A study was designed to assess the current status of infant feeding and weaning practice through an retrospective survey on feeding method, a period of weaning and various kinds of weaning food. Analysing a few influential environmental factors while assessing the level of knowledge today's mothers have on infant nutrition. The results are as follows: 1. As random samples for this study, a total of 516 mothers having infants under the age of 3 were surveyed. Among them, 235 were from Seoul and 281 were from Kyongi province (Yongin, Suwon, Bupyong, Poil, Kihung, Ansan(Chungbuk)). 2. Among the infants who fell under the category of normality (Kaup index $15{\sim}18$), the infants from Seoul area amounted to 60.7%, surpassing the percentage of the infants from Kyongi province, 41.9%. The percentage of the infants belong to a group of under nutrition (Kaup index <13) was relatively higher than that of the infants in a group of overnutrition (Kaup index >20). 3. 16.1% of mother surveyed were breast-fed, 54.6% were formula-fed and 29.3% were mixed-fed. The result indicated that the percentage of breast-fed infants of high-educated, working mothers were relatively lower than those of low-educated housewives. 4. Most of the respondents knew the significance or the necessity of supplementary food in terms of weaning. 5. 98.8% of those surveyed responded that the mother's adequate knowledge on weaning was necessary. 70.1% of them replied that they wanted to get various and in-depth information in printed materials such as books or other kinds of publications. They, also showed deep interest in recipe of weaning food. 6. The average period when those surveyed began weaning of their infants was $4.3{\pm}1.8$ months. The tendency of earlier weaning in 3 months was founded among 41.1% of them. About half of the respondents, 52.3%, started weaning of their infants in $4{\sim}6$ months. In overall, 93.4% of them set on weaning in less than 6 months after babies were born. The survey, in addition, revealed an interesting fact that earlier weaning of infants was shown in the group of high-educated mothers. 7. According to the study, finishing period of weaning was $13.3{\pm}5.4$ months on average. Only 38.9% of the respondents ended weaning of their infants in 12 months, the proper period recommended by renowned experts. In general, the infants on formula-feeding finished their weaning later than those on breast-feeding (p<0.05).

Purpose: Gastroesophageal reflux in infant is a physiological process. However, surgery is performed in high risk infants with severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) when medical management fails. This study focuses on efficacy and safety of Nissen fundoplication for GERD in infants under age 12 months. Methods: This study was a retrospective case analysis of 11 neonates and infants under 12 months of age who underwent Nissen fundoplication following a failure of medical treatment between June 2010 and June 2013 at Pusan National University Children's Hospital. The records were reviewed to determine the effect of fundoplication on symptoms and post-operative complications. Results: A total of 11 infants consist of four males and seven females. Mean birth weight was $2,305.5{\pm}558.6g$ (1,390-3,130 g). They had some underlying disease, which are not related with GERD such as congenital heart disease (54.5%), prematurity (45.5%), neurologic disease (18.2%), respiratory disease (18.2%), and other gastrointestinal disease. Mean body weight at surgery was $3,803.6{\pm}1,864.9g$ (1,938.7-5,668.5 g). Mean age at operation was $99.9{\pm}107.6days$ (17-276 days). Duration from operation to full enteral feeding was 10.9 days. Symptoms related GERD disappeared in all patients including one who got reoperation. One infant died of congenital heart disease unrelated to surgery. There were no complications related to fundoplication. Conclusion: Fundoplication is effective and safe treatment in the neonates and infants with severe GERD.

This study presents results of surveys conducted Seoul area using structured questionnaire developed by researchers to determine the degree of recognition and practice of breast-feeding. The subjects were mothers of 255 childs 1-36 months of age who have experienced breast feeding over one month. Recognition of breastfeeding was significantly associated with "baby's health", "emotional relationship between mother and infant", "mother's health", "for economic reasons". The majority of mothers got information of breastfeeding through booklets(64.7%), from her mothers(44.7%), through T.V or Radio (45.5%), School education(41.6%) from mother in law(36.5%), and did not perceive professional advice from nurses or doctors as important. "Lack of milk" was the predominant reason for for terminating breastfeeding. Efforts for practice of breastfeeding was comparatively high because of experienced mothers of breastfeeding. Some of them were "frying to take liguid diet and nurtitional food for increasing secretion of milk", "fed on by infant-demanded schedule". Duration of breastfeeding was under on month (31.0%), 1-3 months(25.5%), 3-6 months(19.6%), 6-9 months (11.0%). Degree of recognition and practice of breastfeeding was significantly correlated with mother's educational background, location of delivary(big hopital), Rooming in, over 5 months of breastfeeding. Based on the results of this study, we suggest that effective and supportive breastfeeding program developed by nurses have to provide to mothers of infants to take an important role in breastfeeding.

