Purpose : Interleukin(IL)-10 is an antiinflammatory cytokine produced by monocytes/macrophages. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor(G-CSF) plays an important role, not only as a hemopoietic factor but also as a regulating factor for a biologic defense system by neutrophils, in the foci of infection. We studied G-CSF and IL-10 levels in the serum and cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) of patients with aseptic meningitis and investigated... |

Purpose : Patent ductus arteriosus(PDA) is a common disease in very low birth weight
infants(VLBWI). Hemodynamically significant PDA increases the morbidity and mortality of
premature infants. Based on experimental model, light inhibits the constriction of immature piglet' s
ductal rings. No specific mechanism adequately explains the effect of light on the relaxation of
PDA. Several hypotheses, including activation of photosensitive metabolites, alterations in receptors,
or... |
