The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of sensory integration therapy (SIT) on sensory' motor development and adaptive behavior of cerebral palsy children. The design of this study was quasi experiments with a non-equivalent pre- and post-test control design. Subjects of the study were arbitrarily chosen based on predetermined selection criteria among the cerebral palsy children who were treated as out-patients at two rehabilitation hospitals one in Seoul, and the other in Kyunggi-do. The study was conducted between early April and late July in 2000. Fifteen children were in the experimental group and eleven in the control group. The allocation was done based on ease of experimental treatment. A five-step SIT program was devised from a combination of SIT programs suggested by Ayres(1985) and Finks(1989), and an author-designed SIT program for cerebral palsy children. The experimental group was subjected to 20 to 30 minutes of SIT per session. two sessions a week for ten -week period. The effects of SIT were measured with respect to 9 sub-areas that can be administered to cerebral palsy children out of a total of 17 sub-areas in the Southern California Sensory Integration Test (SCSIT) developed by Ayres (1980). In addition. the scale developed by Russell (1993) for Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM). and Perception Motor Development Test developed by 中司利一 et al.(1987) were also applied. Adaptive behavior was analyzed using guidelines in two unpublished documents - School-Age Checklist for Occupational Therapy by the Wakefield Occupational Therapy Associates, and the OTA-Watertown Clinical Assessment by the Watertown Occupational Therapy Associates-, and an author-developed Adaptive Behavior Checklist. Collected data were statistically analyzed by SPSS PC for chi square test, Mann-Whitney test, Wilcoxon signed rank test, and paired t-test. The results were as follows: 1. In sensory development, the experimental group exhibited a score increase compared to the control group, but the difference was not statistically significant, Although the experimental group showed improvements in all. 9 sub-areas compared to the control group, only right-left discrimination exhibited statistically significant change. 2. In gross motor development, the experimental group showed improvements in score compared to the control group, but it was not statistically significant. In fine motor development, the experimental group exhibited statistically significant improvements compared to the control group. In sub-area analysis, figure synthesis showed positive change. 3. In adaptive behavior development, post-experimental adaptive behavior scores were higher compared to pre-experimental scores with statistical significance. Furthermore, sub-areas emotional behavior, perception behavior, gross-fine motor function, oral-respiration function, motor behavior, motor planning, and adaptive response exhibited higher scores after SIT. In conclusion SIT was found to be partially effective in sensory and fine motor development, effective in all adaptive behavior areas, and not effective in gross motor development. Thus, this study has shown that SIT is an effective intervention for sensory development, fine motor development, and adaptive behavior for cerebral palsy children. But, for the effectiveness of SIT on gross motor development, further studies employing longer-time experiments are recommended.

Background and Objective: We aimed to investigate long-term clinical and echocardiographic outcomes, including tricuspid valve durability, annular growth, and left ventricular reverse remodeling, after modified cone reconstruction in patients with Ebstein's anomaly. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of all pediatric patients who underwent modified cone reconstruction for Ebstein's anomaly at a single tertiary center between January 2005 and June 2021. Results: A total of 14 pediatric patients underwent modified cone reconstruction for Ebstein's anomaly; the median age was 5.8 years (range, 0.01-16.6). There were three patients (21.4%) with Carpentier type B, ten patients with Carpentier type C (71.4%), and one patient with Carpentier type D (7.1%). There was no early or late mortality, arrhythmia, or readmission for heart failure at a 10-year follow-up. There were no cases of more than mild tricuspid stenosis or more than moderate tricuspid regurgitation during the study period, except for one patient with severe tricuspid regurgitation who underwent reoperation. The z value for tricuspid valve annular size significantly decreased immediately after the operation (2.46 vs. -1.15, p<0.001). However, from 1 year to 7 years after surgery, the z values were maintained between -1 and +1. Left ventricular end-systolic volume, end-diastolic volume, and stroke volume increased after surgery and remained elevated until seven years postoperatively. Conclusions: Ebstein's anomaly in children can be repaired by modified cone reconstruction with low mortality and morbidity, good tricuspid valve durability, and annular growth relative to somatic growth.

