Clin Exp Pediatr. 2006;49(12):1340-1347.   Published online December 15, 2006
Purpose : The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of polymorphic cytosine adenine (CA) repeat of the IGF-I gene in the age-related alterations of serum IGF-I levels in healthy children. Methods : Two hundred and forty three normal healthy children (136 boys; 107 girls) aged between 7 and 15 years were enrolled in the present study. The...

Canavan disease, also known as van Bogaert-Bertrand disease, is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by early an onset and a progressive spongyform degeneration of the brain, associated with an edema of the central nerve system, intramyelinic swelling and neurologic symptoms. This disorder is most prevalent in people of Ashkenazi Jewish descent but has been observed in other ethnic groups....
A Case of Repeated Ventricular Tachycardia Caused by Cardiac Rhabdomyomas in an Infant with Tuberous Sclerosis
Hee Jung Joo, Min Seob Song, Tae Gyu Hwang, Chul Ho Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2003;46(9):913-917.   Published online September 15, 2003
Cardiac rhabdomyomas are relatively uncommon and associated with tuberous sclerosis in 40-50% cases. We report a 10-month-old infant with tuberous sclerosis who presented with ventricular arrythmias and status epilepticus. There were hypopigmented macules on the body, periventricular calcifications, renal cyst and cardiac rabdomyomas just below the aortic valve. The patient required resection of left ventricular subaortic masses due to sustained...

Mutational Analysis of MECP2 Gene in 34 Rett Syndrome
Sang Jo Park, Tae Gyu Hwang, Byeong Hee Son, Chul Min Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2002;45(10):1263-1272.   Published online October 15, 2002
Purpose : Rett syndrome(RTT) is an X-linked dominant neurodevelopmental disorder affecting 1 per 10,000-15,000 female births worldwide. It was initially described by Andreas Rett in 1966. RTT involves developmental regression characterized stereotypic hand movements, tremors, gait apraxia, seizures, deceleration of head growth after the age of 6-18 months. The disease-causing gene was identified as MECP2 on chromosome Xq28. We carried out mutational analysis of MECP2...

Purpose : The incidence and clinical features of cerebrovascular disease in childhood were not clearly clarified in domestic. This study was undertaken to evaluate the clinical characteristics of cerebrovascular disease in infants and children, and its outcome, a retrospective study was performed to adequate management. Methods : We reviewed clinical records of the patients who had admitted to Inje University Pusan...
A Comparative Study o fIntavenous Methylprednisolone Dosage for Treatment of Children with Acute Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura
Eun Ju Shin, Yeong Jae Song, Woo Yeong Chung, Tae Gyu Hwang, Soon Yong Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1995;38(4):513-519.   Published online April 15, 1995
Purpose : It is well known that use of intranenous methylprednisolone(IVMP)for the patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura(ITP) is not only as effective as use of intravenous gammaglobulin to mincrease platelets quickly, but also the former is less expensive than the latter. As the adequate dosage of IVMP has not been fully elucidated, we have tried to determine it. Methods : The...

Chul Hwan Park, Moo Young Oh, Tae Gyu Hwang, Soon Yong Lee, Yeon Soon Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1987;30(3):320-326.   Published online March 31, 1987
We observed 3 cases of congenital hypothyroidism. A 43-day-old girl, a 372-month-old boy and a 5-year-old girl were presented. The causes were thyroid agenesis of case I, defective TSH receptor (suspect) of case II and undetermined in case III respectively. The diagnosis was made by clinical manifestations, thyroid function test, A brief review of literatures was made.
A Case of Sacral Agenesis.
Cheol Lee, Byung Uk Park, Tae Gyu Hwang, Soon Yong Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1986;29(1):79-83.   Published online January 31, 1986
Sacral agenesis is a rare congenital anomaly of the lower vertebral column which usually produces lower urinary tract dysfunction. The authors have reported a case of sacral agenesis which was found in a l-year-4-month old girl, who was born of a diabetic mother and had been suffered from recurrent urinary tract infection. A brief review of literatures was made.
A Case of Hereditary Spherocytosis.
Eui Lim Choi, Chul Hwan Park, Tae Gyu Hwang, In Soon Park, Soon Yong Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1983;26(11):1120-1124.   Published online November 30, 1983
We observed a case of hereditary spherocytosis who was a 4-month-old boy with the chief complaints of jaundice and pallor. Evidence of the same disease was also found in the patient` s father who had never been symptomatic. Diagnosis was made by presence of spherocytes in peripheral blood smear, osmotic fragility- test and autohemolysis test. A brief review of literatures was made.
