Two Cases of Hydrometrocolpos in Neonate
Min Young Park, Bo Ra Son, So Young Kim, Young You Kim, Hyun Hee Kim, Won-Bae Lee, In Kyung Sung, Chung Sik Chun, Su Aa Lim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2002;45(2):278-283.   Published online February 15, 2002
Imperforated hymen, vaginal atresia or high transverse vaginal septum are caused by incomplete vaginal canalization. The infant may be present with distention of the vagina and the uterus with glandular secretions stimulated by maternal estrogens, known as hydrometrocolpos. We report two cases of hydrometrocolpos. In the first case, distal vaginal atresia with cystovaginal fistula was revealed by a contrast fluoroscope...

The Effect of the Maternal Hypertension on the Lipid Peroxidation and Antioxidant Status in the Newborn Rat Lung
You Jin Jung, So-Young Kim, In Kyung Sung, Chung Sik Chun
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2001;44(5):545-551.   Published online May 15, 2001
Purpose : The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the maternal hypertension on the lipid peroxidation and antioxidant status of the newborn rat lung. Methods : We used adult female SHR(essential hypertension, 1b, A, 6-8 weeks), Sprague-Dawley white rats as a model of hypertensive dams. Breeding was accomplished by allowing female and male rats to cohabit overnight....
The Effect of Erythromycin on Gastric Antrum and Low Esophageal Sphincter in the Newborn Rabbit
Sung Dong Choi, Chung Sik Chun
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(1):34-42.   Published online January 15, 2000
Purpose : We studied smooth muscle strips from rabbit gastric antrum and low esophageal sphincter(LES) to explore the difference between newborn and adult rabbit on erythromycin(EM)- induced contractions. Another aim of this study was to determine the mechanism of LES contractile activities induced by erythromycin(EM). Methods : Muscle strips prepared from newborn and adult rabbits were stimulated with agonists such as KCl, motilin and EM,...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1996;39(1):42-52.   Published online January 15, 1996
Purpose : There has been no nationwide report pertaining to the epidemiology of aseptic meningitis, although a great numer of patients have been diagnosed of the illness. Therefore, we report an explosive outbreak of aseptic meningitis occured in a nationwide scale in 1993. Methods : Aseptic meningitis epidemiology surveillence was performed retrospectively on the patients diagnosed of aseptic meinigitis from January...

The Dandy-Walker Syndrome is a developmental disorders of the brain characterized by cystic deformity of fourth ventricle, agenesis or hypoplasia of the cerebellar vermis, and hydrocephalus. This syndrome is frequently associated with central nervous system malformation and systemic anomalies. We experienced a case in a 2-day-old female who has multiple congenital anomalies. On physical examinations, macrocephaly with prominent occiput, encephalocele in the occipital area, microphth- almia,...
A case of bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
Sun A Chun, Byung Jun Choi, Bo Kyung Cho, Chung Sik Chun, Sung Hoon Cho
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1989;32(11):1553-1559.   Published online November 30, 1989
The development of respiratory management of the newborn has improved the survival rates of respiratory distress syndrome in these two decades. But the incidence of complication associated with this management has been increased. Although the pathogenesis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia has not been clearly established yet, bronchopulmonary dysplasia is one of the major complication of the mechanical ventilation. There are several factors in the development of...
