Objective The purpose of this study was to examine the composition, bibliographic characteristics, and contents of the book, Dongeuisasangjinryoeuijeon(東醫四象診療醫典). Method The images of this book published in 1941 at Haenglim publishing company, stored in the National Library of Korea were acquired and used as basic data, and books related to Sasang constitutional medicine such as Dongeuisasangshinpyun (東醫四象新編), Dongmuyugo(東武遺稿), and Sasanggeumgyebibang(四象金匱秘方) were compared. Result Many of the data were based on the Dongeuisasangshinpyun(東醫四象新編), and were made with reference to Dongmuyugo(東武遺稿) and Sasanggeumgyebibang(四象金匱秘方) partly. This book is thought to be made to be used conveniently for clinicians at the time when data on Sasang Constitutional Medicine was insufficient. In particular, it can be said that the mention of well-established diagnostic method, drugs that cause adverse reactions when a patient of a different constitution takes them and the quatrains of prescriptions using seven Chinese characters in each line are very unique. Conclusion Although most of the books, including Dongeuisasangshinpyun(東醫四象新編), were cited, it is thought that the book was well-organized in order to provide good information to the clinicians practicing Sasang Constitutional Medicine at the time. For the original part of this book, further research should be conducted.

This study examined the characteristics of Buddhist books printed using metal type during the Joseon Dynasty period from a bibliographical perspective. It was found that there are 36 kinds of Buddhist books published using metal type during the Joseon Dynasty period that currently exist. In terms of the types used for publication, there were 9 kinds of printed editions by Gapinja, 13 kinds of printed editions by Eulhaeja, 2 kinds of printed editions by Jeongchukja, 3 kinds of printed editions by Eulyuja and 9 kinds of printed editions by Jeonsaja. Among them, The Buddhist books printed using Eulhaeja were 36 % of total with the highest quantity of 13 kinds. In terms of periods of publication, it was found that 27 kinds and 9 kinds of Buddhists books were published respectively in the first and latter parts of Joseon Dynasty periods. Among them, there were 19 kinds of metal type book editions published during the King Sejo period that occupied 70% of total. It appears that such phenomenon was a result of King Sejo's abnormal enthronement and Buddhism-friendly tendency.

Historical books are records of information using text and images and is one of the valuable cultural heritages of mankind. However, these books wear, tear and are damaged with time, so we are restricted in our usage of them for study or research. There are many libraries and museums around the world researching a method to digitize the historical books to prevent their collection from damage. Digitizing the historical books not only produce digital images but also a valuable high quality digital information. Digitizing process also keeps the original content of the historical books as well as add a value as research material as a bibliographical, artistic and archaeological item. Furthermore, its information would be provided through a network, like internet, to share and to promote more advanced studies. The purpose of this study is to examine the principles and method of digitization of historical books.

The Korean Medical Journal (1930-1937) is the first Korean medical journal published by The Korean Medical Association, which Korean doctors established to resist Japanese medical organizations during the Japanese colonial period. Using the bibliometric research method for The Korean Medical Journal, this study aimed to analyze the journal as follows. First, the study analyzed the subject trends of medical research by extracting the MeSH terms from the title of the articles. Next, the study identified characteristics of authors, type of language used in the papers, publication year and countries of references included in the papers. Also, this study identified the researchers' interests by analyzing the frequency of keywords appearing in the roundtable titles. As a result of the research, infections, pathological symptoms and diseases of the digestive system were studied most often. Most authors belonged to Severance Union Medical College, and internal medicine and general surgery departments had the most authors. Most of the titles and texts of the papers were written in Korean and Chinese characters in combination. Of the 131 papers, only 40 contained abstracts, 22 of which were English abstracts, the most number. The study analyzed 1,103 references in the papers and found that the authors mainly cited the latest journals published in Japan, Germany, and the United States. The topics discussed the most in the roundtable talks were tuberculosis, neurasthenia, and gonorrhea in order. This research examined the history of the publication of The Korean medical journal.

In this study, in order to clarify the unsystematic compilation and publication of books at the Hakbu in the period of Empire of Korea, I aimed to investigate the distinctive features and contents by comparing the record in old literature and with the existing original, and then by analyzing them in the form of bibliography. The summarized findings from this study are as follow; (1) The number of the books compiled/published was 63 types according to the findings until now. (2) It showed that the printing/compiling book in the Hakbu was differently carried out annually. (3) An 84.1% of the published books were printed by using printed edition, and Sinyeon printed edition was classified into 35 types of books, accounted for the most percentage among the printed books. (4) Most of books were bound in type of Thin-cover book using Hanji (Korean paper hand-made from mulberry trees). (5) The price of books was more expensive than that of contemporary books. As time goes by, the price of a book published becomes cheaper. (6) There were 6 types of translated books in the books compiled. As comprehensive study about compiled/published books at the Hakbu, this research will form the base of related research.

$\ll$Yongchu(靈樞)$\gg$ is completed as a result of gathering several treatises about oriental medicine in B.C. 3c ~ A.D. 1c, and esteemed as a bible of oriental medicine, especially very much quoted in acupuncture fields. But the name of $\ll$Yongchu(靈樞)$\gg$ wasn't in existence at that time. Until A.D. 3c, it had been named after $\ll$Guguen(九券)$\gg$, given it's number of volumes, and since then mainly named after $\ll$Chimgueng(針經)$\gg$, given a word of the first volume. After A.D. 6c, under the influence of Taoism(道家), it was titled $\ll$Yongchu(靈樞)$\gg$, $\ll$Guhe(九墟)$\gg$, $\ll$Gureong(九靈)$\gg$ etc. Yongchu(靈樞), guhe(九墟), gureong(九靈) are words which is connected with Taoism(道家). In 1155, Sung Sa(史崧) published $\ll$Yongchu(靈樞)$\gg$, whim became a textbook of oriental medicine, so other titles disappeared since then. $\ll$Yongchu(靈樞)$\gg$, $\ll$Guhe(九墟)$\gg$, $\ll$Gureong(九靈)$\gg$, $\ll$Guguen(九卷)$\gg$, $\ll$Chimgueng(針經)$\gg$ are not the same book, but the contents are almost similar, and some letters are different. Especially the textbook, pubished by Sasung(史崧), had been related to the $\ll$Chimgyeng(針經)$\gg$, delivered to North-Song(北宋) dynasty by Jong-Gag Haung(黃宗慤), an envoy of an ancient Korean state(918-1392). So I expect to progress the study of medical exchange about it in the future.

Borderline resectable pancreatic cancer, an intermediate stage between a completely resectable state and an unresectable state, requires a multidisciplinary treatment approach. This study aimed to elucidate the main characteristics and recent research trends regarding borderline resectable pancreatic cancer to gain further insights into them. Data from published papers about borderline resectable pancreatic cancer were collected from Web of Science (2014-2023) for the analysis. This study included 355 papers; data on major countries, publishing organizations, and keywords were collected and analyzed. Furthermore, R studio and VOSviewer were used for the qualitative and quantitative analyses of keywords. Publication of papers on borderline resectable pancreatic cancer was observed to be increasing annually by 12.8%, with the United States and Japan being the main publishing countries. In 2014, keywords related to surgery and chemotherapy were dominant; however, a shift toward more integrative approaches, such as neoadjuvant therapy, was observed over time. This study demonstrates rapidly evolving trends and paradigm changes in the research and management of borderline resectable pancreatic cancer. Thus, the results of this study are expected to contribute to establishing future research strategies and improving patient treatment outcomes.
