목 적 : 두경부암의 양성자 치료 시 BoS frame ($Q-fix^{TM}$)을 사용하면 후사방향의 빔 조사 시 couch 와 snout 사이 충돌을 피하면서 Airgap 을 최소화할 수 있다. 이는 couch 에서 BoS frame 을 얼마나 많이 extended 시켰는지가 각 치료 빔 방향의 Airgap (환자와 빔 사출구 거리)을 결정하기 때문이다. 이에 본원에서는 BoS frame의 제한점을 개선하기 위하여 고정장치를 자체 제작하였고, 제작한 고정장치의 유용성을 본 연구를 통해 선량학적으로 평가하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : 본원에서 양성자치료를 받은 Brain Cancer환자 3명의 빔 각도 중 후사방향의 빔 6개를 선택하였다. 현재 치료계획 되어 있는 환자를 기존 방식대로 BoS frame만 사용했을 때 각 환자마다 왼쪽후사방향, 오른쪽 후사방향의 빔에서 충돌을 피할 수 있는 snout 위치를 측정하고 이 위치에 따른 Airgap과 Lateral penumbra 영역을 계산하고 DVH값을 분석하였다. 같은 환자의 동일한 빔에서 자체 제작한 BoS frame 고정장치를 사용하여 제조회사에서 권고한 set-up 사항보다 BoS frame을 21 cm superior방향으로 set-up을 진행하였고, 그 후 충돌을 피할 수 있는 snout위치를 측정하고 이 위치에서 Airgap과 Lateral penumbra영역을 계산하고 DVH값을 분석하였다. 결 과 : 자체 제작 BoS frame 고정장치를 사용함에 따라 사용하지 않았을 때 보다 snout 위치 즉 Airgap을 각각 각도별로 5.4 cm ~ 15.4 cm 줄일 수 있었다. Lateral penumbra는 BoS frame 고정장치를 사용하면서 Airgap을 감소시킴에 따라 각도별로 선량분포곡선에서 왼쪽, 오른쪽 부분을 0.1 cm ~ 0.4 cm 감소시킬 수 있었다. 자체 제작한 BoS frame 고정장치 사용함으로써 감소한 Lateral penumbra에 의해 정상조직에 들어가는 선량을 비교해보면 Lt.eyeball, Lt.lens, Lt.hippocampus, Lt.cochlea, Rt.eyeball, Rt.lens, Rt.cochlea, Rt. hippocampus, stem에 들어가는 선량이 0 CGE ~ 4.4 CGE 감소한 것을 알 수 있었다. 결 론 : 두경부암의 양성자 치료 시 자체제작 BoS frame 고정장치를 사용함에 따라 사용하지 않았을 때보다 후사방향의 빔에서 snout 위치를 감소시킬 수 있었고, Airgap을 줄여 결과적으로 Lateral penumbra를 감소시켜 정상조직에 불필요한 선량을 최소화 할 수 있었다. 이에 본 연구를 통해 자체제작 BoS frame 고정장치의 유용성을 선량학적으로 평가한 결과, 후사방향의 빔을 사용하는 두경부암 환자의 양성자 치료 시 유용하게 사용 될 것으로 기대된다. 마지막으로 두경부암 뿐만 아니라 다른 부위 양성자 치료에서도 Airgap을 최소한 할 수 있는 방법을 고안하여 Lateral penumbra를 줄일 수 있는 지속적인 연구가 필요할 것이라고 사료된다.

