Anatomically olecranon fracture is an intra-articular fracure, so reduction must be exact. Using the principle of Zuggurtungsosteosynthese by Weber, Pauwels' clinical study of olecranon fracture showed the superiority of tension band. 15 patients with olecranon fracture of the ulna who were treated with tension band and could be followed at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery of Han Il Hospital from January, 1974 to December, 1980 have been reviewed. The result obtained is as follows. We obtained the more rigid fixation with modifying the standard tension band locating the end of K-wire in the cortex of opposite side cortex of ulna. So, the result of treatment was satisfactory.

OBJECTIVES: This study examined the relationship between the personality traits and job performance of Centers for Children's Foodservice Management (CCFSM) staff on emotional exhaustion and job satisfaction. In addition, the characteristics of the center organization were examined to provide practical guidelines for the operation of the center. The aim was to determine management implications with an important meaning in human resource management to enhance the efficiency of the operation of Centers for Children's Foodservice Management (CCFSM). METHODS: Out of 207 centers, there were 1,057 employees at 173 centers who agreed to participate in the study, the questionnaire was mailed on February 17, 2017 and collected by mail on March 31, 2017. Finally, 81 centers (46.82%) participated in the survey and 493 questionnaires were used. RESULTS: Neuroticism among the five personality factors had a positive (+) influence on ‘cynicism’ and ‘exhaustion’ among the three subordinate factors of emotional exhaustion, negative (−) effects on the ‘job’ among the six subscales of job satisfaction. In addition, openness showed a negative (−) effect on ‘loss of professional confidence’ of emotional exhaustion and positive (+) relationship with the ‘job’ of job satisfaction. Agreeableness appeared to have a negative (−) effect on all factors of emotional exhaustion and a positive (+) influence on all factors of job satisfaction. As a result of analyzing the effects of job performance on emotional exhaustion and job satisfaction, the planning and operations management team showed a positive (+) influence on all factors of emotional exhaustion and negative (−) influence on all factors of job satisfaction. On the other hand, the nutrition management team showed a negative (−) influence on all emotional exhaustion factors and a positive (+) influence on the factors of job satisfaction. The hygiene management team showed a positive (+) relationship with ‘Emotional exhaustion’ among the subordinate factors of emotional exhaustion and a negative (−) influence on the ‘Educational opportunity’ of job satisfaction. CONCLUSIONS: The personality type and job performance of Centers for Children's foodservice management (ccfsm) staff significantly affected the emotional exhaustion and job satisfaction.

Sex cord-stromal tumors of the ovary are the third most common types of neoplasms that develop in the ovary and account for about 5-8% of all ovarian malignancies. Juvenile granulosa cell tumor (JGCT) is one of the sex cord-stromal tumors of the ovary has distinct differences from adult granulosa cell tumor (AJCT) with regard to clinical and pathological features as well as biological behavior most frequently occuring in the first two decades of life. Usually Call-exner bodies are rare, and luteinization is frequent in JGCT. The tumor may be solid, cystic, or both. In premenarcheal girls, juvenile granulosa cell tumor usually (82%) elicits the signs of sexual precocity. The tumor should removed as soon as the diagnosis is established. Surgery is the best treatment choice for low stage juvenile granulosa cell tumor in children, but for those with high stage juvenile granulosa cell tumor or recurrent tumor, the best treatment and sensitivity of tumor to radiation therapy and chemotherapy have not yet been determined clearly. About 90% are diagnosed in early stage so, prognosis of juvenile granulosa cell tumor in children is good in most cases, but tumor with more advanced stage has worse clinical outcome correlated with its stage, presence of ruptures, grade of nuclear atypia, degree of mitotic activity. And the clinical stage at the time of diagnosis is considered most important prognostic factor. We experienced a case of ruptured juvenile granulosa cell tumor so, we present a case with brief review of literature.

