A ring 18 chromosome(18r) karyotype is a rare disorder characterized by short stature, obesity, microcephaly, mental retardation, micropenis, cryptorchidism, hypertelorism, epicanthal folds, micrognathia, and small hands with short tapering fingers. A 22-month-old girl was referred to our department of pediatrics because of ptosis and delayed development. Karyotype revealed ring 18 and dicentric ring 18 chromosome(46,XX,r(18)[45]/45,XX,-18[7]/46,XX,dic r(18)[3]). Fluorescent in situ hybridization... |

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to correlate birth weight, skinfold thickness, gestational age, BMI and ponderal index of neonates and maternal status with cord serum leptin concentration.
Methods : Sixty newborns were enrolled in this study. Standard growth curves were used to categorize infants as appropriate(AGA), large(LGA), or small for gestational age(SGA). Gestational age, birth weight, length, skinfold... |

Purpose : The identification of the ob gene and its adipocyte-specific protein leptin has provided
the first physiologic links to the regulatory system controlling body weight. In adults, elevations
of serum leptin concentrations correlated closely with the percentage of body fat. This study
investigated whether leptin concentrations were elevated in obese children, and the relationship
between leptin concentrations and gender and pubertal stage.

von Gierke disease(type Ia glycogen storage disease) is an inherited disease associated
with accumulation of glycogen in the liver, kidney, intestine and erythrocytes due to the
defect of glucose-6-phosphatase activity.
Hepatomegaly, doll face, anemia, bleeding tendency and increased susceptability to infection
are common features observed during infancy. Hypoglycemia especially fasting
hypoglycemia is typical metabolic derangement in this disease, followed by metabolic
acidosis, lactic acidemia, hyperlipidemia, hyperuricemia,... |

Chondrodysplasia punctata is a rare congenital disorder of bone, occuring in infants, which is characterized by raiographic manifestation of premature deposition of punctate calcific densitiy in epiphyseal areas, preformed in carilage.
We experienced a case of rhizomelic type-chondrodysplsia punctata in a two day old female who showed short stature, symmetric shortening of proximal limbs, cataract, icthyositic skin lesion and characteristic coronal... |

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is a rare disorder of unknown etiology characterized by protein losing enteropathy, peripheral eosinophilia and iron deficiency anemia secondary to gastrointestinal blood loss. It is often accompanied by signs of systemic allergy.
This case of a 26-month-old male patient who developed scrotal edema and diarrhea for a month had peripheral eosinophilia ranged from 24 to 32% of total leukocyte,... |
