About the Lab
Professor Young-Sik Kim's research lab specializes in biomedical diagnostics and advanced antenna design, with a focus on rare medical conditions such as granular cell tumors and cystic lymphangiomas, as well as the development of reconfigurable and multiband antennas for wireless communication systems. The lab integrates clinical pathology with biomedical engineering, emphasizing diagnostic imaging, immunohistochemical analysis, and the application of electromagnetic technologies in healthcare and telecommunications. Research directions include the identification and characterization of rare soft tissue tumors, multimodal imaging of breast malignancies, and the design of compact, efficient antennas for mobile and broadband applications.

15Granular cell tumors (GCT) are found in virtually any body site, including the tongue, skin, subcutaneous tissue, breast, rectum and vulva. However, they are rarely seen in the abdominal wall. We report here on a rare case of GCT in the rectus muscle of the abdominal wall. A 44-year-old woman presented with a non-tender, hard mass in the right lower abdominal wall. Upon microscopic examination, the tumor was found to comprise of large polygonal cells with an abundant eosinophilic granular cytopl
Hematological malignancies rarely affect the breast, and the majority of those that do are lymphomas. In this review, we describe the clinical aspects and multimodal imaging findings of breast lymphoma. We also illustrate the key clinical and radiological findings that allow it to be distinguished from various other malignant and benign diseases of the breast. Breast lymphoma manifests as a breast mass, a change in the subcutaneous tissue or the skin, or enlargement of the associated lymph node
A switchable Yagi-Uda antenna prototype with radiation pattern reconfiguration is presented in this letter. The proposed reconfigurable antenna is based on the concept of switching between the reflector and director of a Yagi-Uda antenna using a radio frequency PIN diode. As a result, the minimum/maximum radiation can be steered towards desired signals or away from interfering signals in opposite directions. The measured 10 dB impedance bandwidth and gain are 210 MHz (7%) and 8.02 dBi at 3 GHz,
Acquiring and executing of health knowledge was important in the school health education. Thus, the contents of textbook suitable to the developmental stage of teenager and applicable to future life should be concretely presented in the physical education textbook. The standard of selecting the range of physical education contents should be regulated, and the contents appropriate to standard should be presented in the physical education textbook. We make student utilize the textbook by showing t
The primary purpose of this study was to develop the curriculum of Leisure․Recreation professional in universities toward establishing the department of Leisure․Recreation. It is important to educate them the importance of producing qualified professionals in Leisure․Recreation at the university level. It must be recognized that the competencies that are generic to the Leisure․Recreation professionals must be identified to establish general guidelines for developing a curriculum. It is clear tha
We herein describe a case of cystic lymphangioma in the greater omentum of the remnant stomach, which is thought it to be related with subtotal gastrectomy 10 yr ago for early gastric cancer. A 76-yr-old man was admitted to our department with postprandial abdominal discomfort and bowel habit change. Intraabdominal multilocular cystic mass was detected by ultrasonography and computed tomography. We performed a complete En-bloc tumor resection including spleen and distal pancreas, and histologica
AA multiband meandered monopole antenna is proposed for digital video broadcasting handheld (DVB-H), global positioning system, personal communications service, wireless broadband (Wibro), and wireless local area network (WLAN) applications. The proposed antenna consists of a meandered line, a shorted length strip line, and a conductor strip between a meandered line and a microstrip feed line. By tuning a short strip and a conductor, a multiband impedance matching is achieved. The proposed anten
본 논문에서는 비대칭 십자형 접지면 슬롯 구조를 갖는 원형 편파 마이크로스트립 안테나와 접지면 슬롯 구조를 재구성하여 편파 특성을 변환시키는 방안을 제안하였다. 접지면의 슬롯 구조에 의해 방사 소자의 전류 흐름이 교란되어 원형 편파가 발생되며, PIN 다이오드의 on/off 동작 상태를 조정하여 비대칭 십자형 슬롯의 구조를 대칭적으로 변환시켜 원형 편파 특성을 재구성할 수 있다. 제안된 안테나는 원형 편파 형성을 위한 perturbation이 접지면에 위치하므로, PIN 다이오드 상태 조정을 위한 바이어스 회로 또한 접지면에 위치하게 되어 구현의 복잡도가 낮아지며, 이로 인해 방사 패턴의 왜곡을 감소시킬 수 있다. 제안된 안테나는 2.4 GHz 대역의 동작 주파수에서 임피던스 대역폭 150 MHz, 축비 대역폭 35 MHz, 최대 안테나 이득 1.7 dBi의 특성을 나타내었다.
In this paper, an accurate characterization of a fabricated X-band transmit/receive module is described with the process of generating control data to correct amplitude and phase deviations in an active electronically scanned array antenna unit. In the characterization, quantization errors (from both a digitally controlled attenuator and a phase shifter) are considered using not theoretical values (due to discrete sets of amplitude and phase states) but measured values (of which implementation e
Objective: Ultrasound-guided needle localization has been used prior to the surgical excision of nonpalpable breast lesions. The aim of the study was to assess the feasibility of the use of a saline immersion specimen ultrasound technique (immersion-US) to confirm the successful removal of breast lesions. Materials and Methods: The devised immersion-US technique was used to examine the excised tissues of 72 ultrasound-guided needle localized breast lesions of 58 patients (34 benign lesions, 30 h
The metastasis-suppressing role of the nm23 gene in the metastatic spread of malig-nant tumor is still debated. We examined the nm23-H1 protein expression and gene mutation in non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas to compare with the clinicopathologic para-meters. The expression of nm23-H1 protein was immunohistochemically examined in 150 cases of non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas; 85 diffuse large B cell lymphomas (DL-BCL), 18 marginal zone B cell lymphomas (MZL), 3 mantle cell lymphomas, 25 peri-pheral T cell lymphom
There has been no study reporting on the influence of sleep deprivation on the male reproductive system including sperm quality. In this study, we hypothesized that sleep deprivation could lead to adverse effect on the male reproductive system. The rats were divided into three groups: 1) control (home-cage, n=10); 2) SD4 (sleep deprivation for 4 days, n=10); and 3) SD7 (sleep deprivation for 7 days, n=10). Sleep deprivation was performed by a modified multiple platform method. Sperm quality (spe
Leisure․Recreation studies are characterized by extensive training in a disciplinary body of knowledge and service. It must be recognized that the competencies that are generic to the Leisure․Recreation professionals must be identified to establish general guidelines for developing a curriculum. It is clear that an individual acquires some professional knowledge and competencies through formal and informal educational programs. A career in the leisure service area requires unique foundational kn
