Bullying has recently become a serious social problem in Korean society. Bullying, which is defined as a phenomenon that one particular student is intensively and continuously harassed or ostracized by a group of students, is apt to produce harmful effects on bullies as well as victims. Bullying has many causes including those originated from the personality of victims and bullies. This study is designed to investigate the difference in personality trait between victims, bullies, victims/bullies, and neither. The subjects of this study were 215(115 male and 100 female) 6th-grade students in the primary school in Seoul. Questionnares were distributed to the students and their carers. The student carers were also asked to answer the questions for a survey called the Korean Personality Invertory for Children(KPI-C). SPSS was used for the statistical analysis of the collected test information；ANOVA, post hoc scheffe test, and T-test were used to analyze the differences between the tested groups. The result of the study is as follows. 1) The victims, bullies, victims/bullies and neither totaled respectively 11(5.1%), 56(26.0%), 11(5.1%) and 137(63.7%). 115 were male and 100 were female. 2) The frequency of victimized is as follows：1 time is 15(7.0%), 2 times is 4(1.9%) and more than 3 times is 3(1.4%). The frequency of bullying is as follows；1 time is 40(18.6%), 2 times is 17 (7.9%) and more than 3 times is 10(4.7%). 3) The differences between froups in KPI-C test is as follows. (1) The ESR(p=.00) scale was significantly lower in the victims group than in the neither group and the HPR(p=.00) scale and PSY(p<.01) scale were significantly higher in the former than in the latter. (2) The ESR(p=.00) scale was significantly lower in the victims/bullies group than in the neither group and the SOM(p=.00) scale and HPR(p=.00) scale were significantly higher in the formaer than in the latter. (3) The SOC(p=.00) scale, PSY(p<.01) scale and AUT(p=.00) scale were significantly higher in the victims group than in the bullies group. (4) There is statistically no difference between the bullies group and the neither group. To conclusion, Victims need to learn how to cope with harsh situations, or they will have to face difficulties in relationships. Even after they experience bullying, they may not realize why they have been bullied, or speak out for themselves.

Bronchoplasty has gained popularity in the selected cAses of bronchogenic carcinoma with poor pulmonary reserve, and also has been a choice of treatment for obstructive bronchial diseases since it can cure patient completely with preservation of pulmonary function. From Apr. 1990 to hpr. 19'96 two methods of bronchoplastic procedures, d patch dilating bronchoplasty and a segmental bronchial resection with end-to-end anastomosis, were performed with or without concominant pulmonary resection in 13 patients with benign bronchial stenosis and obstruction. The patients were 8 men and 5 women with average age of 43years(range 19 to 64 years). Patch dilating bronchoplasty using autogenous perichondrium and pericardium was applied in 5 cases of bronchial stenosis. Antecedan diseases of bronchial stenosls were 3 inflammatory bronchiectas is, and 2 endobronchial tuberculose is mixed with bronchi,ectas is. Segmental bronchial resection with end-to-end anastomosis was applied in 8 cases of bronchial obstruction, which were caused by endobronchial tuberculosis in 6 and cicatrization after trauma and foreign body in one case each. Bronchial obstructive symptoms and signs including recurrent pulmonary infection, dyspnea and wheezing were disappeared postoperatively with satisfactory recovery of physical activity. There was no operative mortality. Morbidity occured in 2 patients which were one case of unstability of applied bronchial patch resulting atelectasis and one case of bronchial restenosis at the anastomotic site. Based upon our experiences, we conclude that bronchoplastic procedure can be done with great success in patients with lung atelectasis caused by bronchial obstruction or stenosis and it restores physiologic function of collapsed lung with acc ptable complication.
