The objective of this study is to report the improved case of Korean medicine treatment with Aconitum ciliare decaisne pharmacopuncture for supraspinatus tendon full-thickness tear. We used Aconitum ciliare Decaisne pharmacopuncture with other Korean medicine treatments (acupuncture, electroacupuncture, and cupping) for this patient. This case is measured and assessed by the numerical rating scale (NRS), shoulder range of motion (ROM), shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI) and shoulder physical examination. As the result, we found the improvement of NRS, SPADI, ROM, and shoulder physical examination. This study suggested that Korean medicine treatment with Aconitum ciliare Decaisne pharmacopuncture is proved to be helpful to relieve pain and recover function for supraspinatus tendon full-thickness tear. But further clinical studies are needed to clarify the effect of Aconitum ciliare Decaisne pharmacopuncture therapy for patients with supraspinatus tendon full-thickness tear.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the morphological characteristics of the roots and roots canals of primary molar teeth using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT).A total of 68 CBCT images of children aged 4 -5 years was used for this study. A total of 160 molar teeth were analyzed. Various parameters such as the number of roots and canals, length of root and root canal, and the angulation and shape of the roots were analyzed.All maxillary primary molars had 3 roots. The presence of 2 root canals in 1 root was only observed in the mesiobuccal root of maxillary primary second molars. Most mandibular primary molars had 2 roots, and most mesial roots had 2 root canals.Concerning the length of the roots, the palatal root of the maxillary primary molar was found to be longest whereas the distobuccal root was shortest. In mandibular primary molars, the mesial root was longer than the distal root. In maxillary primary molars, the palatal root had the greatest angulation whereas the distal root has the greatest in mandibular molars. The root and root canals of maxillary primary molars were more curved in shape whereas mandibular primary molars were straight. Abstract 25
