이 연구는 만 7세부터 17세까지의 신장의 누년적 변화를 통해서 사춘기 최대 성장기와 초경 발생 시기와의 관계를 평가하고, 성장 곡선의 형태에 따라 성장 곡선을 분류하여 각 형태별 특징을 파악하고자 시행하였다. 경기도 화성에 있는 삼괴 고등학교에서 1학년부터 3학년까지 96명의 생활기록부에 기재되어 있는 신장의 누년적인 자료가 이용되었으며, 초경 시기와 전신적 질환 유무는 설문지를 통해 조사되었다. 사춘기 성장 가속기는 9.9세에 시작하여 11.6세에 최대 성장기를 이루고 14.1세경에 끝났다. 초경은 12.6세에 일어나며 76.1%는 최대 성장기 이후에 나타나고 최대 성장기와는 1년의 차이를 보인다. 10.4%에서 최대 성장기 전에 초경이 나타났고 13.5%에서는 최대 성장기와 동일한 시점에 나타났다. 초경 시기와 관계없이 사춘기 성장 가속 기간은 4.2년으로 일정하게 나타난다. 성장 곡선을 4가지 형태로 분류하였으며, A형은 51.1%, B형은 21.9%, C형은 20.8%, D형은 6.2%의 분포를 보인다. C형의 성장 가속기간이 가장 길게 나타난다. B형과 C형에서 PHV가 두 개인 경우는 B형과 C형의 58.5%인 24명에서 나타났다. 이상의 연구 결과에서 개개인의 성장 양상은 개인차가 크며 초경뿐만 아니라 누년적인 성장을 참고로 하여 onset의 정확한 시기와 성장 곡선 형태를 파악할 수 있다면 남은 성장 기간 예측에 도움을 줄 것으로 생각된다.

This study attempts to determine the extent to which late talkers are at the risk of delayed phonological development, in order to identify groups at risk and to find factors affecting delayed phonological development. A group of 1,452 children (51% boys, 49% girls) were recruited from the nationwide Panel Study on Korean Children. The current study collected data from 418 children who were previously identified as late-talkers (LT) at their age of three on average (Time 1: expressive vocabulary test) and three years later (Time 2: phonological test). Their phonological outcomes of the Time 2 were analyzed and then compared to those of a group of 1,056 children with typical language development (NLT: no late-talkers) at the age of three in terms of the number of incorrect consonants, and the speech sound disorders rating scores. LT showed a lower articulation score than NLT, and boys showed a lower score than girls. These findings indicate that the late onset of speech and the gender of young children could be potential risk factors of speech sound disorders.

The objective of the investigation was to study the effect of intramuscular $PGF_2\;{\alpha}$ and GnRH on estrus behavior and ovarian response in Murrah buffalo heifers. Twelve Murrah buffalo heifers at 32 months of age that had not exhibited behavioral estrus symptom were included in the experiment. Out of 12,4 heifers were in follicular phase (plasma estradiol $57.05{\pm}12.52pg/ml$), another 4 heifers were in luteal phase (Plasma progesterone $2.24{\pm}0.25ng/ml$) while the ovaries of remaining four heifers were inactive (estradiol $23.70{\pm}1.66pg/ml$and progesterone $0.32{\pm}0.06ng/ml$). $PGF_2\;{\alpha}$ (25 mg, Lutalyse, im) and GnRH (200 ug, Fertagyl, iv) was administered to each heifer at interval of 10 days. The plasma progesterone concentration decreased within 48 hrs after $PGF_2\;{\alpha}$ injection and followed thereafter with follicular growth, estrus and ovulation. GnRH administration induced follicular growth, elevation of plasma estradiol concentration with subsequent exhibition of behavioral estrus in 2 out of 4 heifers having inactive ovary. The observation reveals that Murrah buffalo heifers at 32 months of age have developed receptors for $PGF_2\;{\alpha}$ and GnRH on ovarian and pituitary tissue respectively and response the single injection of $PGF_2\;{\alpha}$ and GnRH similar to the mature cycling animals.

Purpose: This study investigated the long-term clinical outcomes of patients with $p22^{phox}$-deficient chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) on Jeju Island and retrospectively evaluated the effects of interferon-gamma (IFN-${\gamma}$) prophylaxis. Methods: The medical records of 15 patients with CGD were retrospectively reviewed. The efficacy of IFN-${\gamma}$ prophylaxis was evaluated by comparing the frequency of severe infections before and after starting continuous prophylaxis with IFN-${\gamma}$. Results: At the time of the analysis, 14 patients were alive, with a median age of 14.3 years. The diagnosis of CGD was made at a median age of 2.4 years, and the median age at onset of severe infection was 0.3 years. Thirteen of the 15 patients had their first severe infection within the first year of life. The overall incidence of severe infection was 1.36 infections per patient-year; pneumonia, suppurative lymphadenitis, and skin and subcutaneous abscesses were the most common infections. Aspergillus species were the most frequently isolated microorganisms, present in 15.8% of isolates. IFN-${\gamma}$ did not significantly change the rate of severe infection. The survival rate for patients after 2 years of age was 93%; there was a prolonged survival plateau beyond the age of 2. Conclusion: Compared with cases of X-linked CGD reported in other studies, patients with CGD on Jeju Island did not show obviously different clinical manifestations, but they had a significantly higher survival rate. Further studies with a substantially longer period of observation, and with more patients under intensive surveillance are necessary to elucidate the prophylactic efficiency of IFN-${\gamma}$.

