Sialoblastoma is a rare tumor of salivary gland origin, developing in the fetal or neonatal period. Most tumors arise in parotid gland, and rarely in submandibular gland. Because of its rare incidence, diagnosis of the sialoblastoma in head and neck tumors of children is not easy. The case of a congenital submandibular gland sialoblastoma is presented. A neonate was transferred right after birth due to a submandibular mass. CT scan showed a lobulating mass located posterior to the left submandibular gland, suggesting neurogenic tumor or myofibroma. The tumor was excised easily after division of a duct-like structure connecting with the submandibular gland. The microscopic findings showed the basaloid cells and ductules forming cellular nests, separated by thin fibrous tissue. Immunohistochemical staining was positive for cytokeratin, vimentin and Ki-67, which was consistent with sialoblastoma.

경막외기종은 자발기종격, 자발기흉, 천식 발작, 기침, 심한 구토, 외상 등에 의해 발생할 수 있지만 기관지 이물에 의한 경우는 드물고, 고환기종 역시 대장내시경, 진단적 복강경, 간생검 등에 의해 발생하는 경우가 보고되고 있지만, 기관지 이물에 의한 경우는 아직까지 국내 외에 보고된 적이 없다. 이에 본 저자들을 기관지 이물에 의해 심한 고환기종 및 경막외기종, 기종격, 기흉이 발생한 18개월된 남아에 대해 보고하는 바이다.

Purpose: Purpose of this study was to identify the effects on maternal role strain, maternal role confidence and maternal identity of a maternal role promotion program for mothers of premature infants. Method: A quasi-experimental non-equivalent pre-and-post test was used to compare the two groups. The data were collected from 62 mothers from September 10. 2003 to August 30, 2004 at Neonatal Intensive Care Unit(NICU) located in S. city and K. city. The maternal role promotion program was provided three times during the period from two-three days after the baby's admission to 1 month after the baby's discharge. The instruments for measurement were the Perceived Role Difficulty & Steffensmeier Scale, Self Confidence Scale and Semantic Differential Scale. Data were analyzed by means of frequency, mean and SD, $x^2$-test and t-test. Results: There were significant differences in maternal role strain level between the experimental and control group (t=2.163, p=.035), in the maternal role confidence between the two groups(t=-5.645, p=.000) and in maternal identity between the two groups(t=-4.923, p=.000). Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that the maternal role promotion program had positive effects in decreasing maternal role strain levels and increasing maternal role confidence and maternal identity.

$M\ddot{o}bius$ syndrome is a rare congenital condition, characterized by abducens and facial nerve palsy, resulting in limitation of lateral gaze movement and facial diplegia. However, to our knowledge, there have been few studies on evaluation of cranial nerves, on MR imaging in $M\ddot{o}bius$ syndrome. Herein, we describe a rare case of $M\ddot{o}bius$ syndrome representing limitation of lateral gaze, and weakness of facial expression, since the neonatal period. In this case, high-resolution MR imaging played a key role in diagnosing $M\ddot{o}bius$ syndrome, by direct visualization of corresponding cranial nerves abnormalities.

An important, albeit rare, cause of fetal bradycardia is long QT syndrome (LQTS). Congenital LQTS is an ion channelopathy caused by mutations in genes encoding cardiac ion channel proteins. Fetal onset of LQTS imposes high risk of life-threatening tachyarrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Here, we report the case of a female newborn with fetal onset of bradycardia and a 2:1 atrioventricular (AV) block. After birth, a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) revealed bradycardia with QT prolongation of a corrected QT (QTc) interval of 680 ms and pseudo 2:1 AV block. Genetic testing identified a heterozygous Gly402Ser (c.1204G>A) mutation in CACNA1C, confirming the diagnosis of LQTS type 8 (LQT8). The patient received propranolol at a daily dose of 2 mg/kg. Mexiletine was subsequently administered owing to the sustained prolongation of the QT interval and pseudo 2:1 AV block. One week after mexiletine inception, the ECG still showed QT interval prolongation (QTc, 632 ms), but no AV block was observed. There were no life-threatening tachyarrhythmias in a follow-up period of 13 months.

