The purpose of this study was to investigate current status of sedation training for the residents in pediatric dentistry training institutions and opinions about continuing education after the residency program. Surveys were sent to 18 pediatric dentistry training institutions by e-mail, and the responses were collected and analyzed. Most of the sedation education period for the residents were the 1st-year education (61.1%) and 1 - 3 years of integrated education (55.6%). In terms of an externship, 5 institutions (27.8%) sent their residents to the department of anesthesiology. Second half of the 1st year (50%) was the highest for a resident to use sedation for the first time. The period of supervisor participation varied from not participating at all to whole time throughout the residency program. The sedation training is conducted at all training institutions, but there were variations in the experience that a resident can gain. All training institutions agreed on the necessity of continuing education of the sedation, but there were various opinions regarding time, method, and the period of review course. Overall, this study suggested that continuing education should be consisted of 1 - 2 hours of didactic education every year and clinical skills and simulation training in every 2 - 3 years.

Methods : Sixty questionnaires from physical therapists treating children and adolescents with disabilities were analyzed. The questionnaire consisted of questions on physical therapy, participants, satisfaction, and the assessment of pediatric and adolescent physical therapy. Descriptive statistics and frequencies were used to investigate the current status, participants, and satisfaction. Differences between physical therapy participation difficulty, importance-ability of major aspects of pediatric and adolescent physical therapy, and therapy goal frequency were analyzed using paired T-test. Results : 11 to 15 cases (66.7%) and one-on-one treatment (95.0%) were performed independently (95.0%). The main ages of the subjects were preschool and school, the diagnoses were brain lesions and developmental delay, and treatment was conducted for up to 20 years or older. Satisfaction with pediatric and adolescent physical therapy was high (70.0%), as was the intensity of work (71.7%). Neurodevelopmental therapy, gait training, and goal-directed rehabilitation were the main treatments, and Gross Motor Function Measures of 88 and 66, respectively, were used. Respondents said that current fee system is inadequate (66.1%) and appropriate fee system is needed. Conclusion : This study extensively investigated the content of and factors related to pediatric and adolescent physical therapy. Based on the current situation, efforts to improve the expertise and continuity of pediatric and adolescent physical therapists and apply the latest treatment techniques are required.

Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and usefulness of thread-embedding therapy for pediatric enuresis by analyzing clinical evidence. Methods Six clinical studies on thread-embedding therapy for pediatric enuresis were selected from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database, with a focus on traditional Chinese medicine. The study designs, patient characteristics, treatment methods, and safety assessments were analyzed. Results Among the six studies, four were case reports and two were randomized controlled trials. Thread-embedding therapy was performed two to four times, with intervals ranging from one week to one month. CV3 (中極), SP6 (三陰交), ST36 (足三里) were used frequently, and the total effective rate for thread-embedding therapy ranged from 88.89% to 100%. Conclusions Thread-embedding therapy is effective for pediatric enuresis; however, more research is needed to evaluate its safety.

근래 환자의 불안을 조절하는 것이 성공적인 치료에 매우 중요하다는 인식이 확산되면서 의과, 치과, 영상의학과, 응급실 및 외래 수술센터 등에서 진정요법에 대한 필요가 현저하게 늘어났다. 응급상황이거나 아니거나 진정요법의 필요성은 점차 증가하고 있고 대한 소아치과학회는 이러한 진정요법에 대한 지침을 출간한 바 있다. 이번 개정은 진정요법에 필요한 적절한 환자감시(monitoring)의 필요에 관한 최신지견을 반영한 것이나 그럼에도 불구하고 이 지침에 충실하였다고 해서 특정환자의 결과를 보장하지는 못한다. 그러 나 이번에 소개하는 진정요법 protocol은 널리 받아들여지는 것으로 부작용 역시 최소화한 것이다. 소아 환자의 진정요법은 원하는 수준의 진정이나 투여 방법과는 상관없이 호흡기능 저하와 환자의 방어 반응이 소실될 수도 있다는 인식하에 작성되었다. 이번 호에서는 최근 2006년에 미국소아과학회와 미국소아치과학회가 공동으로 개정된 지침(Guideline for Monitoring and Management of Pediatric Patients During and After Sedation for Diagnostic and Therapeutic Procedures developed and endorsed by AAP a and AAPD)이 어떻게 변경되는지에 중점적으로 알아보며 새로 변경된 지침에 따라 소아치과의의 진정요 법의 진료와 교육도 영향을 미칠 것이다. 이러한 영향으로 다양한 약 투여방법(Alternative routes of d drug administration)과 다양한 약물의 선택에 대해 알아 보기로 한다.

Objectives : This study aimed to evaluate the clinical usefulness of Korean version of Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire(SDQ-Kr) by comparing with Korean version of Childhood Behavior Checklist (K-CBCL). Methods : The parent version of SDQ-Kr and K-CBCL were administered to parents of 313 children in psychiatric clinic, 91 children referred for psychiatric consultation from pediatric clinic and 93 control children in pediatric clinic. All children aged 4-11 years old. Children in psychiatric clinic were diagnosed with one of followings;ADHD, emotional disorders and oppositional/conduct disorder. Mean scores were compared among three groups by gender. Coefficients were calculated for corresponding problem scales and total scores of both questionnaires. ROC analysis was performed for discriminant validity to distinguish psychiatry and pediatrics samples, and also to distinguish diagnostic groups of psychiatry sample. Results : The psychiatry sample showed highest means of problem scales and total scores, followed by consultation and control sample of pediatrics. SDQ-Kr and K-CBCL were significantly correlated, and equally able to distinguish those samples with SDQ-Kr showing better results. Within the psychiatry sample, SDQ-Kr had higher predictive power for all diagnostic groups. Conclusion : This study supports clinical usefulness of SDQ-Kr. We suggest that SDQ-Kr could be used not only as a diagnostic tool for children in psychiatric clinic but also as an effective and efficient screening instrument for children in need for psychiatric evaluation in pediatric clinic.
