Gefitinib를 사용할 경우 발생할 수 있는 급성호흡부전은 주로 남성, 흡연자, 편평상피세포암 혹은 사이성 폐질환 등에서 발생하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 이와 같은 임상적 요인이 없는 경우 이 약제를 안전하게 사용할 수 있을 것이다. 연구자 등은 흡연한 적이 없고, EGFR 유전자의 19번 엑손 돌연변이를 보였던 47세 여성 선암 환자에서 gefitinib 투여 후 발생한 급성호흡부전을 보고하며, 부작용의 발생기전이 밝혀지지 않은 시점에서, 이들 임상적 특성을 보이는 환자에서도 호흡기계 부작용의 발생 가능성에 대한 임상의사의 주의를 촉구하는 바이다.

Mammary analogue secretory carcinoma (MASC) is a rare malignant tumor of the salivary gland, which was first described in 2010. In this case report, we describe a 62-year-old woman with a MASC of the parotid gland, who initially presented with an asymptomatic preauricular mass. At first, computed tomography (CT) and fine needle aspiration cytology were performed; these suggested a possible Warthin's tumor but also some suspicious malignant findings. For the main treatment, adequate parotidectomy was conducted via modified Blair incision to remove the tumor. Postoperative pathology report revealed a MASC of the parotid gland. Specific MASC findings were observed upon immunohistochemical examination.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore how homeless shelter worker and public health nurses perceive health status and health care of homeless shelter residents (HSRs). Methods: Data collected through focus group interviews. In Focus group, in-depth discussions were between 150 to 160 minutes. Data analyzed using Krueger (1998) step analysis. Participants were seven experienced clinical social workers, nurses working homeless shelters, and public health center nurses for dosshouse people. Results: The results were 4 themes and 15 sub-themes: Characteristics of HSRs, perception of health and health problem of HSRs (alcohol related disease, hypertension Diabetics, gastro-intestinal disease, dental disease and infectios disease such as Tuberculosis, musculo-skeletal disease, prostate problem), health care status of HSRs(insufficient health care service, discrimination of medical staff, lack of health care management, low satisfaction community health care services), and the health care proposal of HSRs(nurse in homeless shelter, integrated health care system, understanding of homeless) Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, health care programs focusing on understanding of HSRs and chronic diseases of HSRs increasing steadily although the management system is limited. Therefore, more systemized health care plan and health referral system for homeless people.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the sports injuries of korea women hockey players before and during the international KT Cup game This study was done by survey questions about injuries of 20 players. The results were as follows: 1. Before game types of injuries are muscular strain ($51\%$), ligament injury ($25\%$), contusion ($8\%$), fracture ($8\%$), abrasion ($8\%$). But the types during game appeared as contusion ($50\%$), ligament injury ($33.3\%$), muscular strain ($16.7\%$). 2. Before game regions of injuries are lower limbs ($45.5\%$), back/torso ($36.4\%$), upper limbs ($18.2\%$). But the regions during game appeared as upper limbs ($71.4\%$), lower limbs ($28.6\%$). 3. During the game, the injuries were caused by ball ($66\%$), collision ($17\%$), that fall ($17\%$). These results indicate the importance that players need enough stretching before they start exercise. Also, in order to protect their upper limbs, players must wear gloves before games

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to measure the level of job stress and health status and find out factors affecting the health status among circulation enterprise workers. Method: This study was a cross-sectional descriptive study. The subjects were 128 workers whose mean age was 33.2 years. Korean occupational stress questionnaire Short Form was used to measure job stress. Todai Heath Index that was made by Aoki in 1977 and translated by Kim(1997) was used to measure the health status. Results: The total job stress scores of men and woman fell in the lower 50% of Korean workers. Job autonomy and interpersonal conflicts as a subcategories fell in upper level 50% in both men and women and job insecurity fell in the upper level 50% in women. The mean score of health status was 51.47, indicating slightly higher frequency of complains of health symptoms. There was no significant correlation between total job stress and total health status. Finally, factors influencing the health status were organizational system and age. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to develop comprehensive stress management programs including interventions of personal and organizational levels for promoting workers' health.

