Hepatic glycogenosis in type 1 diabetes mellitus mimicking Mauriac syndrome
In Ah Jung, Won Kyoung Cho, Yeon Jin Jeon, Shin Hee Kim, Kyoung Soon Cho, So Hyun Park, Min Ho Jung, Byung-Kyu Suh
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2015;58(6):234-237.   Published online June 22, 2015

Hepatic glycogenosis in type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) can be caused by poor glycemic control due to insulin deficiency, excessive insulin treatment for diabetic ketoacidosis, or excessive glucose administration to control hypoglycemia. Mauriac syndrome, which is characterized by hepatomegaly due to hepatic glycogenosis, growth retardation, delayed puberty, and Cushingoid features, is a rare diabetic complication. We report a case of...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2009;52(11):1279-1282.   Published online November 15, 2009
Hepatomegaly and liver dysfunction might develop in patients with diabetes mellitus due to glycogen deposition or nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. We experienced a case of hepatic glycogenosis in a patient with type 1 diabetes mellitus who presented with recurrent hypoglycemia, suggesting impairment of glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. A 10-year-old girl with a 4-year history of type 1 diabetes mellitus was admitted because of...

Glucose metabolism and evaluation of hypoglycemia in neonates
Eun Young Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2007;50(3):223-229.   Published online March 15, 2007
The fetus is completely dependent on mother for glucose and other nutrient transfer across the placenta. At birth, when the maternal supply is discontinued, the neonate must adjust to an independent existence. The changes in the neonate's glucose homeostasis during this transition to the extrauterine environment are influenced by the mother's metabolism and intrinsic fetal and placental problems. Maturation of...

Acute Alcohol Intoxication in a Child
Mee Jeong Lee, Hyunmi Kim, Sang Gyu Park, Soo Youn Ham
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(4):588-591.   Published online April 15, 2000
Information on ethyl alcohol intoxication in children is scarce. It is generally believed that children are more vulnerable to ethyl alcohol intoxication than adults. However, little information has been published on the effects of ethanol in the pediatric age group. The incidence of hypoglycemia and convulsions following ethanol intoxication is not known. We report a fatal case of acute alcohol...

Medical Therapy in Children with Persistent Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglycemia of Infancy(PHHI)
Hyun-Jeong Kim, Mi-Jeong Kim, Hwa-Sook Shin, Jung-Sim Kim, Mie-Ryung Uhm, Si-Hwan Ko, Suk-Hyang Lee, Dong-Kyu Jin
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(2):253-259.   Published online February 15, 2000
Purpose : Persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy(PHHI), which is characterised by inappropriate insulin secretion in spite of hypoglycemia, needs urgent treatment to prevent cerebral hypoglycemic damage. Although pancreatectomy is the treatment of choice for PHHI, there are several complications which follow treatment. We suggest that aggressive medical therapy, when effective, is preferable to partial pancreatectomy. Methods : We evaluated 8 patients...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1993;36(6):870-876.   Published online June 15, 1993
Pancreatic islet cell adenoma is a benign tumor of pancreatic β-cell and a rare cause of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia in chidren. The autors experienced a case of pancreatic islet cell adenoma(Insulinoam) in a 11 year and 8 month old male who had frequent loss of consciousness and seizuere. Enucleation was done after localiztion of tumor by selective celiac artery angiography and abdominal...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1992;35(12):1667-1673.   Published online December 15, 1992
We assessed the relationship between neonatal hypoglycemia and newborn iron status in hypoglycemic large-for-gestational age, euglycemic large for gestational age and euglycemic appropriate for gestational age infants that were admitted to the department of Pediatrics, Koryo General Hospital from July 1989 to June 1990. The results are as follows; 1) The incidence of large for gestational age infants was 3.3% (32...
A Comparison of Reagent Test Strip-photometer and Laboratory Plasma Glucose Values in Newborns
Jin Kyung Kim, Myung Chul Hyun, Sang Bum Lee, Heng Mi Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1992;35(8):1501-1058.   Published online August 15, 1992
Although reagent test strip-photometer method is frequently used to estimate plasma glucose values in nurseries, the accuracy in newborns have not been evaluated previously. In this study values of 44 samples of laboratory glucose were compared with values simultaneously obtained by reagent test strip-photometer. Laboratory values were determined by glucose oxidase method using veous plasma. Reagent test strip-photometer values were determined...

Serum glucose changes by constant infusion of glucose at the rate of 8 mg/kg/min were studied in 20 neonates. Serum glucose level elevated from 41 ±8 mg/dl to 80 ±31 mg/dl within 10 minutes of infusion. In some cases hyperglycemia above 150 mg/dl was observed from 40 minutes of infusion. Constant glucose infusion was found to be useful for elevation of glucose level...
