PURPOSE: This study was done to identify that Rooming-in of new mothers have an influence on continuous breast feeding. METHOD: This is a comparative survey study which was done by self reported questionnaire and telephone contacts. The subjects are collected from two groups which consist of 29 in Rooming-in group and 24 in Non-Rooming-in group respectively. The data were collected method of this study was lists of given to mothers while they were in the hospital and interviews by telephone were done at their home 3 months and 6 months after delivery. RESULT: The results of this study were as follows: 1. The rates of breast feeding were 79.3% in the Rooming-in group and 41.7% in the non-Rooming-in group after 3 months. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups(chi2=10.217, p=.009). 2. The rates of breast feeding were 69.0% in the Rooming-in group and 29.2% in the Non-Rooming-in group at 6 months. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups(chi-square=10.310, p=.012). CONCLUSION: Rooming-in system provoke an increase of the breast feeding rate in new mothers and encourage them to keep breast feeding. In addition, it would be desirable that hospitals apply Rooming-in system actively and encourage new mothers to breast feed for 24 hours a day. It could be make breast feeding successful.

In Korea, nation-wide statistical data on patients who have received therapy for primary liver cancer or its natural history is non-existent. Moreover, various local treatment methods for hepatoma such as percutaneous alcohol injection therapy, microwave coagulation therapy, and radiofrequency ablation therapy are being performed without a period of verification or consensus. This has led to a lack of uniformity not only in establishing the initial mode of therapy for hepatomas, but also among various institutions, and also a tendency for conflict rather than synergy among the various treatment modalities. Therefore, there exists a dire need for a national cancer registry for hepatoma. Fortunately, as a first step, the Korean Liver Cancer Study Group was established in June of 1999 to arrive at a consensus and hence overcome these problems, and to establish an environment for co-operation between institutions. In June of 2001 "The general rules for the study of primary liver cancer" was published which successfully lay down the groundwork for the promulgation of a national registry. With the above mentioned Korean Liver Cancer Study Group acting a central role, this author attempts to describe present status of database of the Cancer Registry for Hepatoma which has been completed after a year and a half, and also to explain its characteristics and implementation.

PURPOSE: This study was conducted to develop a mobile web-based pregnancy health care educational program for mothers who were at an advanced maternal age (AMA) and to verify the effects of the program on pregnancy health care. METHODS: This program was developed using a web-based teaching-learning system design model and composed of 10 subject areas. This research was a quasi-experimental study using a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest time serial design and data were collected from April 2 to May 3, 2014. To verify the effects of the program, it was used for 2 weeks with 30 AMA mothers (experimental group). For the control group, a classroom education booklet for pregnant women used with 31 AMA mothers. RESULTS: The experimental group having participated in program had statistically significantly higher scores for knowledge (t=3.76, p <.001), self-efficacy (t=8.54, p <.001), and practice behavior (t=4.88, p <.001) of pregnancy health care, compared to the control group. CONCLUSION: The results of the program indicate that a Mobile web-based pregnancy health care educational program is effective in meeting the needs of AMA mothers and can be used as the prenatal educational program for AMA mothers and is appropriate as an educational media for theses mothers.

The effects of KCI continus tablet(K-Contin(R)) on the serum level of K and uric acid during hydrochlorothizide therapy(25mg/day) were evaluated in 30 patients with essential hypertensien. The results are as follows : 1) During hydrochlorothiazide therapy(25mg/day), 23% of all patients showed hypopotassemia(<3.5mEq/1) while no patient developed hypopotassemia after potassium supplement therapy(8 mEq/day). 2) During the period of K supplement, the level of serum uric acid showed less elevation. 3) The side reaction of KCI continus tablet were mild indigestion which developed in two patients and disappeared soon without any particular treatment. In conclusion, the KCI continus tablet is useful in the prevention of hypopotassemia during chronic diuretic therapy.