서울대학교병원 신경정신과에 입원하여 뇌자기공명영상촬영을 시행한 32명(남자 18명, 여자 12명)의 양극성장애환자를 대상으로 피질하 $T_2$ 강조-고신호광도의 임상적 변수에 관한 연구를 시행하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) 32명의 환자중 피질하 고신호광도를 보인 환자의 수는 7명(21.8%)이었고, 8명의 40세 이상의 환자중에서는 5명(62%)이 고신호광도를 보였다. 2) 피질하 고신호광도를 보인 환자군이 그렇지 않은 군에 비해 통계적으로 유의한 수준으로 연령이 높았고(p<0.01), 연령과 정량화된 피질하 고신호광도 점수와의 상관분석에서도 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였다(r=0.51, p<0.01). 3) 피질하 고신호광도를 보인 환자군에서 정신병적 증상의 빈도는 증가되고(p=0.06), 정동장애 가족력의 빈도는 감소한 경향을 보였다(p=0.01). 이상의 결과는 발병연령이 늦은 양극성장애 환자의 상당수에서 발견되는 피질하 고신호광도가, 유전적요인에 주로 영향을 받는 조기 발병군과는 다른 경과나 임상양상 등을 보이는 만발성 양극성장애 환자의 원인적 요소일 수 있다는 가설을 뒷받침해주는 소견이다.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical characteristics in children and adolescents with peripheral facial palsy that was treated with Korean medicine. Methods The study was conducted based on 284 cases that consisted of 261 children (less than 19 years old) who visited the hospital of Korean medicine from August 2010 to August 2014. Then, this study was analyzed by reviewing the patients' charts. Results The incidence of facial palsy in pediatric patients was more common in boys than in girls and the mean age was 11.2 years. The prevalence of facial palsy was more common in winter and most were diagnosed with Bell's palsy. Recurrence was identified in 12.6% of the patients. The average age of the first attack was 9.5 years. It took about 3.2 years for recurrence to occur from the first onset. It took about 5 days to visit the hospital of Korean medicine from the onset. 81% of the patients came within 1 week from the onset. 50.7% of the cases did not receive any treatment before and 49.3% were previously treated at other hospitals. More than half of the patients (65.1%) received Korean medicine first. 54.6% of the patients were hospitalized and 45.4% received outpatient treatments in the hospital of Korean medicine. Outpatient treatments were administered about 11.5 times while hospitalized patients were treated for an average of 16.6 days. In general, hospitalized patients were treated more often than the outpatient group. An overall average duration of treatment was 70.6 days from the onset of facial palsy until the last day of treatment, and 53.0 days from the first day of treatment until the last day of treatment. 41.5% of the cases were treated only with Korean medicine and 49.0% were treated with a combination of Korean and Western medicine. The types of Korean medicine treatment used for facial palsy in descending order of frequency were acupuncture, Infra red, herbal medicine, SSP therapy, electro-acupuncture, carbone, hot pack, cupping, and moxibustion. The treatments that were most frequently used from Western medicines were steroid as monotherapy (61.7%) and a combination of steroids and antiviral therapy (37.6%). Conclusions This result showed that the risk of facial palsy recurrence among children is relatively high and that facial palsy requires a long-term treatment. It's helpful to explain about prognosis, treatment duration, and recurrence potential in children. Facial palsy in children is treated in various ways but more studies about the therapeutic effects of Korean medicine, Western medicine, and combination of Korean-Western medicine in children are needed.

Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an inherited connective tissue disorder with a mutation in the fibrillin-1 (FBN1) gene. Fibrillin is a major building block of microfibrils, which constitute the structural component of the connective tissues. A 10-year-old girl visited our hospital with the chief complaint of precocious puberty. According to her medical history, she had a pulmonary wedge resection for a pneumothorax at 9 years of age. There was no family history of MFS. Mid parental height was 161.5 cm. The patient's height was 162 cm (>97th percentile), and her weight was 40 kg (75th-90th percentile). At the time of initial presentation, her bone age was approximately 11 years. From the ophthalmologic examination, there were no abnormal findings except myopia. There was no wrist sign. At the age of 14 years, she revisited the hospital with the chief complaint of scoliosis. Her height and weight were 170 cm and 50 kg, respectively, and she had arachnodactyly and wrist sign. We performed an echocardiograph and a test for the FBN1 gene mutation with direct sequencing of 65 coding exons, suspecting MFS. There were no cardiac abnormalities including mitral valve prolapse. A cytosine residue deletion in exon 7 (c.660delC) was detected. This is a novel mutation causing a frameshift in protein synthesis and predicted to create a premature stop codon. We report the case of a patient with MFS with a novel FBN1 gene missense mutation and a history of pneumothorax at a young age without cardiac abnormalities during her teenage years.

제II형 글루타르산혈증은 발생 시기와 정도에 따라서 질병의 경과를 달리한다. 지발형의 경우 평상시에는 증상이 없고, 검사 소견도 정상 소견을 보이나 대사가 증가되는 hypercatabolic status에서는 저혈당, 대사성 산혈증, 고암모니아혈증 등이 나타나며, 다양한 신경학적인 증상들이 나타날 수 있다. 따라서 신경학적인 증상들이 있는 경우 기본적인 검사들을 시행해 보고, 위와 같은 소견들이 보이는 경우에는 소변의 유기산 분석을 통한 진단이 필요하다. 정맥내로 포도당이 투여되면 유기산 분석의 양상이 매우 빠른 속도로 정상화될 수 있으므로 정맥내로 포도당을 투여하기 전에 소변 검체를 채취하여 냉동 보관하는 것은 정확하고 빠른 진단을 위하여 필수적이라고 할 수 있다.
