Objectives : When we understand the characters of certain person or object, we try to follow each one's or its past up. Korean Journal of Acupuncture is one of the most significant journal in acupuncture study fields in Korea. To understand the trends of study in acupuncture study fields, I made a subject with Korean Journal of Acupuncture. Methods : I made an evaluation and classification for all 713 articles' headline from vol. 17(2000 year) to vol.32(2015 year). Results : 1. Experimental Reseach : There were major portion articles for pharmaco-acupuncture study out of studies for acupuncture, moxibustion, chiropratics, devices and so on. 2. Bibliographical Research and Basic Theory Research : There were major portion articles for medians and acu-point study out of studies for article review and text book itself. Also, there were major portion articles for meridian and acupuncture study out of studies for Qigong, pulse, anatomy and so on. 3. Clinical Research : There were major portion articles for acupuncture study out of studies for moxibustion, chiropratics, devices, complex treatments and so on. 4. Others : There were major portion articles for diagnosis and measurement devices out of acupuncture, laser, pulsing device and so on. Also, there were surveys for recognition of patients and medical services and evaluations for measuring diagnosis utility and those effects.

The manufacture date of the number 198 wooden tablet excavated at Anapji is estimated to be between year 751 and 774. As medical artifacts around this period of time is scarce, the discovery of an artifact with distinct medical information such as names of medicinal drugs recorded in hand writing holds great value in the history of medicine. This wooden tablet was presumably a prescription for a medicinal formula. That the '灸' character which is a method of processing drugs is found after '甘草' indicates the possibility of this wooden tablet to be a practical form of prescription. On this slip, a certain sign can be found at the upper right corner of the names of drugs. This is thought to be an additional sign added to the original text. It seems to have been originated from the letter '了', based on the composition and finishing touches of the strokes, presumably to confirm the end of a work by adding the letter '了' which means 'to finish'. The base material of 靑黛 and 藍淀 are the same, and the two often took each other's place in a prescription. It is difficult to find an example of a formula where both drugs are included. Therefore, the prescription on the front with 靑黛, and the one on the back with 藍淀 of tablet 198 can be understood as separate formulas.

Objectives : To investigate the association of trial registration status with presence of reporting bias including publication bias and outcome reporting bias in recently published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of acupuncture. Methods : A PubMed search for RCTs of acupuncture published from March 2016 to February 2017 was conducted. Primary outcomes were identified and the direction of the results was judged as positive (i.e., statistically significant) or negative. The trial registration was identified by manually screening the trial registration number in the main text of the published article and classified into 1) prospective registration; 2) retrospective registration based on the registration date or; 3) no registration. Results : Of the 125 included RCTs, only 40 studies (32.0%) prospectively registered the study protocols. Among 65 RCTs that adequately reported the primary outcome, unregistered trials were more likely to report positive results than the registered ones (p=0.013). Of the 40 prospectively registered studies, 19 trials (47.5%) had the discrepancies between the registered and published primary outcomes and furthermore, 40% of them reported the positive findings. Conclusions : Unregistered trials were more likely to report positive results and the discrepancies between the registered and published primary outcomes were detected in about a half of the prospectively registered studies, 42.1% of which tended to report positive findings. Journal editors and researchers in this field should be alerted to various reporting biases.

Background: Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common chronic behavioral disorders in school-aged children. Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of omega-3 supplementation as an alternative therapy for ADHD, which can be caused by vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Methods: This was a double-blinded clinical trial study. Sixty-six children with ADHD (aged 6-12 years) referred to our child and adolescent psychiatric educational and therapeutic clinic were selected based on Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision criteria. Instruments including the Parent ADHD Rating Scale were used to assess ADHD at 0, 2, 4, and 8 weeks during the study. Results: The results showed no statistically significant difference between the methylphenidate with omega-3 group and methylphenidate with placebo group based on the Parents ADHD Rating Scale between week 0 ($P{\geq}0.96$) and week 8 ($P{\geq}0.75$). There were no significant intergroup differences between the Inattention ($P{\geq}0.48$) and hyperactivity/impulsivity ($P{\geq}0.80$) subscale scores on the Parents ADHD Rating Scale. The most common drug complications in the methylphenidate with placebo and methylphenidate with omega-3 groups were anorexia (27 [54%] vs. 41 [60.29%], respectively) and diarrhea (10 [20%] vs. 8 [11.76%], respectively), but the differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that a specific dose of omega-3 for 8 weeks had no effect on ADHD.

