Clin Exp Pediatr. 2007;50(10):995-1004.   Published online October 15, 2007
Purpose : Kawasaki disease is a systemic vasculitis, leading cause of pediatric acquired heart disease. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has functions as vascular permeability factor, plays an important role in coronary artery lesion (CAL). We studied the clinical significance of serum VEGF in Kawasaki disease. Methods : Kawasaki group was 49 patients, and control group was 15 patients. Diagnosis followed...
Changes of Lipid and Lipoprotein Compositions in Kawasaki Disease and its Impact on Cardiac Complications
Sin Weon Yun, Ho Seok Lee, Dong Woon Kim, Kang Won Rhee, Young Soo Jung
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2005;48(12):1370-1377.   Published online December 15, 2005
Purpose : Delineation of serum lipid and lipoprotein values in children after Kawasaki disease(KD) is important because of the predilection of this disease for the coronary arteries. Methods : The KD group was composed of 51 patients who were hospitalized from Jan. 2002 to Dec. 2003. Control was 25 patients with non-KD febrile illness. The levels of total lipid, phospholipid,...

Comparison of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Efficacy between Ultrasound Guided Hydrostatic Saline Reduction and Fluoroscopic Barium Reduction in Children with Intussusception
Chi Hyung Park, Ho Seok Lee, Chong Woo Bae, Sa Jun Chung, Young Mook Choi, Sun Wha Lee, Yup Yun
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1995;38(12):1664-1670.   Published online December 15, 1995
Purpose : Several studies recently have emphasized the value of sonography as an new therapeutic method for hydrostatic reduction of intussusception by using a saline enema under ultrasound guidance. The purpose of this study was to asses the diagnostic screening efficacy of sonography in suspected childhood intussusception and the value of ultrasound guidance in hydrostatic reduction performed with saline enema. Methods...
