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...

Evaluation of the Serum Erythropoietin Levels in Neonates
Soo Young Kweon, Gyoung Hee Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1993;36(1):67-72.   Published online January 15, 1993
Erythropoietin is the major hormonal regulator of erythropoiesis. It is controlled by many factors induct=ing hypoxia in tissue. The serum erythropoietin levels of neonates have shown gradual decrease untill 1 month of age. Which they are reactivated in the period of pysiologic anemia. This change is exaggerated if the neonates are born prematurely, and the levels of erythropoietin respond to...

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...

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...
