    Notes: AbstractBackground  Febrile ulceronecrotic Mucha-Habermann's disease (FUMHD) is a severe and very rare variant of pityriasis lichenoides et varilioformis acuta, which is characterized by large coalescing, and ulceronecrotic maculopapules or plaques. Morphological changes of the skin accompanied by persistent high fever and several constitutional symptoms have suggested virus infection in patients with FUMHD. However, the available information of viral origin is limited. In this study we investigated the relationship of cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8), type I human T-cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV-I), and parvovirus B19 (PVB19) with FUMHD in a Taiwanese patient.Methods  The existence of CMV, EBV, HHV8, HTLV-I, and PVB19 was determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The presence of CMV in the endothelial cells was characterized by in situ hybridization (ISH) and immunohistochemistry (IHC).Results  Serologic immunoglobulin to CMV and IHC identification of CMV late gene in the biopsy specimen indicated that the patient was infected with CMV. Detection of CMV was confirmed by PCR and ISH.Conclusions  These results indicate that FUMHD is associated with dermal CMV manifestation. Nonetheless, the induction mechanism of FUMHD with CMV infection has yet to be determined.

    Notes: Abstract The purpose of this investigation was to study the prevalence of fused roots, C-shaped roots, C-shaped root canal orifices and C-shaped root canals in the maxillary molars of a Chinese population. A total of 305 first molars and 309 second molars were collected in Taiwan. The teeth were demineralized and placed in methyl salicylate to make them transparent. Root fusion was examined and the pulp chamber floor was checked for C-shaped orifices. Chinese ink was then injected into the root canal system to demonstrate possible C-shaped canals. The maxillary first molars had the palatal root fused with the mesiobuccal root in 0.3% of the cases, and with the distobuccal root in 2.0%. Teeth with C-shaped roots existed in only 0.3% of maxillary first molars, while 6.2% of the maxillary first molars and 40.1% of the maxillary second molars had fused roots. The maxillary second molars had the palatal root fused with the mesiobuccal root in 18.1% and with the distobuccal root in 2.6%; the palatal root was fused with the mesiobuccal and distobuccal root in 8.1% of the material. The maxillary second molars had a C-shaped root in 4.5% and C-shaped root canal orifices with C-shaped root canals in 4.9% of the cases. Fused roots or incompletely separated roots are common in the maxillary second molars amongst Chinese people, while C-shaped roots and root canals in maxillary molars are not frequently seen.

    Notes: Abstract The purpose of this investigation was to study the prevalence of C-shaped roots, root canal orifices, and root canals in the mandibular second molars of a Chinese population. A total of 581 second mandibular molars were collected in Hong Kong and Taiwan. The teeth were demineralized and placed in methyl salicylate to induce transparency. The pulp chamber floor was examined to ascertain the number of root canal orifices. Chinese ink was then injected into the root canal system to demonstrate the root canal anatomy. The mandibular second molars had separate roots in 66.4%, cone-shaped roots in 2.1% and C-shaped roots in 31.5%. The C-shaped roots had C-shaped canal orifices in 68.3% (21.5% of whole material). True C-shaped root canals were observed in 65.8% of the teeth with C-shaped orifices and in 13.9% of the whole material. Separate root canals were seen in 34.2% of the teeth with C-shaped orifices. Separate canal orifices were found in 31.7% of the C-shaped roots and 7.4% of these roots had true C-shaped canals. In the whole material 0.9% of the roots with individual canal orifices had C-shaped canals. In conclusion, C-shaped root canals were common in mandibular second molars in the Chinese subjects studied. The C-shaped root canals were often, but not always recognized because of a C-shaped canal orifice.

    Notes: Aim.  This paper reports a study to compare the quality of life and its correlates for patients undergoing various types of renal replacement therapy.Background.  Patients with end stage renal disease need renal replacement therapy as a substitute for their original kidneys. Different renal replacement therapies have different levels of impact on physical, psychological and social health. Quality of life as perceived by patients with end-stage renal disease is an important measure of patient outcome.Methods.  A cross-sectional, descriptive, correlational study was carried out in 2002. A total of 240 patients were recruited from two medical centres in northern Taiwan. These patients were currently undergoing one of following types of renal replacement therapies: haemodialysis, continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis or transplantation. The study instrument used was the WHOQOL-BREF-TAIWAN. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics.Results.  The scores for quality of life of transplantation patients were higher than those for both haemodialysis and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients. The lowest scores for all three groups were in the psychological domain. The mean age for haemodialysis and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients was significantly higher than that for transplant patients. The educational level, proportion of single people, and employment status of transplant patients were significantly higher than those of haemodialysis and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients. Perception of economic status as ‘balanced’ or ‘proficient’ for transplant patients was significantly higher than for continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis and haemodialysis patients.Conclusion.  Information about the quality of life of patients having various types of renal replacement therapy will assist physicians, nurses, patients and their families to make decisions on treatment selection. There is a need to establish support groups for patients having renal replacement therapy in order to enhance their quality of life, especially in the psychological domain.

    Notes: Comparative risk assessment is an evaluation process designed to rank environmental problems based on the severity of potential hazards. The purpose of this paper is to provide an effective statistical approach to analyze perceived environmental risks. Environmental problems, evaluative criteria, and other potential moderator variables need to be determined first, and then the risk perception data collected. Repeated measures analysis is used to first test for interactions between environmental problems and potential moderator variables. If there are no significant interactions, then the risk difference among environmental problems is tested unconditionally; otherwise the risk difference is tested conditionally. Cluster analysis for environmental problems is performed only when the risk difference is significant. The clustering results can be objectively determined by using the simultaneous T2 confidence intervals. Risk-based priority setting is made according to the clusters obtained. To illustrate this approach, an empirical study of comparative socioeconomic risks in Taiwan was conducted. Socioeconomic impacts areas including social security, quality of life, production cost, investment willingness, and economic resources are used as evaluative criteria. Results indicate that selected impact areas do affect relative risk differences among 24 environmental problems, and the difference is significant for each area. Therefore, cluster analysis is conducted separately for each impact area. Risk-based priority settings for clusters of environmental problems are reported.

    Notes: Six native speakers of Mandarin Chinese recorded 140 preselected utterances in three role-play contexts that differentially elicited registers of babytalk to presyllabic infants (BTP), foreign language instruction (FLI), and adult conversation (AC). Sound spectrograms were used to obtain 10 measures of fundamental frequency (Fo) patterns for comparisons among the three registers. In FLI, the speakers expanded Fo patterns in time and Fo range in comparison with AC. They clarified lexical tonal information and seemed to reduce suprasegmental information. In BTP, the speakers raised peak and minimum Fo, reduced the rate of Fo fluctuations, and increased the proportion of terminal rising contours. The speakers reduced, neglected, or modified lexical tonal information in favor of simplified and clarified intonation contours. The significance of the results is discussed in relation to tone acquisition in children and to a universal intuitive didactic competence in caretakers.
