  • Objectives:We analyzed the usefulness of intelligence test in assessing attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Methods:The medical records of 312 patients with ADHD who visited the child psychiatry department in one university hospital in Seoul, Korea, were reviewed. Demographic data and scores on the Korean Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-III (K-WISC-III) and Korean-Conners' Parent Rating Scale (K-CPRS) were analyzed. To assess the relationship with comorbidities, AD-HD subjects were classified as; externalizing disorders, internalizing disorders, tic disorders, and no comorbidities. Results:Verbal intelligence quotient (VIQ) was significantly higher than performance IQ (PIQ)($102.6{\pm}14.44$, $99.2{\pm}14.48$, p<.001). Using mean scatter method, subtest scores such as 'information, similarities, digit span and coding' were significantly lower than mean scores of sum of subtests of VIQ or PIQ (p<.05). Regarding comorbidities, children with externalizing disorders exhibited. Lower scores on 'information and vocabulary' than other groups (p=.008). Children with no comorbidities exhibited higher scores on 'similarities and object assembly' than children with externalizing/internalizing disorders (p=.001) and also on 'comprehension' than children with externalizing disorders (p=.006). For subtypes of ADHD, children with hyperactive-impulsive type had higher scores on 'comprehension' than children with inattentive and combined type (p=.004). Conclusion:These results suggested that intelligence test might provide useful information for assessing ADHD.

  • Learning disabilities (LD) are heterogeneous group of disorders with evidences of genetic or familial trait, intrinsic to the individual and presume to be due to central nervous dysfunction. Learning disabilities and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are the two of the most common disorders in the population of school-age children. Typically academic achievements in children with learning disabilities are significantly lower than expected by their normal or above normal range of IQ. Although academic and cognitive deficits are hallmarks of children with LD, those children are also at risk for a broad range of behavioral and emotional problems. Almost all cases meet criteria for at least one additional diagnosis such as ADHD, developmental coordination disorder, depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, tic disorder, among which ADHD is particularly predominant. Because of the response to the therapeutic intervention program is promising and positive when applied early, it is critical to recognize patients as early as possible. Pediatricians often are the first to hear from parents worried about a childs academic progress. It is not the responsibility of pediatrician to make a diagnosis, referring children for a diagnostic evaluation of LD is a reasonable first step. Pediatricians can make early referral of suspicious children by asking some serial short questions about basic and processing skills. With a basic knowledge about the clinical characteristics, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures of LD, pediatricians also can provide primary counseling and education for parents at their outpatient clinical settings.

  • Toxic epidermal necrolysis is an unpredictable and severe adverse drug reaction. In toxic epidermal necrolysis, epidermal damage appears to result from keratinocyte apoptosis. This condition is triggered by many factors, principally drugs such as antiepileptic medications, antibiotics (particularly sulfonamide), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, allopurinol, and nevirapine. Lamotrigine has been reported potentially cause serious cutaneous reactions, and concomitant use of valproic acid with lamotrigine significantly increases this risk. We describe a case of an 11-year-old girl with tic and major depressive disorders who developed toxic epidermal necrolysis after treatment with lamotrigine, and who was diagnosed both clinically and pathologically. Children are more susceptible to lamotrigine-induced rash than adults, and risk of serious rash can be lessened by strict adherence to dosing guidelines. Unfortunately, in our case, the patient was administered a higher dose than the required regimen. Therefore, clinicians should strictly adhere to the dose regimen when using lamotrigine, especially in children.

