Plasma Somatomedin C Levels in Normal Children
Bo Young Yun, Hoan Jong Lee
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1992;35(11):1493-1500.   Published online November 15, 1992
Somatomedin C, the insulin-like growth factor I is suggested to mediate the growth-promoting effect of growth hormone. Sm-C, mostly bound to plasma protein forming an IGF-I protein complex, is slowly cleared from plasma and thus its plasma concentration is quite constant. A single sampling of blood for Sm-C is sufficient for the measurement of its concentration. For the evaluation of...

Use of a multimodal approach to treatment has resulted in a dramatic improvement. Yonsei Cancer Center in Korea, since it's establishment in 1975, has been a state of multimodal approach. Thirty-seven cases of childhood...
Portal Hypertension in Children
Young Sook Kim, Ki Sup Chung
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1992;35(11):1528-1536.   Published online November 15, 1992
Portal hypertension assumes special interest in children due to the large variety of causes, the apparent difficulty of performing surgical portal systemic shunts because of the small size of vessels, the doubt still cast on the long term tolerance of portal systemic shunts and the theoretical possibility of spontaneous regression of varices with growth. Thirty cases of portal hypertension under...
A Significance of the Sinusitis in Asthma of Chileren
Kyong Og Ko, Young Hun Chung
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1992;35(11):1537-1545.   Published online November 15, 1992
It has long been recognized that sinusitis are commonly associated with asthma. Studies have observe a high coincidence of asthma and sinusitis. Despite observations of thease findings, a direct cause and effect relationship remains to be estabilished. So this study was undertaken to evaluate the relationship of bronchial asthma and sinusitis. 96 asthmatics and 127 non-asthmatic controls in children were taken...

The measurement of serum total cholesterol was made in 1 month to 16 years of age group (total 1505, male 700, female 805) to know the normal value on each age and sex group, and incidence of hypercholesterolemia in children. The results were as follows: 1) Serum total cholesterol levels were 163.12¡¾38.01 mg/dl in male, 165.69¡¾38.24 mg/dl in female, and 164.40¡¾38.12 mg/dl...

Wilson disease is an autosomal recessive abnormality in the hepatic excretion of copper that results in toxic accumulation of the metal in liver, brain, and other organs. Hemolytic anemia frequently complicates the courses of Wilson disease and may be the initial clinical feature of Wilson disease. Since hemolysis may be preceding the onset of hepatic manifestation and Kayser-Fleischer ring is...
A Case of Congenital Pelger-Huet Anomaly

Congenital Pelger-Huet anomaly is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by incomplete nuclear segmentation of neutrophils without functional disturbance. The morphology of these mature but hyposegmented neutrophils may be confused with that of immature neutrophils (bands), thereby suggesting bacterial infection. We experienced a case of congenital Pelger-Huët anomaly on routine hematologic examination in a 7-year old boy who was admitted because of...

J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1992;35(11):1597-1601.   Published online November 15, 1992
Neonatal hydrometrocolopos is a rare congenital anomaly, which is thought to be caused by both vaginal obstruction such as imperforate hymen, transverse vaginal septum or vaginal atresia and sufficient maternal estrogenic stimulation to provoke secretion from the glands in the neonatal reproductive tract. The presence of lower abdominal mass in a female infant should always arouse the suspicion of hydrometrocolpos...
