The result of studying papers about management of lower back pain published in domestic and foreign nursing and medical magazines in these 10 years is as follows; 1. General characteristic of lower back pain; 1) In sex distribution, there were more men than women in 5 papers and more women than men in 4 papers among 9 papers surveryed. 2) In age distribution, thirties to forties of patients had more lower back pain as surveyed by general hospitals and fifties to sixties of patients had more lower back pain as surveyed by oriental medical hospitals. 3) In cause factor, there were 50 to 65% of sprain, 32 to 44% of herniated intervertebral disc and 13 to 29% of degenerative changes. 4) In symtom distribution, there were 26 to 57% of lower back pain, 42 to 65% of lower back pain with radiating pain and 34 to 99% of paravertevral muscle spasm. 5) In period of pain management distribution, 18 to 40% of patients experienced pain for Jess than 6 months and 59 to 82% of them experienced pain for more than 6 months in 3 papers among 4 papers. 6) In surveying the treatment, 66 to 88% of patients had conservative treatment and there were treatments of general hospital, oriental medicine, self remedy and traditional practice in conservative treatment. 7) In job distribution, 12 to 50% of them were housekeepers, 23 to 31% office workers, 4.6 to 36% blue color workers and 11 to 15% students. 2. As psychological character lower back pain paients had anxiety, depression, anger-hostility, phobic anxiety, neurasthenia, hypochondriasis, and interpersonal sensitivity. 3. To distinguish the cause of lower back pain, plain lumbar roentgenogram, straight leg rasing test, eletromyelogic findings, somatosensory evoked potentials CT and MRI were performed. 4. To relieve lower back pain, epidural adhesiolysis, epidulal injection of local anesthetic in mixture with steroid, lumbar spinal root block, low level laser therapy, acupuncture like transcutaneous nerve stimulation(ALTENS), topical capsaicin and lumbar orthotics were used in medical field, and relaxation technique was used in nursing field. 5. Mckenzie's extension exercise and William's flexsion exercise for lower back pain were used in medical field and Yoga exercise was applied in nursing field. 6. The more school education and self efficacy were high, the better they had active coping lower back pain positively and the less self efficacy was the more they had serious pain. As a result of studying the paper there have been very little research for lower back pain in nursing fields of Korea and foreign countries. Because 60 to 80% of population expeience lower back pain at least more than once, it is necessary to develop the study and clinical practice for management of lower back pain.

The purpose of this study is to suggest the menu patters of people in Kangbukgu for the basic data of the nutrition education program in its health center. The dietary intake was investigated by the 24-hour recall method for 488 subjects. To analyze patterns, dishes were classified into major staple food, kimchi, soup and side dishes and also classified into 24 categories by cooking method. Patterns by the kind of dishes for the subjects were cooked rice + soup + kimchi cooked rice + kimchi in the order of frequency of use. Patterns for breakfast were, cooked rice + soup + kimchi > coated rice + soup + two dishes of kimchi. For lunch, patterns were, noodle + kimchi > footed rice + kimchi = cooked rice + soup + kimchi. For dinner, patterns were, cooked rice + soup + kimchi = cooked rice + kimchi > noodle + kimchi. Results of analyzing by the number of dishes, were cooked rice + soup + kimchi + one side dish bread in that order. It was significantly different by meal(p<0.01). The results of analyzing patterns, with those considered basic food, cooked rice, soup and stew, were cooked rice + soup > cooked rice > cooked rice + stew. It was significantly different by meal(p<0.01). With these results, the menu patterns of people in Kangbukgu were different by meal. The main dish was mostly cooked rice and the menu has the traditional menu patters, composed of cooked rice, soup and kimchi.