  • With the progress of civilization, the disorders due to the stress, which derived from the social-structural complexity and diversity, are on an increasing trend in our times. Accordingly, the accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment for them are required. Especially in the current years, children's disorders delivered by the emotional problems keep increasing. In this research, the researcher tried to figure out the cause of the children's stress and its treatment, studied the theories of the stress in the modem medicine and the sever emotions in oriental medicine, and came to the conclusion as follows: 1. The stress can be defined as the combination of the reaction to noxious stimuli and its defense mechanism of the body, In oriental medicine, it is considered as pathological notions which includes seven emotions as the internal factor, six evils as the external factor and other foods, expectoration, ecchymoma as the non-internal/external factors. 2. Children usually get stressed by various reasons in a growth process such as schooling, relationship with friends, the opposite sex of family, or change of surroundings, and these can cause the various disorders. 3. In the study of the children's stress symptoms, it is found that the silent reaction is uncommon. It usually appeared in both reactions: firs, physical reactions such as stomachache, vomiting, headache, neural frequent urination, bronchial asthma or excessive respiration and/or, second, behavioral reactions such as a decline of performance, alimentary disorder, e.g. anorexia nervosa or bulimia, sleep disorder, e.g. nightmare or panic in sleep, anthrophobia, refusal to a school attendance or hyperactiveness. Besides, the peculiar mental disorder such as paroxysm of anger, tic, autism, nocturnal enuresis, lack of attentiveness, impediment in linguistic development, learning difficulty, intellectual decline, etc. can be appeared, and the heavy stress during the babyhood can cause the regression of behavior or the immaturity of formation of character. 4. The appropriate treatments for the children's stress are Osteopathy, Manpulation, Aroma Therapy, Alexander Technique, Autonomic Never Control Treatment, Biofeedback, Chiropractic, Dance Therapy, Feldenkrasis Technique, Gravity Therapy, Homepathy, Aquatherapy, Hypnotherapy, Naturopathy and Meditation.

  • Objectives: This study investigated the reliability and validity of the Korean version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) Level 2 Cross-Cutting Symptom Measure-Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS)-Depression and the Irritability for parents of children aged 6-17 years. Methods: Participants were 190 children diagnosed with depressive disorder (n=14), anxiety disorder (n=21), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD; n=111), ADHD with anxious depression (n=13), and tic disorder with somatic symptoms (n=31). Patients were 8-15 years of age. The participants' mothers completed the Korean versions of the DSM-5 Level 2 Cross-Cutting Symptom Measure-PROMIS Depression and Irritability (Affective Reactivity Index, ARI), and the Korean Child Behavior Checklist (K-CBCL). Using these data, we calculated the reliability coefficient and examined the concurrent and discriminant validity of the PROMIS Depression and the Irritability (ARI) scales for assessing depression and irritability in children. Results: The reliability coefficient of the PROMIS Depression scale (Cronbach's α) was 0.93. The correlation coefficient with the K-CBCL DSM emotional problem score was 0.71. The PROMIS Depression scale significantly discriminated children with depressive disorders from those with other conditions. The reliability coefficient of the Irritability (ARI) scale was 0.91, suggesting its high reliability. Conclusion: Our results suggest that the Korean version of the DSM-5 Level 2 Cross-Cutting Symptom Measure for Depression and Irritability Scales for parents of children aged 6-17 years is reliable and valid and may be an efficient alternative to the K-CBCL.

  • Objectives: To establish a base for further research by reviewing studies on traditional Chinese medicine treatment for Tourette Syndrome. This is the purpose of this study. Methods: Clinical studies involving the effects of traditional Chinese medicine treatment for Tourette Syndrome, published January 2010~June 2017, were obtained from CNKI, Pubmed. Selected Studies were evaluated by the Jadad Scale. Results: Among a total of 252 articles, 39 articles that meet the criteria were selected. 'Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders, 4th edition (DSM-IV)' was most frequently used as diagnosis criteria. 'Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS)' was primarily used for outcome measurements. Most of the studies showed effective results of traditional Chinese medicine therapy. However, the quality of a selected clinical studies was low. Conclusions: Despite several limitations, various studies to prove limited yet effective traditional Chinese medicine treatment on Tourette Syndrome provides much significance. Subsequent studies conducted by the complementary systematic review and well-designed clinical trials using the methodological quality will be needed to more firmly validate the effect of traditional Chinese medicine therapy.

