stroke is known to occur more commonly in chronic inflammatory rheumatism than in general population. Moreover the pathogenesis of the most rheumatism may be partly related to the hormone. The parathyroid hormone therapy needs caution in the patients with calcium deposition disease and the hyperuricemia. We are reviewing the recent trend and development in the management of the primary, secondary and inflammatory osteoporosis in the patients with arthritis.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effect of parity & delivery method on female fecal incontinence. METHOD: Based on 213 cases of 4 different delivery method and 40 cases of one non-delivery group, a retrospective analysis of the prevalence of female fecal incontinence, between January 1996 and December 1998, was done. With delivery mode, 4 different groups were: first vaginal delivery group , two or more vaginal deliveries group, first cesarean section group, and first vaginal delivery followed by cesarean section group. All subjects were examined by questionaire or phone about the experience of fecal incontinence after delivery. In cases of fecal incontinence , we reviewed the obstetric complications with medical records. RESULT: There was no fecal incontinence in the non-delivery group. The incidence of fecal incontinence in the two or more vaginal delivery group(11.7%, 9/77) and the first vaginal delivery followed by cesarean section group(18.1%, 8/44) was higher than the first vaginal delivery group(6.8%, 3/44), and the first cesarean section group(2.1%, 1/48)(P<0.05). The obstetric complications in fecal incontinence cases were: a prolonged second stage, anal sphincter laceration, vacuum extraction, a large baby etc. CONCLUSION: Fecal incontinence was significantly correlated with the number of vaginal deliveries and obstetric complications during delivery. Fecal incontinence after the first vaginal delivery or vaginal delivery followed by cesarean section are very important factors in choosing the next delivery method.
