Human infection with the lung fluke Paragonimus westermani has become rare in Korea. Human paragonimiasis is caused by eating raw fresh-water crayfishes or crabs infected with larval metacercariae. Recently, we experienced three cases of pulmonary paragonimiasis in a family. They ate raw fresh-water crayfishes that lived in a stream in Wolchulmountain. All the parients had hypereosinophilia and pulmonary infiltrates with pleural effusion or hydropneumothorax, which did not improve on antibiotics. Ingestion of raw crayfishes was a clue for paragonimiasis. Positive results were shown both on intradermal skin test and ELISA for Paragonimus westermani specific IgG. After treatment with praziquantel, the patients showed an improvement. This is the first familial human paragonimiasis, reported from Wolchulmountain in Chonnam Province where there had been no previous cases of paragonimiasis.

In 1923 Pierre-Robin first described the triad of micrognathia, glossptosis and high-arched or cleft palate. Respiratory distress is not an uncommon occurrence and requires prompt and appropriate treatment. The syndrome occurs once in approximately 50,000 births. Although the etiology of the syndrome is obscure, it is known that the syndrome probably results from a primary deficiency early in fetal life of mandibular development. The symptoms of airway obstruction develop as the base of the tongue falls posteriorly and approximates the posterior pharyngeal wall because of micrognathia, and is aggravated when the infant is in the supine position. The problems of mild airway obstruction can be solved by keeping the infant in the prone position. In case there are feeding difficulties, prompt glossopexy should be preformed as airway is aggravated, but tracheostomy is best avoided. There is some forms of glossopexy including Douglas operation, the insertion of Kirschner wire and Duhamel suture. We identified micrognathia, glossoptosis and high-arched palate in a 2-month-old infant who was brought to our hospital with complaints of dyspnea and feeding difficulties, and we reports this case, since we think this infant whom we observe after tracheostomy because we found Duhamel suture could not relieve the symptoms of airway obstruction as Pierre-Robin syndrome.

Introduction : Oral motor function is basic function of sensory exploration, feeding, and communication, that develops from the fetal stage to childhood. Problems with oral motor function result in difficulty within handling food in the oral cavity, decreased swallowing and feeding skills, difficulty with communication, and problems with oral hygiene. To treat these symptoms, oral motor therapy is provided for normalizing sensory adaptation in the oral cavity, and increasing postural control, oral movement and oral motor function. Discussion : The oral motor facilitation technique (OMFT) was developed for increasing general and integrated oral motor function based on the following: 1) understanding orofacial muscular physiology; 2) a comprehensive approach to sensory·adaptation·behavior·cognition; 3) sensorimotor stimulation by a manual approach; 4) motor control and motor learning theory. The OMFT is a new evidence-based treatment protocol, for children and adults with neuromuscular and oral motor problems. Conclusion : The goal of this article is to provide a theoretical background for OMFT development and the basic concept for the clinical application of OMFT. We hope that this article will help oral motor therapy experts to provide effective therapy in a more professional way.

말 원충성척수뇌염(equine protozoal myeloencenphalitis; EPM)은 말에게 심각한 신경성 질병을 일으키는 원충성 질병으로서 Sarcocystis neurona가 원인체이다. 근육포자낭(sarcocyst)을 숨기고 있는 자연중간숙주를 포함한 S. nuerona의 완전한 생활사는 알려져 있지 않으나 주머니쥐의 일종인 opossum(Didelphis virginiana, Didelphis albiventris)이 최종 숙주이며, 말은 정상적 숙주로 알려져 있다. 왜냐하면 말에서는 분열체(schizonts)와 분열소체(merozoites)가 발견되기 때문이다. EPM 유사 질병들이 고양이, 밍크, 너구리, 스컹크, 태평양 점박이 바다표범, 포니, 바다수달 등을 포함한 다양한 포유류에서 발생한다. 고양이는 포자낭(sporocytes) 섭식 후 근육포자낭 단계를 숨기는 실험적인 중간숙주로서 역할을 할 수 있다. 최근 국내에서 신경증상을 나타내는 말에 대한 의심스러운 임상증상이 임상수의사들에 의해 관찰되어졌는, 정확한 진단을 하기위하여 S. nuerona에 의해 발생된 EPM의 역사, 구조, 생활사, 생물학, 병리론, 동물에서 질병 유도, 임상 증상, 진단, 병인론, 생태학, 치료 등에 대하여 알아보고자 한다.

