목 적: 왼편 유방암 환자의 경우 오른편 유방암 환자보다 심장과 폐 등 정상장기에 불필요한 선량이 일부 조사됨에 따라 부작용이 우려되고 있다. 이를 줄이기 위해 DIBH기법을 시행하고 있다. Conventional Radiation Therapy, Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy, Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy의 치료계획 방법에 따라 쇄골상 림프절과 내유 림프절을 포함한 왼편 유방암의 경우 주변 장기의 선량 값을 비교 평가하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 왼편 유방암 환자 중 쇄골상 림프절과 내유 림프절을 포함한 환자 8명을 대상으로 Free Breathing과 Deep inspiration breath-hold 기법을 적용하여 각각 CT-Simulation을 시행한다. 획득한 영상을 기반으로 체표윤곽을 그려 95 %$D_{max}$<110 %이 되도록 Conventional Radiation Therapy, Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy, Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy방법으로 계획하였다. Conventional Radiation Therapy는 쇄골상 림프절에 1문조사, 유방 부분에 접선 2문조사로 Field in Field 기법을 사용하였다. Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy는 7개의 조사면으로 구성하였다. Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy은 회전반경을 $290^{\circ}{\sim}179^{\circ}$으로 한 2 ARC를 이용하여 계획을 수행하였다. Eclipse의 선량체적용적을 참고하여 주변 정상 장기 선량을 분석하였다. 결 과: Deep inspiration breath-hold기법을 적용함으로 심장과 흉벽 사이의 간격은 평균 $1.6{\pm}0.6cm$ 증가하였다. 폐의 평균 선량은 $19.2{\pm}1.0Gy$로 Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy에서 가장 작은 값이 나타났다. 심장의 $V_{30}(%)$은 $2.0{\pm}1.9$로 Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy에서 가장 작은 값이었다. 좌전하행 관상동맥에서는 평균 선량이 $25.4{\pm}5.4Gy$로 Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy에서 가장 작은 값으로 나타났다. 반대편 유방의 최대선량 값은 Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy일 때 $29.7{\pm}4.3Gy$로 가장 작은 값으로 나타났다. 결 론: 주변 정상장기 선량의 값을 비교해 보았을 때, Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy와 Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy은 치료에 적용할 수 있는 값으로 나타났다. 이 중 Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy가 적합한 치료계획 방법으로 사료된다.

Purpose: This study was conducted to develop and to determine the effects of an integrated symptom management program for prevention of recurrent cardiac events after percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods: Subjects consisted of 58 CAD patients (experimental group: 30, control group: 28). The experimental group participated in an integrated symptom management program for 6 months which was composed of tailored education, stress management, exercise, diet, deep breathing, music therapy, periodical telephone monitoring and a daily log. The control group received the usual care. Results: The experimental group significantly decreased symptom experiences and the level of LDL compared to the control group. The experimental group significantly increased self care activity and quality of life compared to the control group. Although no significant difference was found in cardiac recurrence, the experimental group had fewer recurrences. Conclusion: These results suggest that an integrated symptom management program for prevention of recurrent cardiac events after percutaneous coronary intervention can improve symptom aggravation, recurrent rate, self care activity and quality of life. Nursing interventions are needed to maintain and further enhance the quality of life of these patients and the interventions should be implemented in the overall transition period.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a structured preoperative instruction upon anxiety and postoperative self-care compliance. Methods: A randomized control group pre-post design was used. Sixty subjects undergoing cataract surgery were randomly assigned to one of two groups. The instruction consisted of cataract surgery procedure, sensory information, deep breathing, use of eye drop, and post op self-care regimen and was provided to the experimental group with control group receiving an usual treatment. State anxiety NRS, pulse, BP, and self-care compliance scale developed by Cho & Rho were used. Data were collected at two time periods: on the day of surgery in the clinic and prior to anesthesia in the operating room. The postoperative self-care compliance scores were measured at their second visits to the hospital after surgery. Data were analyzed using Kolmogorov Smirnov test, t-test, and Mann-Whitney U test. Results: There were significant differences between the two groups in the postoperative state anxiety (t=-3.57, p=.001) and the postoperative self-care compliance score (t=3.92, p<.001). There were no significant difference between the two groups in the postoperative blood pressure and pulse rate. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that the structured preoperative instruction could be a nursing intervention for cataract surgery patients.

