Woo Sup Shim, Jae Yeong Lee, Jin Yong Song, Soo Jin Kim, Sung Hye Kim, So Ick Jang, Eun Yong Choi
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2010;53(3):380-391.   Published online March 15, 2010
Purpose : Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is one of the main pathogens causing lower respiratory infections (LRI) in young children, usually of limited severity. However, in congenital heart disease (CHD) patients, one of the high-risk groups for RSV infection, RSV can cause serious illnesses and fatal results. To elucidate the effects of RSV infection in CHD patients, we observed RSV...

Jeong Mi Hong, Jae Young Lee, Soo Jin Kim, Gi Young Jang, Woo Sup Shim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2006;49(8):898-901.   Published online August 15, 2006
Constrictive pericarditis represents a rare cause of protein-losing enteropathy in children. Reported is an 11-year-old girl with protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) as the principal manifestations of constrictive pericarditis. After total pericardiectomy, symptoms and signs of PLE disappeared. Doppler echocardiography including tissue Doppler imaging is a useful noninvasive initial diagnostic tool for differential diagnosis of diastolic heart failure.

N-terminal Pro-B-type Natriuretic Peptide as a Predictive Risk Factor in Fontan Operation
Gi Young Jang, Jae Young Lee, Soo Jin Kim, Woo Sup Shim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2005;48(12):1362-1369.   Published online December 15, 2005
Purpose : This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the plasma level of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide(pro-BNP) and several known risk factors influencing outcomes after Fontan operations, and to assess whether pro-BNP levels can be used as predictive risk factors in Fontan operations. Methods : Plasma pro-BNP concentrations were measured in 35 patients with complex cardiac anomalies before catheterization....
The Use of Quadruple Blood Bags Transfusion of Low Birth Weight Neonates
Sang Hoon Lee, Jean Yoon, Yang Park, Sung Kyu Lee, Hee Chung Kim, Woo Sup Shim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1999;42(8):1122-1129.   Published online August 15, 1999
Purpose : Low-birth-weight(LBW) neonates often need multiple transfusions during their neonatal period. The routine use of the 500ml mono-bag system in Korea, even in neonatal transfusions, results in a great waste of blood and exposes the neonate to multiple blood donors. To reduce the waste of blood and the number of exposures, we used quadruple blood bags in the transfusion...

Woo Sup Shim, Yoon Taik Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1986;29(10):1087-1094.   Published online October 31, 1986
In 5,162 newborns who were born in National Medical Center during the period from January 1980 to December 1984, the authors investigated the early neonatal mortality within 7 days after birth and some factors associated with it. 1) The early neonatal mortailty rate within 7 days after birth was in average 17.4 and. there was no significant difference between male...
