Purpose: The traditional ethical study only suggests a blurred insight on the research using medical big data, especially in this rapid-changing and demanding environment which is called "4th Industry Revolution." Current institutional/ethical issues in big data research need to approach with the thoughtful insight of past ethical study reflecting the understanding of present conditions of this study. This study aims to examine the ethical issues that are emerging in recent health care big data research. So, this study aims to survey the public perceptions on of health care big data as part of the process of public discourse and the acceptance of the utility and provision of big data research as a subject of health care information. In addition, the emerging ethical challenges and how to comply with ethical principles in accordance with principles of the Belmont report will be discussed. Methods: Survey was conducted from June 3th August to 6th September 2020. The online survey was conducted through voluntary participation through Internet users. A total of 319 people who completed the survey (±5.49%P [95% confidence level] were analyzed. Results: In the area of the public's perspective, the survey showed that the medical information is useful for new medical development, but it is also necessary to obtain consents from subjects in order to use that medical information for various research purposes. In addition, many people were more concerned about the possibility of re-identifying personal information in medical big data. Therefore, they mentioned the necessity of transparency and privacy protection in the use of medical information. Conclusion: Big data on medical care is a core resource for the development of medicine directly related to human life, and it is necessary to open up medical data in order to realize the public good. But the ethical principles should not be overlooked. The right to self-determination must be guaranteed by means of clear, diverse consent or withdrawal of subjects, and processed in a lawful, fair and transparent manner in the processing of personal information. In addition, scientific and ethical validity of medical big data research is indispensable. Such ethical healthcare data is the only key that will lead to innovation in the future.

Study Design: Case-control. Purpose: To determine optimal cut-off value for body mass index (BMI) in predicting surgical success in patients with lumbar spinal canal stenosis (LSCS). Overview of Literature: BMI is an essential variable in the assessment of patients with LSCS. Methods: We conducted a prospective study with obese and non-obese LSCS surgical patients and analyzed data on age, sex, duration of symptoms, walking distance, morphologic grade of stenosis, BMI, postoperative complications, and functional disability. Obesity was defined as BMI of ${\geq}30kg/m^2$. Patients completed the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) questionnaire before surgery and 2 years after surgery. Surgical success was defined as ${\geq}30%$ improvement from the baseline ODI score. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to estimate the optimal cut-off values of BMI to predict surgical success. In addition, correlation was assessed between BMI and stenosis grade based on morphology as defined by Schizas and colleague in total, 189 patients were eligible to enter the study. Results: Mean age of patients was $61.5{\pm}9.6years$. Mean follow-up was $36{\pm}12months$. Most patients (88.4%) were classified with grades C (severe stenosis) and D (extreme stenosis). Post-surgical success was 85.7% at the 2-year follow-up. A weak correlation was observed between morphologic grade of stenosis and BMI. Rates of postoperative complications were similar between patients who were obese and those who were non-obese. Both cohorts had similar degree of improvement in the ODI at the 2-year followup. However, patients who were non-obese presented significantly higher surgical success than those who were obese. In ROC curve analysis, a cut-off value of ${\leq}29.1kg/m^2$ for BMI in patients with LSCS was suggestive of surgical success, with 81.1% sensitivity and 82.2% specificity (area under the curve, 0.857; 95% confidence interval, 0.788-0.927). Conclusion: This study showed that the BMI can be considered a parameter for predicting surgical success in patients with LSCS and can be useful in clinical practice.

교정치료시 치축의 개선을 위한 많은 연구와 노력이 이루어져 왔다. 본 교실에서는 치축개선을 위해 MEAW를 응용한 Multi-Vertical Loop Arch Wire(MVLAW : 엠빌로)를 수년 전부터 다수치아의 치축을 동시에 개선코자 사용해 왔다. MVLAW는 일종의 근심경사된 치아를 세우는 장치로써 open vertical loop를 3가지 종류로 변형시켜 적용시켜 왔으며 이를 각각 A, B, C형으로 명명하였다. 각 MVLAW는 .017"x.025" TMAwire로 제작되며, A형 MVLAW의 경우 각 open vertical loop의 apex를 10도 정도 벌려주어 활성화시키며(electric welding stop을 각 loop의 근심측에 위치시킨다), B형과 C형 MVLAW의 경우 open vertical loop의 원심측에 10도의 tip back bend를 형성함으로써 활성화시킨다(B형의 경우 electric welding stop이 각 loop의 원심측에 형성되는 반면 C형의 경우 electric welding stop을 형성하지 않는다). 본 연구는 구치부의 치축을 동시에 개선코자할 때 MVLAW를 3가지 종류로 분류한 후 각 MVLAW의 효과를 알아보고자 상하악 1/2악을 광탄성 모형에 재현하여 그 응력분포를 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다. 1. A형 MVLAW의 경우 3급 견인고무를 걸지 않았을 경우 하악 제1대구치와 제2대구치 치근의 원심면에서 강한 응력분포를 나타내나 전치부에 발생한 미약한 응력분포는 3급 견인고무의 장착으로 상쇄되었다. 따라서 A형 MVLAW는 초기에 치관의 직립효과가 있는 것으로 보인다. 2. B형 MVLAW의 경우 3급 견인고무를 걸지 않았을 경우 각 치아의 근심측에 응력분포를 보이며 견인고무를 걸었을 때와 비교시 전치부에 증가된 응력분포를 보였다. 따라서 B형의 경우 초기에 치근의 직립효과가 있는 것으로 보인다. 3. C형 MVLAW의 경우 3급 견인고무를 걸지 않았을 경우 하악전치부를 제외하고는 응력분포를 나타내지 않았으나 견인고무를 걸었을 경우 주로 견치와 소구치 근심면에서 응력분포를 보였다. 따라서 C형의 경우 견인고무 사용시 초기에 견치와 소구치에서 치근의 직립효과가 있는 것으로 보인다.

