Jun Ho Kim, Woo Taek Kim, Byeong Ook Jung
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2001;44(4):426-432.   Published online April 15, 2001
Purpose : The diagnosis of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis(HPS) can be made by clinical manifestations and upper gastrointestinal(UGI) series in most cases. Recently, the ultrasonogram(US) is a more accurate and reliable method for the diagnosis of HPS in early stage. Methods : We retrospectively studied 27 HPS patients confirmed surgically from January 1999 to March 2000. We reviewed clinical histories and physical and laboratory findings....
The Role of Nitric Oxide in Seizures Induced by Pentylenetetrazole
Jun Ho Kim, Doo Kwun Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(10):1356-1363.   Published online October 15, 2000
Purpose : Nitric oxide(NO) is a highly reactive messenger molecule that is synthesized by nitric oxide synthase(NOS) in a number of tissues including the brain. Our aim was to examine the possible role of NO on pentylenetetrazole(PTZ)-induced seizure in rats as a proconvulsant or an anticonvulsant. Methods : Male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 200-300g were used. PTZ(40mg/kg) was used to induce seizure....

A Case of Fryns Syndrome
Jun Ho Kim, Jin Hwa Jeong, Sung Min Cho
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(9):1269-1273.   Published online September 15, 2000
Fryns syndrome is a lethal syndrome of multiple congenital anomalies first described by Fryns et al in 1979. A recently developed major diagnostic criteria includes abnormal face, small thorax with widely spaced hypoplastic nipples, distal limb and nail hypoplasia, lung hypoplasia with diaphragmatic hernia, central nervous system anomalies and congenital heart disease. The pathogenesis of Fryns syndrome is not clear....
A Case of Prader-Willi Syndrome with FUO Diagnosed at Infancy
Jun Ho Kim, Jin Hwa Jeong, Sung Min Cho
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(8):1142-1148.   Published online August 15, 2000
Prader-Willi syndrome(PWS) was first described by Prader et al in 1956. This syndrome is characterized by diminished fetal activity, low birth weight, infantile hypotonia with feeding problem, temperature instability, early onset of childhood hyperphagia with consequent obesity, short stature, hypogonadism and mental retardation. The deletion of chromosome 15(del 15(q11-13)) was reported by Ledbetter in 1981, which was thought to be...

A Prospective Study on Ceftriaxone-associated Biliary Pseudolithiasis : A Dose-related Comparison
Sun Ju Lee, Jun Ho Kim, Jin Hwa Jeong, Sung Min Cho, Sung Tae Park, Dae Seob Choi, Hyeon Kyeong Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(8):1090-1097.   Published online August 15, 2000
Purpose : Ceftriaxone, a parenteral third-generation cephalosporine, is widely used in the treatment of various bacterial infections. It possesses high calcium-binding affinity, forming complexes with calcium in bile salts to develop precipitate that mimics gallstone on ultrasonography. Biliary pseudolithiasis resolves completely with cessation of therapy, but several symptomatic patients have undergone cholesystectomy. We prospectively evaluated the incidence, risk factors and...

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...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1987;30(12):1439-1445.   Published online December 31, 1987
A case of the Naumoff type (type 3) of short rib-polydactyly syndrome is reported. The skeletal changes included bulging forehead, flat occiput, short cranial base, extremely short horizontal ribs, abnormal vertebrae, and post-axial polydactyly. Microscopically, cartilage showed markedly stunted and disorganized endochondrial ossification. Extraskeletal manifestation were cleft palate, pulmonary hypoplasia, hydropelvis and hydroureter with narrowing of ureterovesical junction. Differentiation from other type of short rib-polydactyly syndrome...

Byung Yun Chung, Jun Ho Kim, Go Chang Kim, Woon Jae Park
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1982;25(10):1078-1081.   Published online October 31, 1982
We experienced a case of urticaria pigmentosa. A 3,400 gm female infant was torn after 38 weeks gestation to a 24 years old mother. On 3rd hospital day, a brownish small lesion was seen on the left malleolar region. Two months later, she visited to our hospital with multiple skin lesions. Diagnosis was established by skin biopsy. The review of the related literature was...
