About the Lab

Professor Sung-Wook Lee's research lab focuses on interdisciplinary biomedical and environmental research, spanning functional materials from natural resources, urological surgical innovations, and risk behavior analysis in public health. The lab investigates bioactive compounds in edible wild plants for their antioxidant properties and potential health applications, while also advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques such as single-port urological surgery. Additionally, the lab contributes to radiation safety and nuclear system analysis through uncertainty quantification in severe accident scenarios. These diverse research directions reflect a strong commitment to translational science and health technology development.

ANALYSIS OF UNCERTAINTY QUANTIFICATION METHOD BY COMPARING MONTE-CARLO METHOD AND WILKS’ FORMULA
Seung Wook Lee, Bub Dong Chung, Young-Seok Bang, Sung Won Bae
SJR Q2Nuclear Engineering and TechnologyOA

An analysis of the uncertainty quantification related to LBLOCA using the Monte-Carlo calculation has been performed and compared with the tolerance level determined by the Wilks’ formula. The uncertainty range and distribution of each input parameter associated with the LOCA phenomena were determined based on previous PIRT results and documentation during the BEMUSE project. Calulations were conducted on 3,500 cases within a 2-week CPU time on a 14-PC cluster system. The Monte-Carlo exercise sh

Journal of Andrology

This prospective study evaluated the safety of tadalafil 5 mg taken once a day in terms of hypotensive side effects and whether it improves lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and restores sexual function in patients with erectile dysfunction who are receiving concomitant α-blocker (AB) therapy for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). A total of 158 LUTS/BPH patients receiving AB therapy for ≥3 months were given tadalafil 5 mg once a day. Before treatment with tadalafil (V1), and 4 weeks (V2) and

PURPOSE: We evaluated the usefulness of laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) ureterolithotomy with a homemade single port device for upper ureteral stones in patients in whom previous shockwave lithotripsy or ureteroscopic stone surgery had failed or the stone was suspected to be impacted. PATIENTS AND METHODS: LESS ureterolithotomy was performed on 30 patients by using a homemade single port device composed of an Alexis wound retractor and surgical glove. The mean age of the patients was 42.47±1

This paper describes the radio transceiver for Bluetooth application operating at 2.4 GHz ISM band. The transceiver uses low cost CMOS technology and integrates all components including PLL. Only RF matching elements and bypassing capacitors for power supply stability are required for a complete transceiver. The proposed transceiver is implemented with 0.25 μm CMOS process and draws 60 mA from 2.7 V supply in receiver active mode.

Seung Wook Lee, Jeong Woo Lee, Jae Hoon Chung, Jung Ki Jo
SJR Q1The World Journal of Men s HealthOA

HSP27 expression increased depending on the prostate cancer cell line. This meant that HSP27 expression was related to the prostate cancer malignancy level. Additionally, the higher the treatment concentration in PC-3 was, the higher the HSP27 expression was. This result showed that doxazosin induced apoptosis of prostate cancer.
