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 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.

The present study was performed to evaluate the comedogenicity of several cosmetic ingredients, vegetable oils, steroid and sulfur. The test materials were applied to one ear canal of rabbits for 6 weekdays for 2 weeks. The results were as follows: l. Among the 14 cosmetic ingredients, no comedogenicity was shown in propylene glycol and petrolatum, mild comedogencity in squalene, acetylated lanolin, polyethylene glycol, cetyl aIcohol and Tween 80. Propylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulfate and oleic acid showed moderate comedogenicity. Severe comedogenicity was observed in myristyl myristate, isopropyl myristate, butyl stearate and myristyl lactate. 2. Moderate to severe comedogenicity was shown in olive oil, sesame oil and corn oil and moderate comedogenicity in sulfur (8%) and betamethasone dipropionate (0.06%) R. Histopathologic grading were paralleled the findings of the naked eye.
