This study was conducted to investigate nutritional status and anthropometry of preschool children in orphanage. The height, weight and head circumference of preschool in orphanage were lower than that of Korean growth standards, but not chest circumference. The average daily intakes of Ca by all subjects, the average daily intakes of Fe, riboflavin and ascorbic acidin some subjects were lower than those of the Korean RDA. The prevalence rates of iron deficiency assessed by hemoglobin, hematocrit were found to be 12.9% and 18.6%, respectively. When assessed with serum iron, the prevalence rate of iron deficiency was 4.3%. Serum total protein and serum albumin level were turned out to be normal. Considering this results of the survey, financial help from social work organization for meal service and more aggressive efforts should be made to improve nutritional status of the subjects in orphanage.

Objectives : Present study compared the characteristics in Rorschach responses and Sandplay between ADHD and normal children group. Method : ADHD (excluded inattention type & emotional problem) group and normal group was composed of 10 children respectively. All of them were controlled by Intelligence Quotation. Rorschach responses were scored by Exner system and compared by t-test. For sandplay work, the time was measured and photo was taken. Results : 1) ADHD group showed that the reaction time in Rorschach was significantly fast and they easily failed to recall the responses. The statical significances are 3r+ (2)/R, X-%, Xu%, (2), AG, Afr, SCZI, Wsum 6, FD, Zd, Blends, a. 2) ADHD group showed that the reaction time in Sandplay was significantly fast, they used low materials (total numbers of toy, vehicles) and the work was less coordinated. Conclusion : This results suggest that ADHD children are apt to react, think and coordinate impulsively. Also, Sandplay could be used fur diagnostic method as Rorschach test.

In 1944 Hans Asperger reported odd bizzare 400 children who showed autism like clinical symptoms but had higher intelligence and relatively intact speech function. He named these child 'autistic psychopathy'. Since them there were many controversial views about this syndrome. Some regards Asperger syndrome as the high functioning autism variant or preschizophrenic childhood condition or childhood form of schizoid personality disorder. Though there were still many controversy, recently ICD-10, DSM-IV accepted Asperger's syndrome as a distinct subtype of pervasive developmental disorder. The authors reviewed the history and conceptual changes of Asperger syndrome and summarized the interesting recent research findings. In addition, the authors argue that this syndrome has some linkage with autism and schizoid personality disorder and proposed that these is disorders do have common defect in social instinctual development.

정상 성인의 경우, 감성 개념의 내적 차원 구조는 쾌/불쾌 차원과 각성/수면 차원이라는 이차원 공간상에 원형으로 분포되는 양상을 보인다고 아려져 왔다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 이차원 구조가 얼마나 보편적이고 일관적인가를 알아보고자 했다. 이를 위해 연구 1에서는 교차타당화를 통해 이차원 구조의 안정성을 검토했으며, 연구 2에서는 다양한 성격 특질을 지닌 집단을 선발하여 22개 단어를 짝지은 231개 쌍에 대해 유사성 평정을 시비고 다차원분석법(MDS)으로 분석한 후 이를 연구 1의 대학생 집단의 결과와 비교하였다. 연구 3에서는 낮은 발달 수준에 있는 아동 및 청소년 집단을 대상으로 연구 2와 동일한 절차를 통해 분석하였다. 연구 1, 2, 3 모두 감성 개념의 이차원 구조가 동일한 것으로 나타나 매우 안정적인 구조라는 것이 입증되었으며, 다만 아동 및 청소년의 경우 1 차원의 설명량이 정상 성인 집단보다 크고 각성/수면 차원의 설명량은 더 적었다. 이러한 결과를 통해 이차원 구조의 안정성과 일반화 가능성, 제한점, 그리고 집단의 독특한 특성을 반영하는데 이 구조적 틀을 적용할 수 있는 유용성에 대해 논의하였다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate laryngeal characteristics in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). A total of 50 children participated, including eight children aged 2 to 4 years old diagnosed with ASD and 42 normal controls at the same age. All children recorded X-ray images of the midsagittal plane of the cervical spine and larynx, and compared the laryngeal positions of ASD and control. In addition, samples of children with vowel prolongation were collected and analyzed for acoustic parameters. X-rays showed that the height of the hyoid bone in the normal group was the lowest at 3 years of age, and ascended at 4 years of age. Nevertheless, the distance from the external acoustic meatus to the hyoid bone was longest at age 4. 4-year-olds with explosive language development showed laryngeal height elevation and anteriorization. In contrast, the hyoid height of the ASD group of all ages was lower than that of the control group, and there was no difference in the hyoid position between the ages. As a result of acoustic evaluation, PFR, vFo, and vAm were significantly higher ASD than control. Low laryngeal height of ASD children may be associated with delayed language development. PFR, vFo, and vAm seem to be voice markers showing the difference between normal and ASD children.

