Breastfeeding reportedly reduces the overall frequency of infections. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), most common respiratory pathogen in infants, involves recurrent wheezing and has a pathogenic mechanism related to airway structural damage.This study aimed investigate whether breastfeeding beneficial effect against RSV-induced infection compared formula feeding among infants Korea.We retrospectively reviewed medical records under 1 year age who were admitted with RSV between January...
To evaluate whether obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and its severity are related to dyslipidemia alanine transaminase elevation as a marker of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in children.The data collected from polysomnography, laboratory measurements (lipid profile enzyme), body mass index children aged 0-18 years who visited the pediatric department between 2012 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.There total 273 participants study (ages 0-6 years, 7-12 13-18 years: 61.9%, 26.4%, 11.7%,...
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the clinical factors associated with bone mineral density (BMD) among children and adolescents osteoporosis secondary treatment for underlying conditions.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed medical records of patients aged 10–18 years evaluated them lumbar spine BMD (LSBMD) after diseases, including hemato-oncologic, rheumatologic system, inflammator y bowel diseases. LSBMD measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) performed from March 2019...
Survivors of childhood leukemia are at risk growth impairment due to intensive chemotherapy and radiation treatments. This study investigated the auxological biochemical characteristics survivors diagnosed with hormone deficiency (GHD) changes in these parameters after 1 year (GH) treatment.
Fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) are expressed in epiphyseal cartilage cells of developing bones and regulate endochondral bone formation with interdependent signaling pathways. Gene mutation FGFRs disrupts the bony structure by reducing number proliferating chondrocytes. Among syndromes caused FGFR gene, Pfeiffer syndrome is a rare inherited disease characterized acrocephalosyndactyly related to hypertelorism, broad pollex, hallux. We describe case 4-year-old girl short stature,...
Nach akutem Nierenversagen (ANV) entwickeln CD1-Mäuse eine arterielle Hypertonie – ein zusätzliches Risiko für die Niereninsuffizienz während C57/BL6-Mäuse (B6) normoton bleiben. Studienziel war der Vergleich renaler Pathologien nach ANV bei diesen beiden Mausstämmen anhand Diffusionsbildgebung (DWI) und des T2mapping.
Reduced levels of autoantibody against A β was hypothesized to contribute in developing Alzheimer's disease (AD), since low autoantibodies were observed AD patients comparison normal controls. Naturally occurring found circulating blood and cerebrospinal fluid at equilibrium state with antigen, amyloid beta. Conflicting results from pre-formed antigen-antibody complexes. To detect total amounts autoantibody, a dissociation step would be required detach complex for detecting autoantibodies....
Ataxia-telangiectasia (AT; OMIM 208900) is a rare autosomal recessive inherited progressive neurodegenerative disorder, with onset in early childhood. AT caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations ATM (OMIM 607585) on chromosome 11q22. The average prevalence of the disease estimated at 1 100,000 children worldwide. Republic Korea suggested to be extremely low, only few cases genetically confirmed thus far. Herein, we report 5-year-old Korean boy clinical features such as gait...
Abstract Purpose To analyze the relationship between body mass index change and bone age progression during gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist(GnRHa) treatment in girls with idiopathic central precocious puberty Methods: 65 who are treated GnRHa more than 2 years were retrospectively reviewed. Height, weight, Tanner stage, measured every 6 months from start of treatment. The degree obesity was evaluated using (BMI) standard deviation score (SDS), analyzed. Overweight defined as a BMI...
Abstract Background Autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs) are female predominant and much attention has been focused on integral membrane protein 2A (ITM2A) the X chromosome as Grave's disease (GD) susceptible locus. Methods We genotyped ITM2A rs1751094 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in 166 patients (142 females 24 males) diagnosed with AITD (67 HD 99 GD cases). The mean age (±SD) of at enrollment was 14.4 ± 3.5 years 13.8 years. In patients, 49 (49/99, 49.5%) had thyroid-associated...
