Angiomatosis [ or Diffuse Hemangima] is a rare condition in which large segments of the body are involved by proliferating vessels. By now, some authers say that this lesion begins during early intrauterine life when the limb buds form, grow proportionately with the fetus, and consequently affect large areas of the trunk or extremity. The majority of angiomatoses present during childhood or infancy as swelling, induration, or discoloration of the affected area. The patient was 13 year old male and had no specific signs and symptoms except palpable mass on the left lateral chest wall from childhood and a painful tender mass on the posterior chest wall for 5 days before admission. The chest PA showed no abnormalities.The operation was done with the resection of left 10th rib and 9th and 10th intercostal muscles including masses and the ligation of the both intercostal and feeding vessels of the masses. The pathologic result was angiomatosis involving intercostal muscles and rib.

Since the advent of growth hormone(GH), children with a wide variety of growth disorders have received GH treatment. In GH deficiency(GHD), Turner syndrome, chronic renal failure, children born small for gestational age, Prader-Willi syndrome, and idiopathic short stature, the therapeutic effects and safety profile of GH are reviewed. GH therapy has been clearly shown to improve height velocity and final adult height in a variety of pediatric conditions in which growth is compromised irrespective of GHD. Early initiation and individualization of GH treatment has the potential to normalize childhood growth. The supra-physiological doses of GH have been shown to increase height velocity during childhood and final height in non-GHD conditions. Adverse events during GH therapy are uncommon and often not drug related. However continued surveillance into adult life is crucial, especially in children receiving supra-physiological doses or whose underlying condition increases their risk of adverse effects.

본 연구는 인성교육의 중요성이 강조되고 있음에도 불구하고 여전히 인성교육에 대한 영유아교사의 인식이 부족하고, 본질적으로 인성교육이 가야할 운영방향에 대한 내용 분석은 거의 수행되지 않았다. 이에 다시 한번 조사 연구를 통해 인성교육에 대한 영유아교사들의 의견을 수렴하고자 하였다. 조사대상으로는 S시의 어린이집에 근무하는 교사 208명을 대상으로 설문조사하였으며, SPSS 18.0 프로그램을 활용하였다. 이에 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 인성교육에 대한 영유아교사의 인식에서는 인성교육에 대해 많은 관심이 있었으며, 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 인성교육을 강조하는 이유는 "개인이기주의"이며, 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 '부모의 가치관", 도움을 주는 요인은 "전인적 인간발달과 건강증진", 인성교육의 내용에서는 내적내용은 "용기", 외적내용은 "예절"인 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 인성교육에 대한 영유아교사의 실태에서는 과반수 이상이 인성교육을 시행하고 있었으며, 그에 따른 교수자료로는 "인성교육 관련 자료", 교수-학습방법은 "이야기나누기", 횟수는 "주 1회", 소요시간은 "30분 이내", 주체자는 "담임교사", 어려운 점으로는 "학부모의 비협조적"인 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 인성교육에 대한 영유아교사의 요구에서는 가장 적합한 시기는 "영아기"부터이며, 지도방법은 "가정과의 연계하여 지도"해야 하며, 고려해야 할 사항으로는 "교사의 솔선수범"인 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 영유아에게 올바른 인성교육을 위해서는 발달수준에 맞는 다양한 프로그램이 제공되어야 하며, 더불어 이에 따른 교사교육이 먼저 시행되어야 할 것이다.

