미래 유비쿼터스 환경에 적합한 플랫폼은 모바일이면서 대용량 데이터를 자유롭게 송수신할 것이다. 그런 가운데 의료분야에서는 센서와 멀티미디어 기술의 발달에 발맞춰 개인이 휴대할 수 있는 휴대용이나 재택형 의료기기가 더욱 발전될 것이다. 그러한 다양한 의료기기 정보를 손쉽게 교환하고 전송하는 헬스케어용 단말기 또한 발전될 것이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 현재 모바일기기에 강력한 프로세서인 PXA255를 기반으로 이동성과 속도를 보장하는 WLAN을 연결하여 모바일 플랫폼에서의 의료 정보 전송을 통하여 효율적인 서비스를 위한 시스템을 제공하는데 중점을 두었다.

IPv6 and Ubiquitous Healthcare Environment (UHE) has become a main stream of the next generation technologies. IPv6 is designed in many ways with enhanced features such as a routing, mobility, scalability, QOS and security as a replacement of IPv4. Also, UHE is developed to provide patients with convenience and efficient healthcare services using the remote home healthcare system. However, IPv4 currently used as an Internet protocol does not have enough capability to fully support UHE. It may result in a restricted implementation of UHE. As a result, research on IPv6 implementations in UHE is increasingly becoming an issue within the healthcare industry. IPv6 has enhanced features to implement the remote healthcare system such as Neighbour Discovery process and address auto-configuration. In this paper, a basic of IPv6 and UHE will be firstly introduced and secondly, benefits brought by IPv6 in UHE will be discussed. In addition, security issues in IPv6 will be analysed to conclude this paper.

We analyzed the clinical characteristics and outcome of ileocecal and small bowel intussusceptions (ICI and SBI) in the pediatric patients. From August 2003 to July 2010, 144 children with intussusception were included in this study. We retrospectively reviewed the clinical records and Imaging study findings. A total of 86 children with ICI and 58 children with SBI were diagnosed. Children with SBI were older than ICI ($36.6{\pm}24.6$ months vs. $24.2{\pm}21.6$ months, p=0.002). Typical symptoms such as irritability, abdominal mass, bloody stool were more frequent in ICI than SBI (p<0.05) patients. In the ICI group, intussusceptums were reduced with air reduction (84.5%), surgery (17.4%), and spontaneity (1.2%). All patients in the SBI group were reduced spontaneously. SBI occurred in older age and was reduced spontaneously more frequently than ICI. Conservative management with close observation with follow-up by ultrasonography is recommended for SBI.

RFID는 유헬스의 핵심 기술로서 환자 위치 추적 관리, 의료 자산관리 등 다양한 목적으로 의료기관에 적용될 수 있다. 하지만, 정작 의료기관에서는 높은 도입 비용으로 인하여 RFID 도입이 기대와 달리 적극적이지 못한 실정이다. 도입 검토 단계에서 정확한 비용과 도입 효과를 산정하는 것은 의료기간에서의 RFID 확산에 꼭 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 의료기관에서 RFID 도입시 예상되는 비용 및 효율을 평가하기 위한 시뮬레이션 기법을 제안한다. 의료기관을 대상으로 하여 태그를 부착한 환자의 이동을 가상으로 모델링하는 기법을 제시한다. 그리고 환자의 이동에 따른 RFID 태그 인식 시뮬레이션을 통해 태그 인식 이벤트를 생성하는 방법을 제시한다.

Background: Electromagnetic fields (EMF) are ubiquitous in modern society including medical field. As the technology of medical instruments and telecommunications has developed rapidly, it has influenced on our lives in many ways. Modern medical practice requires high quality medical equipments, which have a great deal of electromagnetic interference and susceptibility. The purpose of this study were to evaluate electromagnetic condition under usual clinical condition and to suggest a practical guideline in general hospital. Materials and Methods: The actual state of the electromagnetic interference in the medical field was studied under usual clinical conditions including operating rooms, intensive care units, magnetic resonance imaging unit, and hyperthermia unit. Results: There was considerable noise as a result of electromagnetic fields from medical equipments including electrosurgical units and hyperthermia unit, and cellular phones, which could induce serious functional derangements of functioning medical devices. Conclusion: It will be necessary to evaluate the individual electromagnetic situations under various medical conditions and to define a limited zone for cellular phone as well as reposition medical equipments to secure a safer medical practice and to minimize electromagnetic interference.

