Journal of Korean Academy of Fundamental Nursing 2007;14(4):524-535
PURPOSE: The purpose was to identify the risk of drug use by adolescents. METHOD: The participants were 933 male students in the first grade of a high school in D city. The data were collected from Aug. 5th to Oct. 30th, 2004. The instrument was the High Risk Group Adolescent Drug User Screening Test (HIRIGADUST) developed by the Korea Adolescent Society (1996). The data were analyzed using SPSS. RESULTS: For substance use, 64.5% of the students answered that they had drunk, 40.3% that they had smoked, and 2.0% that they had tried drug use. For scores on HIRIGADUST regarding socio-demographic characteristics, there were significant differences depending on school type, personality, academic performance, economic status, and ability to talk with parents. For scores on HIRIGADUST regarding drug using-related characteristics, there were significant differences depending on drinking experience, frequency of drinking, amount of alcohol intake, smoking experience and number of cigarettes smoked. Of the students 27.2% students were in the high risk group. CONCLUSION: In schools, systematic and intensive assessment of drug use should be done, and if needed, a service system connected to clinics specializing in drug addiction should be established. Prevention education should be carried out continuously.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to analyze the research on adherence for secondary prevention in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) in Korea, and to identify the strategies for improvement that should be included in future studies. METHODS: Electric literature searches were conducted for Pubmed, CINAHL, RISS4U, KISTI, DBpia, KoreaMed, National Assembly Library, and National Library of Korea. A total of forty two articles published between 1986 and 2009 were selected based on established inclusion criteria. RESULTS: Forty research papers were related to nursing, and there was only one research paper focused on elderly people with CAD. There were no papers using concept analysis, qualitative study, or randomized controlled clinical trial. Almost all definitions of adherence were adopted from outdated compliance definitions with the attribute of 'paternalistic obligation'. Measurement tools were not based on theoretical framework of adherence but borrowed from tools for measuring self-care, health behavior, or self-efficacy. Overall patient's adherence was analyzed in most studies, except for a few studies which focused on diet and exercise only. Educational strategy was the main strategy used in intervention studies. CONCLUSIONS: The concept of adherence and measurement tools need to be clarified, along with development of the specific adherence interventions according to the type of adherence in patients with CAD.

PURPOSE: Although eosinophilia is a common laboratory finding in many neonatal intensive care units (ICUs), its causative mechanisms remain obscure. We aimed to determine the causes of eosinophilia in the neonatal ICU environment. METHODS: Serial eosinophil counts were determined weekly for 288 hospitalized, appropriately grown neonates. Infants were divided into four groups according to gestational age, and the incidence and etiologic factors of eosinophilia were retrospectively studied. RESULTS: Absolute eosinophilia (>700/mm3) was documented in 18% (52/288) of neonates. Twenty-two infants (42.3%) exhibited mild eosinophilia (700-999 cells/mm3), 27 (51.9%) exhibited moderate eosinophilia (1,000-2,999 cells/mm3), and 3 (5.8%) exhibited severe eosinophilia (>3,000 cells/mm3). Of the 288 infants studied, 54 suffered sepsis. Thirty of these 54 infants (55.6%) showed eosinophilia, and 22 out of the remaining 234 infants (9%) without sepsis showed eosinophilia, indicating that eosinophilia was more prevalent in the sepsis group (P <0.05). All 5 infants suffering from bronchopulmonary dysplasia showed eosinophilia, and 47 out of the remaining 283 infants (16.7%) without bronchopulmonary dysplasia showed eosinophilia. Thus, eosinophilia was more prevalent in the bronchopulmonary dysplasia group (P <0.05). Furthermore, increased prevalence of eosinophilia was associated with respiratory distress syndrome, ventilator use, blood transfusion, and total parenteral nutrition (P <0.05). CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that eosinophilia is influenced by sepsis and bronchopulmonary dysplasia, although it can also occur idiopathically at birth. Moreover, the potential role of eosinophils in conditions such as wound healing and fibrosis in sepsis or chronic lung disease may be a cause of eosinophilia.

