The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) has continuously increased and CRC is a major cause of cancer-related death. Systemic chemotherapy has resulted in a significant improvement in overall survival in metastatic CRC. The development of biologic agents for the treatment of CRC has additionally expanded the options for the treatment. Cetuximab is useful in KRAS wild type tumors in combination with chemotherapy for metastatic disease in both the first and second line settings. It is also used as monotherapy after failure of both irinotecan and oxaliplatin containing regimens. Panitumumab has similar indications, and is primarily used in patients intolerant to cetuximab due to hypersensitivity reactions. Bevacizumab is primarily used as first line and second line therapy in metastatic CRC. However, the optimal way and duration to combine these chemotherapeutic agents are not yet established.

목 적 : 본 연구에서는 기존의 방사선 치료 기법인 3D-CRT 방법을 기반으로 치료 Energy와 Wedge를 변형 시킨 Hybrid 치료계획을 세워, open rectangular field를 사용한 2D-RT와 현재 가장 많이 시행되고 있는 방사선치료의 형태인 3D-CRT, 그리고 Hyrid paln 의 각각의 치료계획에 따른 선량분포, 선량-체적 히스토그램을 이용하여 산출된 값들을 비교, 분석하여 Hybrid 치료계획의 유용성을 평가하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : 본원에서 방사선 치료를 받은 환자 5명을 대상으로 전산화 단층촬영장치(RT-16GE)를 이용해 CT모의치료를 시행하여 영상을 획득하였다. 치료계획실에서는 이미지 관심영역표시는 종양은 CTV으로, 정상장기는 폐, 심장으로 나타냈다. 치료계획은(pinncle-ver 9.2)은 표적에는 충분한 선량을 정상장기에는 선량이 최소화 되도록 치료계획을 세웠다. 결 과 : Homogeneity Index의 선량비교는 2D-RT (open rectangular field): 38.32, TW(conformal wedge field): 32.01 FIF(field in field): 29.22, HYBRID(energy combine, wedge combine): 30.57으로 나타났다. 2D-RT, TW, FIF Hybrid $V_{75_-lung}$은 각각 112.33, 125.14, 121.3, 123.78. $V_{50_-lung}$은 155.43, 159.62, 157.96, 159.06. $V_{25_-lung}$은 199.86, 200.22, 198.65, 200.31. $V_{50_-heart}$는 각각 26.07, 27.1, 26.85, 27.17 $V_{30_-heart}$ 33.71, 34.37, 34.15, 34.65로 나타났다. 결 론 : HYBRID planning에서 표적에는 3D-CRT 에 비해 비교적 뛰어난 선량분포와 유방을 보호함을 보여주지만 폐와 심장에 많은 선량이 조사됨을 치료계획 시 주의해야 하고 앞으로 해결해야 할 과제라 생각된다. HYBRID 으로 Energy를 혼합하여 사용한다면, 타겟에 보다 더 적절한 coverage가 이루어질 수 있을 것으로 보인다. breast 뿐만 아닌 Lung cacner 치료와 같이 불균질한 부위의 치료에 적용한다면 보다 더 최적을 결과를 이루어낼 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Purpose : Stabilization exercise and respiratory muscle training are used to train trunk muscles that affect postural control and respiratory function. However, there have been no studies that combine stabilization exercise and respiratory muscle training. The purpose of this study is to investigate effects of stabilization exercise with and without respiratory muscle training on respiratory function and postural sway. Methods : Fifteen healthy adults were recruited for this experiment. All the subjects performed stabilization exercise with and without respiratory muscle training. For stabilization exercise with respiratory muscle training, the subjects sat on a gym ball wearing a stretch sensor. The subjects inspire maximally as long as possible during lifting one foot off the ground, alternately for 30 seconds. The stretch sensor was placed on both anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS), and the stretch sensor was used to monitor inspiration. For stabilization exercise without respiratory muscle training, the subjects sat on a gym ball and lifted one foot off the ground, without respiratory muscle training. Kinovea program used to investigate postural sway tracking during exercise. The maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximum expiratory pressure (MEP) were measured using a spirometer to investigate changes of respiratory muscle strength before and after exercise. A paired t-test was used to determine significant differences postural sway tracking, MIP, and MEP between stabilization exercise with and without respiratory muscle training. Results : There were significantly lower a distance of postural sway tracking during stabilization exercise with respiratory muscle training, compared with stabilization exercise without respiratory muscle training (p<.05). The MIP and MEP were significantly increased after stabilization exercise with respiratory muscle training compared with before stabilization exercise with respiratory muscle trianing (p<.05). Conclusion : The results of this study suggest that stabilization exercise with repiratory muscle training would be recommended to improve postural control and respiratory muscle strength.

