So far, DW(data warehouse) of hospital has been used as tool for analyzing patient-focused data. However, EMR(Electronic Medical Record) is established these days, so informal data which is record and video record could be useful to get some information for patient remedy, not as DW data. This study claims that need of establishing treatment-focused DW, not for hospital administration-focused DW which has been used lots of hospital DW. Also we discussed how CDW can be applied for real medication situation. At last, we deduct a relation past record of sick and wounded patient as Thesaurus searching method by real hospital data for establishing base of early-treatment system.

We report here on an uncommon case of mediastinitis that occurred after central venous catheterization. A patient with colon and jejunal cancer complained high fever, right shoulder pain, chest pain, and limited motion of the affected shoulder just 6 days after central venous catheterization. Bacterial culture of the blood, shoulder abscess, and catheter puncture site revealed methicillin-resistent staphylococcus aureus. Right upper mediastinal widening on chest film also suggested mediatinitis. Mediastiotomy and pus drainage was performed along with adequate antibiotics therapy. In this case, it seems that initially formed bacteria from the puncture site migrated to the mediastinum through the tissue plane to start the mediastinitis. Careful dressing of puncture site and correct handling of catheter is important to prevent this serious complication.

Bruxism이란, 일반적으로 기능이외의 목적으로 상하악 치아를 악물거나 갈음질 하는 것이라고 정의된다. 동일한 상태를 서술하는 용어로 neuralgia traumatica, Karolyi effect, occlusal habit neurosis, parafunction 등이 있으며, 수면중의 이갈음질을 bruxism, 주간의 습관성 이갈음질을 bruxomania로 구분하기로 한다. 또한 centric bruxism과 eccentric bruxism으로 분류하기도 한다. eccentric bruxism은 통상적 의미의 수면중의 bruxism이며, 하악의 측방운동중의 이갈음질이고 뽀드득하는 갈음질 소리를 냄, 저작근육의 긴장도가 증가되어 있으면서 등장성수축을 나타내고, 비중심위의(eccentric) 교합간섭이 주요 유발인자인 반면에 centric bruxism은 중심교합위에서 상하악 치아를 간헐적으로 악무는 것(clenching)은 의미하고 - 지속적으로 악무고 있는 것은 clamping이라고 함.- 주로 주간에 행하며 갈음질소리를 들을 수 없고, 역시 저자근육의 긴장도가 증가되어 있으며 등률성수축을 나타내고, 중심교합위에 근접하여 존재하는 교두간섭이 유발인자이다. bruxism이나 clenching과 부정교합의 관계는 bruxism과 clenching은 부정교합을 야기할 수 있고, 부정교합도 역시 bruxism과 clenching을 유발시키는 작용을 할 수 있는 악순환적 관계이다. 현저한 부정교합을 가지고 있는 bruxism환자의 교정치료는 그 목적이 bruxism의 치료라기보다는 오히려 부정교합의 치료이며 부차적으로 bruxism의 치료를 기대하게 된다. 그러나 bruxism이 장기간 지속되어 치아 및 그 주위조직, 악관절과 신경근계에 심한 손상을 주었을때의 교정치료는 일반적으로 제한을 받을 뿐만아니라 bruxism의 처치에는 거의 무의미한 치료가 될 수 있다. 따라서 거자는 bruxism 환자의 교정치료라는 제목의 원고 청탁을 받았으나 편집위원의 양해아래 장치를 이용한 bruxism의 치료에 관하여 서술하려 한다.

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.

This study is a descriptive research study to determine the mediating effect of anxiety in the relationship between patient care communication and patient satisfaction among hospitalized patients. Data was collected using self-administered questionnaires from October to December 2021. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and hierarchical multiple regression using the SPSS 24.0 program, and the effectiveness of the mediation effect was tested using the Sobel test. As a result of the study, there was a positive correlation between patient care communication and patient satisfaction, and a negative correlation between patient care communication and anxiety. And there was also a negative correlation between patient satisfaction and anxiety. In the relationship between patient care communication and patient satisfaction, anxiety had a partial mediating effect (z=2.93, p<.001), with an explanatory power of 38.4%. In order to improve patient satisfaction based on the results of this study, it is necessary to develop a program that can improve nurses' patient care communication capabilities and reduce patients' anxiety.

[ $\underline{Purpose}$ ]: The purpose of this study is to develop a practical method for determining accurate marker positions for prostate cancer radiotherapy using CT images and kV x-ray images obtained from the use of the on- board imager (OBI). $\underline{Materials\;and\;Methods}$: Three gold seed markers were implanted into the reference position inside a prostate gland by a urologist. Multiple digital image processing techniques were used to determine seed marker position and the center-of-mass (COM) technique was employed to determine a representative reference seed marker position. A setup discrepancy can be estimated by comparing a computed $COM_{OBI}$ with the reference $COM_{CT}$. A proposed algorithm was applied to a seed phantom and to four prostate cancer patients with seed implants treated in our clinic. $\underline{Results}$: In the phantom study, the calculated $COM_{CT}$ and $COM_{OBI}$ agreed with $COM_{actual}$ within a millimeter. The algorithm also could localize each seed marker correctly and calculated $COM_{CT}$ and $COM_{OBI}$ for all CT and kV x-ray image sets, respectively. Discrepancies of setup errors between 2D-2D matching results using the OBI application and results using the proposed algorithm were less than one millimeter for each axis. The setup error of each patient was in the range of $0.1{\pm}2.7{\sim}1.8{\pm}6.6\;mm$ in the AP direction, $0.8{\pm}1.6{\sim}2.0{\pm}2.7\;mm$ in the SI direction and $-0.9{\pm}1.5{\sim}2.8{\pm}3.0\;mm$ in the lateral direction, even though the setup error was quite patient dependent. $\underline{Conclusion}$: As it took less than 10 seconds to evaluate a setup discrepancy, it can be helpful to reduce the setup correction time while minimizing subjective factors that may be user dependent. However, the on-line correction process should be integrated into the treatment machine control system for a more reliable procedure.

Total implanted central venous port (TIAP, Chemoport) is widely used in oncology patients because it does not require external dressing and restricts patient activity. Chemoport only requires monthly flushes of heparinized saline to keep the patency of the catheter and probably less prone to infectious complications than tunneled catheter. Despite the extensive use of permanent central venous access in oncology patients, there are only few reports about clinical experience of the Groshong catheter. The purpose of this study is to compare the complication rate between the traditional open-ended (non-valved) chemoports and valved chemoports (Groshong catheter connected to TIAP). During 5 years (Jan 2006 to May 2010), 438 patients received chemoport insertion procedure in our interventional radiology department. Among them 30 patients was referred to our department for problematic chemoports. We compared the cause of problematic chemoports between two types of chemoports (valved, vs. non-valved). Valved chemoports had higher referral rates than non-valved chemoports. When there is a need to insert valved port, different method of insertion and maintenance procedure seems to be necessary. More than 20 ml of flusing with heparinized saline after blood sampling could be a good suggestion. Adequate care of chemoport is essential for long patency. Also following the guideline from the manufacturing company is necessary.
