A Siemens HD-270 MLC$^{TM}$, a virtual-micro MLC, allows to the application of a smooth field edge method due to the finite leaf-width of MLC. This technique was implemented into a Pinnacle planning system in order to evaluate the dose distributions during the planning stage. The necessary dosimetric aspects, such as undulation and effective penumbra, were investigated with variations in the resolutions of a virtual-micro MLC and field edge angle. The positional accuracy of the couch movement was also assessed for clinical implementation. The overhead time for planning and treatment was confirmed as negligible.e.

"Uirimchwaryo(醫林撮要)" is a medical book that takes a model of written in the middle of Chosun dynasty. In the contents side, it seems to unite a korea medicine with the Geum-Won Dynasty(金元時代) in ancient china. we can think much of the value that it combines theory with experience, choosing the merits of "Uibangyuchwi(醫方類聚)" which were the masterpieces of the first half of Chosun Dynasty and it increased a practical use to choose easily prescription in the clinic. This book which was proofread and published by imperial physician Yang Yaesoo(楊禮壽, ? ~ 1597) is not exist. In this condition, existing print type is added by scholars only after "Donguibogam(東醫寶鑑)" was compiled. When the academic conference was held in last year, I introduced a new founded book in japan's possession that printed in Chosun dynasty. Moreover I survey more documents and investigate a few old printed books that are handed down to Chosun and Japan. In addition, I will present that had done interchanges between the ancient nations in par-eastern asia, especially to have done by diplomatic mission. We can evaluate the value and effect of "Uirimchwaryo" in Chosun dynasty of medical history.

Objectives: Horse trainers ensure the horses they are training and monitor horse's health, hygiene. While most of the studies on horse trainer's health focused on musculoskeletal disorders, few studies have examined the health effect of occupational exposure. This study aimed to investigate the risk of lung cancer in Korean Horse trainers. Methods: Among the largest health screening program of health screening service of the National Health Insurance Corporation, 2,246 workers were selected for study. We utilized data from the National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) National Cohort Data Base 2005-2017. We performed analyses using a Cox's proportional hazards model to identify the risk of lung cancer in Horse trainers. Results: This study found that the horse trainers group had a higher risk of lung cancer 10.07 (95% CI :2.38-42.64) compared to other occupational group. Additionally, there was 6.5 times higher risk of lung cancer in non-smoker horse trainers group. Conclusions: We, thus, verified horse trainers could have relation with increase of lung cancer risk. As lung cancer is known as a cancer with a high contribution of occupational factors compared to other cancers, it is necessary to determine the efficacy of continuous attention and active management of occupational exposure.

The oriental medicine based on the traditional chinese medicine has developed according to the historical and racial character respectively in China, Korea and Japan etcs. Particularly, the distinctive feature of Korea & Japan is characterized by the development of constitutional medicine compared with chinese medicine; Sasang Medicine of Korea and Ikkando Medicine of Japan. The constitutional medicines were so far developed by many clinical doctors, and in recent years much interest has centered on the application of these medicines in regarding originality, easiness and effectiveness etcs in treatment. Thus far only few attempts have been made at Ikkando medicine in Korea, what seems to be lacking, however, is practical application in clinic. Thus authors intend to help the clinical application by introducing Ikkando medicine to Korea oriental medicine through this paper. The Ikkando medicine was established by Dohaku Mori(1869~1931) and was known through the "Kampo Ikkando Medincine" which was published by his disciple, Kaku Yakazu(1893~1966), classified human beings into three types; type of blood stasis, type of stroke and type of allergy. The type of blood stasis may be responsible for factors which have occurred by a state of insufficient bleed circulation and blood stasis causing lesione of endothelial cells, and Tongdosan is mainly administrated. The predisposing factor of stroke's type is known as the excessive diet, and the prevalence of cerebrovascular accident is probably higher. In this type, it is likely that patients are prevented and cured with Bangpungtongsunsan. Allergy's type have three distinct types of childhood, adolescence and adult as to the age. Allergy's type of childhood predisposes patients such as these to upper respiratory infection and tuberculosis etcs, and Sihocheonggansan is frequently administrated. Allergy's type of adolescence has a tendency to rhinitis and infection of face legion etcs, and Heunggyeyeoungyotang is mainly administrated. Allergy's type of adult is subject to urogenital infection, and is more commonly treated with Yongdamsagantang. Judging from the above, we can say with fair certainty that Ikkando Medicine has considerable validity to clinical practice, though it should not be pushed too far.

