본 연구는 자폐스펙트럼장애(Autism Spectrum Disorder, 이하 ASD) 아동을 대상으로 음악적 단서 및 후속 자극에 따른 공동주의 반응 행동이 달라지는지 알아보고, 비장애(neurotypically developing, 이하 NT) 아동 그룹과 비교하는 실험연구이다. 본 연구의 대상자는 만 3세에서 5세 사이의 ASD 아동 13명과 NT 아동 14명이다. 본 연구에서는 공동주의 반응을 유도하는 단서(음악적 단서 대 언어적 단서)와 아동의 공동주의 반응 행동에 대한 후속 자극(언어 자극 대소리 자극 대 음악 자극)을 구성하고 총 6가지 과제 조건을 2회씩 총 12회 제시하였다. 먼저, 주의 유도 단서를 제공하고 3초 이내 대상자의 주의 전환을 평가하였고 대상자의 공동주의 반응 행동이 나타난 경우, 후속 자극을 제공하였으며 후속 자극을 제공하는 동안 대상자의 사회적 참조 행동의 발생 빈도를 측정하여 비교 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 주의 유도 단계에서는 음악적 단서를 제공했을 때 ASD 아동의 공동주의 반응 행동 수준을 높게 유도하는 것으로 나타나 선행연구와 일치한 결과를 보였다. 이어 후속 자극 제공 단계에서는 음악 후속 자극이 ASD 아동의 사회적 참조 행동의 빈도를 증가시킨 것으로 확인되었다. 이는 음악 후속 자극이 단서로서의 감각자극에서 나아가 대상자로 하여금 타인의 사회적, 정서적 정보를 이해하고 반응하도록 유도하는데 그 적용 범위가 확장된 것에 의의가 있다. 또한, ASD 아동의 공동주의 행동 이후 제공하는 후속 음악 자극이 효과적인 사회적 강화 요인이 될 수 있음을 시사한다.

본 연구는 치조 마찰음의 왜곡 오류인 치간음화, 구개음화, 설측음화가 적률분석의 변인인 무게중심, 분산, 왜도, 첨도에서 정조음과 보이는 음향학적 차이를 확인하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 61명 아동(평균연령: 5.6±1.5세, 여아 19명, 남아 42명)을 대상으로 얻어진 조음음운평가(Assessment of Phonology & Articulation for Children, APAC; Urimal-test of Articulation and Phonology I, U-TAP I) 결과, 음성 중 치조 마찰음을 포함하고 있는 목표 단어에서 치조마찰음 왜곡 오류를 보인 음성과 정조음 음성을 추출하여 후향적 연구를 진행하였다. 총 169개의 음성이 적률분석에 사용되었다. 그 결과, 무게중심에서 정조음이 구개음화보다 값이 높았으며, 구개음화는 치간음화보다 값이 낮았다. 치간음화의 분산이 정조음과 구개음화보다 높았다. 치간음화가 정조음보다 높은 왜도를 보였으며 구개음화의 왜도가 정조음보다 높았다. 마지막으로 구개음화의 첨도가 정조음과 치간음화보다 높았다. 각 왜곡 오류 유형에서 적률분석의 모든 변인들에 대해 조음위치(어두초성, 어중초성), 발성유형(평음, 경음)에 따른 유의한 차이는 관찰되지 않았다. 본 연구는 치조 마찰음의 유형에 따라 무게중심, 분산, 왜도, 첨도에서 다른 패턴이 나타남을 확인하였으며, 본 연구에서 제시한 객관적 수치는 추후 임상에서 청지각 평가를 도와 치조 마찰음 왜곡 오류의 진단과정에 기초 자료로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

