Kug Hwan Kim, Young Il Ro, Eun Seok Yang, Kyung Rae Moon, Sang Kee Park, Byung Su Jung
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1997;40(8):1169-1172.   Published online August 15, 1997
Herpes zoster, an inflammatory human disease caused by varicella zoster virus, is characterized by papulovesicular lesions along the distribution of a sensory nerve. We experienced a herpes zoster in 23 day old premature infant. The papules were distributed on his skin corresponding to the dermatomes innervated by the left Th3-Th4. The diagnosis of herpes zoster was made with dermatomal distribution of typical skin lesions, pathologic...

Statistical Analysis of the Prevalence and Trend of Obesity in Elementary School Children in Kwangju
Kyung Rae Moon, Young Bong Park
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1993;36(1):81-87.   Published online January 15, 1993
To estimate the prevalence and trend of obesity in primary school-age children, obesity survey was performed in children aged 6 to 12 years (5,226 boys and 5,048 girls) in Kwangju in 1991. Obesity was defined as overweight if more than 20 per cent above the median weight for height and age (relative weight>120%). The following results were obtained: 1) The prevalence of...
Inhibitory effects of several drugs to intestinal secretory stimulation of heat-labile enterotoxin produced by enterotoxigenic E. coli.

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1991;34(9):1231-1239.   Published online September 30, 1991
For exploitation of new antidiarrheal agents to heat-labile enterotoxin (LT) produced by enterotox- igenic E. coli, we have tested several drugs by rabbit ileal loop assay and obtained some significant results. L-glutathione (20 mg), P-chloromercuriphenyl sulfonic acid (20 mg) and water heating extract of Prunus mume (20 mg) reduced LT-mediated intestinal fluid secretion in rabbit ileal loop assay by 92%, 87%, 92% respectively. Maleate,...
Seroconversion rate of measles specific IgG antibody in previously vaccinated children.
Kyeoing Hun Cha, Eun Kyeong Jung, Kyung Rae Moon, Kap Seung Kim, Sang Kee Park, Yeong Bong Park
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1991;34(8):1080-1085.   Published online August 31, 1991
This study was performed to evaluate the changes of measles specific IgG antibody titer using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) on the sera of various groups of age. We obtained the following result: 1) Out of 118cases, 99cases (83.9%) were vaccinated children and 19cases (16.1%) were unvac- cinated children. Among them, the number of cases who had been infected with measles were 17 cases (17.2%) in...
The effect of pertussis vaccine on streptozotocin induced diabetic rats.
Kyung Rae Moon, Kwang Rhun Koo, Sang Kee Park, Yeong Bong Park, Byoung Rai Lee, Keun Hong Kee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1991;34(7):897-906.   Published online July 31, 1991
Streptozotocin produces diabetes in laboratory animals through the destuction of the pancreatic beta cells. The diabetogenic activity of STZ, however, is known to be modified by several agents such as nicotinamide, diazoxide, adrenergic blockers and petussis vaccine (PV). The present study was undertaken to observe the protective effect of PV or boiled pertussis vaccine (bPV; incubating the PV at 80 C for 30 mintues)...
A Case of Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia Associated with Chronic Hepatitis in Children.
Kwan Mo Choi, Kyeong Hun Cha, Eun Yeong Kwak, Kyung Rae Moon, Yeong Bong Park
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1990;33(9):1288-1293.   Published online September 30, 1990
Recently, We experienced a case of autoimmune hemolytic anemia in a 13 year old female patient associated with chronic hepatitis. This female child manifested severe pallor, jaundice, abdominal pain and fever. This diagnosis was made on the bases of typical clinical features, C.B.C., blood chemistry, coombs test, warm antibody, immunoelectrophoresis, peripheral blood smear and bone marrow examination. The patient improved with steroid therapy. We report this...
A Study on Changes of Serum Prootein, Immunoglobulins, and Electrolyte Metabolism in Childhood Nephrotic Syndrome after Steroid Therapy.
Kyung Rae Moon, Chang Soo Ra
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1986;29(1):32-44.   Published online January 31, 1986
The author determined serum and 24hr urine protein(total protein and albumin), immunoglobulins(lgG, IgA, and IgM) and serum electrolytes(Na, K, Ca, P, Mg, and Cl) in 5 cases of childhood nephrotic syndrome before and after steroid therapy, until urinary excretion of protein was negative (remission).The results observed are summarized as follows; 1) Serum protein; Before treatment, the mean serum total protein...
