PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify the impact of academic stress on depression suffered by college nursing students and the moderating effects of academic resilience. METHODS: For this survey, 257 students (1st and 2nd year) participated, and it was performed over two weeks in September 2014. In this study, statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 18.0 for Windows and as a t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analysis. RESULTS: The students' academic stress had a significant impact on their depression (beta=.279). The moderating effects of academic resilience did not have a significant impact, which is presumably as a result of there being more complex, nonlinear effects, rather than a simple, linear relationship between academic stress and resilience. CONCLUSION: It may be incorrect to assume that academic resilience is a moderating variable that lessens academic stress. It is implied that academic resilience can have a significant impact when internal and external support conditions are met, and that the effects can be reinforced when family support, a learning environment, and improved adaptability to life at school are also provided.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the cognitive function and degree of dementia patient by doing clock drawing test and to explore the relationship among other dementia screening test. METHOD: The study subjects were 94 dementia in patients department. The data was collected by face to face interview by clinical psychologist from January 2007 to February 2008. The tools were Clock Drawing Test, K-MMSE, K-3MS and CDR Scale. RESULTS: 1) The average score of CDT was 5.13 (2.54), of K-MMSE was 20.53 (4.85), of K-3MS was 61.66 (16.46), and of CDR was 1.2 (.72), those scores showed dementia. 2) There was a statistically the significant difference in CDT (F=2.83, p=.043) and CDR (F=2.00, p=.008) by age. CDT has shown the differences by gender (t=-2.42, p=.018) and education (F=7.66, p=.000). 3) There were significant relationships between CDT and K MMSE (r=-.294. p=.004), K-3MS (r=-.335, p=.001), and CDR (r=.286, p=.008). CONCLUSION: It is believed that using CDT which measures the visuospatial ability of dementia patients and K-MMSE which assesses an ability of language and orientation and K-3MS at the same time helps examining the beginning and the progressive degree of dementia more easily and objectively.

Microsporum(M.) canis is one of the zoophilic dermatophytes that is most likely transmitted by contact of infected animals. Cats are the principal reservoir for M. canis in Korea although with less frequency this fungus is also common in dogs. M. canis infections were mostly composed of tinea(T.) capitis, T. faciei and T. corporis. Clinical manifestations were single or multiple well-demarcated, annular shaped, erythematous scaly patches. But when the lesions were distorted by treatment, we should differenciate with other skin diseases. A 21 years old woman had multiple crusted, eroded or ulcerated lesions on the arms, trunk that look like ecthyma. And single lesion on the left chest showed scanty scaly lesion. M. canis was caltivated from the ecthyma like lesion and a cat of the patient. We report a patient with T. corporis by M. canis infection occurred to ecthyma like lesion after topical treatment for 3 months.

Phialemonium and Myrothecium species are rare agents of human deep mycosis infection and those have been increasingly documented as emerging agents of opportunistic infection in immunocompromised patients. We discribed a 69-year-old Korean male, previously diagnosed as lung cancer, presented with 2 x 2 cm sized normal skin to erythematous nodules on the both lower legs for 10 years. Biopsy specimen showed brownish septated hyphae in the dermis and subcutaneous tissue from the left lower leg and colorless spores from the right leg (H& E). Each identifications were confirmed by polymerase chain reaction of ITS2 using universal fungal primers as Phialemonium dimorphosporum on the left lower leg and Myrothecium species on the right lower leg. The patient was treated with surgical excision and fluconazole.

Folliculosebaceous cystic hamartoma is a rare cutaneous hamartoma comprising follicular, sebaceous, and mesenchymal elements. This tumor usually presents during adulthood as an exophytic papule or nodule on the scalp or central area of the face. Histopathologic features are central cystic structures lined with infundibular epithelium, numerous sebaceous gland lobules radiating from cystic structures, and surrounding stroma composed of fibrillary bundles of collagen, small vessels, neural tissue and occasionally mucin deposits. We herein report a case of folliculosebaceous cystic hamartoma in a 21-year-old man who presented with a skin-colored, dome-shaped papule on the scalp.
