Media coverage of depression, the mental disorder, is on the high rise following the soaring number of reported celebrity suicide. This study is an exploratory attempt to get a glance on how online news media are portraying depression. The content analysis results indicate that celebrity was the most cited source, outnumbering the others such as non-celebrity patients and experts. More than half of the sample attributed the cause of depression to socio-psychological factors. Medical consultation was the most reported means of treating depression among the sample, while over the half did not suggest any treatment methods at all. Overall, celebrity related news were less likely to talk about the cause and treatment methods. In addition, the more neuro-biological factors were designated as the main cause of depression in the articles, the more chances of treatment method of all kinds were brought up. The frame of human interest dominated a little less than half of the articles examined, and only few reported positive outcome or achievements after coping with depression.

We developed an orofacial pains diagnosis/therapy system which can enlarge a therapy effect through a new stimulation. Contrary to its established method, this therapy system(DDTS-1) is a treating method which absorbs a surplus ion charge- the cause of an outbreak of a pain-of the human body using a capacitor. Absorbing a surplus ion charge of the human body with effect, it obtained optimal parameters which is control signal to control charging/discharging a capacitor to be 6Hz, and capacitance to be $0.1\~0.33{\mu}F.$ Through clinical demonstration, experimented on among patients-namely dental pain patients, joint disorders patients, and trigeminal neuralgia patients to verification of system. In result, an EAST stimulater had a very low change of abnormal potential against normal potential before/after being placed under medical care. DDTS-1 showed obvious differences that two potentials are one and the same potential or one potential is similar to the other one. DDTS-1 comparing with EAST showed the remedial value of the comparative advantage in all the medical treatment of pains. Therefore, stimulation of DDTS-1 is more effective than the existing electric stimulation. We verified its validity of ion charge absorption in the human body using capacitor which presented the present thesis. That is, we verified theoretical adequacy of control action in a pain, and its efficiency as well as confidence.

Child and adolescent depressive disorders are complex clinical problems. Although our knowledge of the epidemiology, clinical manifestation and etiology of child and adolescent depressive disorder has grown enormously, less has been established concerning effective managements for this disorder Some articles suggest that children and adolescents may require significant modification of adult treatment. This article reviews the range of available therapies for the condition add provides a systematic approach for the clinician. And guidelines f3r management of depression have been described. In conclusion, approaches to the treatment of this disorder must be comprehensive and broad-based to be successful. And practitioners should be encouraged to become skilled iii as many treatment as possible, because the needs of individual children and adolescents with depressive disorder and their families can vary greatly.

I. 목적 : Half beam을 이용하여 인접한 조사면 치료시, 경계부위에서 발생할 수 있는 Jaw Position에 의한 기하학적 오차는 정확한 선량전달에 문제를 일으킨다. 이에 본 저자는 QA용 필름을 이용하여 조사면 setting 방법과 조작자간의 오차를 분석하고 이를 최소화할 수 있는 방법을 찾고자 한다. II. 대상 및 방법 : 본 실험은 6MV선(CL2100C, Varian, USA)을 대상으로 하였으며, 폴리스틸렌팬톰($25{\times}25cm2$)을 SSD 100 cm으로 고정한 후, 측정용 필름(X-omat V2, Kodak, USA)을 5 cm 깊이에 위치 시켜 조사면의 중심에서 경계를 이루는 비대칭 조사면 ($0/7.5{\times}15,7.5/0{\times}15 cm$)을 쌍으로 조사하였다. 조사된 필름은 자동현상기를 이용하여 현상한 후 농도계(Densitometer, Multidata, USA)를 이용하여 중심축상에서의 농도분포를 측정하여 인접한 조사면에서의 오차를 분석하였다. 조작방법과 조작자간의 오차를 분석하기 위하여 5명의 방사선사를 대상으로 auto및 manual set-up을 실시하였고 각 방법의 평균 오차를 분석하기 위해 5회 반복하였다. III. 결과 : 필름 농도곡선을 이용하여 두 조사면이 만나는 경계에서의 오차를 분석한 결과, remote console set-up의 경우 주변 조사면에 비해 $-0.16{\pm}3.44\%$, pendant방식에서는 $+5.04{\pm}4.37\%$로 나타났고, 조작자간의 유의성이 관찰되었다. IV. 결론 : 비대칭 조사면을 이용한 근접 조사면의 치료시 pendant 방식보다 remote console 방식에서 오차가 적 게 나타나므로 Auto set-up 기능의 이용은 치료시에 조사면 경계에서의 선량 오차를 최소한으로 줄이는데 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다. 또한 manual 방식으로 set-up 시 오차의 편차가 크게 나타나므로 치료시에 세심한 주의가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Hypofractionated radiotherapy prescribes high dose once. Due to this there's a bad point that patients are exposed much dose in normal organ. But recently the study making up for a limit is continuing. Cause of preference of this kind of development of therapy technic and high-energy photon beam, patients can be exposed to additional radiation. Because photoneutron is created by photonuclear reaction. So, in this study I measured photoneutron and analyzed by DVH amounts of radiation from the treatment plan that was used to acute, metastatic pelvis cancer patients who was treated by hypofractionated radiotherapy applied IMRT. As a result, incidence of photoneutron based on the hypofractionated radiotherapy was not a big difference in proportion to the dose fractionation. Protective effects of normal organ by hypofractionated radiotherapy applying IMRT is relatively high compared to 3D CRT but also photoneutron was in created. So a proper treatment plan and a best therapy should be considerated.

