요실금은 자신의 의지와는 무관하게 소변이 나오는 배뇨이상으로 삶의 질을 떨어뜨리는 대표적인 여성 질환이다. 치료방법 중 자기장을 이용한 치료는 자발적인 운동을 요구하지 않고, 수치심을 유발하지 않으며, 감염의 위험이 없기 때문에 가장 높은 발전 가능성을 가지고 있다. 하지만 획일화된 치료 프로토콜, 환자 의존적 치료방법, 환자 상태 평가 부재 등의 개선점도 갖고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 자기장을 이용하여 골반저근을 자극하고, 치료 중 환자의 상태 변화를 실시간 모니터링하는 시스템을 제안하였다. 또한, 환자의 요실금 정도에 따른 환자 맞춤형 자기장 치료 시스템을 제안하였다. 제안된 시스템은 자기장 발생장치, 냉각장치, 치료의자, 맥박 모니터링을 이용한 환자 감시 장치, 제어 소프트웨어로 구성되었으며, 시뮬레이션을 통한 고전력 시스템 설계 과정과 개발 후 성능 평가를 수행하였다. 제어 소프트웨어 개발을 통하여 사용의 편의성과 관리의 편의성을 확보하였으며, 환자의 증상별 치료 프로토콜을 적용하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 개발된 환자 모니터링을 포함한 환자 맞춤형 자기장 치료 시스템은 자기장 치료에서 발생할 수 있는 위험성을 줄이고, 환자의 증상에 맞게 패턴화된 치료법을 제시함으로써 요실금 자기장 치료의 효율성을 높일 수 있고, 전/후 치료를 통하여 환자에게 보다 접근된 치료법이라고 판단되었다. 이러한 결과는 요실금 환자들에게 보다 안전하고 체계적인 치료법을 제공하며, 요실금 자기장 치료 방법의 다양한 연구를 유도할 수 있을 것으로 사료되었다.

The recent advances in the basic hematology and immunology have significantly enhanced the understanding of histiocytic disorders. The Histiocyte Society which was established in 1985 enabled the randomized trials for these diseases, and important knowledge regarding pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnosis, therapy and late consequences has been obtained. The treatment of Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) has varied greatly over last decades, and is still controversial. Therapy can be reduced for low risk patients, and it is possible to discriminate early the non-responding patients with risk disease who might require more intensified treatment. Current therapy of LCH recommended by the Histiocyte Society (LCH-III protocol) is activated in 2001. Hemophaocytic histiocytosis (HLH) is fatal if diagnosis is delayed and appropriate therapy is not instituted rapidly. The diagnostic criteria for HLH is revised by the Histiocyte Society for the current treatment protocol (HLH-2004) which consists of dexamethasone, etoposide, and cyclosporin in combination with intathecal methotrexate. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is usually necessary for the primary HLH and recurrent secondary HLH.

This paper describes the evaluation of the effectiveness of rehabilitation therapy for patients with finger paralysis based on a two-finger force measurement system (TFFMS). The paralyzed fingers can be recovered through rehabilitation therapies. The finger pressing force of the patients can be measured utilizing the TFFMS previously developed by the author [7]. The TFFMS, however, has not been fully adopted as a standard method for evaluating the therapy owing to the lack of a standard protocol. The pressing force of healthy volunteers and patients is analyzed with the TFFMS to explore the feasibility of the TFFMS as an evaluation device. The test confirms that the established standard protocol is useful to quantitatively assess the progress of finger rehabilitation therapy.

This study proposes an execution protocol for fashion therapy. Research on fashion therapy are limited and insufficient for the current need for the establishment of a fashion therapy theory. This study introduces cognitive behavior therapy, embodied cognition, and object relations theory as theories that underlie fashion therapy. A fashion therapy system model is provided based on the analysis of art therapy to explore its applicability to fashion therapy. The fashion therapy system model utilizes fashion items to managing pain and stress to better competence, encouragement and self-expression mechanisms to improve social, psychological, emotional and behavioral functions. In addition, 8 phases of the fashion therapy process (inquiry, forming rapport, assessment, goal-objective, observation, selection of strategy and design, practice, and the final evaluation and closing of fashion therapy) are suggested for developing a practical fashion therapy program. This study is to help overcome a negative perspective on fashion that provokes an excessive spending behavior and to make a practical contribution by creating more social value through fashion. The significance of the study is in the attempt to create an interdisciplinary approach of psychotherapy and fashion that can be extend into the fashion and textile discipline.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to report the clinical improvement of a patient who underwent arthroscopic Bankart repair using a rehabilitation protocol involving Korean medicine. Methods: The patient was treated with acupuncture, cupping, Korean Medicine, Chuna therapy, and Doin exercise therapy during the admission period. To estimate the patient's status, we used the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), Pain Disability Index (PDI), assessments of the range of motion (ROM) and Muscle Manual Test (MMT) for the shoulder joint. Results: After administering the abovementioned treatments, we found that the patient's NRS, PDI, and ROM and MMT for the shoulder joint were improved. Conclusions: The rehabilitation protocol involving Korean medicine can be applied to and produce good results for patients who undergo arthroscopic repair for Bankart lesions. The limitation of the study was that the number of cases we studied was insufficient to prove the effectiveness. Hence, further studies are needed for designing the rehabilitation protocol involving Korean medicine.

