The Measurement of Neonatal Pulmonary Artery Pressure by Echocardiography
Ju Young Chung, Dong Chul Park
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2001;44(8):886-892.   Published online August 15, 2001
Purpose : The main purpose of this study was to conduct accurate noninvasive measurement of the pulmonary artery pressure(PAP) in the neonatal period. The other purpose was to find some descriminant factors that are correlated with pulmonary artery pressure even when there is no tricuspid regurgitation(TR) or patent ductus arteriosus(PDA). Methods : 32 cases of premature and full term infants with...
Comparison of Treatment Course and Outcome between Medically and Surgically Treated Patent Ductus
Jeong Geun Kim, Jeong Nyun Kim, Dong Chul Park, Shin Yeong Lee, Hyun Chul Lee, Myung Jae Chey, Churl Young Chung,
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(10):1334-1341.   Published online October 15, 1998
Purpose : Early intervention is needed to treat patent ductus arteriosus(PDA) as it is a major cause of increased mortality in preterm infants. However, it is uncertain which is better, medical versus surgical management. We reviewed medical records to compare the treatment course and outcome between medically and surgically treated preterm PDA infants. Methods : Thirth-two Mechanically ventilated pretem infants(gestational age<34...

A Case of Dandy-Walker Syndrome with Complex Cardiac Anomaly
Ssack Joong Yoon, Sung Jin Hong, Hyung Goo Cho, Dong Chul Park
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1995;38(1):110-116.   Published online January 15, 1995
The Dandy-Walker syndrome is a developmental disorder of the brain characterized by cystic dilatation of the fourth ventricle and agenesis or hypoplasia of the cerebellar vermis. We experinced a case of Dandy-Walker syndrome with complex cardiac anomaly in female newborn who presented with apnea at birth. Physical examination showed coloboma on left eye, low estting malformed ear, and high arched...
A Case of 4p+ Syndrome
Souck Joong Yoon, Sung Jin Hong, Hyung Gu Jo, Dong Chul Park
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1994;37(9):1325-1329.   Published online September 15, 1994
We experinced a case of 4p+ syndrome in male infant. He had multiple anomalies such as flat occiput, hypertelorism, low set malformed ear, lower anterior hair line, depressed nose, broad nasal bridge, bilateral complete cleft lip and palate, short neck, unusual position of fingers, ventricular septal defect and umblical hernia. He menifested growth and developmental retardation. Karyotype with banding revealed an...

Normal Fetal echocardiography
Seock Joong Yoon, Sung Jin Hong, Hyung Gu Cho, Jung Wan Yoo, Dong Chul Park
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1994;37(5):606-611.   Published online May 15, 1994
Fetal echocardiography is used by means of decleration of fetal cardiac anaxtomy, to estabilish the diagnosis of congenital heart disease in utero. We attemped fetal echocardiography to ninty three pregnant women after intra uterine period 24 weeks, and estimated cardiac circumference, cardiac axis, pulmonary atery root diameter, arortic root diameter, diameter of inferior vena cava, diameterof superior vena cava, and...

A Case of Congenital Dyserythropoietic Anemia, Type II
Won Kyung Yang, Jung Wan Yoo, Hyung Goo Cho, Dong Chul Park, In Sung Lee, Won Yong Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1994;37(1):99-103.   Published online January 15, 1994
Congenital dyserythropoietic anemia Type II (herditary erythroblatic multinuclearity with positive acidfied serum test;HEMPAS) is characterized by binuclearity, multinuclearity, pluripolar mitoses, karyorrhexis of normoblasts, and the presence of abnormla antigens on the red cells. We experienced a case of HEMPAS in a 2 month old girl patient who had an intermittent fever, abdominal distention with palpable liver & spleen, and generalized jaundice. The...

Clinical study on the factors used in the diagnosis of heart failure.
Dong Chul Park, Seok Min Choi, Jun Hee Sul, Sung Kyu Lee, Dong Shik Chin
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1991;34(11):1534-1539.   Published online November 30, 1991
Heart failure is the state in which heart cannot produce the cardiac output required to sustain the metabolic needs of the body without evoking certain compensatory mechanisms. As these mecha- nisms become ineffective, increasingly severe clinical manifestations result. The diagnosis of conges- tive heart failure relies on several sources of clinical findings, including history, physical examination, and chest X-rays. For lack of uniform diagnostic...
Predictive factors and initial selection of antibiotics in neonatal sepsis.
Dong Chul Park, Chul Lee, Kook In Park, Ran Namgung, Dong Gwan Han
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1991;34(6):755-762.   Published online June 30, 1991
For simplifying and standardizing the interpretation of usual findings for neonatal sepsis, prenatal and perinatal factors, clinical symptoms and signs, method of management and hematologic findings were evaluated as a screening test. From the data obtained, a scoring system was formulated that assigns a score of 3 for diarrhea, 1. 5 for tachypnea, 1.5 for cyanosis, 1 for umbilical vessel catheterization, 1 for intravenous...
Dubowitz Neurologic Examination in Normal Neonates.
Young Soo Lee, Soh Yeon Kim, Dong Chul Park, Kook In Park, Ran Namgung, Chul Lee, Dong Gwan Han
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1990;33(7):977-988.   Published online July 31, 1990
With the improvement in survival rate in high risk infants in the neonatal intensive care unit, there is rising concern about the neurologic sequelae in these infants. In order to evaluate the neur- ologic examination in normal neonates, 400 normal newborns were evaluated for a duration of 6 months from Mach 1989 to August 1989. Neonates greater than 37 weeks gestational age, birth weight...
A Case of Larsen Syndrome.
Dong Chul Park, Chan Jun Coe, Duk Jin Yun
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1987;30(11):1305-1310.   Published online November 30, 1987
An infant is descirbed who has multiple joint dislocations, unusual facies, and bony abnormalities, which constitute a syndrome first reported by Larsen. This report expands Larsen syndrome with additional findings such as apparent diminshed rigidity of cartilage in infancy, short nails, unusual juxtacalcaneal “accessory” bone, and mental retardation. The joint lesions and mental retardation require prolonged observation and treatment is limited mainly symptomatic therapy and...
