  • The 3rd Japan-Korea Workshop on Acupuncture and EBM was held at Kanazawa on June $16^{th}$. From Korea team, 4 papers were presented. Dr. Hahn introduced a new approach of data analysis on series of n-of-1 trials using the Bayesian statistics. It offered important information for the future n-of-1 trials. Dr. Park clearly demonstrated the significance of various sham devices proposed and stressed the importance of research questions when we choose the control intervention in RCT. Dr. Lee reported the results of survey in Korean Medical Doctors (KMD) for their point selection and techniques to the distal and local points. Dr. Kim presented the results of face to face survey on the KMD with 28 items for acupuncture treatment on the knee OA. Finally, a draft of protocol was introduced by Dr. Kim. The title was "multi-center, a randomized, single blinded, two arms, parallel-group study to compare the effectiveness and safety of 'individualized acupuncture' and 'standardized minimal acupuncture' in Korean and Japanese patients with knee osteoarthritis (Phase IV)". From Japan team, 7 speakers presented their comments and proposals on the protocol. Dr. Takahashi introduced several issues regarding n-of-1 trials and pointed out the importance of obtaining generalizability from n-of-1 trials. Dr. Shichidou pointed the importance of research design, selection of outcome measures and reduction of biases. Dr. Itoh presented the results of point selection for the knee OA based on the literature survey. Dr. Sumiya introduced several differences between KMD and Japanese acupuncturists based on the questionnaire used in KMD survey. Dr. Furuya demonstrated a result of press tack needle and its sham device on shoulder stiffness. Dr. Yamashita introduced the results of literature survey regarding adverse events occurred by acupuncture on knee OA. Dr.Tsukayama stressed the importance of responsibility of Institutional Review Board (IRB) for the conduction of clinical trials. After several issues were discussed, the need of continued meeting for final protocol development was agreed, then the workshop was closed.

  • 대한민국은 국가경제의 기반을 '해운을 통한 무역'에 두고 있는 '해양국가'이다. 한 나라의 국가경제의 특성을 나타내는 경제지표인 '무역의존도'를 보면 이를 쉽게 알 수 있는데, 세계 은행(IBRD)의 자료의 2008년도 한국의 무역의존도는 83.5%로 일본 28.8%의 약 3배, 중국 68%에 비해서도 현저하게 높은 세계 최고수준이다. 이는 한국의 국가발전 나아가 안보가 무역의 기반이 되는 해양의 안전에 크게 의존하고 있다는 의미로 해석할 수 있다. 반면 최근 소말리아 해적피해와 같은 사례에서 보듯이 한국의 해양안보의 위협이 확대되고 있어 이에 대한 관심과 대책이 절실한 실정이다. 따라서 한국은 해양안보에도 각별한 관심을 가져야 한다. 특히 해양안보위협을 북한의 군사적 위협과 유사한 위협으로 간주하여 전 국민적 관심을 제고하고, 분산된 해양안보관련 기능을 유기적으로 통합할 수 있는 기구를 설치하여야 하며 국제적인 해양안보활동에도 적극 참여하여 국가의 해양안보를 확고히 보장함으로써 한국의 지속적인 번영을 도모하여야 한다.

