Expression of AQP-4 in Developing Rat Stomach : An Immunohistochemical Study
Seung Il Kim
Accepted January 1, 1970  
Purpose : AQP-4 is restricted to basolateral membranes of parietal cells located in the gastric glandular base. Whereas, there is no AQP-4 immunoreactivity in the parietal cells of isthmus/neck region of gastric gland. Expression of AQP-4 in parietal cells might be related with the functional differentiation and maturation of parietal cells. The purpose of this study was to establish the...

J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1998;41(12):1650-1659.   Published online December 15, 1998
Purpose : This study was performed to observe the utilization of ultrasonography in locating the position of UAC and to compare the position with anatomical landmarks seen on radiography. Methods : Optimal position is when the catheter tip is located between T6-T10 or L3-L5 by anteroposterior radiography(AP-R) and above the diaphragm by cross-table lateral radiography(CTL-R). Ultrasonographic studies used a Hewlett Packard...

J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1998;41(12):1675-1684.   Published online December 15, 1998
Purpose : Most of childhood MCNS has a long disease course with frequent relapses. This study was designed to analyze the long-term clinical course of childhood MCNS, focusing at relapsing pattern, treatment response and complications. Mothods : The medical records of 137 children with biopsy-proven MCNS observed during 1976 ti 1996 were analyzed retrospectively. They were classified as initial responders(111 patients,...
The Effect of Low-Dose Dopamine on the Renal Function of Asphyxiated Neonates
Seung Yeon Nam, Eun Ae Par, Seung Joo Lee
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1998;41(12):1685-1692.   Published online December 15, 1998
Purpose : Low-dose dopamine(0.5-3μg/kg/min) increases renal blood flow, glomerular filtration rate and natriuresis and has protective and therapeutic effects on oliguric renal failures. Asphyxia is the most common cause of acute renal failure in neonates. But the protective effects of dopamine have never been reported in asphyxiated neonates. So we reported the effects of low-dose dopamine on the renal function...

June Huh, Il Soo Ha, Hae Il Cheong, Jeong Kee Seo, Yong Choi
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1998;41(12):1693-1699.   Published online December 15, 1998
Purpose : This study was aimed to assess the clinical manifestations and courses of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease(ARPKD). Methods : The medical records of 10 children diagnosed as infantile or juvenile ARPKD at Seoul National University Children's Hospital between January, 1984 and December, 1996, were reviewed, retrospectively.

Case Reports
A Case of Intracoronary Collaterals Misinterpreted as Segmental Stenosis in Kawasaki Disease - Descriptive Method of Coronary Arterial Lesions -
Hee-Sun Chung, Young-Yoo Kim, Seung-Il Kim, Jong-Wan Kim, yung-Tai Whang
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1998;41(12):1709-1716.   Published online December 15, 1998
Visualization of coronary collaterals in coronary arteriography performed in vivo constitutes an important finding, and particularly in the presence of coronary artery disease, it allows observations related to the hemodynamic consequences of the disease process. Undoubtedly, the presence of collateral flow indicates that a compensatory mechanism has developed to ameliorate the detrimental effect of blood flow cessation due to obstruction...

Seon Chan Bae, Eun Ha Lee, Moon Sung Park, Si Houn Hah, Chang Ho Hong
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1998;41(12):1717-1721.   Published online December 15, 1998
Crouzon syndrome, an autosomal dominant disorder, has characteristic features of craniosynostosis, hypertelorism, exophthalmos, maxillary hypoplasia and relative mandibular prognathism. Mutations of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2(FGFR2) gene are associated with craniosynostotic conditions, such as Crouzon syndrome, Jackson-Weiss syndrome, Pfeiffer syndrome, Apert syndrome and Beare-Stevenson cutis gyrata. We found one child with common morphological features of Crouzon syndrome. Interestingly, she...

In severely affected patients, repeated hemarthroses, chronic crippling hemarthropathy, and dangerous hematomas can occur. Other types of hemorrhage include epistaxis, menorrhagia, hematuria, gastrointestinal and gingival bleeding. Fetal cerebral hemorrhage...
