International marriage migrants from developing to developed countries are to seek a better economic condition. There are only a few empirical research on comparing and analyzing economic condition of marriage migrants before and after marriage. This study attempted to analyze the relationship between the cognition on the change of economic condition before and after marriage and the socio-economic characteristics of Vietnamese international marriage female migrants. About 80% of interviewees of this study were motivated to marry Korean men for economic reasons; however, their household economic level was relatively low. Reflecting the household economic level, about half the Vietnamese women considered that there was very little difference in the economic condition before and after marriage; while, the percent of women considering the current economic condition as getting better were more than 4 times of that of women considering as becoming worse. The cognition on the economic condition change before and after marriage was positively correlated with the level of education attainment of husbands and themselves, the Korean language ability, state of occupation in Korea, the level of husband's income, involvement of management of living expenses and length of residence in Korea. The occupation in Vietnam and the state of remittance were not significantly related to the cognition on the economic condition change before and after marriage. Vietnamese marriage female migrants were highly motivated to have a job out of home to improve the economic condition of their own family and natal family. Concreted alternative programs should be made to help those women to work out of home.

This study aims to restore the many aspects of infertility, first through its meaning in the medical classics. Methods : Texts were chosen from before and after the Song period, when the study and practice on women's health took a launch into becoming a specialized field. Huangdineijing, Jinguiyaolue, and Zhubingyuanhoulun listed basic theories considering the physiology and pathology of woman, while Jiaozhufurenlangfang, Donguibogam, and Fuqingzhuyixue dealt with specialized contents regarding women. Results : The findings were categorized into three major aspects of infertility; natural, medical and non-medical. The three aspects of infertility would not be easy to distinguish in real life, as they are inter-connected through the body as a site of embodiment. Conclusions : The discussion of the many aspects of infertility outside of the immediate medical definition implies the complexity of infertility as a life phenomenon, bringing attention to the importance of the experience in the life context.

Kartagener's syndrome, a congenital disease transmitted as an autosomal recessive illness with a prevalence of approximately 1:20,000 persons, is characterized by the triple association of situs inversus, bronchiectasis, and sinusitis. Affected persons have an incoordination of ciliary motility that leads to defective mucociliary transport, chronic bronchial infections. Kartagener's syndrome is a subset of the immotile cilia syndrome and therefore all patients with Kartagener's syndrome have immotile cilia with obvious ultrastructural defects in the ciliary axoneme. In the respiratory tract this inability presumably causes impaired clearance of mucus and inhaled particles and results in the chronic infections of the sinuses and bronchial trees that are characterized of the disease. The end-stage phenomenon in Kartagener's syndrome, respiratory or heart failure is a less common event and heart-lung transplantation is becoming an accepted therapy for patients with end-stage pulmonary disease in Kartagener's syndrome in many institutes. We report one case of Kartagener's syndrome in a 25-year-old young woman who was presented as respiratory and right heart failures, with review of literatures.
