The Prevalence of A985G Mutation in Medium Chain Acyl-Coenzyme A Dehydrogenase(MCAD) Gene in Neonates Determined from Guthrie Card
Baeck Hee Lee, Hye Won Park, Moon Soo Park, Ho Jin Park, Yong Choi, Hae Il Cheong
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1997;40(12):1645-1650.   Published online December 15, 1997
Purpose : Medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase(MCAD) deficiency is an autosomal recessive disoder of β oxidation of fatty acids and characterized by episodic hypoglycemia, vomiting, convulsion, encephalopathy, apnea, and sudden death related to fasting or infection resembling Reye syndrome or sudden infant death syndrome. In acute stage, mortality rate is very high and survivors have significant risk of developmental disability and chronic somatic illness. However,...
The Significance of Increased Circulating Intercellular Adhesion Molecule 1(cICAM-1) in Neonatal Sepsis
Hai Lee Chung, Eun Jung Park, Young Ho An, Jin Bok Hwang, Chang Ho Han, Young Dae Kwon, Sang Gyoung Kim
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1997;40(12):1651-1659.   Published online December 15, 1997
Purpose : The early and efficient diagnosis of neonatal sepsis still remains a difficult task. Reliable laboratory test is not available yet and treatment is mainly based on the physical appearance of infants. And high number of negative blood cultures in cases of clinically diagnosed sepsis further emphasize the need for a more reliable index for early diagnosis. Intercellular adhesion molecule 1(ICAM-1) has been...
The Espression of Fcγ Receptors and Mac-1 in Cord and Adult Blood Monocytes and Lymphocytes and Production of Interleukin-8 by Cord and Adult Blood Mononeuclear Cells Stimulated by Lipopolysacchride
Kyung Hyo Kim, Gyoung Hee Kim
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1997;40(12):1660-1669.   Published online December 15, 1997
Purpose : The immature neonatal immune system is thought to result in increased risk of infection. Receptors for the Fcmoiety of IgG(FcγR) are important in antibodymediated clearance of microbes by monocytes/macrophages and immune regulation in lymphocytes. As an approach to understanding their role in neonatal life, we have compared the constitutive expression of the three Fc receptors-FcγRI(CD64), FcγRII(CD32) and FcγRIII(CD16)-by neonatal and adult blood monocytes...

Purpose : Accurate diagnosis and prompt treatment of infection with Streptococcus pyogenes (group A streptococci) is required as it may cause many complications, and chronic serious sequelae, acute rheumatic fever and acute glomerulonephritis. Recently, the assay methods of ASO concentration tend to be changed into quantitatively from semi-quantitative or qualitative methods in this country. We would like to know relationships and degree of concurrences between...

Purpose : Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) may provide more definite diagnosis, preoperative guidance, and endoscopic therapy in many children with known or suspected disorders of the pancreas and biliary tract. But the reports about the ERCP in children are rare, so this study is conducted to evaluate the indication, efficacy and safety of the ERCP in children. Methods : Twenty nine ERCPs in 19 children...
Follow-Up Study of Urinary Tract Infection Associated with Vesicoureteral Reflux
Do Whan Kil, Jea Eun Lee, Wan Seob Kim
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1997;40(12):1692-1700.   Published online December 15, 1997
Purpose : Vesicoureteral reflux(VUR) is the major cause of urinary tract infection (UTI) in children. Prolonged untreated UTI associated with VUR may result in serious complications, such as renal scarring, renal atropy, and decreased renal function. Therefore, follow up must be continued until UTI is cured completely, to prevent of serious complication. The authors conducted this study to evaluate results of the follow-up of...

J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1997;40(12):1719-1724.   Published online December 15, 1997
Background : Gene transfer with vectors derived from murine retroviruses is restricted to cells which are proliferating and synthesizing DNA at the time of infection. Accordingly, selective introduction of genes encoding for susceptibility to otherwise nontoxic drugs(suicide genes) into proliferating tumor may be used to treat cancer. We investigated the efficacy of in vitro transduction of neuroblastoma cell with the herpes simplex-thymidine kinase(HSV-tk) gene followed...
