Correlation between electrocardiographic findings and hemodynamics in 108 children with patent ductus arteriosus, confirmed by cardic catheterization at SNUH, was evaluated. The results were as follows: 1. Age at diagnosis: patients(75/108) were before 10 years old, but about one third of patients(33/108) were over 10 years old. 2. Sex distribution: M:F=1:2 3. Correlation between ventricular hypertrophy pattern by ECG and mean pulmonary arterial pressure: RVH : 57.2mmHg CVH : 42.6mmHg LVH : 25.6mmHg Normal : 20.4mmHg 4. Tall R, deep Q and peaked T in V6 were observed in 5.9% of the cases, tall R and deep Q in 14.7%, tall R and peaked T in 8.8%, tall R only in 41.2% and normal R in 29.4%. By increasing the Qp/Qs ratio, the more cases showed the left ventricular diastolic overloading pattern by Cabrera.

A total of 33 patients underwent repair of congenital ureteropelvic junction obstruction during a 10-year period. A majority of patients (85%) presented with flank pain. Hydronephrosis was demonstrated in all patients. A majority of the patients (94%) underwent dismembered pyeloplasty with intubation. In 9 cases, pyelolithotomy was performed at the time of pyeloplasty. One hypertensive patient became normotensive postoperatively. Seven patients underwent secondary procedures after a previous failed pyeloplasty, including 3 cases of dismembered pyeloplasty, 3 cases of ileal ureteral replacement and a case of nephrectomy. The clinical success rate was 79% with one operation.

Impetigo herpetiformis is a rare pustular eruption that may be seen in late pregnancy. It is associated with severe maternal and fetal complications in case of misdiagnosis and delayed treatment. The patient was a 25-years-old multigravida with psoriasis in her past history. At 20weeks gestation, she had been developed erythematous scaly annular patchs with papules and pustules on inner thigh. At 37weeks' gestation, the patient was suffered from a severely pruritic pustular rash with fever and leukocytosis. The skin of the affected areas was biopsied and showed intraepidermal pustular abscess with a neutrophilic infiltrate. Treatment commenced with intravenous fluids, antibiotics, systemic prednisone, steroid creams, and phototherapy(UVB) under the careful fetal well being monitoring. Cesarean section was done due to fetal distress, and a normal healthy male infant was delivered, following which the patient's condition improved rapidly.

The food exchanges are frequently used to nutrition education and counseling for diabetes, weight control, hyperlipidema and etc. But it is difficult to find out food exchange lists with food exchange groups in the food composition table. This study was conducted to select e-food exchange of commonly used foods(456 foods) and improve search system based on internet. Also, the e-food exchange database was developed as having the proximate composition, mineral and vitamin content such as energy, moisture, protein, fat, carbohydrate, ash, calcium, phosphorus, iron, sodium, potassium, retinol equivalent, retinol, a-carotene, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, ascorbic acid, refuse per 100g of each food. The e-food exchange database developed is basically based on the 6th food composition table(2001) of the National Rural Living Science Institution in Rural Development Administration, Korea. The 456 commonly used foods or 2,262, all foods can be searched easily in a new system. A specific food of e-food exchange can be searched by a given set of food groups or food name and can give information about food one exchange lists, weight and nutrient value per 100g of each food user-friendly on internet. It can be used to make a nutritionally balanced meal plan, nutrition education and counseling.
