Purpose: Sleep onset association disorder (SOAD) is a form of behavioral insomnia observed in children that is caused by inappropriate sleep training. SOAD typically disturbs the sleep of not only infants and children but also their parents. We investigated levels of depression and marital intimacy among parents of infants with typical SOAD, to understand the influence of SOAD on family dynamics, as well as examine ways for improving depression and marital intimacy through behavioral training. Methods: Depression and marital intimacy were assessed using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Waring Intimacy Questionnaire (WIQ). These measures were administered to 65 parents of infants (n=50) diagnosed with SOAD. We conducted sleep education and behavioral training for the parents and compared levels of depression and marital intimacy after 2-6 weeks of training. Results: The 65 parents consisted of 50 mothers and 15 fathers. Depressive symptoms were higher among mothers than fathers (P=0.007). Marital intimacy was negatively correlated with depressive symptoms. Twenty-six parents were assessed again after sleep training. We found that mothers' depressive symptoms and marital intimacy improved post training. Conclusion: SOAD can be detrimental to both infants and parents, especially for parents who sleep with their infants. For instance, disruption of sleep patterns in such parents can reduce marital intimacy. However, behavioral modification is an effective treatment for infants with frequent nighttime waking, as well as for diminishing the depressive symptoms of sleep-deprived parents.

Midazolam은 현재 치과에서 널리 사용되고 있는 의식하 진정용 약물이다. 그러나 주로 경비투여로 사용될 뿐 경구투여 특히 소아에서 경구투여에 대한 지침이 언어 본 연구를 통해 midaaolam의 경구투여 시 진정효과에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 전신상태가 양호하며 2회 이상의 치료가 필요한 남아 15명 여아 13명, 총 28명의 환아를 대상으로 midazolam($Dormicum^{(R)}$, Roche)을 경비투여 (0.2mg/kg)와 경구투여 (0.5m/kg)하여 치과치료를 시행한 후 치료과정을 6단계로 구분하여 각 단계별로 수면지수와 울음지수, 움직임지수, 전반적인 행동지수를 측정, 비교하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 전체 치료과정동안 수면지수와 울음지수, 움직임지수, 전반적인 행동지수 비교 시 I군(경비투여)과 II군(경구투여) 사이에 유의한 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). 2. 보호자 설문조사 결과 I군에서는 67.8%의 보호자가 투여 시 아이가 고통스러워한다고 답하였으며 T군에서는 17.8%의 보호자가 투여에 어려움이 있다고 답하였다. 3. 귀가 후 행동양상에 대한 질문에서 '평상시와 비슷하다'가 I군에서는 78.6%, II군에서는 57.1%로 경비투여 시 더 빠른 회복을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 위와 같은 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 midazolam의 경구투여는 경비투여와 유사한 적절한 진정효과를 가지면서 환자에게 더 잘 받아들여지는 투여방법으로 생각된다.

Chloral Hydrate와 hydroxyzine을 경구 복용한 후 midazolam을 협점막하로 추가 투여한 진정법은 진정 심도를 깊게 해주고 안정적인 진정 상태를 유지해 준다고 보고된다. 진정 중 나타나는 반응에 대한 연구는 활발하나 퇴원 기준에 따라 환자를 귀가시킨 후 나타나는 반응에 대한 연구는 아직 부족하다. 이 연구에서는 진정법을 이용하여 치과 치료를 받은 소아 환자의 진정 후 행동 반응 및 부작용에 대해 알아보고자 한다. 이화여자대학교 목동병원 소아치과에 2005년 4월부터 2007년 12월까지 내원하여 진정법으로 치료받은 환아를 대상으로 귀가 후 24시간 이내에 전화를 이용하여 설문 조사하였다. 조사 항목은 진정 후수면 유무, 진정 후 수면 시간, 진정 후 수면 행동, 수면에서 회복 후 행동, 진정 후 구토 유무이다. 귀가 후 227명(57.8%)이 잠을 잤고 21명(6.3%)이 비정상적인 수면 행동을 보였다. 104명(31.0%)이 수면에서 회복 후 비정상적인 행동을 하였고, 10명(3.0%)이 구토 반응을 보였다. Midazolam 용량이 많으면 진정 후 잠을 잘 가능성이 크고(p<0.05), 괴로워 하면서 자거나 자다깨다를 반복할 수 있으며(p=0.055) 수면 시간도 길어질 수 있다(p=0.054). 이번 조사에서는 진정 후 수면이 많았고, 비정상적인 행동 및 구토 반응도 있었으나 우려할 만한 응급상황은 나타나지 않았다. Midazolam의 협점막하 병용 투여는 안전한 진정법으로 보이며 장기적 연구, 전향적 연구 등이 필요할 것이다.

