Heon-Seok Han, Young Jun Song, Miran Kang
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 2000;43(9):1213-1223.   Published online September 15, 2000
Purpose : Cyanotic congenital heart diseases patients are in a state of hypoxia since birth. In general, hypoxia delays atrioventricular conduction. The atrioventricular node in such a hypoxic condition would have a different function, and some possibility for arrhythmia. The authors studied atrioventricular nodal function during hypoxia to elucidate the relationship between hypoxia and arrhythmia, including atrioventricular node in terms...

J Korean Pediatr Soc. 2000;43(9):1232-1240.   Published online September 15, 2000
Purpose : The envelope of HBV consists of three polypeptides which are encoded in pre-S/S open reading frame. Three translation initiation sites are present within this pre-S/S open reading frame, i.e. pre-S1, pre-S2, and S, allowing the expression of large, middle and small HBs proteins. The pre-S1 is thought to carry the receptor binding site for viral entry into hepatocyte...

Howevere, recent data have shown that endoscopic variceal ligation is just as efficacious and has fewer complications than EVS. Although there are many reports concerning EVL in adults, only a few studies have been done of children. Methods : We performed EVL in 9...

J Korean Pediatr Soc. 2000;43(9):1274-1278.   Published online September 15, 2000
Tetraploidy of human chromosome(92, XXYY) has been described very rarely. Liveborn infant with tetraploidy was reported in only 17 cases(complete 7 cases, mosaicism 10 cases) in the world, and no cases have been reported in Korea. The diploid-tetraploid mosaicism could arise during the early mitosis of the zygote : In one blastomeric cell, the chromosomes replicate but the cytoplasm does...

Kyoung Hee Kim, Yoon Ki Kang, Min Ho Kim, Chan Uhng Joo
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 2000;43(9):1279-1284.   Published online September 15, 2000
Constrictive pericarditis is a rare disease of infancy and childhood, and is almost always caused by a tuberculosis or other infection. It is usually fatal, if untreated in acute phase. Early diagnosis of this condition is now facilitated by echocardiography and computerized tomography. Favorable outcome seems to depend on early diagnosis assured by echocardiography, early surgical treatment such as pericardiocentesis...

J Korean Pediatr Soc. 2000;43(9):1285-1289.   Published online September 15, 2000
Subacute necrotizing lymphadenitis, or Kikuchi`s disease, primarily affects the cervical lymph nodes of young adults and has a self-limited clinical course. Differential diagnoses are malignant lymphoma and systemic lupus erythematosus. Recurrence rate is low as 3.3%, and there have been a few reports describing the recurrence of the disease. The symptoms in almost all recurrent cases were similar to those...

Young Seok Lee, In Seung Park, Jae Young Lee, Soo Jin Kim, Mi Young Han, Do Jun Cho, Eun Jung Bae, Seong Ho Kim
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 2000;43(9):1290-1293.   Published online September 15, 2000
Aortopulmonary window is an uncommon cardiac anomaly accounting for approximately 0.2-0.6% of all congenital cardiac anomalies in which there is a connection between the ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk. Since the first report of successful surgical repair, many investigators have advocated surgical closure of all types of aortopulmonary windows using different technique. The majority of aortopulmonary windows require surgical therapy...
A Case of Sporadic Caffey`s Disease(Infantile Cortical Hyperostosis) Without Mandibular Involvement
Byoung Lae Oh, Seung Woo Paik, Wan Seob Kim
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 2000;43(9):1294-1299.   Published online September 15, 2000
Caffey`s disease(infantile cortical hyperostosis) is an uncommon benign and self limited disorder of unknown etiology, affecting the skeleton and its contiguous fasciae and muscles. Its occurrence in isolated cases or in multiple members in families suggests the existence of two different forms, namely a sporadic form and a familial form. The tibia is the predominant bone known to be affected...
