Jung Mi Kim, Young Mi Kim, Soon Hak Kwon
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2006;49(10):1086-1092.   Published online October 15, 2006
Purpose : Refractory status epilepticus(RSE) is a serious neurological emergency in children. The mortality is high and the neurological outcome is not good. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical significance of cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) pleocytosis in refractory status epilepticus in children. Methods : From January 1999 to January 2006, 25 out of 37 children with refractory status epilepticus had...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2006;49(2):208-211.   Published online February 15, 2006
Dyke-Davidoff-Masson Syndrome (DDMS) is a rare condition characterized by asymmetry of cerebral hemispheric growth with atrophy on one side, ipsilateral compensatory osseous hypertrophy, and contralateral hemiparesis. We experienced a 17 month-old male who presented with left focal clonic or tonic-clonic seizures accompanied by left hemiparesis and developmental delay. Brain MRIs demonstrated progressive atrophy of the right cerebral hemisphere with dilatation...

Hyun Hee Oh, You Cheol Jang, Byung Ho Choe, Il Hyung Park, Soon Hak Kwon
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2004;47(9):965-969.   Published online September 15, 2004
Purpose : Chronic administration of anticonvulsants for children with epilepsy may cause multiple abnormalities in bone metabolism. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of anticonvulsants on bone mineral density(BMD) in children with epilepsy. Methods : Seventy patients with epilepsy were enrolled in this study. All subjects had taken anticonvulsants for at least 1 year or more....

Noninvasive Estimation of Pulmonary Artery Pressure with Doppler Echocardiogrphy.
Ji Yean Lee, Soon Hak Kwon, Sang Bum Lee, Doo Hong Ahn
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1989;32(1):20-26.   Published online January 31, 1989
This study determined the accuracy of Doppler echocardiography for predicting the pulmonary artery pressure from right ventricular systolic time intervals in 25 pediatric patients with various congenital cardiovascular diseases undergoing cardiac catheterization. Either estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) using Burstin nomogram and pulmo- nary artery diastolic pressure (PADP) using Riggs equation (PADP= 151· RPEP / RVET ·20.7) correlated well with the pressures at...
Diagnostic Significance of Free Fatty Acid, Lipase and beta-Glucuronidase in Breast Milk Jaunce.
Kyoung Ok Lee, Soon Hak Kwon, Haeng Mi Kim, Doo Hong Ahn
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1988;31(5):559-565.   Published online May 31, 1988
Free fatty acids, lipase activy and β-glucuronidase activity were measured in samples of breast milk collected from mothers of infants with and without breast milk jaundice. The free fatty acids, lipase and β-glucuronidase values in the breast milk from mothers with jaundiced infants were 7.5 ±6.5 mM/L, 5.3 ±3.2 mM/min/ml and 14.6 ±9.6 nM/min/ml respectively. In the group of mothers of infants without jaundice,...
