Many kinds of operations have been devised to treat Kienböck's disease with variable results. But no one have mentioned about the advantage of early motion in distraction to prevent the fibro-osseous ankylosis and carpal collapse. Two cases with Kienböck's disease were treated by the complete excision of the lunate and replacement of it with pronator quadratus muscle pedicled rectangular bone graft. Once these procedures were accomplished, the distraction-motion devices were used to maintain the joint surfaces separated at predetermined distances while kinematically normal joint motion was gradually restored. Although the experience is limited to two cases, the final results seem to be very promising.

PURPOSE: Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia has benign courses in most cases, but the possibility of toxicity of hyperbilirubinemia required courses examination of every newborn infant to identify the severity of hyperbilirubinemia progress. This study aims to see how the body surface area of newborns influences the decline rate of serum bilirubin level in conventional phototherapy. METHODS: Based on the charts of the Pediatrics Department, Dae-Dong Hospital from January 2003 to December 2006, we analyzed 168 neonates diagnosed as neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (serum bilirubin > or =15 mg/dL) in retrospective way. We excluded newborn infants under 37 weeks of gestation and under 2,500 g birth weight and classified neonates into four groups by the calculation results of body surface area:males above 75 percentile (group A), males below 25 (group B), females above 75 (group C), and females below 25 (group D). RESULTS: Out of 168 samples, the number of group A, B, C, D was 30, 20, 20, 15 respectively. In conventional phototherapy, the mean decline rates of serum bilirubin of group B and D recording 2.09 mg/dL/day and 1.77 mg/dL/day, were significantly faster than those of group A and C recording 1.63 mg/dL/day and 1.41 mg/dL/day (P<0.01). No significant differences were found in different duration of phototherapy between groups below 25 percentile and those above 75 in both genders. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, body surface area influences of infants the decline rate of serum bilirubin level in conventional phototherapy.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify sleep quality according to a sleep model, to examine factors influencing sleep quality in nursing students and non nursing students. METHODS: A cross sectional study was conducted with 154 nursing students and 155 non nursing students at several universities and college in Seoul. A self administrated questionnaire was used for data collection and data were analyzed descriptive statistics, t test or ANOVA, and regression with SPSS/WIN 14.0 program. RESULTS: Sleep quality of nursing students is lower than non nursing students. Sleep qualities showed significant differences according to academic self efficacy, stress, depression and daytime sleepiness in nursing students and stress, depression and daytime sleepiness in non nursing students. Significant factors influencing sleep quality of nursing students was stress and for non nursing students, daytime sleepiness. CONCLUSION: The findings indicated the importance of sleep hygiene education for nursing students is that results in sleep quality.

PURPOSE: This study was carried out to investigate the effects of improvement in self-rated health, self-efficacy, perceived benefit and health promotion behavior by running a health promotion program through the coalition of industries, universities and districts. METHODS: This study was designed as non-equivalent control group research. Data were collected from 62 participants in a health promotion program who were enrolled in a community center (experimental group: 29, control group: 33). The program was applied from October to November, 2008. The health promotion program was composed of value, competence, action, and policy based on a multi-level health promotion model. Collected data were analyzed through chi2 test, t-test, and Wilcoxon test. RESULTS: After participating in the health promotion program, the experiment group showed statistically significant increases in self-efficacy, perceived benefit and health promotion behavior but not in self-rated health. CONCLUSION: It was proven that the health promotion program enhanced the health promotion level in the community.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of an interpersonal relationship program on interpersonal relationships, self-esteem, and depression in nursing students. METHODS: This was a quasi-experiment with a nonequivalent control group pre-posttest design. Sixty-four nursing students participated in the study with 31 in the experimental group and 33 in the control group. They were from 3 different colleges of nursing located in Seoul. The interpersonal relationship program was held 10 times over 10 weeks, taking 90 minutes per session. The interpersonal relationship change scale developed by Schlein and Guemey, Rosenberg's self-esteem scale, and CED-S for depression were the instruments used in the study. The data collection period was from January 4 to March 8, 2011, and the collected data were analyzed with SPSS 14.0 using the X2-test, t-test, and paired t-test. RESULTS: The results showed a significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in terms of the degree of interpersonal relationships, self-esteem, and depression. CONCLUSION: The results indicate that interpersonal relationship programs have positive effects for improving interpersonal relationships and self-esteem, and decreasing depression in nursing students.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the ovary is rare and usually arise from preexisting cystic teratomas, endometriosis or Brenner tumors which undergo carcinomatous degeneration in their epithelial elements. Some of squamous cell carcinoma of the ovary is known to be associated with cervical neoplasm, but the pathogenesis is still unknown. Recently we experienced one case of ovarian squamous cell carcinoma in patients with microinvasive squamous cell carcinoma of uterine cervix. We report this case with possible pathogenesis and brief review of literatures.
