Chan Ok Park, Boung Yul Lim, Byeong Gie Yeo, Ji Ho Song, Eun Kyung Sohn, Chong Woo Bae, Sa Jun Chung, Chang Il Ahn
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1991;34(9):1211-1222.   Published online September 30, 1991
Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in tiny infants remains a major medical challenge as they are less tolerant of supportive care. In 1959, after identification of the pulmonary surfactant (S), S replacement therapy were used to treat RDS. This idea was first successfully tested on RDS infants by Fujiwara, et. al” in 1980. Now the trial and use of S for the treatment in RDS...
A clinical study on the idiopathic respiratory distress syndrome of the newborn: comparison of radiographic and clinical findings.
Byoung Yul Lim, Chong Woo Bae, Yong Mook Choi, Chang Il Ahn, Sun Wha Lee

Idiopathic respiratory distress syndrome (IRDS) of the newborn remains an important and signifi- cant cause of morbidity and mortality despite of improvement in neonatal care. The clinical and radiologic features observed are the results of surfactant deficiency combined with a highly compliant chest wall. We have been applied the clinical and radiologic features in the diagnosis of IRDS. In 1974, Bomsel et al reported the...
Thyroid function Study in Respiratory distress Syndrome.
Sung Soo Kong, Mi Young Chung, Dong Hyunk Kum

It has been known that intrauterine thyroid hormone deficiency may be one of the factors predis- posing to RDS in premature infants. L-thyroxine has been shown to increase the production opf lung surfactant, widely accepted as deficient in RDS infants, as association between lung immaturity and fetal thyroid function is postulated. The authors investigated thyroid hormone concentration at birth and 5, 15 days of...
Cord Blood Insulin Concentration in Premature Neonates with Respiratory Distress Syndrome.
Soo Jung Keum, Rak Won Choi, Mi Youn Chung, Dong Hyuck Kum
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1989;32(10):1402-1407.   Published online October 31, 1989
Insulin seems to exert an inhibitory effect on lung maturation. The incidence of respiratory distress syndrome in neonates of diabetic mothers is significantly greater than that observed in age-and weight-matched controls. Thus hyperinsulinemia may be an important factor in the developemnt of RDS. We investigated the relationship between cord blood insulin concentration and subsequent develop- ment of RDS in 32 premature neonates born at Koryo...
Clinical Application of Shake test od Gastric Aspiretes for the Prediction od Respiratory Distress Syndrome in the Newborn infants.

To study the predictive value of gastric aspirates shake test on respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in the newborn infants, we carried out the shake test on gastric aspirates of all newborn who admitted to NICU of Seoul National University Hospital from July 1986 to December 1987. We successfully carried out gastric aspirates shake test on 96 newborn infants and analyzed the relation between gastric...
Respiratory Distress Syndrome of the New born Infants and Complications of Pregnancy.
Yoon Joo Choi, Eun Ai Lee, Seung Joo Lee, Keun Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1983;26(2):118-123.   Published online February 28, 1983
A group of 514 newborn infants with gestational ages between 28 weeks and 36 weeks were studied for the influence of pronolonged rupture of amniotic membranes and maternal hype- rtension. during pregnancy on. the incidence of Idiopathic Respiratory Distress Syndrome (IRDS). The incidence of IRDS in. complicated pregnancy is that significantly lower than in the control groups. (8.9% vs 18.8%, p<0.05) The occurence of...
Form Stability Test on Gastric Aspirate and Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Newborn Baby.
Byung Do Nam
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1981;24(5):437-444.   Published online May 15, 1981
Form stability test on gastric aspirate was performed on 102 cases of newborn within 30 minutes afterbirth, who were admitted to Special Care Unit of St. Benedict Hospital from Sep. 1977 to Aug. 1979, and following results were obtained. 1) There was no differnce between amniotic fluid and gastric aspirate in control group. 2) In all newborn infants with positive...
