Various medicinal plants were examined as resources for antidiabetic biomaterials, using an oriental medicinal database. The prescription frequency and dosage of medicinal plants in 131 antidiabetic prescriptions were analyzed. Total prescription score of each medical plant was summed up from prescription table and score table. High-scored medicinal plants have been widely studied in the previous research on the diabetic treatment. Consequently, dangui, hwangryun, maekmoondong, ginseng, chick, saengjihwang, omija, bokryung, Jimo and cheonhwaboon were assumed to have high antidiabetic activities.

In this study, the author examined medical information management research trends in abroad and Korea from the perspectives of library and information science. LISA was used to collect research data in abroad from 2007 to 2010 (a total of 225 research articles). Korean studies were investigated using DBPIA to compare research trends. Content analysis results based on subject category show that research in abroad increased consistently and electronic resources and collection-related subjects were frequently studied. In Korea, the electronic resources and collection-related research proportion was also high, and much research was done in the areas of bibliometrics. However, medical information management researches did not increase in Korea between 2000 and 2010.

The discriminating power of journal evaluation criteria of Korean medical journals were measured. The study used the data of 76 medical journals, collected in the "Korean Medical Journal Evaluation" process conducted by the Korean Association of Medical Journal Editors (KAMJE) between 1997 and 1999. For each evaluation criterion, the distribution of the individual score vs the total score of a journal received was plotted and their correlations were analyzed. It is found that the evaluation criteria with a high discriminating power are the ones associated with the peer review system and the journal editing. The evaluation criteria with a low discriminating power are the journal frequency and how often a chief editor is changed. Some evaluation criteria such as "Journal holding rates of medical libraries" and "year-end index" need modifications in the evaluation methods. Other evaluation criteria such as "Journal self-citation rate","SCI citation rate" and "SCI impact factor" need to modify the score ranges. It is recommended that the new evaluation criteria such as "citation rate by Korean medical journals" and "Access availability of the journal information through major Korean medical abstract databases" should be added.formation through major Korean medical abstract databases" should be added.dded.

Developed countries are operating an in-depth database in motor vehicle crashes nationwide. They do not rely solely on the police investigation reports that are responsible for motor vehicle crashes in each country but are developing into a useful database by expanding the categories of data through more indicators addition. In Korea, after implementing comprehensive measures to reduce traffic accident deaths in 2013, the medical centers participated in establishing the actual accident investigation system, which was called as the Korean In-Depth Accident Study (hereinafter KIDAS). This KIDAS database included more in-depth indicators as the types of accidents, types of vehicles, the injury severity, adequacy of safety devices, seating position of passengers. Although there are difficulties in establishing an actual accident investigation system including data collection due to various restrictions, if the system can cooperate with each other such as medical centers, insurance companies, police, fire and rescue services, towing companies, and car repair shops in the future, It would be expected to contribute to the development of safer vehicle, treatment system and traffic safety policy that lower the injury severity of occupant in the event of a motor vehicle crashes.

This paper reports on the development of an automatic book classification system using the faced classification principles of CC(Colon Classification). To conduct this study, some 670 words in the botanical field were selected, analyzed in terms [P], [M], [E], [S], [T] employed in CC 7, and included in a database for classification. The principle of an automatic classification system is to create classification numbers automatically through automatic subject recognition and processing of key words in titles through the facet combination method of CC. Particularly, a classification database was designed along with a matrix-principle specifying the subject field for each word, which can allow automatic subject recognition possible.

