Crocidolite quality control (QC) sampling created by the wet generation method has been validated by validation tests such as the accuracy, precision, and storage tests. For this study we designed and developed a manufacturing apparatus and standard operating procedure for making these QC samples. The most important step in the procedure of making QC samples was the stage eliminating static electricity in asbestos fibers. This static electricity hampers the fibers clog functioning. In accuracy and precision tests by phase contrast microscopy analysis, the difference between the reference values and the studied values was at maximum 17.8%. This satisfies the AIHA proficiency analytical test criteria for asbestos. We could confirm the nearly even distribution of crocidolite fibers on the membrane filter. Also, there was no loss of fibers in the storage test after the one month.

목적: 전국의 의료기관에 설치된 감마카메라의 정도관리 실태를 체계적으로 조사하여 감마카메라 성능유지를 위하여 정도관리가 적절한 방법으로 수행되고 있는지 파악하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 보유 장비 현황, 시행하고 있는 정도관리 성능평가 항목, 그리고 주기적 정도관리 현황을 조사 분석하고, 각 병원의 정도관리 능력을 파악하기 위하여 인력 현황, 교육, 정도관리 실무 수행 정도 등을 조사 분석하였다. 방법: 2003년 3월 1일부터 11월 30일까지 국내 감마카메라를 보유 중인 병원의 핵의학과나 핵의학 검사실에 설문지를 발송하고 응답을 받았다. 감마카메라 정도관리 실태 수집은 보유 중인 감마카메라의 수량, 제작사, 제원, 의료 인력의 실태, 정도관리 시행 항목과 주기, 팬텀 등 감마카메라 성능평가용 기기 보유 실태, 성능평가 수행 실태론 설문지를 작성한 후 우편, 전화 조사를 하고 필요한 경우 실사를 하여 취합하고 통계처리를 하였다. 결과: 감마카메라를 보유하고 있는 92군데의 의료기관 중 응답을 받은 기관은 78 군데로 응답율은 84.7%이었다. 1인 이하의 전문의에 의해서 운영되는 검사실이 72%으로 대부분을 차지하고 있었고, 물리화학자를 보유하지 못한 병원이 94%이었다. 감마카메라 담당 의료기사가 3인 이하로 운영되는 검사실이 71%로서 성능평가와 정도관리 프로그램을 시행하는데 인력 부족이 심각한 것을 알 수 있었다. 2대 이하의 감마카메라를 보유한 병원이 72%이었다. 장균일도치 실시여부는 매일 실시하는 곳이 32.1%, 매주 실시하는 기관이 21.8%, 매달 실시하는 곳이 24.4%이었으나, 실시하지 않는 곳도 4군데로 5.1%를 차지하고 있었다. COR의 실시주기를 보면 NEMA 권고안 대로 매주하는 곳이 5.1%이었다. 정도관리 수행 정도가 우수한 검사실은 7군데(8.9%), 양호한 검사실은 17 군데(21.8%), 보통인 검사실 44 군데 (29.5%), 불량인 검사실은 10 군데 (34.6%)로 나타났다. 결론: 국내 핵의학 검사실의 시설, 인력, 및 장비 등이 매우 부족한 환경에 있어서 감마카메라의 정도관리가 원활하게 이루어지고 있지 않은 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이 번 조사로써 열악한 환경 하에 있는 국내 의료기관에 대한 감마카메라 성능평가와 정도관리를 보다 잘 수행하기 위하여 각 관련 당사자들의 적극적인 인식 전환과 정도관리 지침서의 필요성을 제기하고 보완책들에 대하여 주의를 환기시키는 계기가 되었다고 보여진다. 국외의 사례들을 조사한 결과 감마카메라의 성능평가와 정도관리에는 정부주도보다는 민간 기구가 주축이 되어서 정도관리를 권고하고 시행하는 예들이 대부분이었다. 국내외의 감마카메라 성능평가와 정도관리에 대한 사례를 참조하여 정도관리의 체계화에 대한 대안을 제시할 필요가 있다.

