북한의 의료법규는 '헌법'을 정점으로 크게 '인민보건법'과 '의료법'으로 구성되어 있다. 인민보건법이 제정되기 이전에도 다수의 의료관계법규가 존재하고 있었으나, 그 의료관계법규가 이후 어떻게 개정되었으며, 현재에도 유효한지 여부는 알 수 없다. 1980년 제정된 인민보건법은 북한의 보건의료에 대한 기본원칙과 방침을 선언하고 있다. 1997년 제정된 의료법은 북한 의료의 기본법으로서, 북한 의료의 목표와 기본원칙을 제시하고, 이어서 '검진과 진단', '환자치료', '의료감정'에 관한 기본적인 내용을 규정하고 있다. 북한 의료법은 남한에 비해 상당히 늦게 제정되었을 뿐만 아니라, 조문의 수가 적고 추상적이거나 선언적인 내용이 많다. 특히, 북한 의료법에는 의료인의 종류나 자격요건, 의료기관의 종류와 개설요건 등에 관한 규정이 전혀 없어, 북한 의료법만을 가지고는 북한 의료체계를 한꺼번에 파악하기 어렵다. 북한 의료법상 진료에 관한 내용은 남한 의료법과 유사한 부분이 많지만, 신의학과 고려의학을 배합하고 고려의학적방법과 자연요법을 환자진료에 널리 사용하도록 한 규정, 진단내용이 환자치료에 나쁜 영향을 줄 수 있는 경우 환자 보호자에게만 알려주도록 한 부분 등은 남한 의료법과 차이가 있다.

Background: Workplace violence (WPV) is becoming an issue that needs immediate attention in the United States, especially during this period as more states are adopting the "stand your ground laws to promote worker protection." This study was conducted to investigate how WPV has contributed to an unsafe environment for nurses and nursing assistants who work in long-term medical care facilities. Methods: A structure questionnaire was used to collect data for the study. Three facilities were sampled and 80 nurses and certified nursing assistants participated in the study. Ninety-two percent (n = 74) were female and 8% (n = 6) were male. Approximately 62% were black or African American, approximately 33% were Caucasians, and only 2% were from other ethnicities. Results: We found that 65% of the participants had experienced WPV while 41% believed that management shows little or no concern for their safety. Approximately 23% of respondents believed that reporting supervisor's WPV act is an unsafe action. In addition, 22% of those who reported that they have experienced WPV believed that the work environment is not safe to perform their duties. This significant difference in perception of workplace safety between those who had experienced WPV and those who had not was significant (t = 3.95, df = 158, p < 0.0001). Conclusion: WPV is an epidemic problem that affects all health-care professionals. The findings of this study could help long-term medical care facilities' management identify the areas to focus on mitigating, controlling, and/or eliminating incidents of WPV.

The dental care delivery system and the dental specialty system have a very close relationship each other. Compared to Korea. Western European countries with predominant public sector in dental service have recognized merely 2 or 3 dental specialties, while North American countries with predominant private sector, 8 or 9 ones. It is desirable to adopt the dental specialty system as soon as possible in Korea to encourage scientific development in various dental specialties and qualitative advance in dental service. We, however, have to establish equitable dental care delivery system which can use limited dental resources efficiently as follows. 1. clarifying the different roles in assignments between general dentists and specialists by the amendment of the related laws such as the Medical Act and establishing the organic patient-referral system. 2. adopting the dental specialty system and expanding personnel and equipments so that the dental college hospitals, especially dental divisions of general hospitals, night function as secondary care facilities with specialties. 3. determining the size of dental specialists according to the national needs for dental specialized service's, whose number is to be not more than 10% of the total dentists. 4. transferring the function of accredating dental specialists to the efficient, self-controlled professional organization such as the Korean Dental Association rather than putting it under the governmental control. 5. conducting a comprehensive review of specialty education and practice for re-recognition, and maintaining competence of specialists by re-accredating them periodically. I expect this article to contribute to further discussion about the dental specialty system in Korea in productive and practical way. I am sure that we can Establish this system in the near future when people in every walks of life-the academic circle, the press, the authority concerned, consumer groups and the Korean Dental Association-take part in the discussion with special concern.

