This study was conducted to explore the level of sexual satisfaction in married women. This is a descriptive study. The data was collected from July 19 to Aug 10, 1997 utilizing a questionnaire developed by researchers. Sexual satisfaction(alpha=.926) was measured by the Sexual satisfaction scale(Kim at el, 1997) which is consisted of 17-items. And data was analysed using SPSS/PC+ 7.5. The following is a summary of the study. 1. The study surveyed a total of 400 married women from Seoul, Kyungki do, and Pusan. The mean age of the subjects was 38.61 years with the range from 22 to 69 years. A large proportion of the subjects(69.3%) had received a high school education or further education. In terms of the marital satisfaction, 68.6% of subjects were moderately or highly satisfied; 6.8% were dissatisfied. 2. The mean score and standard deviation of the sexual satisfaction was 42.74+/-10.42 with the range from 17 to 68 score. 3. The variables influencing on sexual satisfaction were age, education level, income, job, stress, and perceived marital satisfaction.

Apert syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by malformation of the skull, (usually oxyce-phaly or acrocephaly), in association with sys temic syndactyly It is due to congenital disturbance in the growth of bone and soft tissue affecting principally the head, the hands and the feet. The original description was presented by Troquart in 1886. Since then, more than 200cases have been reported in the world up to 1970. Recently we have seena patient with typical Apert Syndrome and report it here with a brief eviewr of the relevant literature.

Seventy cases of empyema treated on the pediatric Service of Kwangju Christian Hospital during 9 years 6 months from Jan. 1970 to Jun. 1979 were analyzed and summerized as follows : 1. Males outnumbered females 38 to 32. No seasonal difference in prevalence was notes. 2. About 60% of empyema(41 cases) were on the right side and 36% on the left side. In 3 cases both sides were affected. The most common concurrent disease was pneumonia, which was suspected as th etiology of empyema. 3. Common chief complaints were dyspnea(53%), fever(47%) and cough(43%). 4. Upon culture of pus, 21 cases among 63 cases(33%) showed no bacterial growth, indicating that had under gone antibacterical treatment before admission. 5. The most common causative organism was Staphylococcus aureus(41.2%) followed vy Pseudomonas(7.9%) Streptococcus(4.8%) E.Coli(4.8%) and Pneumococcus(4.8%). 6. Upon sensitivity test, no resistance was observed to Methicillin and Amikacin, but most of the causative agents were sensitive to Gentamicin, Cephalothin and Novobiocin, while they were least sensitive to Penicillin(17%) and colimycin(9%). 7. Average hospital days were 18, and two cases(2.9%) expired, both one year of age. Average duration of closed drainage was two weeks.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to study complementary and alternative medicines (CAM) used among cancer patients in Korea. METHOD: This study was a descriptive survey. Study participants were 1,150 cancer patients selected from 28 representative hospitals in Korea. Data were collected between December 1, 2004 and March 30, 2005. RESULTS: Their diagnosis were as follows : 20.0% for breast cancer, 15.6% for stomach cancer, 14.4% for liver cancer, 10.8% for lung cancer, 10.0% for colon cancer, and 10.0% for uterine cancer. 75.0% of cancer patients had used CAM. The most popular categories of CAM use were diet with 153.2%, non-prescription of oriental medical doctor 47.9% and mind-body control 20.3%. CAM use gender, age, cancer type, cancer treatment method, and current treatment type was significantly different in. CONCLUSION: CAM use among cancer patients in Korea was very popular (75.0%) and so systemic guidelines of CAM use are needed.

PURPOSE: To report two cases of conjunctival mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas treated with cryotherapy. CASE SUMMARY: Two patients with MALT lymphoma of the conjunctiva were treated by carbon dioxide cryotherapy under topical anesthesia using 0.5% proparacaine hydrochloride (Alcaine(R), Alcon). Cryotherapy was repeated in recurrent lesions up to three times. One patient was free of the tumor for 18 months of follow-up after the third cryotherapy was performed. The second patient had complete disease arrest for 9 months after the third cryotherapy. Neither patient experienced complications during the follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS: Cryotherapy is a comparatively easy treatment tool with fewer complications for patients, making it preferable from a patient's perspective as well. Cryotherapy may be a useful treatment modality in patients with MALT lymphomas localized to the conjunctiva.

PURPOSE: This study was done to examine the effects of abdominal breathing on VAS-Anxiety (VAS-A), blood pressure, peripheral skin temperature and saturation oxygen in pregnant women in preterm labor. METHODS: The study design was a matched control group interrupted time series. Forty-six women matched to gestational age were assigned to either the experimental group (26) or control group (20). Data were collected between March 2007 and May 2008. For the experimental treatment the women performed abdominal breathing 30 times, which took 5 minutes, and did one set of 5-minute abdominal breathing daily for three days. Data collection was done before and after the abdominal breathing to measure VAS-A, blood pressure, peripheral skin temperature and oxygen saturation. Descriptive, chi-square, Mann-Whitney U tests were used to analyze the data with the SPSS/PC+Win 15.0 program. RESULTS: For the experimental group there were significant decreases in VAS-A (Z=-4.37, p=.00), systolic blood pressure (Z=-3.38, p=.00), and an increase in skin temperature (Z=-4.50, p=.00) and oxygen saturation (Z=-3.66, p=.00). CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that abdominal breathing in pregnant women in preterm labor results in decreases in anxiety(VAS-A) including biological evidences such as systolic blood pressure, and increases in peripheral skin temperature and oxygen saturation. Further longitudinal study is needed on the lasting effects and obstetric and neonatal outcomes following abdominal breathing.
