Severe vitamin D deficiency in preterm infants: maternal and neonatal clinical features
Sook-Hyun Park, Gi-Min Lee, Jung-Eun Moon, Heng-Mi Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2015;58(11):427-433.   Published online November 22, 2015
Purpose

We investigated the vitamin D status of preterm infants to determine the incidence of vitamin D deficiency.

Methods

A total of 278 preterm infants delivered at Kyungpook National University Hospital between January 2013 and May 2015 were enrolled. The serum concentrations of calcium, phosphorous, alkaline phosphatase, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) were measured at birth. We collected maternal and neonatal data such as...

The effect of erythropoietin in neonatal rat model of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury
Heng-Mi Kim, Byung-Ho Choe, Soon-Hak Kwon, Yoon-Kyung Sohn
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2009;52(1):105-110.   Published online January 15, 2009
Purpose : Perinatal asphyxia is an important cause of neonatal mortality and subsequent lifelong neurodevelopmental handicaps. Although many treatment strategies have been tested, there is currently no clinically effective treatment to prevent or reduce the harmful effects of hypoxia and ischemia in humans. Erythropoietin (Epo) has been shown to exert neuroprotective effects in various brain injury models although the exact...
Auditory brainstem response (ABR) results in NICU graduates
Hee-Joung Choi, Tae-ho Lee, Ki-Won Oh, Heng-Mi Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2006;49(12):1301-1307.   Published online December 15, 2006
Purpose : Hearing loss is one of the most common birth defects, and early detection and intervention positively impact language/speech and cognitive development. It has been reported that NICU graduates have a high incidence of hearing loss. So we investigated the incidence, risk factors and clinical outcome of hearing loss in NICU graduates. Methods : This study involved neonatal auditory brainstem...
Effect of Resuscitation with High Concentration Oxygen on a Rat Model of Neonatal Hypoxic-Ischemic Brain Injury
Dong Seok Lee, Su-Hee Kwak, Heng-Mi Kim, Yoon Kyung Sohn
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2001;44(11):1278-1288.   Published online November 15, 2001
Purpose : This study was undertaken to determine whether any features of apoptosis would occur in the established model of cerebral hypoxia-ischemia in neonatal rats. It was also undertaken to evaluate the effect of post-insult hyperoxia on hypoxic ischemic cerebral injury. Methods : Seven-day-old neonatal rats underwent unilateral carotid artery dissection followed by 2 hours of hypoxia. To this end...
Case Report
A Case of Neonatal Urinary Ascites due to Bladder Perforation Treated with Urinary Drainage
Heng-Mi Kim, Su-Hee Kwak, Sung-Kwang Jung, Sang-Kwon Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2001;44(8):948-953.   Published online August 15, 2001
Urinary ascites in newborns is a rare event that usually is associated with posterior urethral valves and other obstructing anomalies of the genitourinary tract. A case of neonatal urinary ascites without genitourinary tract abnormalities is reported. This premature male neonate was treated by artificial ventilation due to respiratory distress syndrome. The umbilical artery catheter was placed without difficulties and functioned...

Physiological Effects of Kangaroo Care(skin-to-skin care) in Small Preterm Infants and Their Parents
Heng-Mi Kim, Soo-Young Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(3):365-371.   Published online March 15, 2000
Purpose : Kangaroo care is the practice of holding a small premaure infant, naked except for a diaper and hat, against a parent's chest. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and feasibility of kangaroo care in a NICU as defined by physiological variables. Methods : Ten stable, spontaneously breathing preterm infants, weighing less than 2,000gm were...
Therapeutic Effect of Nimodipine in Neonatal Rat Model of Cerebral Hypoxia-Ischemia
Ihn-Hee Hong, Heng-Mi Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1999;42(11):1552-1558.   Published online November 15, 1999
Purpose : Recent studies suggest that nimodipine, a potent calcium-channel blocker, may improve neurological outcome after experimental hypoxia-ischemic brain injury. This study was conducted to evaluate the therapeutic effect of nimodipine on hypoxia-ischemia in immature rat brain. Methods : Seven-day postnatal rats were subjected to hypoxia-ischemia by unilateral common carotid artery occlusion combined with 2 hours of hypoxia(in 8% oxygen...
