The purpose of this study was to investigate (1) intergenerational transmission from mother's internal working model of relationships formed in her childhood and infant's attachment patterns and (2) the associations among maternal working models, maternal sensitivity, and infant attachment patterns. The subjects were twenty 12- to 20-month-old infants and their mothers. The Adult Attachment Interview (1996) was used to assess mother's internal work model of relationships. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Each dyad was videotaped in the modified Ainsworth Strange Situation(1978) and filmed for 3 minutes in the Questionaire Situation of Smith and Pederson (1988). Mothers were classified as autonomous(F), dismissing(Ds), preoccupied(E), or unresolved/disorganized(Ud). Infants were classified as secure(B), insecure-avoidant(A), or insecure-resistant(C). Exact A/B/C/D and Ds/F/E/Ud agreement was observed in 55% of the dyads. Maternal sensitivity was related to infant attachment patterns but not to maternal working models.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) has been identified as an important cause of posttransfusion hepatitis, but vertical transmission of chronic infected HCV RNA positive mothers has been documented in some cases. The reports of the risk of perinatal infection have been widely varied in the literature. The authors experienced one case of vertical transmission of HCV in an infant of a mother who had hepatitis C during pregnancy. At admission, HCV RNA (+), Ig G anti HCV (+) and Ig M anti HCV (+) were found in the mother. Also at admission, HCV RNA (+), Ig G anti HCV (+), Ig M anti HCV (+), elevation of liver aminotransferase level and hepatosplenomegaly on ultrasonography were found in the baby on day 31. HCV RNA (-), Ig M anti HCV (-) and normal of liver aminotransferase level were noted on day 250 in the serum of the infant. We used reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technique to find a very small amount of HCV RNA in the serum. All the findings suggest vertical transmission of HCV RNA from mother to infant during 3rd trimester of pregnancy.

This study investigated intergenerational transmission from mother's attachment representation to infant's attachment pattern and the associations between maternal attachment representation and their childhood experiences. Subjects were forty 12- to 15-month-old infants and their mothers. The Adult Attachment Interview (Main & Goldwyn, 1984) was used to assess mother's attachment representation. The Strange Situation (Ainsworth, 1978) was used to classify infant's attachment relationship. Mothers were classified as autonomous (F), dismissing (Ds), preoccupied (E), or unresolved/disorganized (Ud). Infants were classified as secure (B), insecure-avoidant (A), insecure-resistant (C), or insecure-disorganized (D). Exact A/B/C/D and Ds/F/E/Ud agreement was observed in 30 of 40 dyads(75%). Maternal childhood experiences were related to maternal attachment representation.

Chronic hepatitis B viral (HBV) infection remains a major health threat, especially in high-prevalence areas. Most infants infected by mother-to-infant HBV transmission become chronic carriers. In Taiwan, many important preventive interventions have been implemented to block the perinatal transmission of HBV in the past 35 years. The first nationwide universal HBV vaccination program was launched in Taiwan in July 1984. The three-dose HBV vaccine completion rate reached 98.1% in 2018. The prevalence of Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) decreased from 9.8% in pre-vaccinated period in 1984 to 0.5% in the vaccinated cohort in 2014. The incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma in children aged 6-9 years significantly declined from 0.52 to 0.13 per 100,000 children born before and after 1984, respectively. Furthermore, we have performed a maternal HBV screening program during pregnancy since 1984, with the screening rate peaked at 93% in 2012. The HBsAg- and HBeAg-seropositive rate in pregnant women declined from 13.4% and 6.4% in 1984-1985 to 5.9% and 1.0% in 2016, respectively. To closely control perinatal HBV infection, we have administered hepatitis B immunoglobulin immediately after birth and checked the serum level of HBsAg and anti-HBs in high-risk babies born to HBsAg-seropositive mothers, irrespective of their HBeAg status, since July 2019. We have also adopted short-term antiviral treatments such as tenofovir 300 mg daily in the third trimester for highly viremic mothers and reduced the perinatal infection rates from 10.7 to 1.5%. Through all these efforts, we expect to meet the global goal of eliminating HBV infection by 2030.