이 연구의 목적은 대순진리회 해원상생에 내포된 인권 요소를 중심으로 북한헌법의 자체적 인권과 북한 주민의 인권 실상에 대해 고찰하는 것이다. 해원상생은 선천의 상극적 자연법에 지배된 인간의 원한을 해소하고 인간 서로서로 잘되게 해주는 의미를 가진 새로운 자연법이다. 해원상생의 자연법에는 인간 존엄의 가치인 생명권, 자유의사에 따라 결정하고 말하며 행동할 수 있는 자유권(신체의 자유, 양심의 자유, 종교의 자유, 언론의 자유, 출판의 자유), 사회적 환경에서 평등한 대우를 받을 권리인 평등권, 치료를 통해 최고 수준의 건강을 확보할 권리인 건강권이 내포되어 있다. 북한헌법에는 헌법의 근본원리인 천부적 인권을 보장하기 위한 제도적 장치로서의 성격이 없고, 독재자와 독재체제를 옹호하고 주체사상을 완성하기 위한 혁명 전사의 권리를 규정하고 있다. 생명권은 사회정치적 생명론에 따라 개인의 생명이 집단의 생명에 귀속되도록 명시되어 있다. 자유권은 집단주의 원칙에 따라 개인의 이익보다 집단의 이익을 더 우선시하도록 명시되어 있다. 평등권과 건강권은 계급적 차별을 명시하여 차별적 대우를 정당화시켰다. 북한 주민의 생명권은 북한형법과 형법부칙의 사형제도로 인해 보장받지 못하고 있다. 북한 정권은 공개처형을 통해 북한 주민이 인간으로서 존엄하게 죽을 수 있는 권리까지 박탈하고 있다. 북한 정권은 노동당의 지시로 적법절차가 이루어지게 하고, 종교를 미신 또는 아편으로 인식하며, 노동당이 언론과 출판물을 감시하게 하여 신체·종교·언론·출판의 자유를 보장하지 않는다. 북한 주민은 신분에 따라 분류되고, 가부장적 질서에 따라 전근대적 생활방식을 강요받으며, 평등권을 보장받지 못하고 있다. 또한 의료분야 가용성·접근성의 양극화와 무상치료제의 붕괴로 건강권을 보장받지 못하고 있다.

In aquatic invertebrates, particularly marine gastropods, organotin compounds induce irreversible sexual abnormality in females, which is termed imposex, at very low concentrations. Organotin compounds are agonists for nuclear receptors such as RXRs and $PPAR{\gamma}$. However, the imposex phenomenon has not been reported to act as an antagonist on estrogen receptors in other species, including vertebrates and invertebrates. In order to gain insights into the antagonistic activity of organotin compounds on estrogen receptors (ERs), we examined the inhibitive effect of these compounds on estradiol-dependent ${\beta}$-galactosidase activity using the yeast two-hybrid detection system consisting of a combination of the human estrogen receptor ($hER{\beta}$) ligand-binding domain and the co-activator steroid receptor co-activator-1 (SRC1). Tributyltin-hydroxide (TBT-OH) and triphenyltin-chlorine (TPT-Cl) exhibited an inhibitive effect on $E_2$-dependent transcriptional activity, similar to antagonistic chemicals such as 4-hydroxytamoxifen (OHT) or ICI 182,780, at a very low concentration of $10^{-14}$ M TBT or $10^{-10}$ M TPT, respectively. The yeast growth and transcriptional activity with transcriptional factor GAL4 did not exhibit any effect at the tested concentration of TBT or TPT. Moreover, the yeast two-hybrid system using the interaction between p53 and the T antigen of SV40 large did not describe any effect at the tested concentration of OHT or ICI 182,780. However, the interaction between p53 and T antigen was inhibited at a TBT or TPT concentration of $10^{-9}$ M, respectively. These results indicate that TBT and TPT act as inhibitors of ER-dependent reporter gene transcriptional activation and of the interaction between $hER{\beta}$ LBD and the co-activator SRC1 in the yeast two-hybrid system. Consequently, our data could partly explain the occurrence of organotin compound-induced imposex on the endocrine system of mammals, including humans.

Sling exercises therapy can speak as appliable comprehensive exercises therapy technique efficiently in general exercise field for injured worker's rehabilitation process and health improvement patient or athlete, injury or disease that have pain or dysfunction to neuromuscular system using that shake. At 1990 an early stage, because physical therapist and doctors of medical treatment developed country norway of north europe cooperate sling exercises therapy's concept trend spreading worldwide establishing theory newly based on scientific basic be. Musculoskeletal system, old man and young child's nervous system injurer's treatment and exercise and industry worker's rehabilitation process, athlete's rehabilitation etc. several fields introduced in early 2000s to Korea apply. Sling exercises therapy neuromuscular system disease continuous abatement as general concept of active exercise and treatment that use sling exercises equipment by purpose know can. This review article wishes to introduce about neuromuscular activation, "Neurac" technique that can speak as step developed more concept based on application principle etc, of basic sling exercises effort's change by suspension point's change that is concept, stability exercises principle, open kinetic chain exercises and closed kinetic chain exercises. Arranged about Plateau potential's characteristic and working mechanism and Neurac technique's application method that can say as Neurac technique's neuro-physiologic base, and presented treatment method of lumbar part disease and cervical part, shoulder joint part disease to application example. Because plateau potential forward player that induce using Neurac technique in part muscles that act role that keep spine surrounding stability in this article keeps muscle's contraction continuously, between global and local muscles, presented several study findings that can cause affirmative change in insufficient muscle adjustment state such as imbalance of muscles' action order. Expect that case studies that use this Neurac technique here after consist continuously.
