Clinical Manifestations of Group A β-Hemolytic Streptococcal Pharyngits and Usefulness of Rapid Antigen Test
Youn Jeong Shin, Seong Hee Jang, Eun Sil Dong, Young Min Ahn, Myung Suk Ku
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 2001;44(7):732-741.   Published online July 15, 2001
Purpose : Accurate diagnosis of group A streptococcal(GAS) pharyngitis and appropriate antimicrobial therapy are important, particularly to prevent nonsuppurative sequelae and to reduce the improper use of antibiotics. Because the clinical presentation of pharyngitis does not reliably predict the etiologic agent, when GAS infection is suspected, diagnosis should be based on the result of a throat swab culture or antigen-detection...

Byeong Hee Son, Yeong Hong Park, Woo Yeong Chung
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 2001;44(7):741-751.   Published online July 15, 2001
Purpose : Hepatitis B virus(HBV) with various mutations has been reported. The aims of this study were to investigate the frequency and manifestation of HBV pre-S/S mutations in children with chronic hepatitis B infection.

Colonic Transit Time in Chronic Constipated Patients
Je Eun Choi, Im Jeong Choi, Jung A Lee, Sung Mi Kim, Jin Hwa Jeong, Jeong Ho Lee
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 2001;44(7):752-757.   Published online July 15, 2001
Purpose : In most instances, constipation is considered as idiopathic or functional. The total colonic transit time, traced by radio-opaque markers, makes possible the identification of the colon segment that has the motility alteration that causes constipation. We measured the total and segmental colonic transit time in children with chronic idiopathic constipation and compared the results with those without constipation...

J Korean Pediatr Soc. 2001;44(7):778-785.   Published online July 15, 2001
Purpose : Long-term administration of anticonvulsants for pediatric epileptic patients may cause changes of bone metabolism. This study was performed to evaluate the influence of antiepileptics on the bone metabolism and growth in pediatric patients who received antiepileptics. Methods for early detection of adverse bone metabolism were also evaluated. Methods : Forty-eight epileptic patients were enrolled in this study....
Childhood Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome : Clinical and Polysomnographic Findings
Yang Jun Park, Dae Kyun Koh, Jin Hee Oh, Soo Jung Lee
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 2001;44(7):786-795.   Published online July 15, 2001
Purpose : Although pediatricians may see a lot of patients with clinically suspected obstructive sleep apnea syndrome(OSAS), the actual incidence, clinical and polysomnographic manifestations of OSAS in children have not well been recognized and reported cases are rare. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of polysomnography in the diagnosis of OSAS in children and to analyze...
IGF-I on the Expression of Gene Associated with Hypoxic Ischemic Brain Injury in the Neonatal Rats
Hyung-Shin Lee, Sang-Hyun Byun, Ren Zhe Ann, Kyu-Sang Song, Young-Ik Lee, Yoo-Jung Hahn, Yong-Hun Chung
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 2001;44(7):796-807.   Published online July 15, 2001
Purpose : To investigate the effect of intraperitoneal injection of IGF-I after hypoxic ischemic brain injury on neuronal cell necrosis, apoptosis and expression of proapoptotic and antiapoptotic proteins bax and bcl-2, respectively. Methods : The right carotid artery was cut between the double ligation. Then allowed to recover for 30 minutes followed by exposure to 8% oxygen at 37℃ for...
The Effect of Imipramine and Desmopressin for the Treatment of Enuresis in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Children
Yong Hoon Park, Eun Sil Lee, Han Ku Moon, Hyung Bae Park

Purpose : Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder(ADHD) is one of the most common childhood psychiatric diseases and nocturnal enuresis is also a common involuntary disorder, whose symptoms can appear more than 2-3 times per month even after the age of 5. The incidence of nocturnal enuresis is believed to be increasing in ADHD patients. This study investigates the effectiveness of desmopressin...

A Case of Crossed Branch Pulmonary Arteries in Dandy-Walker Malformation
Seonyoung Kim, Dongchul Park
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 2001;44(7):827-831.   Published online July 15, 2001
Crossed pulmonary arteries is an uncommon anomaly in which the ostium of the left pulmonary artery originates superiorly and to the right of the right pulmonary artery. The pulmonary arteries then cross each other and supply their respective lungs. The recognition of this rare anomaly is important because of its association with significant cardiac and extracardiac congenital abnormalities. These congenital...

J Korean Pediatr Soc. 2001;44(7):841-846.   Published online July 15, 2001
Acute scrotal disorders(ASD) in neonates-especially the torsion of testes- are rare, and the clinical presentations are quite different from those of adolescents or adults. The neonates with ASD are generally afebrile and do not show typical symptoms. Early diagnosis and proper treatment of ASD are very important but the differentiation of torsion and orchitis is not easy in neonates. The...
