RESUMO
Objective To explore the effect of comprehensive intervention on social function and quality of life of patients with bipolar disorder (BD) in maintenance treatment period.Methods A total of 83 patients with BD were assigned into intervention group (n=41) and control group (n=42).Based on the original drug treatment,the intervention group was given comprehensive intervention,including BD health education,drug self-management,serf-monitoring of symptoms,interpersonal skills,coping and relaxation skills,learning to seek help from medical staff and others.The control group was treated with simple drug therapy.Before grouping,at the end of the third month and twelfth month,Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS),Hamilton Depression Scale 17 items (HAMD17),Social Disability Screening Schedule (SDSS),Short Form 36 items Health survey Questionnaire (SF-36) were assessed.Results There were no differences in YMRS,HAMD,SDSS total score between the two groups before grouping(P＞0.05).The score of YMRS in the intervention group ((0.59±1.45) was lower than that in the control group(2.07±3.87) at the end of the 12th month,the difference was statistically significant (P=0.024).The score of SDSS in the intervention group (1.63± 1.77,0.78± 1.78) were statistically lower than that in control group (3.57± 1.78,2.74± 1.27) at the end of the 3th and 12th month(P＜0.01).There were statistically differences between the two groups in rolephysical(RP) (t=2.858,P =0.005),role-emotional (RE) (t =2.956,P =0.005),social function (SF) (t =4.163,P＜0.01),vitality (VT) (t =5.150,P＜ 0.01),mental health (MH) (t =2.830,P=0.007),general health (GH) (t=4.055,P＜0.01),difference in reported health transition (HT) (t=-2.092,P=0.042)at the end of 3th month.The differences were statistically significant in RE (t =3.290,P =0.001),SF (t =2.876,P =0.006),VT(t=5.831,P＜0.01),MH(t=4.839,P＜0.01),GH(t=3.752,P＜0.01) at the end of 12th month between the two groups.Conclusion On the base of medicine treatment,comprehensive intervention can effectively improve the social function and life quality of patients with BD in maintenance treatment period.

RESUMO
Oral and maxillofacial infection is the oldest and most common disease in human history. The infection ranges from the low-grade infection that only requires minimal treatment to the high-grade and life-threatening fascial space infection. In this study, the data on oral and maxillofacial infections were analyzed to aid in the diagnosis and treatment, and to predict the prognosis. This report was based on data from 831 patients with oral and maxillofacial infection (394 males and 437 females) who were hospitalized in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial surgery of Chosun University Dental Hospital from January 1998 to May 2005. The ratio of males to females was 0.9:1. By age, patients between 60 and 70 years old were the greatest in number (17.1%), while only 5.9% of the patients were between 10 and 20 years old. The most common cause of infection was odontogenic origin (84.4%), followed by post-extraction infection (6.2%), unknown (5.9%), and trauma (3.5%). The most common fascial space involved was the buccal space (39.4%), followed by the canine (20.6%), submandibular (15.9%), pterygomandibular (9.5%), submental (7.6%) and sublingual (2.8%) space. The number of the involved fascial space was one (75.2%), two (19.8%), or more than three (5.0%). In terms of the treatment duration, the hospitalization period of 6 to 10 days was the greatest in number (49.9%). All patients had uneventful recovery without major complication. There are statistically significant correlations between age and treatment period, and the involved space and treatment period, but no correlations between the variables of sex and treatment.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the factors affecting the outcome of occlusion treatment for amblyopia. METHODS: We analyzed 80 amblyopic patients who had been followed up more than 6 months after occlusion treatment according to the age at start of treatment, initial corrected visual acuity of amblyopic eye, difference of corrected visual acuity between two eyes, type of amblyopia, type of occlusion and patient compliance. RESULTS: Mean age was 6.01+/-1.76 (3~12) years at start of treatment and mean treatment period was 4.51+/-3.40 (2~12) months. Success of treatment was defined as optotype acuity of 0.5 or better in the amblyopic eye and less than one-line difference between the two eyes. The success rate was 74% (59/80) and the time for initial visual improvement was 1.57+/-0.77 months. The age at start of treatment did not correlate with the success rate and period of treatment. But the less the difference of corrected visual acuity between the two eyes and the greater the initial corrected visual acuity, the higher the success rate and the shorter the period of treatment. And the better the compliance, the higher the success rate. Aniosmetropic amblyopia and strabismic amblyopia had the higher success rate and shorter treatment of period than mixed type amblyopia. In anisometropic amblypia, hyperopic and astigmatic type had the shorter period of treatment than myopic type. In the group of the smaller difference in refractive error, the success rate was high and period of treatment was short. In strabismic amblyopia, exotropia had the higher success rate and shorter peroid of treatment than esotropia. But the prism diopter did not correlate with the success rate and period of treatment. CONCLUSIONS: For occlusion treatment of amblyopia, we must consider many factorsto establish the treatment plan and to predict the outcome of treatment.