The aim of this study is focused on knowing what bibliotherapists experience while they are in a session with their clients in library settings. Qualitative interviews were conducted as the main research tool or method used for this study. The study participants included 12 bibliotherapist respondents specializing in library. They were divided into two groups of 6 and each group was interviewed for approximately 2 to 3 hours. The interview employed a question asking methodology modified from that presented and/or originally used by Kruger and Casey(2000). The interview utilized open ended questions in the order of starting, introduction, main, and ending questions. Analyses of the interviews were based on methods presented by Morgan and Scannell(1998). Results of the study show that experiences through therapy sessions consisted of 7 different themes, 26 specific categories, and 84 unique concepts. The purpose of the study was to observe the problems bibliotherapist have or may encounter in library settings, provide feedback to make each session better, and as a result, help both the library and bibliotherapist during the bibliotherapy process.

Iatrogenic injury of the vertebral artery during cervical spine surgery though uncommon is critical. With advances in interventional endovascular techniques, the therapeutic approach for vertebral artery injuries has changed. Nonetheless, an established strategy for their management is lacking. We report a case of pseudoaneurysm due to vertebral artery injury, during cervical spine surgery for a tumor, that was treated successfully with endovascular coiling in a plug-and-patch fashion after triple stenting failed.

In this study the skin care system was designed and tested by introducing V-IPL(Variable-Intense Pulse Light) methods that allow various skin treatments. The discharge method, a new method of switching on the flash lamp sequentially according to the lesions, was used. Pulse shape control is implemented in the system using the conventional LC variable method and the switching method control method of the switching element. As a result, the pulse width could be varied up to 1[㎛] by using a microprocessor, and by turning on the flash lamp sequentially along the lesions the depth and width, the pulse shape and pulse shape could be more diverse. We could also make long pulses of up to 1~100[ms] in various pulse width. And the special differences between the existing system and the proposed system in this study are as follow. Existing system is one pulse(pulse width : 1~40ms) and proposed system is three pulse(pulse width : 1~100ms).

As one of photo dynamic therapies, the existing LED photo irradiation method with 635 nm continuous wave has most frequently been used for acne treatment, it suffered from a low energy efficiency and generation of a large amount of heat in tissues requiring improvement measures. In this thesis, a LED photo irradiation system for acne treatment has been designed using PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) mode to enhance the energy efficiency and prevent thermal destruction in tissues. System configuration consisting largely of timer module, PWM module, and photo transfer device has been designed with the use of 1 W LED at a wavelength of 660 nm for the photo transfer device to increase skin penetration depth for treatment of acne. Frequency and wave form generated by using PWM control was verified along with confirmation of output energy of 660 nm LED and surface temperatures of tissues, followed by evaluation of stable energy outputs and stability of tissues. The results indicated that whereas power loss was high and thermal destruction in tissues was exhibited when C.W mode was used to obtain the optical energy of 1 W LED at a wavelength of 660 nm for acne treatment, realization of PWM mode allowed lowering of power consumption for LED through pulse width modulation, and no occurrence of thermal destruction in tissues, suggesting that PWM mode is safer and more effective for treatment of acne than C.W mode.
