를 창간하시고 발전시켜오신 학계 선배님들의 노고에 감사드리고 미래의 새로운 도약을 준비하고자 한다. 이에 그동안의 국문 학술 지 역사를 간단하게 소개하고자 한다. ‘천식 및 알레르기’와 ‘소아 알레르기 호흡기학회지’는 그동안 이름의 변천과 함께 표지 디자인 도 점점 세련된 모습으로 변화하여 발간되어 왔었다(Fig. 1). ‘소아알레르기 호흡기학회지’는 지난 1987년 4월 17일에 ‘대한 소아알레르기 연구회(e Korean Society of Pediatric Allergy)’가 발족한 이후 4년만인 1991년 4월 13일에 ‘소아알레르기(Reviews in Pediatric Allergy)’라는 이름으로 창간되었다. 1991년 1권 1호에는 1991년 춘계학술대회 및 심포지움과 관련된 토론, 특별강연, 발표 연제 등이 실렸고, 1987년–1990년의 소아알레르기 심포지움에 관 한 내용도 포함되어 있다. 1992년에 제2권 1호가 발간되었던 ‘소아 알레르기’는 1993년 제3권 1호부터 ‘소아알레르기 및 호흡기학회지 (e Korean Academy of Pediatric Allergy and Respiratory Journal)’로 학술지명을 변경하여 2005년까지 발간되었다. 2006년부터 는 현재의 ‘소아알레르기 호흡기학회지(Pediatric Allergy and Respiratory Disease)’라는 명칭으로 변경되었고 이후 2012년 제22권 4호까지 발간되었다. ‘소아알레르기 호흡기학회지’의 창간 당시 발행인은 손근찬 회장 님, 편집인은 이상일 학술이사이었으며, 1993년 이후에는 학회의 간행이사인 손병관, 윤혜선, 편복양, 나영호, 오재원, 안강모 등이

Fat embolism syndrome is a serious complication that can occur after trauma or operation of the limbs. Clinical criteria are used for the diagnosis of fat embolism syndrome and sometimes radiologic findings are helpful. Fat embolism syndrome is known to occur less frequently in children than in adults, but there is an increased risk in children with connective tissue disease. However, there are only a few reported cases of fat embolism syndrome in juvenile rheumatoid arthritis which is the most common connective tissue disease in children. We report a case of fat embolism syndrome diagnosed in a 13-year-old boy with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, which was treated with corticosteroid. (�������� ������ ������ ����(���������������

Purpose: Although methacholine PC20 helps clinicians to identify asthma, there are practical limitations in using methacholine PC20 to assess asthma control. We assessed the relationship between methacholine PC20 levels and asthma control status in child patients with atopic asthma. Methods: We enrolled 153 children of 8 to 15 years of age with atopic asthma and measured methacholine PC20 of these children when their asthma was controlled. We followed up these patients for more than 2 years with measurements of asthma control score, lung function, bronchodilator response (BDR), and fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO). Results: The geometric mean of methacholine PC20 in the study population was 2.81 mg/mL. Lower methacholine PC20 was found to be associated with lower lung function, higher rate of BDR greater than 12%, higher level of BDR, higher rate of FeNO levels greater than 23 ppb, higher FeNO, higher numbers of asthma aggravation per year, and higher rate of asthma control test scores of 19 or less. Conclusion: These data provide evidences that the degree of methacholine PC20 is linked to disease severity in children with atopic asthma. Thus, regular and close monitoring of asthma control should be required for patients with lower levels of methacholine PC20. (�������� ������ ������ ����(���������������
