PURPOSE: This study was done to verify the validity and reliability of a Psychiatric Nurses' Image Scale (PSYNIS) for Korean psychiatric and mental health nurses. METHODS: A methodological study design was used with an exploratory factor analysis, Pearson's correlation, and a fitness of the modified mode for validity. Cronbach's alpha coefficients and an alternative-form method for reliability were used. Psychiatric Nurses' Image Scale (PSYNIS) was tested with 345 psychiatric and mental health nurses, residing in G city, J city, and J province. Data were collected from Jun. 1 to Aug. 2, 2012. Responses were obtained from respondents through self reports method and each item had a possible score of 5. Collected data were analyzed using the SPSS 20.0 and LISREL 8.54 programs. RESULTS: The 28 items making up the instrument were classified into the following 4 factors: 'Professionalism', 'Activism', 'Coordination competence', and 'Personalism'. These factors explained 63.2% of the total variance. Fitness of the modified mode was good (chi2= 1052.30, RMSEA=.05, GFI=.90, AGFI=.86, NFI=.97, and CFI=.98). The reliability of the PSYNIS was .95 (Cronbach's alpha). CONCLUSION: Results of the present study suggest that the PSYNIS is useful for efficiently evaluation of the image of psychiatric nurses.

Segmental Spinal Instrumentation is effective operative procedure in unstable fracture and fracture-dislocation of the thoracolumbar spine, providing rigid spinal stability and reduces needs of external support and complications. Fifty nine patients with unstable fracture and fracture-dislocation of thoracolumbar spine were treated with Harrington rod instrumentation and sublaminar wiring(31 patients) and Luque rod instrumentation with sublaminar wiring(28 patients) in Hyun Dai Hae Seong Hospital, Ulsan, Paik Hospital, Pusan from Dec. 1983 to April 1986. We have analyzed the results of treatment about two type of S.S.I. and obtained following conclusions; l. In 59 patients, T12 level injury was 17 cases, Ll level was 25 cases and so T12 and Ll involvement were 71%. 2. By Francis Denis classification, 28 cases were burst type fracture, 20 cases were fracture-dislocation type, 6 cases were seat belt type and 5 cases were wedge compression type. 3. In Harrington rod with S.S.I., initial kyphotic angle was 22.4° and postoperative angle was 7.4° and correction rate was 66.9%; in Luque rod with S.S.I., preoperative kyphotic angle was 21.7° and postoperative angle was 6.5° and correction rate 69.6%. So there was no difference of correction rate in two type of S.S.I. 4. In Harrington rod with S.S.I., the loss of reduction was 1.2° and the loss was 7%; in Luque rod with S.S.I., the loss of reduction was 7.2° and the loss rate was 48%. So the loss of reduction of Luque rod with S.S.I. was greater than that of Harrington rod with S.S.I. 5. After removal of implants, Luque rod with S.S.I. patients have better range of motion than Harrington rod with S.S.I. patients clinically, but it needs more follow-up because of a few cases(18 cases).

This study was designed to compare the smoothness by glazing method with that by polishing method after 48 specimens of Ceramco II block, one of porcelain materials used for PFM, were baked according to the manufacturer's directions. The specimens were roughened with new green stone at 15,000rpm for 30 seconds and sandblasted with 25microliteraluminum oxide for 15 seconds. They were divided into 4 groups at random, and 4 groups were prepared as follows : Group I : specimens were autoglazed and overpolished with polishing system. Group II specimens were polished with only polishing system. Group IIIspecimens were glazed after adding glazing liquid, vitachrom "L"-fluid (vita zahnfabrik co. Germany) to the rough surface Group v : specimens were just autoglazed Using the surface roughness tester, Ra, Rmax, and Rz were estimated 5 times per specimen, and recording process of mean value was repeated 3 times. The results were as follows : 1. The Ra of group I and group IIwas lower than group IIIand group IV (p<001). 2. There was lower value of Rz in group I and group II than group III and group IV (p<001). 3. The Rmax of group I(overpolished with polishing system after autoglazing) and group II(polished with only polishing system) was lower than group III(glazed after adding glazing liquid) and group IV (autoglazed) (p<001). 4. There was not a statistically significant difference between group I and II and between group III and IV (p>001). 5. The roughness was increase in order of group I,II,III,IV in SEM

We observed 2 cases of multiple trichoepithelioma, which occured in 25-year- old male and 20-year-old female. They visited our department for multiple skin rashes on the face of 8 years duration in male and 7 years' duration in female patient. Both of them have similar skin lesions characterized by multiplel waxy gshiny, skin colored, firm papules scattered on the nasolabial folds, both eyelids and forehead. Each one of them has a history of similar skin lesions in the family. Literatures are briefly reviewed for discussion of clinical and histopathologicl findings in this disease.

Since the first report of completely amputated thumb replantation by Tamai in 1965, replantation surgery has been popularized with increasing success rate and improving functional regain. Recently, difficult replantation such as traction avulsion amputation has been challenged and good success rate and function have been reported. We have analized 34 cases of upper extremity and finger replantation in 23 patients, which were performed at the Dept. of Orthopedic surgery. Hyun Dai Hae Seong Hospital, Ulsan, Korea, from June 1982 to January 1986. The results were as follows: 1. Male patients were 22, female was 1, left upper limbs and digits injuries were more prevalent(16: 7), and average age was 25 years old. 2. The most common injury was done by cutting machine. 3. The number of amputations of fingers were almost same in all fingers and most prevalent in zone III(26 cases, Danial classification). 4. Success rate of replantation was 82.4% In cases of less than 6 hrs ischemic time, the rate was 93.4%, and more than 6 hrs ischemic time, rate was 33.3% 5. Performing arterial anastomosis prior to venous anastomosis, can find out main draining vein, and with one vein and one artery anastomosis, can get good results distal to zone IV. 6. Functional results were satisfactory, evaluating by modified. Tamai score, average 87.5. 7. 6 cases of digital replantations distal to sublimis tendon insertion have good results functionally, cosmetically and technically easy (Tamai score 98). 8. 5 cases of traction avulsion amputations needed many additional surgery to restore function, but end results were relatively satisfactory.
