PURPOSE: Purpose of this study was to examine the impact of group dynamic imagery therapy on job stress and psychosocial stress of female nurses. METHODS: The research questions were tested through a quasi-experimental research with a non-equivalent pretest-posttest design. Seventy-seven female nurses from G University Hospital in J City participated in this study; 38 of them were assigned to the experimental group, and the rest were assigned to the control group. Once a week for 8 continuous weeks, participants in the experimental group had 90-minute group dynamic imagery therapies. RESULTS: 1) The level of job stress was significantly lower in the experimental group than the control group, and 2) The level of Psychosocial stress was also significantly lower in the experimental group than the control group. CONCLUSION: The results of the study indicate that group dynamic imagery therapy can be an effective intervention against job stress and psychosocial stress of female nurses.

Malignant mixed mullerian tumor (MMMT) of the ovary is very uncommon neoplasm consisting of both a sarcomatous and carcinomatous component. These tumors usually present in an advanced stage and are characterized by rapid growth and poor survival and appropriate treatment remained controversal. The authors have experienced one case of primary malignant mixed mullerian tumor of the ovary and reprot our experiences with a brief review of literature.

The authors report a case of uterine tumor resembling ovarian sex-cord tumor in a 31-year-old woman with emphasis on immunohistochemistry. Histologically this case showed identical features to a well-recognized endometial stromal tumor except for focal epithelial-like differentiation that resembled sex-cord tumors of the ovary. The sex-cord like differentiation of tumor cells were manifested by trabeculae, plexiform cords, and gland-like pattern. We diagnosed this case, according to the features described by Clement and Scully(1976), as uterine tumor resembling ovarian sex-cord tumor, group I. Although the histogenesis of this tumor is unclarified, most authors believe that this tumor may be originated from multipotent mesenchymal cells of the uterus. On immunohistochemical stains, Desmin was uniformly reactive in epithelial-like cells and in focal areas of endometrial stromal sarcoma-like component. Vimentin was partly reactive in all tumor components, however EMA was non-reactive.

Mullerian adenosarcoma is a tumor composed of a mixture of glandular and stromal elements in which the glandular component appear to be neoplastic but, histologically, benign with the stromal component showing varying degrees of malingancy. We report a case of ovarian m llerian adenosarcoma with sex cord stroma differentiation in the stromal components. A 57 year-old female who presented with palpable mass in the right lower abdomen had undergone through salingo-oophorectomy. Grossly, the ovary was multicystic, and partly showed a solid appearance with multiple polypoid projections into the dilated cystic spaces. On microscopic examination, the tumor consisted of benign to borderline epithelial glands that were lined by variety of mullerian epithelia and sarcomatous component with sex cord-stromal elements, which include sertoliform tubules, Leydig cell like clusters, and granulosa cells.
