A case of postradiation sarcoma, found in a 52-year-old woman, who underwent a total hystrectomy under the diagnosis of cervical cancer 12 years ago, followed by radiation therapy. The tumor invasion was extensive involving the left innominate bon and upper end of the left femur including the head and neck. Histopathological findings revealed sarcomatous change with atypical osteoid formation and stromal proliferation. The case has been followed for 2 years since February 1974 and survives today.

Injuries in the industries has been steadily increasing in this country in recent years. Injuries in the industries intricate in accoriance with the industrial environment, mechanism of injuries and the other factors of employees. In 6 years 201 patients with industrial injuries underwent treatment in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery of the National Medical Center, and the result of treatment is reported in this paper. 1. 70 cases out of 201 cases were in the age group between 21 to 30 year. 186 cases were male and 15 were female. The incidence is remarkably higher in male. 2. In 80 cases the injuries were caused by machinery with pressor parts. The patients were chiefly manual workers in factories. 3. Of 280 injuries, 148 (62.8%) were upper extremities, 105 (37.5%) were lower extremities and 27 (96%) were trunks. The most common site of injuries was hand. 4 Of 146 injuries with fractures, 94 were treated by manual reduction and cast, and 52 were treated by open reduction. 5. Treatment for open wounds was debridement followed by delayed primary closure and/or skin graft. The primarily closed open wounds by local clinics were observed and treated according to wound condition. 6, 17 cases out of 22 phalangeal bone fractures were treated by manual reduction and splint. 5 cases were treated by K-wire internal fixation, among them 3 cases had to be treated by amputation. 7. Incidence of early camplication was considerably high with 137 sites out of 280 sites and the late complication was 79 sites after treatment of the early complications.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to explore perception of the clinical learning environment, resilience and perfectionism in relation to practice burnout and to identify factors influencing practice burnout in student nurses. METHODS: A descriptive correlational study was conducted. The participants were 313 student nurses from three universities in B and U city. Data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, Scheffés test and multiple regression analysis. RESULTS: Mean score for practice burnout in student nurses was 2.92 out of 5 points. Practice burnout explained 44.7% of the variance in perfectionism (β =.245, p<.001), satisfaction with college life (β =.232, p<.001), resilience (β =−.228, p<.001), clinical learning environment (β =−.193, p<.001), satisfaction with major (β =.180, p=.001), practical relationships with peers (β =.128, p=.005), and satisfaction with clinical practice (β =.124, p=.039). CONCLUSION: Research results suggest that the important variable for student nurses' practice burnout is perfectionism. Therefore education is needed to develop strategies to manage perfectionism and reduce practice burnout.

Lymphangioma circumscriptum is a rare disease and the lesions are indistinguishable, clinically and histologically, from lymphangiectasis. The only difference is that lymphangiectasis is usually bilateral and develops in adult or late life, ie, condary to irradiation, surgical interruption, or some malignancies, but lymphangioma circumscriptum is congenital disease or develops soon after birth.
