Cha Gon Lee, Ji Hye Kim, Munhyang Lee, Jeehun Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2014;57(6):264-270.   Published online June 30, 2014
Purpose

Acute necrotizing encephalopathy (ANE) is a fulminant disease of the brain characterized by bilateral thalamic lesions, and is prevalent among children in East Asia. The prognosis of ANE is usually poor with a high mortality rate and neurological sequelae. This study aimed to delineate the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of ANE.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 399 pediatric patients...

The use of ketogenic diet in special situations: expanding use in intractable epilepsy and other neurologic disorders
Munhyang Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2012;55(9):316-321.   Published online September 14, 2012

The ketogenic diet has been widely used and proved to be effective for intractable epilepsy. Although the mechanisms underlying its anti-epileptic effects remain to be proven, there are increasing experimental evidences for its neuroprotective effects along with many researches about expanding use of the diet in other neurologic disorders. The first success was reported in glucose transporter type 1 deficiency...

Clinical characteristics of congenital myotonic dystrophy diagnosed by molecular genetic method
Sook Hyun Nam, Young Bae Son, Bo Lyun Lee, Jeehun Lee, Chang-seok Ki, Munhyang Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2007;50(9):868-874.   Published online September 15, 2007
Purpose : We performed this study to investigate the perinatal and developmental features of the patients with congenital myotonic dystrophy (CDM) confirmed by the molecular genetic method and the clinical characteristics of their mother, and to identify the relation between the number of CTG repeats and the clinical severity. Methods : A retrospective review of the medical records and the results...
Single Cell Dissociation Methods for Flow Cytometric Cell Death Analysis of Hypoxia-Ischemia Injured Newborn Rat Pup Brain
Jong Hee Hwang, Dong Kyung Sung, Chang Won Choi, Saem Kang, Yun Sil Chang, Won Soon Park, Munhyang Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2005;48(5):545-550.   Published online May 15, 2005
Purpose : Newborn brain tissue has to be dissociated into a single cell suspension for flow cytometric analysis of cell death during hypoxia-ischemia. Thus the development of a method to dissociate cells from the brain tissue with least damage and maintenance of membrane and antigen integrity remains the challenge for the in vivo application of this technique. We evaluated the...

So Hee Chung, Nam Seon Beck, Munhyang Lee, Sang Il Lee, Heung Jae Lee, Jung Yun Choe, Hyun Suk Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1999;42(1):60-68.   Published online January 15, 1999
Purpose : In children, dysphagia is a common cause of recurrent pneumonia and malnutrition and can be fatal. However, till now no studies were performed concerning the clinical investigation of dysphagia in Korea. Methods : In this study we evaluated the clinical manifestations of dysphagia in children with an age range between 1 month and 12 years by reviewing the...
Delayed Cerebral Energy Failure After Acute Hypoxia-Ischemia in Neworn Piglet Under 48hours of Continuous Monitoring Using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy
Yun Sil Chang, Won Soon Park, Munhyang Lee, Ki-Soo Kim, Jung-Hwan Choi, Son Moon Shin
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(9):1198-1210.   Published online September 15, 1998
Purpose : To test the hemodynamic and biochemical sequences of secondary cerebral energy failure after acute reversed hypoxic ischemic brain insult(HI) can be reproduced in newborn piglets. Methods : Fifteen anesthetized, ventilated newborn piglet(<3 day) were studied. Eight(HI) were induced transient HI by breathing 8% oxygen and complete occlusion of bilateral common carotid arteries for 30 minutes followed by reoxygenation...

A Case of Congenital Insensitivity to Pain with Anhidrosis
Munhyang Lee, Nam Seon Beck, Dongkyu Jin, Yeon-Lim Suh
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1997;40(11):1621-1626.   Published online November 15, 1997
Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosies (CIPA) is one of the exceedingly rare hereditary sensory autonomic neuropathies (HSAN). There are five types of HSAN according to hereditary transmission, natural history, clinical manifestations, and pathologic findings. The CIPA corresponds to type IV and is characterized by episodes of recurrent fever with generalized anhidrosis, insensitivity to pain and temperature with self-multilation, and mental retardation. We report a 14...

Constipation in Children-Colonic Transit Time and the Barr-Score
Nam-Seon Beck, I Sok Kang, Dong Kyu Jin, Munhyang Lee, Sang Il Lee, Heung Jae Lee, Bokyung Kim, Tae Sung Park
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1997;40(10):1427-1434.   Published online October 15, 1997
Purpose : We have assessed the clinical usefulness of solid maker transit technique and Barr-score in 31 patients with idiopathic constipation (male:female; 17:14, mean age; 6.7 years, range 1.4-12 years). Methods : All patients underwent full history taking and physical examination including rectal examination. On first visit to gastroenterology clinic a plain abdominal film was taken for Barr-score which evaluated by two observers without the...
