Objectives : Recently in the field of medical education, the study of narrative has been gaining much attention. This study examines the Huangdineijing in terms of narrative studies. Methods : The chapter Shanggutianzhenlun, which is narratively sound in its composition, and the chapter Siqidiaoshendalun, whose narrative structure is simple but composed in a way that is difficult to understand were studied. Results : The narrative structure of Shanggutianzhenlun is interrogatory with a main character, making it appropriate for narrative study. However, the Siqidiaoshendalun arranges its content rather simply. Conclusions : The Shanggutianzhenlun needs to be converted into appropriate narrative terminology, while the Siqidiaoshendalun needs narrative supplementation using methods such as visual thinking and mind mapping.

Purpose: This paper was aimed to inquire into Ricoeur's self -hermeneutics and narrative ethics, and apply it to personal identity constituting caring and care ethics in the practice of nursing. Its purpose is to provide a philosophical foundation for caring in nursing. Method: According to Ricoeur's narrative identity, ontological caring was interpreted as personal identity constituting caring. His ethics were described as care ethics, which contributed to preserving and promoting the personal dignity of the client, as self in search for the good life in the nursing practice. Results: Narrative understanding of the client pointed to the ontological role of care in the constitution of personal identity. From an ethical aspect of the narrative, respect for personal identity and personal dignity of the client was crucial to an ethical caring attitude, promoting self-esteem in the nursing practice. Conclusion: This paper suggested that Ricoeur's ethics could provide a philosophical basis for understanding ontological and ethical caring in nursing. This contributed to protection of the client from the threat of personal identity, as well as respecting their personal dignity.

The aim of modern medicine is to prolong life by fighting death. Doctors have traditionally believed that this was an ethical good deed. The negative connotation surrounding death has led to the avoidance of terminally ill patients. But in a modern society where death is medicalized, doctors have to see dying patients every day and are in a state of guilt from implementing meaningless life-sustaining treatments. Therefore, medical schools should allow medical students to embrace a new perspective through death education. Yonsei University Medical College has implemented death education since 2017 as an optional class for first and second year medical students. Students watch videos related to death once a week for 6 weeks and submit their reflections by e-mail. The professor reads the students' reflections and gives them weekly feedback. Through this coursework, students realize that death is not a medical event, but rather a part of life and completion. The ultimate purpose of death education is to transform blind life-absolutist identity into narrative identity.

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are among the most serious complications of diabetes and are a source of reduced quality of life and financial burden for the people involved. For effective DFU management, an evidence-based treatment strategy that considers the patient's clinical context and wound condition is required. This treatment strategy should include conventional practices (surgical debridement, antibiotics, vascular assessment, offloading, and amputation) coordinated by interdisciplinary DFU experts. In addition, several adjuvant therapies can be considered for nonhealing wounds. In this narrative review, we aim to highlight the current trends in DFU management and review the up-to-date guidelines.

본 논문은 먼저 펠레그리노의 <의철학의 재탄생>에서 강조하는 현대적 의료 윤리의 가치 변화를 고찰하였다. 펠레그리노는 의료인의 윤리에 대한 인문학적 성찰을 강조해온 철학자이다. 그는 현대 사회의 변화에 따라 의료 윤리도 재정립되어야 한다고 주장한다. 이 논문은 펠레그리노의 주장을 바탕으로, 문학과 대중서사텍스트 속에서 문제적 상황을 주목하였다. 실제로 우리를 위해 의료 윤리가 무엇을 답변해야 하는지를 살펴보려 한 것이다. 의료인들은 철학적 딜레마를 겪거나 현실과 윤리 사이의 갈등을 겪어 왔다. 펠레그리노는 의료인은 질병과의 싸움에 앞서, 환자와의 상호작용을 통해 환자의 고통에 공감하고 그 요구에 응답해야 한다고 주장한다. 이것은 매우 당위적인 선언처럼 보이지만, 문학 작품과 대중서사텍스트 속의 의료인들은 이러한 윤리적 딜레마에 자주 노출된다. 이청준의 소설을 통해 의료인이 환자를 어떻게 '좋음'의 상태로 이끌어야하는 지를 성찰할 수 있으며, 메디컬 드라마들을 통해 대중들이 의료인에게 요구하는 윤리적 행위가 무엇인지를 포착할 수 있다. 코로나19로 전세계가 고통을 받고 있는 지금, 의료인들 또한 큰 고난에 처해 있지만, 동시에 대중의 존경을 받고 윤리적 존재로서의 가치를 높이고 있기도 하다. 의료가 일상의 서사가 된 지금, 우리에게 의료 윤리는 삶을 유지하기 위한 필요조건이 되고 있다. 본 논문을 통해, 의료 윤리의 중요성을 다시 인식하고, 의료 서사 속에서 구체화된 윤리적 문제를 성찰적으로 검토하는 의미를 얻을 수 있을 것이다.

This narrative review describes genomic characteristic, serotyping, immunogenicity, and vaccine development of Streptococcus pneumoniae capsular polysaccharide (CPS). CPS is a primary virulence factor of S. pneumoniae. The genomic characteristics of S. pneumoniae CPS, including the role of biosynthetic gene and genetic variation within cps (capsule polysaccharide) locus which may lead to serotype replacement are still being investigated. One hundred unique serotypes of S. pneumoniae have been identified through various methods of serotyping using phenotypic and genotypic approach. The advantages and limitations of each method are various, emphasizing the need for accurate and comprehensive serotyping for effective disease surveillance and vaccine targeting. In addition, we elaborate the critical role of CPS in vaccine development by providing an overview of immunogenicity, ongoing research of pneumococcal vaccines, and the impact on disease burden.
