Clin Exp Pediatr. 2017;60(7):232-236.   Published online July 31, 2017

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare disease in children characterized by intra-alveolar accumulation of surfactant proteins, which severely reduces gaseous exchange. Whole lung lavage (WLL) is the preferred technique for the treatment of severe PAP. Herein, we present a pediatric case of PAP treated with WLL. An 11-year-old boy was admitted with the chief complaint of a dry cough...

The Effect of Histologic Chorioamnionitis on the Development of Respiratory Distress Syndrome and Chronic Lung Disease in Preterm Infants
Heui seung Jo, Beyong Il Kim, Chang Won Choi, Jun Dong Park, Chong Jai Kim, Jung-Hwan Choi
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2004;47(2):150-156.   Published online February 15, 2004

Purpose: Histologic chorioamnionitis may play a role in the development of respiratory distress syndrome(RDS) and chronic lung disease(CLD) independently or through its association with preterm birth. We investigated the relationship between histologic chorioamnionitis and clinical complications including, RDS and CLD, of preterm infants. Methods: Clinical data were collected retrospectively from 478 preterm infants(gestational period≤34 weeks) who were admitted to the neonatal...
Classification and Risk Factors for Chronic Lung Disease(CLD) of Prematurity : Classical CLD Versus Atypical CLD
Chang Won Choi, Beyong Il Kim, Heui Seung Jo, Jun Dong Park, Chong Jae Kim, Bo Hyun Yoon, Jung-Hwan Choi
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2001;44(11):1222-1232.   Published online November 15, 2001
Purpose : We tried to classify the different type of CLD and assess the risk factors for classical CLD and atypical CLD. Methods : Retrospective cohort analysis was done in 120 preterm infants with birth weights less than 1,500 g who were admitted to NICU in Seoul National University Children's Hospital between Jan. 1993 and Dec. 1998 and survived more...
Effects of Cisapride on QTc Interval and QT Dispersion in Preterm Infants
Heui Seung Jo, Chang Won Choi, Yun Kyung Lee, Hee Seok Kim, Jun Dong Park, Jun Huh, Beyong Il Kim, Chung Il Noh, Jung-Hwan Choi
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(2):188-194.   Published online February 15, 2000
Purpose : Cisapride, a prokinetic agent, is widely used in preterm infants with feeding intolerance or gastroesophageal reflux. Although cisapride is regarded as a safe drug, increased QTc interval or ventricular arrhythmia has been reported in adults and neonates. So we prospectively examined the effects of cisapride on the QTc interval and QT dispersion in preterm infants. Methods : QTc interval...

Association of Early Postnatal Neutropenia and Development of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia in Preterm Infants
Hee Seok Kim, Jun Dong Park, Beyong Il Kim, Jung-Hwan Choi, Chong Ku Yun
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(8):1033-1040.   Published online August 15, 1998
Purpose : To see if a similar relationship exists between the decreased number of circulating neutrophils and the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD) in preterm infants, we tried to test the hypothesis that claims that preterm infants, who develop BPD, have decreased number of circulating neutrophils than those who do not develop BPD. Methods : A retrospective cohort study was conducted in...

Influence of Phototherapy on Incidence of Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Very Low Birth W eight Infants
Hee Seok Kim, Ee Kyung Kim, Yun Kyoung Lee, Hee Eun Lee, Chan Hwu Park, Kyung Ran Park, Jun Dong Park, Beyong Il Kim, Woong Heum Kim, Jung-Hwan Choi, Yong Su Yun, Chong Ku Yun, Jeong Mi Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1997;40(10):1410-1418.   Published online October 15, 1997
Purpose : Patent ductus arteriosus(PDA) is a common disease in very low birth weight infants(VLBWI). Hemodynamically significant PDA increases the morbidity and mortality of premature infants. Based on experimental model, light inhibits the constriction of immature piglet' s ductal rings. No specific mechanism adequately explains the effect of light on the relaxation of PDA. Several hypotheses, including activation of photosensitive metabolites, alterations in receptors, or...