기존의 온톨로지 구축에 관한 연구들을 살펴보면 개념의 상 하위 관계와 관련한 연구 또는 기구축된 도메인에 특화된 지식베이스에 기반한 도메인 온톨로지 구축 연구가 주를 이룬다. 그러나 개념과 개념간의 관계는 상 하위 구조와 같은 단순한 계층적 구조로는 그 다양한 특성을 표현할 수 없으며, 도메인 온톨로지를 구축하는 경우에 기구축된 데이터베이스와 같은 개념간 관계가 잘 정의된 데이터는 반드시 필요하였다. 예를 들면, 다양한 지식이 구축되어 있는 데이터베이스나 특정 도메인에 관한 전문 사이트(예 : 의학정보, 약학정보 사이트) 등이 있어야 개념간의 다양한 관계가 표현되어 있는 온톨로지를 구축할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 도메인 온톨로지를 구축함에 있어서 이러한 제약을 극복하기 위하여 도메인에 특화된 문서들을 웹 검색을 통하여 수집하였고, 수집된 문서 데이터를 이용하여 자동으로 도메인에 특화된 개념들을 추출하고 이들 개념들을 클러스터링함으로써 개념들간의 다양한 관계를 표현할 수 있는 도메인 온톨로지의 자동 구축 가능성을 제시한다.

게놈 프로젝트가 완성된 후 2년여가 지난 지금, 단백질체학(Proteomics)의 분야로서 기능분석위주로 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그 중에서도 동물계에서 면역 체계를 구성하는 가장 핵심 적 인 요소로서 항체를 뽑고 있고 가장 활발하게 연구되고 있다. 현재. 세계적으로 구입이 가능한 연구용 항체 (Antibody)의 수는 약 70만종 정도로서 그 수는 생물학의 발전속도에 비례하여 급격히 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 항체는 생물학의 기초 연구 도구로서 뿐만 아니라 질환의 진단 및 치료제는 물론 산업 적으로도 그 활용가치가 큰 생물자원으로서 그 가치 가 점차 중요하게 부각되고 있다. 향후 전개될 단백질체학의 주요 연구도구로서 항체가 맞춤의학을 위한 신약개발이나 신규단백질 동정에 필요한 항체칩(Immune-chip)등을 생산할 목적으로 항체데이터베이스를 구축하는 것이며 항체의 기본적 인 정보들은 앞으로 연구자의 연구방향에 지대한 영향으로 미칠 것으로 사료된다.

Objectives This study aimed to analyze the research trends in clinical studies on the traditional Korean medicine used for cancer treatment between 2011 and 2020. Methods We searched 7 Korean web databases (Research Information Sharing Service [RISS], Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System [OASIS], Koreanstudies Information Service System [KISS], Korean Medical database [KMBASE], DBpia, Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information [KISTI], and KoreaMed) and classified collected papers dated between 2011 and 2020 by the year of publication, publication journal, study design, type of cancer affecting the patients, interventions used, evaluation system used, and combination with conventional medicine. Results A total of 167 papers were collected. More than 10 papers were published annually. The papers were mainly published in the Journal of Korean Traditional Oncology (28.7%). The predominant type of the study was case study (67.7%). The main type of cancer was breast cancer, affecting 262 patients. Most of the studies reported using multiple traditional Korean medicine treatments (55.1%). Eighty-nine studies reported using clinical laboratory tests for evaluation. Most of the patients took conventional medicine simultaneously (608 patients). Conclusions Research related to Korean medicine for cancer patients is at a rudimentary level. Therefore, for further clarity, high evidence-based researches, including randomized controlled trials and cohort studies, should be conducted.

Longitudinal data can provide important evidence with the potential to stimulate innovation and affect policies in medical education and can serve as a driving force for further developments in medical education through evidence-based decisions. Tracking and observing cohorts of students and graduates using longitudinal data can be a way to link the past, present, and future of medical education. This study reviewed practical methods and technical, administrative, and ethical considerations for the establishment and operation of a longitudinal database and presented examples of longitudinal databases. Cohort study design methods and previous examples of research using longitudinal databases to explore major topics in medical education were also reviewed. The implications of this study are as follows: (1) a systematic design process is required to establish longitudinal data, and each university should engage in ongoing deliberation about this issue; (2) efforts are needed to alleviate "survey fatigue" among respondents and reduce the administrative burden of those conducting data collection and analysis; (3) it is necessary to regularly review issues of personal information protection, data security, and ethics regarding the survey respondents; and (4) a system should be established that integrates and manages a longitudinal database of medical education at the national level. The hope is that establishing longitudinal data and cohorts at individual medical schools will not be a temporary phenomenon, but rather that they will be well utilized at the national level to innovate and implement ongoing changes in medical education.
