PURPOSE: This study was to compare job stress and job satisfaction between ward nurses and outpatient nurses, and to identify the correlation between job stress and job satisfaction. METHODS: The subjects of this study were 200 ward nurses and 85 outpatient nurses in G and I University Hospital in Incheon. The data were collected in March 2010 and analyzed with t-test and Pearson correlation coefficient. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in overall job stress between two groups, but slightly higher stress level for ward nurses. In sub-area of job stress, 'nursing duty' was primary for both groups. And in 'nursing duty' (t=2.05, p=.041), 'conflict with patients' (t=2.73, p=.007), and 'working environment' (t=3.37, p<.001) ward nurses showed significant higher level of stress than outpatient nurses. For job satisfaction, outpatient nurses showed higher level significantly (t=-2.98, p=.003). And both groups of nurses' job satisfaction was negatively correlated with job stress significantly (r=-.31, p<.001). CONCLUSION: It will be possible to reduce job stress and promote job satisfaction level for both groups of nurses by adding staffs, and specifically for ward nurses by improving facilities for relax and appropriate supply, and for outpatient nurses by managing interpersonal stress and reducing side tasks.

Although the incidence of leprosy is decreased considerably, the deformity and disability of it is serioues. In the hand, combined median and ulnar nerve affection is most common, and it leads to many problems including opposition dysfunction and claw hand deformity. And opposition dysfunction is most significant disability in the hand function, so its correction or reconstruction is mandatory We performed 20 cases of opponensplasty from Oct. 91 to Apr. 94 at National Medical Center, and analyzed its results according to new assessment criteria invented by authors, and evaluated the efficacy of the operative treatments. The results were as follows: 1. The patients were 9 males and 11 females, average age was 48 years old, and average duration of paralysis was 28 years. The mean follow-up period was 2.8 years. And most common type of nerve affection was combined low median and high ulnar nerves. 2. We performed 18 cases of Burkhalter opponensplasty using extensor indicis proprius and 2 cases of Riordan opponensplasty using ring finger sublimis at the leprosy hands. 3. According to authors assessment criteria for leprosy hand, the result of operative treatment was excellent in two, good in ten, fair in seven, and poor in two patients. So we obtained more than good results in 50% patients. 4. We could obtain good result with Burkhalter opponensplasty in leprosy hand, especially when combined with proper preoperative physical therapy and adjuvant operation for release of contracture and joint stiffness.

Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a rare and recently recognized disease of unknown etiology, characterized by remission and exacerbation of multiple bone lesions which radiologically and pathologically have the appearance of hematogenous osteomyelitis. The natural history appears to be slow and spontaneous resolution of the osseous lesions without specific treatment. And antimicrobial agents seem to have no beneficial effect. In proper clinical setting, CRMO should be considered, because recognition of this entity would help us to avoid costly and potentially harmful diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. We report a case of a 48-year-old adult who had chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis.

PURPOSE: This study is for the evaluation of low tesla(0.064T) MR imaging diagnostic accuracy in the internal derangement of the knee. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively analysed the MR images of 36 injured knees of 35 patients. The presence of tear was determined by arthroscopy or surgery in all cases. RESULTS: The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, negative predictive value of low tesla MRI for the diagnosis of anterior cruciate ligament injury were 83%, 88%, 86%, 77%, 91%, for the posterior cruciate ligament 75%, 95%, 86%, 92%, 83%, for the medial collateral ligament 83%, 96%, 92%, 91%, 92%, for the lateral collateral ligament 67%, 97%, 94%, 67%, 97%, for the menisci 75%, 93%, 89%, 75%, 93%. CONCLUSION: The low tesla MRI is an accurate method in detection and evaluation of the internal derangement of the knee.
