Na Yeon Kim, Chun Hyuk Chang, Dong Seok Lee, Doo Kwun Kim, Sung Min Choi, Woo Taek Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(2):223-228.   Published online February 15, 2000
Purpose : Intravenous gamma globulin(IVGG) treatment has reduced symptoms and complications in Kawasaki disease(KD). However, fever persisted in 20-30% of the patients, and there are no reliable data on the indication and dosage of IVGG re-treatment. Therefore, we tried to reveal the effectiveness of IVGG re-treatment and to find risk factors in predicting the re-treatment. Methods : Among 57 patients with...
Distribution and Expression of Kainate(KA) Receptor Subunits in Moderate Hypoxic Newborn Piglet Brain
Chun Hyuk Chang, Woo Taek Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1999;42(12):1651-1660.   Published online December 15, 1999
Purpose : The mechanism of hypoxic damage is mainly intracellular influx of calcium ions through the glutamate ionotropic receptor. This study was performed to determine alterations in distribution and expression of kainate receptor subunits after 1 hour of moderate hypoxia in the newborn piglet brain, as in a condition of mild to moderate perinatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Methods : Ten newborn piglets...

Chun Hyuk Chang, Jin Hwa Jung, Sung Min Cho,, Dae Seop Choi
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1999;42(11):1589-1593.   Published online November 15, 1999
Parry-Romberg syndrome(Progressive hemifacial atrophy), described in the last century by Parry(1825) and Romberg(1846), is a very rare disorder characterized by a slowly progressive and self-limited unilateral(rarely bilateral) atrophy of the faces affecting variably the skin, subcutaneous fat tissues, musculature, connective tissue, cartilage and bones. And this disorder is usually accompanied by contralateral Jacksonian epilepsy, trigerminal neuralgia, and changes in the...
A Case of Nonsyndromic Paucity of Interlobular Bile Ducts in Down Syndrome
Chun Hyuk Chang, Jun Ho Kim, Sun Ju Le, Dong Seok Lee, Doo Kwun Kim, Sung Min Choi, Woo Taek Kim, Tae Jung Jang
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1999;42(6):858-862.   Published online June 15, 1999
The nonsyndromic paucity of interlobular bile ducts, which belongs to intrahepatic biliary atresia, is characterized by conjugated hyperbilirubinemia, suggesting cholestasis in newborn infants it has little relationship with extrahepatic congenital abnormalities. Pathologic findings through percutaneous liver biopsy show portal changes(duct paucity and fibrosis) and lobular changes(cholestasis, giant cell transformation, extramedullary hematopoiesis and perisinusoidal fibrosis). The overall incidence of intrahepatic biliary...

Retrospective 3-year Clinical Study of Enterobacter Bacteremia in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Kwang Ok Chung, Chun Hyuk Chang, Sung Min Cho, Dong Seok Lee, Doo Kwun Kim, Sung Min Choi
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(4):466-471.   Published online April 15, 1998
Purpose : Enterobacter is one of the important organisms in neonatal intensive care unit. We reviewed the clinical characteristics, underlying diseases, invasive procedures during admission, mortality and antibiotic sensitivity of Enterobacter infection in NICU. Methods : We retrospectively reviewed 21 neonatal patients whose blood cultures yielded Enterobacter between June 1994 and June 1997 at Dongguk University Hospital. Results : Blood cultures were positive in 62...
