Purpose : Nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB) is now recognized as playing a potential role in programmed cell death and the adaptive response to various stress. Cellular hypoxia is a primary manifestation of many cardiovascular diseases. It seems that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and insulin like growth factor-I(IGF-I) have a function as a protective molecule in the heart against several stress including...

Woo Suk Juhng, Myung Hee Han, Chan Uhng Joo
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(10):1417-1423.   Published online October 15, 1998

Associated...
A Case of Peripheral Pulmonary Artery Aneurysm without Pulmonary Hypertension
Kyeung Hee Moon, Woo Suk Juhng, Chan Uhng Joo
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1997;40(2):284-287.   Published online February 15, 1997
Aneurysm of the pulmonary artery is a rare entity. Aneurysm of the peripheral artery are even less common. An 14-year-old girl was admitted for the evaluation of cardiac murmur. There was a variable grade 2/6 systolic murmur along the left sternal border. The chest x-ray showed a round mass in the right perihilar region. Echocardiogram demonstrated a small muscular ventricular septal defect with mild...