Purpose: Two-millimeter needlescopic instruments induce minimal damage to the abdominal wall and have excellent cosmetic benefits. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of a laparoscopic intracorporeal suture using 2-mm instruments for pediatric inguinal hernia. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 131 patients who underwent laparoscopic repair between March 2011 and February 2017. Three trocars were used: a 5-mm umbilical trocar for a needle holder and two 2-mm trocars for a camera and a grasper. The internal ring was closed with an intracorporeal purse-string suture. A telephone interview was conducted to confirm recurrence. Results: In the 131 patients, 169 procedures were successfully performed. The ages ranged from 2 months to 14 years (mean, 52.5 months), and the mean body weight was 18.0 kg (range, 6.7~49 kg). The mean operating time was 42 minutes for the unilateral cases and 46 minutes for the bilateral inguinal hernia repairs. All the cases were completed laparoscopically without intraoperative complications. Herniotomy was not performed in all the patients except nine. A contralateral patent processus vaginalis was present in 27.3% (35/128) of the patients. During the mean follow-up period of 54.6 months, 3 recurrences (2.3%) were observed. Two recurrences were treated using laparoscopy and one using open herniorrhaphy. Hydrocele occurred in one male patient. No wound complications or umbilical hernias developed. No testicular atrophy was observed. Conclusion This study showed that laparoscopic intracorporeal internal ring suture using 2-mm instruments for pediatric inguinal hernia was technically feasible and safe, with excellent cosmetic results.

Acute colonic pseudo-obstruction (Ogilvie's syndrome) is a very rare complication of herpes zoster. A 62-year-old female visited our hospital due to abdominal pain. Skin lesions of herpes zoster had developed after the patient experienced symptoms of colonic obstruction. The symptoms of colonic obstruction resulted in more suffering for the patient than did those of herpes zoster. In cases reported previously in Korea, these symptoms were improved by endoscopic colonic decompression. However, the symptoms of this patient were improved by conservative treatment only, which included fasting and intravenous fluid replacement. Furthermore, this case differs from previous cases in terms of the difficulty of diagnosis due to the delayed appearance of the skin lesions. We present herein the first case in Korea of Ogilvie's syndrome as a complication of herpes zoster, which was improved by conservative treatment. Clinicians should be aware of the various unusual complications of herpes zoster.

PURPOSE: This study was conducted to identify job experiences of male hospital nurses. METHODS: Data were collected from 20 male nurses working at general hospitals, through semi-structured in-depth interviews. The interviews were recorded and subsequently transcribed verbatim. Using content analysis, data were coded and categorized. RESULTS: The analyzed domains were motivations for choosing nursing, occupational experiences (3 subdomains), and attitudes toward the future. A total of 85 significant statements were selected from the data and classified into 32 categories. The nurses' motivations for choosing nursing were advantages of employment, their aptitude, scarcity value of men, professionalism and job security, good promotion, stable income, and family influence. In occupational experiences, they were assigned to special fields and dissatisfied with vertical relationship, promotion system, their salary, and gaps in military service time; they had difficulties in adapting to female-dominated groups and encountered gender role stereotype and preconception; they were satisfied with their distinguished performance, but had damaged self-esteem, and were stressed and disappointed in their work. In their attitudes toward the future, they considered their career changes, but tried to make professional and personal advancement. CONCLUSION: These findings have implications for recruiting and retaining male nurses in clinical settings.

The effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy have been documented in 10 patients with radiation-induced cystitis refractory to conventional management. Seven patients were treated for 40-70 consecutive days, 90 minutes each day with 100 per cent oxygen at 2.4 atmospheres absolute pressure in a multiplace unit. Seven patients achieved the relief of gross hematuria and improvement of bladder irritative symptoms without side effect for an average 16.7 months (range 6 to 27 months). Hyperbaric oxygen therapy was stopped in three patients because of febrile sense in trunk, pneumonia and cancer recurrence. This experience suggests that hyperbaric oxygen therapy might be considered the primary treatment of patients with symptomatic radiation-induced cystitis.