According as the automation of clerical work(OA ; Office Automation) develops, the use of VDT(Visual or Video Display Terminal) is increasing suddenly. But, in proportion to the spread of office automation(OA tendency), the self-conciousness syptom attendant upon the work is appearing also (Kim, Jung Tae, Lee, Young Ook, 1990). The apparatuses of office enable the clerical workers to be convenient and perform mass businesses. But, they are increasing the opportunity to be exposed to VDT syndrom, techno stress, computer terminal disease, pain by muscle strain(RSI), bradycausia of noise nature, and electromagnetic waves, etc. which are referred to as the new type of occupational diseases to the workers. It is the real situation that the workers to use VDT is complaining of the physical inconvenience sense in the recent newspaper and literature, it is the point of time that the sydrome to come from VDT use and computer terminal disease, etc. must be classified into the occupational disease(Lee, Kwang Young 1990, Lee, Kyoo Hak 1990, Lee, Won Ho 1991, Lee, Si Young 1991, Lee, Joon 1991, Choi, Young Tae 1991, Heo, Seung Ho 1989). In addition, it is the real situation that the scientifitic study result about the scope that electromagnetic waves has influence on the human body has not been suggested yet, and criticism on the stable exposure permission standard about electromagnetic waves to be emitted from VDT and on the problem in the health about electromagnetic waves is continuing. (IEEE Spectrum, 1990). In addition according to the experience of nursery business of industry field, it is the real situation that the patients who consult complaining of physical and mental inconvenience sence, among the users of apparatus of office automation, are reaching 10% of the patients coming to doctor's room. Therefore, it is necessary to confirm the self-consciousness symptom that the clerical workers complain of multilaterally with the actual state examination about the use of the apparatuses of offices automaton. Thus, this study was tried as th basic data for the cosultation and education for the maintenance and furtherance of the health of workers as the nurse of industry field, by confirming the contents of self-consciousness symptom attendant upon the use of the apparatus for office outomation making the financial institution in which the spparatus for office automation in most frequently used as the subject, and by examining whether there is the difference according to the subject of study, the data were collected, by using the questionnaire method, making 200 workers who consented to the study participation as the subject, among the persons who have spent over 3 months since they used the apparatuses for office automation and didn't receive the treatment in hospital due to the clerical disease for recent 3 years. The period of data collection was from Oct. 9, 1991 to Oct. 12. As for the measurement instrument about the complaint if self-consciousness symptom attendant upon the use of apparatuses fo office automation, the question item on the complaint symptom of health problem attendant upon the treatment of VDT that Kim(1991) developed and on CMI health problem and the question items on the fatigue degree due to industry were used by previous examination to 25 persons. Collected data were analyzed with the statistical method such as percentage, arithmetic mean, Person correlation coeffient, Kai square verfication, t-test, ANOVA, etc. by using SPSS/PC+ program, and the result is as follows : 1. The self-consciousness symptom that the clerical workers complained of most frequetly appeared high in 'My eyes are tired'(99.4%), 'I feel fatigue and weariness'(99.4%), 'I feel that my head is heavy5(90.0%), 'eyesight fell'(88.8%), 'I have a stiff neck'(88.8%), 'I fell pain in the shoulder'(85.0%), 'I feel cold and painful in the eyes'(76.9%), 'I feel the dry sense of eyeball'(76.2%), 'My nerves are edgy, and I an fretful, (75.6%), 'I feel pain in the waist'(73.2%) and 'I fell pain in the back'(72.8%). It emerged that the subject use the apparatuses for office automation complained of self-consciousness symptoms related to visual symptoms and musculoskeletal symptoms. 2. As for the general feature of examination subjects, the result to see the distribution by classifying into sex, age, school career, use career of apparatuses for office automation, skillfulness degree of the use of apparatus for office automation, use hours of the apparatuses for office automation per 1 day, type of business of the apparatus for office automation, rest hours during the use of apparatus for office automation, satifaction degree of business of office automation, and work circumstance, etc. emerged as follows : As for the sex of subjects, the distribution showed that men were 58.8% and women were 41.3%, Age was average 26.9. As the distribution of school career, the distribution showed that4below the graduation of high school' was 58.8%, 'graduation from junior college-university' was 35.0%, and 'over graduate school' was 6.3%. In the question to ask the existence or non-existence of experience of health consultation in connection with the work of office automation, the response that I had the consultation exprience and I feel the necessity emergerd as 90.1% And, the case that the subject who didn't wear the glasses or lens before using the OA apparatus wear glasses or lens after using OA apparatus emerged as 28.3% of whole. As for the existence or non-existence of use career of OA apparatus, the case under 3 years was highest as 52. 7%. As for the skillfulnness degree about the use of apparatus for office automation, most of them are skillful with the fact that 'common' was 44.4%, 'skill' was 42.5%, and 'unskillful' was 13.1% As for the use average hours of the apparatus for office automation per 1 day, the distribution showed that the case under 3-6 hours was 33.1%, the case under 6-9 hours was 28.1%, the case under 3 hours was 30.6%, and the case over 9 hours was 8.1% Main OA business and the use hours for 1 day showed in the order of keeping and retrieval, business of information transmission(162min), business of information transmission(79.3 min), business of document framing(55.5 min), and business of duplication and printing(25.4min). as for the rest during the use of apparatus for affice automation, that I take rest occasion demands the major portion, but that I take after completing the work emerged as 33.8%. Though the subiness gets to be convenient by the use of the apparatus for of office automation, respondents who showed the dissatisfaction about the present OA business emergd high as 78.1%. The work circumstances of each office was good with the fact that the temperature of office was 21.8, noise was average 42.7db, and the illumination was average 364.4 lx, in the light of ANSi/HFS 100 Standard. 3. Sight syptom, musculoskeletal symptom, skin and other symptoms showed the significant difference according to the extent of skillfulness of the apparatus for office automation. All the symptoms exept skin symptom showed the difference according to the use hours of the apparatus for office automation. All the question items exept the sytoms of digestive organs and the rest hours during the apparatus for office automation showed the signicant difference. The question item which showed the signicant difference from the satisfaction degree of present OA business showed the significant difference from all the question item classified into 6 groups. But, age and school career didn't significant difference from the complaint of any self-consciousness symptoms.
