Diagnostic Value of 99mTc-DMSA Renal Scan for Early Diagnosis of Acute Pyelonephritis in Children with Febrile Urinary Tract Infection
Soo Ja Hwang, Eun Ae Park, Jeong Wan Seo, Seung Joo Lee, Sun Whan Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1996;39(11):1586-1593.   Published online November 15, 1996
Purpose : For prevention of renal scar, early diagnosis and treatement of acute pyelonephritis are important in children with febrile urinary tract infection. But it has been difficult to differentiate acute pyelonephritis from lower urinary tract infection. We have performed this study to evaluate the diagnostic value of 99mTc-DMSA renal scan and to clarify the relationship among acute pyelonephritis, vesico-ureteral reflux and renal scar. Methods...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1996;39(7):934-942.   Published online July 15, 1996
Purpose : Varicella is mild self limited disease with vesicular skin eruption but highly contagious and accompanied many complications. Especially, varicella is fatal in leukemic children and immunocompromised children. The live varicella zoster virus was first developed by Takahashi et al. in the 1974. This vaccine has now been licensed for general use in Europe and the United States as well as in Korea.. The...
Serum IgE Standardized for Age in Korean Children and Its Diagnostic Reliability in Childhood Asthma
Myung Su Lee, Eun Sun Yoo, Hye Sun Kim, Eun Ae Park, Jeong Wan Seo, Seung Joo Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1996;39(3):397-403.   Published online March 15, 1996
Purpose : IgE was identified by Ishizaka as an antibody that is reacted at Type I hypersensitivity reaction, and has been used in the diagnosis of allergic disease and the differential diagnosis of extrinsic and intrinsic asthma. But there was some confusing in the diagnosis because of the broad range of measured serum IgE. Recently it was reported that serum IgE...

A Case of Meckel-Gruber Syndrome
Hye Jin Lee, Eun Ae Park, Gyoung Hee Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1995;38(9):1299-1303.   Published online September 15, 1995
We report a case of male neonate that showed multiple congenital anomalies that could be designated as Meckel-Gruber syndrome. The principle signs of Meckel-Gruber syndrome are encephaolcelem, polydactly, and polycystic kidneys with normal karyotype. Due to rarity of the Meckel-Gruber syndrome, the cause was still unknown. At present, autosomal recessive is thought to be as one of the causes. This malformation...

Natural Anti-PRP Antibody Levels to Haemophilus Influenzae Type b(Hib) and Changes of Antibody Levels after Three Doses of Vacination
Eun Sun Yoo, Eun Ae Park, Gyoung Hee Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1995;38(9):1201-1209.   Published online September 15, 1995
Purpose : The Haemophilus influenzae type b(Hib) was the most common cause of meningitis and invasive bacterial disease mainly in children 2 months to 5 years old in the United States. The conjugated Hib vaccines have recently been licensed by the US Food and Drug Administration for routine use in infants beginning at 2 months of age, and the Infectious...
Riboflavin Status of Normal Newborn Infants and the Changes of Riboflavin During Phototherapy in Hyperbilirubinemic Newborn Newborn Infants
Eun Ae Park, Gyoung Hee Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1995;38(9):1185-1192.   Published online September 15, 1995
Purpose : Riboflavin is the most important water soluble vitamin in infant nutrition. Riboflavin is converts to flavin mononucleotide (FMN), Flavin adenine dinucleotide(FAD) and then, participiates in the metabolism of energy, protein cellular oxidation-reduction reactions as a cofactor of reactions. Also riboflavin, a light sensitive vitamin, has a maximum absorption spectrum at a wave length similar to that at which...
Diagnostic Value of Stable Microbubble Rating test and Efficacy of Surfactant Replacement Therapy in Neonates with Respiratory Distres syndroems
Jeong Hee Kim, Eun Ae Park, Kyung Hee Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1995;38(6):760-770.   Published online June 15, 1995
Purpose : Stable microbubble rating test(SMR) plays an important role in the clinical course and the prognosis of respiratory distress syndrome(RDS) patients, because SMR can be easily performed and it can predict quickly the neonatal RDS. After the success of the pulmonary surfactant replacement therapy in RDS infants by Fujiwara and co-workers in 1980, many supporting studies were presented and...

