The Medical Museum is one of the divisions of the Medical Information Center, Jikei University. It provides audiovisual learning resources including medical specimens, slide and video programs, computer softwares, and so on. For more effective learning about human organs, the plastination technic has been recently introduced for preparing medical specimens in our museum. Specimens preparing by the plastination technic maintain their original size and color. Here in are described the characteristics of plastination specimens which may be superior to the ones made by other technics in observing organs.

In this paper, two distinguished textbooks of internal medicine, Cecil Textbook of Medicine and Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine were compared on the basis of citation studies. The latest editions of the textbooks were examined; “Harrison” was the 11th ed. (1987), and “Cecil” was the 18th ed. (1988).The following results were obtained:1. Harrison had 280 contributors, and 77 (27.5%) were affiliated with Harvard Medical School. Cecil had 325 contributors, but they were not as concentrated at any one institution as in the case of Harrison.2. There were 4, 527 citations in Harrison and 4, 040 in Cecil. The proportion of journal citations to total citations was 79.1% in the case of Harrison and 76.2% in the case of Cecil.3. A list was made of the 20 most frequently cited journals. The most important journal was the N Engl J Med. This journal accounted for 10% of all citations in both textbooks. This list shows that all were U. S. journals with the exception of the Lancet.4. A list was made of the 10 most frequently cited books.5. The age of the citations is shown in Fig1. Both graphs indicate that peak age was 2-3 years. Median citation age in Harrison was 4.6 years, and in Cecil it was 4.4 years.

Information literacy is defined as the individual's ability to collect information from appropriate sources, evaluate the quality of information obtained, and organize and use the information effectively for specific purposes. Today's researchers should be information-literacy not only in their areas of expertise but also in changing circumstances surrounding their research environment. This article provides information that researchers must know to conduct out clinical research and write papers.Recent changes in prevalent contribution rules for academic articles called “Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals, ” implementation of the personal information protection law in Japan, Evidence-based Medicine (EBM), and guidelines for writing structured abstracts and clinical research papers would directly affect the research process. Researchers must be aware of the changes and comply with the new rules or their papers will not be accepted by major medical journals. They must be more information-literate in a broader sense than ever.

雑誌掲載版Objective: We performed qualitative research on the reading of Illness Narratives (Tobyo-ki) by medical staff to investigatewhat the staff obtained from such readings. This research was expected to be useful for medical education. Methods: Six of the medical staff members read the Tobyo-ki in advance. The six staff members then brainstormed on the theme of "what we obtained from it". These ideas were described on cards using approximately one line of text. Then, the cards were categorized and the common semantic content was summarized.Results: The medical staff obtained a comprehensive awareness from only one Tobyo-ki, such as the feelings of the patients,understanding the diverse values of disease, and identifying problems in medical care.Conclusions: Philosophically, human can't recognize as the same thing when saw the same thing. Essentially, this concept means that medical staff members cannot fully understand the patient's perspective and values by reading about them. Such information is obtained through a "filter" possessed by medical professionals. The use of Tobyo-ki should be encouraged in medical education to understand the advantages and disadvantages of such documents.

In an attempt to study not only the book services for hospitalized patients in Japan but also to determine means of realizing better services for patients, the Japan-Patient-Library Services was organized at Jichi Medical School, by a special study group, on October 1, 1984. To ensure that the book services and research are performed on schedule, Jichi Medical School Hospital has been practicing these procedures for about three years. Various points are referred to in the present report: realization of the book services; a record regarding the services starting in Jichi Medical School Hospital; results of the present service's activities; reactions of the hospitalized patients; and lastly, the future of the Japan-Patient Library Services.
