Hemodynamics of different volumes of red blood cell transfusion in preterm infants

Eui Kyung Choi, Jeonghee Shin, Gun‐Ha Kim, Byung Min Choi

Pediatrics International > 63 > 4 > 410 - 414

Background Although many controversies exist regarding the risk of red blood cell (RBC) transfusions, half of preterm infants born at <32 weeks of gestational age receive such transfusions because of anemia of prematurity. Because of the costs and risks associated with multiple transfusions, it has been suggested that a large transfusion volume reduces the number of transfusions. However, there...

Risk of low serum levels of ionized magnesium in children with febrile seizure

Sung-Jin Baek, Jung Hye Byeon, So-Hee Eun, Baik-Lin Eun, more

BMC Pediatrics > 2018 > 18 > 1 > 1-6

Background Suboptimal intake of magnesium become prevalent due to the modern diet of processed food low in magnesium. Magnesium may modulate seizure activity by antagonizing excitatory calcium influx through the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor. Although hyponatremia has been reported to be common in febrile seizures, the most common form of seizure, little is known about the status of serum ionized...

Association between maternal exposure to major phthalates, heavy metals, and persistent organic pollutants, and the neurodevelopmental performances of their children at 1 to 2years of age- CHECK cohort study

Sunmi Kim, Soyong Eom, Hai-Joong Kim, Jeong Jae Lee, more

Science of The Total Environment > 2018 > 624 > C > 377-384

Exposure of the developing fetus and infants to toxic substances can cause serious lifelong health consequences. Several chemicals have been associated with adverse neurodevelopmental disorders in the early life stages of humans. However, most epidemiological studies have focused on a limited number of chemicals, and hence may exclude important chemicals from consideration or result in conclusions...

Exposure to lead and mercury through breastfeeding during the first month of life: A CHECK cohort study

Yelim Park, Aram Lee, Kyungho Choi, Hai-Joong Kim, more

Science of The Total Environment > 2018 > 612 > C > 876-883

Mercury and lead are naturally occurring toxicants and are responsible for various health issues including neurobehavioral and developmental disorders. Because of crucial synchronized developmental processes occurring at the early stage of life, infancy and childhood are considered as among the most susceptible windows to the exposure to these metals. Breastmilk is often the only source of nutrition...

Urinary phthalate metabolites over the first 15months of life and risk assessment – CHECK cohort study

Sunmi Kim, Jangwoo Lee, Jeongim Park, Hai-Joong Kim, more

Science of The Total Environment > 2017 > 607-608 > C > 881-887

Phthalates are important group of endocrine disruptors. Infants and young children are susceptible to phthalate exposure. However, information on the phthalate exposure during the early stages of life is very limited. This study was conducted to understand the temporal trend of exposure to major phthalates among infants of Korea during the first 15months after birth, and to estimate associated risks...

Usefulness of intraoperative insular electrocorticography in modified functional hemispherectomy

Gun-Ha Kim, Joo Hee Seo, James E. Baumgartner, Fatima Ajmal, more

BMC Neurology > 2017 > 17 > 1 > 1-5

Background The insular cortex is not routinely removed in modified functional hemispherectomy due to the risk of injury to the main arteries and to deep structures. Our study evaluates the safety and usefulness of applying intraoperative electrocorticography (ECoG) on the insular during the hemispherectomy. Methods We included all patients who underwent insular ECoG during a modified functional...

Norovirus in benign convulsions with mild gastroenteritis

Gun-Ha Kim, Jung Hye Byeon, Deog-Yong Lee, Hyun Ju Jeong, more

Italian Journal of Pediatrics > 2016 > 42 > 1 > 1-5

Background Benign convulsions with gastroenteritis (CwG) are defined as afebrile convulsions accompanying symptoms of gastroenteritis without evidence of laboratory derangement. Although the main pathogen has been known as rotavirus, since the introduction of rotavirus vaccine, associated viruses with CwG may have changed. Thus, we evaluated the viral association of CwG for patients admitting for...

Occurrence and prenatal exposure to persistent organic pollutants using meconium in Korea: Feasibility of meconium as a non-invasive human matrix

Yunsun Jeong, Sunggyu Lee, Sunmi Kim, Sung-Deuk Choi, more

Environmental Research > 2016 > 147 > C > 8-15

Prenatal exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) is of great concern due to the vulnerability of fetus. Nineteen Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), 18 organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) including DDTs, HCHs, chlordanes, and hexachlorobenzene, and 22 polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) were measured in meconium samples from 72 newborn infants using high resolution gas chromatography/mass spectrometry...

Subvalvular pannus and thrombosis in a mitral valve prosthesis

Gun Ha Kim, Dong Hyun Yang, Joon-Won Kang, Dae-Hee Kim, more

Journal of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography > 2016 > 10 > 2 > 191-192

A 69-year-old female underwent cardiac CT to evaluate prosthetic valve (PHV) dysfunction detected on echocardiography. A CT coronal and en face views of the mitral annular plane showed a low-density, mass-like lesion on the left atrial side of the PHV and a high-density, plate-like lesion on the left ventricular side of PHV. A repeat of the mitral valve replacement was performed, and preoperative...

Concentrations of phthalate metabolites in breast milk in Korea: Estimating exposure to phthalates and potential risks among breast-fed infants

Sunmi Kim, Jangwoo Lee, Jeongim Park, Hai-Joong Kim, more

Science of The Total Environment > 2015 > 508 > C > 13-19

Phthalates have been associated with endocrine disruption and developmental effects in many experimental and epidemiological studies. Developing infants are among the most susceptible populations to endocrine disruption. However, limited information is available on phthalate exposure and its associated risks among breast-fed newborn infants. In the present study, breast milk samples were collected...

A start codon CMT1X mutation associated with transient encephalomyelitis causes complete loss of Cx32

Irene Sargiannidou, Gun-Ha Kim, Styliana Kyriakoudi, Baik-Lin Eun, more

neurogenetics > 2015 > 16 > 3 > 193-200

X-linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMTX1) results from numerous mutations in the GJB1 gene encoding the gap junction protein connexin32 (Cx32) and is one of the commonest forms of inherited neuropathy. Owing to the expression of Cx32 not only in Schwann cells but also in oligodendrocytes, a subset of CMT1X patients develops central nervous system (CNS) clinical manifestations in addition to peripheral...

Occurrence and exposure assessment of polychlorinated biphenyls and organochlorine pesticides from homemade baby food in Korea

Yunsun Jeong, Sunggyu Lee, Sunmi Kim, Sung-Deuk Choi, more

Science of the Total Environment > 2014 > 470-471 > Complete > 1370-1375

Data on the residue levels of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in baby food samples are scarce. This is the first study to explore current contamination status and exposure assessment of organochlorines (OCs), including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), in baby food from Korea. In this study, the concentrations of OCs were determined in homemade baby food samples...

Saethre–Chotzen syndrome with an atypical phenotype: identification of TWIST microdeletion by array CGH

Eunhe Cho, Tae Hwan Yang, Eun-Sim Shin, Jung Hye Byeon, more

Child's Nervous System > 2013 > 29 > 11 > 2101-2104

Saethre–Chotzen syndrome is a very rare autosomal dominant congenital disorder characterized by craniosynostosis and acrocephalosyndactyly. It is caused by a mutation in TWIST1, located on chromosome 7p21. A shortage of functional TWIST1 protein affects the development and maturation of cells in the skull, face, and limbs. The patient described in this report displayed craniofacial features classic...
