Bong Keun Choi, Kyu Geun Hwang, Hae Rahn Bae
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2004;47(9):992-1001.   Published online September 15, 2004
Purpose : To determine whether febrile seizure enhances neuroexcitability by altering synaptic transmission and whether febrile seizure-induced hyperexcitability leads to long-lasting neuronal death. Methods : We investigated the expression of synaptic and postsynaptic proteins and the apoptosis of neuronal cells in rat pup hippocampus after hyperthermic seizure using immunoblotting and confocal microscopy. Results : Hyperthermic seizure enhanced the long-term expressions of...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1997;40(3):361-367.   Published online March 15, 1997
Purpose : We conducted randomized study to determine whether high doses(6mg/kg/ day) of iron would exert a more supplemental effect than low doses(3mg/kg/day), and which regimen of recombinant human erythropoietin(rHuEPO) and iron would be more beneficial in the prophylactic treatment of anemia of prematurity. Methods : We randomly assigned 38 sick premature infants who were more likely than symptom-free premature infants requiring erythrocyte transfusions for...
A Study on Blood Lead Levels in Pediatric Inpatients
Young Ho Lee, Hyoung Shim Chang, Bong Keun Choi, Kyu Geun Hwang, Ahn Hong Choi
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1994;37(8):1111-1115.   Published online August 15, 1994
Lead is one of the most widespredad environmental toxins and its poisoning in children was considered a rarity, usually resulting from unique circumstances such as inappropriate use of lead-based body cosmetics or direct administration of lead-containing folk medicines. The increasing concern about children with lower levels of lead exposure has developed, but there are no data regarding the mean blood...
