Objectives This study aimed to identify optimal combinations of acupoints used to treat chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). Methods We searched four international databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Allied and Complementary Medicine Databases [AMED], and China National Knowledge Infrastructure [CNKI]) and five Korean databases (DBpia, Research Information Sharing Service [RISS], Korean Studies Information Service System [KISS], Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System [OASIS], and KoreaMed) to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that used acupuncture to treat CIPN. Network analysis was performed on the acupoints used in more than three included articles. We constructed a network by calculating the Jaccard similarity coefficient between acupoints and applied minimum spanning tree. Then, modularity analysis, degree centrality (Cd), and betweenness centrality (Cb) were used to analyze properties of the acupoints. Results A total of 25 articles were included. 24 acupoints were extracted from 25 articles. The combinations of acupoints having the highest Jaccard similarity coefficient were {EX-UE9, EX-LE10} and {ST36, SP6}. In the modularity analysis, acupoints were classified to six modules. ST40, EX-UE11, and KI6 had the highest Cd value while ST40, GB34 had the highest Cb value. Conclusions This study found the systematic framework of acupoint combinations used in CIPN studies. This study is expected to provide new perspectives of CIPN treatment to therapists. A RCT is in progress of using the network of this study as a guideline. If significant results are derived from the RCT, it will be possible to lay the groundwork to consider acupuncture for CIPN treatment.

Objectives The aim of this study was to analyze the trends of researches on oriental medicine treatments for supraspinatus tendinopathy. Methods We used five databases for searching researches; Korean studies Information Service System, Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System, Research Information Sharing Service, PubMed, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure. Only randomized controlled trials suitable for the subject were selected. The methodological quality of included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was assessed by the Cochrane risk of bias tool. Results Twenty randomized controlled trials were analyzed. There were 9 types of treatment interventions; acupuncture, acupotomy, pharmacopuncture, electroacupuncture, fire needling, warming needle, catgut-embedding therapy, herbal medicine, cupping. The most frequently used treatment intervention was acupuncture and acupotomy. There were 9 outcome measurements including visual analog scale (VAS), Constant-Murley Score (CMS), and range of motion. The most used measurement was VAS. As a result of meta-analysis, acupuncture was more effective than control group in VAS. Additionally, acupotomy was clinically significant compared to control groups in VAS and CMS. Conclusions In this review, we analyzed researches on effectiveness of oriental medicine for supraspinatus tendinopathy. A provisional conclusion can be produced that acupuncture and acupotomy showed beneficial effect to supraspinatus tendinopathy. Although there were some RCT studies, many of them had a high risk of bias, so it is hard to conclude that our study can include overall clinical status. Further well-designed trials are needed.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to systematically review the effects of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation treatment on muscle wasting in cancer patients. Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were searched from seven online databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System, Korean studies Information Service System, Research Information Sharing Service. The selected RCTs were evaluated for methodological quality through the Cochrane RoB. Results A total of 126 articles were identified, and 4 randomized controlled trials were selected for systematic review. In one study, it was found that there were statistically significant improvements in the Health-Related Quality of Life (FACTH&N total score, p<0.001). Additionally, significant effects were observed in measurements that represented the size of the quadriceps muscle (cross-sectional area of Vastus lateralis and Rectus femoris, p=0.004), maximum muscle strength, the twitch response of resistance muscles, and voluntary activation (p<0.001). However, no significant differences were observed between the intervention and control groups in terms of quadriceps muscle strength in two other studies (p>0.05). Lastly, while one study showed no significant differences in muscle fiber characteristics between the two groups, it did report significant improvements in measurements related to mitochondria within muscle tissue and muscle strength in the intervention group (p<0.05). Conclusions Neuromuscular electrical stimulation can be a method used to improve muscle strength in muscle wasting of cancer patients, but it is difficult to see its effects as significant compared to other treatments.

최근 IT 기술의 발전과 함께 클라우드 서비스, IoT 기술 및 모바일 애플리케이션을 통해 통합적인 u-헬스케어 환경기반의 의료정보시스템이 구축되고 있다. 이러한 의료정보시스템에서는 응급 처치나 치료를 목적으로 의료진에게 환자의 의료정보를 접근할 권한이 제공되어야 한다. 따라서 의료정보시스템에서 의료진이 담당하는 환자의 생체정보 및 개인 의료정보에 접근하기 위해서는 신뢰적이고 신속한 인증과정이 필요하다. 그러나 현재 시스템 환경에서는 의료진의 ID/PWD만을 이용하는 단순하고 정적인 사용자 인증기법으로 의료정보시스템을 접근하고 있다. 이러한 이유에서 본 논문에서는 환자가 응급상태조건을 고려한 다양한 인증 요소를 포함한 의료정보접근의 투명성을 제공하는 동적상황인증기법과 이를 지원하는 동적상황인증시스템을 제안하였다. 본 동적상황인증은 사용자 인증과 이동 단말기 인증을 결합한 인증으로, 기존의 사용자 인증 뿐 아니라 의료진이 사용하는 이동 단말기의 인증을 위해 환자의 응급상태, 의료진의 역할, 근무시간, 근무위치 등과 같은 다양한 인증요소 속성들을 사용하였다. 우리는 응급상태판별, 동적상황인증, 인증지원 DB 구축을 포함한 동적상황인증시스템을 설계 및 구현하였다. 마지막으로 제안한 동적상황인증시스템의 서비스 수행성 검증을 위해, 의료진으로 하여금 동적상황인증과정과 그 이후 담당환자에 대한 의료정보접근 허가와 함께 의료정보서버로부터 의료진 자신의 이동 단말기에 모바일 애플리케이션을 내려 받아 실행함으로써 의료정보의 인증 및 접근과정을 보였다.