담도폐쇄증은 간외 담도의 진행성, 특발성, 섬유 폐쇄성 염증질환으로 신생아기에 담도 폐쇄가 나타나고 소아 간이식의 가장 흔한 적응증이다. 조기에 치료하지 않으면 간경화가 진행되어 2세 이전에 사망하게 된다. 오늘날 Kasai portoenterostomy와 간이식 수술기법의 발달로 담도폐쇄증 환자의 90% 이상이 성인기까지 생존한다. 따라서 Kasai portoenterostomy의 성공 가능성은 시간이 지날수록 줄어들기 때문에 조기 진단이 매우 중요하다. 이 고찰은 담도폐쇄증의 원인, 분류, 유병률, 임상양상, 치료와 예후를 최신 지견을 중심으로 종합적으로 검토하고자 한다.

통계청에서는 출생 및 사망 신고가 동시에 누락되는 영아사망 미신고분을 감안하여 기간 출생률 및 사망률, 생명표상의 기간 영아사망확률을 추정하여 왔다. 보건복지부의 93년 및 96년 출생 코호트 영아사망조사 결과가 발표됨에 따라 통계청이 1971년-1997년 영아사망확률을 재추정하였다. 자료원은 사망신고 자료, 보건복지부 조사. 선진국의 사망신고 자료, 모델생명표 및 일본생명표이었으며, 17가지 방법으로 시산하였다. 최종 방법은 1993년 보건복지부 조사의 사망확률과 사망신고 자료의 1∼4세 사망 확률 관계에 의존하여 1971-1991년 영아사망확률을 추정하였고, 93년은 93년 보건 복지부 조사의 영아사망확률을 사용하였으며, 95년과 97년에 대해서는 93년과 96년 보건복지부 조사에 나타난 영아사망확률 감소율을 적용하였다. 영아사망확률은 Coale-Demeny North Model 을 활용하여 영아사망률로 전환하였다. 통계청이 수집한 98년 화장장 자료로 영아사망 미신고를 보완하여 영아사망률을 추정해 본 결과 화장장 자료는 영아사망수준 추정을 위한 중요한 자료원이 될 뿐만 아니라 신생아사망을 크게 보완하고, 태아사망 및 주산기사망 통계 생산도 가능한 것으로 나타났다.

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of feeding direct-fed microbials (DFM) on the growth performance and prophylaxis of calf diarrhea during the pre-weaning period as an alternative to antibiotics. A multi-species DFM was formulated including three lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus salivarius Ls29, Pediococcus acidilactia Pa175, and L. plantarum Lp177), three Bacillus strains (B. subtilis T4, B. polymyxa T1 and SM2), one yeast, Saccharomyces boulardii, and a nonpathogenic E. coli Nissle 1917. Lactic acid bacteria and Bacillus strains were selected based on the antibacterial activity against various animal pathogens, especially pathogenic E. coli using agar diffusion methods in vitro. Test and control groups were fed milk replacer and calf starter supplemented with DFM ($10^9$ cfu each of eight species/d/head, n = 29) or with antibiotics (0.1% neomycin sulfate in milk replacer and Colistin 0.08% and Oxyneo 110/110 0.1% in calf starter, n = 15), respectively. Overall fecal score and the incidence rate of diarrhea were reduced in the DFM group compared to the antibiotics one. About 40% of calves in antibiotic group suffered from diarrhea while in DFM group only 14% showed diarrhea. There was no difference in the average daily gain and feed efficiency of two groups. The hematological levels of calves were all within the normal range with no significant difference. In conclusion, the feeding of multispecies DFM during the pre-weaning period could reduce calf diarrhea and there was no difference in the growth performance between the groups, thus showing the potential as an alternative to antibiotics.
