Tic disorder which is purposeless, repeated, unexpected, involuntary behavior and voice can be divided into motor, vocal tic. Tic disorder belongs to pediatic psychosomatic disease. In four clinical cases, patients between the age of 6 to 15 consisted of three males and one females. They all are the eldest or only son and have the parental behavioral, home background and studing problem. The patients appealed to eye blinking in tic early stage and belong to chronic motor or vocal tic disorder or transient tic disorder without tourette's disorder. When estimated by an appraisal standard of Yale Global Tic Severity Scale(YGTSS). Four patients administered Bosimgeunatang known to invigorating the heart, relieving mental stress improved.

Objectives: According to the 10th revision of the International Classification of Diseases, the main categories of tic disorders (F95.0, F95.1, and F95.2) follow a diagnostic hierarchy based on the duration and diversity of tic symptoms. The present study investigated the use of this diagnostic hierarchy in real-world clinical practice. Methods: Based on the National Health Insurance Service-National Health Information Database, the diagnosis of transient tic disorder (F95.0) made after a diagnosis of chronic motor or vocal tic disorder (F95.1) or Tourette's syndrome (F95.2) and diagnosis of chronic motor or vocal tic disorder (F95.1) made after a diagnosis of Tourette's syndrome (F95.2) were referred to as type A errors. The diagnosis of transient tic disorder (F95.0) repeated after a period of >12 months was referred to as type B error. Demographic and clinical differences according to the diagnostic error types were analyzed using analysis of variance, Student's t-tests, and chi-squared tests. Results: Most participants (96.5%) were without errors in the diagnosis of tic disorders. Higher proportions of males (p=0.005) and antipsychotic prescriptions (p<0.001) were observed in patients with type A or B diagnostic errors. A higher proportion of health insurance holders was observed among those with type A errors (p=0.027). Conclusion: Errors were absent in majority of the tic diagnoses in real-world clinical practice in terms of the diagnostic hierarchy.

Objectives : In this study, patients with tic disorders who visited an Oriental medicine clinic were examined for their demographic characteristics, characteristics of symptoms, relation to Attention-deficit Hyperactivity Disorder(ADHD) and peculiarity according to various variables such as motor and vocal tics. Methods : After surveying 292 patients who visited an Oriental medicine clinic with tic symptoms as main complaints for 17 months, SAS 9.1, a statistical program was used for statistical analysis. Results : 1. The BMI of male tic patients was significantly higher than female ones and it was similar to or higher than the normal group. 2. Patients who are eldest children were 1.7 times higher than those who are not eldest ones. 3. The most usual case of motor tics was the eye blink and the most one of vocal tics was a dry cough. 4. There was no significant difference between male and female patients for all symptoms of motor and vocal tics, but male patients had significantly more obsessions related to tics than female ones. 5. There was no significant difference in the age of initial occurrence of Transient tic disorder(TTD), Chronic tic disoder(CTD) and Tourette's disorder(TD). 6. For the general disorder of a tic and Conners' ADHD rating scale, there was no significance in TTD, CTD and TD. 7. 66% out of the total subjects of 197 cases were found to score more than 65 points in more than 1 items among 8 items such as the time, hearing, wrong alarm, mean response time and standard deviation in the response time, etc. of the ADHD diagnosis system(ADS). 8. The eye blink among motor tics was shown mainly by patients under 10 years old and the frown, movement of the head, shrug and movement of the arms were shown mainly by 11-19 years old patients. Conclusions : For the number, frequency, seriousness and inconvenience in life of tics, TD showed a significantly higher result than TTD and CTD.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to report test results in eight tic disorder children using Sensitiv $Imago^{TM}$. Methods Eight tic disorder children were tested using Sensitiv $Imago^{TM}$. Also, they were diagnosed with tic disorders by DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, $4^{th}$ edition) and we evaluated tic disorder cases by Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS). Results In 8 cases, 1 case was transient tic disorder, 3 cases were Tourette's disorder and 4 cases were unspecified tic disorder. In the result of Sensitiv $Imago^{TM}$, 4 cases showed the lowest score at filter ${\sharp}5^*$ and 4 cases showed the lowest score at filter ${\sharp}6^*$ in [Express Monitoring] of [Review of System Disorders of Homeostasis]. Filter #5 includes urogenital organs, liver, gallbladder, kidneys, urinary bladder and ureter and Filter #6 stands for organs of immune and respiratory systems. Conclusion We report test results in eight tic disorder children using Sensitiv $Imago^{TM}$. Further studies about the principle, repeatability, reproducibility of Sensitiv $Imago^{TM}$ are needed.

