Effect of Inhaled Nitric Oxide on Hemodynamics, Gas Exchange and Pulmonary Inflammation in Newborn Piglets with Escherichia coli Induced Septic Lungs
Yun Sil Chang, Sun Young Ko, Won Soon Park
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2003;46(8):777-783.   Published online August 15, 2003
Purpose : The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of inhaled nitric oxide(iNO) on gas exchange, hemodynamics and pulmonary inflammation in newborn piglets with E. coli induced septic lung. Methods : Twenty three instrumented and ventilated piglets were randomized into three groups : CON(n=6), PCON(n=9), and PNO(n=8). In the piglets of the PCON and PNO groups, E. coli...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2002;45(7):828-835.   Published online July 15, 2002
Purpose : The outcomes of infants weighing less than 1,500 gm(very low birth weight infant : VLBWI) reflect recent progress in neonatal intensive care. In this study, we analyzed changes over time in survival rate and morbidity of VLBWIs during the past seven years. Methods : A retrospective review of medical records was analyzed for VLBWIs admitted to the neonatal intensive...

Zellweger Syndrome : First Confirmed Neonatal Case in Korea
Sung Sin Kim, Yun Hwa An, Yun Sil Chang, Dong Kyu Jin, Won Soon Park, Moon Hang Lee, Jong Won Kim, Hye Kyoung Yoon, Bo Kyoung Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2001;44(6):694-698.   Published online June 15, 2001
We describe below a case of Zellweger syndrome case with facial dysmorphism, profound hypotonia, and hepatomegaly. He died at the age of 2 months. Zellweger syndrome is a disease marked by the absence of hepatic and renal peroxisomes. Because peroxisomes have many vital anabolic and catabolic functions within the cell, their absence results in profound cellular dysfunction. A biochemical study...

Effects of Partial Liquid Ventilation on Gas Exchange, Hemodynamics, and Pulmonary Function in Newborn Piglet with Respiratory Distress
Yun Sil Chang, Won Soon Park
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(11):1430-1439.   Published online November 15, 2000
Purpose : To evaluate gas exchange, hemodynamics and pulmonary function during partial liquid ventilation(PLV) using PFC(perfluorodecalin), compared with conventional gas ventilation in newborn piglets with saline lavage-induced respiratory distress. Methods : In a total of 16 instrumented and ventilated piglets, acute respiratory distress(below 70 mmHg of PaO2 at FiO2 1.0) was induced by repeated saline pulmonary lavage. The piglets were randomized...
Neonatal Systemic Candidiasis : Comparison of Albicans and Parapsilosis Infection
Jung Mie Han, Ho Young Lee, Mi Jeong Kang, Sun Young Ko, Yun Sil Chang, Won Soon Park
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(8):1052-1058.   Published online August 15, 2000
Purpose : Systemic Candidiasis has become an increasingly important cause of morbidity and mortality in NICU infants. Severe infections caused by non-albicans Candida species have been increasingly reported in NICU infants. The purpose of the present study was to compare relative severity, mortality rates for C. albicans(CA) and C. parapsilosis(CP) infections in our NICU. Methods : This study included 16 infants...
Delayed Cerebral Energy Failure After Acute Hypoxia-Ischemia in Neworn Piglet Under 48hours of Continuous Monitoring Using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy
Yun Sil Chang, Won Soon Park, Munhyang Lee, Ki-Soo Kim, Jung-Hwan Choi, Son Moon Shin
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(9):1198-1210.   Published online September 15, 1998
Purpose : To test the hemodynamic and biochemical sequences of secondary cerebral energy failure after acute reversed hypoxic ischemic brain insult(HI) can be reproduced in newborn piglets. Methods : Fifteen anesthetized, ventilated newborn piglet(<3 day) were studied. Eight(HI) were induced transient HI by breathing 8% oxygen and complete occlusion of bilateral common carotid arteries for 30 minutes followed by reoxygenation...
High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation as a Rescue Therapy of Severe Neonatal Respiratory Failure
Eun Kyung Lee, Yun Sil Chang, Won Soon Park
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(4):456-465.   Published online April 15, 1998
Purpose : High frequency oscillatory ventilation(HFOV) using suprathysiologic ventilatory frequency is a new therapeutic technique, which has a improved survival and reduced complication of newborn infants suffering from severe respiratory failure. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of HFOV as a rescue therapy for infants with severe respiratory failure and to compare the treatment results...

Two Cases of Nitric Oxide Inhalation for Treatment of Severe Pulmonary Hypertension after Surgical Repair of Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia
Yun Sil Chang, I-Seok Kang, Won Soon Park, Suk Koo Lee, Hun Hahk Kim, Heung Jae Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1996;39(11):1611-1619.   Published online November 15, 1996
Nitric oxide, an endothelium-derived relaxing factor, is a selective pulmonary vasodilator. We have built and settled down the delivery system of nitirc oxide gas inhalation for the first time in Korea. Two newborn babies delvelped near fatal pulmonary hypertension after surgical repair of a congenital diaphragmatic hernia. All conventional therapeutic measures failed. So we decided to attempt to use of nitric oxide gas for...

Genital Mycoplasmasin the Newborn Infants: Colonization, Prevalence and Clinical Significance
Yun Sil Chang, Sung Gwon Kim, Beyong Il Kim, Won Soon Park, Bo Hyun Yoon, Eui Chong Kim, Jung-Hwan Choi, Chong Ku Yun
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1996;39(8):1084-1094.   Published online August 15, 1996
Purpose : The genital mycoplasmas: Ureaplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma hominis have recently assumed an increasing importance as neonatal pathogens especially in preterm infants. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of infections with these organisms in newborn infants who were admitted in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit(NICU) and who were suspected having infection in newborn nursery Methods : Sixty four inborns who...