Background: Daytime sleepiness, a common phenomenon among adolescents focused on academics, has negative effects on aspects such as growth and overall learning. However, research on various drugs and diseases affecting daytime sleepiness is lacking in the reality. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the factors influencing daytime sleepiness in adolescents with daytime sleepiness. Methods: This study was conducted through a survey of 2,432 middle and high school students, aged 14 to 19. The questionnaire consisted of information on socio-demographic characteristics, overall health status, and sleep patterns. The Pediatric Daytime Sleepiness Scale (PDSS), translated into Korean, was used to assess daytime sleepiness. Daytime sleepiness was measured by calculating the total score for each item of the PDSS, and divided into two groups based on the cutoff value of 19, which was the upper quartile. Results: We analyzed a total of 1,770 students including 799 boys and 971 girls. Students with a PDSS score of 19 or higher made up 33.3% of boys and 66.7% of girls. In multivariate analyses, females, smoking, poor self-reported health level, sleep after 12 am, not feeling refreshed in the morning, headache, muscle pain, and scoliosis increased the risk of daytime sleepiness significantly. The AUROC of PDSS, including significant factors in multivariate analyses, was 0.751 (95% CI 0.725~0.776). Conclusions: Daytime sleepiness in adolescents affects growth, academic performance, and emotional stability. Therefore, it is important to manage medications, diseases, and other factors that affect daytime sleepiness on a social level.

Objectives : In evaluating a child with enuresis, an organized approach to the history leads to a working diagnosis and an appropriate treatment plan. but, there's no study about history taking in enuretic children. This article was undertaken to evaluate the enuretic child exactly and to study nocturnal enuresis systematically. Methods : It was conducted a computerized literature search in following database: Medline (via Pubmed), NDSL, EBSCO. Korean articles via oriental pediatric association homepage, KISS. Key words to search were 'nocturnal enuresis', 'bedwetting', 'enuresis', 'incontinence', 'management', 'evaluation', 'assessment', 'questionnaire', 'guideline', 'voiding dysfunction'. Results : Questions are grouped in eight categories: primary history(sex, age, height, weight), family history, enuresis history(primary/secondary, frequency, time of enuresis, nocturia), voiding history(average number, frequency, pattern, volume, posture, daytime enuresis), medical history, constipation/encopresis, sleep(OSA). Conclusion : A careful, complete history taking will help to plan treatment properly and to study.

Purpose: To investigate the clinical characteristics of late-onset epilepsy combined with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and the relationship between certain types of electroencephalography (EEG) abnormalities in ASD and associated neuropsychological problems. Methods: Thirty patients diagnosed with ASD in early childhood and later developed clinical seizures were reviewed retrospectively. First, the clinical characteristics, language and behavioral regression, and EEG findings of these late-onset epilepsy patients with ASD were investigated. The patients were then classified into 2 groups according to the severity of the EEG abnormalities in the background rhythm and paroxysmal discharges. In the severe group, EEG showed persistent asymmetry, slow and disorganized background rhythms, and continuous sharp and slow waves during slow sleep (CSWS). Results: Between the two groups, there was no statistically significant difference in mean age (P=0.259), age of epilepsy diagnosis (P=0.237), associated family history (P=0.074), and positive abnormal magnetic resonance image (MRI) findings (P=0.084). The severe EEG group tended to have more neuropsychological problems (P=0.074). The severe group statistically showed more electrographic seizures in EEG (P=0.000). Rett syndrome was correlated with more severe EEG abnormalities (P=0.002). Although formal cognitive function tests were not performed, the parents reported an improvement in neuropsychological function on the follow up checkup according to a parent's questionnaire. Conclusion: Although some ASD patients with late-onset epilepsy showed severe EEG abnormalities, including CSWS, they generally showed an improvement in EEG and clinical symptoms in the longterm follow up. In addition, severe EEG abnormalities tended to be related to the neuropsychological function.

Purpose: Chronic upper airway obstruction causes hypoxemic pulmonary vasoconstriction, which may lead to right ventricle (RV) dysfunction. Adenotonsillar hypertrophy (ATH) is the most common cause of upper airway obstruction in children. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate RV function in children with ATH. Methods: Twenty-one children (male/female, 15/6; mean age, $92.3{\pm}39.0$ months; age range, 4-15 years) with ATH and 21 healthy age- and gender-matched controls were included in this study. Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion and RV myocardial performance index were measured by transthoracic echocardiography. Further, the plasma level of N-terminal of probrain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), an indicator of RV function, was determined. Results: The snoring-tiredness during daytime-observed apnea-high blood pressure (STOP) questionnaire was completed by the patients' parents, and loud snoring was noted in the ATH group. The plasma NT-proBNP level was significantly higher in the ATH group than that in the controls ($66.44{\pm}37.63pg/mL$ vs. $27.85{\pm}8.89pg/mL$, P=0.001). The echocardiographic parameters were not significantly different between the groups. Conclusion: We were unable to confirm the significance of echocardiographic evidence of RV dysfunction in the management of children with ATH. However, the plasma NT-proBNP level was significantly higher in the ATH group than that in the control, suggesting that chronic airway obstruction in children may carry a risk for cardiac dysfunction. Therefore, more patients should be examined using transthoracic echocardiography. In addition, pediatricians and otolaryngologists should consider cardiologic aspects during the management of children with severe ATH.