Objectives : Aseptic meningitis is a major cause of Korean childhood morbidity late spring and early summer. However, the nationwide incidences of the disease have not been reported. This study was conducted to evaluate the availability of National Health Insurance data (NHID) for the study of an epidemiological trend in the surveillance of aseptic meningitis in children. Methods : All the claims, under A87, A87.8, and A87.9 by ICD-10, among children below 15 years of age, to the National Health Insurance Corporation, between January and December 1998, were extracted. A survey of the medical record of 3,874 cases from 136 general hospitals was peformed. The availability of the NHID was evaluated by the three following methods: 1) The diagnostic accuracy (the positive Predictive value : proportion of the confirmed aseptic meningitis among the subjects registered as above disease-codes in NHID) was evaluated through a chart review, and according to age, gender, month and region of disease-occurrence. 2) The distribution of confirmed cases was compared with the distribution of total subjects from the NHID, for subjects in General hospitals, or the subjects surveyed. 3) The proportion of confirmed CSF test was confirmed, and the relating factor, which was the difference in CSF-test rate, analyzed. Results : Among 3,874 cases, CSF examinations were peformed on 1,845 (47.6%), and the CSF-test rates were different according to the medical utility (admission vs. OPD visit) and the severity of the symptoms and signs. The diagnostic accuracy for aseptic meningitis, and during the epidemic (May-Aug) and sporadic (Sept-Apr) periods, were 85.0 (1,568/1,845), 86.0 (1,239/l,440) and 81.2% (329/405), respectively. The distributions by age, sex, month or period (epidemic/sporadic) and region, in the confirmed cases, were similar to those in the NHID, in both the subjects at General hospitals and in those surveyed, to within ${\pm}7%$. Conclusions : In this paper, the NHID for the subjects registered with an aseptic meningitis disease-code might be available for an epidemiological study on the incidence-estimation of childhood aseptic meningitis, as the NHID could include both the probable and definite cases. On the basis of this result, further studies of time-series and secular trend analyses, using the NHID, will be peformed.

Data from this study support the View that the following factors are not sufficiently important in Korea to invalidate the relationships observed between age of marriage and fertility: (1) Premarital pregnancy and common law marriage, (2) shortening of birth intervals in late marriages, (3) adverse effects of very eary marriage in reproductive capacity, and (4) postponement of first pregnancy among early marriages. Thirteen variables which were considered to be potential predictors of fertility were studied to determine their influence on three indices of fertility. Age of marriage and family planning praetice are the strongest predictors and account for about 10% and 7% of the total variance, respectively. Seven other factors each account for an intermediate amount of variability; these are ideal number of children, rural versus urban study area, education, aspiration for daughter, index of exposure to mass media, economic index of respondent's home at survey, and residence before marriage. The remaining variables have no consistently significant relationship to fertility. Most of the relationships appear to be stable and consistent over time; others appear to be changing. The latter group include those variables which are associated with modernization indices of family planning practice, mass media exposure. and aspiration for daughters. Thus, the index of family planning practice is of limited significance for the $40{\sim}49$ age group but is the most important variable for the $20{\sim}29$ year women. The relationship is a direct one for the two age groups between 30 and 49 years which suggests that these groups already had high fertility when family planning services became available and that this high fertility then became an inducement to acccept contraception. The pattern of relationship is not yet clear for the $20{\sim}29$ year group. Similar interactions are observed for the other indices of modernity and are discussed. The thirteen variables together can account for a maximum of about 40% of the variance in the number of live births in the age group $30{\sim}39$, and for lesser amounts of variance in other age and fertility groupings.

