Association of the Superoxide Dismutase (V16A) and Catalase (C262T) Genetic Polymorphisms with the Clinical Outcome of Patients with Acute Paraquat Intoxication
Joong-Rock Hong, Su-Jin Seok, Du-Shin Jeong, Sang-Gon Lee, Hyo-Wook Gil, Jong-Oh Yang, Eun-Young Lee, Sae-Yong Hong
Korean J Intern Med. 2010;25(4):422-428. Published online November 27, 2010
Background/AimsMany patients with acute paraquat (PQ) intoxication die even at low PQ concentrations, whereas others with similar concentrations recover. Therefore, it is possible that individual differences in antioxidant capacity are responsible for the variable clinical out..

N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide as a marker of disease severity in patients with pericardial effusions
Shin-Jae Kim, Eun-Seok Shin, Sang-Gon Lee
Korean J Intern Med. 2008;23(2):78-86. Published online June 20, 2008
Backgraound/AimsN-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) has recently been introduced as a useful marker in diagnosing underlying disease in patients with dyspnea and for determining the prognosis of patients with heart failure. The purpose of this study was to ev..

Congenital Double-Orifice Mitral Valve with Mitral Regurgitation due to Flail Leaflet in an Elderly Patient
Shin-Jae Kim, Eun-Seok Shin, Sang-Gon Lee
Korean J Intern Med. 2005;20(3):251-254. Published online September 30, 2005
We report here on a case of double-orifice mitral valve with mitral regurgitation in a 75-year-old female who had complaints of mild dyspnea. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography showed two orifices that were supplied by their own chordae from a different papillary muscle. Color Dop..

Terminal QRS Complex Distortion on the Admission Electrocardiogram in Anterior Acute Myocardial Infarction and Association with Residual Flow and Infarct Size after Primary Angioplasty
Hyun Suk Yang, Cheol Whan Lee, Myeong-Ki Hong, Dae-Hyuk Moon, Young-Hak Kim, Sang-Gon Lee, Ki-Hoon Han, Jae-Joong Kim, Seong-Wook Park, Seung-Jung Park
Korean J Intern Med. 2005;20(1):21-25. Published online March 31, 2005
BackgroundTerminal QRS complex distortion on admission is a simple and reliable predictor of infarct size in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). It is uncertain, however, whether this reflects reduced myocardial perfusion of the infarct area and a larger area of t..
