  • 세계적인 인구 고령화와 생활수준의 향상에 따른 국민들의 건강에 대한 관심이 커지면서 최근 전자의료기기의 시장도 증대되고 있다. 수지형체외식초음파프로브는 허가 신청 건수가 높은 다빈도 허가 심사 대상 의료기기이며 최근 병원 등의 임상분야에서 그 활용도가 높다. 하지만, 수지형체외식초음파프로브의 성능 평가를 위한 국내 기준은 명확하게 마련되지 않은 실정이고, 허가심사 및 품질평가 등을 위한 가이드라인 조차 마련되어 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 수지형체외식초음파프로브의 특성, 허가 및 시장현황을 조사하고, 관련 국내 외 규격을 검토하여 성능평가 시험항목, 기준 및 방법을 도출하였으며, 시험검증을 통하여 최종적으로 국제조화되고 국내 실정에 적합한 성능 평가 가이드라인을 마련하였다. 향후 본 연구결과를 의료기기 관련 업체에서 활용함으로써 수지형체 외식초음파프로브의 품질 및 성능 향상을 도모하고, 허가를 위한 심사 평가의 일관성을 확보할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • This paper evaluated the relative efficiency of 33 provincial medical centers using Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA) and compared the DEA efficiency results with those of the current method conducted by the management evaluation team. DEA Was selected as an alternative efficiency evaluation method since it could handle multiple inputs and multiple outputs simultaneously and identify the sources of inefficiency. To analyze the sensitivity of productivity values to the variable sets, four different sets of input and output variables were identified. Results showed that most of the medical centers are operating far away from the efficiency frontier supporting the previous results. Some centers showed 100% efficiency regardless of the selected variable sets. DEA results are compared with current management evaluation results. Some inconsistencies were found for some DMUs between the results of two methods showing the existence of methodology bias. DEA results and ratio analyses results mostly agree for 1992 data.

  • As Industrialization gets more and more advanced, human technological medical apparatus for dentistry has been developed. Such a medical apparatus have to let precision revolution and torque control facilitate. Consequently, Development of Micro hand-piece with strong durability should be required. Moreover, It's also very important to evaluate performance of such a Micro hand-piece, Evaluation of Mechanical property of Material and ANOVA have been known as useful methods in the field of Quality Evaluation. For Verification of Quality Evaluation, It has been evaluated by One-way layout ANOVA based on the data of Surface Roughness Test. Anyhow, This test has been respectively carried out by 3 kinds of Test and Superior performance has appeared in the Test result.

  • The goal of this study is to present efficient measures to improve the quality of medical education through using a developed and applied continuous quality improvement (CQI) model suitable for medical education. To achieve this purpose, we developed a theoretical CQI model through a review of the literature according to the design-based research method. Through repetitive productive cyclical processes and professional reviews, we finally deduced an appropriate CQI model for medical education. The most important results of this study are as follows: First, the CQI model for medical education is defined as a quality management system with a cyclical course of planning, implementation, evaluation, and improvement of medical education. Second, the CQI model for medical education is composed of quality management activities of educational design, work, and evaluation. In addition, each activity has the implementation strategies of planning, doing, checking, and improving based on the PDCA model (Plan-Do-Check-Act model). Third, the CQI model for medical school education is composed of committees related to medical education doing improvement activities, as well as planning, implementing and evaluating it with CQI. As a result, we can improve teaching by using the CQI model for medical education. It is more meaningful because this gives us organized and practical measures of quality management and improvement in medical education as well as in the educational process.

  • The precise diagnosis of the acute toxoplasmosis in pregnant women and immunocompromsied patients has critical importance. Most of the commercially available assays use the whole Toxoplasma soluble extract as the antigen. However, the assays currently available for the detection of specific anti-Toxoplasma antibodies may vary in their abilities to detect serum immunoglobulins, due to the lack of a purified standardized antigen. The aim of this study was production and evaluation of the usefulness of the recombinant Toxoplasma gondii GRA7 antigen for the serodiagnosis of Toxoplasma gondii IgM and IgG by ELISA. A total of 70 T. gondii IgM positive sera, 74 T. gondii IgG positive sera, and 60 sera from subjects who were not infected with T. gondii were examined. These sera were shown different absorbance values in ELISA test. To control the specificity of the rGRA7 other parasitic diseases, for example, echinococcosis, malaria, leishmaniasis, fascioliasis, and strongyloidiasis were tested of which none showed positive results. Sensitivity and specificity of the generated recombinant IgG ELISA in comparison with commercial ELISA (com ELISA) were 89% and 90%, and the sensitivity and specificity of the generated recombinant IgM ELISA were 96% and 90%, respectively. The results obtained here show that this antigen is useful for diagnostic purposes.
