The purpose of this study is to determine the need of education about BSE for the medical members, to survey about the performance and the knowledge of BSE in patients who operated on subtotal and total mastectomy and to compare the regularity of BSE with the severity of breast cancer. The subjects were 163 patients with operated on mastectomy who participated were interviewed in the S university Hospital. The collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and t-test, One-way ANOVA and Pearson Correlation with SPSSWIN program. Results were obtained as follows: 1. There was no statistical difference between in the regular group of the mammography and the regular BSE group(F=0.558, P=0.458). 2. There was statistical difference between the method of detection and the severity of the breast cancer(F=3.359, P=0.011). 3. There was statistical difference between regularity of the BSE and the severity of breast cancer(F=3.301. P=0.019). 4. There was showed higher severity of the breast cancer in the elderly patients (r=0.l72, P=0.019). 5. There was showed higher severity of the breast cancer in the lower educational level(r=-0,170, P=0.033). According to this study need to the development of the educational program about the BSE and the future research about the regular BSE of the high risk group in the breast cancer.

We observed and analysed relating problems concerned to 21 patients of the acute carbamate intoxications, visited the emergency room of cheonju Presbyterian Medical center, from Oct 1993 to july 1996. The results were as follows : 1) Male was more prevalent than female with a ratio of 2:1 in sex distribution and the highest incidence of age group was in third decade and sixth decade of age in male sex 2) the most common drug of intoxication was deltanet in 7 cases, the remainders were bassa in 3 cases, b.p in 3 cases, huradan, qratel and methomyl in 2 cases, each, in order of frequency. 3)Among the exposed carbamate in 13 patients with respiratory failure, detanet was the most common in 6 cases, b.p in 3 cases, methomyl in 2 cases, bassa and huradan each in 1 case. 4) The serum ChE activity of patients were significantly reduced compare to normal.8 patients were between 20~50% of normal,8 patients were above 50% of normal, 4 patients were between 10~20% of normal, only 1 patient was below 10~20% of normal. 5) In 13 patients with respiratory failure, seam ChE activities were below 50% of normal. 6) In all patients with respiratory failure except 1 case time to recovery of the respiratory failure was below 48hrs. 7) Mean dose of atropine administered within first full atropinization and fist 24 hours was significantly higher in patients with than patients without respiratory failure in staitistics(29.3+/-23.3mg, 54.5+/-49.5mg VS 7.6+/-3.6mg, 13.6+/-6.9m) 8) 3 patients among a total of 21 patients expired. So that motality rate was 14.3%. Among the expired cases, 1 patients discontinued treatment due to economic problems and only 2 patients died in hospital during the treatment.
