Protein losing entropathy was a secondary disorder of the gastrointestinal tract, which is associated with lymphatic obstruction, inflammatory and noninflammatroy disease. It' s clinical manifestations were abdominal pain, edema, diarrhea and growth failure. We described a 12-year-old boy, who had chronic diarrhea for 3 months and edema of lower extremities for 7 days. He also had severe hypoalbuminemia, iron definency anemia, liver diseases and malnurition,... |
Purpose : We conducted randomized study to determine whether high doses(6mg/kg/ day) of iron would exert a more supplemental effect than low doses(3mg/kg/day), and which regimen of recombinant human erythropoietin(rHuEPO) and iron would be more beneficial in the prophylactic treatment of anemia of prematurity. Methods : We randomly assigned 38 sick premature infants who were more likely than symptom-free premature infants requiring erythrocyte transfusions for... |

The authors studied the growth-promoting effect of yeast-derived methionyl-hGH in short statured children with uremic chronic renal failure. The subjects were prepubertal chronic renal insufficient patients whose height standard deviation scores were below -2.0. Two boys and two girls participated in this study. Chronic renal insufficiency was the only cause for the short stature. HGH was given to the subjects in dose... |

Fifteen GH deficient dwarfs were treated with LBD-003, the first year-derived rhGH produced in Korea. The growth promoting effect of LBD-003 was excellent and similar to that of the pituitary extract GH or the previous imported rhGHs. The serum concentrations of IGF-1 at 6th and 12th month of treatment showed significant elevation (p< 0.005, p< 0.001 respectively), but no significant correlation was observed between the... |

These patients were tested for presence of antibodies to rhGH with ELISA and effect of rhGH was evaluated. 1) Among 53... |
Hybridoma technology를 이용하여 human albumin에 선택적으로 반응하는 4 종류의 단세포군 항 처 1(HSA-1,HSA-2, HSA-3, HSA-4) 를 개발하였다. 단세포군의 isotype 및 subclass를 효소 결합 면역 측정법으로 검색한 결과 IgGi 이었다. 단세포군 항체 HSA-1 을 제외한 HSA-2, HSA-3, HSA-4 모두 human albumin에 선택적으로 반 응함을 효소 결합면역 측정 법과 Western blot immunoassay로 알아내 었다. HSA-1, HSA-2, HSA-3는 albumin의 reduction 여부와 관계 없이 albumin molecule과 반응하였 으나,HSA-4는 albumin을 reduction하지... |
Since Raben’s original report that human growth hormone promoted growth in a boy with pituitary dwarfism, the hormone’s efficacy in children with growth hormone deficiency has been amply confirmed. However the scarcity of growth hormone prepared human pituitaries has limited studies of its usefulness in short stature. The availability of a biologically active human growth hormone produced by recombinant-DNA technology has dramatically changed the... |

The human tail is thought to be a rare congenital anomaly which resulted from persistence of the vestigial tail of the 14 -16 mm. human embryo. A child with a tail causes for the parents and, in some cases, a feeling of stigma and shame. We experienced a case of human tail who was an 1-day old male. Examination of the baby revealed a... |