본 연구는 질병별사망율연구(疾病別死亡率硏究)의 이론적 기초를 제시하고 일본 선진보험사의 질병별사망율연구(疾病別死亡率硏究)의 경험을 고찰하고 국내 보험사들의 질병사망율연관데이터의 현황분석을 통해 향후 질병별사망율연구(疾病別死亡率硏究)의 결과를 얻기 위해 현재 보험사들이 전사적으로 준비하여야 할 것에 대해 제언을 하고자 한다. 사망률연구(mortality study)란 인구통계학적 개념을 기본으로 하여 역학적 연구방법의 하나인 코호트방법과 생존분석방법을 결합하여 인구집단(또는 피보험자 집단)을 대상으로 대량의 자료를 장기적으로 관찰하여 그 사망의 빈도와 분포를 기술하고 사망연관지수들을 알아내어 생명보험사업에 있어서 위험선택기술을 향상시키는 것이다. 초과사망을 및 사망비 산출의 실제를 생명표 방법론과 급성심근 경색증 환자의 생존 분석을 통해 알아본다. 생명표 방법론을 이용한 생존 분석방법이란 의학저널에서 발표된 논문을 사망률표로 변경하기 위한 필수적인 단계에 대한 것이다 관찰된 생존 곡선을 생명표 작성법의 한 방법인 비교 경험 사망률로 바꾸는데 초점을 두었다. 일본생명(日本生命)의 경우, 일본 협영생명(協塋生命)의 경우, 일본사망율조사(MA)위원회 생명보험사망을 연구고서등을 통해 질병별사망율연구(疾病別死亡率硏究)를 살펴 보았다. 일본은 질병별사망율(疾病別死亡率)을 구하기 위해서 1950년대 이후부터 체계적으로 자료를 모으고 축적, 분석하여 지속성을 유지하였다. 또한 일본MA위원회의 경우처럼 보험의학의사, 계리, 통계, 전산부서로 구성된 전담위원회의 통일된 협조가 질병별사망율연구(疾病別死亡率硏究)를 가능하게 하였다. 그리고 의학적인 관점에서 볼 때 일본보험의학계는 일본만의 독특한 질병분류로 분석하여 온 것이 특이하다. 질병별사망율연구(疾病別死亡率硏究)에 대해서는 모두가 필요성을 인정하면서도 구체적인 대비책은 없는 것이 우리나라 보험업계의 실정이다. 이러한 현실의 직접적인 이유는 질병별사망율연구(疾病別死亡率硏究)라는 것이 그 특성상 중장기적인 계획이며 많은 전문인력의 통합되고 집중된 노력이 요구되기 때문이다. 우리도 "생명보험사사망율연구위원회(Life Insurance Mortality Committee" (가칭)를 설치하고 장기적인 계획안을 먼저 만드는 것이 선행되어야 할 것이다. 지금부터 질병별사망율(疾病別死亡率) 데이터를 축적하고 매 5년 또는 매 10년마다 데이터를 분석한다면 질병별사망율(疾病別死亡率)에 대해 고유의 기술을 습득하는 것이 그리 먼 미래의 일만은 아닐 것이다.

Over the years Korean health care system has improved in delivery of quality care to the general population for many areas of the health problems. The system is now being recognized in the world as the most cost effective one. It is covered by the uniform national health insurance policy for which most people in Korea are mandatory policy holders. Genetic counseling service, however, which is well recognized as an integral part of clinical genetics service deals with diagnosis and management of genetic condition as well as genetic information presentation and family support, is yet to be delivered in comprehensive way for the patients and families in need. Two major obstacles in providing genetic counseling service in korean health care system are identified; One is the lack of recognition for the need for genetic counseling service as necessary service by the national health insurance. Genetic counseling consumes a significant time in delivery and the current very low-fee schedule for physician service makes it very difficult to provide meaningful service. Second is the critical shortage of qualified professionals in the field of medical genetics and genetic counseling who can provide the service of genetic counseling in clinical setting. However, recognition and understanding of the fact that the scope and role of genetic counseling is expanding in post genomic era of personalized medicine for delivery of quality health care, will lead to the efforts to overcome obstacles in providing genetic counseling service in korean health care system. Only concerted efforts from health care policy makers of government on clinical genetics service and genetic counseling for establishing adequate reimbursement coverage and professional communities for developing educational program and certification process for professional genetic counselors, are necessary for the delivery of much needed clinical genetic counseling service in Korea.
