Objectives: To study the change of personality types of Korean medical students focusing on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Methods: A survey was conducted on 84 Korean medical students to investigate the change of personality types focusing on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Results: In both freshman and senior student groups, the ISTJ was the most common type. The order of the number of the type changes during the university years was 1 type (45.2%)>2 types (23.8%)>3 types (14.3%)>0 types (11.9%)>4 types (1.8%), and the score of I, S, T, P type increased. Conclusions: As a result of the Korean medical students' MBTI type changes during the university years, the types were changed rather than fixed.

Academic medicine is built from a foundation of education, research, and patient care. Since good patient care results from the application of medical research and continuous education, these three components cannot be separated for medical development to occur. In Korea, many obstacles hinder the achievement of academic medicine, such as an inefficient medical delivery system, limitations of primary care, low insurance prices, and no long-term health care plan. Medical education has changed to outcome-based education, but presented temporal integration status. Governance of healthcare research is not centralized, and Korea is awarded relatively fewer grants than other countries. Medical professors have reached a burnout state due to patient care responsibilities in addition to research and education duties. Many medical systems, including the medical delivery system and insurance problems, may contribute to distrust between doctors and patients. The government is not involved in a long-term health care policy. The multitude of factors mentioned here are hindering the achievement of academic medicine in Korea.

This study aims to apply the Generalizability Theory (G-theory) for estimation of reliability of evaluation scores between raters on Patient Dentist Interaction. Selecting a number of raters as multiple error sources, this study was analyzed the error sources caused by relative magnitude of error variances of interaction between the factors and proceeded with D-study based on the results of G-study for optimal determination of measurement condition. The estimated outcomes of variance component for accuracy among the Patient Dentist Interaction evaluation with G-theory showed that impact of error was the biggest influence factor in students. The second influence was the item effect, and the rater effect was relatively small. The Generalizability coefficients for case1 and case2 which were estimated through the D- study were calculated relatively low.

Purpose: This study aimed to develop 360° virtual reality videos and common videos for cardiac arrest recognition. Methods: A sequential mixed methods study was conducted, using qualitative interviews (with a total of seven experts) and a quantitative survey. Results: First, the cardiac arrest situation should be developed within 2-3 minutes after witnessing the patient collapse, for each of the four cardiac arrest videos about apnea, gasping, seizure, gasping, and seizure. Second, the education program should be designed so that the education on cardiac arrest recognition can proceed before CPR practice begins. Conclusion: 360° virtual reality videos and common videos for cardiac arrest recognition can play an important role in the education of the general public about cardiac arrest experience.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to review the studies of the wild ginseng complex pharmacopuncture related to obesity treatment. Methods: We searched the papers with key words of 'wild ginseng complex pharmacopuncture', 'wild ginseng pharmacopuncture', 'obesity', 'fat', 'weight' in Oriental medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System, KRpia, Koreanstudies Information Service System, Research Information Sharing Service, KoreaMed and PubMed, Scopus. We classified the papers by year, content and study type. Results: There were 7 studies about the wild ginseng pharmacopuncture related to obesity treatment. Cell studies were excluded because they were not related to obesity. Analysis of 3 animal experiments and 4 clinical studies were conducted to describe each research subject, method, and research results. Conclusion: More interest and further research will be needed on wild ginseng pharmacopuncture related to obesity treatment in the Korean medicine to achieve clinical application and to develop treatment protocols for the obesity disease.

Although it has been confirmed that excessive body fat increases health risks and all-cause mortality, several epidemiological studies have reported that overweight or obesity in patients with chronic diseases and in older adults is advantageous with respect to mortality. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the biological basis of this obesity paradox. The marked heterogeneity of findings observed across studies and the possibility of systematic errors in these studies have cast doubt on the actual existence of the obesity paradox. However, the obesity paradox questioned the validity of body mass index as the best indicator for obesity in terms of predicting its comorbidities and urges clinicians to focus more on changes in body composition and related metabolic derangements, rather than body weight per se.

Objectives : Overlapping contents between two recently discovered Han period bamboo slats, the so-called "Beidahanjian" and the "Liushibingfang" have been identified. This study aims to present new knowledge that could be inferred from the concordance of these two texts. Methods : The most recent original texts of the medical part of the Beidahanjian and medical texts excavated from the Laoguanshan in addition to the Liushibingfang were compared with each other to determine identical parts. The meaning of these concordances was explored. Results : Identical sentences in two verses in the Beidahanjian and the Laoguanshan were identified. Conclusions : The Beidahanjian is a credible Western Han period text, of which the medical bamboo slats are likely to comprise an independent text that is a combination of ancient folk prescriptions and those of doctors.

Software as Medical Devices (SaMD) is a growing category of medical devices that are composed of software to perform one or more medical purposes. SaMD is less likely to cause physical harm compared to conventional medical devices, particularly medical electrical equipments, and may be more vulnerable to privacy issues. This difference was acknowledged and resulted in introducing new regulation guidance specifically for cybersecurity of SaMD. It guides stakeholders of SaMD what to consider in what context in terms of cybersecurity. This study examines the current guidance of how cybersecurity is considered for SaMD by analyzing current medical device standards, then suggest which concept or details beyond current medical device standards may be applicable through analysis of international standards documents published for software in general.

The passive type solar energy heating system for the classroom was investigated. A classroom in a primary school located at Gangnam-ku, Seoul was taken as a model classroom the heat balance equation was established. The temperature in the classroom and solarium were calculated from the heat balance. at clear days, the temperature in the classroom and solarium were measured and compared with the calculated values. The calculated and measured values for the temperature agreed with, in general, in the increasing of $20\%$ range. It was found that the smaller size of solarium could Provide the increasing of energy efficiency for the classroom temperature.
