1.A Study on the Tzanck Test of Vesicobullous Skin Diseases.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1987;25(1):52-63
For the more practical and convenient application of the Tzanck test, we evaluated several staining methods and cytological findings 98 cases of vesicobullous skin diseases. Fixation by air-drying of specimen aad modified Giemsa staining method were thought to be the most appropriate procedure in clinical use. The disease studied were chickenpox, herpes zoster & simplex, contact dermatitis, Id reaction, tinea pedis, urticaria pigmentosa, incontinentia pigmenti, farnilial benign pemphigus, hand-foot-mouth disease, erytherna multiforme, toxic epiderrzal necrolysis, fixed drug eruption, and septic vesicle. Among these, herpes and chickenpox vesicles shawed the most characteristic and specific findings. And degenerating giant cell could be added as an useful diagnostic marker for these diseases in relatively old lesions. In the other diseases, cytological findings were neither charcteristic nor specific. But these findings suggested the possibility of picking up useful findings by more elaborated study including more large number of cases.

2.Adrenergic Effects on the Cardiac Damage by Oxygen Free Radicals.

Korean Circulation Journal 1996;26(1):112-123
BACKGROUND: It is now well known that oxygen free radicals act as mediators of cellular injury in many cardiovascular diseases. Although some evidences have been presented for an altered number of adrenergic receptors in heart disease, a detailed examination of the interaction of free radicals with cardiac adrenergic receptors has little been carried out. METHODS: This study is therefore undertaken to examine the influences of adrenergic blocking agents(propranolol, prazosin) and cyclooxygenase inhibitor(aspirin) on the cardiac damage by oxygen free radicals. Ischemic condition of the isolated rat heart was made by Langendorff preparation, and then measured superoxide dismutase(SOD), lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) released in the perfusate, and malondialdhyde(MDA) concentration in the cardiac tissue. RESULTS: We obtained the results that increased SOD activity and tendency of decreased LDH activity by the pretreatment of propranolol, prazosin, and aspirin in cardiac ischemic-reperfusion injury. Those effects were more predominant in adriamycin treated group comparing with not treated group. CONCLUSION: Adrenergic blocking agent, propranolol, prazosin, and aspirin seem to have some protective effect on the reperfusion injury of the heart.

3.Epidemiology Studies on the Mites in Food.
Korean Journal of Preventive Medicine 1968;1(1):37-42
Authors studied on the Acaroid mite in the food, and the following results were obtained. 1) 6 species of Acaroid mite were found among twelve kinds different types of food. a. Tyrophagus dimidiatus, b. Glycyphagus destructor, c. Glycyphagus domesticus, d. Hoshikadania konoi, e. Acarus siro, f. Carphoglyphus lactis. 2) Acaroid mite were not found in the wheat flour and magalin among the twelve different kinds. 3) Acaroid mit were distributed at higher rate in the pollack(94%), cuttle fish(77%) and anchovy(50%).

4.The use of Methylmethacrylate as an Adjunct in the Internal Fixation of metastatic Femoral Shaft Fracture
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1982;17(5):1035-1038
This report deals with a 49-year-old male farmer who had a pathological fraeture. of the right femoral shaft due to metastatic carcinoma from the middle lobe of the right lung. The lesion of the femur was resected en-bloc and bone stabilization of the fractured bone was obtained by an intramedullary Kiintscher nail plus cement fixation. Two weeks later, a right middle and lower lobectomy was done. Microscopic examination of both specimens from right femur and lung revealed poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. The postoperative course was satisfactory with no recurrence for period of 26 months.

Korean Journal of Dermatology 1985;23(2):235-241
A case of cutaneous sarcoidosis in the 66 year-old Korean female patient is presented. She shows typical skin manifestations of plaque type in the absence of other common objective evidence of systemic involvement. Diagnosis was confirmed by charcteristic histological findings and positive Kveim test with the support of other compatible clinical and biochemical findings. She had been followed up for 3 years since the first visiting. Recently chest X-ray, slit lamp examination and skin biopsies were taken again, but failed to reveal any significant interval changes.

In the Dept. of Thoracic Surgery, Korea University Hospital, Preoperative diagnosis as Ebstein anomaly was made on the 11-year old female through the preoperative examination including right cardioangiography and the Glenn Operation was performed to this patients as palliative treatment. During closure of the thoracic wall just after the anastomosis of S.V.C. and right pulmonary artery, sudden cardiac arrest developed. One day later after death, autopsy was performed in order to confirm the pathologic anatomy of the cardiac anomaly and to clarify the cause of death. Pathologic anatomy of the heart revealed the huge dilatation of right atrium, Patent Foramin Ovale, and the deformed and descended posterior and the septal leaflets of tricuspid value by which right ventricle was devided into the atrialized and the functional portion. The diagnosis of the autopsy showed (1) Ebstein Anomaly (2) bilateral total atelectasis of the lung, (3) multiple petechial hemorrhage and edema of the myocardium, brain and liver due to acute hypoxia, (4) fibrocaseous tuberculosis of the liver and tuberculous pericholangitis.
