1.Toxic Epodrmal Necrolysis: Report of a Case.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1976;14(2):153-157
A case of toxic epidermal necrolysis(TEN) in 20 years old female was presente d. The characteristic skin lesions of toxic epidermal necrolyais developed after oral administration of Aspirin for common cold. The cause of the disease. was probably due to Aspirin, but on the microscopic pathologic findings intraepithelial and subcorneal bullae which is characteristic in the staphylococcal induced TEN were noticed. She was treated with a massive systemic corticosteroids(Dexamethasone 12mg/d), antibiotics(Lincocin l.5grn/d), Fluids with electrolytes, sedatives and topical measures. So she was discharged with excellent results in a week of admission.

2.Case-Control Study on Some Risk Factors of Cerebrovascular Diseases in Rural Community: Matched Analysis with One Control per Case.
Korean Journal of Preventive Medicine 1988;21(1):82-88
The main objectives of this study were to know the prevalence of cerebrovascular disease, to find the important risk factors of cerebrovascular diseases. This study is a part of Eumseong Community Health Project supportes by GTZ(West German Government). 116 perceived cases of cerebrovascular disease were first screened by health interview and examinations and 80 cases were diagnosed as a cerebrovascular group. For comparison, 80 cases were matched with their neighbor controls of the same sex and the similar age. 1. The prevalence rate for cerebrovascular diseases was 476.3 per 100,000 population which is considered to be very high compared with that of other countries. Age adjusted rate for cerebrovascular diseases was 261.6 per 100,000. 2. Among the risk factors examined for the association with cerebrovascular diseases by case-control study, and analyzed by paired marginal test(McNemar's chi-square-test) and odds ratio, only hypertension showed high significant statistical association.

3.The Bacteriological Study of Impetige Contagiosa.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1977;15(4):389-394
Our present knowledge of impetigo contagiosa extends from its first description as a separate clinical entity by Fox in I864, and the proof of its bacterial etiology by Radcliffe-Crocker in 1881. Both staphylococci and streptococci have been discovered from the lesions, but the relative preponderance of each varies greatly, and reports are contradictory. Seventy-eight patients with impetigo contagiosa were studied bacteriologically in order to ascertain the primary etiologic agent. Also, a susceptibility test (Bauer- Kirby method) was done on the isolated organisms with 7 antibiotics which are used frequently in the clinical field. Specimens obtained from the skin lesions were cultured and organisms were isolated. They were identified by various biochemical and serological tests. A DN ase test, a carbohydrate fermentation test, and a coagulase test were done for the isolated staphylococci. A bacitracin disc method and a precipitin test(Lancefield method) were done for the isolated B-hemolytic streptococci. The results were as follows: Fifty-six cases(71.8%) were infected by staphylococcus only. Twenty cases(25.6%) were infected by a mixture of staphylococcus and p-hemo- lytic streptococcus. Only 2 cases(2.6%) were infected by B-hemolytic streptococcus alone. All 76 strains of staphylococci were identified as coagulase positive staphylococci. Among the 22 strains of B-hemolytic streptococci, 15 strains were identified as group A and remaining 7 strains were identified as group B. Coagulnse negative sta,phylococcus was not found. In the susceptibility test to 7 antibiotics, staphylococci showed susceptibility to lincomycin, erythromycin, cloxacillin, and chloramphenicol, and resistance to tetra-cycline, penicillin, and ampicillin. Streptococci showed susc.ptibility to all of the above antibiotics except tetracycline. From the results of this experiment, it was concluded that the primary etiologic agent of impetigo contagiosa was coagulase positive staphylococcus and streptococcus for the most part can be considered as a secondarily infecting agent. Coagulase negative staphylococcus apparently is not implicated as an etiologic agent of impetigo contagiosa. The results of the antibiotic susceptibility tests would seem to indicate that the use of such antibiotics as tetracycline, penicillin, and ampicillin is not indicated in the treatment of impetigo contagiosa.

6.Recent Observation of Syphilis and Condyloma Acuminatum.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1982;20(3):407-411
Many authors asserted that the incidence of sexually transmitted disease, especially syphilis, increased recently. We examined the annual reactive rate of VDRL test in 23,886 persons who took a medical check-up for employment from March, 1978 to August, 1981 and the snnual rate of condyloma acuminatum among 91,334 dermatologic outpatients from 1976 to 1980 to estimate the recent trend in sexually transmitted disease. The overall reactive rate of VDRL test was 1.40% and the annual reactive rate is l.85% in 1978, 1.31% in 1979, 0.92% in 1980 and 4.87% in 1981. The biologic false positive rate of VDRL test was 17.5% among 126 patients in whom TPHA test was done, using TPHA test as standard. The overall rate of condyloma acuminatum patients was 0.16% and the annual rate was 0.13% in 1976, 0.21% in 1977, 0.16% in 1978, 0.15% in 1979 and 0.17% in 1980.

7.The pathogenic mechanisms of motor weakness following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage: A review
Neurology Asia 2017;22(3):185-191
Motor weakness is one of the neurological complication that can occur after aneurysmal subarachnoid
hemorrhage (SAH); incidence of motor weakness of 14~29% has been reported. Detailed information
on the pathogenic mechanism of motor weakness is essential for brain rehabilitation because it enables
estimation of the severity of injury, establishment of scientific rehabilitative strategies, and prediction
of motor outcomes by clinicians. However, the exact pathogenic mechanisms of motor weakness
following aneurysmal SAH have not been clearly elucidated. In this article, 14 previous studies on
pathogenic mechanisms in patients with aneurysmal SAH were reviewed according to the location of
the lesion (cerebral cortex, brainstem, spinal cord, and peripheral nerve). The following pathogenic
mechanisms have been suggested: vasospasm, cerebral ischemia, hydrocephalus, compression of
cerebral cortex, neural injury, spinal cord infarction, and radiculo-neuropathy. Considering the high
incidence of aneurysmal SAH and motor weakness following aneurysmal SAH, we believe that the
pathogenic mechanisms of motor weakness have been relatively understudied. More effort should be
taken to investigate this important topic.
