3.Sleep-Related Eating Disorder.
Sleep Medicine and Psychophysiology 2011;18(1):5-9
Sleep-related eating disorder (SRED) is a newly recognized parasomnia that describes a clinical condition of compulsive eating under an altered level of consciousness during sleep. Recently, it is increasingly recognized in clinical practice. The exact etiology of SRED is unclear, but it is assumed that SRED might share features of both sleepwalking and eating disorder. There have been also accumulating reports of SRED related to the administration of various psychotropic drugs, such as zolpidem, triazolam, olanzapine, and combinations of psychotropics. Especially, zolpidem in patients with underlying sleep disorders that cause frequent arousals, may cause or augment sleep related eating behavior. A thorough sleep history is essential to recognition and diagnosis of SRED. The timing, frequency, and description of food ingested during eating episodes should be elicited, and a history of concurrent psychiatric, medical, sleep disorders must also be sought and evaluated. Interestingly, dopaminergic agents as monotherapy were effective in some trials. Success with combinations of dopaminergic and opioid drugs, with the addition of sedatives, has also been reported in some case reports.

6.Relationship between Sleep, Suicide, and Serotonin.
Sleep Medicine and Psychophysiology 2013;20(1):5-9
One of hypothesis is that sleep loss related to a decrease in serotonergic activity plays a significant role in attempted suicide. A growing evidence suggests that central serotonergic activity plays a key role in the etiology of suicide. It has been reported that the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA), the main metabolite of serotonin, were reduced in suicide attempters. In addition, there is evidence that tryptophan hydroxylase is associated with suicide. The association between sleep and suicide was also suggested by some researchers. Several recent studies have showed the association between sleep disturbance and suicide rates in patients with mental disorders and in a general population. In addition, it has been suggested that serotonin plays a role in maintaining arousal and regulating muscle tone and in regulating some of the phasic events of REM sleep. Especially, it is well-known that 5-HT2 receptors are related to slow wave sleep. In conclusion, it is clear that sleep, serotonin activity, and suicide are linked, although the direction of causation needs clarification. In future, large population-based cohort studies are needed to demonstrate the direction of causation in the relationships between sleep, serotonin activity, and suicide.

8.The Scientic Basis and Problem in Total Hip Replacement
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1979;14(4):591-600
The treatment of hip diseases by total hip replacement has grown during the past 10 years all over the world, and in our orthopedic society this surgery seems to be growing increasingly. At this polnt it must be important for hip surgeon to have full range of basic knowledge in the total hip implant to avoid unexpected complications. In this article a short history of hip arthroplasty, the inherent defect and basic biomechanical aspect of total hlp are presented. And some preventive measures are also suggested for the inherent defect of total hip implant.

10.A Clinical Study of Meniscal Lesions
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1981;16(3):546-551
We meniscectomized 27 knees with meniscal lesions for disabling symptoms after the diagnosis by clinical evaluation and arthrography from January, 1970 to May,1979. Statistical analyses were as follows: 1. Male was affected 2 times more than female. The most meniscal lesions occurred in the age group between 10 and 29 years old (67%). 2. The lateral menisci were affected 2 times than the medial. In the former, the middle segments were affected most frequently and in the latter, the posterior horns. 3. The general diagnosis of torn meniscus for the 27 knees was correct by clinical evaluation for 19(71%), by arthrography for 20 (74%) and by two methods for 24 (88%). 4. In the follow-up study, satisfactory results were obtained in. 79%.
