품질보증 활동은 제품의 품질등급을 그 규격기준에 따라 규정하고, 발주자가 지정하는 품질의 제품을 실현하는 것이지만, 압력용기 등의 특정 제품에 대해서는 공적인 제3자가 기관에 의한 검사 인증제도가 요구되는 경우가 있다. 미국에서는 압력용기 등의 규격체계는 민간 Base의 ASME Code를 중심으로 하고, 운용에 있어서의 품질보증제도는 ASME Stamp에 의한 제작공장 인증과 적검사기관을 대행하는 보험회사와의 협조에 의한 개별제품인증이 행해진다. 소위 체제 지향의 품질 관리방식을 채택하고 있다. 미국 외의 구라파제국의 이와는 상대적으로 제품지향의 제품질관리를 하였다고 할 수가 있다. 그러나 87년에 제정되어 세계적으로 확산되고 있는 ISO-9000 시리즈는 미국식의 체제지향의 품질관리로서 양자간 접근방식이 대동소이하다. 그러므로 ASME Code의 품질관리에 대하여 그 본질과 구조 및 활동 내역 등을 고찰해 보는 것은 품질관리의 시대적 조류 파악에 도움이 될 것이다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is comparison of clinical outcomes in ACL reconstruction between auto-hamstring tendon and allo-tibialis anterior tendon. Materials and Methods: In this prospective study, we included 60 subjects who underwent ACL reconstruction using 30 hamstring autograft(mainly, national health insurance) and 30 tibialis anterior allograft(including MVA and industrial injuries) between May 2003 and June 2005 by a single surgeon, with a minimum follow-up of 12 months. Outcome measurements were the range of motion, the Lachman test, the IKDC score, the Lysholm score, KT-1000 arthrometer and one-leg hop test. Results: For all the cases, the range of motion was above 135 degrees. The Lachman test, KT-1000 arthrometer and one-leg hop test showed no significant difference between two groups. The IKDC score of auto-hamstring group($87.840{\pm}2.106$) was significantly higher than that of allo-tibialis anterior group($85.273{\pm}2.782$). The Lysholm score of auto-hamstring group($88.067{\pm}2.586$) was also significantly higher than that of allo-tibialis anterior group($85.300{\pm}3.030$). Conclusion: The results of ACL reconstruction using the auto-hamstring tendon and allo-tibialis anterior tendon showed no significant difference in objective items but auto-hamstring group showed better results in subjective scoring. This difference may result from individual factors such as economic problem, secondary gain.

The Korean Pharmacist Law has limited the sales of medicine to pharmacies. This has caused difficulty in purchasing medicine late at night or on holidays, which has limited the range of customers' selections and accelerated customers' discomfort, accordingly. Also, the rapid progress of aging has quickly boosted medical expenses for seniors, and has served as a factor that aggravates the budget of national medical insurance. Meanwhile, advanced countries, including the USA and Japan, have allowed the sales of general medicine, of which the safety and efficacy have been tested, in general retail stores such as convenience stores or super markets from the perspective of supporting self-medication. In particular, Japan, which has a strong tendency of pursuing safety in the world, diversified sales channels for general medicine in order to control quickly rising medical expenses. As a result, Japan has achieved the effect of easing various regulations as follows in the economic and social fields. First, the increasing distribution channels of general medicine from pharmacies to general retail stores provoked a potential demand, which also expanded related markets. Second, the competition between sales channels resulted in the reduction of the price of medicine. Third, the growing sales channels of medicine have extended the options of consumers and, subsequently, the convenience in the use of consumers has increased. Fourth, the creation of a competitive environment owing to the diversification of sales channels has accelerated an effort to enhance corporate competitiveness. Fifth, the foundation of enhancing the financial soundness of medical expenses has been prepared through the formation of a self-medication environment. In 2000, the Korean population aged 65 or over exceeded 7%, and it is anticipated to be over 14% by 2018; thus, the increase of national medical expenses will be sped up. As a way of being prepared for the era of aging, we, just as other advanced countries, need to create a self-treatment environment by diversifying the sellers of general medicine, and, thus, reduce spending on personal medical expenses, enhance the financial soundness of national medical insurance, and, further, promote the welfare of consumers.

The purpose of this paper is to review the meaning of extended application of workers' compensation for artists. This study explains by giving specific two examples. The first case is about broadcasting extra who is permitted to receive compensation from Korea Workers' Compensation & Welfare Service without filing a suit. Whereas, The second case is about musical stage crew who is not permitted to obtain compensation for accident during work. The reason why he could not receive compensation is not because he is regarded as worker, but because he is regarded as individual businessman. Extended application of workers' compensation for artists could be a double-edged sword for workers through two cases. Firstly, Broadcasting extras could become much easier to receive workers' compensation according to precedent. Secondly, It is more difficult to get the workers' compensation by the reason of not applying for workers' compensation admission like the second case, even though the second case of forms of employment is similar to that of the first. In other words, New compensation development could generate another obstacles to enter compensation systems. Extended application of workers' compensation should be operated with covering artists' compensation case by case.
