1. Objectives We know that the origine of the pe-tsai is from 백채(白菜; pronounced as bak-tsai, meaning white vegetable). But some literatures said that the japanese butterbur(Petasites japonicus (Sieb. et Zucc.) Maxim) is from 백채(白菜;: pronounced as bak-tsai), too. These two words have same origin. It makes us get into a mess. So We are about to study the origine of the pe-tsai more. Also, we investigated its historical origin, properties and Sasang constitutional medicine's efficacy. 2. Methods We reviewed farmings(e.g. 山林經濟, 林園經濟法), dictionarys(e.g. 訓蒙字會), encyclopedia(e.g. 物名攷), books on herbs and medicines to summarize literatures about the pe-tsai. 3. Results and Conclusions (1) The origin of term, pe-tsai is sung, named after a pine tree(松), chineses character pronounced as song) which we can see throughout a year. Also, pe-tsai was called white vegetables(白菜, pronounced as bak-tsai) because its appearance is green and white. Therefore, the pronounciation of sung derives from its character and we also say bak-tsai(白菜), which came from its looks. (2) Today we pronounce pe-tsai inro bae-tsu(배추) in korean. There are pronunciational developments of this word : bak-tsai(白菜) $\to$ bae-tsae $\to$ bae-tsa $\to$ bae-tsa $\to$ bae-tsae(배채) $\to$ bae-tsu(배추). (3) Our ancestor used bak-tsai(白菜) as the name of japenese butterbur, which was different from China. The latter times of Joseon(조선), however, sometimes bak-tsai(白菜) meant pe-tsai. After the year of 1800, bak-tsai(白菜) only meant pe-tsai. So when we try to translate our ancestor's books, we must examine carefully their published year. (4) Pe-tsai is used for baby's erysipelas, boil, fever in the chest, thirst after alcohol drinking and kind of diabetes. It helps digestive organs as well. Pe-tsai is used for stress, fever in the chest and cough with fever of Soyangin and Tayangin in Sasang Constitutional Medicine.

A 4-year-old female reticulated giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis reticulata), at Seoul Zoo, Gwacheon, Korea had a male calf with no help of proper restraint devices. The mother giraffe was in a danger of dystocia more than 7 hours in labor after showing the calf's toe of the foreleg which protruded from her vulva. After tugging with a snare of rope on the metacarpal bone of the calf and pulling it, the other toe emerged. Finally, with two snares around each of metacarpal bones, the calf was completely pulled out by zoo staff. After parturition, the dam was in normal condition for taking care of the calf and her progesterone hormone had also dropped down to a normal pre-pregnancy.

A total of 167 patients underwent mascroscopic vasovasostomy by a modified double layer reanastomosis to correct postvasectomy sterility during a 5-year period between 1986 and 1991. We obtained the anatomical patency and pregnancy rates from 61 patients whose follow-ups were completed. There by, we report the following results. 1. Of the 167 patients, the mean age and the average duration of vasobstruction were 34.0 and 4. 4 years respectively. The reasons for ecanalization were desire for more baby in 71.9%. death of children, 24.5% and remarriage in 3.6%. 2. Of the 61 patients with complete follow-up. the anatomical patency and pregnancy rates were 83.6%(51 patients) and 50.8%(31 patients) respectively. 3. For the 36 out of 61 patients whose duration of vasobstruction was less than 5 years, the anatomical patency and pregnancy rates were 88.9%(32 patients) and 58.3%(21 patients) respectively. The rates for the remaining 25 patients whose duration was greater than 5 years were 80.0%(20 patients) and 40.0%(10 patients). 4. Of the 61 patients, 51 exhibited sperms from the proximal vas on microscope during the operation. Their anatomical patency and pregnancy rates were 88.2%(45) and 54.9%(28) respectively. The rates for the remaining 10 patients without any sperms were 60.0%(6) and 30.0%(3). From the above results, we can conclude that macroscopic reanastomoses by modified double layer technique has appreciable success rates that could possibly be compared to the microscopic results.