Objective：The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of comorbid disorders and associated symptoms in pervasive developmental disorder(PDD) and to examine the correlation between associated symptoms and developmental characteristics in PDD children. Method：The sample consisted of 209 cases of PDD and 143 cases of developmental language disorder(DLD)(control group) who were treated at the Seoul National Mental Hospital from Jan. 1996 to Mar. 1999. The diagnostic work based on DSM-IV criteria was performed by one or two child psychiatrists, while the clinical feature was evaluated by doctors’s notes, occupational/speech therapy reports, and results of social maturity scale(SMS), childhood autism rating scale(CARS), and psycho-educational profile(PEP). Two groups were compared on a wide range of measures including comorbid disorders, associated symptoms, treatment drugs, and PEP. The relation between associated symptom & PEP was investigated in total(106 cases) and in each dignostic group. Sixty-four cases of PDD were divided into three groups by CARS and then compared on associated symptoms. Result：The prevalence of comorbid disorder was 19.6% in PDD, 41.2% in DLD. The rate of manifestation of 13 associated symptoms was 31.47% in PDD, 22.13% in DLD on the average. Associated symptoms significantly high in PDD were preoccupation, obsession, self-mutilation, stereotypy, sleep problems, and odd response. In total patient group, associated symptoms that significantly influenced PEP were preoccupation, self-stimulation, stereotypy, inappropriate affect, sleep problems, and odd response. But, in each diagnostic group, no associated symptom influenced PEP. Associated symptoms significantly different between the 3 groups of CARS were stereotypy, anxiety, and sleep problems. Conclusion：These preliminary results suggest that developmental characteristics may influence associated symptoms in PDD children and a realistic approach considering minute diagnosis by associated symptoms and comorbid disorders is required.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate factors associated with suspicious developmental delay in infants and early childhood. Methods: Participants were 133 infants, aged from birth to 6 years old and their mothers, who were being seen at 16 Public health centers in B city. Korean Denver II was used to test infant development. ${\chi}^2$-test, Fisher's exact test and multiple logistic regression were used with SPSS 19.0 to analyze data. Results: Of participant infants, 7.5% were below the 3rd percentile for the weight percentile, 8.4% is a weight curve that crosses more than 2 percentile lines on the growth charts after previous achievement, and 9.8% had suspicious developmental delay according to Korean Denver II. Further the predictive factors related to suspicious development delay in the children were decrease of weight percentile (Odds Ratio [OR]=6.69, Confidence Interval [CI])=1.22-36.45), low economic state (OR=6.26, CI=1.50-26.00), and development delay perceived by their mothers (OR=4.99, CI=1.24-20.06). Conclusion: It is necessary to build a government level system to follow management of development of infants and children from the time of birth. Especially, it is necessary to develop a program for children in low income families.

정상 성인의 경우, 감성 개념의 내적 차원 구조는 쾌/불쾌 차원과 각성 차원이라는 2차원 구조에 원형의 체계적인 분포를 보이는 것으로 알려져 왔다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 2차원 구조가 얼마나 보편적이고 일관된 양상으로 나타나고 있는지를 살펴보고자 하였다 이를 위해 연구1에서는 아동 및 청소년에게 15개의 정서 관련 어휘로 이루어진 10i개의 단어 쌍에 대한 7점 척도의 유사성 평정을 시행하였으며, 연구 2에서는 정신분열증 환자에게 통일한 절차를 시행하였다 다차원 분석 결과, 1차원(초등5년:74%, 중등2 년:72%, 정신분열증 환자: 60%)과 2차원(초등5년: 18%, 중등2년16%, 정신분열증 환자: 11%)이 도출되었다 정상 성인의 경우와 마찬가지로 1차원은 쾌/불쾌 차원, 2차원은 각성 차원으로 해석될 수 있었다. 따라서, 감성 개념의 구조에 있어서 쾌/불쾌 및 각성은 인지적 성숙의 단계나 인지, 정서적 손상에 관계 없이 매우 일관되게 나타나는 비교적 안정적인 차원 구조인 것으로 생각된다. 다만, 발달 단계나 병리적 속성에 따라 각 차원의 비중치는 다소 차이를 보이는데, 아동 및 청소년의 경우, 주로 쾌/불쾌 차원을 통해 감성을 개념화 하는 특징을 보이며, 정신분열증 환자 집단의 경우, 1,2차원 모두 상대적으로 설명량이 낮은 것으로 나타나는데, 의 경우, 비중치가 더욱 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 통해 내적 차원 구조의 타당성 및 제한점에 관해 논의하였다.

It is relatively common to have various feeding problem during infancy and childhood, even for typically developing children. Treatment outcome studies for pediatric feeding disorder consistently reported that applied behavior analaysis (ABA), a type of behavior intervention, is very effective and efficacious. Interdisciplinary team approach is necessary for severe feeding problems, but similar methods could be used through parent training for moderate and mild feeding problems. This article introduced assessment procedure to identify feeding problems as well as specific methods to deal with diver feeding issues. Each strategy can be used effectively only when it is combined with several other strategies including environmental rearrangement and should be developed individually upon each child's feeding issues. In addition, systematic and continuous parent trainings are mandatory. At the end, several treatments related issues were addressed.

The present study aims to identify the ego, marriage and parenting-related psychological characteristics of mothers of infants with developmental risk, as well as to perform comparative analysis between their psychological characteristics and those of mothers of normal infants. For this purpose, we used SPSS 21 statistical software to calculate the average and standard deviation values, and also conducted frequency analysis and t-tests. The study subjects were mothers of 1584 normal infants and 186 infants with developmental risk, who were classified by Korean Denver II developmental screening test from a total of 1802 families listed in the 3rd year data from the Panel Study on Korean Children in 2010. Our results revealed a significant difference in the martial satisfaction and husbands' parenting participation between two groups, among the marriage-related psychological characteristics. There was also a significant difference in the parenting knowledge, style and stress among the parenting-related psychological characteristics. However, a statistically significant difference was not observed in the ego-related psychological characteristics of mothers. These results are thought to serve as baseline data for the infants with developmental risk at the precautionary level.
