    Abstract Background: The aim of the present study was to compare the biological and mechanical properties of a novel dual-cure, resin-modified calcium silicate material, Theracal PT
    Methods: The cell counting kit-8 was used on human dental pulp cells to test cell the viability of the three materials. Antibacterial activity of TP, TL, and BD against
    Results: There was no significant difference in cell viability between TL and TP after 48 h, and BD showed the highest cell viability, while TP showed the highest antibacterial effect. At the 12-h time point, there was no significant difference in ColI and OCN expression between BD and TP, but TP showed a higher expression of OPN than BD. However, at the 48-h time point, ColI and OCN showed higher levels of expression for BD than for TP and TL. At the same time point, only OPN had a higher diffusion for TP than for BD. TP demonstrated a VHN of approximately 30-35. This value was higher than that of TL and lower than that of BD. In contrast to VHN, the shear bond strength to resin was significantly higher for TL and TP than for BD.
    Conclusion: TP showed lower biocompatibility than BD but higher OPN expression and antibacterial effects than BD and TL. TP showed higher shear bond strength than BD and higher VHN than TL and BD at the 24-h time point.

    Abstract Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) has gained attention as a reliable technique for investigating the intrinsic function patterns of the brain. It facilitates the extraction of functional connectivity networks (FCNs) that capture synchronized activity patterns among regions of interest (ROIs). Analyzing FCNs enables the identification of distinctive connectivity patterns associated with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). For MCI diagnosis, various sparse representation techniques have been introduced, including statistical- and deep learningbased methods. However, these methods face limitations due to their reliance on supervised learning schemes, which restrict the exploration necessary for probing novel solutions. To overcome such limitation, prior work has incorporated reinforcement learning (RL) to dynamically select ROIs, but effective exploration remains challenging due to the vast search space during training. To tackle this issue, in this study, we propose an advanced RL-based framework that utilizes a divide-and-conquer approach to decompose the FCN construction task into smaller subproblems in a subject-specific manner, enabling efficient exploration under each sub-problem condition. Additionally, we leverage the learned value function to determine the sparsity level of FCNs, considering individual characteristics of FCNs. We validate the effectiveness of our proposed framework by demonstrating its superior performance in MCI diagnosis on publicly available cohort datasets.

    Abstract This study aimed to determine whether patients with type 2 diabetes can benefit from a meal plan designed based on diabetes management guidelines to improve blood glucose levels. Participants were divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group consumed a diabetic diet for 2 weeks, while the control group consumed their normal diet. After 2 weeks, the groups switched their dietary regimens. The participants' demographic and clinical characteristics were evaluated, including factors such as blood pressure, blood lipid levels, weight and waist circumference, blood glucose levels (self-monitored and continuously monitored), nutritional status, and blood-based markers of nutrient intake. The dietary intervention group improved waist circumference, body fat percentage, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride levels, and glucose. The energy composition ratio of carbohydrates and proteins changed favorably, and sugar intake decreased. In addition, the proportion of continuous glucose monitoring readings within the range of 180-250 mg/dL was relatively lower in the intervention group than that of the control group. Meals designed based on diabetes management guidelines can improve clinical factors, including stable blood glucose levels in daily life, significantly decrease the carbohydrate energy ratio, and increase the protein energy ratio. This study can help determine the role of dietary interventions in diabetes management and outcomes.

    Abstract Background: Extrathyroidal extension (ETE) significantly affects the treatment strategy for thyroid cancer. We present a new method to predict ETE of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).
    Methods: We enrolled 1 481 patients with PTCs. The ETE was classified into minimal and gross ETE. Using the novel "contact angle of the tumor on sonography" (CATS) system, we calculated optimal cutoffs for predicting ETE according to tumor location and compared the diagnostic performance to that of previous methods.
    Results: The optimal cutoff angles for predicting anterior minimal and gross ETE were 41.5° and 49.4°, respectively, while those for posterior ETE were 39.8° and 54.6°, respectively. The optimal cutoff angle predicting tracheal ETE was 88.0°. The diagnostic performance was comparable to that of previous methods.
    Conclusion: The CATS method for predicting ETE is a valuable alternative.

    Abstract Neuromodulation using high-energy focused ultrasound (FUS) has recently been developed for various neurological disorders, including tremors, epilepsy, and neuropathic pain. We investigated the safety and efficacy of low-energy FUS for patients with chronic neuropathic pain. We conducted a prospective single-arm trial with 3-month follow-up using new transcranial, navigation-guided, focused ultrasound (tcNgFUS) technology to stimulate the anterior cingulate cortex. Eleven patients underwent FUS with a frequency of 250 kHz and spatial-peak temporal-average intensity of 0.72 W/cm

    Abstract Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), a tumor of the bile duct epithelium, is increasing in incidence. CCA remains a highly fatal malignancy because early diagnosis is difficult. Based on its anatomical location, CCA can be categorized into the following three groups: perihilar, intrahepatic, and extrahepatic. Patients with CCA complain of asymptomatic jaundice, weight loss, and right upper quadrant abdominal discomfort. Imaging modalities, including transabdominal ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, play an important role in detecting tumors as well as guiding biopsy procedures and staging workups in CCA. Characteristically, extrahepatic CCA shows abrupt changes in ductal diameter with upstream ductal dilation. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) are recommended as the next step in the evaluation of extrahepatic CCA. Tissue is obtained through EUS-FNA or ERCP (biopsy, brush cytology), and therapeutic intervention (such as stent insertion) is performed with ERCP. Moreover, several serum tumor markers (carbohydrate antigen 19-9 and carcinoembryonic antigen) can be useful in diagnosing CCA in some patients.

    Abstract Paleoparasitology is a discipline that applies existing conventional and molecular techniques to study parasites found in ancient ruins. This review focuses on the history of the discovery of parasites (mostly helminth eggs and larvae) in archaeological soil samples and mummies in Korea from the Three Kingdoms Period to the Joseon Dynasty (100 BCE-1910 CE). We also briefly review important milestones in global paleoparasitology. The helminth species reported so far in Korea included Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, Strongyloides stercoralis (larva), Trichostrongylus sp. (larva), Paracapillaria philippinensis (syn. Capillaria philippinensis), Enterobius vermicularis, Fasciola hepatica, dicrocoeliids, Paragonimus westermani, Clonorchis sinensis, Metagonimus yokogawai, Pygidiopsis summa, Gymnophalloides seoi, Isthmiophora hortensis, Dibothriocephalus nihonkaiensis (syn. Diphyllobothrium nihonkaiense), and Taenia spp. tapeworms. The findings obtained by Korean paleoparasitologists/archaeologists have brought about deep insight into the status of helminthic infections in Korea's past populations. Continued paleoparasitological research is essential for further understanding of ancient parasites and parasitic diseases in Korea.
