Articulation error of children with adenoid hypertrophy
Tae-Hoon Eom, Eun-Sil Jang, Young-Hoon Kim, Seung-Yun Chung, In-Goo Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2014;57(7):323-328.   Published online July 23, 2014
Purpose

Adenoid hypertrophy is a physical alteration that may affect speech, and a speech disorder can have other negative effects on a child's life. Airway obstruction leads to constricted oral breathing and causes postural alterations of several oro-facial structures, including the mouth, tongue, and hyoid bone. The postural modifications may affect several aspects of speech production.

Methods

In this study, we compared articulation...

Keun Young Lee, Dong-Un Kim, Hyun Seung Lee, Pil Sang Jang, Young-Hoon Kim, Jin Tack Kim, Hyun Hee Kim, Kyung-Yil Lee, Joon-Sung Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2006;49(12):1348-1353.   Published online December 15, 2006
Purpose : The reticuloendothelial system is composed of sinusoidal capillaries, through which even large protein molecules are freely movable between plasma and interstitial space, including the lymphatic system. Therefore, high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) would cause a redistribution of proteins between two compartments. To investigate this hypothesis, we measured plasma protein and lipid levels in patients with Kawasaki disease before and...

The Morphologic Changes of Parvalbumin- Immunoreactive Interneurons of the Dentate Gyrus in Kainate-Treated Mouse Hippocampal Slice Culture Epilepsy Model
Hee Sun Chung, Mi-Young Shin, Young-Hoon Kim, In-Goo Lee, Kyung-Tai Whang, Myung-Suk Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2002;45(12):1551-1558.   Published online December 15, 2002
Purpose : Loss of hippocampal interneurons in dentate gyrus has been reported in patients with severe temporal lobe epilepsy and in animals treated with kainic acid(KA). Interneurons contain Ca2＋- binding protein parvalbumin(PV). The effects of kainic acid on parvalbumin-immunoreactive (PV-IR) interneurons in dentate gyrus were investigated in organotypic hippocampal slice cultures. Methods : Cultured hippocampal slices from postnatal day nine...

Me Gyoung Lee, Young-Nae Roh, Young-Hoon Kim, Chung Sun Baek, Me Gyoung Sin, Jin Lee, Pil-Sang Jang, Jin-Tack Kim, Kweon-Haeng Lee, Kyung-Tai Whang
Accepted January 1, 1970  
Trisomy 9p syndrome was first described by Rethore, et al in 1970 and about 150 cases have been reported. Trisomy 9p has been reported as either partial or complete. The term "duplication 9p syndrome" instead of "trisomy 9p syndrome" is used since most of the reported patients had only partial duplication rather than the whole arm duplication of 9p. Duplication...
