Familial Hypercholesterolemia is the most common hyperlipoproteinemia during the childhood, which occurs from the mutation of genes that regulates low-density lipoproteins(LDL), and is classified into two types, the homozygote presented abnormal genes from both parents and the heterozygote presented an abnormal gene from each parent.

Mauriac's syndrome was described in the 1920s, as a triad of poorly controlled insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, profound growth retardation, and hepatomgaly. Following the wide availability of insulin and intensification of diabetic control, this entity has become quite rare.

Purpose : Sex hormone binding globulin(SHBG) is produced in liver and binds to testostero-ne and estradiol. Plasma SHBG levels are increased by estrogen and thyrotoxicosis and decreased by testostrone, insulin, growth hormone, prolactin, obesity and noninsulin dependent diabetes mellitus. SHBG levels in patients with NIDDM is known to be higher than normal, but SHBG levels in children with IDDM is controversial.... |

With a view to recognizing its importance, we studied clinical course of IDDM patients in Chonbuk province, Korea. Methods : From... |
Iron overload from repeated blood transfusions in patients with hematologic problems is a problem of clinical significance, because eventually it can lead to secondary hemochromatosis with diabetes. So it is important to diagnose iron overload early and to restrict blood transfusions in these patients. Recently, we experienced one case of secondary hemochromatosis with diabetes in patient wi th congenital pure red... |
Bodycomposition measurement is useful in the diagnosis of pathoogy, assessment of disease process and response to treatment in many endoclonologic and metabolic diseases. The Techniques used currently are mostly indirect, often expensive, difficult and time-consuming. A new method for estimation of body composition, infrared interactance, is rapid, safe, noninvasive, and may be useful in research ad clinical studies. Body composition was... |

Hypothyroidism, and noraml control groups using high pressure liquid chromatography protein pak 300 sw column. The following results are observed: 1)... |
Miescher syndrome comprises congenital acanthosis nigricans, hypertrichosis, failure to thrive and short stature, dysmorphism especially of the jaws and oral cavity. Insulin-resistant diabetes mellitus, and a characteristic general appearance. This report concerns a rare case of 12-year-old girl having insulin resistant diabetic mellitus with Miescher syndrome. The relevant literature was reviewed. |
An epidemiological survey on the glycosuria was conducted on the senier students of middle and hign school in Seoul, from March 1981 to March 1982. Selected examinee totalled to 254,835 of which 138,116 were male & 116,719 were female. The initial, second and third urine sugar test were done with Combur-test strip? Glucose tolerance test was performed on those who... |
Prader-Willi syndrome is characterized by infantile hypotonia, mental retardation, hyperhagia, hypogonadism and obestiy. Approximately 60% of all PLW syndrome show an interstitial deletion of chromosome 15, 37% have apparently normal chromosome, and 3.6% have a variety of other abnormalities involving chromosome 15. Diabetes mellitus has been considered a component of PLW syndrome and the incidence is about 7%. We... |
L-asparaginase is known as an effective anticancer drug in the induction chemotherapy of acute lymphocytic leukemia. The side effects or toxicities of L-asparaginase and prednisolone are hypersen- sitivity reaction, hepatotoxicity, pancreatitis and transient diabetes mellitus, CNS toxicity, disorder of coagulation system and mild cytotoxicity. We experienced a case of transient diabetes mellitus and diabetic ketoacidosis induced by L- asparaginase, prednisolone, vincristine and MTX administration in... |
The authors experienced a case of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus with hypothyroidism. We recommend that all patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus be screened for thyroid mi- crosomal antibody and that those patients found to have thyroid microsomal antibody be followed annually for determination of free T4 and TSH values. We report this case with a review of related literatures. |
35 childhood insulin-dependent (Typel) diabetes mellitus were typed for HLA and examined for presence of islet cell antibody and level of C-peptide. The following results were obtained: 1) HLA types were present as follows; HLA A24 (9) in 58%, DR3 in 38% and DR4 in 62%. This was slightly higher than the Korean population of 38%, 7% and 48% but there was no significant difference. 2) When... |
Dermatomyositis is a rarely recognized disorder with poor prognosis. The mortality has been decreased after the initiation of steroid for ifs treatment. Authors experienced a case of der- matomyositis responded well to prednisone therapy and developed hyperglycemia laterly. A 14 year old boy was admitted to pediatric ward with the chief complaints of progressive muscular weakness and facial rash and diagnosed as having dermatomyositis... |
Twenty-one children and young adults with Insulin-dependent diatetes mellitus and 23 control underwent 2D and M-mode echocardiography. Following results were obtained: 1) LVESD, LVEDD, EF, FS, LAD/AOD ratio, Dm of IVS and Dm of PLVWT were not significantly different in diabetics compared to control subjects. 2) In IDDM PEP was slightly increased and LVET was slightly decreased, but there was not statistical significance between the two groups. But... |
Transient Neonatal D.M. is rare disease which is characterized by letharginess, dehydration and weight loss with severe hyperglycemia. It occurs frequently which small for data infant and recovers spontaneously if appropriate insulin treatment was taken. We had expirienced a case of Transient Neonatal D.M. in 15 days old female infant. The review of the literature was made briefly. |
The injection of streptozotocin (STZ) at higher dose (60 mg/kg) to young male rats produce direct beta cell destruction and lead to insulin dependent diabetes (IDD). In contrast, the injection of multiple smaller dose of STZ (40 mg/kg/d for 5 days) produce IDD, which resembles type 1 diabetes in man. The protective effect of pertussis vaccine (PV) & cyclosporin (CA) against the develoment... |
The human growth hormone (hGH) levels were evaluated in 13 diabetes mellitus, 11 patients were insulin dependent diabetes (ages 2 yr 10 mo to 13 yr 14 mo), 2 patients were noninsulin dependent diabetes (age 12 yr & 12 yr 5 mo). No difference in hGH level was observed in relation to duration of diabetes. The hGH responses to glucagon 1 mg injection in... |
A 2 year 10 month old girl with 6 weeks duration and 13 year 4 month old boy with 8 weeks duration were given cyclosporin for 68 days. Therapy was initiated orally at the dosage of 10 mg per kg of body per day. Blood glucose, C-peptide, cyclosporin, creatinin, BUN and transaminase were checked regularly. Cyclosporin treatment allowed two patients to... |