  • 일반적으로 터널이 풍화암, 파쇄대 또는 토사 구간을 관통할 경우, 터널의 구조적 안정을 확보할 목적으로 그라우팅으로 지반을 보강한 후에 터널 굴착을 하게 된다. 터널 시공의 안정성과 경제성을 확보하려면 각 지반조건에 적합한 공법을 선택하여 그라우팅 설계와 시공이 진행되어야 하고, 신뢰성 있는 그라우팅의 시공을 위해서는 그라우팅 시공 후 그라우팅의 성능평가가 이루어져야 한다. 지금까지의 그라우팅의 평가는 한정된 개수의 코아에 대한 압축강도 시험으로 수행되었으나, 이러한 방법으로는 보강된 지반의 전반적인 그라우팅 성능 평가 및 보강 효과의 정량화에 다소 정확성이 결여될 소지가 있다. 본 연구에서는 코아 채취를 통한 일점식 평가를 탈피하고자 SASW 기법을 도입하여 그라우팅의 정량적 성능평가 방법을 모색하고자 하였다. SASW기법은 재료의 표면에서 비파괴적으로 탄성파를 발진하고 전파된 탄성파를 측정하여 재료의 내부강성구조를 평가하는 방법으로, 지반의 전단강성 구조 및 콘크리트 구조물의 비파괴 건전도 평가 등에 주로 활용되는 기법이다. 본 연구에서는 터널 1차 라이닝(shotcrete) 표면에서 SASW 실험을 수행하여 터널 원지반에 대한 우레탄 보강의 효과를 터널 원지반의 전단강성 증가와 원지반내의 내부 공동 또는 균열 확인 등의 측면에서 평가하고자 하였다. 그리고, 본 연구에서 제안한 방법의 신뢰성 및 현장적용성을 확인하기 위하여, 실제 경기도 OO철도 터널에서의 우레탄 그라우팅 성능평가에 본 연구에서 제안한 방법을 시험 적용하였다.

  • 석탄 연소 시 발생하는 회가 보일러 벽면에 부착되어 일어나는 슬래깅 현상은 보일러의 열효율을 감소시키고 보일러 안정성에도 악영향을 준다. 이러한 슬래그의 유동 특성은 회의 용융 특성과 관련이 있는데 이는 회의 화학적 조성에 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 회의 용융특성을 TMA(Thermo-Mechanical Analysis) 장비를 이용하여 분석하였다. 이 테스트는 회의 수축률에 따른 용융온도(T25%, T50%, T75%, T90%)를 정량적으로 측정 하는 방법이다. TMA에서 측정된 각각의 온도는 용융단계별 특성을 나타낸다. TMA로 분석된 결과 값에 XRF 장비를 이용하여 분석한 회의 성분 조성이 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 회에 포함된 성분 중 refractory, fluxing contents가 회분의 용융온도에 미치는 영향을 확인할 수 있었다. Refractory contents 성분인 $SiO_2$, $Al_2O_3$의 함량이 많을수록 전체적인 용융온도가 올라가며 $SiO_2/Al_2O_3$가 커질수록 고온에서의 용융온도인 T75%, T90%가 낮아지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이와 달리 fluxing contents 성분인 $Fe_2O_3$, $K_2O$, CaO의 함량이 많아질수록 전체적인 용융온도가 낮아지며 이중 $K_2O$, CaO는 초기 용융 온도인 T25%를 낮추는데 큰 역할을 하는 것으로 판단되었다. TMA 분석과 회의 조성 비교를 통하여 회의 용융 특성을 예측하고 설명할 수 있었다.

  • Objectives The purpose of this study is to understand what caregivers think advantageous and disadvantageous regarding Acupoint sticking Dog-days. Also, to know whether Acupoint sticking in Dog-days affect vital signs, and to investigate if occurrence of side effects are related to application duration, sweat, or compliance to precautionary measures. Methods Survey has been handed out to parents of the children who took Acupoint sticking in Dog-days. 10 days after the first dose was administered, survey was performed to examine any side effect occurrences, characteristics of sweat, duration of application, parents' thought about this therapy. Also, vital signs were checked before the first dose, and 10 days after to see any differences in vital signs in regards to this therapy. Results Preferable opinions about Acupoint sticking in Dog-days are 'convenient than herbal medications' (76.5%), 'less reluctance of child' (47.1%), 'reasonable price' (20.6%), 'good effectiveness' (17.6%), 'less side effect' (14.7%), 'no worry about agrochemicals or heavy metals uptake' (11.8%). Downsides were 'difficult to admit to hospital right on the Dog-days' (73.5%), 'no conspicuous effectiveness' (11.8%), 'expensive' (5.9%), 'reluctance of child' (2.9%). Vital sign differences were minimal when examined before and after Acupoint sticking in Dog-days. Side effects occurred 5 times in 34 cases, and they were erythema, itchiness, and hot sensation. There were no scars or blisters reported. All 5 cases were resolved without any interventions within 3 days. Conclusions Acupoint sticking in Dog-days doesn't affect vital signs. Severe side effect is rare, reported side effects were relatively mild, suggesting that it may be safe and well-tolerated. 'Convenience' (76.5%) is biggest advantage of Acupoint sticking in Dog-days and 'less reluctance of child' is also big advantage of Acupoint sticking in Dog-days. 'Difficulty to admit to hospital right on the Dog-days' (73.5%) is biggest disadvantage of Acupoint sticking in Dog-days.