A male baby with intrauterine growth retardation had a short neck, small hands and feet, hypospadia, both grade I hydronephrosis, type II atrial septal defect, and moderate valvular pulmonary stenosis. The routine chromosome and banding analyses revealed a 46,XY,rec(8)del(8)(p21)dup(8) (q24.1)inv(8)(p21q24.1)pat chromosome constitution. His mother has normal chromosomes, but the father had 46,XY,inv(8)(p21q24.1). Also his uncle had an inv(8) chromosome constitution. We used lymphocytes and examined 40 mitotic cells. All mitotic cells showed deletion of 8p21-->pter and duplication of 8q24.1-->qter. Because 8p21 involves secretion of macrophage and lymphocyte against cancer cells, long-term follow-up for cancer will be needed.

A 4-year old boy with supravalvular ascending aortic stenosis underwent sliding aortoplasty. After cardiopulmonary bypass weaning, aorta suture site was torn accidentally and the patient was in hypovolemic shock. Emergency cardiopulmonary bypass was reinstituted and the aorta was repaired. After removal of the aortic clamp, bradycardia and hypertension were noted. We suspected increased intracranial pressure due to hypoxic brain damage after massive blood loss and the patient was treated to lower the intracranial pressure. Physicians should be aware of the significance of the hemodynamic change associated with increased intracranial pressure to prevent further neurologic damage.

Neisseria cinerea is an oropharyngeal normal flora known as a non-pathogenic gram-negative diplococcus. Encephalo-meningitis related to N. cinerea is very rare. A 15-year-old healthy male visited emergency room for altered mentality with fever, headache, and vomiting. Physical examination showed abdominal tenderness and neck stiffness but there was no skin rash. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination revealed opening pressure of 210 mmH2O, red blood cell 200/mm3, white blood cell 8,320/mm3, neutrophil 84%, glucose 34 mg/dL, suggesting acute bacterial meningitis. Empirical antibiotics were administered and N. cinerea was identified in CSF culture. The patient showed complete recovery 10 days after administration of ceftriaxone. We report this case as the first N. cinerea meningitis in Korea.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to determine and compare the effects of adjunctive therapy with different doses of recombinant human granulocyte-colony stimulating factor(rhG-CSF) on reversing sepsis-associated neonatal neutropenia, and their survival rate in a group I/II-type trial. METHODS: RhG-CSF was injected subcutaneously to 10 septic-neutropenic neonates with doses of 10 microgram/kg from Oct. 1995 to Sep. 1996, and was administered to another 12 septic-neutropenic neonates with doses of 5 microgram/kg from Oct. 1996 to Sep. 1997. Neutrophilic responses and the outcomes of both groups were compared. RESULTS: In the rhG-CSF 10 microgram/kg treated group and in the 5 microgram/kg treated group, the absolute neutrophil count(ANC) was 1,065+/-89(mean+/-SEM) and 1,053+/-131, respectively. The only difference between the two groups was the peak ANC at 48 hours. Eight patients from the remaining nine of rhG-CSF 10 microgram/kg treated group(88.9%) and ten in 5 microgram/kg treated group(83.3%) survived the sepsis and were discharged without any problems. CONCLUSIONS: RhG-CSF can increase the neutrophil count in critically ill septic neutropenic neonats. The survival rate of both groups were up to 90%. This finding suggests that both doses of rhG-CSF may be effective in a therapeutically useful time frame to treat septic neonates with neonatal neutropenia attributable to bone marrow supression or neutrophil consumption.

Actinomycosis causes a chronic suppurative, granulomatous disease which is characterized by extensive abscess formation, and sulfur granule formation. Actinomycosis may present different clinical forms: cervicofacial, thoracic, abdominal and cerebral actinomycosis. The diagnosis can only be made after surgery. In general, patients with abdominal actinomycosis have undergone abdominal surgery. We report four cases of primary appendiceal actinomycosis presenting as acute appendicitis without history of abdomen surgery.

Clinicians must be able to recognize post-extraction complications and treat them in a timely manner; complications that may potentially be life-threatening require special attention. Although arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a very rare disorder, it may induce life-threatening hemorrhage during surgical intervention in the pertinent site. The present article examines the diagnosis and treatment modalities of AVM based on the case of a patient who was diagnosed with AVM with continuous bleeding after tooth extraction and who was successfully treated.
