Three Cases of Necrotizing Lymphadenitis in Childhood
Seong Hoon Hah, Dong Woon Shin, Kyung Hee Lee, Tae Sun Ha, Beom Soo Park, Heon Seok Han, Sang-Hoon Cha, Geon Kook Lee
Accepted January 1, 1970  
Necrotizing lymphadenitis(named as "Kikuchi disease"), initially described by a Japanese pathologist as "a histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis with paracortical necrosis, plasmacytoid monocytes infiltration and prominent phagocytic appearance" has been found worldwide. Be-cause of its self-limited course, it has been well known that what should be considered as more important issues are its deatiled pathologic criteria for confirmation and thorough concern about...

DCRV may be associated with other congenital cardiac anomalies and surgical treatment is required because we know that this obstruction is progressive. In this report, we reviewed clinically...
Studies on Mechanism of Vascular Hyporeactivity of Mesenteric Artery from Septic Rats
Man Chul Ha, Hee Ju Park, Ki Whan Hong
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1995;38(7):922-935.   Published online July 15, 1995
Purpose : Septic shock due to gram negative bacterial infection is characterized by vasodil-ation, hypotension, and myocardial depression due to the effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). In spite of extensive studies, the mechanisms for the vascular effects of endotoxemia are not clear. Recently, it has been proposed that nitric oxide (NO) synthesized from L-arginine by nitric oxide synthase contributes to the...

Effects of Cyclosporine on the Renal Sympathetic Nerve Activity and Baroreflex Function in Rabbits
Chan Uhng Joo, Tae Hee Park, Moon Hwan Lee, Jung Soo Kim
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1995;38(7):955-962.   Published online July 15, 1995
Purpose : The immunosuppresive drug cyclosporine(CS) is a novel agent that has greatly enhanced long-term survival after organ transplantation and has proved beneficial in the treat-ment of many autoimmune diseases. However, CS has emerged as a new cause of hypertens-ion. Although the causes of the hypertension are undoubtedly multifactorial, there are evidenc-es to suggest that sympathetic overactivity is involved. We...
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin Levels in Children with Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus
Duk Hi Kim, Mi Jung Park, Ho Sung Kim
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1995;38(7):963-969.   Published online July 15, 1995
Purpose : Sex hormone binding globulin(SHBG) is produced in liver and binds to testostero-ne and estradiol. Plasma SHBG levels are increased by estrogen and thyrotoxicosis and decreased by testostrone, insulin, growth hormone, prolactin, obesity and noninsulin dependent diabetes mellitus. SHBG levels in patients with NIDDM is known to be higher than normal, but SHBG levels in children with IDDM is controversial....

The disseminated form has clinical similarities with mycosis fungoides and histologically characteri-sed by prominent infiltration of cytologically atypical mononuclear cells within a hyperplastic epidermis. It is suggested that the infiltrating cells orginate from T-lymphocytes. A 6yr old male patient visited with...

J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1995;38(7):1006-1011.   Published online July 15, 1995
Pneumoperitoneum in the newborn is usually a surgical emergency resulting from gastroint-estinal perforation. However, pneumoperitoneum can occur secondary to a pulmonary air leak which progresses from the mediastinum to the retroperitoneum by way of perivascular spaces and then to the peritoneum following rupture. We have observed this phenomenon in three ventilated newborn. A brief review of the related literatures was...

Chronic pancreatitis is a rare problem in childhood and sometimes shows pancreatic calcif-ication. The most common symptom is chronic recurrent upper abdominal pain, with waves of crampy pain that increase in severity, with or without associated nausea or vomiting. Although the diagnosis is made or considered infrequently hereditary or other metabolic factors, the cau-se remains largely idiopathic. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP)...
