Developmental mRNA Expression of Cellular Retinoic Acid Binding Protein I and Ⅱ in Rat
Young Yoo, Hyung Suk Kim, Chang Sung Son, Young Chang Tockgo, Young Hyuk Jeon
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(2):154-162.   Published online February 15, 1998
Purpose : Retinoic acid(RA) is well known as a potent teratogenic agent in both deficiency and excess. Cellular retinoic acid binding proteins(CRABPs) are involved in RA. We carried this study in order to determine the possible relations of CRABPs with RA-induced teratogenesis through observation of the expression patterns of CRABP Ⅰand Ⅱ in developing rats. Methods : 35S-labeled RNA probes were...

A Case of Neuronal Heterotopia
Jeong Hae Joo, Eun Joo Seok, Min Jeong Kim, Son Sang Seo
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1997;40(8):1173-1177.   Published online August 15, 1997
Neuronal migrational disorders of the brain represent abnormalities in the formation of the neocortex caused by faulty migration of the subependymal neuroblasts. The neuroblasts normally migrate between the sixth and 15th gestational week and in doing so form the six-layered neocortex. When the migration does not occur in a normal fashion the resultant brain anomalies include lissencephaly, pachygyria, schizencephaly, hemimegalencephaly, heterotopia, and polymicrogyria. Neuronal heterotopia is...

An Autopsy Case of Tracheal Agenesis Type 2
Hyun Joo Lee, Eun Ae Park, Seung Joo Lee, Mi Jeong Kim, Soon Hee Seong
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1996;39(12):1759-1762.   Published online December 15, 1996
Tracheal agenesis is the rare and uniformly lethal anomaly that presents with severe respiratory distress and aphonia after birth. In this anomaly, the trachea is usually absent and air is reaching the bronchi through a communication with the esophagus. The diagnosis should be suspected in a nowborn infant with respiratory distress whose intubation is difficult. We report an autopy case of tracheal...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1991;34(3):426-434.   Published online March 31, 1991
Infants & children with hypothyrodism usually manifest variable skeletal abnormality. These features are the delay in longitudinal bone growth, the delay in epiphyseal maturation (=delay in bone age), the disturbances in bone mineralization and charateristic multiple stippled epiphysis (cretenoid epiphyseal dysgenesis). But many pediatrician have only concerned about the delay in epiphyseal maturation. Epiphyseal dysgenesis can be used a marker to find out the begining...

Unilateral lung agenesis is a rare disease with associated anomalies of soft tissue, the musculos- keletal system, cardiovascular system and gastrointestinal system in 50-60% of cases. When associat- ed anomalies are absent, the disease may not be discovered during a lifetime, but in most of the cases, frequent respiratory infection or associated anomalies make it possible for diagnosis of the disease. Since early diagnosis...

The syndrome of Mixed Gonadal Dysgenesis is characterized by a unilateral testis, usually intra- abdominal a streak gonad on contralateral side, persistent Mullerian structures and ambiguous genitalia. These patients are chromatin negative and exhibit XO/XY mosaicism, probably resulting from a cytogenetic error very early in embryogenesis. The testis and the streak gonad should be removed because of the potential devlopement of a gonadoblastoma and the virilization...

Osteogenesis imperfecta is an inherited disorder of connective tissue that affects the skeleton, ligament, skin, sclerae and dentin. It is thought to be characterized by the abnormal maturation of collagen in both mineralized and nonmineralized tissues. The three major clinical criteria are osteoporosis with abnormal fragility of the skeleton, blue sclerae and dentinogenesis imperfecta. The presence of two of these abnormalities confirms the diagnosis. We have...