Neurocristopathy originates from aberrant development of the neural crest by genetic abnormality. Dysgenetic or neoplastic neurocristopathy mayor may not combine at one or more organs. Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (Ondine's curse) is characterized by the respiratory depression during sleep, although showing normal ventilation while awake, because the baby does not responde to hypercapnea or hypoxia. One newborn girl, full-term, 3,020 g of birth weight with neurocristopathy is reported. It showed poor respiration at birth, and temporary Improvement with oxygen and respiratory stimulations. Abdomen was distended. Abdominal x-ray revealed small bowel obstruction and calcified opacity at the right lower quadrant. Because transitional zone was noticed at the distal jejunum during laparotomy, jejunostomy was performed. Several times trial of extubation have failed becaused of the repeated apneas. Brain sonography and echocardiogram were normal. The patient died of sepsis at 37 days of age. Para-aortic ganglioneuroblastoma was found at autopsy. In this case, congenital central hypoventilation syndrome, Hirschsprung's disease and congenital ganglioneuroblastoma are combined as a neurocristopathy.

It is an important task to give adequate nutritions to infants and to wean properly for rapid growth. This study was conducted to survey on doing the weaning activities of the first-time mother. This study was to provide basic data of health teaching and nursing intervention for the promotion of ideal weaning activities. Survey was done from January to February in 2001. Total 444 mothers who have first-time baby under twelve month old were interviewed in five community health center around contry (Seoul, Choung-ju, Asan, Cheon-an, Jeju). The results are summarized as follows; Starting time of weaning was common in four month old(40.4%). Most common daily weaning times by age showed once(under 3 months), twice(4 to 7 months), three times(8 to 12 months). The younger, the more commercial weaning products(p<0.01). Education level showed relatively positive relation with home-made weaning food(p<0.05). Items showed low scores in 4 to 7 months group were starting new food item, waiting at least one week interval to new food, feeding by milk bottle, allowing grasping spoon, consulting pediatrician for problems after weaning, starting from morning, regular schedule. Items showed low scores in 8 to 12 months group were feeding whole egg rather than yolk only up to 12 months, keeping weaning interval were increased, feeding by milk bottle, trying various cooking method, not giving commerical cooking and instant food and unproper raw milk feeding. In weaning activities by general factors, mother age, health status, marriage duration, monthly income were statistically significant (p<0.05). To improve good weening activities, targetting on low maternal age and poor health status, and low income group, developing teaching materials and training program for items showed low scores and proper weaning time, type of easy home-made food and easy cooking method should be provided. Further study on effect of nursing intervention to improve weaning activities are needed.

According to the research taken by the National Statistical Office, the fertility rate of a Korean fertile female is 1.17. This figure is the lowest in the world, and the reduction in the fertility rate over the last 30 years was the biggest in the world. It can be seen as a warning alarm about the effects of a low birth rate and a silver society. Assuming that there are several factors involved in this phenomenon, this study inquired into the attitude towards children, attitude towards nourishing children, attitude towards sex roles and the harmony between the jobs and families of married females, and examined the factors that influence the willingness to give birth. Final 581 copies of the survey questionnaire were used for analysis and the collected data were analysed by SPSS, Pearson's correlation analysis, t-test, ANOVA, and Duncan's Multiple Range Test. Three main conclusions were reached: Firstly, the value variables, such as sex-role attitudes and the preference for work or home, affect the willingness to give birth. Therefore, it can be said that one's values have a significant effect on these variables and the willingness to give birth. Secondly, both working morns and housewives have a strong tendency to give a birth if they are supported on child rearing. Finally, the employment of the married women itself can be a variable that can affect childbirth. In other words, the working hours affect employed married women so as sex-role attitudes, the preference between work and home, ideal number of children, and the income to housewives. Also, even in whole married women, the employment itself can be a major factor of the willingness to have a baby. Therefore, unemployed married women have more of a tendency to have children than employed married women.

Many deaf parents are the most difficult points, while child care does not hear the cries of the child points. So, because the child is hungry or cry cry aloud immediately respond when asked to change the gwijeogi should be possible with the help of additional equipment or others. To address these challenges of parenting using IT technology to solve by developing an Android application that provides a notification to your device instead of using the Arduino equipped with a microphone that measures the cries of the children and your parents. These systems by informing the sounds of children apart from the child and the parents must become a help to the communication of deaf parents and children.