Purpose: We observed an association between obesity and UTI in infants and pediatric patients, which we aimed to validate in this study. Method: The medical records of 740 patients (${\leq}24$ months old) hospitalized with fever were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were subdivided into 2 groups, namely, the UTI and control (non UTI) groups. We analyzed the patient's height, weight. Obesity was defined as weight-for-length ${\geq}95^{th}$ percentile, and the association between obesity and UTI was evaluated. Results: Out of 740 patients, 253 and 487 patients were in the UTI group and the control group, respectively. A comparative analysis, based on 3 age groups (0-5 months, 6-11 months, and 12-24 months) showed higher proportion of obesity in the UTI group (26.4%) than in the control group (13.0%) in the 0-5months group. After adjusting for age and gender in the 0-5month group, the obesity group was 3.76 times likely to have an UTI (95% CI 1.419-9.98). Conclusion: Obesity and UTI show strong association, especially in infants aged 0-5 months. Febrile obese infant patients (${\leq}5$ months old) visiting medical centers should be advised urine tests for potential UTI.

Purpose: Although the American Academy of Pediatrics provides clinical guidelines for urinary tract infection (UTI) infants, guidelines are not appropriate for neonates and infants less than 2 months of age due to insufficient data. The aim of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of neonates and young infants less than 2 months old (group 1) with UTI compared to older infants from 2 to 12 months old (group 2). Methods: We reviewed UTI patients aged 0 to 12 months admitted to the pediatric department in the last 5 years. Clinical characteristics such as age, sex, fever duration, recurrence, progression to acute pyelonephritis (APN), malformations like hydronephrosis and vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), and laboratory results were compared between group 1 and group 2. Results: 615 patients were included in this study. Group 1 had 94 cases and group 2 had 521 cases. Escherichia coli was the most commonly isolated pathogen in urine cultures. Fever duration was shorter in group 1 (vs.) 2 ($1.91{\pm}1.43$ days vs. $3.42{\pm}2.40$ days, P<0.05). As compared to group 2, group 1 had a higher proportion of patients with antenatal hydronephrosis and hydronephrosis found after admission (10.6% vs. 3.6% and 75.5% vs. 55.9%, P<0.05). There were differences between two groups in white blood cell (WBC) count (Group 1: $13,694{\pm}5,315/{\mu}L$, Group 2: $15,271{\pm}6,130/{\mu}L$, P<0.05) and C-reactive protein (Group 1: $32.02{\pm}35.17mg/L$, Group 2: $46.51{\pm}46.63mg/L$, P<0.05). Conclusion: Compared to older infants, UTI in neonates and young infants shows milder clinical manifestations except higher rates of hydronephrosis but outcome is alike.

This research is to compare the infant's temperament and parenting stress perceived by premature infants' mother and full-term infants' mother. It aims at establishing the healthy relationship between mothers and infants. It investigates the basic data of nursing intervention program to help the mother of premature infant. The period of data collection was from May 1, 2005 to May 30, 2005, and the subjects were total 123 mothers: 44 mothers of premature infants and 79 mothers of full-term infants under 6 months who visited general hospitals, individual pediatrics, and health center located in G city. "What My Baby Is Like(WBL)" developed by Pridham, Chang, and Chiu(1994) and translated by Bang Kyeong Sook(1999) was used as a measuring instrument of infants' temperament, and Parenting Stress Index (PSI) developed by Abidin(1990) and revised and complemented by Kim Dong Hee(1997) was used as a measuring instrument of parenting stress. Collected Data were analyzed through $X^2$-test, t-test, Pearson's correlation with SPSS 12.0 window program. The results are as follows: 1. There was a significant difference in the infant's temperament perceived by premature infants' mothers and full-term infants' mothers (t=-4.08, p=.00). In subcategory, there were significant difference between premature infants' mother and full-term infants' mother in geniality(t=-3.62, p=.00), adaptation(t=-3.43, p=.00) and reaction(t=-2.01, p=.05). 2. There was a significant difference in parenting stress between premature infants' mother and full-term infants' mother(t=6.57, p=.00). The parenting stress of premature infants mothers appeared to be higher than full-term infants' mothers. They showed the higher stress in the mother-child relationship area(t=6.27, p=.00) and child area(t=7.38, p=.00) among 3 areas of parenting stress. 3. There were negative correlation between infants' temperament and parenting stress. As mothers perceived the infant's temperament negatively, the parenting stress. Especially, the negative correlation of infants' temperament and parenting stress of premature infants' mothers(r=-.44) was stronger than that of full-term infants' mothers(r=-37). From the research, as mothers of premature infants receive more stress, their stress can cause the serious problem to the relationship of the mother and the infant. Therefore, the nursing intervention should be carried out in order to change the negative perception of mothers towards their infants into the positive perception reduce the parenting stress.