연구목적：본 연구는 일과성 틱 장애(Transient tic disorder：TTD), 만성 틱 장애(chronic tic disoder：CTD), 뚜렛 장애(Tourette's disorder：TD) 아동의 임상 양상을 비교하고, 틱 장애의 질환 심각도와 연관된 변인을 알아보기 위해 시행되었다. 방 법：DSM-Ⅳ 진단분류에 따라 틱 장애로 진단된 69명의 아동과 대조군 43명을 대상으로 인구학적 변인 및 틱과 관련된 임상적 변인을 조사하였다. 틱 증상의 심각도를 알아보기 위해 예일 틱 증상 평가 척도(Yale Global Tic Severity Scale)을 시행하였으며 연구 대상 모두에게 동반된 정서/행동 문제를 평가하기 위해 아동 행동조사표(Child Behavior Checklist)를 시행하였다. 결 과：TTD군은 CTD 및 TD군과 비교할 때 틱 증상의 지속 기간이 짧을 뿐 아니라 틱 증상의 심각도와 장해 정도도 미약하였다. TTD군의 동반된 정서/행동 문제 역시 CTD, TD군에 비해 유의하게 적었으며 공격성 소척도 점수를 제외하고는 정상대조군과 차이가 없었다. CTD군과 TD군간에는 틱 증상의 종류, 개수와 CBCL의 사회성 문제 소척도 점수외에는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 나타내는 변인이 없었다. 틱 증상으로 인한 장해 정도를 가장 잘 예측해 주는 변인은 운동틱의 강도와 방해도, 틱 증상의 지속기간이었으며, CBCL 총 문제행동 점수와 가장 높은 연관성이 있는 변인은 주의력결핍/과잉운동장애(Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder：ADHD)의 존재여부였다. 결 론：본 연구의 결과는 틱 증상의 심각도 외에 증상의 지속 기간이 틱 장애 아동들의 틱으로 인한 장해도에 큰 영향을 미치며, 동반된 ADHD의 존재가 이들의 임상상을 결정하는 데 있어 중요한 역할을 한다는 점을 시사한다. 또한 위와 같은 임상 변인들이 틱 장애의 진단적 분류보다도 틱 장애 아동의 질환 심각도를 판단하고 치료방침을 결정하는데 있어 더욱 중요함을 시사한다.

틱장애 아동들의 생화학적인 원인을 규명하고, 동반 질환과의 관계를 규명하기 위하여 87명의 틱장애 아동과 30명이 대조군을 대상으로 하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다 87명 중 45명은 Tourette씨병(TS)이었고, 22명은 만성틱장애(chronic motor tic disorder, CMT), 20명은 일과성틱장애(transient tic disorder, TTD)이었다. 공존질병에 따른 분류로는 순수한 틱군(PT)은 43명, 틱과 주의력결핍 과잉운동장애(attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, T+ADHD)가 동반된 군이 28명, 틱과 강박장애(obsessive compulsive disorder, T+OCD)가 동반된 군이 16명이었다. 이들 대상군과 대조군에 대하여 혈장 5- HT(5-hydroxytryptamine)와 5-HIAA(5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid)를 측정하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) 혈장내 5-HT함량과 5-HTAA함량 간에는 통계적으로 의미있는 상관성이 관찰되었다(Pearson correlation coefficient, 0.77, p<0.05). 2) 대상군에서 연령과 5-HT또는 연령과 5-HIAA함량과는 통계적으로 의미있는 상관성이 관찰되지 않았다. 3) 대조군에서 연령과 5-HT또는 연령과 5-HIAA함량과는 통계적으로 의미있는 상관성이 관찰되지 않았다. 4) 혈장 내의 5-HT함량은 TS, CMT, TTD그리고 대조군간에 통계적으로 의미있는 차이가 관찰되었으며 (F=34.48, df=3.113. p<0.01), 사후검증에서는 대조군과 TS군, 대조군과 CMT군, 대조군과TTD군간에는 의미있는 차이가 관찰되었으나, TS군과 CMT군 TS군과 TTD군, 그리고 TTD군과CMT군 간에는 의미있는 차이가 없었다. 5) 혈장 내의 5-HIAA함량은 TS군, CMT군, TTD군 그리고 대조군 간에 통계적으로 의미있는 차이가 관찰되었으며(F=26.48, df=3,113, p<0.01), 사후검증에서는 대조군과 TS군, 대조군과 CMT군, 대조군과 TTD군 간에는 의미있는 차이가 관찰되었으나. TS군과 CMT군 TS군과 TTD군, 그리고 TTD군과 CMT군 간에는 의미있는 차이가 없었다. 6) 공존질병의 생화학적 소견에 미치는 영향에 대하여는 혈장 내의 5-HT와 5-HIAA함량은 PT군, T+ADHD군, T+OCD군 그리고 대조군간에 통계적으로 의미있는 차이가 관찰되었으며 (5-HT, F=37.59, df=3, 113, p<0.01, 5-HIAA, F=27.37, df=3, 113, p<0.01), 사후검증에서는 대조군과 PT군. 대조군과 T+ADHD군, 대조군과 T+OCD군간에는 통계적으로 의미있는 차이가 관찰되었으나, PT군과 T+ADHD군, PT군과 T+ADHD군, PT군과 T+OCD군, 그리고 T+ADHD군과 T+OCD군간에는 의미있는 차이가 관찰되지 않았다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 serotonin계의 개체발생적인 과정은 대상군과 대조군에서 차이가 없으나, serotonin계의 기능저하가 틱장애의 발병과 관련이 있다고 할 수 있으며, 공존질병이 생화학적인 소견에 미치는 영향은 극미하다고 할 수 있다. 향후의 연구에 있어서는 틱장애에 대하여 serotonin계의 기능항진을 일으키는 약물 투여의 효과에 대한 연구가 시행되어야 하며 분자생물학적인 방법을 사용하여 그 기전을 규명하여야 한다.