Tamoxifen and radiotherapy are used in breast cancer treatment worldwide. Radiation recall dermatitis (RRD), induced by tamoxifen, has been rarely reported. Herein, we report a RRD case induced by tamoxifen. A 47-year-old woman had a right quadrantectomy and an axillary lymph node dissection due to breast cancer. The tumor was staged pT2N0; it was hormone receptor positive, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative. The patient received adjuvant chemotherapy followed by tamoxifen and radiotherapy. After 22 months of tamoxifen, the patient developed a localized heating sensation, tenderness, edema, and redness at the irradiated area of the right breast. The symptoms improved within 1 week without treatment. Three weeks later, however, the patient developed similar symptoms in the same area of the breast. She continued tamoxifen before and during dermatitis, and symptoms resolved within 1 week.

Primary malignant lymphoma of the lung is a very rare disease, which consists of 0.34% of entire malignant lymphoma. The majority are low-grade B-cell tumors, and because of their morphological peculiarities and overall excellent prognosis, many cases, like many other extranodal lymphomas, have been mislabelled as "pseudolymphomas" in the past. For these reasons their true incidence is difficult to estimate. An incidentally discovered mass in the right middle lobe of a 36-year-old woman was operated on November 9, 2001 at Hanyang University Hospital. A right upper lobectomy was done and the pathologic diagnosis of extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of MALT type was made.

Purpose: Nerve sheath myxoma is a rare cutaneous neoplasm originating from the peripheral nerve sheath and divided into three groups : myxoid, cellular and mixed type. There is a controversy on it's origin whether schwannian cell or perineurial differentiation, or anything else. Myxoid nerve sheath myxoma is asymptomatic, soft, papule or nodule in middle-age adults. We report a case of myxoid nerve sheath myxoma on the fingertip. Methods: A 53-year-old woman presented with a painful, $0.4{\times}0.4{\times}0.6\;cm $sized, corn shaped nodule on the left 3rd fingertip. We put into surgical excision and studied it by histopathologically and specific immnohistochemical stain. Results: The tumor has well defined nodules separated by thin fibrous connective tissue with abundant myxoid stroma and were positively stainded for S-100 protein, NSE and GFAP. After surgical treatment it was healed without recurrence. Conclusion: Nerve sheath myxoma is rare neoplasm and located mainly on face, but very rarely on the fingertip. We report a case of painful myxoid nerve sheath myxoma located on the 3rd fingertip.

Diffuse pulmonary ossification is rare disease of unknown etiology. Since the first description by Luschka in 1856, about 140 cases have been reported worldwide, but no such case has been reported in Korea yet. We report 40-year-old woman who was diagnosed as diffuse nodular pulmonary ossification on open lung biopsy. She has no respiratory symptoms & physical findings and no previous disease history. She was incidentally found to have multiple pulmonary nodules on roentgenographic examination. Open lung biopsy was done for above lesion and She was proven to have diffuse nodular pulmonary ossification. She was followed by roentgenographic examination and showed no progression.

A 48 year old woman was diagnosed with a huge cystic mass in her abdominal cavity. She complained of significant abdominal discomfort due to the mass. The abdominal computed tomography revealed a giant multi-lobulated mass, measuring $26{\times}12$ cm in size, adjacent to the lesser curvature of the stomach. In the operation field, the mass was found to originate from the lesser omentum, including the right and left gastric vessels and the vagus nerves, and to invade the lesser curvature of the stomach. For curative resection, distal subtotal gastrectomy with mass excision followed by gastroduodenostomy were performed. This mass was pathologically diagnosed to be a mesenteric cystic lymphangioma; in fact, the largest ever reported. The patient had no complications during the postoperative period and was discharged from the hospital on the seventh day after surgery.
