Correlation between Body Fat Percent Estimated by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis and Other Variable Methods
Hye Won Yom, Su Jung Kim, Il Tae Whang, Young Mi Hong
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2003;46(8):751-757.   Published online August 15, 2003
Purpose : Obesity is a significant health problem with medical and psychological consequences for children and adolescents. The purpose of this study was to assess the correlation between body fat percent using bioelectrical impedance(BI) and other variable methods. Methods : We measured height, weight, body mass index(BMI) and body fat percent by skinfold thickness(ST) and BI in 1,035(496 male; 539 female)...
Serogroup and Antimicrobial Resistance of Streptococcus pneumoniae Isolated from Oropharynx in Children Attending Day Care Center
Kyung Hyo Kim, Jong Eun Lee, Il Tae Whang, Kyung Ha Ryu, Young Mi Hong, Gyoung Hee Kim, Keun Lee, Eun-Suk Kang, Ki-Sook Hong
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2002;45(3):346-353.   Published online March 15, 2002
Purpose : Penicillin- and multidrug-resistant S. pneumoniae poses a serious threat to clinicians because the rate of resistance of S. pneumoniae to penicillin in Korea has surged up to the world's highest level. This study was performed to assess the carriage rate, serogroups and antimicrobial susceptibility of S. pneumoniae isolated from oropharynx in children. Methods : From March to July 1998,...
Body Composition by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis in Obese Children
Jong Eun Lee, Ki Won Par, Su Jin Cho, Il Tae Whang, Young Mi Hong
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2001;44(9):992-1001.   Published online September 15, 2001
Purpose : Body composition by bioelectrical impedance analysis(BIA) is a very useful method of analysing body composition in many diseases. BIA is a simple, rapid, non-invasive and reproducible technique. There was no comparative analysis between obese and healthy children. A comparative analysis between obese and healthy children is needed to assess the effect of excercise and other interventions in the management of childhood obesity....
Carriage and Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Haemophilus influenzae Isolated from Oropharynges of Children
Kyung Hyo Kim, Kyoung Ah Lim, Il Tae Whang, Young Mi Hong, Eun Sook Kang, Ki Sook Hong
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2001;44(5):509-516.   Published online May 15, 2001
Purpose : Haemophilus influenzae, one of the normal flora of the upper respiratory tract, can cause such infections as otitis, sinusitis, pneumonia, and meningitis in children. The oropharyngeal flora has therefore mainly been analyzed as a reservoir for pathogens. This study was performed to reveal the colonization rate of H. influenzae in the upper respiratory tract, their biotypes, their antimicrobial...
The Changes of Apoptosis and Viability in Stem Cells after Thawing with Lapse of the Time
Seun Joo Park, Sang Young Bae, Kyung Ha Ryu, Il Tae Whang, Kyung Hyo Kim, Young Mi Hong, Kyung Hee Kim, Keun Lee, Joo Young Seoh
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(12):1576-1582.   Published online December 15, 2000
Purpose : Thawed stem cells should be infused as early as possible because delay of infusion leads to decrease of cell viability and formation of DNA clumping. The procedure of 10% Dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO) removal and a long distance from the thawing location to the patient are the main causes of delay of infusion that results in the loss of cell...
Volumetric Quantitation of Pulmonary Regurgitation and Right Ventricular Function in Postoperative Tetralogy of Fallot by Echocardiography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Eun Young Park, Il Tae Whang, Young Mi Hong, Yong Sun Won, Yun Hyun Choi
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(11):1530-1537.   Published online November 15, 1998
Purpose : Despite improved surgical techniques, pulmonary regurgitation is a common postoperative sequelae in patients with tetralogy of Fallot. Pulmonary regurgitation may induce deterioration of right ventricular performance, right ventricular dilatation and ventricular arrhythmia. The evaluation of the clinical significance of pulmonary regurgitation in postoperative tetralogy of Fallot has been troublesome since there was no technique that could accurately quantitate...

A Case of Pulmonary Artery Sling
Mi Hee Oh, Il Tae Whang, Ghee Young Jung, Doo Bong Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1997;40(11):1611-1615.   Published online November 15, 1997
Pulmonary artery sling is a rare vascular anomaly in which the left pulmonary artery arises from the right pulmonary artery and then traverses between the esophagus and the trachea toward the hilum of the left lung. Despite the availability of a corrective operation, the mortality rate remains very high due to the high incidence of associated obstructive anomalies of tracheobronchial trees. We experienced a...

Comparative Study on the Allergy Skin Test and RAST in Allergic Patients
Il Tae Whang, Young Mi Hong, Gyoung Hee Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1994;37(12):1693-1700.   Published online December 15, 1994
The allegic skin test and RAST are used commonly to demonstrate the presence of skin sensitizing IgE antibody in the diagnosis of allergic disease. To evaluate the agreement rate and correlation between results of skin test and RAST (radioallergosorbent test) in allergic subject, 83 allergic childgood with positive skin test (bronchial asthma: 26, allergic rhinitis: 27, atopic dermatitis and urticaria: 6...

A Case of Congenital Dyserythropoietic Anemia
Il Tae Whang, Young Sook Ko, Kyeung Hee Kim, Gyeung In Lee, Han Ik Cho
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1992;35(4):539-544.   Published online April 15, 1992
Congenital dyserythropoietic anemia(CDA) is a rare disease characterized by ineffective erythropoiesis, specific cytopathology of the nucleated red cells in the bone marrow and secondary hemochromatosis. CDA is classified into 4 types on the basis of results of electron microscopic and serologic studies. We experienced a case of congenital dyserythropoietic anemia in a 5/12 year-old boy. Diagnosis was established by macrocytosis, anisopoikilocytosis in PB...
