To evaluate the efficacy of the Transcutaneous Minolta Bilirubinometer in neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, the value of serum bilirubin measured by alkali azo bilirubin method and American optical biliribinometry were compared with the reading of transcutaneous bilirubinometer in 86 fullterm newborns. The following results were obtained: 1)The Transcutaneous Minolta Bilirubinometer was assessed to have the objective value in determining the severity of hyperbilirubinemia... |
Mean, standard deviation, range and the 10〜 90 percentiles of skeletal maturity scores by the method of Tanner et al in Korean 13- to 17-year-old adolescence were tabled and figured. |
To evaluate the effect of Epidemic Encephalitis vaccine, the authors compared vaccinated group with non-vaccinated group at the point of morbidity, sequelae and mortality in Cho- nnam area, 1982. 551,660 children(43.4%) out of the total 1,270,669 children who aged 3 to 15 year old were vaccinated, and vaccinated history was confirmed 179 only out of the total 647 Epide- mic Encephalitis patients. The results were summaried... |
Mortality rate of Neonatal tetanus was assessed in 198 casss out of 219 patients during 10 years(1970~1979) according to the amounts of administered antitoxin dosages in a prospective and randomized trial.

Hemangioma associated with thrombocytopenia is a relatively rare occurrence. The first case was described in 1940 by Kasabach and Merritt, who used X-ray therapy as radium implants in the treatment of hemangioma on the affected infant. The tumor regressed and the platelet count rose to normal. Mechanical sequestration of platelets in the vascular channels of the hemangioma is believed to be the mechanism of... |
Protein, and essential nutrient for the growth of children, is the chief nitrogenous substant in the serum of humans. For the purpose of establishment of the normal data for evaluation of nitrogen balance, we examined the serum levels of urea nitrogen, creatinine, uric acid and serum amylase activity as well as that of protein in 560 normal school children. The... |

The patient was treated under the impression of tuberculous lymphadenitis without any improvement. A surgical biopsy of the lymph node and... |
To evaluate the hepatotoxicity of RMP in tuberculous children during treatment, liver function tests were performed regularly in 40 children who visited or admitted in Chonnam University Medical School Hospital and Mok-po Children's Tuberculosis Hospital from January 1979 to August 1980. The subjects were divided into three groups according to the administered regimens which were INH+EMB or PAS, INH+RMP(10??15mg/kg) and... |
Forty-Five cases of Shigellosis were treated with Ampicillin, TMP/SMX and Rifampin from April 1980. to November 1980. Of the 18 strains of shigellae, in-vitro sensitivity test was performed against twelve antimicrobial agents. The percentage of resistant strains was 77.8% in Ampicillin and 100% in TMP/SMX. Inhibition zone diameter by Rifampin disc was 8~10mm in all cases and clinical improvement with... |
Nitroblue Tetrazolium (NBT) dye can be reduced to water insoluble formazan by peripheral neutrophils during phagocytosis.
