The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of eating habits and food preferences on the adoptive behavior of children with intellectual disabilities. Survey questionnaires were distributed to six special education schools located in the Daegu-Kyungbuk area, and data were collected from 552 families and teachers with intellectually disabled students. Identification of eating habits began with a factor analysis, and the results were a five-factor solution. Among the five patterns, factors 1 and 2 were significantly related with behavior problems of intellectually disabled children. Further, food preferences of the children were significantly related with adoptive behavior problems. The findings of this study clearly indicate that eating habits as well as food preferences are important factors in identifying adoptive behavior problems in intellectually disabled children. Based on the findings of this study, similarities and differences in eating habits are discussed, and implications for children are provided.

본 연구는 경도의 지적장애를 가진 20대 대학생이 다양하게 누운 자세변화 따른 복합적 폐활량에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 경도의 지적장애를 가진 20대 남자 대학생 20명을 대상으로 실험에 참여하였다. 실험 대상자들은 누운 자세, 오른쪽 옆으로 누운 자세, 원쪽 옆으로 누운 자세, 엎드러 누운 자세에 따라 폐기능 측정기를 이용하여 폐활량을 평가해 보았다. 자료분석은 SPSS 18.0 버전을 이용하여 실험 대상자의 자세변화에 따란 호흡변화를 분석하기 위해 일요인 반복측정 분산분석으로 검증하였다. 결과는 오른쪽 옆으로 누운 자세에서 폐활량이 가장 크게 나타났고 엎드러 누운 자세에서 가장 낮게 나타났다. 이 연구를 통해 경도의 지적장애인이 일상이나 임상에서 침상생활을 할 때 취침에서 가장 안정된 호흡능력을 확보할 수 있는 이상적인 누운 자세를 제시하고 효율적 환기능력에도 긍정적인 효과를 나타날 것으로 생각된다.

Purpose: This study examined the effects of training using the slime on the hand function and problem behavior in adults with intellectual disabilities. Methods: Five adults with intellectual disabilities who were judged as Level 1 or Level 2 were selected. The training consisted of one session (50 min)/day, one day/week for 10 weeks (preparatory activities: 5 min, slime activities: 40 min, finishing activities: 5 min) The functions of the hand (Purdue Pegboard Test [PPT], grip strength test [GST]) and problem behavior (Korean Behavior Problems Inventory [KBPI]) were assessed three times (first assessment; pre, second assessment; post-5 weeks, third assessment; post-10 weeks). Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were used to analyze changes in the subjects' performance before and after the intervention. Results: In the PPT, the use of the non-dominant hand was increased significantly (p<0.05). No significant differences were observed in the remaining results, but the mean value increased. In addition, although the problem behavior was not statistically significant, an increase in the problem behavior score was noted. Conclusion: The training using the slime for adults with intellectual disabilities is effective in hand function improvement and reducing problem behavior.

The purpose of this study was to determine if an 8-week therapeutic riding (TR) program was effective in improving the walking ability of students with intellectual disabilities. Thirteen students diagnosed with intellectual disabilities participated in the TR program. TR sessions were conducted twice a week (30 min per session), with a total of 16 rides taking place over an 8-week period. A gait measurement analyzer was used to measure progress based on a turn test (6-m walking and turning test), walk test (10-m walking), and timed up and go (TUG) test. Measurements were made three times: before horse-riding (P0), after 4 weeks (8 rides) of horse-riding (P1), and after 8 weeks (16 rides) of horse-riding (P2). Data analysis was conducted using SPSS software (ver. 22.0). Descriptive statistics were generated on the general characteristics of the subjects, and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to verify the normality of the data. Because of the lack of normality, the data were analyzed using a nonparametric method and the significance level was set to 0.05. Measurements of the duration of the forward gait cycle (s) in the turn test and the forward gait speed (m/s) in the walk test indicated improved walking ability after the TR program (p < 0.001); the stride length (% height) also increased significantly (p < 0.05). The walk test revealed a significant effect of the program on the duration of the forward gait cycle (p < 0.05), while there were significant improvements on the left and right of the elaborated strides (p < 0.001). No significant improvement in TUG test performance was observed after the TR program. In this study, an 8-week TR program had positive results on gait. Therefore, further research is merited, where TR programs are likely to improve the walking ability of individuals with intellectual disabilities.

본 연구는 경도 지적장애를 가진 20대 남성 비만인들을 대상으로 트레드밀 훈련을 통해 복합적인 호흡기능에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 한다. 비만을 가진 20대 경도의 지적장애인 20명을 대상으로 무작위로 나누어 실험군 10명과 대조군 10명을 각각 실험에 참여하였다. 실험군은 트레드밀 훈련을 30분을 실시하였고, 대조군은 고정자전거 훈련을 실시하였다. 실험대상자들은 실험전과 실험후에 Fit mate로 폐기능을 측정하여 비교하였다. 자료분석은 SPSS win 18.0으로 실험전과 후에 각 그룹간의 차이를 분석하기 위해 대응비교를 실시하였다. 실험 후 실험군에서 대조군보다 호흡기능이 더 낮게 나타났다. 이 연구를 통해 실험군은 대조군보다 호흡기능이 더 향상되었으며, 이런 결과는 비만을 가진 지적장애인의 다양한 운동프로그램으로 구성할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

본 증례에서는 정신적 장애를 가진 환자들에게 임플란트를 이용한 보철 수복을 시행하였다. 이런 환자들에게 보철물의 형식은 고정성 보철물이나, 피개의치를 사용하였고, 임플란트의 실패나 보철물의 파절은 보이지 않았다. 이런 환자들에서 구강을 청결히 유지하기 힘들기 때문에 적극적인 정기검진 및 치태 조절이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Angelman syndrome(AS) is a rare genetic neurological disorder. The main clinical characteristics of this syndrome are delayed neuropsychological development, intellectual disability, speech impairment, jerky movements especially hand-lapping, frequent laughter or smiling. AS is a classic example of genetic imprinting in that it is usually caused by deletion or inactivation of genes on the maternally inherited chromosome 15. The syndrome has oral manifestations such as diastemas, tongue thrusting, sucking/swallowing disorder, mandibular prognathism, frequent drooling, and excessive chewing behavior. The purpose of this paper is to describe the interesting aspects of the dental treatment of a childe with AS.

Angelman syndrome (AS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by intellectual disability and autism. The genetic cause is the absence of UBE3A, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, from the maternal chromosome which can arise from multiple origins. Recently discovered targets of Ube3a are important for activity dependent changes in synaptic transmission and spine morphology. Plasticity studies in an AS mouse model is important for basic plasticity research with regard to understanding protein homeostasis as well as the search for therapeutic targets for the patients. The progress on synaptic plasticity from this unique disorder is reviewed.

Chromosomal microarray (CMA) is primarily recommended for detecting clinically significant copy number variants (CNVs) in the genetic diagnosis of developmental delay, intellectual disability, autism, and congenital malformations. Prenatal CMA is recommended when a fetus has major congenital malformations. The main principles of CMA can be divided into array comparative genomic hybridization and single-nucleotide polymorphism arrays. In the current CMA platforms, these two principles are combined, and detection of genetic abnormalities including CNVs and absence of heterozygosity is facilitated. In this review, I described practical assessment of CMA testing regarding to laboratory management of CMA, interpretation of CNVs, and special considerations for comprehensive genetic counseling.