Two interview surveys (1976 for 800 patients, 1978 for 200 patients) and an inventory survey through medical records(1978) for epileptic patients who have registered with the Korean Epilepsy Association (Rose Club) since 1971 were carried out by trained health workers in advance of survey. The data obtained from the analysis showed as follows: 1) 35.2% of patients were born in Seoul and 70. 6% of patients born elsewhere have lived in Seoul. 2) 50-60% of patients were 15-30 years cid. 3) 33.4%, 24,6 and 24.6 of all pupils and students went to elementary, junior and senior high schools respectively. 4) 21.2% of all pupils and students had dropped out of school and 51.4% of them were away from school because of epilepsy. 5) 3.1% of all patients had no job at all and students comprised 20.9% of patients followed by clerical work, commercial business and farming with about 6% in each group.6) Reasons given for unemployment such as dismissal (4.3%), quit (27.7%), hesitation to employ (42.5%)and discontinuance of job (25.5%) were basically due to epilepsy. 7) About half(46.2%) of all patients have become Christian since the Rose Club was a voluntary agency which has been sponsored by Christians. 8) 82. 6% of patients were diagnosed as having grand mal as the most. 9) 29.4% of patients explained aura with psychomotor disturbances and 13.8% with sensory disorders. 10) 46.3% of patients were attacked with seizures when they were tired and others(11.6% and 4.9%) after excessive eating and hunger. 11) Patients suffered more seizures in spring and summer rather than in autumn and winter and most patients had attacks 1-5 times a month. 12) For etiologic reasons of epilepsy, 35.5% of patients considered it was caused by psychological stress and 11.5% by trauma. Only 1.1% of patients considered it as having hereditary components. 13) 51% of patients were slow in caring for their own illnesses. They started to reat epilepsy after spending 5 years of time from the initial seizure. Only 5.4% of patients had received the modern anti-epileptic therapy right after the nitial seizure. 14) 62.1% of patients had no therapy or irregular or incomplete treatment before registration at the Rose Club Clinic. 15) Before registration at the Rose Club, 42.4% of patients received medical care. On the other hand, 25.6% went to herb doctors and 12.5% used to go to the drugstore in order to get anti-epileptic drugs. 16) 41. 6% of patients who took anti-epileptic drugs had more or less side-effects. Indigestion was the most common. 17) For continuation of treatment, 30.3% have received treatment for more than 5 years and the evident showed that epilepsy took a longer time to be cured. 18) Regarding the medical care received 44.2% of patients were very satisfied with effective care and 26.5% felt as good. 19) For attitudes toward epilepsy. 27.0% of patients and 68.2% of patients family were pessimistic. 20) 65.9% of patients had optimistic attitudes toward effectiveness of medical care of epilepsy. 21) 64.8% of wives and husbands had better understanding and cooperative for their spouses who had epilepsy. 22) 33.3% of patients were under-treated at the place of work. 23) 70.2% of patients wished to marry when they reach childbearing age and 63% wished to have children. Through the above results it is recommended for nation-wide epilepsy control that the sound and correct health education not only from health aspect but also from welfare aspect should be planned and implemented as soon as possible.

In order to achieve a successful endodontic treatment, root canals must be obturated three-dimensionally without causing any damage to apical tissues. Accurate length determination of the root canal is critical in this case. For this reason, I've used the conventional periapical radiography, Digora/sup (R)/(digital imaging system) and Root ZX/sup (R)/(the frequency dependent type apex locator) to measure the length of the canal and compare it with the true length obtained by cutting the tooth in half and measuring the length between the occlusal surface and the apical foramen. From the information obtained by these measurements, I was able to evaluate the accuracy and clinical usefulness of each systems. whether the thickness of files used in endodontic therapy has any effect on the measuring systems was also evaluated in an effort to simplify the treatment planning phase of endodontic treatment. 29 canals of 29 sound premolars were measured with #15, #20, #25 files by 3 different dentists each using the periapical radiography. Digora/sup (R)/ and Root ZX/sup (R)/. The measurements were then compared with the true length. The results were as follows: 1. In comparing mean discrepancies between measurements obtained by using periapical radiography(mean error: -0.449±0.444 mm), Digora/sup (R)/(mean error: -0.417±0.415 mm) and Root ZX/sup (R)/(mean error: 0.123±0.458 mm) with true length. periapical radiography and Digora/sup (R)/ system had statistically significant differences(p<0.05) in most cases while Root ZX/sup (R)/ showed none(p>0.05). 2. By subtracting values obtained by using periapical radiography, Digora/sup (R)/ and Root ZX/sup (R)/ from the true length and making a distribution table of their absolute values. the following analysis was possible. In the case of periapical film. 140 out of 261<53.6％) were clinically acceptable satisfying the margin of error of less than 0.5 mm. 151 out of 261 (53,6％) were acceptable in the Digora/sup (R)/ system while Root ZX/sup (R)/ had 197 out of 261(75.5％) within the limits of 0.5mm margin of error. 3. In determining whether the thickness of files has any effect on measuring methoths, no statistically significant differences were found(p>0.05). 4. In comparing data obtained from these methods in order to evaluate the difference among measuring methods, there was no statistically significant difference between periapical radiography and Digora/sup (R)/ system(p>0.05), but there was statistically significant difference between Root ZX/sup (R)/ and periapical radiography(p<0.05). Also there was statistically significant difference between Root ZX/sup (R)/ and Digora/sup (R)/ system(p<0.05). In conclusion, Root ZX/sup (R)/ was more accurate when compared with the Digora/sup (R)/ system and periapical radiography and seems to be more effective clinically in determining root canal length. But Root ZX/sup (R)/ has its limits in determining root morphology and number of roots and its accuracy becomes questionable when apical foramen is open due to unknown reasons. Therefore the combined use of Root ZX/sup (R)/ and the periapical radiography are mandatory. Digora/sup (R)/ system seems to be more effective when periapical radiographs are needed in a short period of time because of its short processing time and less exposure.