Purpose Quality control used in laboratory help to sustain precision and accuracy consistently to ensure the Diagnostic and treatment for medical employee. To perform an evaluation in statistical manner, it is recommended to use different quality control material than calibrator from manufacturer, quality control material must include analyzed concentration perimeter, must use more than two different concentration materials and recommended to use materials to indicate the concentration in clinical use. However, currently used quality control material has limit of evaluation due to unconsidered concentration or improperly used to get clinical importance data. Therefore, we compared the value of quality control, DIACON Hormone Level 1, 2, 3 (Scantibodies, USA) and DIACON Tumor Level 1, 2, 3 which applied to clinical concentration range. Materials and Methods DIACON Hormone Level 1, 2, 3 (Scantibodies, USA) and DIACON Tumor Level 1, 2, 3 (Scantibodies, USA) that used materials and methods test to compare the result from five RIA testing institution and one institution that used Elecsys (ROCHE) and Architect (ABOTT) for each level. The reagent RIA kit that used in this experiment is followed by Table 2 and 3. Test has performed by instruction itself and follow by instruction. Results Among DIACON hormone result of twenty four items, level 1 have three items, level 2 have four items and level 3 have five items were out of manufacturer set up range based on the average value. Among DIACON tumor result of thirteen items, level 1 have three items, level 2 have four items and level 3 have five items were out of manufacturer set up range. Other result were inside of manufacturer range. Conclusion For quality control material, it is widely available in market, but it is limited for normal range which is only concerned in improper clinical value and difficult to evaluate important concentration area in terms of clinical analyze. In this experiment, we evaluate Hormone twenty three items and Tumor thirteen items with DIACON Hormone and Tumor (Scantibodies, USA) to resolve this limit and we could observe that it ca be substituted and used.

Performance of the group cumulative sum(CUSUM) control scheme using multiple univariate CUSUM charts is more sensitive to the change of quality control(QC) characteristics than the control chart scheme based on the Hotelling statistics. We examine three group charts for multivariate normal data sets simulated with various correlation structures and shift directions in the mean vector. These group schemes apply the orginal measurement vectors, the scaled residual vectors from the regression of each variable on all others and the principal component vectors respectively to calculating the CUSUM statistics. They are also compared to the multivariate QC charts based on the Hotelling statistic by estimating average run lengths, coefficients of variation of run length and ranks in signaling order. On the basis of simulation results, we suggest a control chart scheme appropriate for specific quality control environment.

The impact of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is the global issue over the world. Korean government has presented various policies to induce GHG reduction for the industries with high energy consumption such as power generation and chemistry. Construction sector has produced a large amount of GHG emissions resulted in the energy consumption of heavy equipments and the use of materials. This study aims to suggest the QA (Quality Assurance) and QC (Quality Control) method to identify and quantify the GHG emissions released from heavy equipments in the railroad construction sector. Generally, the accuracy and reliability of GHG inventory is dependent on the data collection. Therefore, it is necessary to mange the detailed statements for the fuel consumption of heavy equipments and the quantity of work in the field. Also, the breakdown of GHG emission sources should be recorded from the design step of railroad infrastructures. Based on these data, the GHG reduction technologies and polices can be applied in railroad construction sector.

Background : Medical equipments take a very important role in diagnosis and treatment of disease in modern medicine and effective maintenance of the equipments is a necessary to provide a good health care to the public. After developing a new QC program for effective maintenance of medical equipments and practicing it for a year, we report the results of the new program. Methods : The maintenance data of 9 equipments in 8 categories including a CT Scanner were analyzed with regard to the parts responsible for most frequent failure and cause of the failure. After learning the most frequent failure part and cause of the failure, we developed a new QC program that emphasizes preventive maintenance of the most frequent failure part. We compared the number of failure per year and active rate of each equipment before and after the adoption of the new QC program. Results : The average number of failure per year per equipment was 20.7 before and it decreased by 43% to 11.9 after adoption of the new QC program. The average active rate of the equipments was 92.6% before and it increased by 3.2% to 95.8% after adoption of the new program. Conclusions : The practice of the new QC program appears very useful as it decreased the failure rate and increased the active rate of the equipments.