Post-thoracotomy pain is so severe that lead to postoperative pulmonary complications due to the patient`s inability to cough, deep breathing and chest wall motion. Many authors have been trying to reduce the post-thoracotomy pain, but there is no method of complete satisfaction. In 1990, we reported the result that the cryoanalgesia reduce the immediate postoperative pain significantly. We try to compare the effect of cyroanalgesia with the effect of Bupivacain intercostal nerve block for the post-thoracotomy pain control. Ninety patients, who undergoing thoracotomy in Korea University Medical Center Guro Hospital between the January 1993 and September 1993, were evaluated. The patients were divided into three groups : Group A, control, the patients without pain control procedure [N=30], Group B, the patients with Bupivacain intercostal nerve block [N=30], Group C, the patients with cryoanalgesia [N=30]. Postoperative analgesic effects were evaluated by the scoring system which made arbiturary by author. The results were that the Bupivacain intercostal nerve block markedly reduced the immediate postoperative pain compare with two other groups, the cryoanalgesia reduced the immediate postoperative pain significantly compare with control group, the pain reduction effect of the two groups- cryoanalgesia and Bupivacain intercostal nerve block- were not different at postoperative seventh day, probably due to the action time of Bupivacain and the result that there were no significant complications of the procedures.

Object: We evaluated the efficacy of chest physical therapy in pediatric patients with pneumonia. Method: Retrospective study was performed in 89 pneumonia patients admitted to pediatric unit. The subjects were divided into two groups: control group; treatment group. Control group included 42 patients who didn't receive chest physical therapy. Treatment group included 47 patients who received chest physical therapy. The chest physcial therapy employed were postural drainage, chest percussion, deep breathing training and enhancement of coughings. The efficacy was evaluated by x-ray outcome before discharge. Results: There were no significant difference in age, sex, type of pneumonia, and symptom duration between two groups. However the duration of fever after admission, duration of antibiotic use and hospital stay were longer in treatment group. In treatment group, longer the day to initiate chest physical therapy, longer the hospital stay. The final outcome was not different between groups. Conclusion: The results suggest that the referred patients for chest physical therapy tends to be of severe cases. Nevertheless, the result that the outcome was not different in two groups means that the chest physical therapy could be used as a effective treatment method in pediatric patient with pneumonia.

Postpartum depression is one of the most serious problems in maternal health because it affects not only the mother but also her family. Postpartum depression disturbs maternal -infant interaction and attachment. However, most postpartum depression patients ignore this problem and do not seek treatment. Thus this study in conducted to development of a Home-Based Multimedia Tutoring System for postpartum depression management. With this computerized system, mothers in the postpartum periods can check the level of postpartum depression using a personal computer. This system will go through each mother's data and screen those who have abnormal values. In addition this system includes intervention programs -education for nutrition, hygiene care, sleep, postpartum exercise, methods of relaxation, deep breathing, visualization, music therapy and family therapy-to relieve postpartum depression. Using this system, a mother who has a minor level of depression can manage it by herself. Computer language used in this study were html 3.2, OS used was Microsoftware NT Server 4.0, the graphic tool was Adobe Photoshop 4.0, and the Webpage tool was Notepade. The results of this study are show at internet “URL : http : //203.241.225.42/”. Finally, the author suggests that this system could be adequately applied to assessing postpartum depression and as a intervention strategy for mothers during the postpartum period. Further this study contributes to designing an appropriate postpartum depression prevention strategy.

Benign endobronchial tumors are rare diseases with an incidenced of between 1 and 5% of all Jung tumors. An endobronchial fibroepithelial polyp is an extremely rare form of benign bronchial tumor. Clinically, an endobronchial fibroepithelial polyp causes an airway obstruction and obstructive pneumonitis as does other endobronchial tumors. Therefore, it is important to differentiate an endobronchial fibroepithelial polyp pathologically from other benign endobronchial tumors and bronchogenic carcinomas. Here, we report a case of an endobronchial fibroepithelial polyp, in a 25-year-old man who had suffered from chest discomfort upon deep breathing with a brief review of the relevant literature.