Purpose: To study the usefulness of the procalcitonin (PCT) test in young febrile infants between 1 and 3 months of age. Methods: We evaluated the medical records of 336 febrile infants between 1 and 3 months of age who visited the Emergency Department or outpatient department of Samsung Changwon Hospital from May 2015 to February 2017, and analyzed the clinical characteristics between infants in the serious bacterial infection (SBI) group and non-SBI group. Results: Among the 336 infants, 38 (11.3%) had definitive SBI (bacteremia, n=3; meningitis, n=1; urinary tract infection, n=34). The mean PCT ($6.4{\pm}11.9ng/mL$) and C-reactive protein (CRP) level ($3.8{\pm}2.6mg/dL$), and the absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ($6,984{\pm}4,675$) for patients in the SBI group were significantly higher than those for patients in the non-SBI group (PCT, $0.3{\pm}1.2ng/mL$; CRP, $1.3{\pm}1.6mg/dL$; ANC, $4,888{\pm}3,661$). PCT had lower sensitivity (43.6%), but higher specificity (92.6%) and accuracy (86.9%) than CRP (92.3%, 25.3%, and 33.0%) for identifying SBI. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUCs) for definitive SBI were PCT 77.0%, CRP 80.8%, WBC 56.8%, ANC 67.8%, and PLT 48.1%. The AUCs for definitive SBI were PCT+CRP 85.4%, PCT+WBC 77.2%, PCT+ANC 81.3%, CRP+WBC 80.1%, and CRP+ANC 81.6%. Conclusion: Our results suggest that the PCT test or a combination of PCT and CRP tests is a more accurate and specific biomarker to detect and rule out SBIs.

목 적 : 신생아를 비롯한 어린 영아의 요로 감염에 대한 국내 보고는 많지 않으며, 특히 위양성률이 낮은 방광 천자법으로 요로 감염을 진단한 보고는 없다. 본 연구자들은 방광 천자법으로 얻은 소변으로 진단된 어린 영아의 요로 감염에 대한 임상 양상을 알아보았다. 방 법 : 2002년 1월부터 2005년 6월까지 고려대학교 의료원 안산병원 소아과에 발열과 같은 감염 증상이 있어 내원한 6개월 미만의 영아에서 방광 천자를 시행하여 요 침사 현미경 검사에서 백혈구수가 5개 이상인 농뇨가 있으면서 배양 검사에서 세균이 자란 요로 감염 환아 159명을 대상으로 연령 및 성별 분포, 임상 증상 및 징후, 임상 검사 소견, 요로계 영상 검사 소견을 후향적으로 분석하여 동반된 요로 기형, 급성 신우신염과 신반흔과 같은 신피질 손상, 그리고 병발된 균혈증과 뇌수막염 여부와 그 관련 인자를 알아보았다. 결 과 : 남아 133명, 여아 26명이었고 1개월 미만의 신생아가 35명(22.0%)이었다. 소변 배양 검사에서 158례(99.4%)에서 단일 균주가 배양되었으며, Escherichia coli 148주, Klebsiella pneumoniae 5주, Enterobacter cloacae 4주, Enterobacter aerogenes 1주, Enterococcus faecalis 1주 그리고 Streptococcus agalactiae 1주가 배양되었다. 수신증이 있었던 경우는 32.7%(49/150)로 신생아는 41.2%(14/34)였다. 방광 요관 역류가 있었던 경우는 27.7%(31/112)로 신생아는 22.7%(5/22)였다. 신 스캔검사에서 신피질 손상이 37.1%(52/140)에서 관찰되었고 이 중 신생아는 37.5%(12/32)였다. 급성 신우신염 소견을 보인 경우가 29.3%(41/140)였고 신반흔 소견을 보인 경우는 7.9%(11/140)였다. 신피질 손상이 있었던 군이 신피질 손상이 없었던 군에 비해 평균 발열기간과 입원 기간이 길었으며, ESR과 CRP 농도, 수신증과 방광 요관 역류의 빈도가 높았다(P<0.05). 균혈증이 병발된 경우는 8.3%(13/158)였으며 신생아는 11.4%(4/35)였다. 나이 등 여러 임상 인자들에 있어 균혈증이 병발된 군과 균혈증이 없었던 군 사이에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 무균성 뇌수막염이 병발된 경우는 6.7%(5/75)였으며, 신생아는 7.7%(2/26)였다. 결 론 : 신생아를 비롯한 어린 영아의 요로 감염에서는 비특이적인 임상 양상을 나타내며, 특히 패혈증과 무균성 뇌수막염이 병발하기 쉬우므로 조기에 감별 진단하는 것이 중요하겠다. 또한 고혈압이나 만성 신부전과 같이 영구적인 신손상을 일으킬 수 있는 신피질 손상이 상당수에서 발견되므로, 발열 기간이 길고 염증 반응 수치가 높은 경우 신 스캔과 요로 기형을 찾기 위한 요로계 영상 검사와 추적 관찰이 꼭 필요하겠다.
