Illness intrusiveness(illness induced lifestyle disruption) was investigated in 902 patients with arthritis and compared between rheumatoid arthritis(N=439) and osteoarthritis(N=463) patients. Arthritis patients were reported to perceive illness intrusiveness similar to patients with ESRD(end stage renal disease), bipolar disorder and peritoneal dialysis. Especially they were intrusive into health, work, and active recreation domains. And patients with rheumatoid arthritis were significantly more intrusive into activities, especially in diet, financial situation, family relations, other social relations, self-expression/self improvement, religious expression, and community and civic involvement. Differences in treatment regimens and age were hypothesized to account for these differences in illness intrusiveness.

The purpose of this study is to estimate the reaction of rat subcutaneous tissues following exposure to the various concentrations of formocresol (100, 50, 20%), eugenol (100, 75, 50%), and sodium hypochlorite. (5, 3.5, 0.5%) The results were as follows: 1. As the concentration of formocresol was decreased, the inflammatory reaction was decreased conspicuously. 2. The inflammatory reaction of 100% eugenol was appeared to be similar to that of 75% eugenol. The inflammatory reaction of 50% eugenol was decreased conspicuously. 3. No significant differences were found in inflammatory response between 3.5% and 5% sodium hypochlorite. 4. The inflammatory reaction of 0.5% sodium hypochlorite was mild and appeared to be similar to that of saline solution in 7 days.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the adjustment process of patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis(ALS). Method: The data were collected from May 2007 to February 2008 through individual in-depth interviews with 4 ALS patients. The data collection and analysis were performed according to grounded theory methodology, as suggested by Strauss and Corbin. Results: 'Accepting the sick role' was the central phenomenon, which was derived from 'perceiving an intial symptom'. Therefore, the adjustment pattern was represented by using the different strategies, which were 'raising hope' and 'hoping to dye comfortably'. For taking a view of the future, ALS patients adopted the strategies of 'living positively', 'being treated hardly', 'joining in the experience', 'depending on the absolute being', 'recognizing the dying process'. Conclusion: This study provides guidance for the development of nursing interventions for patients with ALS.

This study was conducted to compare the chip removal capability of root canal enlarging instruments. Fifty five buccal or mesial canals from upper and lower molar teeth were randomly selected and divided into three groups; Reamer, K-type file and K-flex file. Fifteen canals in each group were individually enlarged with one of three tested instruments and irrigated with 5cc of normal saline solution. After instrumentation, each canal was dried with paper point and the canal was splited longitudinally and the cleanness of root canal surface was evaluated under stereoscope by three observers. The results were as follows; 1. Most of the canals experimented showed varying degree of the presence of debris. 2. The canals prepared with reamers showed the most clean canal surface. 3. There was no significant difference in debridement effect between k-type file and k-flexfile.

The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of short term selp-help education on pain, depression, self-efficacy, and quality of life in patients having chronic arthritis. This program was carried out 3 hrs per week for 4 weeks by 3 small groups among 10 patients. Research design was a quasi-experimental study of nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. The subject of this study were 10 of experimental group and 10 of control group. Before and after 4 weeks program, quality of life, self-efficacy, depression, pain, ADL were measured. As a result, it was confirmed the self-help education was effective to increase quality of life, but self-efficacy, depression, pain, ADL were not improved. This suggests the replicate study to examine the effect of self-help education with the large samples of subjects having chronic arthritis.

Chronic fatigue syndrome Is a syndrome of unknown etiology and pathophysiology characterized by severe, chronic, debilitating fatigue as main symptom and numerous additional symptoms such as joint and muscle pain, headache, sleep disturbance. According to recent researches, it was suggested that chronic fatigue syndrome was developed by disturbance of interaction between neuropsychiatric system and immune system due to environmental factors and stress. Many patients experience gradual improvement but complete recovery from disorderd state is rare. There was no research elucidating the exact pathogenetic mechanism of chronic fatigue syndrome, so there was no established treatment. Several controlled studies about treatment was reported, but its results was not effective in all patients with chronic fatigue syndrome. For chronic fatigue syndrome, a comprehensive approach to physical, psychological, and social aspects is needed.

