Purpose: Recently, there has been several studies to clarify the pathogenesis of Kawasaki disease (KD) and the relations of VEGF and endostatin that act on vascular endothelial cells to the coronary artery complications. In this report, we measured serum levels of VEGF and endostatin in acute and subacute phases of KD to assess the change of these levels and the... |

The major pathogenesis of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is an inflammatory process that results from a diversity of injuries to the body. Due to the various cytokines and vasoactive peptides released from the endothelium, the vascular permeability is increased; the migration of inflammatory cells and the leakage of plasma proteins then occur and edema develops in the alveolus. There... |

Purpose : Viral respiratory infection, especially respiratory syncytial(RS) virus, can predispose sufferers to the development of asthma by mechanisms that are presently undetermined. The role of inflammatory mediators in pathogenesis of asthma and RS virus disease is not well-understood. We investigated the performance of serum eosinophil cationic protein(ECP), regulated on activation normal T-cell expressed and secreted(RANTES) and eotaxin levels on... |