The goal of this research was to provide the basic data of sexual education for late schooler by finding out what they want to know about sex, or to see, if any, its relevancy between female and male students and between each grade. The sample for this research was a total of 453 students in 4th, 5th and 6th grade from 12 different classes at two elementary schools which were located in C city and in B province. The children were requested to write down three points on what they want to know or to learn most about sex, and their answers were put through two analytical stages in order to classify and to examine. The followings are the conclusions from the data. 1. The female cluster took 44.2% out of the whole sample, and there were 151 students per each grade. The specific girl ratios for each grade were 42.4%, 50.3% and 39.7% respectively. 2. It was noted that a total of 1,195 questions were gathered from the students writings, 45% of the questions was raised by the female students. The 4th grade students raised 432questions (43.8% by the girl) while the 5th. and the 6th grade students raised 387 (53.2% by the girl) and 376 questions (42.3% by the girl) respectively. The average number of questions per students was 2.6 while the female students raised 2.8 questions which was more than the average 2.5 questions by male students. It was the 4th grade female student cluster, which raised the most question (3.0) while the 6th grade male students raised the least question (2.4) in average. 3. The questions raised by the children could be divided into seven categories of the knowledge need on sex. They were Reproduction (310 questions, 25.9%), Sexual Culture (230, 19.2%), Concept of sex (125, 18.0%), Changes of Puberty (172, 14.4%), Sexual Health (119, 10.0%), Anatomy and Physiology of Reproductive System (78, 6.5%) and Sexual Tendency and behavior (71, 5.9%). 4. 'Reproduction' was the most frequently raised questions not only by both sex groups but also by the 5th grade students. Both sexes in the 4th grade showed the highest interest in Sexual Culture while it was Changes in Puberty for the both sexes in the 6th grade. The knowledge need on sex of the children indicated what they understand sexuality. They apprehended sex as sex, gender and sexuality in an inclusive way. They showed a major interest in the biological sex and the sexual activities. It seems that the children managed to understand clearly the meaning of gender, furthermore, they even pointed out that the streotyped sex role, patrimonial system and the sexual discrimination were unreasonable. The students possessed not only the least but also the most negative understanding in regard of sexuality. Two suggestions were made from the above conclusions for the practical sex education as well as its research. 