Increased Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 and Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase-1 Levels in the Cerebrospinal Fluid from Children with Aseptic Meningitis
Ju Hee Yang, Min Hyuk Park, Jung-Yeon Shim, Hye Lim Jung, Moon Soo Park, Dong Hyuck Keum
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2003;46(6):548-553.   Published online June 15, 2003
Purpose : Matrix metalloproteinase(MMP)-9 is known to breakdown the blood-brain barrier by degrading the extracellular matrix of the subendothelial basement membrane in meningitis. Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase(TIMP)-1, a known inhibitor of MMP-9, has been postulated to inhibit the proteolytic activity of MMP-9 by bindng to MMP-9, but their interaction has not been fully understood yet. So far, there have been...

Hyang Mi Kwon, Sun Seong Park, Hye Lim Jung, Dong Hyuck Keum, Kye Yong Song
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1995;38(7):988-992.   Published online July 15, 1995
Pagetoid reficulosis is a rare skin disorder consisting of localized(WoringerKolopp type) or disseminated (Ketron-Goodman type), asymptomatic hyperkeratotic, cutaneous plaque. The disseminated form has clinical similarities with mycosis fungoides and histologically characteri-sed by prominent infiltration of cytologically atypical mononuclear cells within a hyperplastic epidermis. It is suggested that the infiltrating cells orginate from T-lymphocytes. A 6yr old male patient visited with...

The Significance of Nucleated Red Blood Cell Counts in Low Birth Weight Neonates
In Ho Song, Weon Kee Lee, Hye Lim Jung, Dong Hyuck Keum
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1993;36(11):1526-1533.   Published online November 15, 1993
We studied to assess the relationship between intrauterine growth retardation and the increased nucleated red blood cell counts (NRBC) in small for gestational age (SGA) and appropriate for gestational age (AGA) neonates with low birth weight. We also evaluated the nucleated red blood cell counts in low birth weight neonates who had either perinatal asphyxia or hyaline membrane disease (HMD)...
The Heart in Acute Glomerulonephritis: An Echocardiographic Study.
Eun Hee Choi, In Hyun Cho, Sun Ja Lee, Dong Hyuck Keum
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1981;24(7):659-665.   Published online July 15, 1981
Patients with acute glomerulonephritis often are seen with signs suggesting heart failure. Whether these signs are due to fluid overload secondary to kidney damage only, or whether there is associated myocardial damage has not been elucidated. Twenty-two children with acute glomerulonephritis were studied by echocardiography during edematous phase of disease. Left ventricular function was normal in all childrem. The most...
