We investigated the association between breastfeeding and cognitive development in infants during their first 3 years.The present study was a part of Mothers' Children's Environmental Health (MOCEH) study, which multi-center birth cohort project Korea that began 2006.A total 697 were tested at age 12, 24, 36 months using Korean version Bayley Scales Infant Development II (K-BSID-II).The use duration formula feeding measured.The relationship mental index (MDI) score analyzed by multiple...
Association between Prenatal Exposure to Cadmium and Atopic Dermatitis in InfancyOur objective was evaluate the relationship intrauterine exposure cadmium presence of atopic dermatitis infants 6 months age, adjusted for covariates including other heavy metals.The present research is a component Mothers' Children's Environmental Health (MOCEH) study, multi-center birth cohort project conducted Korea.Study subjects were restricted pregnant women whom lead levels measured at delivery whose...
Our objective is to evaluate the relationships between prenatal maternal stress and depressive symptoms, respectively, infant neurodevelopment at 6 months, adjusted for heavy metals oxidative stress.This research a part of multi-center birth cohort study in South Korea.Information on symptoms was collected during first trimester using Psychosocial Well-Being Index Short Form (PWI-SF) Center Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D).The Korean Bayley Scales Infant Development-II...
Despite the introduction of vaccines in 2006, rotavirus remains one most common causes pediatric gastroenteritis worldwide. While many studies have conclusively shown that infection and is associated with various extraintestinal manifestations including central nervous system (CNS) complications, due to been relatively overlooked. Rotavirus infection-associated CNS complications are children present diverse clinicoradiological features. can be classified based on clinical features brain...
High Maternal Blood Mercury Level Is Associated with Low Verbal IQ in ChildrenThe objective of the present study was to investigate relationship children maternal blood mercury concentration during late pregnancy.The is a component Mothers and Children's Environmental Health (MOCEH) study, multicenter birth cohort project Korea that began 2006.The consisted 553 whose mothers underwent testing for were given Korean language version Wechsler Preschool Primary Scale Intelligence, revised...
We aimed to identify whether rotavirus, human parechovirus, or enterovirus are causative associated viral pathogens of seizures accompanied by diffuse cerebral white matter injury in neonates. Thirty neonates who presented with and diffusion-restriction the widespread bilateral on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were included this study. All patients tested for using reverse transcription PCR. Stool, cerebrospinal fluid, serum samples examined 30, 25, 20 patients,...
Neurologic Manifestations of Enterovirus 71 Infection in KoreaEnterovirus frequently involves the central nervous system and may present with a variety neurologic manifestations.Here, we aimed to describe clinical features, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) profiles patients presenting complications enterovirus infection.We retrospectively reviewed records 31 pediatric hospitalized acute manifestations accompanied by confirmed infection at Ulsan University...
In this study, we aimed to identify cognitive function and neuropsychological comorbidities in children with newly diagnosed idiopathic epilepsy.We retrospectively reviewed the records of 97 antiepileptic drug-naïve (9.7 ± 2.9 years; 54 males 43 females) epilepsy, all whom underwent a battery. The battery consisted Korean Wechsler Intelligence Scale, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Rating ADHD Diagnostic System, Children's Depression Inventory, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory...
The antihistamine astemizole has shown disease-modifying effects in several preclinical disease models of Parkinson’s (PD). Astemizole also interacts with an anomalous aggregation Alzheimer’s disease-related amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide and inhibitory activity on the human prion protein PrPSc. We hypothesized that proposed benefits PD can be associated attenuation pathological α-synuclein (α-syn) aggregation. tested fibrillation processes amyloid peptides using thioflavin T monitoring, Congo red...
Down syndrome, the most common chromosomal abnormality, may be associated with various neurologic complications such as moyamoya cervical spinal cord compression due to atlantoaxial subluxation, and basal ganglia damage, well epileptic seizures stroke. Many cases of syndrome accompanied by isolated manifestations have been reported in children; however, multiple conditions is rare. Here, we a case 10-year-old girl who presented asymptomatic subluxation compression, calcification. To best our...
Our province recently experienced an outbreak of neonatal rotavirus-associated leukoencephalopathy. This study aimed to verify whether leukoencephalopathy constituted fifth-day fits, which prevailed in Europe and Australia between the 1970s mid-1980s. Of 118 full-term neonates who were admitted 2008 2017 due seizures, those fulfilled following criteria for fits included: healthy prior seizures; absence perinatal asphyxia; seizure onset during 4-6 days age; no known cause seizures. Overall,...
Purpose : The purpose of this study was to analyze the epidemiology, causative organism, clinical manifestation and prognosis bacterial meningitis for children after introduction Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) vaccine in Daejeon Chungcheong area. Methods We analyzed retrospectively 53 medical records who had been diagnosed with at 10 general or university hospitals All patients aged 1 month-14 years admitted between January 2001 through December 2005. Results During 5-year period, 40...
Enteroviral meningitis is typically diagnosed as the presence of pleocytosis and viral RNA in cerebrospinal fluid. However, it was recently reported that more than 50% infants with enteroviral by polymerase chain reaction had no fluid pleocytosis. This study investigated type I interferon (IFN) cytokine profiles based on or absence children meningitis.We included 51 patients showing (pleocytosis group), 31 without (non-pleocytosis 52 controls (control group) compared interleukin 6 (IL-6),...