1. For the practice: The sex education for the elementary upper grade school student should be relevant with their cognitive characteristics, also it should be more specific on the reproductive organs of both sexes, the actual scenes of the pregnancy and child delivery procedures. The gender concept should be added to the biological sex education, which will lead them to understand the unreasonableness of today's male-superior phenomenon and correct them. It is also necessary to develop educational programs for this age group so as to help them to understand sex in the sense of sexuality as well. 2. For the research: It is not easy to draw out a through conclusion since this study was carried out as one-time data collection. Yet it is undeniably helpful for the sex education if we can understand what the children want to know about sex, how much they know about it by conducting deep-interview researches through a small number of sample.

본 연구에서는 대전지역 만 3세부터 만 11세까지 어린이 222명을 대상으로 3~5세 유아, 6~8세 초등학교 저학년, 그리고 9~11세 초등학교 고학년의 세 연령군으로 나누어 연령별 식행동의 변화가 나타나는지 살펴보고, 식행동과 비만도와의 관련성을 보고자 하였다. 식행동 조사도구로는 최근 개발된 NQ 설문지를 사용하였으며 각 연령별로 NQ 점수와 NQ를 구성하고 있는 '균형', '다양', '절제', '규칙', '실천'의 다섯 영역 점수를 산출하여 비만도에 따라 비교, 분석하였다. 대상자 NQ 점수는 연령에 따른 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 그러나 NQ의 다섯 가지 구성요인으로 본 점수 중 '균형' 요인과 '실천' 요인 점수는 연령별 차이를 보이지 않았으나, '다양' 요인 점수는 3~5세와 6~8세에 비해 9~11세에서 유의적으로 높게 나타난 반면 (p < 0.001), '절제' 요인 점수는 3~5세에 비해 6~8세와 9~11세에서 (p < 0.01), 그리고 '규칙' 요인 점수는 3~5세와 6~8세에 비해 9~11세에서 유의적으로 낮았다 (p < 0.05). 대상자를 정상군과 과체중 비만군의 두 군으로 나누었을 때, 3~5세의 경우, 비만에 따른 NQ 점수 및 구성요인 점수에 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 그러나 6~8세의 경우는 NQ 점수 (p < 0.001) 및 '절제' (p < 0.001), '규칙' (p < 0.001), '실천' (p < 0.05) 점수에서 과체중 비만군의 점수가 정상군보다 낮았으며, 9~11세의 경우는 '절제' 요인 점수에서만 과체중 비만군의 점수가 정상군보다 낮게 나타났다 (p < 0.001). 연령별로 체중과 NQ 점수와의 상관관계를 본 결과 3~5세의 경우, 체중과 NQ 점수 및 구성요인 점수 사이에 상관관계를 보이지 않았으나 6~8세의 경우 체중과 NQ 점수 사이에 유의적인 음의 상관관계 (p < 0.01), 또 체중과 '절제' (p < 0.001), '규칙' (p < 0.001) 및 '실천' (p < 0.05) 점수 사이에 각각 유의적인 음의 상관관계를 보였다. 9~11세의 경우도 체중과 NQ 점수 사이에 음의 상관관계 (p < 0.05)를보였고, 체중과 '다양' (p < 0.05) 및 '절제' (p < 0.001) 점수 사이에 각각 음의 상관관계를 보였다. NQ 설문지 19개 문항의 응답빈도를 다섯 가지 구성요인으로 나누어 정상군과 과체중 비만군의 응답빈도를 비교해 본 결과, 3~5세는 '균형' 요인 중 과일섭취 (p < 0.05), 콩 제품 섭취 (p < 0.05) 및 야식 빈도 (p < 0.05)에서, 6~8세는 '절제' 요인 중 단 음식 섭취 (p < 0.01), 패스트푸드 섭취 (p < 0.001), 라면 섭취 (p < 0.01), 야식빈도 (p < 0.001), 길거리 음식 사먹기 (p < 0.05) 응답빈도, 그리고 '규칙' 요인 중 정해진 식사시간 (p < 0.05), TV와 컴퓨터 게임 사용시간 (p < 0.001)에서 유의적인 차이를 보였다. 9~11세는 '절제' 요인 중 단 음식 섭취 (p < 0.05), 패스트푸드 섭취 (p < 0.001), 야식빈도 (p < 0.01), 길거리 음식 사먹기 (p < 0.01), 그리고 '실천' 요인 중 음식 꼭꼭 씹어 먹기 (p < 0.05)에서 두 군간에 유의적인 차이를 보였다. 본 연구결과, 연령별로 NQ 구성요인 점수에 차이를 보여 나이가 어릴수록 '다양' 요인에 포함된 항목들에 대한 식행동 지도가 필요하고, 초등학교 고학년으로 갈수록 '절제' 요인 및 '규칙' 요인에 포함되는 식행동에 대한 지도와 교육이 중점적으로 시행되어야 함을 알 수 있었다. 또 6~8세의 비만한 어린이에게서 NQ 점수와 '절제', '규칙', '실천' 점수가 낮았고, 9~11세의 경우 '절제' 점수가 낮았으며 특히 두 연령층 모두 '절제' 요인 점수는 3~5세에 비해 현저하게 낮았으므로 초등학교 어린이의 비만 예방을 위해서는 '절제' 요인에 포함된 식행동 항목에 대한 교육을 집중적으로 하는 것이 실효성이 있을 것으로 사료된다. 또 본 연구에서 비만에 따른 식행동의 차이는 6~8세에서 가장 크게 나타나는 등 연령에 따라 다르게 나타났으므로 각 연령에 맞는 어린이 비만예방을 위한 적절한 맞춤형 식행동 지도 및 영양교육이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

난청은 가장 흔한 선천성 장애이다. 이 질병의 발생 빈도는 신생아 1000명 출생 당 $1{\sim}3$명 정도로 상당히 높다. 이러한 청력 장애가 조기에 발견된다면 수술적인 치료 등으로 예방할 수 있으나, 그렇지 못할 경우 언어와 학습장애를 초래하게 된다. 이런 관점을 근거로 신생아를 대상으로 한 선천성 난청의 선별검사는 큰 의미를 가지며 난청환자의 조기발견을 위한 노력이 필수적이라 할 수 있다. 기존의 수동 청력검사 시스템은 신생아 청력 평가 시 검사자의 주관성에 의존하게 되므로, 청성뇌간 반응의 뇌파 분석이 잘못될 가능성이 커진다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 난청여부를 자동으로 판독하여 결과를 나오도록 개발하고자 하였으며, 또한 기존 제품들과 차별화하기 위하여 휴대용으로 개발하여 차폐실이 아닌 일반 병실에서도 검사가 가능하도록 함에 따라 유소아의 청각 장애를 극복시키는데 기여하고자 하였다.