  • Objective: The visually impaired have limited access to health care services and related information, and thus, they can have serious hurdles against properly taking medications. Despite that it is important to improve self-care ability of the visually impaired for correct medication use, there have been few studies investigating their needs for health care services in Korea, particularly focusing on proper medication usage. This study is to explore safety-related issues regarding mediation usage among the visually impaired based on in-depth interview. We particularly focus on any obstacles for safe use of medicines including experience on medication-related adverse effects in order to provide preliminary evidence for policy measures to improve proper medication use among the visually impaired. Methods: Study sample was visually impaired individuals who resided in Seoul area and were registered in the National Association of Visually Impaired. The association helped the process of recruiting the study participants. In-depth interview for each study participants was conducted. Each interview was recorded and later converted into a written script to extract core contents for the analysis. Results: The study participants comprised of three women (42.9%) and four men (57.1%). One was in his 20's, and there were four participants in 30's and two in 40's. Fully impaired participants were majority (5 out of 7). Limitation to physical access to health care providers and health information were the key factors to hamper safe medication utilization among the study participants. Difficulty reading medication information and may take the wrong medication or incorrect doses of medication, resulting in serious consequences, including overdose or inadequate treatment of health problems. Visually impaired patients report increased anxiety related to medication management and must rely on others to obtain necessary drug information. Pharmacists have a unique opportunity to pursue accurate medication adherence in this special population. This article reviews literature illustrating how severe medication mismanagement can occur in the visually impaired elderly and presents resources and solutions for pharmacists to take a larger role in adherence management in this population. Conclusion: The visually impaired had difficulties reading medication information and identifying medicines, and took incorrect doses of medications. Public support for safe medication use and medication management among the visually impaired is necessary.

  • Today, we are living while interchanging with various countries in multilateral measures and residential culture have been changed while interchanging in the same manner. In order to become an internationally recognized residential environment designer in this environment, we must understand the housing viewpoint of residents in that country first. Therefore, this study is intended to obtain the useful materials for residential environment design of Korea and China by comparing the housing viewpoint between Chinese students studying in Korea and Korean students. A survey using questionnaire was conducted on 205 Korean students and 193 Chinese students (Chinese race) from Y University on a random sampling basis. The result of survey is as follows. First, as both Korean and Chinese university students have a similar tendency on previous house type, current house type, and desired house type, it can be understood that they are similar each other in the experience and preference of house type. Second, Korean and Chinese university students consider and as the most important functions of residence, but Chinese university students consider more functions of residence than Korean students. And, both Korean and Chinese students consider a living room as the most important space among housing spaces, but Chinese consider a private room more importantly than Korean. Third, Chinese university students have stronger desire to possess houses, and desire to purchase houses with larger and more rooms at earlier time than Korean university students. Fourth, when selecting the house, Chinese university students give a higher consideration in terms such as , , , , and than Korean university students. Fifth, satisfaction level of Korean students on current houses was average as a whole, and most Chinese students were generally satisfied with their houses. Sixth, as both of Korean and Chinese university students have higher level of consideration in the items such as safety>, , , , , , , , , , and compared to the level of satisfaction, thoughtful consideration should be given to those items in housing planning.
