Pectus excavatum. the most common congenital chest wall deformity, is manifested by deformity of the costal cartilages resulting in a depressed and often rotated sternum. Surgical correction of this disease is frequently indicated for aesthetic improvement. The most popular current repair involves resection of abnormal costal cartilages, sternal osteotomy and mobilization, followed by fixation of the sternum in the corrected position.12 patients have been operated upon for pectus excavatum by the Adkins` method for 8 years in our hospital and the results were as follows: 1. All the patients were male. Age distribution was 2-26 years[average 10.8 years] and 69.2% were below 7 years. 2. The deformity was found at neonate or infant in the most of the patients [92.3 %] 3. The subjective symptoms were frequent URI[35.7%], dyspena on exertion[21.4%], chest dis comfort[7.1%], asthma [7.1%] and most of the patients didn`t like their appearance. 4. Combined diseases were urticaria in 2 cases, bilateral cryptomhism and pulmonary tuberculosis in 1 case each other. 5. Welch index ranged from 1.7 to 5.0 with the average of 3.47. 6. Postoperative complications were pneumothorax [45.5%], wound infection [36.4%] and skin necrosis [18.2%]. Although the period of follow-up was short in some cases there was no relapse.

후인두림프관종은 무증상으로 시작되어 크기의 증가에 따라 주위 구조물들을 압박하여 호흡곤란이나 연하곤란 등의 2차적 증상들을 유발할 수도 있는 드문 양성 종양이다. 현재까지 치료는 수술에 의한 완전 적출이 원칙이나 기도 주변에 인접한 림프종의 경우에는 완전 적출이 어려워 예후가 나쁘다. 신생아에서 후인두림프관종이 보고 된 경우는 드물며, 수술 후에 비인두역류증이 발생된 경우는 극히 드물다. 이에 저자들은 생후 14일에 호흡곤란 및 연하곤란 증상을 보인 신생아에서 후인두림프관종을 진단하여 완전 적출술로 치료하였으며 수술 후에 비인두역류증이 일정 기간 지속되어 보존적 치료를 시행한 후 회복된 1례를 경험하였기에 이를 보고하고자 한다.

A maternity ward in a hospital in Seoul has an educational program for postpartal mothers since its opening, but evaluation on the program has not been done. This study was to find whether the educational program contributed to increase of knowledge and confidence of the post-partal mothers in the area of postpartal self-care and the newborn baby care or not. This study aimed at improvement of the educational program for posrpartal mothers and the newborn babies. Subjects were 40 primiparae who were admitted to the obstetric ward in a general hospitals in Seoul from August 20th to September 10th, 1995. Subjects were those who had no labor pain at the admission time, had no complications during labor and delivery, gave a birth to a healthy baby, and agreed to participate in this study. All subjects were well educated and were in well-to-do group. Most of them received antenatal care adequately. They were tested on knowledge and self-confidence in the area of postpartal self-care and infant care two times, one at the admission time and the other prior to discharge. After the first test, nurses in a maternity ward and nursery taught them on postpartal self-care and infant care. Education consisted of a 1 hour planned program and incident teachings done at bed side. Four tools were developed by authors based literature review. The test tool for knowledge of postpartal self-care consisted of 15 items which included the definition of postpartum, dangerous symptoms in postpartum, lochia, time to begin coitus, postpartum exercise, sitz-bath, and perineal care. The test tool for self-confidence in postpartal self-care included such items as emergency care on dangerous symptoms in postpartum, sexual life and contraception after postpartum, self-confidence in postpartum exercise and perineal care. The test tool for knowledge of newborn baby care consisted of 18 items which included bathing, umbilical cord care, vaccination, breast feeding, abnormal symptoms of neonate. The test tool for self confidence in the newborn baby care included umbilical cord care, vaccination, breast feeding, emergency care for baby. Analysis of demographic data were analyzed with calculation of percentage. Score differences between the first test and the second test were analyzed with paired t-test. SAS / PC (Release 6.04 for DOS) program are as follows. 1. Mothers' knowledge of postpartal self-care increased significantly after education (t=10.04, df=38, p=0.0001). 2. Mothers' self-confidence in postpartal self-care increased significantly after education (t=6.53, df=38, p=0.0001). 3. Mother's knowledge of the newborn abay care increased significantly after education (t=9.74, df=38, p=0.0001). 4. Mothers' self-confidence in the newborn baby care increased significantly after education(t=8.22, df=38, p=0.0001) Suggestions for further studies and nursing practice were as follows. 1. We suggest studies by randomized control-group pretest-posttest design or nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design will be done. 2. We suggest follow-up studies to find if mothers's confidence will last or not after discharge. 3. We suggest general hospitals to establish a phone-counseling system.