Purpose: This concept analysis was done to clarify therapeutic intervention in nursing. Methods: For this study the process of Walker & Avant's concept analysis was used. Twenty-nine studies from electronic data bases met criteria for selection. Results: Therapeutic intervention can be defined by the following attributes: 1) goal-oriented, 2) forming a therapeutic relationship, 3) reinforcement of coping ability, 4) patient-centered, 5) a holistic integrated approach. The consequences of therapeutic intervention were improvement of quality of life, coping skills, self-care. Conclusion: Attributes of therapeutic intervention identified in this study can be applied to develop tools for measuring therapeutic nursing behaviors or to develop therapeutic nursing intervention programs for patient or family.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the hybrid instrumentation method with ProTaper and ProFile on the change of root canal area and distance from the canal to the root surface after canal shaping. The mesial canals of twenty extracted mandibular first molars having $10-20^{\circ}\Delta$ curvature were scanned using X-ray microcomputed tomography (XMCT)-scanner before root canals were instrumented. They were divided into four groups (n=10 canals ter group). In Group 1, root canals were instrumented by the step-back technique with stainless steel K-Flexofile after coronal flaring. The remainders were instrumented by the crown-down technique with, ProTaper system (Group 2), ProFile (Group 3) or ProTaper (Group 4). All canals were prepared up to size 25 at the end-point of preparation and scanned again. Pre- and post-operative cross-sectional images of 1, 3, 5, and 7 mm from the apical foramen were compared. For each level, change of cross-sectional canal are and distance to the nearest external root surface was calculated using Adobe Photoshop 6.0 and image software program. In the change of cross-sectional area, Group 4 was less than Group 2 at 3 mm and 5 mm level (p<0.05). In the difference of the distance from the canal to the root surface after canal shaping, Group 4 was least among the other groups at 7 mm level (p<0.05). According to the results, the methods using ProFile or K file only and the hybrid instrumentation technique using ProTaper and ProFile are more appropriate methods of canal preparation than ProTaper system for narrow of curved canals.

근막극(fascial space)이란 느슨한 결체조직으로 채워진 근층(fascial plane)사이에 존재하는 잠재적인 공간으로 두개악안면 부위에는 복잡한 해부학적 구조와 근육들에 의해 많은 근막 간극이 존재한다. 이들 근막극은 두개악안면부위에 감염이 존재할 경우 일반적으로 근층에 의하여 자연적으로 감염의 확산이 제한되기도 하지만, 감염의 정도가 심한 경우에는 이러한 근층이 파괴되어 감염이 인접 근막 간극으로 전파되는 자연적인 통로가 되며 이로 인해 안면과 경부의 심층까지 감염이 확산되기도 한다. 치성감염이 연조직내로 침투하면 결체조직을 통하여 그리고 근막극을 따라 최소저항의 방향으로 확산되므로 염증은 치성 원인에서 먼 곳까지 파급될 수 있고 심지어는 생명까지도 위험하게 된다. 두경부 연조직의 감염은 현대에는 다양한 항생제가 발달되어 치료에 도움을 주고 있으나, 조기에 적절한 치료가 이루어지지 않을 경우에는 기도폐쇄, 균혈증, 뇌농양, 혈전성 정맥염 등의 심각한 합병증을 야기할 수 있으므로 이들에 대한 조기진단과 적극적인 치료가 필요하겠다. 본 증례에서는 두경부 악안면 근막극 농양환아에 있어서 근관내 배농을 통하여 치료한 바 외과적 술식을 이용한 치료에 비하여 다음과 같은 잇점이 있는것으로 평가되어 이에 보고하는 바이다. 1) 입원을 피함으로서 환자의 경제적 부담 감소 2) 시술의 편의성 3) 환아의 공포감 조성 방지
