研究室紹介
Professor Jung Hee Ryu's research lab specializes in pediatric anesthesiology and perioperative medicine, with a strong focus on improving child patient experiences through innovative technologies. The lab investigates the clinical applications of virtual reality (VR) to reduce preoperative anxiety and emergence delirium in pediatric surgical patients, demonstrating a commitment to non-pharmacological interventions in pediatric care. Additionally, the lab explores neurobiological mechanisms underlying cognitive disorders, particularly through the study of neuregulin-1 in Alzheimer’s disease models. The integration of digital health technologies and neuroscience underscores the lab’s translational research approach.

15The use of gamification in healthcare has been gaining popularity. This prospective, randomized, clinical trial was designed to evaluate whether gamification of the preoperative process—via virtual reality (VR) gaming that provides a vivid, immersive and realistic experience—could reduce preoperative anxiety in children. Seventy children scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia were randomly divided into either the control or gamification group. Children in the control group recei
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: An immersive virtual reality tour of the operating theater could reduce preoperative anxiety. This study was designed to determine whether a preoperative immersive virtual reality tour demonstrates a reduction in emergence delirium through reducing the preoperative anxiety in children undergoing general anesthesia. METHODS: Eighty-six children were randomly allocated into either the control or virtual reality group. The control group received conventional education regarding
Virtual reality (VR), a technology that provides a stimulated sensory experience, has recently been implemented in various fields of medicine. Several studies have investigated the efficacy of VR on preoperative anxiety. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to validate whether VR could relieve preoperative anxiety in patients undergoing surgery. Electronic databases were searched to identify all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the effect of VR on preoperative anxiety. The prim
The neuregulin (NRG) family of epidermal growth factor-related proteins is composed of a wide variety of soluble and membrane-bound proteins that exert their effects via the tyrosine kinase receptors ErbB2-ErbB4. In the nervous system, the functions of NRG1 are essential for peripheral myelination, the establishment and maintenance of neuromuscular and sensorimotor systems and the plasticity of cortical neuronal circuits. In the present study, we report that an intracerebroventricular infusion o

The purpose of this study was to compare the incidence of airway complications between extubation under deep anesthesia (deep extubation) and extubation when fully awake (awake extubation) in pediatric patients after general anesthesia. A systematic review was performed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses (PRISMA) statement standards. The review protocol was registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (registr
PURPOSE: This randomized, double-blinded, prospective study was performed to compare the intraoperative hemodynamic variables and the patient-reported outcomes, such as intra- and postoperative analgesia and patient satisfaction, of retrobulbar block, sub-Tenon block, and topical anesthesia during cataract surgery under monitored anesthesia care. METHODS: Eighty-one patients, ASA physical status I-III, undergoing elective cataract surgery under monitored anesthesia care, aged between 43 and 78 y
