Yu Mi Choi, Gyu Min Lee, Jung Bin Yi, Kyung Lim Yoon, Kye Shik Shim, Chong Woo Bae, Sung Il Choi, Hyun Cheol Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2012;55(4):143-146.   Published online April 30, 2012

The processus vaginalis within the inguinal canal forms the canal of Nuck, which is a homolog of the processus vaginalis in women. Incomplete obliteration of the processus vaginalis causes indirect inguinal hernia or hydrocele of the canal of Nuck, a very rare condition in women. Here, we report 2 cases of hydrocele of the canal of Nuck that were diagnosed...

Polymorphisms of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase are not a risk factor for Kawasaki disease in the Korean population
Kyung Lim Yoon, Jin Hee Ko, Kye Shik Shim, Mi Young Han, Sung Ho Cha, Su Kang Kim, Joo Ho Jung
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2011;54(8):335-339.   Published online August 31, 2011
Purpose

Hyperhomocysteinemia is known as a risk factor for atherosclerosis. Preclinical arteriosclerosis is noted and premature atherosclerosis is known to be accelerated in Kawasaki disease (KD) patients. Genetic polymorphisms in the 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene result in elevated plasma homocysteine concentrations and are known to be associated with the development of coronary artery disease. Our hypothesis is that single nucleotide polymorphisms...

Multiple births conceived by assisted reproductive technology in Korea
Young Sil Park, Sun Hee Choi, Kye Shik Shim, Ji Young Chang, Won Ho Hahn, Yong Sung Choi, Chong-Woo Bae
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2010;53(10):880-885.   Published online October 31, 2010
Purpose

The recent trends of multiple births (MBs) conceived by assisted reproductive technology (ART) in Korea were analyzed as well as the relationship with maternal age, especially advanced maternal age.

Methods

Data were obtained from the Korean Statistical Information Service and annual ART reports from the ART committee of the Korean Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Results

MBs increased from the early 1990s; there was...

The Correlation Between the TSH Level in Neonatal Screening Test and the Prognosis of Congenital Hypothyroidism
Hong Sun Park, Kye Shik Shim, Kyuchul Choeh
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2001;44(1):25-31.   Published online January 15, 2001
Purpose : It is important to diagnose and treat newborn patients with congenital hypothyroidism as soon as possible because of neurodevelopmental outcome. If we can detect more severe forms of congenital hypothyroidism with neonatal screening test, the results of treatment will improve. Methods : Sixty-four term infants whose TSH levels in neonatal screening test had been higher than 20μIU were recalled....
Infantile Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis Treated with Intravenous Atropine Sulfate
Jae Woo Lim, Hee Sook Son, Kye Shik Shim, Kyu Chul Choeh, Tae Il Han
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(6):763-768.   Published online June 15, 2000
Purpose : The pharmacologic effect of atropine on HPS can be considered to control pyloric muscle spasm. Therefore, we studied the effects of intravenous atropine sulfate on the clinical course of HPS, and periodically observed the ultrasonographic appearance of the pyloric muscles after atropine treatment. Methods : From April 1998 to May 1999, 14 infants who were diagnosed with HPS were...
Re-Evaluation of Neonatal Screening Tests for Inborn Errors of Metabolism with Dried Filter Paper Blood Spots
Kye Shik Shim, Jin Soon Hwang, Jung Sub Lim, Se Young Kim, Choong Ho Shin, Sei Won Yang, Jung Hwan Choi, Chong Ku Yun, Jung-Han Song
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1999;42(12):1639-1644.   Published online December 15, 1999
Purpose : There have been high rates of false positive and recall in neonatal screening test using the cut-off points set by the manufacturing company. So, it is necessary to re-evaluate the cut off values to minimize the false positive rates. Methods : We collected capillary blood in dry filter paper from 996 healthy neonates on the third day in cases...
Role of Polymorphism in HLA DQ-α and -β Chain Loci in the Pathophysiology of Autoimmune Thyroid Disease in Children with and without Turner Syndrome
Kye Shik Shim, Kyu Chul Choeh, Sei Won Yang, Sa Jun Chung, Jin Sung Lee, Kyung Tae Lee, Sung Ho Goh, Yong Sung Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1999;42(7):980-990.   Published online July 15, 1999
Purpose : About 10% of girls with Turner syndrome may have autoimmune thyroid disease(AIT), but the disease's pathophysiology has not yet been elucidated. Accordingly, this study was performed to observe whether the pathogenesis of AIT in children with Turner syndrome and without Turner syndrome correlate with special loci of DQ α and β chain in HLA. Methods : Blood samples were...
Serum Levels of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-Ⅰ and Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein-3 between Short Children with or without Intrauterine Growth Retardation
Kye Shik Shim, Se Young Kim, Choong Ho Shin, Sei Won Yang
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1999;42(3):390-396.   Published online March 15, 1999
Purpose : Postnatally, 20% of children with intrauterine growth retardation(IUGR) has no catch- up growth, This might be dependent on the serum level of Insulin-like growth factor I(IGF-I), resulting in shortness. We measured serum levels of IGF-I and Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3(IGFBP-3) in children with IUGR and normal short stature variants(NSSV) to observe whether they play a role in...