This study was attempted to contribute to the development of school health by providing the basic data about the distribution basis and distribution aspect of teachers holding additional school health that are in charge of school health business in parimary schools, middle schools and high schools without any nurse-teacher. This study analyzed literatures about the history, related laws, organization and professional manpower of school health. The emphasis was set on the distribution basis of theachers holding additional school health. The results of this study are as following: 1. The school health of the world dates to the late 18th century in Europe where was free supplying with food for poor children. The school health of Korea orginated from smallpox vaccination which was executed with appearance of modern schools in the late 19th century. 2. The related laws of school health began as a part of Education Law with was constituted in 1949. By the School Health Law constituted in 1967 and the enforcement ordinance of School Health made firm the legal basis of school health. 3. The administrative organs of school health are the Ministry of Education in center and each Board of Education in cities and provinces. For the first time in 1979, the department of school health was established in the organization of the Ministry of Education. And at about the same time of establishment of the department of school health, health section was established in the department of social physical-training in locality. 4. In the manpower of school health which was presented in the related statute of school health, there are the ward chief of education, the superintendent of educational affair, of cities and districts, the mayors, the governors of provinces, the school managers, the principals, the school doctors, the school pharmacists, and the nurse-teachers, including teachers holding additional school health as the practical manpower of school health. 5. In order to get some information on distribution aspect of teachers additional school health, this study made up a questionnaire from August 3 to August 11, 1988. The subjects of this study were 212 leachers who took part in the yearly training for teachers holding additional school health from Kyunggi province, Chungbuk province and Jeonbuk province. The results of the questionnaire are as following: 1. The distribution percentages of teachers holding additional school health according to each Board of Education wich schools are subject to, are as following:70.1% (Kyunggi), 76.5% (Chungbuk), and 81.4% (Jeonbuk). There was a significant difference. The distribution percentages of teachers holding additional school health according to the school levels of 3 provinces are as following: 74.1% (Primary schools), 77.8% (Middle schools), 76.7% (High schools). There were little significant differences. 2. The distribution according to the general characteristics of the subject schools: There were 64.2 percent of primary schools and 35.8 percent of middle schools among 212 schools. 91. 5 percent of schools were located in districts. Public schools formed 55.7% and then national schools were higher in percentage than private schools. 58.5 percent of schools had 1-9 classes, 64.6 percent of schools had 101-500 students, and 90 percents of schools had 1-20 teachers. In considering student sex, the coed school showed the high distribution percentage (Primary schools : 100%, Middle schools: 81.6%). 3. The distribution according to the characteristics of teachers holding additional school health: 93.3 percent of teachers were female, and more than 60 percent of teachers were 20-29 years old. As the age got higher, the percentage became lower. There were little significant differences by marital status. In considering their educational status, 86.8 percent of teachers in primary schools were from teacher's colleges, and 64.5 percent of teachers in middle schools were from education colleges. In considering teaching career, 46.7 percent of teachers had teaching career of less than 2 years. 73.6 percent of teachers had held additional school health for less than one year. More than 80 percent of teachers had participated in the training one time or twice. More than 70 percent of teachers had 1-2 additional jobs except for the school health business. The motivation to hold additional school health is most caused by mandatory order, which accounts for more than 80.0 percent. In considering interesting degree concerning school health, lukewarm answer is the highest of 62.7 percent, followed by affirmative answer of 23.6 percent. In considering their contentment degree respecting additional school health job, "discontent or very discontent"is the highest of 47.6 percent. As a descontent reason of additional school health job, overwork is the highest factor of 37.9 percent. Among addiitional school health job, the most difficult affair is nursing service to be 34.0 percent, followed by health education of 31.6 percent. It testify the need of professional. The source of knowledge about school health has been acquired from masscommunication or private health experience, which account for as much as 56.1 percent. It shows seriousness of lack of professionalism. With regard to neccessity of school health experts, 95.8 percent represents absolute need. With above consideration of study results, I propose as follows : 1. I propose that the authorities concerned unify and improve statute respecting current school health which has not been steadfastly supporting school health business by ambiguity of expression and dualization. 2. I propose that the authorities concerned give the school manager, school staffs and parents of students educational chance with which they can acknowledge the importance of school health and in which they can participate as well as set up alternative policy plan to be albe to vitalize school health committee. 3. I propose that administrative organization practicable to taking totally charge of school health business is established within the Ministry of Education. 4. I propose that the authorities concerned back up and cooperate in an attempt by make school health better and desirable toward development by way of appointing qualitied health teachers on the basis of legally regular teacher staffs.

