Min Jee Jeoung, Jung Yeon Shin, Soo Young Kim, Jung Hwa Lee, Kee-Hyoung Lee, Joo Won Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2007;50(8):767-773.   Published online August 15, 2007
Purpose : Obesity has become a pandemic and especially the prevalence of childhood obesity has increased remarkably over the past years. Childhood obesity is often accompanied by the expected morbidities such as hyperlipidemia, fatty liver and glucose intolerance. We evaluated the pattern of alteration in the body mass index (BMI), serum adiponectin concentration, insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and complication rates after...
Phenotypic Transformation of Tubular Epithelial Cells and Fibroblasts Following Unilateral Ureteral Obstruction or Angiotensin II Infusion in the S-D Rat
Eui Seong Lee, Min Jee Jeoung, Kee Hwan Yoo, Young Sook Hong, Joo Won Lee, Soon Kyum Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2004;47(4):430-438.   Published online April 15, 2004
Purpose : Unilateral ureteral obstruction(UUO), a well established experimental model of renal injury, gives rise to tubulointerstitial fibrosis, tubular dilatation and cellular atrophy. Angiotensin(ANG) II may take the prime role in the regulation of this response. The objectives in the current investigation were to determine whether the renal response to UUO involves the dedifferentiation of tubular epithelial cells to mesenchymal...
A Multivariate Analysis of Risk Factors of Renal Involvement in Henoch-Sch nlein Purpura
Min Jee Jeoung, Hyung Eun Yim, Kee Hwan Yoo, Young Sook Hong, Joo Won Lee, Soon Kyum Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2004;47(4):405-411.   Published online April 15, 2004
Purpose : Long-term prognosis of Henoch-Sch nlein purpura(HSP) is determined by the existence and severity of renal involvement. We evaluated the relationship between various clinical features of HSP and the development of renal involvement using univariate and multivariate analyses for early detection and proper management of HSP nephritis. Methods : We performed a retrospective study of 200 children who were diagnosed...
