Purpose: The objective of this study was to compare clinical examination of dental caries and secondary caries with panoramic examination. and to examine bone lesions and dental anomaly of unerupted state. Materials and Methods: In this study. clinical records and panoramic radiographs were available for 89 first grade students in elementary school. Dental caries of occlusal surfaces. proximal surfaces. and buccolingual surfaces were examined. Secondary caries was examined too. In addition. the central lesion and dental anomaly of unerupted state were examined in panoramic radiographs. Results: The obtained results were as followed: 1. Carious detectability of clinical examination in occlusal and buccolingual surface was higher than that of panoramic examination. but it is statistically insignificant(p>0.05). In proximal surface. carious detect ability of panoramic examination was higher than that of clinical examination. and it is statistically significant(p<0.01). 2. In contrast to clinical examination only. when the two examination methods were combined. there was additional detection of dental caries(26.7％ in occlusal surface. 48.2％ in proximal surface. 33.3％ in buccolingual surface. and 38.3％ totally). 3. In detection of secondary caries. panoramic examination had lower ability than clinical examination in all three surfaces. but in case that both methods were combined. totally 36.0％ extra carious lesions were detected. 4. In panoramic examination. detectability of secondary caries in upper teeth is lower than lower teeth. 5. In panoramic examination. it was possible to detect the central lesions and dental anomalies of unerupted state which cannot be detected in clinical examination. Conclusion: It is useful to combine the panoramic examination with clinical examination in order to increase carious detectability and to evaluate the central lesions and dental anomalies of unerupted state

The civil service examination system is an important part of the history of education in East Asia. In China, the civil service examination system lasted for almost 1,300 years. Through this, each dynasty was able to prevent the concentration of power to the hereditary nobles and to give competent talents an opportunity to rise to an important position in the state. In terms of medical education, in China, doctors have already been selected through tests since the Song Dynasty. However, the actual cases of medical tests currently remaining in each dynasty are very rare. This paper, firstly, examines the implementation method of the medical test during the Qing Dynasty and examines how it influenced the merit rating. and secondly, this paper examines the actual cases of the remaining Qing medical exam questions, in terms of content, related to the medical text "Uijonggeumgam (醫宗金鑑)" and was influenced by the style of the civil service examination at that time.

Relative to the large number of photosynthetic dinoflagellate species, only a select few possess proteinaceous, carotenoid-rich eyespots which have been demonstrated in other algae to act in phototactic responses. The proteins comprising the different categories of dinoflagellate eyespots are positioned in or near the peridinin-containing photosynthetic plastid membranes which are composed primarily of two galactolipids, mono- and digalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG and DGDG). Within eyespot-containing dinoflagellates, this arrangement occurs mostly in those with secondary plastids, although some dinoflagellates with tertiary plastids of diatom origin are known to possess eyespots. We here provide an examination of the MGDG and DGDG composition of eyespot-containing dinoflagellates with secondary, peridinin-containing plastids and tertiary plastids of diatom origin to address the fundamental question of whether eyespots and their component proteins and carotenoids are associated with alterations in galactolipid composition when compared to eyespot-lacking photosynthetic dinoflagellates. This is an important question because the dinoflagellate eyespot-plastid membrane system can be considered a more complicated and evolved state of plastid development. Included in this examination are data on the previously unexamined peridinin- and type A eyespot-containing dinoflagellate Margalefidinium polykrikoides, and the type D eyespot-containing, aberrant plastid "dinotom" Durinskia baltica. In addition, we have reviewed the galactolipid composition of algae from the Chlorophyceae, Cryptophyceae, and Euglenophyceae as a comparison to determine if algal classes apart from the Dinophyceae contain altered galactolipids in association with eyespots. We conclude that the presence of an eyespot in dinoflagellates and other algae is not associated with noticeable changes in galactolipid composition.
