One hundred patients of osmidrosis were treated by surgical procedure at the Department of Dermatology, Wonkwang University Hospital. The methods of operative treatment were elliptical excision for 37(74), bipedicle incision with apocrine glancl undercutting for 14(28), and single incision wit.h apocrine gland undercutt,ing for 49 (98). The results were summarized as follows : 1. Of the 74 axillae treated by elliptical excision, one occurred recurrence, and 1.7 showed complication, hematoma in 6, infection and delayed union in 4, each necrosis and severe scar in one each, 2. Of the 28 axillae treated by bipedicle incision with apocrine gland undercutting, 6 showed complication; hematoma in 4, infection and delayed union in one each 3. Of t..he 98 axillae treated by single incision with apocrine gland undercutting, 5 showed complication, hematoma in 3, infection and delayed union in one each In conclusion, single incision with apocrine gland undercutting was found to be more excellent compared with the other surgical methods.

The clinical role of tumor markers to detect the extent of tumor invasion and recurrence in cervical cancer has been debated. To evaluate the chncal significance of SCC, CEA and TPA as tumor markers in cervical, we studied 744 patients weith cervieal cancer from June 1990 to Mey 1994. The cut-off val ues of SCC, CEA and TPA were 1.5 ng/ml, 4.5 ng/mi and 110 U/I respectively. Followings were the results. 1. The serum concentration and positive rates of SCC before therapy(567 cases) were 3,0+/-7.0ng/ml(40.4%) for stage I,8.7+/-13.9 ng/ml(71.6%) for stage II, 10.8+/-14.7 ng/ml(85.7%) for stage III, 23.9+/-24.3 ng/ml(94.7%) for stage IV, and 13.4+/-19.1 ng/ml(75.0%) for recurrent cancer. It was increased with advancing clinical stage(p<0.01). 2. The seum levels and positive rate of CEA before therapy(627cases) were 3.4+/-4.3 ng/ml (18%) for stage I, 7.1+/-12.3 ng/ml(37.2%) for stage II, 8.4+/-9.6 ng/ml(57.9%) for stage III, 15.4+/-22.2 ng/ml(52.6%) for stage IV, and 10.3+/-16.2 ng/ml(46.4%) for recurrent cancer. It was increased with advancing clinical stage from stage Ito stage III(p<0.01). 3. The serum concentration and positiceive rate of TFA before therapy(301cases) were 51.7+/-53.8 U/l(9.5%) for stage I, 105.3+/-108.8 U/l(32.3%) for stage II, 186.3%+/-159.8 U/l(50%) for stage III, 191.3+/-l06.2 U/I(63.6%) for stage IV, and 135.4+/-117.0 U/l(46.4%) for recurrent cancer. It was increased with advencing clinical stage(p<0.01). 4. In 64 patients{24.2%) with lymph node invasion of 265 patients treated by operation, the mean serum levels of SCC, CEA and TPA were higher than lymph node negative group(p<0.05). 5. The serum levels of SCCand CKA after therepy were 82.8% in sensitivity. 94.3% in specificity, 67.9% in positive predictive value, 97.4% in negative predictive value.

PURPOSE: This study was done to identify the factors of decisional balance for smoking cessation among middle aged men in Korea. This was composed of a set of variables at the level of decision making when middle aged men decide to stop smoking. It was used to classify and identify the characteristics of the stages of change for smoking cessation to which the middle aged men belong, and was used to identify the variables of decisional balance which influenced the stages of change for smoking cessation in middle aged men. METHODS: A convenience sample of 169 men who had smoked and were smoking, were between age 30 and 60 and lived in Seoul(mean age=44), were selected from the community. The data was collected from December 10, 1999 to February 28, 2000. The research instrument was the Decisional Balance Measure for Smoking Cessation (Velicer et al., 1985), and Stage of Change Measure(DiClemente et al., 1991). The data were analyzed using the SAS Program. RESULTS: 1. According to stage of change measure, the 169 subjects were distributed in each stage of change for smoking cessation: in the pre-contemplation stage 63 subjects (32.7%), contemplation stage 60 subjects (35.5%), preparation stage 17 subjects (10.1%), and maintenance stage 29 subjects(17.2%). 2. Factor analysis identified 4 factors of decisional balance as appropriate factors for smoking cessation of middle aged men. There were named by the researchers; 1)'Perceived Burden to Self', 2) 'Perceived Benefit to Others' 3)'Perceived Approval to Others', and 4)'Perceived Disapproval to Self'. 3. Analysis of variance showed that the three components, 1)'Perceived Burden to Self(F=8.50, P=0.0001)', 2) 'Perceived Benefit to Others(F=3.19, P=0.025)' and 3)'Perceived DisApproval to Self(F=2.87, P=0.038)were significantly associated with stage of change. 4. Through discriminant analysis, it was found that 'Perceived Burden to self' was the most influential variable in discriminating the four stages of change(pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, and maintenance). CONCLUSION: The results are consistent with the application of the Transtheoretical model, which has been used to understand how people change health behavior. Even though this study is a cross-sectional, not a longitudinal study, the findings of this study give useful information for smoking cessation intervention for the middle aged men.

Implant materials, for examples, plaster of Paris, Bone cement and ceramics which are used experimentally to regain shape and function, act as a scaffold for bone growth and contribute to the healing processes at bone defect developed by trauma, infection and other causes. Therefore, the effect of plastei of Paris on the bone defects of adult rabbits may be an interesting subject, particularly in the orthopedic field. The authors carried out an experiment to study the effect of plaster of Paris on the bone defect, using 30 adult rabbits weighing fmm 3000-3500 gm, which were divided into 3 main gmups. (Each group was composed of 10 adult rabbits.). In Group 1, which was the control group, made a defect at the proximal metaphysis of the tibia, 6 mm×6 mm×6 mm in size, using a drill bit and filled by hematoma spontaneously. In Group II and Group IU, a defect was also made by the same method as in Group I and a piece of Gelfoam or plaster of Paris was inserted into the bone defect respectively. Then we studied the healing processes of the bone defect by sacrifying animals of each group at 6th and 12 th week after operation. The results of this experiment were as follows. 1. New bone formarion in the bone defect was poor in group I and Gmup Il, but it was good in Group III. 2. The plaster of Paris, filling into the defect, was absorbed and removed from the site of implantation continuously and stimulated the new bone formation. 3. The Gelfoam in Group II was more rapidly absorbed than plaster of Paris and didn't stimulate the new bone formation.

Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2015;45(3):329-336
PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was to identify factors influencing physical activity among community-dwelling older adults with type 2 diabetes. The study design was based on the Theory of Triadic Influence. METHODS: A total of 242 older adults with type 2 diabetes participated in this study. Six variables related to physical activity in older adults, including self-efficacy, social normative belief, attitudes, intention, experience, and level of physical activity, were measured using reliable instruments. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation analyses, and a path analysis. RESULTS: The mean physical activity score was 104.2, range from zero to 381.21. The path analysis showed that self-efficacy had the greatest total effect on physical activity. Also, experience had direct and total effects on physical activity as well as mediated the paths of social normative beliefs to attitudes and intention to physical activity. These factors accounted for 10% of the total variance, and the fit indices of the model satisfied the criteria of fitness. CONCLUSION: The findings of the study reveal the important role of self-efficacy and past experience in physical activity in older adults with type 2 diabetes.
