Objectives The purpose of this study is to research on sleep habits of weak children groups using objective evaluation tools. Methods This study surveyed 108 children and adolescents of 4~10 years old who visited the department of Pediatrics of ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$ Korean Medicine Hospital from June 19th, 2015 to August 28th, 2015. Weak Children Questionnaire and CSHQ (The Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire) were used to research on sleep habits of children. We analyzed the data by using PASW Statistics 18.0 with independent t-test. Results CSHQ Score of Weak Children Group was significantly higher than CSHQ Score of Normal Children Group (p<0.05). CSHQ Score ($Mean{\pm}SD$) of Normal Children Group was $52.92{\pm}5.72$ and CSHQ Score ($Mean{\pm}SD$) of Weak Children Group was $56.23{\pm}5.66$. Conclusions Weak Children Group had more sleep habit problems than Normal Children Group.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between weak children and growth indices. Methods One hundred twenty-six of the first and the second grade elementary school students who didn't have to develop yet their secondary sexual characteristics answered the questionnaire. Their bone age and body composition were measured. Results 1. According to the Weak Children questionnaire analysis, respiratory problem was one of the biggest problems in the weak children group (35.7%), followed by digestive problems (23.0%), psycho-neurological problems (22.2%), neuromotor problems (9.5%), and urogenital problems (8.7%). 2. From the comparison between growth indices of weak children and that of normal children are as follows: 1) The group of children who had problem in their digestive system had lower growth indices than the normal average children group. The growth indices includes mean height, weight, total body water, protein mass, mineral mass, body fat, skeletal muscle mass, body fat percentage, body mass index (BMI), and basal metabolic rate (BMR). 2) The children who had urogenital weakness had lower mean height, RH (Recent Height), RH - MPH {Recent Height(%) - Mid-Parental Height(%)}, RUS (Radius, Ulna and Short bone) score, weight, protein mass, body fat, BMI, and visceral fat than the normal children group. 3. The results of the multiple comparisons of growth indices and weak children groups are as follows: 1) Digestive weak children were the lowest in total body water, protein mass, mineral mass, skeletal muscle mass, and basal metabolic rate. 2) Urogenital weak children were the lowest in height, RH, RH - MPH, RUS score, and weight. Conclusion These results showed that children's growth is strongly correlated to their own growth problems, especially to those children who have digestive and urogenital problems. Therefore, this may be an effective way for children growth treatment in Korean medicine to treat weak symptoms.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to evaluate the characteristics of autonomic nervous system in heart-weakened children via analyzing heart rate variability (HRV) compare to healthy children. Methods Among the children who have visited the department of pediatrics at OO oriental medicine hospital, the subjects were composed of 62 elementary school students without cardiac disorder, who have yet develop secondary sexual characteristics. Results 1. Mean HRT and SDNN of the heart-weakened group of children were lower than the healthy group, but with no statistical significance. 2. Heart-weakened children had higher LF norm and LF/HF ratio, but lower HF norm than healthy children. The rest of the Frequency Domain Index have no significant differences. 3. Heart-weak score showed a positive correlation with Mean HRT and LF/HF ratio. Conclusions Heart-weakened children had an imbalance in autonomic nervous system due to increase of sympathetic nerve activity and decrease of parasympathetic nerve activity.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to find the relationships between the allergy and weakness in children in Seong-Dong district. Methods 802 day care centers children were participated for survey on allergic disease, risk factors, and weakness. From the result, we analyzed the relationships between the aforementioned factors. Results 1. 802 children were participated for the survey. We eliminated survey answers with unclear answers, and selected 792 survey sheets as our final subject of study. The age of majority of subjects(720 children) were between one to six years old, and the others were under the age of one and over seven. 2. The prevalence rate of asthma in a lifetime was 6.69%, allergic rhinitis was 14.87%, atopic dermatitis was 28.82%, allergic conjunctivitis was 6.29%, food allergies was 9.58%, and drug allergies was 1.4%. In 2009, the prevalence rate of allergies during treatments is 6.69% for asthma, 13.41% for allergic rhinitis, 13.64% for atopic dermatitis, 4.13% for allergic conjunctivitis, 5.23% for food allergies, 0.96% for drug allergies. 3. The significant risk factors were types of dwelling, pet with fur, dirty environments without vacuum cleaners, the numbers of times bed covers were washed, frequency of air ventilation, changes in body after moving, family history. 4. The distribution of the number of children with weakness within the five visceras were respiratory weakness, digestive weakness, psychoneurologic weakness, neuromotor weakness, and urogenital weakness in the order of most to the least. More specifically, children who only has respiratory weakness were the majority, while children who have respiratory and digestive weaknesses, children who have respiratory, digestive, and psychoneurologic weaknesses, children who have respiratory and psychoneurologic were followed. 5. With the exception of children with urogenital weakness, Most of the children with respiratory weakness, digestive weakness, psychoneurologic weakness, and neuromotor weakness had been treated for allergies in 2009, while children who were diagnosed with allergic diseases at least once in their lifetime most likely had weak respiratory, digestive or psychoneurologic systems. Conclusions The results of this study showed that there was a correlation between children with weak viscera and children with allergic diseases. However, further research would be necessary.

목적 : ADHD아동의 감각자극에 대한 생리학적 반응특성은 감각자극의 종류, 측정도구, 그리고 반응으로 알아보고, 행동학적 특성은 측정도구, 빈도, 측정도구별로 공통된 문제 항목을 분석하여 ADHD아동의 감각자극에 대한 특성을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법 : 체계적 고찰방법을 사용하였다. 1990년 1월부터 2011년 12월 31일까지 학회지에 게재된 논문을 Riss4U, MEDLINE/PubMed, CINAH을 통해 검색하였다. 주요 검색어는 "ADHD, Children, Sensory processing, sensory integration, SP, SSP, SOR, TIE, CSP, SEP, EDR"으로 하였으며, 최종적으로 15개의 논문을 분석하였다. 결과 : 1. ADHD아동을 대상으로 감각자극에 대한 생리학적 반응에 관한 연구는 5개(33.33%)이고, 행동학적 반응에 관한 연구는 10개(66.67%)이며, 두 가지를 병행한 연구는 2개(13.33%)로 전체 15개(100%)논문을 분석하였다. 2. 생리학적 반응에 관한 연구 5개 중, 촉각과 고유 감각 자극을 사용한 연구는 3개, 후각, 청각, 시각, 촉각, 전정감각을 모두 사용한 연구는 2개였다. 3. 행동학적 특성에 관한 연구 10 중, SP는 5개, SSP는 3개, SOR은 2개, TIE는 1개, CSP는 1개이다. 4. ADHD아동의 감각자극에 대한 생리학적 반응특성은 일차감각피질의 손 영역에 있는 신경원세포의 활동전위에서 큰 반응을 보였다. 반응 시 초기에 큰 반응을 보였고 뒤로 갈수록 빠른 습관화를 보이는 것으로 나타났고, 회복 시에 많은 비 특이적 반응을 보였다. 5. 행동학적 반응특성은 부주의/산만, 전정감각처리, 지구력/근 긴장도 조절, 감정반응에 대한 감각입력 조절, 활력이 부족하고 허약함을 보이는 특성이 있었다. 결론 : ADHD아동의 감각자극에 대한 생리학적 반응 특성과 행동학적 특성을 아는 것은 ADHD아동의 감각조절 문제를 이해하는데 중요한 근거가 된다.
