The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between self-concept and self-care activities of the cerebral palsied adolescents and to gain the baseline data for development of effective rehabilitation nursing intervention program of the cerebral palsied adolescents. The design of this study was a descriptive correlational study. The subjects of the study were 160 cerebral palsied adolescents attending at special schools located in Seoul and Kyonggi and rehabilitation centers located in Seoul. Kyonggi and Kyongnam province. The data was collected from May 20 to July 20, 2000, The instrument used for this study were the self-concept scale(50items 4point scale) and self-care activities scale(29items 4point scale). Self-Concept Scale had developed by Fitt(1965), which was standardized by Chung(1968) and modified by Kim(1984). Self-Care Activities Scale developed by the researcher throughout the consulting of expert and pilot study on the basis of ADL check list developed by Kang(1984) and LDSQ-3(Lambeth Disability Screening Questionnair-3) developed by Na et al. (1995). The data was analyzed by the SPSS/PC + program using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA & Scheffe test and Pearson's correlation coefficient. The results of this study were as follows: 1. The mean score of self-concept was 138.55+/-17,20(range: 50-100), which the item mean score was 2,77+/-0.34((range: 1-4). The score of subarea of the self-concept was the highest score in family self (3.01+/-0.54) and the lowest score in physical self (2.52+/-0.42). 2. The mean score of self-care activities was 95.25+/-21.69(range: 29-116), which the item mean score was 3.28+/-0.75(range:1-4). The score of subarea of the self-care activities was the highest score in feeding(3.75+/-0.59) and the lowest score in walking(2.64+/-1.21). 3, There were statistically significant difference in the score of self-concept according to the age (F=3.24, P= .04), the grads(F=4.36, p= ,01), and types of cerebral palsy (F=2.42, P=,03). 4. There were statistically significant difference in the score of self-care activities according to the age(F=8,29, P= .00), the grads (F=16.05, P= ,00), types of living place (F=6.46, P= .00), types of cerebral palsy(F=48.92, P= .00), whether or not receiving a rehabilitation therapy (t=-3.64, P= .00), whether or not receiving a vocational training (t=2.14. p= .03), and whether or not using a device (t=-7.42, P= .00). 5. There was not significant correlation between self-concept and self-care activities(r= .08 1. P= .311).

A case of herpes simplex autoinoculated on the 1st interdigital web of right hand was reported, Herpes labialis characterized by confluent rice sized vesicular eruptions had developed on the midportion of upper lip. After 3 days, typical herpetic lesion occurred on the 1st interdigital web of right hand. We reviewed briefly the recent literatures.

A 7 day old female baby suffered from perinatal asphyxia and trauma at birth. Subsequently, she had a violeceous subcutaneous plaque on back. The clinical setting, the skin manifestation and the histologic findings of the lesion were diagnostic of subcutaneous fat necrosis of the newborn. Histologic findings revealed fat necrosis with infiltration of inflammatory cells, foreign body giant cells and several fat cells contain needle shaped cleft in radial arrangement. Four weeks latter, the skin lesion was healed spontaneously.

This study examined within- and between-person variation in nutrient intakes in order to estimate the degree of precision in dietary assessment among 37 males and 46 females whose mean age was 70.4 years old. To collect dietary data, each subject was interviewed 5 or 6 times using a 24-hour recall method during a 3 month period. Within-person variation ranged from 23.5% to 101.2%. Lower values of within-person variation were observed in energy, carbohydrated, protein and phosphorous while higher value was observed in vitamin A. Between person variations of nutrient intakes ranged 12.6-23.5% in most nutrients. With 1 day dietary data, observed nutrient intakes were estimated to within 6-25% of the group's usual9true) intakes and 52-198% of the individuals' usual intakes. The values of these maximum percentage deviations became smaller when the number of dietary recalls increased. The results of this study suggest that the Korean elderly subjects appear to have a slightly less diverse diet compared to young Korean women. Within persons, intakes of nutrients largely from animal sources were more variable for the Korean elderly than for their counterparts in Western countries. This study also implies that commonly used 1 day dietary study may be appropriate for assessing group means of nutrient intakes, but clearly not appropriate for assessing individual's nutrient intakes.
