T. verrucosum Infection has been reported for the first time in 1986 in Korea and has been increasing progressively. To evaluate the progress of clinical and histopathological change of dermatophytosis caused by T. verrucosum, inoculation study, using T. verrucosum isolated from infected human (human strain) and from infected cattle (cattle strain), was done in 24 male albino Hartley guinea pig. Their clinical and histopathological changes were evaluated. In addition, comparison for the growth rate between human strain and cattle strain on Sabouraud's glucose agar was made. The results were as follows: 1. Growth rate on Sabouraud's glucose agar: Cattle strain showed significantly more rapid growth rate than human strain on Sabouraud's glucose rate at 25℃ and 37℃. And cattle strain showed more rapid growth rate at 37℃ than 25℃. But human strain showed no significant difference of growth rate at both temperature. 2. Clinical findings: Initial erythema, scale and crust were developed about 8th after inoculation. All three findings reached maximum severity about 12th to 16th day and disappeared about 30th to 34th day after inoculation. There was no significant difference in progress of erythema, scale and crust between cattle strain and human strain. 3. Histopathological findings: Although mild acanthosis was noticed on the 3rd day after inoculation, the other findings including parakeratosis, intraepidermal abscess, spongiosis and vascular change, cellular infiltration were found on 9th day after inoculation. They reached maximum severity on the 12th day and lasted to the 25th day after inoculation. After that, all three findings were decreased gradually between 29th day and 33th day. On the PAS staining, hyphae and spores were found on the 6th day and disappeared on the 21th day after inoculation. 4. In trichophyton skin test, all of the 24 guinea pigs became positive within average 9.83±1.17 days These findings suggested that dermatophytosis caused by T.verrucosum induced rapid cell mediated immunity and contributed to rapid resolution of the lesion.

Primary pyogenic psoas abscess is rare lesion, and often is not suspected. Reasons for delayed diagnosis are unfamility with the lesion and the fact that symptoms often resemble those of primary disease of the hip. We present a case of primary pyogenic psoas abscess in child, which was diagnosed by MRI, and completely recovered after surgical treatment.

To Evaluate the clinical characteristics of childhood-onset systemic lupus erythemoatosus (SLE) and analyse the factors related to outcome of renal function in lupus nephritis, we reviewed medical records of 18 cases of SLF diagnosed at the Department of Pediatrics. Pusan National University Hospital from January 1981 to December 1990. The results were as follow: 1)Male to female ratio was 1:2.6. 2) Nephropathy was the most common initial impression, and 8 cases were diagnosed as SLE at first. 3) The clinical menifestation. was ANA (+), malar rash, renal disorder, hematologic disorder in frequency. 4) Diffuse proliferative lupus nephritis was the most common in renal histopathologic studies. 5) Among the follow-up cases, active lupus was 39%, remission was 28%. 6) As factors related to outcome of lupus nephrits were, hypertension and proteinuria were siginificant statistically.

PURPOSE: This study was done to evaluate the effect and retention of CPR training in nursing students. METHODS: The participants were 64 nursing students enrolled in K University in Busan. Data were collected from April 3 to October 20, 2006 using a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the SPSS/PC 12.0 statistical program. RESULTS: The first hypothesis, that knowledge (t=-17.865, p=0.000) and skill (t=-11.216, p= 0.000) scored directly following the teaching program would be higher than before the program, was supported. The second hypothesis, that knowledge (t=-8.325, p=0.171) and skill (t=-9.812, p=0.062) scored directly after the teaching program would be higher than two months later, was rejected. The third hypothesis, that knowledge (t=-9.162, p=0.010) and skill (t=-6.019, p=0.023) scored two months after the program would be higher than four months after the program, was supported. The last hypothesis, that knowledge (t=9.169, p=0.210) and skill (t=-5.012, p=0.319) scored four months after the program would be higher than six months after the program, was rejected. CONCLUSION: Overall retention of CPR training among nursing students, without reinforcement, decreases most significantly between two and four months following initial training. Accordingly CPR training should be repeated with the same clients every four months.