This research is intended to develop oral health education program that can improve quality of oral health of infants by investigating the actual condition of oral health education provided to students major in early childhood education and contents and method of oral health education that they needed. A questionnaire survey was conducted for 427 students enrolled in related departments such as the Early Childhood Education Division and the Early Childhood Education Department at five universities in Gyeongsangnam-do. Questionnaires consisted of general characteristics, awareness of oral health, presence of experience in oral health education, necessity of oral health education, preference for oral health education method, oral health education contents. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS(Statistical Package for the Social Science) Ver 20.0. 1. Presence of experience in oral health education based on the general characteristics showed statistically significant differences only concerning the 'school system' and the 'school year' (p<0.05), and subjective awareness of oral health based on the presence of oral health education experiences showed statistically significant differences concerning the 'interest in oral health' and the 'importance of oral health' (p<0.05). 2. Necessity of oral health education based on the subjective awareness of oral health showed statistically significant differences concerning the 'interest in oral health' and the 'importance of oral health' (p<0.05). 3. Necessity of oral health education based on the preference for oral health education method showed statistically significant differences concerning the 'intention to participate in oral health education' and the 'oral health education cycle' (p<0.05). 4. The most necessary information for oral health education is proper toothbrushing method 4.24, cause of tooth decay and prevention method 4.13, helpful food and poor food for tooth 3.97, toothbrush selection and storage method 3.85. Fluoride application and fissure sealant were lowest 3.38. As a result of this research, necessity of oral health education was large regardless of general characteristics, experience in oral health education, subjective awareness of oral health, and preference for oral health education. Also the more the 'interest in oral health' in 'subjective awareness of oral health', the more the 'necessity of oral health education' and 'intention to participate in oral health education'. Therefore it is necessary to develop systematic and repetitive oral health education for students major in early childhood education.

This study investigated how children rely on the mind of the speaker to infer unfamiliar words. Sixty 3 to 5-year-old children were interviewed individually with word inference and false belief tasks. Children's sensitivity to the speakers' intentions and prior experiences increased with age. Unexpectedly, their performance was not different with the condition of mind construct. Children's inferring word meanings were positively, but not significantly, correlated with understanding others' false beliefs.

Chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD) is a systemic disorder of mineral and bone metabolism caused by CKD. Patients with early-stage CKD who present with disordered regulation of bone and mineral metabolism may be asymptomatic. However, if untreated, the condition can be a significant barrier in achieving optimal bone strength, linear growth, and cardiovascular health in pediatric patients with CKD. Thus, the current study evaluated the definition, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of pediatric CKD-MBD.

Osteopontin (OPN) is a glycosylated phosphoprotein which mediates cell adhesion and migration, and is produced by bone, macrophages, endothelial cells, and epithelial cells. The many regulatory functions of OPN include bone remodeling, tumor invasion, wound repair, and promotion of cell survival. It is produced by renal tubular epithelial cells, and expression is upregulated in glomerulonephritis, hypertension, ischemic acute renal failure, renal ablation, and UUO. In this review, we discuss about osteopontin in general aspect, expression, role on the development and pathologic condition of neonatal kidney.

The purpose of this study was to build a substantive theory about the experience of the maternal uncertainty in childhood chronic illness. The qualitative research method used was grounded theory. The interviewees were 12 mothers who have cared for a child who had chronic illness. The data were collected through in-depth interviews with audiotape recording done by the investigator over a period of nine months. The data were analyzed simutaneously by a constant comparative method in which new data were continuously coded into categories and properties according to Strauss and Corbin's methodology. The 34 concepts were identified as a result of analyzing the grounded data. Ten categories emerged from the analysis. The categories were lack of clarity, unpredictability, unfamiliarity, negative change, anxiety, devotion normalization and burn-out. Causal conditions included : lack of clarity, unpredictability, unfamiliarity and change ; central phenomena : anxiety, being perplexed ; context. seriousness of illness, support ; intervening condition : belief action/interaction strategies devotion, overprotection ; consequences : normalization, burn-out. These categories were synthesized into the core concept-anxiety. The process of experiencing uncertainty was 1) Entering the world of uncertainty, 2) Struggling in the tunnel of uncertainty, 3) Reconstruction of the situation of uncertainty. Four hypotheses were derived from the analysis : (1) The higher the lack of clarity, unpredictability, unfamiliaity, change, the higher the level of uncertainty (2) The more serious the illness and the less the support, the higher the level of uncertainty. (3) The positive believes will influence the devoted care and normalization of the family life. Through this substantive theory, pediatric nurses can understand the process of experiencing maternal uncertainty in childhood chronic illness. Further research to build substantive theories to explain other uncertainties may contribute to a formal theory of how normalization is achieved in the family with chronically ill child.