A burst fracture refers to the fracture of the anterior and middle vertebral columns which are moving into the spinal canal causing neurological impairments, generally requiring surgical treatment. We herein report a rare case of burst fracture with kissing spine in a 90-year-old man who had severe lower back pain that worsened during back extension. Considering the surgical treatment risk, he was hospitalized at a Korean medicine hospital for 85 days and underwent combined Korean medicine treatments including pharmacopuncture, herbal medicine, chuna, deep-fascia meridian therapy, walking practice, and abdominal breathing. Based on patient-reported scales, his pain was alleviated, and his physical function improved. Furthermore, his range of motion and walking time increased. This case report suggests that combined Korean medicine treatments could be an effective alternative for patients with burst fracture who have surgery risks.

Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) serves as a clinical gold-standard non-invasive imaging technique for the assessment of global and regional cardiac function. Conventional cardiac MRI is limited by the long acquisition time, the need for ECG gating and/or long breathhold, and insufficient spatiotemporal resolution. Real-time cardiac cine MRI refers to high spatiotemporal cardiac imaging using data acquired continuously without synchronization or binning, and therefore of potential interest in overcoming the limitations of conventional cardiac MRI. Novel acquisition and reconstruction techniques must be employed to facilitate real-time cardiac MRI. The goal of this study is to discuss methods that have been developed for real-time cardiac MRI. In particular, we classified existing techniques into two categories based on the use of non-iterative and iterative reconstruction. In addition, we present several research trends in this direction, including deep learning-based image reconstruction and other advanced real-time cardiac MRI strategies that reconstruct images acquired from real-time free-breathing techniques.

목 적: 본 연구는 좌측 유방암 방사선치료에서 환자 호흡방법에 따른 영향에 대하여 치료계획을 통해 비교 분석하고, 깊은 들숨 호흡 정지법(deep inspiration breath hold, DIBH)에서 지속적 기도 양압(continuous positive airway, CPAP)의 유용성을 평가하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 좌측 유방암 환자 총 10명을 대상으로 하였다. 모의치료에서 총 세 가지 호흡법을 적용하여 영상을 획득하였다: 자유호흡법(free breathing, FB); 깊은 들숨 호흡 정지법(DIBH); 들숨 호흡 정지법(inspiration breath hold, IBH); 여기서 DIBH에서는 자가호흡확인 기구인 abches(APEX, Japan)와 IBH에서는 CPAP가 적용되었다. 치료계획은 Ray Station(5.0.2.35, Sweden)을 이용하였고, 용적 강도변조 회전방사선치료법(volumetric modulated arc therapy, VMAT) one partial Arc을 환자당 동일 각도로 적용하였다. 치료계획용적(planning target volume, PTV)의 총 처방선량은 50Gy(2Gy/fx)로 설정하였다. 치료계획분석은 PTV의 95% dose(D95), 처방선량지수(conformity index, CI)와 선량균질지수(homogeneity index, HI)를 비교 분석하였다. 손상위험장기(Organ At Risk, OAR)인 폐, 심장, 왼내림 앞가지동맥(left anterior descending artery, LAD)을 분석하였다. 결 과: 동축의 폐(ipsilateral lung)의 평균용적 FB, DIBH(Abches), IBH(CPAP)에서 각각 1245.58±301.31㎤, 1790.09±362.43㎤, 1775.44±476.71㎤였다. PTV의 평균 D95는 각각 46.67±1.89Gy, 46.85±1.72Gy, 46.97±2.34Gy였다. 평균 CI(HI)는 각각 0.95±0.02(0.91±0.01), 0.96±0.02(0.90±0.01), 0.95±0.02(0.92±0.02)였다. 폐 전체의 V20(동측 폐)은 각각 10.74±4.50%(20.45±8.65%), 8.29±3.14%(17.18±7.04%), 9.12±3.29%(18.85±7.85%)였다. 심장의 평균 선량(Dmean)은 각각 7.82±1.27Gy, 6.10±1.27Gy, 5.67±1.56Gy였다. LAD의 최대선량(Dmax)은 각각 20.41±7.56Gy, 14.88±3.57Gy, 14.96±2.81Gy였다. LAD에서 흉벽(Chest wall)까지 평균거리는 각각 11.33±4.70mm, 22.40±6.01mm, 20.14±6.23mm였다. 결 론: DIBH와 CPAP에서 FB보다 폐 용적이 커짐으로써, 방사선치료영역인 흉벽과 심장의 거리가 멀어지는 효과 때문에 LAD의 선량을 감소시킬 수 있다. 좌측 유방암 방사선치료 시 DIBH방법의 대체방안으로 CPAP은 임상적 활용도가 높을 것으로 사료된다.
