The objectives of this study are to investigate how English keywords used in the Journal of Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons coincide with precise MeSH terms, and to verify to what extent frequently used English keywords(n > 3) are used with precise MeSH terms. The English keywords were analyzed from 594 articles of JKSPRS published from Jan. 1998 to Mar. 2002. The authors investigated the frequently used keywords and the percentage of the keywords Which coincide with MeSH using MeSH browser. The total number of the English keywords used was 1638, and 80 kinds of keywords including 'Free flap' were used 3 or more times. The number of terms precisely coincident with MeSH was 209(12.7%), the number of terms not matching MeSH term but Entry term was 217(13.3%) and 1212 terms(74.0%) were not MeSH terms. The number of frequently used key word(n>3) immatched with MeSH, that coincide with KPRS*terms was 22 including 'Free flap' and 'Tip plasty'. Many of English keywords of JKSPRS* does not coincide with the MeSH. We must try to use precise MeSH term when we use the English keywords of the articles.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to analyze how accurately authors of the Journal of Korean Academy of Fundamentals of Nursing used MeSH terms as key words. METHOD: A total of 724 key words used in the 225 papers of Journal of Korean Academy of Fundamentals of Nursing from 2003 to 2007 were compared with MeSH terms. RESULTS: Fifty nine point eight percent of total key words were completely coincident with MeSH terms, 13.5% were entry terms, and 21.8% were not MeSH terms. The coincidence rates for 2003 and 2007 separately were 38.5% and 70.9%. Also, 25.3% of papers precisely used MeSH terms as key words and 8% did not use any MeSH terms. CONCLUSION: The results show that the coincidence rate of key words with MeSH terms was at a moderate level and gradually increased according to year. However, there is a need for us to understand MeSH more specifically and accurately.

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality of abstracts of original articles. METHODS: This subjects selected total 63 abstracts of the original articles of the Korean Journal of Preventive Medicine in 1997. The quality of abstracts was measured against a checklist of evaluation criteria, which were divided into eight categories and the numbers of inappropriate words (including grammar) according to criterion-based survey. A score for each abstract was obtained by dividing the number of criteria presented by the number applicable. The overall mean score was also determined. RESULTS: The overall mean score of abstract quality was 0.55 out of 1. Of the abstracts subject selection 83% didn't include specific technical descriptors. Of those that gave conclusions 92% didn't address study limitations and 78% made no recommendations for future study. The overall mean number of inappropriate usage of words (including grammar) per abstract was 14.1. The overall mean number of English words was 283. In the multiple regression analyses, the research career of the first author and the number of English words to the number of inappropriate usage of words were statistically significant. Also, in the secondary regression model, the number of English words to the quality score of abstract was only statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: Most of the abstracts provided some information pertaining to each evaluation criterion. However, they did not provide sufficient details to enhance the reader's understanding of the article. On the basis of the study the abstracts need improvement in its description of the reported subject selection, statements of limitations and recommendations, etc. The Korean Society for Preventive Medicine will recommend a proposal for more informative abstracts in Korean J Prev Med and will take into consideration the introduction of foreign review of abstracts. Future studies should address these issues and compare the quality of abstracts between different journals and their time of publication.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the evidence of programmatic and teaching initiatives implemented by nursing faculty to enhance the academic success rates of ethnically diverse students (EDS). METHODS: A search of the literature in the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature and MEDLINE databases, wherein primary sources about programmatic and teaching initiative to promote academic success among EDS, was conducted. Using specific the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature subject headings and Medical Subject Headings, 230 articles were retrieved from both databases. A total of 22 peer-reviewed articles published between 2000 and 2011 were included in the literature review. RESULTS: We found that evidence on the predominant programmatic and teaching initiatives for EDS academic success was inconclusive. The most common programmatic and teaching initiatives implemented by nursing faculty were peer mentoring, faculty-student mentoring, social networking, academic support, and financial support. CONCLUSION: Although positive student outcomes were reported about programmatic and teaching initiatives for EDS, the evidence remained inconclusive. Recommendations for policy and future research in this area of nursing education research were provided.

