Objectives The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors that cause nocturnal crying. Methods This clinical study has been carried out with 133 infants and children, who visited to the department of Pediatrics, ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$ Oriental Medical Hospital from September 2012 to October 2012. Patient's guardian filled out the questionnaire consisting of pregnancy-birth domain, child care domain, sleep domain, nocturnal crying domain and other domains. We used PASW Statistics 18.0 to analyze each factors by Chi-square test, Fisher's exact test and independent samples t test. Results The prevalence of nocturnal crying between "frequently changing sleep posture group" and "stable sleep posture group" were significantly different (p=0.002, OR=3.557). The prevalence of nocturnal crying between "sleep problem group" and "no sleep problem group" were significantly different (p=0.022, OR=4.052). The nocturnal crying prevalence of the rest of the groups had no significant difference. Conclusions The frequently changing sleep posture increases the risk of nocturnal crying, and the presence of sleep problem increases the risk of nocturnal crying.

Purpose: To assess the association between birth weight and the development of functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) in the first year of life. Methods: This is a secondary analysis of a prospective cohort multicenter study including neonates, consecutively enrolled at birth, and followed up for one year. At birth all infants were classified by birth weight as extremely low (ELBW), very low, or low when <1,000, <1,500, and <2,500 g, respectively, and by birth weight for gestational age as appropriate (AGA, weight in the 10-90th percentile), small (SGA, weight <10th percentile), and large (LGA, weight >90th percentile) for gestational age. FGIDs were classified according to the Rome III criteria and assessed at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months of life. Results: Among 1,152 newborns enrolled, 934 (81.1%) completed the study: 302 (32.3%) were preterm, 35 (3.7%) were ELBW, 104 (11.1%) were SGA, 782 (83.7%) were AGA, and 48 (5.1%) were LGA infants. Overall, throughout the first year of life, 718 (76.9%) reported at least one FGID. The proportion of infants presenting with at least one FGID was significantly higher in ELBW (97%) compared to LBW (74%) (p=0.01) and in LGA (85.4%) and SGA (85.6%) compared to AGA (75.2%) (p=0.0001). On multivariate analysis, SGA was significantly associated with infantile colic. Conclusion: We observed an increased risk of FGIDs in ELBW, SGA, and LGA neonates. Our results suggest that prenatal factors determining birth weight may influence the development of FGIDs in infants. Understanding the role of all potential risk factors may provide new insights and targeted approaches for FGIDs.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to analyze some of the TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) clinical research literatures about pediatric night crying in order to learn clinical application of Korean medicine treatment for pediatric night crying. Methods We searched clinical trial literatures about TCM treatment of pediatric night crying from the CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure) (January 2000 to June 2018). We analyzed the literature in regards to the treatment methods and the results. Results Among the 459 searched studies, 13 randomized controlled trials and 41 case studies were selected and analyzed. In most of the studies, the effectiveness of TCM in treating patients was significantly high, so we confirmed the effectiveness of TCM on pediatric night crying. The most commonly used pattern differentiations (辨證) were Spirit damage due to fright and fear (驚恐傷神), Spleen deficiency and cold (脾虛寒) and Heart fire heat (心火熱). Methods of treatment include herbal medicines (internal medicine and external application), massage therapy (Tuina methods), acupuncture and other treatments (bloodletting). The most commonly used herb medicines were Cicadidae Periostracum (蟬?), Poria Cocos (茯?), Glycyrrhizae Radix (甘草), Uncariae Ramulus et Uncus (釣鉤藤), Junci Medulla (燈心草), Fossilia Ossis Mastodi (龍骨), Atractylodis Rhizoma Alba (白朮), Cinnabaris (朱砂), and Coptidis Rhizoma (黃連). The most commonly used massage methods were Clearing Liver Channel (淸肝經), Clearing Heart Channel (淸心經), Kneading $Xi{\check{a}}oti{\bar{a}}nx{\bar{i}}n$ (?小天心), Supplementing Spleen Channel (補脾經), Clearing $Ti{\bar{a}}nh{\acute{e}}shu{\check{i}}$ (淸天河水), and Rubbing Abdomen (摩腹). Conclusions Based on the results of clinical studies from China, the use of Korean medicine for the treatment of pediatric night crying has been shown to be effective in relieving symptoms. Based on the results of this study, it is possible to widen the scope of Korean medicine by additionally reviewing clinical and experimental studies on pediatric night crying.

