J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1994;37(2):157-166.   Published online February 15, 1994
We had previously reported the purification of bovine lung natural surfactant-phospholoipd (PNS-L) and the assessment of it's surface physical properties in vitro. To observe the clinical effectiveness of PNS-L in vivo, the degree of improvement of thoracic pressure-volume, compliance and histological changes following PNS-L instillation in premature rabbits with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) were investigated. Rabbits, delivered prematurely by cesarean section...

We analysed retrospectively pharmacokinetic parameters of gentamicin and amikacin in 44 and 58 Korean pediatric patients, respectively, with normal renal function. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated from two concentrations in serum by method of Sawchuck. There was wide individual variation in peak serum concentrations of gentamicin and amikacin. Administration of the usually recommended doses yielded subtherapeutic concentration in 47% and 82%,...
