우리나라 인구의 약 1~2%가 앓고 있으며 약 100만 명 정도가 건선으로 심한 고통을 받고 있다. 아토피가 주로 어린이∙청소년에게 많다면 건선은 20-30대 성인에게 흔하다. 가장 조심해야 할 연령대는 활동이 왕성한 20대 초반, 특히 면역력이 약해지기 쉬운 여성들이다. 급증하는 젊은 여성들의 음주와 흡연, 불규칙한 수면과 식사 등은 건선을 유발할 위험이 크므로 이에 대한 주의가 필요하다

한국의 급속한 경제발전과 공업화 과정에서 특히 연령층이 20∼49세의 젊은 농촌의 여성들이 대단히 많이 도시로 이동하였다. 농촌에서 농작업에 종사하는 여성들은 주로 수도, 채소 및 과수재배에서 많은 육체적인 노동을 하고 있다. 특히 농촌에서 농약을 산포하는 일은 여성들이 많이 하고 있다. 1960년도 이후 1992년도에 달하는 지난 32년 기간동안에 국민소득 수준이 1%증가됨에 따라서 농촌여성이 667명씩 감소되었다는 사실이 단순회귀 분석에 의하여 증명되었다. 그리고 농약을 산포한 여성들의 암에 의한 사망률이 산포하지 아니한 여성들 보다 높다는 사실이 실증적으로 증명되었다. 1968년도에 2정보의 농경지 규모에서 전체 노동시간 가운데 여성의 노동시간이 차지하는 비율이 55,72%로서 나타나고 있다. 그런데 1992년도에 동일규모에서 여성들이 노동시간이 차지하는 비율은 44.58%로서 감소되고 있다. 앞으로 건전한 농촌의 환경을 지속적으로 보존하기 위하여서는 여성들의 귀중한 생명을 보존하고 동시에 소비자들의 건강을 보호하는 유기농법이 실천되어야 할 것이다.

Extraskeletal chondroma is a benign soft tissue tumor which is composed of hyaline cartilage but arises from the fibrous stroma rather than from mature cartilaginous or osseous tissue. Extraskeletal chondroma is relatively rare and occurs most frequently in the soft tissue around the joints of hands and feet. We present one case of extraskeletal chondroma in a finger of a young woman.

Leiomyoma is a benign solitary tumor which is originated from a smooth muscle cell and grows slowly. It is most commonly found in the uterus and can develop anywhere that smooth muscle is present, including esophagus, lower extremity, stroma of GI tract, and pleura. However, the occurrence of leiomyoma in the hand is so uncommon. We present one case of solid type leiomyoma found in the right $4^{th}$ finger of a young woman.

It is well known that low body mass index and younger age are associated with high breast density. Mammographic dense breast has been reported both as a cause of false-negative findings on mammography and as an indicator of increased breast cancer risk. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between breast density and body mass index. Furthermore, we considered proper screening method of breast cancer in Korean women. The study was performed on 496 women who underwent health checkup in a university hospital. Age and body mass index were negatively associated with breast density respectively. In postmenopausal women, age and body mass index showed statistically significant association with breast density. Therefore, we should consider sensitive additional method for breast cancer screening especially in younger age and underweight women.

주위 사람 중 피임으로 질외사정을 했으나 아기가 생겼다고 하는 사람들이 한두명쯤은 만날 수 있다. 의외로 많은 젊은 사람들이 피임수단으로 질외사정을 하고 있다. 정액을 여성의 몸 밖에서 해결했는데 왜 아기가 태어난 걸까?

Education effect on women's participation in the labor market has been known to be small in Korea. Then, the meaning of women's education as human capital needs to be questioned. Both the increasing desire for working among women and the criticism to under-utilization of women's education in the labor market reflect that women's education is surely perceived as human capital. However, women's education dose not seem to function well as human capital in the labor market. According to previous studies, it is pointed out that educational effect on women's participation in the labor market is weak but the effect on earnings is evident. There were few attempts to evaluate economic returns to women's education over the life-cycle analyzing both working and non-working women. Considering that the economic behaviors of women in nonagricultural sector have changed little until the mid-1980s, I tried to examine the meaning of education as human capital over the women's life cycle using cross - sectional data. This study shows that the educational effect on women's participation in the labor market does not exist and the working period is very short. Although the educational effect on earnings among working women is clearly shown, it tends to limited to younger women. Despite the educational effect on earnings among younger women, the meaning of education as human capital among Korean women does not hold well due to short working period and the low participation of the educated in the labor market.

The purpose of this study is to elucidate the possible cause of falling owing to mechanical energy in elderly women as compared to young women when performing the sit-to-walk movement. Two groups participated in this study: 10 elderly women and 10 young women. We used a ProReflex MCU camera (Qualisis, Sweden) and ground reaction force to evaluate the mechanical work. The muscle power (W) showed the same low negative work in both groups in the extension phase of the knee and hip joints while varying the angular velocity and net muscle moment of force. Elderly women, in particular, showed lower negative work. In mechanical work (J), the knee and hip joints of both groups showed the same amount of negative work in the extension phase. In the hip joint, elderly women showed lower negative work results in each phase. These result showed the possible reasons of falling for elderly women according to the weakness of the thigh muscle of the hip joint during the sit-to-walk movement.

Purpose: The purpose of this work was to study the differences of cyclooxygenase (COX-2) expression between Korean and Caucasian patients with early-onset breast carcinoma by immunohistochemistry. The test were analyzed to find a correlation between COX-2 and other biomarkers including HER-2/neu amplification, because we previously reported that a significant difference had been found in the expression of HER-2/neu between the two races. Furthermore, we investigated prognostic significance of COX-2 in korean patients. Materials and Methods: Sixty Korean women who were diagnosed breast carcinoma at 45 years old or younger and 60 Caucasian women with breast carcinoma were selected for this study. The median age of both groups was 37 years and tumor sizes were distributed evenly between the two group. Paraffin embedded blocks of primary tumor were processed for immunohistochemical staining of COX-2. The COX-2 expression was evaluated according to the percentage of positive cells and the intensity of staining. And the results were compared with the data of the previous studies to find correlation between COX-2 and other parameters and survival data. Results: Proportion of the COX-2 expression in total patients was $27.6\%$. The percentage of tumors that stained positive for COX-2 in korean and Caucasian women with early-onset breast carcinoma were $37.9\%$ and $20.8\%$, respectively. The difference was statistically not significant(p=0.090). Expression of COX-2 was not associated with several clinicopathologic parameters including HER-2/neu overexpression, but negative estrogen receptor status was correlated with significance (p=0.046). The 5 year disease free survival rate for patients with COX-2 expression was $67.9\%$, compared to $81.9\%$ of the COX-2 negative patients and the result was statistically not significant. Conclusions : A significant difference was not found in the expression of COX-2 between the two groups of patients with early-onset breast carcinoma. And correlation between COX-2 and other parameters was not observed except estrogen receptor negativity. Large scaled further research including radiotherapy factors will be needed to identify COX-2 as a prognostic role in patients with early-onset breast carcinoma.