Objective: To evaluate the completeness of the reporting of systematic reviews and meta-analyses published in a general radiology journal using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four articles (systematic review and meta-analysis, n = 18; systematic review only, n = 6) published between August 2009 and September 2021 in the Korean Journal of Radiology were analyzed. Completeness of the reporting of main texts and abstracts were evaluated using the PRISMA 2020 statement. For each item in the statement, the proportion of studies that met the guidelines' recommendation was calculated and items that were satisfied by fewer than 80% of the studies were identified. The review process was conducted by two independent reviewers. Results: Of the 42 items (including sub-items) in the PRISMA 2020 statement for main text, 24 were satisfied by fewer than 80% of the included articles. The 24 items were grouped into eight domains: 1) assessment of the eligibility of potential articles, 2) assessment of the risk of bias, 3) synthesis of results, 4) additional analysis of study heterogeneity, 5) assessment of non-reporting bias, 6) assessment of the certainty of evidence, 7) provision of limitations of the study, and 8) additional information, such as protocol registration. Of the 12 items in the abstract checklists, eight were incorporated in fewer than 80% of the included publications. Conclusion: Several items included in the PRISMA 2020 checklist were overlooked in systematic review and meta-analysis articles published in the Korean Journal of Radiology. Based on these results, we suggest a double-check list for improving the quality of systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Authors and reviewers should familiarize themselves with the PRISMA 2020 statement and check whether the recommended items are fully satisfied prior to publication.

Objectives : Though regional body temperature palpation is one of well stylized diagnosis methods in Huangdineijing, it has not been thoroughly reconstructed. So I tried to find and reconstruct the methods in Huangdineijing to diagnose regional body temperature as a objective sign. Material and Methods : Huangdineijing(in Zhonghuayidian) was used for text search. "Heat(熱)", "Cold and Heat(寒熱)", "Cold and Warmth(寒溫)", "Root and Terminal(本末)" was used as searching keywords. By classifying and analysing searched sentences I reconstructed the original palpation methods. Results : Two types of regional temperature palpation method was found in Huangdineijing. One is the method palpating the Root(origin) points and Terminal points of the meridians, while the other method is that palpating the skin in anterior side of forearm. It was proved that they had been collaboratively used to diagnose the diseases related to meridians and it's collaterals. Conclusions :In the era of Huangdineijing, there was at least two types of regional temperature palpation method and their clinical usage was in complementary relations.

Generally, clause 273 of Shanghan-lun was called as a principle of Taeeum-byung and was regarded that it contains essential substances of Taeeum-byung. In this study, I compared the text of diverse woodblock-printed versions, the opinions of many annotators, and other clauses of Shanghan-lun which related with clause 273 in pathologic view points. As results, "the symptoms become worsen by purgative medicine" of remained version is more reasonable rather than "diarrhea become worsen" of Song version, in the side of pathologic interpretation of Taeeum-byung and to understand the reason of mistreatment. In addition, the symptoms of "an intermittent and autonomous abdominal cramp" and "feeling hard on sub-chest region" should be recognized as transformed symptoms by mistreatment of purgative medicine. Thus, diarrhea cannot be accepted as a peculiar symptom of Taeeum-byung, but should be regarded as a possible symptom transformed from Taeeum-byung or its preceding diseases by purgative medicine.

Objectives: This study was to discuss the research trend of dementia treatment using cannabis for the purpose of providing the basis of cannabis use for medical purposes in the future. Methods: This study searched publications, which were registered to databases or published by Aug 22, 2019, and targeted the full-text or abstracts of these publications. We selected the final nine studies met all selection criteria. Results: These results implied that the CBD components of cannabis might be useful to treat and prevent AD because CBD components could suppress the main causal factors of AD. Moreover, it was suggested that using CBD and THC together could be more useful than using CBD or THC alone. Conclusion: We hope that there will be a solid foundation to use cannabis for medical use by continuously evaluating the possibility of using cannabis for clinical purposes as a dementia treatment substance and cannabis can be used as a positive tool.
