Molecular Genetic Screening for the SRY(Sex Determining Region of the Y chromosme) Gene in Turner Syndrome Patients
Jung-Yeon Shim, Han-Wook Yoo
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1996;39(7):915-923.   Published online July 15, 1996
Purpose : Turner syndrome is among the most common cytogenetic abnormalities associated with X chromosome. In only 40-60% of Turner syndrome, 45,X monosomy is found and the high prenatal mortality of non-mosaic 45,X has led to the hypothesis that liveborn 45,X individuals may be cryptic mosaics. The presence of Y chromosome is significant because it predisposes affected individuals with Turner syndrome to gonadoblastoma formation....

Arterial Oxygen Desaturation after Salbutamol Nebulization in Wheezy Infants and Children
Eun Sun Yoo, Jung Won Seo, Seung Joo Lee
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1996;39(7):953-961.   Published online July 15, 1996
Purpose : Nebulized selective β2-adrenoreceptor agonists have been widely used in acute asthma and selectively in acute bronchiolitis. However, nebulized salbutamol have been reported to cause arterial oxygen desaturation in some of the acute bronchiolitis and severe asthma patients. This may be the results of a paradoxical bronchoconstriction linked to acidic and hyper-osmolar nebulized salbutamol solution and etc. We assessed the changes in arterial...
Comparison of Left and Right Ventricular Volume and Cardiac Output by MRI and Echocardiography
Young Mi Hong
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1996;39(7):962-969.   Published online July 15, 1996
Purpose : Ventricular volume and cardiac output are very important to evaluate cardiac fuction. Cine MRI has been found to a feasible technique in evaluating cardiac anatomy and cardiovascular function in a variety of cardiac disease. Measurement of left ventricular volume by cine MRI was closely correlated with the result by echocardiography or cine angiography. The purpose of this study is to compare the...

J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1996;39(7):1005-1009.   Published online July 15, 1996
Hereditary anhidrotic ectodermal Dysplasia is a congenital disease displaying characteristics of anhidrosis, hypotrichosis and dental defect which are caused by developmental anomaly of ectodermal epidermis and its appendages. We experienced two cases of hereditary anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia in two-year and four-month old twin brothers. These patients suffered from intermittent high fever early in life which brought them to our clinical attention. However the diagnosis of...

She showed a few blisters on left ankle at birth and the easy formation of blisters involving the area of trauma or friction with depigmentation after healing. The histologic finding of the lesion showed junctional epidermolysis bullosa. Abdominal...
A Case of Mauriac's syndrome
Se Young Kim, Choong Ho Shin, Il Soo Ha, Hae Il Cheong, Sei Won Yang, Yong Choi, Hyung Ro Moon
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1996;39(7):1020-1024.   Published online July 15, 1996
Mauriac's syndrome was described in the 1920s, as a triad of poorly controlled insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, profound growth retardation, and hepatomgaly. Following the wide availability of insulin and intensification of diabetic control, this entity has become quite rare. A 9-year-old female child was transferred to pediatric OPD of SNUCH because of hyperglycemia, short stature, and visual disturbance. Five years prior to admission, she...

J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1996;39(7):1025-1028.   Published online July 15, 1996
Inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus(ILVEN) is a relatively rare skin disorder, characterized by chronic inflammatory psoriasiform pattern. This chronic skin disorder is generally believed to be resistant to various treatments, although some authors have reported success with 13-cis-retinoic acid and 585 nm pulsed laser therapy. We experienced a 15-month aged female ILVEN patient who has been suffered from linear erythematous verrucous pathes mainly located on...