Purpose: Administration of antiretroviral drugs to mothers and infants significantly decreases mother-to-child human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission; cesarean sections and discouraging breastfeeding further decreases this risk. The present study confirmed the HIV status of babies born to mothers infected with HIV and describes the characteristics of babies and mothers who received preventive treatment. Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed medical records of nine infants and their mothers positive for HIV who gave birth at Korea University Ansan Hospital, between June 1, 2003, and May 31, 2013. Maternal parameters, including HIV diagnosis date, CD4+ count, and HIV ribonucleic acid (RNA) copy number, were analyzed. Infant growth and development, HIV RNA copy number, and HIV antigen/antibody test results were analyzed. Results: Eight HIV-positive mothers delivered nine babies; all the infants received antiretroviral therapy. Three (37.5%) and five mothers (62.5%) were administered single- and multidrug therapy, respectively. Intravenous zidovudine was administered to four infants (50%) at birth. Breastfeeding was discouraged for all the infants. All the infants were negative for HIV, although two were lost to follow-up. Third trimester maternal viral copy numbers were less than 1,000 copies/mL with a median CD4+ count of $325{\mu}L$ ($92-729{\mu}L$). Among the nine infants, two were preterm (22.2%) and three had low birth weights (33.3%). Conclusion: This study concludes that prophylactic antiretroviral therapy, scheduled cesarean section, and prohibition of breastfeeding considerably decrease mother-to-child HIV transmission. Because the number of infants infected via mother-to-child transmission may be increasing, studies in additional regions using more variables are necessary.

Background: Antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum preventive measures with antiretroviral drugs, appropriate delivery methods, and discouraging breastfeeding significantly decrease the risk of mother-to-child transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Herein, we investigated the pregnancy outcomes in HIV-infected Korean women. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed medical records of childbearing-age HIV-infected women between January 2005 and June 2017 at four tertiary care hospitals in Korea. Results: Among a total of 95 HIV infected women of child-bearing age with 587.61 years of follow-up duration, 15 HIV-infected women experienced 21 pregnancies and delivered 16 infants. The pregnancy rate was 3.57 per 100 patient-years. Among the 21 pregnancies, five ended with an induced abortion, and 16 with childbirth including two preterm deliveries at 24 and 35 weeks of gestation, respectively. The two preterm infants had low birth weight and one of them died 10 days after delivery due to respiratory failure. Among the 14 full-term infants, one infant was small for gestational age. There were no HIV-infected infants. Conclusion: The pregnancy rate of HIV-infected women in Korea is lower than that of the general population. Although several adverse pregnancy outcomes were observed, mother-to-child transmission of HIV infection was successfully prevented with effective preventive measures.

Accurate vital statistics are essential for a national health planning and evaluation. Among various vital statistics, birth and death rates, and infant and matemal mortality rates together with the causes of death are the very basic ones for above purposes as well as for the maternal and child health management. These statistics are based on the birth and death reports. It is required by law to report every birth and death within one month after its occurrence. However, in case of a neonatal death occurring prior to the birth report, most of the birth and death are not reported. Thus accurate infant and maternal mortality rates are not available yet in Korea. The main objective of this study is to develop a birth and infant death reporting system via computer network. We designed a new birth report form based on the current form and data from the analysis of medical record forms of 14 hospitals. A new form is basically addition of essential medical information to the current birth report form. Since a revision of the rules and regulations related wtih the birth report is necessary to use a new form, we kept the current from intact to make it acceptable to the government office for a field trial. We also developed computer programs for data input for birth and death reports at a medical faciltiy, data processing for production of maternal and child health indices at a health center, and management of maternal and child health services including immunization and postantal care at health center. The birth certificate and birth report can be printed out at a medical facility. The computer packages were programmed by Borland Delphi 3.0 and can be run under Windows 95 system. We proposed a new birth and death reporting system via computer network after a field trial for data input, transmission, and processing. The medical and demographic data o birth and death at medical facilities will be sent to health centers directly via computer network. The health center will retain the medical data for analysis and forward only the data for birth and death reports required by current regulations to the Dong, Up, or Myun Office. Once the birth or death is reported via computer network to the Dong Office, then the Dong Office will notify the baby's mother of the birth report and request to submit the baby's name by mail. When the baby's name its submitted. the Dong Office will forward the birth reports to the Common Court and Statistics Agency in the same way as the current system, Upon the completion of birth registration of the Common Court, the court will issue the birth certificate to mother which will be used in lieu of the family record. The advantages of proposed birth and death reporting system via computer network ar as follows ; I) The accuracy, timing, and completeness of reporting will be improved and more accurate maternal and child health indices can be obtained, ii) The maternal and child health services of health center will be obtained, iii) Epidemiologic data for pregnancy and birth can be obtained, iv) Manpower for birth and death reporting will be saved.

