Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the bidirectional association between burning mouth syndrome (BMS) and depression disorders. Methods: A total of 854 pairs of BMS and 58 999 pairs of depression disorders matched 1:1 for age and sex were analyzed using conditional logistic regression models, which were adjusted for potential confounding factors. Results: Bidirectional analysis found that BMS was associated with depression disorders (odds ratio=4.64, P < 0.001) and depression disorders was also significantly associated with BMS (odds ratio=2.97, P < 0.001). Conclusion: These findings indicate a significant bidirectional association between BMS and depression disorders. The odds ratios suggest that BMS is a stronger predictor for incidence of depression disorders than depression disorders predicting incidence of BMS. Given this retrospective cohort design, the mechanisms underlying the association between BMS and depression disorders are not directly analyzed. Therefore, further investigation are needed to analyze the causality between BMS and depression disorders.

The present study reviews bridge management index and bridge management system (BMS) in China, Japan, Korea, and U.S. In Korea, BMS should include functions enable to quantify the risks, safety, and optimization models of cost/benefit associated with bridges. There are similarities in bridge management index of four countries.

This paper is introduced to construction and operation of the BMS(Bridge Management System) for structure management of long-span bridge. one of the best long span bridge for marine bridge in korea is Incheon bridge. Incheon bridge have applied to BMS for bridge management from construction period to operation and management period. Incheon Bridge during the bridge life cycle by taking advantage of the BMS systematic and efficient inspection management system is available that can extend the life of the bridge by building bridges and management history, and during the operation