설유착증(tongue-tie)은 비정상적으로 짧은 설소대로 인하여 혀의 움직임이 제한되는 것을 의미한다. 영유아에서 심한 설유착증은 수유곤란을 야기하기도 하고, 증상이 지속적으로 존재할 때는 혀의 운동범위가 제한되어 발음문제를 야기할 수 있다. 또한 비정상적인 혀의 위치로 인해 여러 가지 교정적인 문제를 초래 할 뿐만 아니라, 기능적, 사회적 장애요소로 작용할 수도 있다. 설유착증의 치료방법으로는 관찰, 언어치료, 단순절개술 그리고 절제술 등이 있는데, 수술시기에 대한 논란은 있지만 정도가 심하여 장기간 언어장애가 지속되거나 교정적인 문제를 야기 할 것으로 판단되는 경우 조기수술이 권장되고 있다. 진정요법은 조기치료가 필요한 나이가 어리고 비협조적인 환아들이나, 신체적, 정신적 이유로 통상적 인 치과진료에 어려움이 있는 환아들에게 효과적으로 사용될 수 있는 방법이다. 본 증례는 설유착증으로 수술이 필요하나 협조전단계인 환아를 대상으로 경구투여를 이용한 진정요법으로 소대절제술을 시행하여 양호한 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.

The purpose of this study was to identify the sleep/activity patterns of neonates and to provide a baseline data for the development effective mother-infant relationship. Subjects of this study were 36 newborns aged 1-21 days and stayed in Postpartum Care Center in Taejon during the period of October 28th, 1999 to February 10th, 2000. The data were collected using NCASA developed by Barnard et al. and were analyzed with SPSS 7.5 for window program. The results of this study were as follows: 1. An average day sleep of neonates was 8.0 hours, night sleep was 3.6 hours, and total sleep was 11.6 hours. A longest period of day sleep was 3.8 hours and a longest period of night sleep was 3.4 hours. The regularity of day sleep was 22.1%, night sleep was 23.3%, and total was 22.1%. 2. The frequency of daytime feeding was 6.9, nighttime fee ding was 3.4, resulting in total of 10.3. The regularity of feeding was 37.4%, and the frequency of night awakening was 2.4. 3. Associations among variables related to neonate's sleep/activity records were as follows : - The regularity of total sleep was positively correlated with the frequencies of day sleep(r=.57, P=.00), night sleep (r=.40, P=.01), and total sleep(r=.65, P=.00). - The frequency of total feeding was negatively correlated with the frequencies of day sleep(r=-.29, P=.04), night sleep(r=-.39, P=.02), and total sleep(r=-.42, P=.00), as well as longest day sleep(r=-.50, P=.00). - The regularity of feeding was negatively correlated with the frequency of night sleep(r=-.35, P=.02), longest period of day sleep(r=-.32, P=.04), and longest period of night sleep(r=-.30. P=.04), whereas positively correlated with frequencies of daytime feeding (r=.29, P=.02) and nighttime feeding (r=.32, P=.05). - The frequency of night awakening was negatively correlated with amount of night sleep(r=-.39, P=.02) and frequency of daytime feeding(r=-.42, P=.01) while positively correlated with frequencies of nighttime feeding(r=.68, P=.00) and total feeding(r=.50, P=.00). 4. Although there was no statistical significant difference between sleep pattern and infant's age, following tendency was noted: - As baby gets older, total amount of sleep and longest period of day sleep decreased while longest period of night sleep increased. - As baby gets older, the regularity of day sleep decreased while the regularity of night sleep and total sleep slightly increased. - The frequencies of daytime and total feedings increased while the frequency of nighttime feeding decreased. In conclusion, the author found that the neonates of this study showed less amount of sleep, more night awakening, and more night time feedings than NCAST sample. There was a certain sleep/activity pattern existed: If babies were fed more frequently, daytime or nighttime sleeping hours became shorter, and if babies had longer daytime sleep, frequent nighttime awakenings were noted. This pattern illustrated the significant influence of feeding and sleep periods on each other. Awakening in the night is natural and normal patterns in the newborn period. The result of this study will provide information to parents about what to expect their infants.

Ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency is well known as the most common inherited disorder of the urea cycle, and 1 of the most common causes of hyperammonemia in newborns. We experienced a case of a 3-day-old boy with OTC deficiency who appeared healthy in the first 2 days of life but developed lethargy and seizure soon afterwards. His serum ammonia level was measured as > $1,700{\mu}g/dL$ (range, 0 to $45{\mu}g/dL$). Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in the mode of continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration was immediately applied to correct the raised ammonia level. No seizure occurred after the elevated ammonia level was reduced. Therefore, CRRT should be included as 1 of the treatment modalities for newborns with inborn errors of metabolism, especially hyperammonemia. Here, we report 1 case of successful treatment of hyperammonemia by CRRT in a neonate with OTC deficiency.
