Abstract: It is difficult to give an explanation about medicine and a database exactly. Even if it is rare that we rise to a conversation in daily life about astronomy and the theoretical physics, it often becomes the topic on the medical and health care. Giving orderly explanation, although IT related terms, such as a database are familiar and being touched I many cases is not that anyone can do. Based on the characteristic of the medical field, I introduced medical databases and its use.

Abstract: National Bioscience Database Center (NBDC) was established in April 2011 as a department of Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) for the purpose of integrating dispersed life science databases. We provide many services such as Integbio Life Science Database Catalog, Life Science Database Cross Search, Life Science Database Archive through our portal site. Services developed by funding projects (FIRST AUTHORfS, LEADING AUTHORfS, TogoTV, TogoDoc, BodyParts3D/Anatomography, Taxonomy icon, Allie,inMeXes, etc.) are also available and all services are free of charge. In this article, we introduce our efforts to integrate databases and some examples of accessing database via each service, and utilizing tools for medical field.

The Japan Medical Library Association Expert Searching Working Group for Clinical Practice Guidelines
Abstract: This article explained the EBM-oriented searching in PubMed referring to insights and examples obtained through the activity of JMLA Expert Searching Working Group for Clinical Practice Guidelines. gAdvanced Searchh enables creation of search formula with gbuilderh and ghistoryh. gFilterh is used to narrow down the search results. gMy NCBIh is used to save search formula and literatures. It is necessary to take note of indexing information and rules when using gMeSHh. What is needed for searcher is the attitude of collaboration with clients as well as the knowledge of PubMed, MeSH and EBM.

Abstract: Japan Medical Abstracts Society produces a Japanese medical literature database and provides it through an online service gIchu-shi Webh. The database contains 1. bibliographic data, 2. abstracts and 3. indexing terms. Trained indexers attach indexing terms that are relevant the subject contains of each article based on gThesaurus for Medical and Health Related Termsh. gIchu-shi Webh is designed to obtain search results without requiring the user to reference the thesaurus. But by knowing about the role of thesaurus and indexing terms added each article, users will be able to search gIchu-shi Webh in various ways. This paper introduces gThesaurus for Medical and Health Related Termsh and its role in our database with focusing comparison to gMedical Suject Headingsh produced by National Library of Medicine (United States).

Abstract: For visiting Igaku Chuo Zassi Kankokai, I discuss Igaku Chuo Zassi from these points :to pick up all articles, indexing, document delivery, proceedings, corrected article, and retracted article. Indexing is a core function of the Igaku Chuo Zassi. Document delivery will be a more important issue for public libraries and personals . Proceedings should be included into the Igaku Chuo Zassi. And I Hope that corrected articles and retracted articles should be included into enough as well as PubMed.
