Purpose

In children with acute leukemia, bone marrow genetic abnormalities (GA) have prognostic significance, and may be the basis for minimal residual disease monitoring. Since April 2007, we have used a multiplex reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction tool (HemaVision) to detect of GA.

Methods

In this study, we reviewed the results of HemaVision screening in 270 children with acute leukemia, newly diagnosed at The...

Clinical outcomes of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from HLA-matched parental donor in childhood acute leukemia
Eun Young Cha, Moon Hee Lee, Jae Wook Lee, Young Joo Kwon, Dae Hyoung Lee, Young-Shil Park, Nak Gyun Chung, Dae Chul Jeong, Bin Cho, Hack Ki Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2008;51(1):67-72.   Published online January 15, 2008
Purpose : In this study, we retrospectively analyzed the clinical outcomes of patients who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) grafted from HLA-matched parents. Methods : Seven children with acute leukemia (4 acute lymphoblastic leukemia, 3 acute myeloid leukemia) in first complete remission received allogeneic HSCT from their respective parents at the St. Marys Hospital between April, 1999 and October,...
Clinical Manifestation of Childhood Acute Leukemia with Bone Involvement
Kyoung Eun Jeong, Hee Jung Lee, Kwang Soon Song, Heung Sik Kim, Chin Moo Kang
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(6):806-813.   Published online June 15, 2000
Purpose : Bone involvement is known to develop in 40-70% of pediatric acute leukemia. We aimed to analyze the clinical course and result of therapy in pediatric acute leukemia with bone involvement. Methods : Twenty-seven patients diagnosed as pediatric acute leukemia at Dong San Medical Center from Jan. 1996 to Aug. 1998 were evaluated. According to bone X-ray and whole body...
Mucormycosis in Leukemic Children
Seung Ghon Nam, Eun Wha Choi, Jin Young Park, Jong Jae Kim, Hee Young Shin, Hoan Jong Lee, Hyo Seop Ahn
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1996;39(3):379-388.   Published online March 15, 1996
Purpose : Mucormycosis is an opportunistic fungal infection caused by one of the ubiquitous fungi of the order Mucorales, occurring almost exclusively in immunocompromised hosts such as patients with diabetes, leukemia and lymphoma. Recently the incidence of mucormycosis is rising associated with the increasing predisposing factors such as cytotoxic drugs and immunosuppressive agents. Though mucormycosis is frequently fatal, there has...

Immunoglobulin (Ig) and T cell receptor 0 chain (TcR分) gene rearrangements can be used as ”genetic marker” of lineage and clonality in the study of lymphoproliferative disease. We analyzed genomic DNA of the bone marrow mononuclear cells from twenty six patients with acute leukemia in children. The patients were seventeen cases of acute lymphocytic leukmia (ALL), seven cases of acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANL) and...
Clinical considerations of acute leukemia or transient myeloprolifo- rative disorder in Down syndrome.
Eun Sil Dong, Sung Hee Jang, Hong Hoe Koo, Hye Lim Jung, Hee Young Shin, Hyo Seop Ahn
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1991;34(1):74-82.   Published online January 31, 1991
Children with Down syndrome have an increased incidence of acute leukemia. Infants with Down syndrome are also at risk of developing a transient myeloproliferative disorder indistinguishable from acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL) except by its eventual clinical recovery. We observed 11 patients with acute leukemia or transient myeloproliferative disorder in Down syndrome who had admitted to the Departmetn of Pediatrics, Seoul National University Children’s Hospital,...
High-Dose Cytosine Arabinoside (HD Ara-C) Therapy for Refractory Acute Leukemia in Children.
Il Soo Ha, Hyo Seop Ahn, Chang Yee Hong
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1988;31(10):1328-1337.   Published online October 31, 1988
Eleven children with refractory acute leukemia were treated with high dose cytosine arabinoside (HD Ara-C), given at a dosage of 3 gm/m2 intravenously over about one hour every 12 hours for four to eight doses. The antileukemic effects were evaluable in nine of the patients, two with ALL, seven with ANLL. Six of the seven patients with ANLL attained complete remission, while neither...
Clinical Characteristics and Pathogenesis of Typhlitis in Childhood Non-Lymphocytic Leukemia-Considerations on Clinical Mangement with Report of Two Cases and Literature Review.

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1988;31(5):607-620.   Published online May 31, 1988
The treatment of acute leukemia in childhood has been increasingly successful due to progression of chemotherapeutics and other supportive care. Improved survival rates in acute childhood leukemia have been associated with an increasing number of complications in the gastrointestinal tract. Typhlitis also known as ileocecal syndrome is a necrotizing inflammation of the cecum in leukemic patients on chemotherapy in the terminal stage of the...
A Clinical and Laboratory Study on Infection in Childhood Leukemia.
Jung Hee Lee, Kwang Hyun Kim, In Joon Seol, Heung Jae Lee, Hahng Lee, Chong Moo Park
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1986;29(7):699-709.   Published online July 31, 1986
Acute Leukemia is the most common among malignant disease in childhood, and the loss of normal hematopoiesis by proliferation of leukemic cells and the chemotherapy result in immunosuppression and the reduction of red blood cells, normal white blood cells and platelets. The children with acute leukemia may succumb to the disease due to infections, hemorrhage, other complications, or the progression...
A Study on Four Serum Enzymes in Acute Leukemia in Children.

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1986;29(2):130-142.   Published online February 28, 1986
In order to find out whether some of serum enzyme levels could be used as markers for acute leukemia in children, activities of amylase, alkaline phosphatase, 5 -nucleotidase and ribonuclease (RNase) and positive rates of these enzymes as markers for acute leukemia in children were determined in serum of patients with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) and acute non-lymphocytic leukemia(ANLL). Since the...