목 적: 응급실을 내원한 환아들에 대한 보고들 가운데 소화기질환 환아들의 응급실 이용양상에 대한 연구는 미미한 실정이다. 이에 저자들은 소아과의사가 응급실에서도 흔히 보게 되는 비외과적 소화기질환 환아들의 응급실 이용양상에 대한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1998년 1월 1일부터 1999년 12월 31일까지 만 2년간 서울적십자병원 응급실에 내원한 (15세 미만의) 환아 중 비외과적 소화기질환 환아 1,228명을 대상으로 응급일지 및 병력일지를 근거로 하여 초진여부, 성, 연령, 계절, 질병종류, 내원시간, 체류시간, 입원율 등 응급실 이용에 관한 사항들을 전향적으로 관찰 조사하였다. 결 과: 1) 초진 환아는 60.7%이었고 1세에서 3세 사이의 환자가 30.7%로 가장 많았으며, 학동 전기인 6세 미만은 80.4%를 차지하였다. 남녀비는 1.3대 1이었다. 2) 월별 계절별로 비교적 고른 분포를 보이고 있으나 동절기와 하절기에 비교적 많았으며 내원시간은 오후 8시에서 자정까지가 35.9%로 가장 많았고 오전 4시에서 7시까지가 7.6%로 가장 적었다. 3) 체류시간은 30분에서 1시간 사이가 46.1%로 가장 많았으며 2시간 이내가 95%를 차지했는데 전체환아의 평균 체류시간은 0.86시간이었다. 4) 질환별 분포에서 급성 위장관염이 44.3%로 제일 많았고 분변폐색 및 변비 21.3%, 급성 위염16.4%, 장중첩증 4.6%, 영아 산통 4.3%, 장염 3.6%, 장폐색 1.1%, 장경련 0.6%, 장간막 림프절염 0.5%, 기능성 위장장애 0.4%, 궤양 0.2%의 순이었으며 위장관 출혈, 식중독, 식도염은 각각 0.1%이었고 특별히 진단명을 추정하지 못했던 경우는 2.4%이었다. 5) 주요 질환 5가지의 연령별 분포를 살펴볼 때 급성 위장관염과 급성 위염은 1~2세 사이에서 각각 37.7%와 26.4%로 가장 빈도가 높은 데 비해서 분변폐색 및 변비는 3~5세에서 33.2%로 빈도가 가장 높았으며, 장중첩증은 1세 미만에서 54.4%로 가장 빈도가 높았고 영아 산통은 1세 미만에서 83.0%이었다. 월별 분포에서는 급성 위장관염과 급성 위염이 동절기인 12월에 각각 12.7%와 17.9%로 가장 빈도가 높았으며 분변폐색 및 변비는 11월에 13.4%, 6월에 12.2%로 동절기와 하절기에 빈도가 높았고, 장중첩증은 5월에 24.6%로 가장 빈도가 높았으며 영아 산통은 비교적 고른 분포를 보였으나 7월과 9월에 동일하게 13.2%로 가장 빈도가 높았다. 시간별 분포에서는 5가지 주요 질환 모두 오후 8시에서 자정 사이에 가장 많았다. 6) 입원은 19.6%를 차지했으며 치료 후 귀가는 80.0%이었고 전원은 0.1%이었으며 사망은 한 명도 없었다. 결 론: 응급실에 내원한 비외과적 소화기질환 환아는 보호자에게나 담당 소아과 의사에게나 가볍게 여겨질 수 없는데 전체적인 분포는 이전의 연구에서와 큰 차이가 없었지만 각각의 질병에 따른 분포에는 차이가 있었다.
