Clinical Study of Hypophosphatemic Rickets.
Seok Min Choi, Duk Hi Kim, Chin Suck Suh
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1989;32(8):1057-1063.   Published online August 31, 1989
Hypophosphatemic rickets is a disorder characterized by a normal or slightly reduced serum calcium level, a moderately reduced serum phosphorus level and elevated alkaline phosphatase activity. The usual mode of inheritance is X-linked dominant and postulated mechanism is a selective disorder of tubular reabsorption of phosphate, defective conversion of 21-hydroxyvitamin D3 to calcitriol and increased catabolism of calcitriol. In children with renal hypophosphatemic rickets, growth...

Ventricular septal defect is the most common cardiac malformation, accounting for 25% of congenital heart disease. The electrocardiogram is becoming more useful as a tool in estimating the size of the ventricular septal defect and the type of pulmonary vascular response. This report comprises 210 patients in whom the diagnosis of isolated ventricular septal defect was made by cardiac catheterization and angiocardiography at Dong San...
Changes of Plasma Atrial Natriuretic Peptide and Antidiuretic Hormone in Congenital Heart Disease.
Sun Jun Kim, Jong San Lee, Chan Uhng Joo, Dae Yeol Lee, Jung Soo Kim
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1989;32(8):1106-1116.   Published online August 31, 1989
Human atrial myocytes secrete atrial natriuretic peptides (ANP) into the plasma, which causes rapid and marked natriuresis, diuresis and vasorelaxation. The releases of renin, aldosterone, and antidiuretic hormone are inhibited by ANP in vivo and in vitro experiments. Various atrial natriur- etic peptides were isolated and synthesized. Plasma ANP concentrations usually elevated in conges- tive heart failure, chronic renal failure, pulmonary arterial hypertension, tachyarrhythmia,...

Common variable immunodeficiency, as defined by World Health Organization classification of primary immunodeficiency, is a heterogenous group of disorders with hypogammaglobulinemia, decreased ability to produced antibody following antigenic challenge, and increased incidence of infections. The disorder was often familial, but no mode of inheritance has been discerned. Clinical fingings are recurrent bacterial infections, particularly respiratory infection. Laboratory evaluations in common variable immunodeficiency demonstrate decrease in...

A Case of Doxorubicin-induced Dilated Cardiomyopathy.
Sang Young Jeong, Soo Chun Kim, Sung Ho Cha, Young Mook Choi, Chang Il Ahn
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1989;32(8):1132-1137.   Published online August 31, 1989
Doxorubicin is one of the most effective chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of leukemia, lymphoma and various solid tumors. Because of dose-dependent degenerative cardiomyopathy, however, doxorubicin theraphy may be discontinued ineffectively early. Doxorubicin-induced conges- tive heart failure carries a very poor prognosis since it is lethal in 60% of patients. Various methods for evaluating the cardiotoxic effect have been employed such as EKG, systolic...

Generally, infant of diabetic mother (IDM) have complex multisystems disease resulting in a high incidence of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)-IDM appears as the early onset, transient and non-familial cariomyopathy in neonatal period. The etiology of the left ventricular outflow obstruction in these neonates is not clear. But, it is possible that the asymmetrical septal hypertrophy was a manifestation of the generalized...
