This study investigated the degree of knowledge achievement and self-confidence in aseptic technique as a part of the fundamental nursing practice classes. The subjects were 220 nursing students in a junior college in Chonnam and an applied Quasi -experimental research methodology was used thirty of them comprised an experimental group to examine learning according to the teaching method. Wata were collected over 80 days, from April to June 1988, analyzed using descriptive statistics, percentages, means, t-test, one way ANOVA Pearson's correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression with the SAS program. The conclusions are as follows. 1. The mean score of the degree of knowledge achievement of aseptic technique of the 220 students was 0.68(possible score 1.0) before the lecture but was 0.88 after lecture(p=.000). 2. The mean score for aseptic technique of the 220 students was 3.41(possible score 5.0) before practice but was 4.27 after practice(p=.000). 3. The correlation of self-confidence before and after practice was relatively low(r=.25, p=.000). 4. The mean score of the degree of knows edge achievement of aseptic technique in the experimental group(selected 30 students) was 0.72 before the lecture but was 0.90 after the lecture. 5. The mean score of self-confidence on aseptic technique in the experimental group(selected 30 students) was 3.18 before practice but was 4.32 after practice (p=.000). 6. The mean score of learning according to the type of teaching to aseptic technique for the experimental group(selected 30 students) was 23.2(possible score 34) after lecture and presentation, was 27.3 after learning through video tape, was 31.7 after presentation through practice, was 33.7 after first practical training, and was 34 after secondary practical training. As a result of this study, learning methods in the education of fundamental nursing skill effective for knowledge achievement and competence in practicing skill.

BACKGROUND: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effect of propofol on the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) during the first 24 hours after minor orthopedic surgery using general anesthesia. METHODS: We studied 66 healthy female patients (aged 20-67 years old). The patients were randomly divided into the two groups: (i) Group P (n=33): Anesthesia was induced with propofol and fentanyl, and maintained with continuous infusion of propofol. (ii) Group E (n=33): Anesthesia was induced with thiopental and fentanyl, and maintained with enflurane. We compared the incidence and severity of PONV at 6 and 24 hours after the operation between the two groups. RESULTS: The incidence and severity of PONV in Group P was significantly lower than in Group E during the first 6 hours after the operation (p<0.05). However, after 6 hours, there was no significant differences between the two groups. CONCLUSION: In the early postoperative period, the use of propofol prevents PONV.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Little information is available about the buccal gingival level of multiple implant restorations. PURPOSE: This study was aimed to evaluate the relationship between width and height of buccal soft tissue around single and 2 adjacent implant restorations. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Four implant restoration groups (first and second molars, single second molars, posterior single restorations between teeth, and anterior single restorations between teeth) were randomly chosen from one dental institute. Each group comprised of 6 patients. After 6 months of function, silicone impressions were taken and stone models were fabricated for each restoration group. The stone models were cut in bucco-lingual direction at the most apical point of buccal gingival margin. The height and width of buccal supra-implant soft tissue were measured. One way ANOVA and Tukey HSD post hoc tests were performed to analyze the data obtained (P < .05). RESULTS: The most unfavorable width-height ratio was noted for the group, which was comprised of the second molar in the multiple adjacent (first and second molar) implant-supported restorations. The group also resulted in the shorter height of buccal supra-implant mucosa rather than that of anterior single implant restorations between natural teeth. CONCLUSION: To achieve a favorable level of buccal gingival margin, greater thickness of buccal supra-implant mucosa is required for the implant restorations without a neighboring natural tooth compared to the implant restorations next to a natural tooth.

Epidermal nevus syndrome is now delineated as a congenitally acquired syndrome consisting of deformities of the skin (various linear epidermal or organoid nevi), central nervous system, skeleton, cardiovascular system, and renal system. A 4-year-old girl had linear epidermal nevus on the right lower extremity, right ear lobe and anterior neck, and multiple skeletal abnorrnalities since birth. And she had an adult fist-sied, soft, nontender mass on the right lower abdomen since 2 years of age. Radiologic examination showed scoliosis of the thoracic spines, deformities of the lumbar spines, focal gigantisms of the left hand and right foot, and other skeletal abnormalities. Histological examination of the linear, verrucous lesion of the right leg showed hyperkeratosis and papillomatosis. The surgically removed abdominal mass revealed the finding of hydrosalpinx.
