The spotted grouped pigmented nevi is one of special forms of non-giant congenital melanocytic nevi. Histologically the nevus cells tend to proliferate around the skin appendages. We have experienced a case of spotted ground pigmented nevi in a 11 year old girl who had a pigmented plaque consisting of grouped brown black regularly distributed papules on the left inguinal region since birth. Histology revealed intradermal nevus. The skin appendages, especially the hair follicles and eccrine sweet ducts were enveloped by the neuvs cells. Electron microscopic study revealed that this nevus cells were mostly of type B cells. We would like to consider that the spotted grouped nevi are closely related pathogenically with the skin appendages.

PURPOSE: The status of the pelvic lymph node provides important information with respect to the choice of therapy and prognosis in patients with prostate cancer. we evaluated the clinical effectiveness and safety of laparoscopic pelvic lymph node dissection in 7 patients with prostate cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From July 1996 to December 1997, 7 patients whose mean age was 67.7year (range 56-73) underwent transperitoneal laparoscopic pelvic lymph node dissection as a staging procedure for prostatic cancer. We evaluated the clinical stage, Gleason score, PSA, number of harvested lymph nodes, operative time, postoperative hospital stay, and complications. RESULTS: Clinical stage was T1c-T2c, and mean Gleason score was 7.6(range 6-10). Mean preoperative PSA was 35.3ng/ml(range 19-56.2). The mean number of removed lymph nodes was 8.4(range 5-12) and lymph node metastases were noted in 2 patients. Mean operative time was 180.7minutes (range 140-260). Mean postoperative hospital stay was 2.1 days(range 2-3). Conversion from the laparoscopic procedure to open surgery was not required. Subcutaneous emphysema occurred in 2 patients and was conservatively managed. CONCLUSIONS: Our preliminary experience suggests that laparoscopic pelvic lymph node dissection could be performed safely and efficiently to detect the pelvic lymph node metastasis in patients with prostate cancer with a short hospital stay and a low morbidity, though being more time-consuming.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of nurses' mentoring functions and job satisfaction on their turnover intention on the basis of Kram's mentoring phases. METHODS: The participants were 286 nurses who were working at tertiary or general hospitals. Data were collected through surveys conducted between February 1 and 27, 2017, analyzed using independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and hierarchical multiple regression with the IBM SPSS 21.0 program. RESULTS: The mean mentoring functions score was 3.64 out of 5 points. Job satisfaction had statistically significant positive correlation with mentoring function (p < .05), while turnover intention showed statistically significant negative correlation with job satisfaction (p < .001). Job satisfaction was the only statistically significant variable affecting turnover intention in all three phases p < .001). CONCLUSION Nursing organizations may reduce nurses' turnover intention by increasing job satisfaction, which can be improved by developing and applying a differentiated mentoring program according to the nurses' mentoring phases.
