Kyung Hee Yi
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2008;51(12):1310-1314.   Published online December 15, 2008
Purpose : This study aimed to assess the prevalence of obesity, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia in children from low-income families in Gunpo and to evaluate whether economic status affects the prevalence of obesity. Methods : Between October 2007 and March 2008, 341 children (167 girls and 174 boys; age, 6 to 13 years) were enrolled in this study. All these children came...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2004;47(12):1273-1280.   Published online December 15, 2004
Purposes : A cross-sectional study on serum lipids in school children and adolescents was carried out in two different areas in 2002. We studied to determine of the difference in lipids level of children between urban and rural areas and changes of cholesterol levels compared to those of early- 1990 studies. Methods : A cross-sectional study on serum lipids in school...

A Case of Acute Pancreatitis in a Neuroblastoma Patient after Retinoic Acid Therapy
Yoo Jin Jeong, Yeon Kyong Seo, Heung Sik Kim, Hee Jung Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2003;46(11):1128-1130.   Published online November 15, 2003
Retinoic acid has been used successfully as a differentiating agent in acute promyelocytic leukemia and neuroblastoma. However, some adverse effects have been recognized, such as headaches, dry skin and retinoic acid syndrome, a life threatening acute cardiorespiratory disorder. Acute pancreatitis with hyperlipidemia has rarely been reported. We experienced a case of acute pancreatitis with hyperlipidemia in a neuroblastoma patient after...

Dal Hyun Kim, Tae Jung Seong, Young Jin Hong, Byong Kwan Son, Soon Ki Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2003;46(4):326-334.   Published online April 15, 2003
Purpose : The objectives of this study were to estimate the prevalence of obesity in adolescents; to study the association between obesity, blood pressure, and dyslipidemia; and to evaluate the superiority of waist circumference to waist/hip ratio(WHR) in central obesity. Methods : We selected 1382 adolescents(M : F=690 : 692) aged from 11 to 18 years(mean age; boys 15.0, girls 15.4)...
Risk Factors for Fatty Liver in Obese Children
Ki Won Park, Jong Eun Lee, Kyung Ha Ryu, Kyung Hyo Kim, Young Mi Hong, Gyung Hee Kim, Keun Lee, Jeong Hyun Yoo
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2001;44(6):669-676.   Published online June 15, 2001
Purpose : The incidence of obese patients has increased recently in Korea. Obesity is associated with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, insulin resistance, and fatty liver. Since recent investigators have revealed that not only fat accumulation but also fibrosis and nonspecific hepatitis can be found in the livers of obese children, fatty liver is currently considered as an important complication. The purpose of...
Diagnostic Sensitivity in Predicting Hyperlipidemia by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis in Obese Children
Ji Ah Jung, Hyun Mi Kim,, Young Mi Hong, Gyoung Hee Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(11):1583-1589.   Published online November 15, 1998
Purpose : Childhood obesity is currently on the rise. The complications of childhood obesity are depression, adult obesity, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, coronary artery disease and fatty liver. Therefore, accurate diagnosis of obesity is important. The purpose of this study was to assess diagnostic sensitivity to predict hypelipidemia by bioelectrical impedance analysis(BI) in obese children. Methods : One hundred fifteen healthy...
Predictor of Fatty Liver in Obese Children
Hyunmi Kim, Young Mi Hong, Gyoung-Hee Kim, Jung Hyun Yu
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1996;39(6):803-810.   Published online June 15, 1996
Purpose : The childhood obesity is currently increasing. The childhood obesity is difficult to treat and the response of treatment is transitory because it is caused by the hyperplasia of fatcells. The complications of obesity are hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, artherosclerotic coronary arterial disease and fatty liver. Therefore the early diagnosis and prevention of obesity from childhood is very important. This study...
Hyperlipidemia and Hyperlipoproteinemia in Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis Nephrotic Syndrome.
Heui Jeen Kim, Kwang Wook Ko
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1983;26(10):967-977.   Published online October 31, 1983
Sera obtained from 23 hospitalized patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis nephrotic syndrome which is confirmed by kidney biopsy, were analyzed for serum albumin, serum lipids, 24hr urine protein, creatinine clearance, HDL-cholesterol. In 19 of the patients lipoproteins were analyzed. the following results were obtained. 1) Serum phospholipid (PL) was increased whenever serum total cholesterol (TC) was increased but to a lesser degree. The ratio of TC/PL...