Background : Qigong is an exercise therapy based on the principles of Traditional East Asian Medicine. The exercises combine the practice of motion and breathing, both guided by mental imagery. Beneficial effects of qigong have been reported on a variety of complaints in chronically ill patients and on gait imbalance in the elderly. Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects neurophysiological function, movement abilities, and quality of life. Objectives : We developed a qigong program based on the Traditional East Asian medical theory regarding the improvement of clinical symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Methods and Results : Our qigong program consists of three parts. The first one includes movements which stimulate the meridians that run from the toes to the top of the head. The second one is composed of breathing and qigong movements that create harmony and balance with the circulation of Qi and blood on the Meridians. The third is a stage of finger pressure therapy and massage from Daoyin medical qigong to maintain meridian stability. Conclusions : These qigong program would help relieve the clinical symptoms of Parkinson's disease patients.

Objectives : This study was conducted to introduce the types and contents of books related to acupuncture published in North Korea that can be identified in South Korea, and to understand the general characteristics of North Korean acupuncture. Methods : Firstly, we identified books related to acupuncture in the Information Center on North Korea of the National Library of Korea. Specialized books on treatment interventions such as acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, electrotherapy, and manual therapy including acupressure which stimulate acupoints were included in the study. Two authors reviewed the title, table of contents, and contents of each book in the order of publication year for the searched books. Based on this, the characteristics and trends of North Korean acupuncture were comprehensively examined. Results : The included 18 books were published between 1964 and 2018. One of them was considered a Chinese book translated into Korean and published in China, and another was a North Korean book republished by a South Korean publisher. Except for these, all were published in North Korea, two of which were translations of Chinese books. Most of them were books on the theory and clinical applications of acupuncture, but some of them focused on specific treatment interventions such as auricular acupuncture, fire needling, manual therapy, cupping, or electrotherapy. Also, there was a book about the mechanism of acupuncture analgesia in a neurophysiological way. Conclusions : Since the mid-1960s, North Korea has been steadily attempting to combine acupuncture and Western medicine by applying the disease name and classification system of Western medicine, using modern diagnostic technique, and explaining the mechanism of acupuncture based on the latest research. After the 2000s, the standard international acupuncture nomenclature by World Health Organization was used. In recent years, there has been a tendency to publish and widely disseminate specialized books on non-pharmacological treatment such as cupping, electrotherapy, and fire needling.

Purpose: The purpose of this review was to analyze the effectiveness of complementary and alternative therapies (CAT) as nursing interventions for patients with osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted using the PRISMA statement guidelines. To search for studies related to the effects of CAT applied as nursing care in OA patients, a combination of the keywords 'osteoarthritis,' 'complementary and alternative therapy,' and 'nursing care' were used. Finally, 12 articles retrieved from five electronic databases were included for the analysis. Results: Twelve studies were classified into seven interventions: Tai chi exercise, yoga, qigong, massage. flax seed compress, music, and meditation relaxation, administered by a nurse, and were RCTs. Outcome variables used for pain evaluation were WOMAC and VAS. The duration of interventions varied from 2 to 12 weeks. All twelve interventions had a positive effect on the outcome variables. Conclusion: CAT applied in nursing care for patients with OA significantly reduced pain and improved mobility. When planning a nursing intervention program, it is recommended to combine multiple therapies, considering the duration of effects. In addition, it is recommended to design the study as an RCT to secure the evidence for practical application.
