Targeted busulfan and fludarabine-based conditioning for bone marrow transplantation in chronic granulomatous disease
Hee Young Ju, Hyoung Jin Kang, Che Ry Hong, Ji Won Lee, Hyery Kim, Sang Hoon Song, Kyung-Sang Yu, In-Jin Jang, June Dong Park, Kyung Duk Park, Hee Young Shin, Joong-Gon Kim, Hyo Seop Ahn
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2016;59(Suppl 1):S57-S59.   Published online November 30, 2016

Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a primary immunodeficiency disease caused by impaired phagocytic function. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a definitive cure for CGD; however, the use of HSCT is limited because of associated problems, including transplantation-related mortality and engraftment failure. We report a case of a patient with CGD who underwent successful HSCT following a targeted busulfan and...

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis diagnosed by brain biopsy
Hee Young Ju, Che Ry Hong, Sung Jin Kim, Ji Won Lee, Hyery Kim, Hyoung Jin Kang, Kyung Duk Park, Hee Young Shin, Jong-Hee Chae, Ji Hoon Phi, Jung-Eun Cheon, Sung-Hye Park, Hyo Seop Ahn
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2015;58(9):358-361.   Published online September 21, 2015

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is characterized by fever, splenomegaly, jaundice, and pathologic findings of hemophagocytosis in bone marrow or other tissues such as the lymph nodes and liver. Pleocytosis, or the presence of elevated protein levels in cerebrospinal fluid, could be helpful in diagnosing HLH. However, the pathologic diagnosis of the brain is not included in the diagnostic criteria for this...

Umbilical cord blood transplantation
Hong Hoe Koo, Hyo Seop Ahn
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2012;55(7):219-223.   Published online July 17, 2012

Since the first umbilical cord blood transplantation (CBT) in 1998, cord blood (CB) has now become one of the most commonly used sources of hematopoietic stem cells for transplantation. CBT has advantages of easy procurement, no risk to donor, low risk of transmitting infections, immediate availability and immune tolerance allowing successful transplantation despite human leukocyte antigen disparity. Several studies have...

Recent advance in primary immune deficiency disorders
Hyoung Jin Kan, Hee Young Shin, Hyo Seop Ahn
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2009;52(6):649-654.   Published online June 15, 2009
The immune system is comprised of cells and molecules whose collective and coordinated response to the introduction of foreign substance is referred to as the immune response. Defense against microbes is mediated by the early reaction (innate immunity) and the late response (adaptive immunity). Innate immunity consists of the epithelial barrier, phagocytes, complement and natural killer cells. Adaptive immunity, a...
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children: past, present and future
Hyoung Jin Kang, Hee Young Shin, Hyo Seop Ahn
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2007;50(7):601-605.   Published online July 15, 2007
The cure rate of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in children dramatically improved over past 5 decades from zero to about 80%. The main cause of improvement is owing to the development of chemotherapy by multicenter clinical trial of large study groups with the understanding of leukemia biology. Recently, pediatric ALL protocols were applied to the treatment of adolescent and even...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2006;49(3):292-297.   Published online March 15, 2006
Purpose : In medulloblastoma, craniospinal radiation therapy combined with chemotherapy improves the prognosis of tumors but results in significant endocrine morbidities. We studied the endocrine morbidity, especially growth pattern changes. Methods : The medical records of 37 patients with medulloblastoma were reviewed retrospectively for evaluation of endocrine function and growth. We performed the growth hormone stimulation test in 16 patients whose...

Crohn disease (CD) is rare, but the incidence of CD has been increasing over the past ten years. We found two cases of CD, associated with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), for the first time in children. In the first patient, MDS was diagnosed at three years of age and CD developed later at eight years of age. The patient presented with...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(2):288-293.   Published online February 15, 2000
Hepatoblastoma is the most common primary malignant liver tumor in childhood. Most cases are boys generally below three years of age. Hepatoblastoma are associated with various non-metastatic syndromes. Rarely, human chorionic gonadotropin may be produced by the tumor. Ectopic gonadotropin production from this source is a rare cause of precocious puberty in boys. Since a report by Behrendt in 1931,...