목 적: 소아청소년의 생활양식은 성인이 되어서도 지속되므로 소아청소년기에 건강한 생활습관을 길들이는 것이 중요하다. 소아청소년기에 일상적인 생활습관과 대사위험인자와의 연관성을 파악하여 중재한다면 대사증후군을 조기에 예방할 수 있을 것이다. 소아청소년 비만에서 대사증후군의 조기 예방 및 중재를 위하여 대사증후군과 생활습관과의 연관성을 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법: 이화여자대학교 목동병원 소아청소년과 비만클리닉을 방문한 비만한 소아청소년 109명을 대상으로, 의무기록과 혈액검사를 후향적으로 검토하였다. 비만한 소아청소년은 대한소아과학회 영양위원회에서 생활습관을 파악하기 위하여 구성한 설문지를 작성하였으며, 12시간 금식 후 혈액검사를 받았다. 대사증후군은 대사위험인자 6개 중 3개 이상으로 정의하였다. 대사위험인자는 비만; 2007년 소아청소년 신체발육 표준치에 따른 체질량지수 ${\geq}95$ 백분위수, 고혈압; 연령별 성별 수축기 혹은 이완기 혈압 ${\geq}90$ 백분위수, 공복시 혈청 중성지방 ${\geq}90$110 mg/dL, HDL-콜레스테롤 ${\leq}$40 mg/dL, 혈당 ${\geq}$110 mg/dL, 인슐린 ${\geq}20{\mu}g/dL$이었다. 결 과: 비만한 소아청소년을 대상으로 하였으므로 모두 대사위험인자가 적어도 1개 이상 있었다. 대사위험인자가 2개 이상 군집을 이룬 경우는 63%, 3개 이상 32%, 4개 이상 10%였다. 고중성지방혈증은 36%, 고혈압은 32%, 고인슐린혈증은 24%, HDL-저콜레스테롤혈증은 20%였다. 공복 시 혈당은 모두 정상이었다. 부모중 적어도 한 명이 비만한 가정의 비만 자녀에서 고인슐린혈증이 유의하게 많았다(p<0.05). 편식을 하는 비만한 소아청소년에서 고혈압이 유의하게 많았다 (p<0.05). 다변량 로지스틱 회귀분석에서 오후 8시 이후에 저녁이나 야식을 먹는 비만한 소아청소년은 고혈압 위험이 2.5배(95% 신뢰구간: 1.0~6.1) 높았다. 운동을 좋아하지 않는 비만한 소아청소년은 고인슐린혈증 위험이 10.4배(95% 신뢰구간: 2~54.1), 하루에 3시간 이상 TV시청하는 비만한 소아청소년은 대사증후군에 걸릴 위험이 4.8배(95% 신뢰구간: 1.2~18.8) 높았다. 결 론: 소아청소년 비만에서 저녁이나 야식을 늦게 먹는 습관, 운동을 선호하지 않음, 하루 3시간 이상 TV 시청하는 일상 생활습관이 대사증후군과 연관이 있었다.
