We aimed to identify the differences between Korean and Chinese calligraphy therapy by examining the trends in Korean and Chinese calligraphy therapy and the effectiveness of the dependent variables. For the study, we initially screened 288 Korean articles and 429 Chinese articles, totaling 717 articles, published from January 1997 to December 2021. Using the PICOTS-SD standard, 6 Korean articles, 9 Chinese articles, and 15 total articles were identified as eligible for the study, and the collected data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0, a Microsoft EXCEL program. We found that there were significant differences in the number of follow-ups among publication formats, disease types, and main activity techniques (p<.05), and significant differences in the number of research and experimental participants in calligraphy therapy studies published in Korea and China and in the type of effect verification of the dependent variable (p<.01). In addition, based on the literature review and data analysis, it was found that there were differences in the qualities and experience of Korean and Chinese therapists and the intervention contents and methods of calligraphy therapy.

The survey is designed to provide fundamental data for assessing effects of calligraphy therapy program. An opened questionnaire asking psychological and physical experiences (3 advantages and 3 disadvantages) was given to 150 persons practicing calligraphy. Collected data were categorized into 10 psychological advantages (435 items), 6 psychological disadvantages (129 items), 9 physical advantages (302 items), and 7 physical disadvantages (150 items). Those subjective experiences were multidisciplinarily interpreted in terms of the mental and physical health and the humanistic education. A new structured assessing tool which will be developed based on the findings from the study may contribute in activating the calligraphy therapy program.

The demand for a better immobilization device has been increased in the radiation oncology field. Especially, it is essential to have a reliable and practical immobilization tool for the whole body radio-surgery and the IMRT(intensity modulated radiation therapy). A new method to immobilize the abdomen for the external beam radiation treatment was developed. The air-injected balloon blanket (AIBB) was designed as an immobilization device. As the air was injected into the AIBB, it pressed down the patient's abdomen and fixed the patient. The AIBB played a useful role to grab the patients' motion. Displacement of the abdomen in the anterior-posterior direction, which showed moving most during the respiration, reduced by more than 5 mm. Patients' movements from the breathing were reduced. The experimental results revealed that the AIBB could be used for the clinic.

The aim of the present study was to identify the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes associated with maxillary anterior dentigerous cysts in children. Among 55 patients who had been diagnosed with maxillary anterior dentigerous cysts, 33 patients had cysts located in the incisor region and 22 had cysts located in the canine region. Cysts in the incisor region were 7.2-fold more prevalent in male patients, while cysts in the canine region were 1.75-fold more prevalent in female patients. For cysts in the incisor region, marsupialization was performed in 21 cases and enucleation in 12 cases. In the canine region, marsupialization was performed in 20 cases and enucleation in 2 cases. Spontaneous eruptions of the displaced teeth in the incisor and canine region were 90% and 54.5%, respectively. Among patients which spontaneous eruption occurred, patients with cysts in the incisor region underwent orthodontic treatment more often due to malocclusion. This study is expected to be used as fundamental data for establishing future treatment plans by providing the analyzed results of distribution and characteristics of dentigerous cysts involving the maxillary anterior tooth.

Ortner's or cardiovocal syndrome is hoarseness attributable to left recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) palsy associated with mechanical compression of the nerve by pathologically enlarged cardiovascular structures. Ortner's syndrome is a rare condition, and to our knowledge, only a few cases have been reported in Korea. Furthermore, this condition is extremely uncommon in pediatric patients with thyrotoxicosis-related RLN paralysis. We report a case of reversible Ortner's syndrome in an adolescent who presented with secondary pulmonary hypertension related to thyrotoxicosis.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the distribution of primary fused teeth and identify the correlation between primary fused teeth and their effect on permanent dentition. 2575 children between the age of 4 and 6 in Kyungpook National University Hospital from January 2009 to August 2015 were investigated. A total of 84 children (46 boys and 38 girls) had fused teeth. 14 of these children had two fused teeth. Prevalence of caries involvement was in 65% of maxilla and 6% of mandible. Prevalence of permanent successors missing was 86.3% in the cases involving maxillary central and lateral incisor, 70% in mandibular lateral incisor and cuspid, 11.7% in mandibular central and lateral incisor. 27 of 84 children (32.1%) had supernumerary teeth. The highest prevalence rate is seen in the cases involving maxillary central and lateral incisor. Delayed permanent tooth eruption was only observed in the maxilla because of developing supernumerary tooth. Early diagnosis of fused tooth in the primary dentition can allow the dentist to make treatment plan at the appropriate time in accordance with the tooth arrangement and tooth development.

As for planning the radiation therapy for the tumor in the lung, inferring the motion of the organ or target due to the respiration from the motion of the skin was performed as the feasibility study with the animal. The dog weighed 20 kg was chosen for the experiment. The system, which can use the fluoroscopy and the CCD camera synchronously, was designed. With a radio-opaque marker on the skin of the dog, which indicates the lower lobe of the lung, the images of the motions for the lung were recorded in the A/P (anterior-to-posterior) and lateral view. At the same time, the images of the skin motions from CCD camera were also recorded. Skin moves periodically with the amplitude of 6 mm and the target in the lung made almost the same frequencies during its motion's amplitude of 15 mm and its direction change with the respiration. Therefore analyzed results showed strong correlation between the skin motion and the organ motion on the average of 0.85. This study indicated that the prediction of a target position in the lung, which is moving organ, is possible. For the animal study, predicting the exact target motion from the skin motion was possible and it can have the feasibility to apply to the patient clinically.