This study was conducted to compare English keywords of articles published in major Korean Nursing Journals provided by the authors with the MeSH to see how often MeSH concepts are being used and suggest ways to improve use of the MeSH by Korean nurse researchers. Each English keyword provided by the author was compared with the MeSH concepts usign the MeSH browser. One thousand seven hundred eighty four articles published in 7 major Korean Nursing journals were reviewed. Only 44.2% (788 articles) out of 1,784 articles had at least one English keyword provided by the authors. There were total 2,137 English keywords used with 1,672 uniquely different keywords. Each article had 2.7 English keywords on the average. Twenty one point twenty nine percent of the English keywords matched with MeSH concepts. Reasons for not matching with MeSH concepts were that English keywords provided by the authors were unique nursing terminologies, psycho-social terminologies, phonetics of Korean words or pure Korean words. In order to have high quality bibliographical database, it is necessary to use standard keyword for indexing and searching nursing related literatures. This study recommends that use of a standard classification such as MeSH be included in the authors guideline for manuscript submission, keywords provided by authors be added or modified by the editor, and efforts to include those terms not matching with MeSH concepts into the MeSH classification be exercised.

OBJECTIVES: This study proposes to trace the development of the Journal of Korean Academy of Oral Health by analyzing its articles. METHODS: All of the articles published in the Journal of Korean Academy of Oral Health from 1995 to 2012 were assessed and analyzed with regard to the following: research design, MeSH database keywords, and statistical method. RESULTS: The total number of published articles was 830. This journal has conducted based on the relatively weak research designs and statistical analysis, and keyword does not matched with MeSH terms. The most frequently used research design was cross-sectional (53.1%). The statistical methods most often used were the F-test, t-test and contingency table. Only 34.3% of keywords matched MeSH terms. CONCLUSIONS: It was confirmed that the activities of the field of Journal of Korean Academy of Oral Health have become more prevalent over the past 18 years. In order to develop the quality of the journal, more systematic, refined study designs and methods are needed. It is also urgently essential that authors understand MeSH terms, and the Journal of Korean Academy of Oral Health should request that authors use accurate MeSH terms as their keywords when they submit articles.

PURPOSE: We try to disclose how much the keywords of the papers from the Journal of the Korean Academy of Nursing coincide with MeSH terminologies and to understand the major subjects of the recent nursing research in Korea from keywords. METHODS: Keywords of journals were extracted and compared with MeSH terms. The frequency of the appearance of each keyword was sorted by a descending order. RESULTS: Coincidence rate of 1,235 keywords with MeSH terms was 51.6%. Out of them, depression, elderly, stress, self efficacy, quality of life, exercise, middle-aged women, and women appeared most frequently in descending order. CONCLUSION: Coincidence rate of the keywords with MeSH terms was at an acceptable level, however to improve it, the education of submitters and editorial board members are required, as well as the copy editor, to take a role in checking keywords. To infer the subjects of the research from keywords might well represent the recent topics of research work.

Generally, PACS(Picture Archiving and Communication System) play an important role in the patient care support system of the HIS(Hospital Information System). In the dental PACS, image search and storage is very difficult without standardized DBI(Dental Bitmap Image) file format and view browser because each of the X-Ray instrument and the other image use various image file such as BMP, GIF, TIFF, PCX etc. We proposed the DBI for fast review, classification, storage and transmission of the dental image. It is based on personal computer environment. Using the thumbnail in the DBI, we made image files such as a type of album and operated on PC. We implemented DBI file format that include the DBI viewer and slide show application and other function of fundamental PACS by means of visual C++ and Windows API(Application Programming Interface). This program is consisted of three parts: First, convert the various image file format into DBI file format so as to integrated medical image file format. Second, additional descriptor such as patient name or necessary information to image file and management image file format. Second, additional descriptor such as patient name or necessary information to image file and management image file using patient information or date. Third, execution of the image of the image edit and image enhancement and image copression. Beside this Program Provide GUI interface for user's facility.
