  • Purpose: Malnutrition in children with cerebral palsy (CP) is a significant factor affecting their adequate growth and development. This study aimed at conducting surveys and evaluating the dietary intake of children with CP according to their BMI classification and to thereby highlight the dietary factors affecting the nutritional status of these children. Methods: A total of 16 children were enrolled between the age of four and twelve. These subjects were further classified into three groups, namely underweight, normal and obese, with 6, 8, and 2 children in each group, respectively. The general characteristics, motor disturbances, body composition, feeding problems, eating habits, nutritional intake, dietary variety, and food frequency for children with CP were evaluated. Results: It was observed that motor disturbances tended to increase in underweight children with CP. A significant decrease (p < 0.05) in disturbances related to oral feeding was observed with an increase in obesity. The pattern of eating habits revealed that subjects in the underweight group consumed unbalanced meals, while those in the obese group tended to consume larger meals at a faster pace. The feeding disturbance data revealed that those in the underweight group could not prepare their meals while the obese group had the problem of overeating and consuming an unbalanced diet (p < 0.05). Conclusion: It is necessary for both children with CP, who have a high degree of disability, and their caregivers to take lessons on adequate nutrient intake to prevent malnutrition. Moreover, it is necessary for the caregivers and children with CP having a low degree of disability to take lessons on providing and consuming a balanced diet and to focus on the intake of sufficient calcium in order to prevent obesity.

  • The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between young children's picky eating behavior and mother's attitudes, beliefs and practices regarding the eating habits of children. Using a sample of 304 mothers of four or five year-old children, confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to test a 7 factor model, which included mother's beliefs and practices related to the feeding of their children. Following this, a t-test was conducted to examine the differences between the feeding behaviors of mothers of both of picky and non-oicky eaters, respectively. The results indicated that picky eater's eating behaviors were positively related to the pressures exerted by mothers and negatively related to the mother's concerns about their child's weight and child's BMI. These findings suggest that the pressures mothers exert upon their children to eat, their child's weight and picky eating behaviors are correlated to each other.

  • The otitis media has the highest rate of occurrence in 6-36 month after birth, and relatively high rate of occurrence to six years old. It is one of major cause for hearing loss problem because of its high rate of recurrence. The researcher observed at bed that feeding posture and feeding habit at night have some relationship with occurrence of otitis media. I found that medical research in this area was very weak, and it caused her to concentrate her research on the topic. This paper was undertook a retrospective case-control study to find out the relationship between the mode of feeding and the occurrence of otitis media among the otitis media patients and the healthy persons. As the controling groups, the researcher chose fifty eight mothers whose children received the treatment of otitis media(6-36 months after birth) from the pediatrics clinic of two general hospitals in Seoul, as the patient group, and forty five mothers who consulted with their child to well baby clinic at the general hospital and kindergarten in Seoul as the control group. The results of the survey can be summarized as followed : 1. "Otitis media patient group may have more lying posture mothers while feeding than the healthy control group". The first hypothesis is supported by the fact that the children who have lying posture feeding habit mothers are more easily exposed to otitis media than those who have sitting posture feeding habit mothers as the analysis show : $X^2=8.142$, p = .017 2. "Otitis media patient group may have higher rate of sleeping habit with milk bottle on the month at night than the healthy control group does". The second hypothesis was supported by the fact that the patients group has higher rate of expected sleeping habit than the healthy group dose as the analysis show : $X^2=4.35$, p = .037 3. "Otitis media can be found more in the artificial feeding group than in the healthy children group". The hypothesis is rejected by the analysis, $X^2=1.550$, p = .416. Though the hypothesis is not supported by this research, we need to encourage mothers to feed mother's breast milk on the ground that healthy group has mother's milk feeding tendency, and the best food for infants is their mother's milk, and psychological-sociological effects of breast feeding os quite good for children. It will improve the health of infants. It can be summarized as follows : Otitis media is more concerned with posture of feeding and night feeding habits than feeding modes. On the basis of this survey, feeding education problem for mothers of infants need to be developed. In the education, sitting-embracing posture of feeding, mother's breast feeding, and prohibition of children's lying posture feeding at night need to be emphasized.

  • Purpose: Although Bednar's aphthae are common and regress spontaneously, these lesions may lead to feeding intolerance and are often misdiagnosed, rendering examinations useless. This study sheds new light on the clinical features of Bednar's aphthae. Methods: Sixteen neonates and infants were newly diagnosed with Bednar's aphthae via routine health check-ups in an outpatient clinic. Medical records were retrospectively reviewed, and the following parameters were analyzed; sex, gestational age, birth weight, mode of delivery, and perinatal problems. A physical examination was carried out during the next outpatient visit to examine the healing process and check for the existence of scars or complications. Results: Initial presentation included changes in feeding habits (n=10), longer feeding time, reduced intake, and increased irritability. In 6 patients, Bednar's aphthae were discovered incidentally, without prior symptoms. Feeding posture and method of feeding are important causes of Bednar's aphthae. Eleven patients were fed in a horizontal position, whereas 5 patients were fed in a semiseated position. Fifteen patients were bottle-fed, whereas 1 patient was exclusively breastfed. After correcting the feeding position, the ulcerative lesions disappeared within 1 month of diagnosis. During the follow-up period, lesions did not recur in any of the patients. Conclusion: This study suggests that Bednar's aphthae are caused by mechanical pressure. A diagnosis of Bednar's aphthae should be considered when lesions are found on the palate of infants and when symptoms seem to be feeding related. Proper education of parents can both treat Bednar's aphthae and easily prevent its recurrence.

