OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to investigate factors affecting the discordance between body image and body mass index amongst Korean adults aged 19–39 years. METHODS: Data (N = 59,361) from the 2014 Korean Community Health Survey was analyzed using descriptive analysis, chi-square test, and logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: To examine the factors affecting body image discordance as observed in 43.1% of participants, the group was subdivided into underestimation and overestimation. There were 36.0% of participants that were body image discordant underestimators and 7.1% were overestimators. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the underestimators tended to be men, graduated from high school, married, current/ex-smokers, ex-drinkers, had between 5 to 9 hours sleep (inclusive), had fair to good self-rated health, and demonstrated healthy weight control behavior, relative to the reference group. In comparison, overestimators tended to be in the 19–29 year group and had signs of depression. The OR of individuals who were men, married, and had healthy weight control behavior was significantly lower in the overestimators group. CONCLUSION: These findings show that tailored interventions to promote accurate body awareness should be based on the type of body image discordance. In addition, it is necessary to develop and implement a program of body image improvement that considers the factors affecting body weight discordance.

Various cancer types have been associated with cancer-related cerebral infarction. In this study, we
describe the first case of cancer-related cerebral infarction in which the underlying disease was primary
bone marrow lymphoma (PBML). A 79-year-old man presented with abruptly developed bilateral lower
extremity weakness and confusion. Diffusion-weighted imaging on admission showed multiple cortical
and subcortical embolic infarction lesions in multiple vascular territories. Diagnostic evaluations to
determine the embolic source revealed no abnormalities. Laboratory testing demonstrated elevated
D-dimer (2.59 μg/mL) but no other prothrombotic abnormalities. In suspicion of cancer-related stroke,
we performed chest CT, abdomen CT, and FDG-PET to detect the hidden malignancy. Findings
revealed no evidence of cancer; however, they did reveal signs of anemia (hemoglobin 9.0 g/dL).
Bone marrow aspiration biopsy showed large atypical B cell involvement suggestive of high-grade B
cell lymphoma. The patient was diagnosed with primary bone marrow diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
initially presenting with ischemic stroke. Our case suggests that primary bone marrow cancer may be a
candidate for the differential diagnosis of hidden malignancy in patients with suspected cancer-related
stroke. Bone marrow biopsy may be essential for establishing an appropriate differential diagnosis in
patients with abnormal hematologic findings.

Treatment methods of mandibular condylar fracture were conservative and surgical method. Surgical method of mandibular high condylar fracture was very difficult because approach and internal fixation of small size fracture fragment were difficult. So there is a tendency to select conservative method over surgical method for guiding a stable occlusion and avoiding TMJ disorder and growth disturbance, minimizing pain and deviation during function. But, in case of mandibular high condylar fracture patient who has no biting teeth on posterior teeth area, guiding a stable occlusion and conservative functional treatment were very difficult. In this case, patient was 62years old male. He had fracture of mandibular symphysis, right mandibular body, left mandibular high condyle. We treated the patient for mandibular symphysis and right mandibular body fracture area with surgical method. But left mandibular high condylar fracture area was difficult to treat with surgical method. So we selected a conservative functional method on left mandibular high condylar fracture area. We intended recovery of vertical dimension and stable occlusion with implantation of immediate provisional implant on maxillar and mandibular posterior teeth area, and temporary crown. And then patient did mandibular functional movement and his mandibular function was recoverd.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine characteristics of nursing science and identify expected outcomes from baccalaureate graduates, and to develop accreditation standards and criteria reflecting the characteristics of the nursing profession. METHODS: A methodological research design was utilized in this study. Related literature reviews and the nursing education program goals and objectives of the 99 nursing schools in Korea were analyzed. A cross-sectional survey research design was utilized to test the validity of the developed characteristics of the nursing profession and their accreditation criteria and standards. The face validity was from the advisory committee and public committee hearing. RESULTS: The characteristics of nursing science were defined with five concepts including humanity, scientific knowledge, professionalism, therapeutic relationship, and facilitating well-being. The expected outcomes from graduates were identified as providing holistic nursing, critical thinking, establishing professionalism and leadership, construction of a therapeutic relationship, and skilled nursing practice. Finally6 standards and 14 criteria reflecting the unique characteristics of the nursing profession were developed for accreditation. These proposed accreditation standards and criteria are a challenge to promote the quality of nursing science.

PURPOSE: To report a patient with ocular syphilis, who showed variable ocular manifestations, including optic neuritis and chorioretinitis in both eyes over a short time period. CASE SUMMARY: A 44-year-male visited our clinic for central scotoma in the left eye. The visual acuity was 20/25 in the right eye and 20/40 in the left eye. The fundus of the left eye showed a slightly hyperemic optic disc and multiple yellowish deposits. One week later, visual acuity and fundus lesion improved to 20/20 without a definitive treatment. However, 1 month later, he reported a new deterioration of vision in his right eye to 20/40. The right eye had a relative afferent pupillary defect and the fundus examination showed a blurred optic disc margin. Serological work-up was recommended but the patient refused. He returned 3 weeks later with an improvement in the right eye vision (20/25) and a worsening in the left eye (20/200). The examination revealed an improvement of the previously blurred disc margin in the right eye and newly developed chorioretinitis with vasculitis in the left eye. A serological test was performed. The venereal diseases research laboratory titer was 1:32. The fluorescent treponemal antigen absorbance test as positive for IgG and IgM. He was diagnosed with ocular syphilis and referred to the infectious disease department. He was treated with antibiotics. Six months later, the visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes and the previous fundus lesions had disappeared. CONCLUSIONS: Ocular syphilis should be considered in patients with atypical and variable clinical course.

Bronchogenic cyst is a congenital anomaly of the embryolgic foregut. A bronchogenic cyst is thought to arise from developing lung bud structure in the 7th week of gestation. Subcutaneous bronchogenic cyst is developed from isolated lung parenchyme during cell migration. Sometimes the fistula is formed between cyst and epidermis. Histologically, fistula tract is lined with sebaceous gland, which is the evidence of embryologic anomaly of cyst. The most common extrapulmonary location of bronchogenic cyst is mediastinum. Subcutaneous location is uncommon. Subcutaneous bronchogenic cyst is commonly located in suprasternal notch followed by the presternal area, neck and scapula. Subcutaneous bronchogenic cyst is predominantly found in male and the ratio is four to one. Clinically the cutaneous presentation vary from nodular swelling, sinus tract ostium to papillomatous lesion. The differential diagnosis of bronchogenic cyst include branchial cleft cyst, thyroglossal duct cyst, cutaneous ciliated cyst and mature cystic teratoma. The diagnosis of subcutanoeus cyst is entirely dependent on the histologic feature. Bronchogenic cyst is lined with ciliated pseudostratified columar epithelium of respiratory origin. Underlying wall is surrounded by the smooth muscle, cartilage and seromucinous gland. This report is on a subcutaneous bronchogenic cyst in a 5-years-old male without fistula tract. The cyst is 5 x 4 x 3 cm in size and histolgically shows the typical feature of bronchogenic cyst.
