Changes of Lipid and Lipoprotein Compositions in Kawasaki Disease and its Impact on Cardiac Complications
Sin Weon Yun, Ho Seok Lee, Dong Woon Kim, Kang Won Rhee, Young Soo Jung
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2005;48(12):1370-1377.   Published online December 15, 2005
Purpose : Delineation of serum lipid and lipoprotein values in children after Kawasaki disease(KD) is important because of the predilection of this disease for the coronary arteries. Methods : The KD group was composed of 51 patients who were hospitalized from Jan. 2002 to Dec. 2003. Control was 25 patients with non-KD febrile illness. The levels of total lipid, phospholipid,...
Alteration of Biochemical Profiles after High-Dose Intravenous Immunoglobulin Administration in Kawasaki Disease
Ji-Won Lee, Kyung-Yil Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2003;46(8):817-820.   Published online August 15, 2003
Purpose : Intravenous immunoglobulin(IVIG) has been used as an immunomodulatory treatment for several immune-mediated diseases. The early effect of high-dose IVIG on biochemical profiles including lipids and proteins was evaluated in patients with Kawasaki disease(KD). Methods : Twelve children with KD(nine boys) were treated with IVIG of 2 g/kg over 12 hours. Serial sera were collected from the patients four times...
Serum Total Cholesterol and HDL Levels in Healthy Korean School Children: Do They Correlate with Obesity?
Jae Geon Sim, Mi Za Chun, Moses Whang
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1994;37(11):1579-1585.   Published online November 15, 1994
Purpose : The cut-off value for hypercholesterolemia and normal HDL levels for Korean children are still not established despite increasing hypercholesterolemia with recent socioeconomic change. One of the aims of this study its to screen the serum total cholesterol and HDL levels in normal Korean school children, and another is to evaluate the relationships between serum lipid levels and obesity. Methods...
A Study on Evolution of Lipoportein(a) in Newborns
Keun Haeng Cho, Young Sook Hong, Soo Won Lee, Soon Kyum Kim, Young Chang Tockgo, Han Kyeom Kim

Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is considered an additional, independent and largely genetically determined risk factor for the development of premature coronary heart disease. Furthermore abnormal plasma lipoprotein patterns have been associated with increased risk for developing coronary heart disease. Among these lipoproteins, an increased concentration of serum Apo B and decreased level of Apo A are considered as major risk factors, together...
HDL Cholesterol, Copper, Ceruloplasmin, Zinc, Iron Values of the Blood in Newborn
Kyeong Sang Kim, Chun Hang Lee, Hong Jin Lee, Won Ill Park, Kyung Ja Lee, Tae Hyon Yoon, Won Chan Tae
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1992;35(8):1096-1101.   Published online August 15, 1992
HDL choleaterol, copper, ceruloplasmin, zinc, and iron values of the blood of 85 newborns delivered at hallym University hospital from September, 1989 to February, 1991 were analysed. The results were as follows: 1) The mean value of HDL cholesterol in 50 normal newborns was 31.37¡¾9.47mg/dl, that of copper 80.54¡¾17.54ug/dl, that of ceruloplasmin 11.34¡¾6.37mg/dl, that of zinc 92.81¡¾79.74ug/dl, that of iron 198.98¡¾86.07 ug/dl. 2)...
Lipid Composition of Serum HDL and Fatty Acid Composition of Serum Cholesteryl Esters in Newborn.
Jung Hee Kim, Dong Wook Kim, Dae Deok Ahn, Jung Kwon Lee, Yoon Ja Kim, Jung Chull Kim, Tai Ho Chung
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1985;28(12):1190-1195.   Published online December 31, 1985
Lipid consumption in early life has been implicated with atherosclerosis in later life. It has been also claimed that lipids contents of serum in early life would reflect coronary atherosclerosis in later life. Present study has undertaken to look for the composition of serum HDL and fatty acid composition of serum cholesteryl esters in newborns. Levels of high density lipoprotein...
A study on Serum Vitamin E and HDL-Cholesterol Level in Mother and Newborn.
Jae Keun Yoon, Chul Wun Park, Hye Jin Suh, Im Ju Kang, Chung Chul Kim, Tae Ho Chung
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1984;27(1):25-32.   Published online January 31, 1984
A significant redistribution of cholesterol in lipoproteins following ingestion of large doses of vitamin E is documented. Especially vitamin E has been reported to increase serum high density lipoprotein(HDL) cholesterol. The inverse relationship between HDL-cholesterol and risk of develoing coronary disease was well known. Present study was undertaken to determine whether the corelation between vitamin E and HDL-cholesterol was significant in...
Lipoprotein Profiles in Minimal Change Nephrotic Syndrome.
Yong Choi, Heui Jeen Kim, Hae Il Cheong, Jeong Kee Seo, Kwang Wook Ko
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1983;26(3):237-246.   Published online March 31, 1983
Data obtained from 59 hospitalized patients with minimal change nephrotic syndrome which was confirmed by kidney biopsy, were analyzed for serum albumin, serum lipids, 24hr urine protein, creatinine clearanee, HDL-eholesterol. In 38 of the patients, lipoproteins were analyzed. The following results were obained 1. Serum phospolipid (PL) was increased whenever serum total cholesterol (TC) was increased but to a lesser degree. The ratio of TC/PL were...
