1.Clinical Study on Duodenal Polyps Prevalence Submitted to Upper Gaatrointestinal Endoscopy.
Korean Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy 1995;15(3):471-477
Retrospective studies of duodenal polyps have shown a prevalence of 0.3-4.6% in patients referred to upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, and histologic classification have been inconsistent. A prospective consecutive study was carried out in 3,871 patients referred to diagnostic endoscopy, Sixteen patients had polyps in the first part of duodenum, for a prevalence 0.41%(0.28-0.53%, 95% confidence interval). Fourteen polyps were either inflammatory(thirteen polyps) or ectopic gastric mucosa(one polyp). Two hyperplasitc polyps were founded. All polyps were benign and sessile, and most of polyps(75%) were solitary.

2.Arterial Oxygen Desaturation during Non-sedated Diagnostic Gastrointestinal Endoscopy.
Korean Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy 1996;16(1):25-29
We studied arterial oxygen desaturation, using a pulse oximeter, in 132 patients undergoing diagnostic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy to obtain predictive factors of the change. The baseline arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) level was 98.8+/- 1.2%. During the procedure, oxygen desaturation (SaO2>95%) was found in 90.2% of the patients, Mild oxygen desaturation (95>SaO2>90%) was found in 9.8% of the patients, and there was no severe oxygen desaturation(SaO2<90%). Age(P=0.52), gender(P =0.48), smoking(P =0.71), body mass index(P =0.32), and endoscopy time(P = 0.68) was not related to the degree of oxygen desaturation. These results suggest that oxygen desaturation, which may rarely induce serious cardiopulmonary events, is not frequently observed during non-sedated diagnostic upper endoscopy.

4.A Case of Duodenal Leiomyosarcoma.
Korean Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy 1995;15(3):531-537
Leiomyosarcoma of small intestine is an uncommon tumor, comprising less than 20 percent of all primary malignant tumors of small intestine. Duodenal leiomyosarcoma is rare disease which amount to about 20 percent of all small bowel malignancy but potentially curable tumors often diagnosed at an advanced age, so its five-year survival following resection approximates 50% in reported series. Recently, several cases of leiomyosarcomas of duodenum were diagnosed by hypotonic duodenograhy in Korea. We experienced a woman with duodenal leiomyosarcoma that was diagnosed by endoscopic duodenal biopsy and received currative resection of the tumor(Whipple's operation). We report the case with review of the literatures.

5.Clinical Study of Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) Induced Pancreatitis.
Korean Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy 1996;16(4):591-600
Background/Aims: Pancreatitis is one of the major complications of ERCP. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence rate and risk factors of ERCP- induced pancreatitis. Method: We analysed 99 consecutive patients(45 males and 44 females) undergoing ERCP from March to September, 1994. The level of serum amylase was measured and clinical assessment of pancreatitis was performed before, 24 hour, 48 hour, and 72 hour after ERCP. We defined clidical pancreatitis as combination of elevated amylase level over 2 days with abdomial pain and tenderness.(continue..)

9.The Perceived Social Support of the Family with Pneumoconiosis Patient.
Korean Journal of Rehabilitation Nursing 2004;7(2):220-230
PURPOSE: The study has planned to find out the perceived social support of the families with pneumoconiosis patients. METHOD: The subjects of the study were the 300 family care givers of the pneumoconiosis patients who were hospitalized in Taeback, Donghae and Jeongsun Occupational Medical Center. The Social Support Survey Instrument developed by Park(1985) was adopted. RESULTS: The Direct Perceived Supports showed statistically differences by the age(F=1.70 p=0.01) and the state of the disease(F=3.09 p=0.027) of the patients. The Health Situation Centered Support was different by the marietal situation(F=2.29 p=0.48) of the pneumoconiosis patients. The Indirect Perceived Supports were statistically different by sex(t=3.76 p=0.043) and relation with the patient (F=2.49 p=0.048), group joining(t=3.79 p=0.042) of the family care givers. The DPSs were statistically different by family income(F=2.25 p=0.025), family authority(F=2.81 p=0.031) and health insurance status(F=2.13 p=0.026). RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended to develop an active social support program at the pneumoconiosis care centers for the middle aged female family care givers of the pneumoconiosis patients with the support of Ministry of Labor, Ministry of Health and Welfare and other NGOs of pneumoconiosis.