효과적인 온열치료를 제공하기 위해선 품질관리는 필수적이지만, 하지만, 국내의 경우 온열 치료 시스템에 이상이 발생할 경우 제조사 및 판매대행사에서 수리 및 유지 보수를 해주고 있어, 국내 실정에 맞는 QA 프로토콜이 존재하지 않는다. 본 연구에서는 European Society for Hyperthermia Oncology (ESHO), Hellenic Society of Oncologic Hyperthermia (HSOH) 등의 기관에서 권고하는 QA 가이드라인과 국내에서 온열 치료 시스템을 보유하고 있는 기관에 설문지를 배포한 결과를 기반으로 국내에 도입된 온열 치료 시스템에 최적화된 품질관리 프로토콜을 개발함으로써 온열 치료의 온도 계측, 장비구동, 온도 전달 등에서 발생할 수 있는 오차와 부정확성을 감소시키고자 하며, 이로 인해 암 치료율을 증가시키고 부작용과 재발률을 감소시켜 치료 효과를 향상시키고자 한다. 또한, 한국에서 온열 치료 시스템을 보유한 병원에 방문하여 본 연구를 기반으로 품질관리를 수행할 예정이며, 측정된 결과를 이용하여 허용 오차 및 정확한 set-up parameter들을 구체화하는 연구를 진행할 예정이다.

Background: Recent studies have demonstrated the benefits of off-pump coronary bypass grafting over the on-pump technique in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). To further reduce the risk of acute kidney injury and the need for renal replacement therapy, even in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting, we adopted protocol-based perioperative management for patients with CKD. Methods: From December 2012 to March 2015, 265 patients underwent isolated off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. To analyze renal function in a stable condition, we excluded 12 dialysis-dependent end stage renal failure and 10 emergency or urgent cases. Among the remaining 243 patients, 208 patients had normal kidney function (normal group), and 35 patients had CKD (CKD group). Minimizing contrast exposure, ensuring adequate hydration, using strict drug dosage adjustment, and optimizing hemodynamic status were key elements of the protocol for the CKD group. Results: The risk of acute kidney injury was about ${\times}3$ higher in the CKD group than in the normal group (p=0.01). Estimated glomerular filtration rates and serum creatinine levels deteriorated until the third postoperative day in the CKD group. However, by adopting protocol-based perioperative management, this transient renal dysfunction recovered to preoperative levels by the fifth postoperative day without requiring renal replacement therapy in all cases. Conclusion: Off-pump coronary bypass surgery combined with this protocol-based perioperative management strategy in patients with non-dialysis-dependent CKD could mostly be performed without renal replacement therapy.

Common dental procedures (local anesthesia and dental treatment) are potentially stress-inducing in many patients, especially medically compromised patients. The body response to dental stress involves the cardiovascular system (an increase in cardiovascular workload), the respiratory organ and the endocrine system (change in metabolism). To minimize the stress to the medical risk patient, the stress reduction protocol was established. The obtained contents were as follows: (1) Recognize the patient's degree of medical risk (2) Complete medical consultation before dental therapy (3) Schedule the patient's appointment in the morning (4) Monitor and record preoperative, perioperative and postoperative vital signs (5) Use psychosedation during therapy (6) Use adequate pain control during therapy (7) Short length of appointment: do not exceed the patient's limits of tolerance (8) Follow up with postoperative pain/anxiety control (9) Telephone the higher medical risk patient later on the same day that treatment was given. This protocol is predicated on the belief that the prevention of or reduction of stress ought to begin before the start of an appointment, continue throughout treatment, and, if indicated, into the postoperative period. The authors used the stress reduction protocol in the care of local anesthesia infected teeth in medically compromised patients. The final prognosis was comfortable without any complications.

목 적 : 1990년 Mendoza등이 스테로이드 저항성 FSGS에서 Mendoza protocol에 의한 장기간의 MP 충격 요법이 효과적임을 보고한 이후 이 치료법의 효과에 대한 보고가 있어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 cyclosporin이나 cyclophosphamide를 먼저 사용하지 않은 스테로이드 저항성 FSGS에서 Mendoza protocol 에 의한 장기간의 MP 충격 요법의 치료 효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 1986년부터 2006년 사이에 세브란스병원 소아과에서 스테로이드 저항성 FSGS를 진단 받고 MP 충격 요법을 시행했던 10명의 환아를 후향적으로 분석하였다. 결 과 : 평균 발병 연령은 2.6세였으며 치료 시작시의 평균 연령은 5.7세였다. 치료 종료 후 평균 추적 관찰 기간은 35개월이었다 치료 종료 후 5명에서 완전 관해가 유도되었으며(50%) 2명에서 부분 관해가 유도되었으나(20%) 이 중 1명은 후에 재발하였다. 3명은 치료에 반응하지 않았으며(30%) 이 중 2명은 치료 중 말기 신부전으로 진행하여 신이식을 시행하였다. 결 론 : Mendoza protocol에 의한 장기간의 MP 충격 요법은 현재까지의 연구 결과에서는 cyclosporin A, cyclophosphamide를 먼저 투여하지 않고 최초 치료로 사용할 경우 그 치료 효과가 좋지 않았으나 본 연구에서는 50% 정도로 효과를 보이고 있으므로 스테로이드 저항성 FSGS 환아의 초기 치료에 사용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 또한 cyclosporin A 또는 cyclophosphamide를 먼저 사용하고 효과가 없는 경우 MP 충격 요법을 시작하는 경우에도 치료 효과는 좋을 것으로 생각 할 수 있다.
