Pheochromocytoma is one of the surgically curable hypertensive diseases and can arise wherever chromaffin cells are located. Herein, a case of extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma developed in a 51 year-old male is presented with brief review of literatures.

The purpose of nursing education is to prepare the professional practitioner as nurse who will be interested in the health and the related aspects of community and will assume responsibility for contributing toward the improvement of the health for the all. This means that nursing education must provide opportunities for the development of knowledge, skills, and attitudes which make this possible. Consequently, this approach has relevance for nursing education. Faculty engaged in endless debates about what is to be included, and to what death, and what will be given short shrift as a result. Thus, it can be seen why there is so much confusion and lack of agreement between the emphasis and objectives in nursing. This study attempted to review and identify the curriculum content of child nursing in Korea to build and develop the standard curriculum contents for national board examination for nurses and child's health needs for the coming 21st century. The questionnaire was consisted of items for selection and organization of the knowledge components and type of unit with weigh to be attained in child nursing. Response of 34% of nursing program in university and junior college. Content analysis was done by using consensual validation of essential knowledge for curriculum content to identify what is obvious or trivial. This study pointed out that it is not yet apparent that demographic fact has greatly influenced child nursing curriculum content. In a similar vein the majority of content of child nursing devote little time and weigh to social and epidemically significant to child health. It seems to be needed that the content of child nursing may push the paradigm shift in nursing education such as health promotion and prevention for postretinal roles of child and family. In conclusion, it is time to convoke and content and standardization on job analysis for national board exam for nurses in Korea.

Craniosynostosis is the term that designates premature fusion of one or more sutures in either cranial vault or cranial base. Strip craniectomy had been recorded in the literature before the turn of the century, and remarkable improvements in the correction of the craniosynostosis have taken place. Various surgical methods including frontal bone advancement and cranial vault remodeling have been developed in an effort to correct craniosynostosis. However, the standardized surgical method has not yet been established. Distraction osteogenesis had been developed by Ilizarov to elongate bones without bone graft and the technique was developed so as to lengthen the long bones. Karp and McCarthy reported successful membranous bone lengthening with external devices and noted that cortical bone formed in the expanded area of the mandible. In the field of cranial vault, the technique has been successfully used by Sugawara and many efforts are made to improve cranial vault deformities. There are two possible modes of bone regeneration in case of patients for whom gradual distraction of cranial vault is performed. Bone regeneration of cranial vault may occur from the cut edges of calvaria(distraction osteogenesis) or from islands within the dura mater. We have experienced four patients with craniosynostosis who had undergone surgical correction using distraction device. Because we believed that latent period was not an important factor, we could early initiate distraction schedule. All patients obtained satisfactory results and no relapse was observed during the follow-up period. In conclusion, we believe that latent period would not be an important factor in distraction osteogenesis of cranial vault and the distraction osteogenesis by gradual distraction is useful for the correction of craniosynostosis.

To examine the cytotoxic effect of chemotherapy on the ovary, 23 cases undergoing oophorectomy with radical hysterect,orny in premenopausal wemen receiving induction chemotherapy with cisplatin and 5-fluomouracil for carcinoma of the cervix between March, 1989 and December, 1992 were studied by light microscopy. Out of 23 cases, 19 (82.6%) showed vascular congestion and 12(52.1%) revealed hemorrhage around folliele and within corpus luteum. The follicular structure was desLroyed in 16 cnses (69.5%) and oocytes of ovums were lost in 17 cases. The mechanism of injury of the ovarian structures after combination chemotherapy with cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil is considered to be caused by secondary cell damage following circulatory disturbance of direct toxicity on fallicular cells of oocytes.
