3.Clinical Features of Endobronchial Tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases 1997;44(2):223-231
A total of 322 patients with endobronchial tuberculosis (8.1%) out of 3,982 subjects who had a flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopic examination at the Department of Pulmonary Medicine of Hanyang University Hospital between the beginning of March 1982 and the end of Apr11 1996 were included in this study. The peak incidence occurred in the second decade, and the male to female was 1 : 3.0. The barking cough with variable amounts of sputum was the most common chief complaint in 56.9% of the 313 patients. Other complaints included dyspnea, chest pain, fever, hemoptysis, and generalized weakness. Localized wheeze was heard over the chest in 16.9% of the 313 patients. Infiltration/consolidation was the most common roentgenographic finding of the chest in 64.2%. Bronchoscopically, hypertrophy with luminal narrowing was the most common findings in 32.3% of the 322 patients and left main bronchus was the most frequently involved in 24.0%. Using fiberoptic bronchoscopy allows not only substantial meaningful assessment of endobronchial tuberculosis but also makes a differential diagnosis of lung cancer in older patients. We need further evaluations of standard bronchoscopic classification of endobronchial tuberculosis, diagnostic accuracy of endobronchial tuberculosis by PCR, a large prospective study of effects of corticosteroids in endobronchial tuberculosis patients, and appropriate treatment of atelectasis by endobronchial tuberculosis.

4.Upper airway studies in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
Sleep Medicine and Psychophysiology 2004;11(1):5-9
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder characterized by recurrent cessation of breathing due to complete or partial upper airway occlusion during sleep. The incompetent tone of palatal, pharngeal, and glossal muscles which fail to maintain airway patency during sleep causes narrowing of the airway dimension and increased resistance of breathing. The identification of the sites of upper airway obstruction in patients with OSA is important in understanding the pathogenesis and deciding the treatment modality of snoring and/or OSA. Various upper airway imaging modalities have been used to assess upper airway size and precise localization of the sites of upper airway obstruction during sleep. Dynamic imaging modalities enabled assessment of dimensional changes in the upper airway during respiration and sleep. This article focused on reviews of various upper airway imaging modalities, especially dynamic upper airway imaging studies providing important information on the pathogenesis of OSA.

8.Clinical Features of Subacute Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus among Koreans .
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1997;35(1):90-95
BACKGROUND: The proportion of patients with subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus(SCLE) is considered to be 10% among the total LE population in western countries. The morphology of LE-specific skin lesions in SCLE : appear as papulosquamous erythema or annular erythema developing mostly on the exposed areas. Among Korean patients with LE the prevalence and the pattern of cutaneous eruption of SCLE may be different from those patients of western countries. OBJECTIVE: To obtain the prevalence and the morphological characteristics of cutaneous lesions in Korean patients with SCI E v;ere the main objectives. METHODS: With 7 cases of SCLE, clinical dermatologic examinations for the character, the distribution, and the clinical course of those cutaneous lesions, and for the extent of systemic symptoms and LE-related laboratory abnormalities in each patient were performed. Results/Coeclusion. The prevalence of SCLE among Korean patients with LE or latent LE was much lower than those seen in Caucasians. The pattern of cutaneous lesions were papular/ papulosquamous erythemas with no (or rare) cases of annular erytherna among those patients diagnosed as SCLE. ~Other cl~inica! features were similar to Caucasian patients. It seems that there are some racial differences in the cutaneous manifestat.ions of LE, which may be relevant to the dissimilarities in immunogenetic backgrounds between different racial groups.

10.A Clinical Study of 12 Cases of Sarcoma of the Uterus.
Korean Journal of Gynecologic Oncology and Colposcopy 2000;11(4):404-410
OBJECTIVE: Sarcoma of uterus is originated from uterine muscles and/or connective tissues and rare and most lethal of all primary uterine tumors. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcome of 12 patients diagnosed primary uterine sarcoma at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in Kyungpook National University Hospital between 1984 and 1998 for 15 years. METHODS: After review of chart in twelve patients, data including clinical and histologic findings, treatment and outcome were analysed. RESULTS: The most common histologic finding was leiomyosarcoma(6cases, 50%) and the age of patients ranged 24 to 69 years and the average age was 43.25 years and two patients were nulliparous. The most common sign was abnormal uterine or vaginal bleeding(48%), and pelvic cavity or vaginal mass(16%), pelvic pain(16%), no symptom(16%), in order of frequency. The distribution by FIGO clinical stage was four cases(33%) for stage I, one case (8%) for stageII, one case(8%) for stage III, six cases (50%) for stage N. The nine cases received hysterectomy with or without BSO. Two cases received myomectomy to preserve fertility. The mean follow-up duration was 39.6 months. CONCLUSION: Uterine sarcoma is an uncommon and aggressive tumors with a poor prognosis. Leiomyosarcoma is the most frequent histologic type(50%). Stage I uterine sarcoma with or without adjuvant chemotherapy has better prognosis than other stages.
