  • Medical leech therapy is a treatment for the venous congestion of tissue flaps, grafts, and replants. We report a case of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) following leech application at a congested flap after mastectomy. A 45-year-old woman had an invasive ductal carcinoma. Modified radical mastectomy was performed. The chest wall defect was reconstructed with a local rotation flap. On postoperative day (POD) 1, congestion and color change were observed, and 10 medical leeches were applied to the congested area. On POD 4, another 10 medical leeches were applied. On POD 12, wound necrosis progressed and a pus-like discharge appeared. A wound swab culture revealed MRSA. Debridement was carried out on POD 15. From POD 16, vancomycin and piperacillin/tazobactam were injected for 18 days. The wound culture on POD 18 also revealed MRSA. A split-thickness skin graft was performed on POD 28. MRSA has not been clearly identified in the literature as a leech enteric bacterium. Although MRSA may have come from another source, the present case raises the possibility of MRSA infections following leech application at congested flaps. When medical leeches are applied at the congestion site of a flap, an aseptic cradle will be helpful. Vancomycin irrigation may be needed if infection occurs.

  • Objectives : The purpose and application method of the five kinds of Gagamjeong-gisan in the Onbyeongjobyeon were analyzed and their significance was examined. Methods : First, contents within medical texts on the Gwakhyangjeong-gisan, the original formula for the Gagamjeong-gisan were analyzed. Next, application, symptoms and pathogenic mechanism, treatment principle, composition of the Gagamjeong-gisan as written in the Onbyeongjobyeon were analyzed. Characteristics of each formula as deduced from this process were compared and examined. Results : The Gwakhyangjeong-gisan covers both external contraction and internal damage, applied regardless of external or internal symptoms. It restores the Yang qi of the Spleen and Stomach, balancing the Zheng qi to respond to the external qi. The Gagamjeong-gisan takes after the Gwakhyangjeong-gisan, reflecting such properties. However, the latter differs in that it excludes ingredients unfit for treating dampness-warmth, and uses different application methods according to the level of discharge of dampness pathogen. Conclusions : The Gagamjeong-gisan is modified from the Gwakhyangjeong-gisan, which is applied to cold damage and internal damage to better treat warm disease. It can be said to have acted as a bridge for warm disease scholars in composing formulas that deal with dampness-heat disease.

  • 본 연구는 3차원 입체정위 유방생검술의 정확도를 알아보고, 심부침생검을 이용하여 Stereotactic biopsy과 Sonoguided biopsy의 정확도와 정밀도를 평가하고자 한다. Stereotactic QC phantom을 이용하여 실제 5개의 target 위치로 3D sterotactic machine의 정확도를 측정하고, CT장비로 Scan하여 실측을 구해 X, Y, Z의 길이의 정밀도를 비교한다. 유방조직과 유사하게 제작한 Agar power phantom을 이용하여 5개의 각기 다른 needle tip Target을 통해 3D sterotactic machine과 2D ultrasound machine의 정확도를 비교하고, Z축을 장비별로 실측하여 정밀도와 신뢰도를 비교하며, 6개의 모조병소 Target을 심어놓은 Medical application phantom으로 표적하여 육안검사와 Specimen검사를 통해 정확도를 확인하였다. Stereotactic QC phantom으로 측정한 3D sterotactic machine의 정확도는 100%였으며, CT와 비교한 정밀도는 X, Y, Z축이 모두 p>0.05로 나타났다. Agar powder phantom으로 측정한 두 장비의 정확도는 100%의 정확도를 보였으며, CT와 두 장비 사이에는 p > 0.05로 차이가 없었다. 그러나 2명의 방사선사가 측정한 신뢰도분석에서 3D sterotactic machine은 ICC가 0.954였고, 2D ultrasound machine은 0.785로 2D ultrasound machine이 술자에 따라 차이가 있었다. Medical application phantom의 실험에서 3D sterotactic machine은 Sliced boneless ham을, 2D ultrasound machine은 small chalk powder group를 찾을 수 없었다. Phantom을 이용한 3차원 입체정위 유방생검술의 정확성은 우수하게 나타났고, 인체조직과 비슷한 Agar powder phantom과 유방 조직과 비슷한 Medical application phantom을 이용하여 Stereotactic biopsy과 Sonoguided biopsy의 정확도와 정밀도 모두 우수하게 나타났다. 또한 Medical application phantom의 심부침생검의 정확성 평가에서 각 검사에 따라 생검 표본이 병소의 형태에 따라 상이하게 채취되었고, 3차원 입체정위 유방생검술의 재현성이 유방 초음파검사보다 술자의 영향없이 우수하였다.

  • Since the execution of National Health Insurance system in Taiwan, the competition of medical industry is becoming more and more severe. The ways the hospital operate knowledge management (KM) concept, combine current human resources and professional knowledge by information techniques and upgrade the competitiveness through reinvention of organizational culture have become the important issues. This research is based on the relationship between KM and organizational operation, integrates the characteristic of medical institutions and framework of medical knowledge cycle and starts the research subject by questionnaires from three dimensions: current situation of KM construction in medical organizations, executive effect of KM activities and the challenges faced by KM; subsequently, from qualitative interview, this research attempts to understand how a medical organization executes and adjusts in the consideration of theory and reality as well as quality and costs when actually operates the organization. This research accesses to KM system application of medical institutions and the empirical executive benefits and difficulties through questionnaires. The research results are as follows: (1) having initial understanding toward current KM establishment of medical institutions; (2) confirming the most important items of KM establishment of medical organizations; (3) understanding the most difficulty which the medical organizations encounter when executing KM; (4) establishing medical knowledge cycle figure of the hospitals receiving interviews. Through case interview, this research profoundly accessed to the actual operation of KM application of medical organizations. The target hospitals intended to try many medical KM measures; however, during to complicated hospital organizations and cultural characteristics, the promotion was not successful and the results were not apparent. The most difficulty was to change the employees’ behavior. The targets believed that only the continuous promotion of KM can allow it to be an important aspect of organizational culture and the competitiveness could constant be upgraded.

  • This study focuses on analyzing medical device standards and regulatory requirements in the medical device industry, based on the Medical Device Act in Korea. The objective of this analysis is to determine whether the domestic standards for medical devices in Korea align with international and regional standards. Furthermore, it aims to identify the current application of domestic standards in ensuring the safety and essential performance of medical devices. The analysis revealed that out of a total of 281 domestic standards, 127 standards reference international standards. In terms of the application of domestic standards to specific items, there were 473 types of instruments/machines, 30 types of medical supplies, and 45 types of dental materials. However, the level of compliance with international standards among the domestic medical device standards was only 21%. Upon detailed analysis, general and collateral standards accounted for 24%, while particular standards accounted for 19%. This indicates a significant deviation from the latest international standards. On the other hand, the level of compliance with international standards was analyzed to be 60% for particular standards and 72% for general and collateral standards in Korean industrial standards (KS). Considering these results, the disparities between domestic standards and international standards underscore the need for discussions on domestic medical device regulation and standardization. In conclusion, this study emphasizes the significance of maintaining up-to-date medical device standards and ensuring their alignment with international standards to ensure the safety and quality of medical devices. The findings highlight the necessity for further efforts to strengthen the domestic standardization system in order to promote the development of safe and high-quality medical devices.
