PURPOSE: The reported clinical manifestations in Turner syndrome were different by karyotypes, countries and races. So, We evaluated the physical findings & medical problems in patient with Turner syndrome according to karyotype. METHODS: We examined prospectively 53 cases that diagnosed as Turner syndrome by chromosome study at the Pediatric Endocrine Clinic, YUMC from May 1999 to Aug 1999. According to the karyotype, they were divided into 3 groups:45, X(22 cases, 41.5%), mosaicism(18 cases, 34%) and structural aberration group(13 cases, 24.5%), and 53 cases were reevaluated by prepared protocol of 22 abnormal physical findings and 4 medical problems. Chi-square test was used for statistic analysis. RESULTS: 1)In case of 45, X group, they had short stature(100%), cubitus valgus(95.5%), widely spaced nipples(86.4%), shield chest(72.7%), low posterior hair line(68.2%), in case of mosaicism group, they had short stature(100%), cubitus valgus(72.2%), high arched palate(66.7%), widely spaced nipples(61.1%), short neck(61.1%) and in case of structural aberration group, they had short stature(100%), high arched palate (92.3%), widely spaced nipples(92.3%), low posterior hair line(76.9%), shield chest (76.9%), in frequency order. Short stature was the most common finding in Turner syndrome. The incidence of high arched palate was significantly higher in structural aberration group(P<0.05). 2)In case of 45, X group, they had otitis media(63.6%), thyroid problem(4.5%) and no renal problem and cardiac problem, in case of mosaicism group, they had otitis media(38.9%), thyroid problem(5.6%) and no renal problem and cardiac porblem and in case of structural aberration group, they had otitis media(61.5%), thyroid problem(15.4%), renal problem(7.7%) and cardiac problem(7.7%) in frequency order, they had no statistical difference in among three groups. CONCLUSION: In case of 45, X group, the incidence of cubitus valgus, webbed neck were more common findings and of high arched palate, micrognathia were less common findings compared to other group. In case of mosaicism group, the incidence of micrognathia, epicanthal fold were more common findings and wide spaced nipples, antimongoloid fissure were less common findings compared to other group. In case of structural aberration group, the incidence of high arched palate is most common finding among 3 group(P<0.05) and pigmented nevi and epicanthal fold were less common findings compared to other group. The incidence of medical problems such as otitis media and thyroid problem were than other foreign country reports.

PURPOSE: This study was a descriptive research to investigate the health behavior, health status and self-efficacy according to the concepts of Sasangin. METHOD: Participants in this study were 214 nurses in hospitals in Seoul, Kyunggi and B city. Data were collected using interview with questionnaires from Oct.2 to Nov.30, 2003. The measurement tools were the QSCC II by Kim et al., Health Behavior by Kim, CMI by Nam and self-efficacy by Sherer, all of which have resported reliability. For the purpose of the study, the collected data were analyzed by Frequency, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficients. RESULTS: 1) There was a significant difference in health behavior according to constitution (F=1.273, p=.020) 2) There was a negative correlation between health behavior and health status for Taeumin (r=-.376, p=.002) There was also a negative correlation between health status and self-efficacy for Taeumin (r=-.271, p=.029). CONCLUSION: The results of this study showed that there were significant differences in health behavior, health status and self-efficacy for the participants according to the constitution of each nurse. So, based on these results, determining and fully understanding the client's constitution are important as these are the foundations of Eum-Yang and personal characteristics. Therefore, we have to consider the constitution when we provide nursing care. However, this study did not show a correlation between health behavior, health status and self efficacy for Soyangin and Soeumin. Further research is needed to determine if there is a relation between these variables according to various constitutions.

Adenomyotic cyst is very rare disease, their sizes are mostly lesser 5mm. The intrauterine adenomyotic cyst may arise from progressive expansion of cyst due to progressive menstrual bleeding. Authors experienced a case of large adenomyotic cyst within myometrium occuring in a l9-year-old woman, and who was accompanied with endometriosis. The cyst was about 3 x 3em sized, and had chocolate colored thick viscous contents, We experienced one case of adenomyotic cyst which was thought to be degenerated uterine myoma, so we report the case with a brief review of the concerned literatures.

Primary Myelofibrosis*

Malignant mixed miillerian tumor (MMMT) was one of the rare uterine sarcoma. This tumor is composed of sarcoma and carcinoma. Primary MMMT in the peritoneum is among the rarest sites for MMMT. MMMT is highly malignant and the prognosis is grave due to frequent recurrence and metastasis. In the world literature, only 22 cases with primary MMMT of the peritoneum have been reported and most of these were single report. We report one case of primary MMMT in the peritoneum with a brief review.
