Do Hyeon Kim, Jin A Lee, Sung Jae Lee, Heui Seung Jo, Yun Kyoung Lee, June Dong Park, Beyong Il Kim, Jung-Hwan Choi, Dong Soon Lee, Han Ik Cho, Kyung Ran Park
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2001;44(6):699-704.   Published online June 15, 2001
Congenital methemoglobinemia is caused by NADH-methemoglobin reductase deficiency in more than half of the total reported cases. NADH-methemoglobin reductase deficiency is an uncommon hereditary disorder producing methemoglobinemia and cyanosis in the homozygous subject. A majority of the patients born with these abnormalities have only a cosmetic defect-asymptomatic cyanosis. Congenital methemoglobinemia due to NADH-methemoglobin reductase deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder...

The Efficacy of Fetal Ultrasonography and Postnatal Abdominal Ultrasonography for the Diagnosis of Neonatal Abdominal Mass
Hee Eun Lee, Ee Kyung Kim, Hee Seok Kim, Yun Kyoung Lee, Chan Hwu Park, Kyung Ran Park, June Dong Park, Beyong Il Kim, Woong Heum Kim, Jung Hwan Choi, Gui Won Park, Hwang Choi, Yong Choi, Chong Ku Yun
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(3):299-306.   Published online March 15, 1998
Purpose : Most neonatal abdominal masses are benign in nature, but early detection and management is important to avoid the development of complications. So, we studied the causes of neonatal abdominal masses and the efficacy of ultrasonography for early detection and diagnosis. Methods : We reviewed 36 newborn infants with abdominal masses who had been admitted to the nursery and Neonatal...
Influence of Phototherapy on Incidence of Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Very Low Birth W eight Infants
Hee Seok Kim, Ee Kyung Kim, Yun Kyoung Lee, Hee Eun Lee, Chan Hwu Park, Kyung Ran Park, Jun Dong Park, Beyong Il Kim, Woong Heum Kim, Jung-Hwan Choi, Yong Su Yun, Chong Ku Yun, Jeong Mi Lee

Purpose : Patent ductus arteriosus(PDA) is a common disease in very low birth weight infants(VLBWI). Hemodynamically significant PDA increases the morbidity and mortality of premature infants. Based on experimental model, light inhibits the constriction of immature piglet' s ductal rings. No specific mechanism adequately explains the effect of light on the relaxation of PDA. Several hypotheses, including activation of photosensitive metabolites, alterations in receptors, or...

A Pediatric Case of MELAS Syndrome Associated with Insulin-dependent Diabetes Mellitus
Kyung Ran Park, Hye Won Park, Tae Sung Ko, Hae Il Cheong, Sei Won Yang, Young Seung Hwang, In Won Kim, Je Geun Chi
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1996;39(10):1461-1465.   Published online October 15, 1996
MELAS(mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and sroke like episodes) is a major subgroup of heterogeneous mitochondrial encephalopathy. Recent advances in molecular genetics revealed specific mutations in the mitochondrial DNA causing MELAS. We described clinical and molecular genetic findings of a 13-year-old boy with MELAS syndrome associated IDDM(insulin dependent diabetes mellitus). For molecular genetic studies, DNAs from peripheral blood nucleated cells were used. And the A→G...
A Case Report of Autoimmune Hepatitis Associated with Choledochal Cyst and Pancreatitis
Kyung Ran Park, Sun Young Lee, Soon Young Kim, Hyoung Shim Chang, Nam Su Back, Chong Jai Kim, Joong Gon Kim, Jeong Kee Seo
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1996;39(8):1146-1150.   Published online August 15, 1996
Autoimmune hepatitis in children is a rare and severe inflammatory disease of unknown etiology, and progress to cirrohosis and liver failure, generally is responsive to immunosuppressive therapy. It is more prevalent in women than men, and characterized by the presence of circulating autoantibodies, a high serum globulin. Extrahepatic manifestations such as thyroiditis, ulcerative colitis, glomerulonephritis and autoimmune hemolytic anemia, are associated. We report, to our...
Isolated Splenic Infarction in a Girl with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Kyung Ran Park, Hee Eun Lee, Yun Ae Jeon, Il Soo Ha, Hae Il Cheong, Joong Gon Kim, Yong Choi
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1996;39(4):562-566.   Published online April 15, 1996
Splenic infarction is a rare disease and usually detected as a complication of SBE, atrial fibrillation, hemoglobinopathy, or myeloproliperative disorders. Although thrombotic event, such as deep vein, cerebral or renal thrombosis, is a frequent complication of SLE, there have been only a couple of cases documenting splenic infarction complicated in SLE. This is, to our knowledge, the first case report...
