Congenital muscular dystrophy type 1A with residual merosin expression
Hyo Jeong Kim, Young-Chul Choi, Hyung Jun Park, Young-Mock Lee, Heung Dong Kim, Joon Soo Lee, Hoon-Chul Kang
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2014;57(3):149-152.   Published online March 31, 2014

Congenital muscular dystrophy type 1A (MDC1A) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by hypotonia, elevated serum creatine kinase level, delayed motor milestones, white matter changes observed by brain magnetic resonance imaging, and normal intelligence. A mutation in the laminin α2 (LAMA2) gene, located at 6q22-23, is a genetic cause of MDC1A. Patients have merosin (laminin α2)-deficient skeletal muscles. However, the...

Analysis of disease mechanism of subacute necrotizing lymphadenitis in children
Hyun Jung Kim, Jung Suk Yeom, Ji Suk Park, Eun Sil Park, Ji Hyun Seo, Jae Young Lim, Chan Hoo Park, Hyang Ok Woo, Jae Min Cho, Jeong Hee Lee, Hee Shang Youn
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2008;51(11):1198-1204.   Published online November 15, 2008
Purpose : The cause of subacute necrotizing lymphadenitis, a rare disease in children, has not been completely clarified. This study was aimed to investigate the disease mechanism by examining clinical, radiologic, and immunohistochemical findings in children diagnosed with subacute necrotizing lymphadenitis after an excisional biopsy. Methods : We examined 19 lymph node tissue specimens from 17 children diagnosed with subacute...
The Immunohistochemical Expression of Neuronal Nitric Oxide Synthase in Rat Hippocampus after Pentylenetetrazole-Induced Seizures
Doo-Kwun Kim, Tae-Jung Jang
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2001;44(12):1432-1440.   Published online December 15, 2001
Purpose : In order to determine the effect of neuronal nitric oxide synthase(nNOS) in seizure-related neuronal vulnerability of the hippocampus, the expression patterns of nNOS were examined in pentylenetetrazole(PTZ)-induced seizure groups and in PTZ seizure groups which were pretreated with nNOS inhibitors. Methods : Male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 200-300 g were used in PTZ(40 mg/kg)-induced seizure experiments. A specific inhibitor, 50 mg/kg 7-nitroindazole(7-NI), and a...

Malignant Ectomesenchymoma in a Two-Month-Old Boy
Ji Young Hwang, Ji Hyoun Seo, Jeum-Su Kim, Young-Suk Kim, Sue-Jin Lee, Chan-Hoo Park, Yoo Kyung Kim, Sun Hoo Park, Jung Hee Lee, In Oak Ahn, Ki Hyun Chung, Byung-Kiu Park
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2001;44(8):959-964.   Published online August 15, 2001
Malignant ectomesenchymoma is a rare tumor originating from remnants of migratory neural crest(ectomesenchyme) and composed of neuroectodermal as well as mesenchymal components. Neuroblasts and ganglion cells constitute the neuroectodermal components and rhabdomyosarcoma is the most frequently encountered mesenchymal components. We report a case of malignant ectomesenchymoma in a two-month-old boy who was presented with abdominal pain and urinary difficulty. The...

Clinical and Histologic Changes in Children with Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection after Alpha Interferon Therapy
Kyung Mo Kim, Soo Jong Hong, Young Seo Park, Hyung Nam Moon, Chang Yee Hong, Joo Ryoung Huh
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1995;38(9):1232-1241.   Published online September 15, 1995
Purpose : Several trials in children for chronic hepatitis B have shown the efficacy of alpha interferon in eliminating hepatitis B virus replication, accompanied by an improvement in the liver cell damage. But reports about the alpha interferon therapy are rare in Korean children and there is no report about histologic changes even with adult. So we tried to...
