Statisticsl observation was made on 404 patients who had been referred for consultation to the Department of Dermatology during their admission in Seoul National University Children's Hospital from October 1985 to March 1987. The results were as follows : 1. The consulted pstients were 404 among 126,622 inpatients(0.32%). 2. The most frequent age group was below 1 year(25.0%). 3. Pediatrics was the most importnat department in the number, as well as in the rate of consulted patients to inpatients. 4. The most common 10 dermatoses were contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, drug eruption, fungal infection, viral infection, infantile eczema, benign tumor, miliaria, urticaria, and skin manifestation of systemic diseases in order of frequency. 5. The frequent causes of consultation were as follows ; the dermatologic diseases or conditions 67.6%, the diseases related to the trestment 13.4%, the skin lesions of systemic diseases 10.8%, the dermatologic tests 3.6%, and admitted to other departments with dermatologic diseases 1.2% respectively.

Nevus flammeus is benign but cosmetically devastating congenital vascular malformation whose past treaments have been marred by unacceptable complication or by unacceptable ineffectiveness. Argon laser is a therapeutic device which has been newly applied to this condition with fairly good result. However, all lesions do not show good response and it depends on the clinical and histopathological types. Therefore, it is very important to select patients who will show good response to argon laser therapy. Histological pattern was indicated as the most important prognostic factor. However, it is not always possible to get the histological data. This study was undertaken to evaluate whether it is possible to anticipate histologic patterns of nevus flammeus from color and clinical morphology of the lesions when biopsy is difficult to be taken. Color and clinical morphology of the lesions were recorded, and 4-mm punch biopsies were performed in 74 patients who visited the Laser Clinic in our dermatologic department during past 2 years, The study results were as follows. Eleven pink cases were all patch form morphologically but 8 cases(72, 7%) were constricted type and 8 cases(27 Q%) were intermediate type histopathologically. In 28 red cases, 27 cases(96 4gp) were patch form and only 1 case was smooth elevated form morphologically. And 2p cases(74, l%) were dilated or intermediate type and 7 cases(25 9%) were constricted or deep located type histologically.

The purpose of study was to find out the relationship between health perception and health status of clinical nurses. It also identified factors that related to health perception and health status of clinical nurses. The research design was descriptive correlational study. The subjects were. consisted of 289 clinical nurses at the university hospital in Pusan, The data were collected from Feb. 12th to Feb, 28th, 2001 by self reporting structured questionnaires. The instruments used for this study were health perception questionnaire developed by Ware and Cornell Medical Index modified by Nam Ho-Chang (1965) for measuring health status. The data were analyzed by SPSS/PC+ program using frequency, percentage, mean, mean mark, 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 the health perception was 94,70+/-.93(range 29-145), which the item mean mark score was 3.27+/-.31(range 1-5). The score of subarea of the health perception was the highest score in health concern (4.57+/-.58) and the lowest sore in rejection of sick roie(2.94+/-.32). 2. The mean score of the health status was 102.83+/-.61(range:57-114), which the item mean mark score was 1.80+/-.13(range:1-2). The mean mark score of the physical health status was 62.55+/-.35(l.69+/-.14) and the mental health status was 40.28+/-.51 (1.83+/-.16). 3. There were statistically significant difference in the score of health perception according to the presence of disease(F=4.607, p=.011), job satisfaction (F=12.242, p=000), and job place(F=2.838, P= .038) 4. There were statistically significant difference in the score of health status according to the age(F=3.164, p= .007), presence of leisure time(F=4.308, P=039), presence of diseases (F=3.215, P= .042), job experience (F=9.064, P= .000), job satisfaction (F= 7.182, P= .001), job place (F=5.638, P=.001), job position (F=3.900, P= .021). 5. Health perception of clinical nurse was shown to be positively related to health status(r= .543, p= .000) In conclusion, health perception of clinical nurse working at the university hospital was relatively high, and health status was fine. And the more health perception was high, the more health status was high. Therefore, the health promotion program for clinical nurses, should included health perception.

Recently, various implant cylinders were supplied, especially received gold cylinders, cast cylinders produced from premade gold and plastic cylinders and plastic cylinders. This study measured and compared precise fit produced when using conventional gold and plastic cylinders. The comparative fit of lapped and non-lapped castings made from plastic pattern was examined. The implant/abutment interface fit was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy(SEM) for each of four cylinders. The following results were obtained: 1. The case of plastic cylinder showed 9.67+/-1.50micrometer gap Steri-Oss fixture was connected. 2. The case oflapped casting made from plastic cylinder showed 3.01+/-2.81micrometer gap when Steri-Oss fixture was connected. 3. The case of gold/plastic cylinder showed 9.80+/-1.68micrometer gap when Steri-Oss fixture was connected. 4. The case of gold cylinder showed 5.47+/-2.43micrometer gap when Steri-Oss fixture was connected. 5. In case of each cylinder which was connected with Steri-Oss fixture, the size of gap was showed less in the order of the case of gold/plastic cylinder, the case of plastic cylinder, the case of gold cylinder and the case of lapped casting made from plastic cylinder. As results of this study, the use of premade gold cylinder offers an advantage over plastic patterns in precise fit. When plastic patterns are used, polishing of implant cylinder components should provide precise fit.
