So we reviewed the bone changes in 51 patients of leukemia admitted to the Dept, of Pediatrics Jeonbug National University Hospital for 5 years from Jan. 1st 1977 to Dec. 31st 1981. The results were as follow. The male patient was... |
A study was made for investigation of occult in children according to age and sex distribution, and correlation with disease, G-I problems, drugs, Hemoglobin and parasites. The test group was 741 patients who were admitted in The Dept, of Pediatrics of Jeonbug National University Hsopital from Jan. 1977 to Apr. 1981, and 241 cases of normal children. In each cases a stool specimen... |
This experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of anticancer drugs on the phagocytic function of reticuloendothelial system. The phagocytic activity was assessed by- means of carbon clearance method, after intravenous injection of vincristine(5 pg or 25 y^g/lOO gm of body weight) and adriamycin (70 pg or 350 ^g/100 gm of body weight) through one, two, and three times at the interval of... |
Two cases of teratoma on sacrococcygeal region in newborn are reported with pathological findings, and a brief review of related literature is included in this report. |
This experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of depressor and stimulator of central nervous system on the reticuloendothelial phagocytic function in vivo. The phagocytic activity was assessed by means of carbon clearance method after intra-muscular adimnistration of phenobarbital(1mg/0.2 ml of normal saline/100 gm of body weight) and intravenous administ-ration of theophylline(1 mg/0.2 ml of normal saline/100 gm of... |
To investigate the developmental changes of human erythrocytes, adult and fetal erythrocyte membranes prepared from adult and cord blood were analyzed in regard to their proteins, glycoproteins, enzyme activities and glucose transport systems. 1. Adult and fetal erythrocyte membranes appeared to have the same major proteins and gl-ycoproteins in the electrophoretic pattern. 2. ATPase activity in adult erythrocyte membranes was... |
Serum cholinesterase and other commonly employed function tests were determined in 12 patients with nephrotic syndrome, 17 patients with infectious hepatitis and 7 patients with acute glomerulonephritis who were available for se5rial studies the evaluation of which was helpful in diagnosis, management and prognosis of various disease. The results were as follows. 1) Serum cholinesterase activity in patients with nephrotic... |
It has long been known that Vasopressin could increase the urinary sodium and chloride excretion. The exact mechanism and site of action, however, have not yet been explained. Experiments were performed whether the renal effects were the same in both cortical and juxtamedullary nephron in decorticated kiddney model. Heat-decortication was car ried out in the left kidney immersed in water... |
Patent urachus occurs when there is a primary failure of luminal closure of the urachus, so a communication between the urachus and both the bladder and the umbilicus exists. Urachal anomalies are exceptionally rare occurrences that may manifest themselves in later life as well as in childhood and at first, patent urachus was reported by Cabrolius in 1550. Patent urachus... |
In order to study the effects of aminoglycosides on leukochemotaxis in rats, the degree of leukocyte infiltration and differential leukocyte count were observed at the experimentally inflamed tissue by incision of the skin and the application of endotoxin subcutaneously after the administration of gentamicin and streptomycin respectively. The results obtained were as follows. 1) In the control group treated with... |
A hemagglutination(HA)-typing system has been developed for the presumptive identification of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli(ETEC) possessing the colonization factor antigens(CFA) Seventy-seven E. coli strains from pediatric patients with or without diarrhea were examined for the mannose-resistant(MR) HA or mannose-sensitive(MS) HA of human, bovine, chicken, and guinea pig erythrocytes and their antibiotic resestances. A significant proportion(68%) of the isolates exhibited the HA... |
Feeding habits and sugar contents contents affect dental health and ultimately the total health of young chidren. Nursing bottle caries, nursing botte syndreme, bottle-propping caries are synonymous term for a devastaing condition that may render young children dental cripples. Typically, the primary maxillary incisors are affected most severely and mandibular incisors are seldom involved. We report 4 cases of nursing... |
We experienced a patient of 13 days old female who was diagnosed with Ritter's disease and reported with brief review of literatures. 3 days before entry, she was suffered from fever, irritability and bullous skin lesions suddenly. And then coagulase-positive staphylococcus aureus was isolated from skin lesions and treated with systemic and local supportive measures. |
The most common site of posterior urethral valve is that in which there is an exaggeration of the normal ridges which extend from the midline dorsal urethral ridge and from the verumontanum to surround the urethra just before the membranous region. Obstruction to urine flow may be complete or partial. In patients with partial obstruction, failure to thrive, systemic acidosis... |
We were experienced a case of sclerema neonatorum which was developed in a 13 days old newborn, and we report it with a brief review. |
We were experienced Duchenne type muscular dystrophy occuring in 3 brothers among 6 siblings. In all cases, the clinical symtoms were started at about 6 years old age, And diagnosis was easily confirmed by clinical symptoms and laboratory examination with muscle biopsy. We report with brief review of the literature. |
Seventy-nine patients of the Japanese B encephalitis, that were initially diagnosed by clinical findings, were examined employing hemagglutination inhibition(HI) test 2 times at interval of one week, and the correlation between clinical findings and results of HI test was investigated. The results obtained as follows. 1)Among 79 patients who were initially diagnosed with Japanese B encephalitis by clinical findings, 26. 5... |
We were experienced a case of cryptococcal ^meningitis in 5 years old girl that similar to tuberculous meningitis on course and laboratory examination, at first. And we report with brief review of the related literature. |
A case of chondroectodermal dysplasia in two months and nineteen days old Korean male with multiple anomalies was reported. The concomtiant brief review of the literature was also made. |
A Congenital Alopecia due to a simple ectodermal defect was observed in 8 years and 7 months aged female. |
A 106 case of children with tuberculous meningitis aged 5 months to 14 years were clinically observed at Mokpo Children’s Hospital from May, 1962 to December, 1968.
