In commemoration of Vol. 30, Issue 1, our journal prepares four review articles and two original papers. The first review article provides guidelines for medical treatment for emergencies in an aircraft furing flight. This guideline addresses the resources and medical equipment available to physicians on board, common medical conditions, how to deal with them, including legal issues. The second review article covers historically meaningful animals that have contributed to aerospace research and the role of a veterinarian. The third one describes cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and vestibular physiological effects of microgravity on the human body. As we are about to enter an aging society, the fourth review article introduces guidelines for safe overseas travel for senior passengers. The role of the aviation medical examiner is to maintain aircrew's health and to help them work long and healthy. In this regard, Choi et al. analyzed the physical examination data and sick leave data of an airline. Han et al. investigated the aerospace medical examination data of the Republic of Korea and suggested a solution to some common health problems of the crew.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impacts of distributive and procedural justice on job satisfaction and organizational commitment among hospital nurses. The samples of this study consisted of 353 nurses from 8 general hospitals located in Seoul and Youngnam area in Korea. Data were collected with self-administered questionnaires and analyzed using hierarchical regression technique. Contrary to the predictions of the interaction, main effect or cultural model, the results of this study show that both distributive and procedural justice have significant positive impacts on job satisfaction and organizational commitment among hospital nurses, and the former has stronger effects than the latter. The results imply that hospital administrators should take measures to establish procedural and distributive justice to increase job satisfaction and organizational commitment among hospital nurses.

Biliary ascariasis is still the leading cause of surgical complication of ascariasis, though its incidence has been dramatically reduced. Herein, we report a case of biliary ascariasis for the purpose of enhancing awareness of parasitic infections as a possible cause. A 72-year-old male visited the emergency room of Dankook University Hospital on 12 July 2015, complaining of right-upper-quadrant pain. By endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), a tubular filling defect in the right hepatic duct was detected. The defect was endoscopically removed and diagnosed as an adult female of Ascaris lumbricoides worm, of 30 cm length. Upon removal of the worm, the pain subsided, and the patient was discharged without any complication. When treating cases of biliary colic, physicians should not neglect biliary ascariasis as the possible cause.

Three-dimensional ultrasound imaging is a new, exciting technology that allows physicians to use ultrasound to view pathology as a volume, thereby enhancing comprehension of patient anatomy. In this paper, a brief history of the 3-D ultrasound imaging is described in accordance with the development of transducer technology. Then, two representative types of 3-D imaging transducers are reviewed with description of the concept and operation principle of each type: mechanical transducer and matrix array transducer. The mechanical transducer is detailed into free-hand scanning and sequential scanning types. Advantages of each transducer over the other and the technical issues for further performance enhancement are also presented.

In order to know the prevalence of head louse among the school children in rural area, we visited 3 primary schools and a kindergarten in Sanbuk-myon, Mungyong-gun, Kyongsangbuk-do in July 1985, and examined the children to identify the adult worms of head louse and/or its nits on the hair. The overall infestation rate was 91.9% among 420 children examined, and there was a difference between schools (P<0.05). The school girls' rate, 96.1% was higher than that of boys' 88.9%(P<0.05). By grade, the rate of infant school was 88.5% and 1st to 6th grade were 100, 100, 95.8, 90.4, 89.7, 80.0% respectively. Above result indicates that the head louse is an important health problem in this community. Therefore, the chemotherapy and the effort to improve the hygiene are necessary in this community by physicians, teachers and health administrators.

It is well-known fact that Korean medicine is related to Taoism. Dong-$\breve{u}$ibogam(東醫寶鑑) was written by Heo-Jun(許浚) in Jo-seon(朝鮮) dynasty. Heo-Jun complied all of past studies on Korean medicine in this book. On the basis of Naegyoung(內徑), he accepted the theory of four eminent physicians of the K$\breve{u}$m and Won Dynasty(金元時代) in ancient China and Eubangyouchui(醫方類聚), $\breve{U}$irimch'waryo(醫林撮要), Hyang-yakjips$\breve{o}$ngbang(鄕藥集成方) in Jo-seon. Especially, Dong-$\breve{u}$ibogam is so characteristic of Taoism than any other medical books written in China or Korea before. In this study, I researched the relation between Dong-$\breve{u}$ibogam and Taosim on the views of authors, organization, reference hooks, contents.

본 연구에서는 소비자 중심 의료 관점에 기초해 미국·캐나다 재외국민들을 대상으로 진행된 의료 만족도 비교 조사를 바탕으로 가정의 도입과 관련된 탐색적 연구를 수행하였다. '16년 -'18년 사이에 설문조사지 배포 및 회수 방식으로 수집된 493개의 실증자료에 기초한 통계적 분석 결과 본 연구의 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 미국·캐나다 가정의에 대한 만족도가 한국의 1차 의료 의사에 비해 높다는 증거를 발견할 수 없었다. 둘째, 치료기술 및 수준, 진료예약 신속성 등에서 한국 1 차 의료 의사 만족도가 높았으며 가정의 제도에 비해 약점으로 언급되는 충분한 상담 및 설명 측면에서도 가정의 제도가 더 우수하다는 증거를 발견할 수 없었다. 셋째, 미국 재외국민은 캐나다 재외국민에 비해 가정의 제도에 대한 만족도가 더 낮게 나타났다. 넷째, 미국·캐나다 재외국민은 가정의를 거쳐 병원에 가도록 강제하는 제도에 대한 부정적인 평가가 높았고 질병 발생 시 가정의를 통하지 않고 병원을 직접 방문하는 것을 선호하였다. 결론적으로 미국·캐나다 가정의 만족도가 한국 1차 의사에 비해 높다는 충분한 증거가 없으므로 서구식 가정의 제도 도입 전 이 제도로 인한 효익과 비용에 대한 보다 심층적인 추가적인 분석이 수행될 필요가 있다.

This report presents the date obtained in a 1990 survery al radiation oncology identified by KSTRO. This study was done to find out the status of current use of the radation thrapy equipments, personnels, utilization of equipments and orther problems in the field of radiation oncology department in korea. Our discussion addresses the areas of regional imbalance in the distribution of megavolage units, buying and selecting the units, improving of quality in radiation treatments. There is increasing use of linear accelerators, simulators, treatment planning computers. The use of Cp-60 units has been prohressively decreasing. And slowly improving, numbers of physicians, physicists, and technologists when compared with the 1988. A total of 51 megavoltage units were identified, giving a ratio of 1.88 technologists/ megavoltage units. We treat average 23.0 patients by megavoltage units.
