PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to analyze the structural model on the Nursing Task Performance of Hospital Nurses. METHODS: Data collection was done by the 200 hospital nurses from May 1st to May 20th, 2013 in Seoul city. The sample variance-covariance matrix was analyzed using AMOS 19.0 and the maximum likelihood minimization function. The goodness of fit was evaluated using the SRMR, RMSEA and its 90% confidence interval, CFI, and TLI. RESULTS: First, hospital nurses' organizational justice and empowerment was not found to have a significant direct effect on nursing task performance. Second, organizational justice and empowerment had a direct effect on job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Third, organizational commitment was found to have a significant direct effect on nursing task performance. Forth, hospital nurses' empowerment was found to have a significant direct effect on nursing task performance. CONCLUSION: Nurses' nursing task performance was influenced by organizational justice, empowerment, and organizational commitment. In order to increase the degree of nursing task performance in hospital nurse, it is necessary to develop the nursing program and its application considering hospital nurses' organizational justice and empowerment and organizational commitment.

In this paper, course and complications of the 200 cases of cataract extractions and postoperative period as well as the visual acuity a t conclusion of period of observation are presented. The observation are made comparing with the types of corneo-scleral suture. The vision of preoperatively complicated cases are not so improved after successful cataract extraction. Vitreous loss during the operation and, vitreous protrusion into anterior chamber do not interfere thc post-operative vision. Massive and longstanding hyphema used to interfere the final vision. The average visual acuity after the operation revealed 0.34. All the above indicated observation are performed on the cases of average age 56.1 years old.

Retroperitoneal fibrosis sometimes causes urological problem involving the ureter, but the mechanism is uncertain. An aortic aneurysm, including an iliac artery aneurysm, is thought to be one of the mechanisms of retroperitoneal fibrosis. However, cases caused by an isolated iliac artery aneurysm are very rare, and symptoms tend to be non-specific; therefore, no definitive treatment has been established. Herein, we report our recent experience of a patient with a left common iliac artery aneurysm involving the ureter, who underwent successful surgical therapy.

Hepatoblastoma (HB) is a rare embryonic malignant tumor of the liver. Most morphological studies on HB have limited to the histological characteristics and only 3 cases of HB have been described in the cytology literature. We present 2 cases of HB occurring in children aged 1 year and 3 years, respectively. The distinctive cytologic features of fine needle aspiration of HB were clusters of tumor cells showing acinar and trabecular pattern, smaller tumor cells with a high nuclear-cytopalsmic ratio and hyperchromatic nuclei having prominent nucleoli, and the presence of extramedullary hematopoiesis and osteoid material. These features were also found in the cell block and the biopsy specimen, and appeared very useful in the differentiation of HB from hepatocellular carcinoma.

We report a case of cutaneous metastasis of thymic carcinoma in Korean. A 44-year-old female, who had been diagnosed as thymic carcinoma and treated with total thymectomy and post-operative radiation therapy, presented grouped erythematous papules on the left chest. CT scans revealed metastatic lesions in the left pleura and abdominal cavity. Histopathologic examination of skin biopsy showed extensive infiltration of malignant cells in dermis and subcutis. The morphology of infiltrating cells was similar to that of tumor cells from primary thymic carcinoma specimen. The results of immunohistochemical study for skin biopsy were consistent with the features of non-neuroendocrine thymic carcinoma. Histopathologic and immunohistopathologic similarity between cutaneous lesion and previous tumor suggested that malignant cells in the skin lesion could originate from progressing thymic carcinoma.

Pigmented fungiform papillae of the tongue(PFPT) is a rare benign pigmentary disorder of the tongue. In dark-skinned individuals, PFPT appears to be relatively common, whereas this entity is seldom reported in fair-skinned people and Asians. Although the relevance to systemic conditions has been suggested in several reported cases, the etiology and pathogenesis of this entity are not yet clearly defined. We report two cases of PFPT in young Korean females. Clinically both patients presented with asymptomatic pigmentary lesions confined to fungiform papillae of the tongue, which had been detected several months ago. Histopathologic findings revealed increased melanophages in the subepidermal area within the fungiform papillae.

We evaluated the availability of toluidine blue stain in body fluids, such as peritoneal and pleural fluid and urine. Nine hundreds specimens, i.e., 400 pleural and 400 peritoneal fluids and 100 urine samples, respectively, from Jan. 1995 to May 1996 were included. We obtained the result of high sensitivity and high specificity in toluidine blue stained body fluid in comparison with Papanicolaou stained result. Additionally, we found the diagnostically important crystals in chylothorax and some urine samples, which can not be seen in routine Papanicolaou stain. We thought the toluidine blue stain in body fluid is one of very useful diagnostic methods.
