There is continuing interest in the isotype response of human serum antibodies reactive with dietary proteins. This study was performed to clarify the humoral immune responses against cow’s milk proteins, 分-lactoglobulin and a-lactalbumin. Milk protein specific IgG, IgA, IgM, and IgG subclasses were measured using ELISA in the blood of various groups of age. The results were as follows: 1) Milk protein specific immunoglobulins were higher... |
Anomalies of the inferior vena cava (IVC) are often discovered incidentally during imaging studies performed for other reasons, since patients with these abnormalities are usually asymptomatic. Infrahepatic interruption of the IVC with azygos or hemiazygos continuation is an unusual anomaly of the IVC. We report a case of single left-sided IVC with hemiazygos continuation in associated with patent ductus arteriosus and left superior vena cava.... |
Subependymal giant-cell astrocytoma is a rare cerebral glioma that characteristically arises in the wall of the lateral ventricle and presents as an intraventricular mass, causing hydrocephalus by obstruction of the foramen of Monro. The tumor mainly occurs in patients with tuberous sclerosis and is slow growing and well circumscribed, so that long survival after total surgical resection is often achieved. We experienced a cas^ of... |
The antiumor antibiotic adriamycin is presently considered to be a very effctive and useful chemotherapeutic agent in the treatment of many human tumors. Cardiotoxicity of adriamycin limits its clinical use. A number of hypotheses have been proposed to explain the mechanism of cardiotox- icity with adriamycin, but none has yet been demonstrated. The effects of adriamycin on twitch force and membrane potential in an... |
Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis is an atypical form of severe chronic renal parenchymal infection, which can be mistaken for tumor or other inflammatory renal disease due to similar clinical manifestations. This disease was classified into three stages based on the extent of involvement of renal and adjacent tissue by the xanthogranulomatous process. In stage I (nephric), the characteristic xantho- granulomatous inflammatory process is confined to the kidney. The... |
The present study was performed to define the prevalene of asymptomatic hematuria, proteinuria,and glucosuria. A total of 5011 primary school children in Chonju city were examined with test strip urinalysis during the period of one month from June to July 1989. Test strip (Hema-Combistix) was used in this examination. The results were as. follows: 1) Prevalence of hematuria, proteinuria and glucosuria were 0.8% (40 children), 0.78%... |
The improvement in survival for childhood cancer has been achieved through the use of multiple- agent chemotherapy and radiotherapy. However, one of the limitations to quality and length of survival has been the development of second malignant neoplasm. We exprienced a case of second malignant neoplasm in 13-year-old boy who developed osteogenic sarcoma after successful treatment of retinoblastoma. At 3 years of his age,... |
The definite diagnosis and precise assessment of response to therapy is still a problem in childhood tuberculosis because these patients rarely produce sputum and if obtained it may be negative. For this reason, diagnosis rely largely on the clinical and X-ray examination, which have a low specificity and high proportion of false positive results. Recently immunologic diagnosis of tuberculosis using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was... |
It is not yet possible to explain in detail the pathogenesis of the diverse types of food allergy encountered clinically. This generalization applies to milk allergy in spite of the large number of studies reporting the immune responses to cow’s milk proteins, both in healthy subjects and in milk sensitive patients. This study was performed to define the changes of circulating immunoglobulins against milk protein... |
One of the inherent features of clinical microbiology is that substantial time is required for the culture of infectious organisms. Especially acid fast bacilli require extensive time and labaratory facilities for reliable recovery. This makes it difficult for clinicians to use the results in early decisions concerning management of the patient. For these reasons, there has been increasing interest in developing or refining methods... |
Pulmonary and aortic valvular stenosis were relieved by percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty during cardiac catheterization on 14 children aged 22 months to 18 years. Before dilatation the transpulmonary systolic pressure gradients ranged from 43 mmHg (mean 87. 8 mmHg) in children with pulmonary valvular stenosis. There were significant reduction in the transpulmonary systolic pressure gradient (mean 33.1 mmHg) immediately after balloon valvuloplas- ty except one patient... |
Human atrial myocytes secrete atrial natriuretic peptides (ANP) into the plasma, which causes rapid and marked natriuresis, diuresis and vasorelaxation. The releases of renin, aldosterone, and antidiuretic hormone are inhibited by ANP in vivo and in vitro experiments. Various atrial natriur- etic peptides were isolated and synthesized. Plasma ANP concentrations usually elevated in conges- tive heart failure, chronic renal failure, pulmonary arterial hypertension, tachyarrhythmia,... |

The results were as follows; 1) Cord sera DLS... |
It has been suggested that the effect of catecholamine administered into the renal artery on the plasma renin activity may be controlled by extrarenal beta-receptor. Still the exact mechanism responsible for the increase of the plasma renin activity by catecholamines is obscure. In this experiment I have intended to clarify the involvement of extrarenal beta-receptor concerning renin release in the... |
One of the most frequently used anesthetics in the laboratory or clinical practice is barbiturate derivatives. There have been many reports on the renal effects of barbiturate anesthesia, but they still controversial. It has been reported that the central administration of very small dose of thiopental sodium influence the renal function directly. To compare possible different renal effects of the... |
