Vascular leak syndrome(VLS) is characterized by endothelial damage, which causes extravasation
of plasma proteins and fluid from capillaries into the extravascular space. It has been suggested
that the increased vascular permeability is the result of an IL-2-induced suppression of endothelin-
1 secretion by endothelial cells, an IL-2-induced activation of the complement cascade or
TNF-αrelease from IL-2-activated T-cells. A 13-year-old male patient visited our hospital... |

Purpose : Down syndrome, the most common single cause of mental retardation, is usually due
to meiotic nondisjunction leading to trisomy 21. In order to understand the mechanisms of meiotic
nondisjunction including parental origin of an extrachromosome and the meiotic stage of
nondisjunction, we have studied DNA polymorphisms at loci on the long arm of chromosome 21 in
36 families with free trisomy 21.

PTCA was performed in llgears old Takayasu’s arteritis patient with left coronary artery osteal stenosis. A balloon angioplasty catheter was introduced by a 7-F guiding catheter with a 0.14 steerable guide wire. The balloonings were approximately 60 and 80 seconds at each duration. The procedure was performed repeat twice. The stenotic lesion was improved after PTCA. After 2years PTCA, left... |

The cholelithiasis and common bile duct(CBD) stone are rare problems among children.
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancretogram(ERCP) and endoscopic sphincterotomy
are rarely commomly utilized in the treatment of children, primarily because there are fewerindications.
ERCP is an established procedure for visualization of the biliary tract. Endoscopic
sphincterotomy with stone extraction has been accepted as the treatment of choice for
CBD stone removal in adults. However, the role... |

Isolated angiitis of the central nervous system is a rare clinicopathologic entity characterized by vasculitis restricted to the vessels of the central nervous system without other apparent systemic vasculitis. It manifests headache, higher cortical dysfunction, focal neurologic dysfunction and cranial nerve palsies.
We experienced a case of isolated angiitis of the central nervous system in 6 year-old girl who was admitted... |

Tuberculous meningitis is still relatively common infectious disease of central nervous system in korea. The prognosis of tuberculous meningitis is closely related to the state at which treatment if started. Adenosine deaminase (ADA) is an enzyme which irreversibly hydrolyzes adenosine into inosine and ammonia.
Recent investigations have suggested that the measurement of ADA activities in cerebrospinal fluid is useful in the... |