  • 남한강 지류인 충청북도 충주시 가금면 봉황리 한포천에서 2005년 10월부터 2006년 10월까지 계절별로 퉁가리(L. andersoni)를 대상으로 식성을 조사 연구하였다. 주요먹이생물로는 파리목, 하루살이목, 날도래목 등의 수서곤충이었으며, 체장이 50 mm 이하인 개체들에서는 크기가 매우 작으며, 먹이생물이 풍부한 꼬마하루살이류와 깔따구류를 주로 섭식하였고, 점차 성장하면서 크기가 크고 중량이 무거운 납작하루살이류가 주요 먹이생물로 나타났다. 깔따구류와 날도래류는 모든 개체들에서 고르게 섭식되었다. 계절에 따른 먹이생물의 구성은 여름과 가을에 다양하였고 겨울에 단순한 경향을 보였는데, 봄에는 하루살이류를 집중적으로 섭취하였으며, 여름과 가을에는 비교적 균등하게 먹이생물을 선택하였고, 수온이 낮은 겨울에는 이동력이 약한 날도래류와 깔따구류를 집중적으로 섭식하였다. 또한 위충만도 분석 결과 본 종은 섭식활동이 주로 일몰직후 시작되어 02~03시에 가장 활발하였으며, 일출직후부터는 점차 감소하여 낮에는 거의 이루어지지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 퉁가리는 야간에 여울역의 바위나 자갈의 표면에 서식하는 수서곤충을 주로 섭식하는 저서성 육식포식자에 속하는 어류로 판단된다.

  • 2005년 11월에서 2006년 2월까지 한국 남해 가덕도 주변해역에서 채집한 대구 (G. macrocephalus) 192개체의 위내용물을 분석하였다. 대구의 주 먹이생물은 분홍갯가꼬마새우(E. spathulirostris), 마루자주새우(C. hakodatei), 자주새우(C. affinis) 등과 같은 새우류(Macrura)였으며, 그 다음으로 어류(Pisces)가 많이 섭이 되었다. 그 외 두족류 (Cephalopoda), 단각류(Amphipoda), 게류(Brachyura), 집게류 (Anomura) 등도 대구의 위내용물 중에서 발견되었으나, 그 양은 많지 않았다. 대구의 크기별로 보면 35~45 cm SL 크기군에서는 새우류를 주로 섭이하였으나, 55 cm 이상의 큰 개체는 새우류와 어류와 두족류를 골고루 섭이하였다. 본 연구에서 대구의 먹이생물 중 잘피밭에 서식하는 실고기가 많이 발견되었는데 이는 대구가 가덕도 주변해역에 분포되어 있는 잘피밭에서 상당 시간을 머물고 있음을 의미한다. 이 결과로 미루어보아 대구가 진해만을 포함한 가덕도 주변해역으로 산란하러 오는 것은 부화된 자어와 치어가 어린 시기를 먹이가 풍부하고 보다 안전한 잘피밭에 머물며 성장하도록 하기 위한 생존전략으로 추정된다.

  • The feeding habits of Lycodes tanakae Eelpout were studied with 722 specimens collected from March 2011 to December 2012 in the coastal waters of the middle East Sea. The main prey of L. tanakae were fish, molluscs and arthropods. Nevertheless annelida, echinodermata and others were found in small amounts in the stomach contents. The L. tanakae stomach was empty of contents in 50.9% of specimens. While smaller size specimens of L. tanakae (less than 40 cm) fed mainly on euphausiids and amphipods, the larger specimens (more than 40 cm) fed on the fish Allolepis hollandi and Icelus cataphractus, and the molluscs Berryteuthis magister and Watasenia scintillans. The main prey items of L. tanakae varied seasonally. The fish Lycodes nakamurai was the dominat prey from November to January during its spawning season. Euphausiids and amphipods of the arthropods were the dominant prey from February to April. The molluscs Berryteuthis magister and Watasenia scintillans were the dominant prey from May to September. The diversity index (H') of diets showed variations by length class and month; the highest values were 2.61 in the length class of 51-55 cm, and the monthly highest were 2.68 in September with 23 species and 2.65 in November with 18 species. The highest dominance index (D') of diets was 0.57 in the length class of 31-35 cm, and the monthly highest was 0.71 in February. Cluster analysis divided prey groups into four groups by length class and three groups by monthly prey items. The gonad index gradually increased during the process of maturation while, contrary, stomach content index decreased during this period.