생성형 AI의 활용은 교육계를 넘어서 이미 의료계에서도 의료 기기에 임상 소프트웨어 등의 도입 등으로 연구되고 있다. 생성형 AI는 대규모 대화형 언어모델을 활용하여 방대한 데이터를 이해하고 자료를 선별하는 시간과 에너지를 줄여주면서 사용자와 끊임없는 대화를 통한 정보의 전달이 가능하다. 바로 이러한 점이 인류에게 생성형 AI가 혁신적인 기술의 등장으로 인정받고 있는 점이기도 하다. 그러나 반면 사용자에게 제공되는 컨텐츠의 정합성은 출처나 근거 없이 사용자에게 판단의 영역으로 맡겨지고 있다. 그러나 이 글에서는 생성형 AI를 활용함에 있어서 가장 직접적으로 발생할 수 있는 쟁점을 우선적으로 살펴보기로 한다. 따라서 이 글에서는 생성형 AI의 대표적인 프로그램인 Chat GPT의 발전과 이용자의 활용에 대비하여 특히 개인정보 보호의 쟁점에 대하여 논의하였다. 이를 위하여 먼저 생성형 AI의 기술적인 특성을 살펴본 뒤에 발생 가능한 민사적 쟁점 가운데에서도 개인정보 보호에 관한 문제를 우선적으로 살펴보았다. 생성형 AI는 그 자체로서 학습 데이터의 편향이나 출처 없는 결과값의 제공 등 여러 문제점이 제기되고 있으나, 이러한 문제점은 윤리적 문제를 내포하는 것으로 당장 임상 소프트웨어로서 의료기기에서 활용될 경우 개인정보 보호법제와 보건의료데이터의 활용 가이드로 환자 혹은 이용자의 개인정보를 보호할 수 있을 것인가에 대한 의문에 대한 논의가 시급하다고 판단되었다. 우리나라의 개인정보 보호법제는 특히 보건의료데이터의 활용에서 특정 개인의 개인정보를 가명처리하고 비식별조치를 취하는 데에 적절한 프로세스를 갖추고 있는 것으로 보이나, 생성형 AI이 소프트웨어로서 의료기기에 적용되었을 경우에도 이 법제로서 개인정보 보호의 목적을 이루기에는 어려운 점이 있다. 임상 소프트웨어에서 활용될 생성형 AI의 기능을 대비하기 위해서는 생성형 AI에 걸맞는 개인정보 보호의 법제가 필요할 것으로 보인다.

The home health care industry has grown rapidly and can be expected to continue to grow in the foreseeable future. Home health care refers to the practice of nursing applied to clients with a health condition in the clients place of residence. clients and their designated care givers are the focus at home health nursing practice. The goal of care is to initiate. manage and evaluate the resources needed to promote the clients optimal level of well-being and function. Nursing activities necessary to achieve this goal may warrant preventive maintenance and restorative emphases to prevent potential problems from developing. Many project program were suggested home health care model for Korea's health care system and policy direction for expansion and establishment of home health care .But the aim of this paper is to provide on overview for theoretical frame work in home health care. Theories and conceptual frameworks or models are important nursing because they define and guide the boundaries of professional practice and identify key nurse-patient-caregiver relationships that emerge with caring. Following is the research with an investigation of the literature review in the University of Arizona international medline database, In conclusion, are as followers: First, many nursing theorists have had a tremendous impact on nursing practice. the following highlights those nursing theorists that are particularly helpful in understanding home health care. 1. Florence Nightingale : Our earliest theoretical legacy. Nightingale's believes are reflected in basic infection control practice such as hand washing and infectious waste disposal and are key nursing interventions in home care. 2. Martha Roger's :Science of unitary human beings theory. Rorger's believed that the focus of shared. non invasive healing modelities is the human environmental field rather than direct physical care. These modelities continue to evolve as our awareness (reflecting greater diversity, faster rhythms, motions, and ways of knowing) transcends time and space, allowing individuals to get in touch with their integral nature of unbroken wholeness. On people as ever changing energy fields have special relevance in home care especially with hospice and palliative care applications. 3. Madeline Leininger's; Transcultural nursing theory. Home care nurses move through a variety of communities and often care for patients from different cultural back grounds. Therefore Leininger's work has a good that with home care because home care nursing practice is very culturally focused. 4. Dorothea Orem's : Self care deficit theory. Orem's theory views care as something to be performed by both nurses and patients. The role of the nurse is to provide education and support that help patients acquire the necessary activities to perform self-care. Orem's theory is foundational to have care because it begins to truly acknowledge the role of the patient in managing his or her own health. which is referred to as self-care. 5. Margaret Neuman's; Health as expending consciousness theory. Neuman believes that health compasses disease and reflects an underlying pattern of person-environment interaction. A key application of 'Neuman's work to home care is for nurses to understand that health and illness do not necessarily exist at opposite ends of a continuum. 6. Jean Watson's: Theory of human caring. Watson's theory of human caring in nursing proposes human caring as the moral ideal of nursing. Nurses participate human caring to protect, enhance and preserve humanity by assisting individuals to fing meaning in illness. pain and existence and to help others gain self knowledge. self control. and self healing such thinking lends richness to theory development. as well as clinical practice in home care. Second, Robin Rice : Dynamic self determination for self care. (A theoretical framework for home care) Dynamical self determination for self care can be useful to home care nurses in a variety of ways. As research tool it can be reflected in the interview process when the home visit. The home care nurse's role is that of facilitator of patient self-determination for self care through numerous strategies. including patient education and case management.
