Saerom Choi, Jung Woo Han, Hyosun Kim, Beom Sik Kim, Dong Joon Kim, Sung Chul Lee, Chuhl Joo Lyu
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2013;56(6):254-259.   Published online June 21, 2013
Purpose

Retinoblastoma (RB) is the most common primary malignant intraocular tumor in children. Although systemic chemotherapy has been the primary treatment, intra-arterial chemotherapy (IAC) represents a new treatment option. Here, we performed alternate systemic chemotherapy and IAC and retrospectively reviewed the efficacy and safety of this approach.

Methods

Patients diagnosed with intraocular RB between January 2000 and December 2011 at Severance Children's Hospital,...

Purpose : In 1970, the Berlin-Frankfurt-Munster(BFM) group introduced an intensification therapy after remission induction to reduce relapse of acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL) in childhood. Delayed intensification(DI) phase has been included for treatment of ALL in our hospital since the mid-1990s.

Subcutaneous pannicultis-like T cell lymphoma is a rare cutaneous T cell lymphoma. It presents with multiple subcutaneous nodules or plaques involving the extremities or trunk, and with constitutional symptoms that include fever, malaise, fatigue, myalgia, chills and weight loss. Histologically, the lesions of this disease are reminiscent of panniculitis and are composed of a mixture of small and large atypical...

Byoung Chul Kwon, Kyung Mi Shin, Sung Chul Won, Chuhl Joo Lyu, Chang Hyun Yang, Hyun Ok Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2002;45(7):912-916.   Published online July 15, 2002
Cord blood is a useful source of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells for bone marrow reconstitution. The number of umbilical cord blood transplants is increasing worldwide. In this a case 15- month-old boy with acute myeloid leukemia was treated with umbilical cord blood transplant from an HLA-3 loci mismatched unrelated donor. Granulocyte recovery greater than 500/mm3 occurred at day 49, and...

Effect of GCV on Neuroblastoma Cell Line Expressed by HSV-TK Gene with Retroviral Vector
Hyun Sang Cho, Chuhl Joo Lyu, Yeun Soo Kim, Tae Soo Kim, Byung Soo Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1997;40(12):1719-1724.   Published online December 15, 1997
Background : Gene transfer with vectors derived from murine retroviruses is restricted to cells which are proliferating and synthesizing DNA at the time of infection. Accordingly, selective introduction of genes encoding for susceptibility to otherwise nontoxic drugs(suicide genes) into proliferating tumor may be used to treat cancer. We investigated the efficacy of in vitro transduction of neuroblastoma cell with the herpes simplex-thymidine kinase(HSV-tk) gene followed...

Soo Kyung Yun, Chang Hyun Yang, Chuhl Joo Lyu, Seung Hwan Oh, Kir Young Kim, Myung Joon Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1994;37(2):174-179.   Published online February 15, 1994
The Kidney size is of special interest during the diagnostic work up of acute lymphocytic leukemia. But is still uncertain whether a finding of kidney enlargement at presentation has long-term prognostic value. We therefore reviewed the kidney size in children with acute lymphocytic leukemia by abdominal ultrasonograms at the time of diagnosis (n=54) and examined if there was any statistical...

A Case of Congenital Neuroblastoma: Diagnosed at Antenatal Perio
Hye Young Kang, Chuhl Joo Lyu, Byung Soo Kim, Seung Kang Choi, Woo Hee Jung, Soon Ae Chun
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1992;35(12):1750-1755.   Published online December 15, 1992
Neuroblastoma is one of the most common tumors of childhood. It accounts for about 8% of all pediatric cancers. Because most children who present with this tumor are older than 1 year of age and have advanced disease, they have a poor prognosis in spite of intensive treatment. The patients with less than 1 year of age at the time of...

The Criteria for Surgical Correction of Ventricular Septal Defect by Non-invasive Diagnostic Methods.
Chuhl Joo Lyu, Jun Hee Sul, Sung Kyu Lee, Dong Shik Chin
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1986;29(8):830-835.   Published online August 31, 1986
In selected cases, early corrective surgery is indicated in the management of infants with moderate or large ventricular septal defects. The risks of any surgical procedure in infancy are acknowledged to be great and should be avoided if possible. However, these surgical risks are justified when the patients have intractable congestive heart failure, marked growth retardation, recurrent prolonged lower respiratory...
