PURPOSE: This study tried to explore factors influencing on job maintenance of the mentally disabled who employed before. The subjects of this study were the mentally disabled who participated in community mental health center and social rehabilitation center, there had experienced a job in the past. METHODS: The number of community centers were 27 places, there were located in different region. The number of participants were 221 persons agreed to this study. Data was analyzed by Mean, SD and logistic regression analyzation using SPSS/WIN 14.0. RESULTS: General character such as age was significant factor. Monthly pay and working a day in the midst of job related factors were significant. Moreover, job rehabilitation program satisfaction rate and social support revealed significant factors. CONCLUSION: On the basis of results, Job rehabilitation programs for job maintenance of the mentally disabled should be development and establish mediate strategies to improve social support to them.

Computed body tomography has become useful in the diagnosis of pancreatic disease. It was found to be are liable, often specific, and noninvasive method for detecting pancreatitis and extra-pancreatic extension of the pathology. Of eight hundred and seventy-two cases studied for abdominal pathology with EMI-CT 5005 whole body scanner form Oct. 1977 to August 1980, 21 cases were confirmed to be pancreatitis clinically or operatively. The authors reviewed the CT findings of the above cases and the results were as follows; 1. Among twenty-one cases, the acute pancreatitis was 12 cases and the chronic pancreatitis was 9 cases. The sex ratio as 17 males to females. 2. In acute pancreatitis, diffuse enlargement of pancreas (11/12), focal enlargement (1/12), loss of peripancreatic fat plane (9/12), thickening of anterior of pararenal fascia (6/12), and smooth margin ofpancreas (5/12) were observed. 3. In chronic pancreatitis, parenchymal atrophy (7/9), normal size (2/9), loss of peripancreatic fat plane (3/9), thickening of anterior pararenal fascia (1/9), calcification (1/9), smooth margin (2/9), and serrated margin (6/9) were observed. 4. The complications were associated with 7 cases of acute pancreatitis and 1 case of chronic pancreatitis; pseudocyst (6), abscess (2), and fat necrosis (3), The sites of the pseudocyst were lesser sac (2), anterior pararenal space (2), posterior pararenal space (1), subhepatic region (1), greater omentum (1), and intrapancreatic region (2). All of them were associated with acute pancreatitis except one in chronic pancreatitis.

We reviewed 178 patients with hypertensive intracerebral hematoma(HICH), which were treated with computed tomography(CT) guided stereotactic aspiration from Aug. 1986 to Dec. 1993(166 CT guided U-loop and 12 Leksell system). Our series consisted of 82 males and 96 females. The hemorrhages were located in putamen in 67.4%, thalamus in 20.2%, subcortex in 9% and cerebellum in 3.4%. Mean removal rate of hematoma was 55.3%. The results for the 178 cases who underwent stereotactic aspiration were good recovery in 45.5%, moderate disability in 28.0%, severe disability in 9.0% and vegetative state in 4.0%. The infection rate and rebleeding rate of all cases were 1.7% and 6.8% respectively. The mortality rate of all cases was 13.5%. We analysed the factors affecting the prognosis in 178 patients. Factors affecting good prognosis were high initial GCS, less amount of initial hematoma and no presence of intraventricular hemorrhage. Stereotactic aspiration by CT-guided U-loop and Leksell system is simple, safe and can minimize the brain damage. This method can e performed under local anesthesia.

Subdural empyema is a fulminating, purulent, bacterial infection located between the dura and arachnoidal membrane. Early diagnosis, adequate antibiotic therapy and surgical treatment played important roles in the successful management of subdural empyema. Subdural empyema can develop secondary to sinusitis, otitis media, meningitis, trauma or craniotomy. Subdural empyema in infants commonly develops secondary to infected subdural effusion associated with purulent meningitis. The incidence of this complication of meningitis in infants is approximately 2%. We report a case of subdural empyema concomitant with bilateral subdural effusion, which was successfully treated with surgical intervention and antibiotic therapy.

This study was conducted on 342 patients(male 157, female 185)aged 8 to 15 years old, who visited Dankook University Dental Hospital. Pre-orthodontic treatment orthopantomograms were used to assess the dental calcification stages of mandibular 3rd molar, 2nd molar, 2nd premolar and 1st premolar by 8 stages.(by Demirjian) Hand-wrist radiogrms were used to evaluate the skeletal maturity in 11 stages.(by Fishman) Following results were obtained after investigating the correlationship between dental calcification and skeletal maturity. 1. Chronologic age showed high correlation to dental calcification and skeletal maturity. 2. Dental calcification and skeletal maturity showed high correlation and no statistical difference was observed between male and female. 3. SMI stages 1 to 4 showed high statiscal significance to mandibular 2nd molar, 2nd premolar and 1st premolar. SMI stages 5 to 8 showed high stastical significance to mandibular 2nd molar, 2nd premolar. SMI stages 9 to 11 showed high statistical significance to mandibular 3rd molar.

This study has been performed to determine whether significant differences in the maxillary basal bone pattern exist between skeletal Class ill malocclusion and normal occlusion. Mterials for the skeletal Class ill sample consisted of lateral cephalometric roentgenograms and maxillary cast models of 29 adult individuals, 15 males and 14 females. The average age was 19.75 years with a range from 16.4 to 29.1 years. A normal control sample consisted of lateral cephalometric roentgenograms and maxillary cast models of 24 adult individuals, 13 males and 11 females. The average age was 24.25 years with a range from 20.8 to 29.4 years. The results of this study can be summarized and concluded as like follows. 1. In comparing sexual difference of maxillary basal bone morphology in skeletal Class III malocclusion, the following parameters of males were found to be significally larger than those of females : inter first premolar width, inter molar width, oblique canine height, oblique molar height and maxillary basal bone perimeter. 2. In comparing sexual difference of maxillary basal bone morphology in normal occlusion, the following parameters of males were found to be significally larger than those of females : inter canine width, inter first and second premolar width, inter molar width, oblique canine height and oblique molar height. 3. In comparing maxillary basal bone morphologic difference between skeletal Class III malocclusion and normal occlusion in males, the following parameters were found to be significally larger in normal occlusion : inter canine width, inter canine height, inter molar height, oblique canine height and oblique molar height. 4. In comparing maxillary basal bone morphologic difference between skeletal Class III malocclusion and normal occlusion in females, the following parameters were found to be significally larger in normal occlusion : inter canine height, inter molar height, oblique canine height, oblique molar height and maxillary basal bone perimeter.

This study was carried out to research the adaptation patterns of head posture after activator therapy in functional class ill malocclusion patients. For this purpose, 29 functional class III malocclusion patients, from the ages of 8 to 13 years old, were used. 1. Increase in capacity of oral cavity capacity were found in all the samples, but craniocervical angulation were varied into increased group and decreased group after activator therapy. 2. Head posture exhibited the compensatory adaptation in the relative growth increments of the vertical dimension, ALFH and PLFH. 1) A group with more PLFH and less sagittal angle showed relatively small growth increment in PLFH during the treatment period, thus craniocervical angulation was increased. 2) A group with less PLFH and more sagittal angle showed relatively great growth incrmenet in PLFH during the treatment period, thus craniocervical angulation was decreased.

Polyarteritis nodosa is a systemic inflammatory disease resulting from necrotizing angitis of small to medium sized arteries. It involves various organs, including the gastrointestinal tract, which is involved in about 50% of all cases. Numerous complications-including abdominal pain, vomiting, and hematemesis-have been reported, but the CT findings have not been described. We report the CT findings in a case of gastric polyarteritis nodosa, and correlate these with the histopathologic findings.