A pregnancy is considered postterm if it is beyond 294 days (42 complete weeks). Several investigators have demonstrated that postterm pregnancy may be accompanied by a rise in perinatal morbidity and/or mortality. Abnormalities such as meconium staining, cringenital anomalies, intrauterine growth retardation, postmaturity syndrome, fetal asphyxia have been reported in some cases of reduced amniotic fluid volume (oligohyramnios) which is commonly observed in postterm pregnancies. Amniotic fluid volume has been shown to decrease significantly as gestational age advances beyond term. Oligohydramnios has particular relevance to postterm pregnancies. Poor perinatal outcomes of oligohydramnios on postterm pregnancy have been reported by several authors. To date, however, the relationship between oligohydramnios in pastterm pregnancy and fetal outcome is debatable. The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the relationship between oligohydr- amnios and perinatal outcome in 64 cases of postterm pregnancies. Amniotic fluid index(AFI) values were measured semiweekly in 64 good dated, uncomplicated singleton pregnancies. AFI values were categorized into 2 groups. The group 1; patients whose final AFI value was above 5.0 cm; Group 2, patients whose AFI value fell below 5.0 cm. Adverse fetal outcome was defined by the presence of meconium staining, fetal heart rate decelerations, cesarean delivery for fetal distress, low Apgar score at 1 and 5 minutes, neonatal intensive care unit admission, and perinatal mortality. The fetal outcome was compared group 1 with group 2 and results obtained were as follows: 1. The incidence of oligohydramnios in postterm pregnancy was 54.7 %. The average diminution of amniotic fluid index was from 8.2 1.8 cm to 5.6+2.2 cm/week. 2. The incidence of meconium-staining in amniotic fluid was 40.6 % (Group 1: 20.7 %, Group 2: 57.1 %) and showed statistically significant difference between the two groups(p= 0.003). 3. The incidence of Apgar score less than 7 was 23.4% in 1 minute (Group 1: 13.8 %, Group 2: 31.4 %) and 4.7 % in 5 minutes(Group 1: 3.4%, Group 2: 5.7 %), respectively and showed no statistically significant difference between the two groups (p=0.140, p=1.000). 4. I'he incidence of cesarean delivery due to fetal distress was 12.5 % (Group 1: 6.9%, Group 2: 17.1 %) and showed no statistically significant difference between the two groups (p=0.275). 5. The incidence of admission to NICU was 12.5 % (Group 1: 6.9%, Group 2: 17.1 %) and showed no statistically significant difference between the two groups (p=0.275). Adverse fetal outcome was not uniformly observed in postterm pregnancies with oligohydramnios. Amniotic fluid index in oligohydramnios group as a single independent guide was not enough to predict fetal outcomes in postterm pregnancy without specific pathologic condition of fetus.

Pathogenetic mechanisms of progressive glomerulosclerosis are not clear. We studied the long-term(10 weeks) effects of puromycin aminonucleoside(PAN) in Sprague-Dawley rats with or without uninephrectomy(UN). Compared to rats with PAN injections only, rats with uninephrectomy and PAN injections showed significantly higher serum levels of urea nitrogen(153 +/- 155 mg/dl vs. 16 +/- 4 mg/dl, p<0.01), ceatinine(2.96 +/- 1.21 mg/dl vs. 0.92 +/- 0.36 mg/dl, p<0.01), cholesterol(466 +/- 125 mg/dl vs. 94 +/- 27 mg/dl, p<0.01), and triglyceride(337 +/- 237 mg/dl vs. 111 +/- 36 mg/dl, p<0.05) as well as increased amounts of proteinuria(428 +/- 90 mg/day vs. 136 +/- 130 mg/day, p<0.01). Lesions of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis(FSGS) were more frequently observed in rats with UN and PAN injections than rats with PAN infections only(39.5 +/- 17.2% vs. 4.3 +/- 4.7%, p<0.01). Ultrastructural examination of the glomeruli from rats with UN and PAN injections revealed severe epithelial cell changes including foot process effacement, vaculoar change or pseudocyst formation and focal detachment of epithelial cells from the underlying basement membrane. The results suggest that chronic nephrosis induced by PAN showed functional and morphologic features similar to those of human FSGS. Cytotoxic effect of PAN on the glomerular epithelial cells may be an initiating factor for the development of FSGS. which may be aggravated by some hemodynamic changes induced by uninephrectomy.