  • 연구목적:본 연구는 한국인에 있어서의 뚜렛 장애 환아 가족에서 COMT유전자의 유전적 다형성과 뚜렛 장애와의 연관성에 대해 고찰하기 위해 수행되었다. 위험 대립 유전자와 특정 임상 양상(틱 증상의 중증도, 공존 질환, 약물 반응)과의 관련성에 대한 것도 함께 연구하였다. 방 법:환아군은 서울대학교 병원 소아 청소년 분과의 틱 장애 클리닉에서 모집하였고, 두 단계의 평가를 거쳐 선별되었다. 우선 모든 환아와 부모는 Kiddie-Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia-Present and Lifetime Version(이하 K-SADS-PL)한국어판을 이용한 반구조적 면담을 받았고, 다음으로 모든 부모에게 임상적 면담을 시행하고 YGTSS한국어 판을 이용하여 틱 증상의 중증도에 대한 평가를 하였다. 대조군은 본 병원의 건강증진센터로부터 모집하였고 Symptom CheckList-90(이하 SCL-90)과 Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV(이하 SCID-IV)를 이용하여 평가하였다. 위 과정을 모두 거쳐 뚜렛 장애가 있는 총 42명의 소아, 청소년과 그들의 84명의 부모, 86명의 대조군이 최종적으로 선별되었다. 표준화된 방법을 이용하여 catecholamine-O-methyltransferase(이하 COMT)유전자의 Val158Met 다형성을 알아보기 위한 유전자형 채취를 시행하였다. 모든 환아와 부모, 대조군의 유전적 정보를 수집한 후 환아-대조군 비교와 TDT를 시행하였다. 결 과 : 환아-대조군 연구로부터 L대립 유전자와 LL유전형의 빈도가 뚜렛 장애 환아군에서 유의하게 높음이 관찰되었다. 그러나 TDT에서는 유의한 차이가 관찰되지 않았다. 또 뚜렛 장애 환아군의 세 가지 서로 다른 유전형 사이에 틱 장애의 가족력, 주의력결핍 과잉행동장애, 강박증, 약물에 대한 반응, 공존 질환 여부 등에 있어서 유의한 차이는 없었다. 결 론:본 연구에 있어 사례 수가 적고 TDT에서 유의한 결과가 발견되지 않았기 때문에 해석에 조심을 기할 필요는 있겠으나, 본 연구는 COMT유전자의 기능적 다형성과 뚜렛 장애 간에 연관 관계가 있음을 밝혀 낸 최초의 보고라 하겠다.

  • 저자는 소아정신과 영역에서 흔하게 관찰되는 주의산만과 과잉운동을 주소로 하는 아동들의 진단특성과 이와 관련된 임상변인들을 알아보기 위하여 본 연구를 시행하였다. 대학병원 소아정신과에 내원한 아동들에서 주의력과 과잉운동 문제를 보이는 5세에서 14세 사이 총 71명(남자 63 명, 여자 8명)을 대상으로 하여, KEDI-WISC, KPI-C, ADS를 시행하였고 진단 분류에 따라 1) ADHD만 있는 군 2) 공존 질환이 있는 ADHD군 3) ADHD 이외의 진단군으로 나누어 비교한 결과 아래와 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) ADHD 단독 진단군이 17명(23.9%), 공존질환이 ADHD는 26명(38.0%)이었으며 공존질환은 틱장애가 가장 많고 발달성 언어장애, 경계성 지능, 적대적 반항/품행장애, 경계성 지적능력, 학습장애의 순서를 보였으며, ADHD 이외의 진단군 27명(38.0%)은 틱장애, 경계성 지능, 우울/불안장애, 적대적 반항/품행장애의 진단 분포를 나타냈다. 2) 지능검사에서 전체지능, 언어성 지능, 동작성 지능 모두 군별 차이를 보였고 ADHD만 있는 군에서 공존질환 ADHD군보다 전체지능과 언어지능이 유의하게 높은 수치를 나타냈다. KPI-C 임상 척도는 군별 차이를 보이지 않았다. ADS 시각자극 검사에서 누락오류(omission)와 민감도(d')가 세 군 사이에 의미있는 차이를 보였고, 공존질환이 있는 ADHD 군이 ADHD이외의 진단군에 비해 유의하게 누락오류가 많고 민감도는 낮았다. 본 연구 결과를 볼때 아동의 주의산만과 과잉운동 증상은 주 진단인 ADHD 이외에도 다양한 정신과 질환으로 진단될 수 있으므로 이에 대한 감별이 필요하며, 또한 공존질환이 있는 ADHD군이 ADHD만 있는 군이나 기타 질환군보다 주의력에 문제가 많고 지능 수치가 상대적으로 낮아 학습 및 학교 생활 적응에 어려움이 더 많을 것이므로 적극적인 치료개입이 필요할 것으로 생각되었다.