Objective : The purpose of the present study is to investigate the effects of Ayres Sensory Integration (ASI^®) with play-centered oral defensiveness reduction activities on the oral sensitivity of a child with oral defensiveness. Methods : The subject was a three-and-a-half year-old boy with a developmental delay. The study was performed from August to September, 2018. The research design used in this study is the design for single-subject research. The experimental period was divided into three phases: three sessions for the initial baseline phase (A), 15 sessions for the treatment phase (B), and three sessions for the final baseline phase (A'). Ayres Sensory Integration (ASI^®) with active oral play was conducted in the treatment phase. The Measuring Oral Sensitivity in Practice was used to test changes in the oral sensitivity level. The Korean Children's Eating Behavior Inventory and Food Checklist were used to assess the difference in functions related to oral sensitivity before and after the intervention. Results : In comparison with the baseline phase, the Measuring Oral Sensitivity in Practice and Korean Children's Eating Behavior Inventory were improved during the treatment phase, but the Food Intake checklist score was not changed after the treatment phase. Conclusion : The use of Ayres Sensory Integration (ASI^®) with active oral play produced positive results and reduced the child's oral sensitivity and eating problems.

Freeman-Sheldon Syndrome (FSS, also known as "Whistling Face Syndrome") is a rare genetic condition which characteristically includes a small "whistling" mouth, a flat mask-like face, club feet, joint contractures usually involving the fingers and hands, and under-development of the cartilage of the nose. Intelligence is usually normal. Most of the features of this syndrome are due to muscle weakness. The patient, 11 years old boy was consulted from pediatrics to pediatric dentistry due to dental management. After clinical & radiographic examinations, severe multiple problems were found. Dental problems were microsomia(whistling mouth) & micrognathia, perioral muscle contracture, restricted mouth opening, poor oral hygiene & care, generalized dental caries, high palatal vault, severe malocclusion & crowding. And Orthopedic problems, ophthalmic & respiratory, anesthetic problems were found. Then He also had psychiatric problem, hospital(dental) phobia due to previous medical history(frequent hospitalization). And he had genital problem, cryptochidism, too. Due to these intricate problems, he suffered with feeding, swallowing difficulties and showed growth retardation. For enhancing patient's oral health, pediatric dentist, orthodontist, oral surgeon, pediatrician, psychiatrist, orthopedist, they all agree with early, cautious intervention and treatment.

Objectives: This study was performed to review the research trends in the treatment of eating disorder in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Methods: The CNKI database (China National Knowledge Infrastructure) was searched under the key words ‘Eating Disorder’, ‘Anorexia Nervosa’, and ‘Bulimia Nervosa’. Results: Thirteen articles were selected. These included 2 studies on bulimia nervosa, and 11 studies on anorexia nervosa. According to study design, studies were classified into 1 randomized controlled trial, 2 single group before-and-after studies, and 8 case reports. According to therapy method, they included 11 herbal medicine studies, and 2 complex treatment studies. The most common pattern identification was ‘liver qi depression’ (肝氣鬱結), and the most used herb was ‘Root of Bupleurum falcatum’ (柴胡). Most of the studies showed effective results. Conclusions: The results of our study indicated that TCM clinical studies on eating disorder were being conducted more actively than in Korean medicine. Korean medical treatment might be effective to relieve eating disorder symptoms. In the future, more scientifically designed clinical studies should be performed to prove the effectiveness of traditional Korean medicine treatment on eating disorder.

Russell-Silver syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by intrauterine and/or postnatal growth restriction and typical facies. The clinical feature is various due to heterogeneous genetic characters. Their common findings are short stature without catch-up growth, normal head size for age, a distinctive triangular face with prominent forehead and a pointed chin, low set ears and clinodactyly of the fifth fingers. Intraoral features of the syndrome are microdontia, delayed tooth eruption, hypodontia, and crowding. More than 400 case have been reported in the literature, and estimated incidence is from 1 in 3000 to 1 in 100,000. In this case we performed caries treatment under the general anesthesia for the patient with Russell-Silver syndrome. Dentist have to consider microstomia for the management of patients with Russell-Silver syndrome.
