Ky Young Cho, Jung Ah Lee, Sung Eun Cho, Nam Hee Kim, Jin A Lee, Ki Sook Hong, Hoan Jong Lee, Kyung Hyo Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2007;50(2):151-156.   Published online February 15, 2007
Purpose : Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major etiologic agent for pneumonia, meningitis, otitis media, and sepsis among young children. Multi-drug resistant strains have raised great concern worldwide, thus the importance of prevention with vaccines has been emphasized. However, vaccines may force the appearance of pneumococcal infections by nonvaccine serotypes. Thus, distribution of pneumococcal serotypes should be monitored to estimate vaccine...
Carriage and Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Haemophilus influenzae Isolated from Oropharynges of Children
Kyung Hyo Kim, Kyoung Ah Lim, Il Tae Whang, Young Mi Hong, Eun Sook Kang, Ki Sook Hong
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2001;44(5):509-516.   Published online May 15, 2001
Purpose : Haemophilus influenzae, one of the normal flora of the upper respiratory tract, can cause such infections as otitis, sinusitis, pneumonia, and meningitis in children. The oropharyngeal flora has therefore mainly been analyzed as a reservoir for pathogens. This study was performed to reveal the colonization rate of H. influenzae in the upper respiratory tract, their biotypes, their antimicrobial...
The Improvement of Cell Viability due to Dilution and Removal of DMSO in Thawing of Stem Cells
Hoon-Kyung Lee, Kyung-Ha Ryu, Il-Tae Whang, Eun Suk Kang, Ki Sook Hong, Kyung-Hyo Kim, Young-Mi Hong, Kyung-Hee Kim, Keun Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(2):241-246.   Published online February 15, 2000
Purpose : Cryopreserved stem cells from cord blood are usually infused with Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) immediately after thawing. However, this process may cause cell damage due to osmotic shock, and the administration of DMSO may also cause toxic effects. We studied a new method of increasing cell viability by stabilizing osmolarity by adding dextran 40 and washing out DMSO. Methods :...
Effect of Low-Dose Aspirin Therapy on Platelet Aggregation in Kawasaki Disease
Ju Yeon Yeo, Heon Eui Le, Young Mi Hong, Ki Sook Hong, Wha Soon Chung
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1999;42(4):510-518.   Published online April 15, 1999
Purpose : Aspirin(acetylsalicylic acid) has been used to treat unstable angina and acute myocardial infarction in adults and Kawasaki disease in children. The antithrombotic effect of aspirin was attributed to its ability to inhibit platelet aggregation by inhibiting platelet cyclooxygenase, which leads to decreased thromboxane synthesis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect on the platelet aggregation...
A Case of Transient Myeloproliferative Disorder in Down's Syndrome.
Ji Hye Kang, Young Mi Hong, Kyung Hee Kim, Seung Joo Lee, Ki Sook Hong, Ok Kyung Kim, Je Geun Chi
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1990;33(2):252-258.   Published online February 28, 1990
Transient myeloproliferative disorder has been reported in infant with Down's syndrome during neonatal period. This is clinically and hematologically indistinguishable from congenital acute leukemia. In contrast to congenital leukemia, complete clinical and hematological recovery occurs within weeks to months of diagnosis without antileukemic treatment. A neonate presented with jaundice, hepatosplenomegaly and mongoloid face was diagnosed as Transient myeloproliferative disorder. We report this case with a review of...
Case Report
2 Cases of Herpes Simplex Virus Infection in the neonates.
Kyung Hyo Kim, Jeong Wan Seo, Kyung Hee Kim, Keun Lee, Ki Sook Hong, Mi Ae Lee, Woon Sup Han, Ok Kyung Kim, Yung Oh Shin, Sung Bok Paik
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1986;29(1):101-107.   Published online January 31, 1986
Herpes simplex virus infection in the newborn is generally thought to be associated with a grave prognosis in terms of mortality and severe neurologic sequelae among survivors. Most neonatal herpes infection are due to type 2 herpes virus hominis, acquired either by ascending infection from the mother’s genital area to the intrauterine infant after premature rupture of membrame, or by...