Laryngotracheoesophageal Cleft Type III A Report of 1 Case
Myung Su Lee, Young Eun Lee, Eun Ae Park, Gyoung Hee Kim, Eun Chul Chung, Hac Soo Gyu
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1995;38(5):719-724.   Published online May 15, 1995
Laryngotracheoesophageal cleft is rare congenital anomaly due to failure of fusion of the e sophagus and the larynx. We experienced 1 case of larygotracheoesophageal cleft type III in neonate which was confirmed by autopsy. One day of age male newborn infant with grunting, retraction, and copious secretion canofirm diagnosis as laryngotracheoesophageal cleft type Ill by several radiographic studies and sutopsy. Brief review and...

Dermatophagoides Farinae Specific IgG-Subclass Antibody in Allergic Children
Young Mi Hong, Kyung Hyo Kim, Eun Ae Park, Gyoung Hee Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1993;36(10):1651-1358.   Published online October 15, 1993
For determining the distribution of specific IgE and IgG-subclass antibodies and their role in allergic disorders, we measured the serum levels of specific IgG-subclass and IgE antibodies to Dermatophagoides farinae(Df) on 60 atopic children, aged between 8 to 12. All of them had positive skin test to Df, and was grouped into three: children with asthma only (group 1), with...
The Changes of Fetal Hemoglobin in Preterm and Small for Gestational Age Newborn Infants
Eun Ae Park, Gyoung Hee Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1993;36(7):919-927.   Published online July 15, 1993
The fetal hemoglobin, which is structurally different from adult hemoglobin, has higher affinity for oxygen and higher resistance to denaturation with alkali than adult hemoglobin. Intrauterine growth retarded neonates have highter mortality and morbidity than normal neonates. In this article, to determine the changes of fetal hemoglobin by gestational age in infants appropriate in wieght for gestational age (AGA) and to...
A case of posterior urethral valve of the newborn.
Eun Ae Park, Gyoung Hee Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1991;34(10):1439-1445.   Published online October 31, 1991
Posterior urethral valve is the most common obstructive abnormality in male children affecting both kidneys and likely arise from maldevelopment of the mesonephric duct. We have experienced a case of posterior urethral valve with urinary ascites in 10/365 year old male neonate. Abdominal distension, oligouria, and azotemia were improved by urinary catheterization. Pelvo-ureterostomy operation was done, and this case had excellent results with much...
A case of neonatal systemic candidiasis.
Eun Ae Park, Gyoung Hee Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1991;34(9):1286-1293.   Published online September 30, 1991
Systemic infection with Candida albicans in very premature infants is frequently fatal or associated with significant morbidity in survivors. Several common practices in newborn intensive care units, such as insertion of indwelling catheters, provision of parenteral nutrition, and prolonged administra- tion of broad-spectrum antibiotics or aminophylline, are associated with an increased risk of systemic disease. We have experienced a case of systemic candidiasis in 1/365...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1991;34(8):1086-1092.   Published online August 31, 1991
The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between improvement of pulmonary, function and diuresis in respiratory distress syndrome. This study was based on 24 cases of RDS infants admitted in NICU of Ewha Womans University from January 1988 to December 1990. The results were as follows. 1) Mean birth weight of study cases was 2.11 kg with gestational age between 29〜39 weeks. 2) Maximum...

Hoo Jae Hann, Eun Ae Park, Kyung Hee Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1990;33(8):1048-1056.   Published online August 31, 1990
In this prospective study, the relation between the Apgar scores and umbilical arterial pH at birth was assessed. 314 newborns of gestational age 24 to 42 weeks were included in this study； (95 were preterm and 219 were full-term) The l and 5-minute Apgar scores were directly related to gestational age. In preterm babies, the Apgar scores tend to be low in spite...
