So Hyun Park, Dae Hyun Lim, Byong Kwan Son, Jeong Hee Kim, Young Eun Song, In Bo Oh, Yang Ho Kim, Keun Hwa Lee, Su Young Kim, Sung Chul Hong
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2012;55(9):322-329.   Published online September 14, 2012
Purpose

Aeroallergens are important causative factors of allergic diseases. Previous studies on aeroallergen sensitization rates investigated patients groups that had visited pediatric allergy clinics. In contrast, we investigated sensitization rates in a general population group of elementary school to teenage students in Incheon, Jeju, and Ulsan.

Methods

After obtaining parental consent, skin-prick tests were performed on 5,094 students between March and June 2010....

Epidemiology of anaphylaxis in Korean children
Dae Hyun Lim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2008;51(4):351-354.   Published online April 15, 2008
Anaphylaxis is an acute systemic reaction caused by IgE-mediated immunological release of mediators from mast cells and basophils to allergenic triggers, such as food, insect venoms, and medications. An alternative definition was recently proposed as follows: anaphylaxis is a "condition caused by an IgE mediated reaction" that is "often life threatening and almost always unanticipated." The reaction can be severe enough to lead...
Allergic skin test
Byong Kwan Son, Dae Hyun Lim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2007;50(5):409-415.   Published online May 15, 2007
Allergy skin prick test and intradermal test represent one of the major tools in the diagnosis of IgE- mediated diseases like as atopic asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, food and drug allergy, and insect bite when properly performed. Skin tests are of particular importance in fields such as allergen standardization, pharmacology, and epidemiology. Even if skin tests seem easy to...

Airway Remodelling in Asthma
Dae Hyun Lim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2005;48(10):1038-1049.   Published online October 15, 2005
Asthma is characterized by a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways that leads to tissue injury and subsequent structural changes collectively called airway remodelling. Characteristic changes of airway remodelling in asthma include goblet cell hyperplasia, deposition of collagens in the basement membrane, increased number and size of microvessels, hypertrophy and hyperplasia of airway smooth muscle, and hypertrophy of submucosal glands....

Centrinuclear myopathy, an uncommon condition, is one of the congenital myopathies. It is characterized by the presence of central nuclei of muscle cells which can be detected on electronmicroscopy. It is believed to arise as a result of maturational arrest with persistence of microtubes postnatally. We report a boy with generalized hypotonia and muscle weakness who was diagnosed as centrinuclear...

Eui Jeong Min, Dae Hyun Lim, Jung Hee Kim, Seung Won Choi, Byong Kwan Son
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(8):1149-1152.   Published online August 15, 2000
Fixed drug eruption normally presents as single or multiple sharply demarcated erythematous lesions that recur at the same location upon re-exposure to the offending agent. When the acute inflammation subsides, it often leaves residual hyperpigmentation. Commonly implicated substances are phenolphthalein, barbiturates, sulfonamides, tetracyclines, salicylates, gold and pyrazolone derivatives. Despite frequent use of acetaminophen, drug eruptions, especially fixed drug eruptions, due...