생후 18개월은 이유의 완료를 확인하고 섭식지도를 시행할 최적기로서 식생활 전반의 영향으로 우식이 초발하거나 본격적인 악화를 보일 수 있어서 유아기 우식의 예방에 특히 중요한 시기이다. 이에 본 연구는 생후 18개월 유아들과 그 어머니들을 대상으로 치아우식증의 주된 미생물학적 요인인 Streptococcus mutans(이하 S. mutans)와 Lactobacillus의 감염여부를 조사하고 유아와 어머니의 세균감염에 대한 상관성, 세균감염과 기타 우식위험 요인들 간의 상관성을 분석할 목적으로 60명의 생후 18개월 아동과 그 모친으로부터 타액채취를 통한 미생물학적 분석과 우식원인에 대한 설문조사를 실시하고 요소간의 상관성을 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 어머니의 S. mutans 수준이 높을수록 유아의 S. mutans 수준과 전이비율이 높았다. 2. 비우식군에 비해 우식군에서 어머니와 유아의 S. mutans 수준이 높았으며 전이비율도 높게 나타났다. 3. S. mutans 수준이 높을수록 우식 발생율과 deft 수치가 높았으며, 보호자의 월수입이 적었고 모유수유기간이 길었으며 사탕을 간식으로 섭취하는 비율이 높았다. 4. Lactobacillus를 가진 유아는 대부분 S. mutans 감염을 보였으며 모두 우식을 가지고 있었다. 5. Lactobacillus를 가진 경우 deft 수치가 높았으며 보호자의 월수입이 적었고 1일 수유횟수가 많았으며 불규칙한 간식 섭취를 하고 있었다. 이상의 결과를 통해서 18개월 유아의 S. mutans와 Lactobacillus 수준은 우식과 깊은 관계가 있으며 특히, 어머니와 유아의 세균 수준이 깊은 관계를 보여 조기 유아 우식증(Eerly Childhood Caries)를 예방하기 위해서는 어머니의 구강건강에도 관심을 가져야 함을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 이 시기 유아의 미생물 수준은 사회경제적인 요소, 수유기간과 횟수, 간식의 종류와 섭취습관에 높은 상관성을 보이므로 이러한 문제의 해결을 위해서는 국가제도적인 지원과 보호자에 대한 체계적인 교육이 필요할 것으로 사료되었다.

서 론：1940년 경 발달학적 관점에서 시작된 애착에 관한 연구가 지난 수십 년 동안 많은 발전을 이루었다. 초기 연구에서 주로 영유아기 아동의 부모에 대한 애착연구는 이후 성인기애착에 대한 평가가 가능해지면서 청소년기 혹은 성인기의 대인관계나 정서적 유대, 양육 경험에 까지 적용해 왔다. 이런 발전과 함께 최근 발달학적 정신병리에 관한 연구로 애착장애를 포함한 다양한 아동기 정신병리, 더 나아가 성인기 정신질환과 애착의 관계에 대한 연구가 수행되었다. 이 관계를 최근에 수행된 연구들을 중심으로 조명해보고자 한다. 대상 및 방법：최근에 수행된 연구를 중심으로 관련 문헌들-Medline에서 검색된 논문, 주요 단행본, 국내에서 발표된 애착 관련 논문들을 고찰하였다. 결 과：아동기 애착장애, 그 외에 정신병리로서 수용소에서의 양육과 후기 입양의 문제, 공격성과 행동문제, 아동기 불안장애 및 우울증, 성주체성 장애 및 섭식장애, 그리고 아동학대 및 부당 취급, 아동기의 또래관계 및 사회성 발달, 부모의 애착관계와 양육행동이 애착과 밀접한 연관을 가짐을 보여주고 있다. 다음으로, 최근 유아의 애착 행동이나 유형이 성인기까지 영향을 미치는가에 대한 장기 추적 연구들이 진행 중이다. 또한 Main 등이 개발한 AAI는 성인애착연구에 중요한 도구로 이용되었고, 이런 발전에 힘입어 부모의 해결되지 않은 애착에 관련된 문제가 자녀와 애착을 형성하는 과정에 영향을 주는 세대간 전이 현상을 발견하게 된 이후 성인 정신 병리의 원인에 대한 연구가 이러한 생애 초기의 애착과 관련된 문제에 관심을 갖게 하였다. 이 가운데 특히 성인기의 다양한 정신질환들-기분장애, 불안장애, 식사장애, 정신분열병, 해리장애, 성격장애-을 Bowlby의 발달학적 이론을 근거로 이해해 보고, 유아기의 애착과의 연관성 및 애착과 관련된 경험들이 후기 이러한 정신병리에 영향을 미칠 수 있는가에 대한 연구결과들이 논의되었다. 결 론：애착이론은 일반적인 부모의 양육과 같이 광범위한 부모-자녀 관계를 보다 심도 있게 조명할 수 있도록 한다. 또한 부모-자녀관계가 대개 사회심리적인 접근에서 이루어지고 있는 것과 달리 애착은 기본적으로 생존에 대한 생물학적인 기초에 근거하여 생태학적인 관점에서 아동의 문제를 파악할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 그리고 또한 부모-자녀관계, 나아가 아동과 가족간의 관계 속에서 파악하기 때문에 접근이나이를 기초로 하는 치료도 상호적인 관계 속에 이루어질 수밖에 없다. 따라서 앞으로 별도로 발전되어 왔던 발달 이론과 또한 별도로 독자적인 발전을 이루어 온 아동 정신병리 및 애착 장애와의 관련이 긴밀해져야 할 것이다.
