2.Effect of Some Immunosuppressive Agents on the Survival of Experimental Skin Homografts in Rats.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1970;8(2):23-29
Anti-rat lymphocyte rabbit serum was prepared with lymphoid tissue of rat spleen. Prednisolone, Imuran and this antiserum were used to prolong the survival of full-thickness sliin homograft in albino rats. The results were as follows. l. Administratio of tle anti-rat lymphocyte rabbit serum in a dose of 0. 3cc for 2 days before grafting and 0. 3cc every 3 days until rejection resulted in prolongation of the, urvival of the grafts. (Mean, 15.3 days) 2. Administration of preInisolone to the recipients in a dose of 2mg/kg/day from 7 days Iielore grafting to the time of rejection resulted in prolongation of survival of the, rafts. (Mean, 8.4 days) 3. Adminitration of Imuran to the reciipients in a dose of 5mg/kg/day from 7 day defore gvafting to the time cif rejection resulted in prolongation of the survival of ther afts.

5.Study on Peripheral T - Cell Pepulation in Parients with Leprosy.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1978;16(1):3-7
It is generally believed that the defense against mycobacterium leprae is largely mediated through cell-mediated immunity(CMI) and several investigators have reported a defective CMI in patients with leprosy. especially the lepromatous from. This study was undertaken to ennumerate the peripheral T-cell population in leprosy patients for evaluation of one aspect of its immune status. Fiftu-two patients with leprosy(26 tuberculoid, 17 active lepromatous, 9 inactive lepromatous) entered in this study. All the patients are under regular antileprosy chemotherapy for varing periods(10 months to 14 years). Peripheral blood T0lymphocytes were enumerated by the E-rosette technique and compared with normal healthy control. The results were as follows: The mean T-cell percentage in peripheral blood was 50.6% in 17 active lepromatous leprosy patients, 62.2% in 9 inactive lepromatous leprosy patients, 67.7% in 26 tuberculoid patients and 69.5% in 17 normal healthy controls, There was marked decrease in the peripheral T-cell ratio in active lepromatous group (p<0,005) and less marked decrease in inactive lepromatous group (0.01.

6.A case of imflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nervus.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1977;15(1):107-111
Inflammatory linear verrueous epidermal nevus (ILVEN) first mentioned by Unna in 1896 is a rare variant of epidermal nevus characterized clinically by early onset in childhood, moderate to marked pruritus and persistent clinical course and histopathologically by predominant features of a chronic dermatitis or psoriasis. We present tbe first recorded case of a typical ILVEN developed in a 20-year-old Korean male, who has had an intensely pruritic linear verrucous patch, involving the entire length of the posterior aspeet of right upper extremity, volar aspect of right thumb and nails of ind.ex and ring finger since 5 years. Microscopic examination of the skin, biopsy specimens from the lesion on the right elbow joint area and the palm showed hyperkeratosis witb focal parakeratosis, moderate to marked acanthosis and elongation of rete ridges and papilla with mild exocytosis and moderate perivascular lymphocytic infiltration. Literature were reviewed.

7.PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECT OF PATIENT SATISFACTION AND ACCEPTANCE OF COMPLETE DENTURES.
The Journal of Korean Academy of Prosthodontics 1999;37(4):494-505
In spite of the progress in techniques and materials of the prosthodontic rehabilitation of patients with complete edentulous arches, prosthodontists still face patients' complaints about dissatisfaction and discomfort from their dentures. In the past several decades, prosthodontists tried to find the factors that influence the patient's satisfaction with dentures. However the results are contraversial especially with the psychological factor. In this study using patient denture satisfaction questionnaire' and Hopkins Symptom Checklist, we tried to find the correlation between the patient's denture satisfaction and the patient's psychological aspects. 23 complete edentulous patients who have visited the Department of Prosthodontics, Yonsei University Dental Hospital from September 1998 to June 1999 for complete denture treatment were asked to complete the questionnaires 4 to 6 weeks after the upper and lower complete delivery. After the measurement of validity of the questionnaires, correlations between the patient's general satisfaction with their new upper and lower complete dentures and the other satisfaction questions including the satisfactions with esthetics, retention, mastication, speech, comfort and other peoples's opinion and between the patient's general satisfaction with their new upper and lower complete dentures and the 5 symptoms of Hopkins Symptoms Checklist including somatic, obsessivecompulsive, interpersonal sensitivity, depression and anxiety were analyzed. Among the several satisfaction questionnaire items, comfort with the lower denture showed highest relation to the patient's general satisfaction with dentures. However, only the anxiety scale of Hopkins Symptom Checklist among the other symptom scales was related to the patient's general satisfaction with dentures. The two questionaires used in this study turned out to be valid means of analyzing patient's denture satisfaction and psychological status before and after the complete denture treatment.

8.Xerderma Pigmentosum: Report of a Case.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1974;12(3):187-190
A case of xeroderma pigmentosum complicated with squamous cell carcinoma is presented. A 15 year old male has had a history of a single walnut-sized tumorous growth of 6 months duration on tip of his nose and multiple light to dark brown pigmented macules on face, ears, neck, upper chest, extensor surface of both foreams and dorsal hands of about 14 years duration, recognizable photosensitivity of the cutaneous lesions and photophobia and lacrimation since early childhood. Xeroderma pigrnentosum was suspected under clinical background. Biopsy was performed on the facial pigmented lesions and on the tumorous mass on the nose, which revealed xeroderma pigmentosum and squamous cell carcinoma, respectively. The tumor was excised totally under local 2% procaine anesthesia, resulting in healing with scar formation and no recurrence was observed during 6 month's follow up. Dermabrasion of the entire face was done, with complete removal of the xerodermic skin lesions, but they all recurred after about 1 month.

Post-caval or retrocaval ureter is a congenital anomaly of the vascular system. This anomaly almost. always involve the rt. ureter and occurs more frequently in male We have reported a 36 years male of rt. postcaval ureter that was resulted marked hydronephrosis due to compression of rt. ureter by vena cava. Three months after the operation, excretory urogram showed previous caliectasis and pyelectasis were moderately reduced and previous dislocated ureteral course was corrected.

10.A Clinical Investigation of Patients with Psoriasis.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1982;20(1):43-51
Psoriasis is one of the relatively common cutaneous disorders, affecting 0.1% to 3.0% of the general population in the world. However, it is recorded that the disease is characterized by its highly variable clinical manifestations and incidence influenced by the racial, geographic and environmental factors. There is a dearth of information for the incidence and clinical manifestations of psoriasis, with the exception of two small-scale and one questionnaire surveys in Korea. This study was aimed to investigate the clinical manifestations and clinic incidence of psoriasis and was based on analysis of 301 psoriatics seen between January, 1978 and August, 1981 (3 years and 8 months) at the Department of Dermatology, Seoul National University Hospital. The results were summarized as follows; 1. In this series of 301 patients, 50.5%(152) were male and 49.5%(149) were female. No significance was attached to the sex preponderance. More than three quarters were aged between 20 and 29 years. 2. The mean age of onset in male was 25.7 years and in female it was 23.0 years, indicating a slightly earlier onset in female. The peak age of incidence in male was between 20 and 29 years and in female, between 10 and 19 years. 3. The mean duration of t.he diseases for the total sample was 7.9 years.