Increasing of number of people who suffered from long term chronic diseases which required frequent daily health monitoring and body check up in conjunction with the trendy uses of mobile phones and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) in various ubiquitous computing had make portable healthcare system a well known application today. A mobile phone based portable healthcare monitoring system with multiple vital signals monitoring ability at real time in WSN and CDMA network is developed. This system carries out real time monitoring and local data analysis process in the mobile phone. Any detection of abnormal health condition and diagnosis at earlier stage will reduce the risk of patient's life. As an extension to the existing model, a pre-diagnosis management system (PDMS) is designed to minimize the time consuming in pre-diagnosis process in the hospital or healthcare center. An alert is sent to the web server at the healthcare center when the patient detects his health is at critical state where the immediate diagnosis is needed. Preparation of diagnosis equipments and arrangement of doctor and nurses at the hospital side can be done earlier before the arrival of patient at the hospital with the help of PDMS. An efficient pre-diagnosis management increases the chances of diseases recovery rate as well.

The 14-3-3 proteins are highly conserved, ubiquitous molecules involved in a variety of biologic phenomena, such as cell cycle control, and apoptosis. However, their expression in cholangiocarcinoma has not been previously characterized. In this paper, immunohistochemistry using specific anti-14-3-3 monoclonal antibodies was performed on formalin-fixed;, paraffin embedded archival tissue from 86 patients of cholangiocarcinoma. We also examined the correlation between expression and survival rate and clinicopathologic factors such as tumor location, tumor size, pathologic differentiation, lymphatic permeation, lymph node metastasis, and tumor stage. Positive 14-3-3 proteins expression was observed for 6 isoforms (${\beta}$, ${\sigma}$, ${\gamma}$, ${\theta}$, ${\delta}$, ${\eta}$) of these proteins in 86 patients of cholangiocarcinoma. ${\beta}$ and ${\sigma}$ isoform immunoreactivity was correlated with lymph node metastasis, tumor stage and patients' survival rate. In addition, ${\delta}$ isoform immunoreactivity showed trends with tumor location, tumor size, pathologic differentiation and tumor stage, while the ${\theta}$ isoform was correlated with pathologic differentiation. These results indicated that upregulated expression of some isoforms of 14-3-3 may be a common mechanism for evading apoptosis in cholangiocarcinoma, so that targeting 14-3-3 may be a novel promising strategy for the treatment of this tumor.

Bacterial antibiotic resistance is a real and growing problem for both Gram positive and Gram negative bacterial pathogens in the hospital setting. Among Gram negative bacteria, the ubiquitous bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a particular concern in immunocompromised and burn patients. The present study evaluated antibacterial activity and efficacy of a Korean herbal medicine against eight multi-drug resistant clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa (0225, 0254, 0347, 0826, 1113, 1378, 1731, and 2492) isolated at Daegu Catholic University Hospital. Methanol extracts of Galla rhois (5 and 10 mg/mL) displayed inhibition diameters for isolate 2492 of 10 and 12 mm, respectively, in a conventional disc diffusion assay. In seven kinds of Korean herbal medicines, increased inhibitory power of Lonicera japonica, Gardenia jasminoides, Galla rhois, and Scultellaria baicalensis was evident with the fermentation of six kinds of lactic acid bacteria. Three lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus plantarum subsp. plantarum KCTC 3108, L. casei KCTC 3109, and L. fermentum KCTC 3112) were identified as excellent strains for the production of antibacterial materials. In the six Korean herbal medicine extracts, strong inhibitory activity of fermented Forsythia suspensa, Glycyrrhizae radix, Lycium chinense, Platycodon grum, and Schizandra chinensis with five kinds of lactic acid bacteria was evident for seven multi-drug resistant P. aeruginosa isolates.
